everything I read in February | a month of heavy reading, research, & romance

[@ulengrau6357]

Emma, have you ever made a video on how you split up your time - especially during very heavy schoolwork intensive weeks - so that you are able to record, edit, READ READ READ, but also not fall behind in your classes? Some of the books you read are not a walk in the park, and yet, you do a stupendous job of describing them with the same attention as the "easier" books.

[@ariahauser4224]

My favorite book of the month was The Handmaid's Tale. If I'm perfectly honest, I did not expect to enjoy it. In the past I have read fantasy pretty much exclusively, and this was also an assigned read. I ended up loving it because of the writing and the characters I think. Or maybe I just finally got passed my "I only like fantasy thing"

[@emmiereads]

that's so funny I just had that one in my hands yesterday was thinking of starting the audiobook so maybe I'll pick it up! glad you liked it so much!

[@sparklyninja12]

I had a really good reading month! I am just getting back into reading this year after a veryyyyyy long reading slump and the highlights of this month were: Jade City, House in the Cerulean Sea, Ariadne, and The Witch’s Heart. I also started re-reading the Percy Jackson series and made it through the first 4 books! An all around enjoyable month for books!

Hi Emmie, I’m usually a silent viewer, but if you are trying to soak up Frankenstein content, you should definitely check out the series “Penny Dreadful”! Victorian horror literary characters like Dr. Frankenstein, Count Dracula and Dorian Gray are characters in the show. Best wishes from Ottawa!

@@emmiereads Omg, YES! How have I not recommended you this before!? Penny Dreadful is amazing! One of my favorite series (sadly the last season was a bit rushed, cause the show got cancelled). Big recommendation from me as well. It's what made me want to read more gothic literature.

The beginning is Elizabeth Swann in the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie😆 I started reading a collection of Rilke this month; the first few verses already did me in, so devastating but beautiful.

[@jmsl910]

that is what i was thinking too!!

[@tindayaalmeida9098]

I reread things fall apart at the beginning of the year for a university course. The first time I read it was a couple of years ago so I barely remembered a thing. It was like reading it for the first time again. Exactly what you said, you keep on reading because nothing seems to be happening, but the end leaves you speechless. It think it is a must for everyone.

Your calm videos relax me while still studying for my last exam and having to write 2 10 page papers until the 15th of March. 😅 Sending you hugs from Germany ☀️

[@juke986]

February is an easier month to pick a favorite book! Nothing I read was bad by any means but my favorite is just a standout - All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. It's just absolutely perfect in its imagery and storytelling, and very timely when you think about unexpected circumstances and the pandemic. A close second is Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi. It did have some repetitive moments throughout, but the feeling I got while reading this book did everything that I wanted it to do. I really want to get more into Japanese literature that isn't related to war time or history and this hit that mark perfectly

[@luhsea]

Ooh I am definitely adding Monster She Wrote to my to read list - that sounds brilliant! My favourite February read was Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson, the writing was exquisite.

[@curiouslanguage2032]

Gosh, listening to you talk about the essays you're writing really makes me miss university. I miss engaging with my reading on such a deep level. I found booktube in an effort to recapture that, but it's hard when people don't go far beyond "I liked it/I didn't like it." Anyway, I tried to read only black authors this past month. My favorite was Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi. It was really excellent, although I cried. The meditations on religion versus science, on the nature of addiction and depression, and on our approach to shame really spoke to me. It was a great book.

[@studymusicforeveryone]

My favorite read for this month is Frankenstein, I have always been intimidated by this book but you convinced me again and again to pick it up. I love it mostly because of the journey I had with the book and also because of its amazing writing. Still in awe.

[@maanya__742]

I finally read Frankenstein this month, after hearing you praise it so much. Absolutely loved it. Went back and reread favourite lines and paragraphs right after I finished it. Please share your essay on it, if possible. The topic you picked and the research you did makes it so intriguing.

[@lidyarivai4685]

I wait to watch your videos until I can truly enjoy and cherish them because they are just such a serene, relaxing time. Always love your thoughts and I definitely added a few of these books to my every growing TBR.

I read A little princess this month. And Oh my gosh, A solid 5 star read😭💜(also became my fav) Couldn't be any better. Something with the author's writing kept me engaged for the entire time. Thinking of picking up "THE SECRET GARDEN" next!

