plan a month of reading with me | my February TBR

[@emmiereads]

Please ignore the silly Emma in this video who totally bought the wrong Dickens book for the book club - you guys are so right, our pick for February and March is actually Barnaby Rudge! probably would have read the whole thing without realizing so thank you!😂

[@jodihowe7274]

Barnaby Rudge was such a pleasant surprise for me! I think you will love it👍

[@Lewis_IRL]

I didn’t spot the mistake at all, perhaps too excited about the Big 4 which is to come. I say Big 4 is rather improbable, but would be fun to see how Emma the sleuth stops the destruction of mankind.

[@lauramolina3337]

😂😂 love this, that’s totally something I would do.

[@ldh1562]

i saw a quote recently that reminded me of you and how you've been feeling - it went "there is no old self to get back to, only a new you to create and nurture." i hope you've been feeling better, thank you for always making us such nice and thoughtful content, i know we all appreciate it very much! 💗

[@emmiereads]

exactly what I needed to hear, that is so exactly what I've been struggling with thank you so much for the reminder this morning

I lost my mom 1 month ago, and I just want to say that your videos help me to keep going, not only while watching them, but also by discovering new worlds in the form of books. I appreciate you so much, thx ☺️

it doesn't take a lot to make me happy but when you post, it's truly like my entire world stops and I just have to watch your video. I don't know what it is about your content, but it truly feels like self-care at this point. I feel rejuvenated and incredibly inspired to read, write or go out for a walk. I hope you're doing okay and that you have someone who does the same thing for you that you do for us x sending love from Slovenia x

As a Brazilian I love to see FINALLY someone on booktube reading Brazilian classics, Dom Casmurro is my favorite from Machado, I hope you love Brás Cubas as much as I love it! Much love from Brazil ❤

[@bobkhan1809]

Who are other classic Brazilian authors you would recommend that might be available in English translation? I really love "Near to the Wild Heart" by Clarice Lispector, and I've really wanted to read Grande Sertão: Veredas for a long time, but it isn't easy to get hold of an English translation. I hope this year has gotten off to a good start for you though.

Dom Casmurro is my favorite, too.

Things fall apart is a nuanced and often heartbreaking look at. colonialism-but also the choices that the protagonist still has power over. The title is a reference to one of my favorite Yeats poems, The Second Coming: “Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, the blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned…” Can’t wait to hear your thoughts.

[@lornam3637]

Definitely keep going with Spinning Silver. It begins slow and bleak but then picks up and is full of magic, excitement and light!

[@sunflower-oe1zd]

I’m so happy to hear you learn German currently :) I’m German myself, and honestly, just being able to read Rilke (my favourite poet) in original makes me feel glad about German being my mother tongue... it’ll be so worth it to learn

[@taniyaghosh9452]

Hi Emma! This may seem like a very silly request but could you do a vlog or a small section in a vlog dedicated to gardening or just your plants in general and tell us a little about them and how you got into growing plants? Anything similar would also be appreciated! I've just recently started to get interested in plants and gardening and would like to know more about your story. Lots of love. Oh, also, people in the comments section: If you're into gardening, any tips for a newbie? Thanks a ton in advance :D

[@yasminpaiva4543]

love these planning videos! hope you enjoy reading brás cubas as much as the short stories, machado is truly a literary treasure for us brazilians

I was so busy with medical school I barely got to read anything But my February TBR includes: The girl who drank the moon (because you suggested it and I trust you so much) Scythe trilogy Crooked kingdom A touch of darkness I read um novelita lumpen because of you and I enjoyed it. Lots of love from Iran ❤️❤️❤️

[@kristina_rr]

I have the biggest respect for people who try to learn German because it can be a pain in the ass sometimes 😅 and your German sounds so adorable. Just one tip: the „ch“ in German words is pronounced like the H in „hue“. It‘s only pronounced as a k when the word starts with an „ch“. So for example: in „Christkind“ the Ch is a K-sound; so it sounds basically like: Kristkind (or Christmas) In „mich“ the Ch is a H (as in hue) sound. Hope that helps ♥️

[@pattycandle3596]

Hello from France ! Thank you for this video ! I love the atmosphere you create around the pleasure of reading. It's a beautiful and peaceful place and it motivates me to read more and enjoyed it.

[@gabrielle_vx]

I've added some Canadian and Indigenous books to my tbr this month: several story collection by Ivan Coyote, Les Belles Soeurs by Michel Tremblay, Shuni by Naomi Fontaine, and Hunting by Stars by Cherie Dimaline.

[@anne5360]

That was funny - i watch your videos so often and generally study a lot in English - i don't always realise you're speaking another language than I do. Hearing you suddenly chatting in german (my mother tongue) was a short moment of: Oh. Right. I forgot. Wishing you all the best with this learning process! I am learning portuguese in the moment - languages are so fascinating!

Exactly the same for me haha! I’m German too and it took my brain a few seconds to wrap around it

[@marlis7615]

hey emmie, I love the way you speak German! I am from Austria so I grew up speaking German. I can imagine how difficult it must be to learn. But you got this, the German language can be very beautiful. Of course you have to get used to our "brutal" pronunciation. Greetings from Austria, or in German, Liebe Grüße aus Österreich!

I definitely want to step out of my comfort zone this year in regards to reading and Emma motivates me to do just that !!

[@caroldedeurwaerder2660]

My February reading pile is pretty laid back. I'm currently reading a series "Bernie & Chet" by Spencer Quinn. Super cute! Quick read! Quite funny told in a dog's perspective. I plan on reading book 2 to The Inheritance Games. I added the K.J Sutton series to my kindle. You are a great joy & inspiration in the lives of others. I hope 2022 treats you with love & kindness.

Hoping to get through "One of Ours" by Cather, "The Orchard Keeper" by McCarthy, and "The Wild Palms" by Faulkner this month. I hadn't read a novel for quite some time, but some events got me into one in particular right at the beginning of January and now I have a reading plan for the year in the works after discovering your channel. Thanks for sharing your love of reading, it's genuinely encouraging!

Thank you for these videos. They truly are so comforting and I look forward to watching them! You have such a way of just reflecting comfort and peace. I hope you are feeling better, I know sometimes it can be hard to not get stuck in the repetitiveness of life and to stop feeling numb. But even if it doesn't mean much, it truly does get better. And things start to get brighter, because I have been there before, and I've seen how things change and get better through time. Sending all the love, and again thank you so much for sharing these videos!

[@ruthwilliams9310]

Emma, a Kindle book you might enjoy is The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg. It is the beginning of a charming series with a unique magical system. I found myself doing origami while I was reading this. It has it's faults as the main protagonist becomes too powerful by the end for me, but I enjoyed the journey. It's a good quick read type of series that's perfect for Kindle.

[@Tania.atlasinajar]

[@casuallykat3188]

If you are looking for an around-the-world pick for Argentina, I definitely recommend The Wind That Lays Waste by Selva Almada. I was inspired by you to read more international and translated works. It is super short and the writing was stunning. One of my top reads from last year.

[@jyimmiy2212]

I am so happy that you are reading The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas. I would love to see your reaction about the chapter LV.

[@maudhaugland5822]

Your videos are so comforting 😊 Also, I love your jumper! Some of the books I hope to read in February are Piranesi, The Memory Police, The Ghost of Frederic Chopin and The Poppy War ✨

[@MusicBlik]

I read Spinning Silver recently and it DEFINITELY picks up once Miriam (the MC) makes her boast about spinning silver into gold. While there are moments of action/excitement, though, it never really picks up the pace. It struck me while reading it that it wouldn't make a very good audiobook, since the prose was so atmospheric and the plot moves so slowly. I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with it. The flip side of that is we get to know the characters really, really well. And the winter setting is integral to both the atmosphere and the plot itself, being both a driving cause and a result, so I was truly looking forward to you enjoying it.

[@anthipaganou3727]

“The things you can see only when you slow down” is the best non-fiction book I have read I recommend it soooo bad! My tbr for February is: Snow and Rose, Burial Rites and Before the coffee gets cold!☺️

[@illyrianvines5410]

I'd definitely recommend Spinning Silver! Strong female characters and friendships, and the atmospheric descriptions of snow are just **chef's kiss**✨

[@emmiereads]

I decided to continue with it and I'm so glad I did - it's capturing all the bleakness and beauty of winter and ah yes amazing!

I just finished Spinning Silver! The ending is satisfying for me. And I agree when you said that the writing is sad and bleak at times. It's somehow an accurate representation of the realities that the leading characters have to face. I do hope you give it a try. Sending virtual hugs from the Philippines!

[@eire02]

My reading priority for this month is The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson (I’ve been reading it relatively slow because I want to soak it all in). Also, I study Korean at university and it’s genuinely my main love in life (aside from reading of course). Next year we get to take extra language modules if we want so I plan to take Japanese (hopefully to aid myself with visiting Japan after my year abroad in Korea)! I wish you luck with all your language learning ✨💫

I loved Gild (the entire series is so good); I love Auren’s character and I’m so excited for the fourth book! Also, for magical/ whimsical recs, you should definitely read The House in the Cerulean Sea if you haven’t already. It made me so happy and was my first 5 star read of the year🥰

[@lidyarivai4685]

My TBR for this month is quite ambitious 😝 The Iliad by Homer Death's End by Liu Cixin The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Great Expectations by Charles Dickens Paradise Lost by John Milton Me Before You by Jojo Moyes After You by Jojo Moyes Still Me by Jojo Moyes Love Stories by Trent Dalton One Last Stop by Casey McQuinston Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare The Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien The Two Towers by J. R. R. Tolkien The Return of the King by J. R. R. Tolkien This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone But the first two I'm bringing over from January and a bunch are audiobooks! Since I'm going back to uni in March, I always just wanted to spend as much of Feb as I can reading. I was inspired by your Nov/Dec/Jan vlogs to do more themed reading lists so I put a lot of romance on here! There's a very high likelihood that some of these books will change tho haha but anyways wishing everyone great joy and learning from their reading!!

@@unknown5077 Dickens vs. Tolstoy is Emma and Carolyn’s reading club in which they read all of the two authors’ works over a span of four years.

Hey there, Emma! Thanks for making another day better💞 Actually, I've already watched the video this morning, but only now I have time to write a comment. First of all, thank you SO MUCH for inspiring me to start yoga marathon. It's just day 2 for me, but it already feels extremely helpful and relaxing. As for the book picks, I'm still in classic reads, but adding touches of some modern works. Not long ago I finished "Siddartha" by Hermann Hesse. It is a classic and it's on a shorter side, but what a journey it made me go through! Honestly, I am sure I'm going to re-read this piece. Highly recommend reading it to you! The book is phenomenal: colourful, full of wisdom, life, fate, clairvoyance and life lessons you will always need. Loved it to bits💛💛💛 Also I've read a book by Armenian author Narine Abgaryan. The book is called "Three Apples Fell From the Sky". I don't think this writer is translated to English (which is so frustrsting, because she is incredible), but I absolutely loved reading her. I felt hugged by this warm, sand-coloured (is giving writing style a color a thing?) flowing-like-river narrative combined with stunning descriptions and characters' backstories. It reminded me of "One Hundred Years of Solitude", so there wasn't any chance I wouldn't love this book. As for the month of February, I'd like to get into more non-fiction (to start, at least) and have more Hesse novels and shorter stories, because Hesse is amazing. Okay, going to end writing now. Thank you so-so much for sharing your choice for the month and for being