[@gloriaaaaa]

I read "Into the water" by paula Hawkins and "Finding Audrey" by Sophie Kinsilla .. i enjoyed them both and love "Into the water" so much! It blew my mind at the end and i thought it was great

[@akensons]

Things Fall Apart is one of my favorite books ever. Had to read it for Academic Decathlon my senior year of high school and I couldn't get enough of it. There are a few loose sequels too that are worth checking out, No Longer at Ease in particular.

I just filmed my february reads video today! I actually enjoyed most of the books I read but my favorite was definitely Bunny by Mona Awad. I also enjoyed some Hades and Persephone retellings :)

[@sarahmaryja9762]

February was one tough reading month for me- I only finished two books, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Act you age, Eve Brown. The latter is my absolute new fave when it comes to romance, I think it's the best one in the trilogy by far and those books are all amazing. I've been reading Little Women for a while now and I love it but I feel like I have to be in a particular mood to read it, so it's been taking me over a month :/ Hoping I get more enjoyment out of reading this month, so far it's looking good, I started Mistborn today and am already totally hooked.

[@katerina9159]

I didn’t read a lot this month due to exams but my favourite read was “The sword of destiny” (Witcher’s 2nd book), my next reads will be A court of thorn and roses The blood of elves A tale of two cities Sense and sensibility Hannibal , love you Emma ❤️

[@fountain_writes]

I only read two books in February, but of those, my favorite was "Trigger Warning" by Neil Gaiman. It's a collection of short fiction, poetry, and fanfiction and I really enjoyed it! Gaiman was hit or miss for me for a really long time, but I've come around to really appreciating his work. I don't love short fiction as a whole, but I enjoyed getting to look into what is in essence a sandbox for him; somewhere that he can play and experiment without committing to a whole novel in a certain style. Weirdly, it also set me up to read the novella, "Nothing But Blackened Teeth" by Cassandra Khaw. Sort-of serendipitous that the final story in "Trigger Warning" should cover the topic of Hitobashira and introduce me to the concept, for me to then read a whole novella about the same thing by accident. I love that!

Fav book of the month was Dracula 🧛‍♂️ it was a re-read, but I realized that the first time I read it, I only got halfway through 🤯 I truly thought I had finished the book but I was listening on audible so I guess that confused me. so maybe it was my first true reading Dracula lol. I read a picture of Dorian Gray this month also, and it was okay but the pacing felt very slow. I didn’t really like Henry’s character so that made it hard to read so much from him

I read Spinning Silver in January, and I really wanted to love it because it had been specifically recommended to me, but I just didn't. It was 3 star read for me as well, and I really felt like I was the only one. Everyone else that I have heard talk about this book loved it. Like you, I really enjoyed the story, but strongly disliked the execution of it. I agree that it could have been a lot shorter. I usually love slow paced books, I love really getting to know the characters and the world, but I struggled with this one. I kind of felt like nothing really happened for about the first 75% of the book, and I didn't feel anymore connected to the characters, or the world, for all the lack of action. It wasn't horrible by any means, but definitely not my cup of tea. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that didn't "love" it.

My favourite book this month was actually a nonfiction - Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Absolutely loved being immersed in nature for a while in such a beautiful way that it made me tear up several times purely from the writing lol. But 5/5 read, would 100% recommend especially to people who want to connect to nature or want to view nature in a new way that feels like a warm hug. It was also just a really interesting and unique perspective blending native american culture and teachings with modern western science and ecology, and also gave a really intriguing comparison between the relationship that native american people have with nature (which is very much humans are a part of nature and belong to nature) vs. western people's relationship with nature (in which humans are very much above or at least outside of nature). Ah I just loved it and already want to read it again

I'm brazilian and you just motivated me to read The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas. I gave up with The Alienist cause I just was not getting it. It's my first language but i still think i miss a lot while reading Machado's stories. but I do love The Chapter on Hats, A Lady (i don't know if this is the translation, but the story of a lady who does not want to age), The Mirror and The Devil's Church. I read Dom Casmurro too and I like it, but I think I will enjoy it more by the time I read it for the third or fourth time. At the first read I know what the book is about. The second read i pay attention to details about Capitu and Bento's relationship. The third read I hope I''l just read it cause I miss the story and I want to spend some time with them. Fun fact about Machado's books in Brasil: We have a very lame education system so most brazilian people have never read it fully cause the language is very pompous and we kind of don't read national classics spontaneously. We are all forced to read Machado's at a very young and immature age, so we all know what the book is about, actually we are very up to these characters and the themes and the story. It's ike they are our neighbors. Dom Casmurro is more popular here. A lot of people take an effort to read Dom Casmurro.

[@coffeenurse]

My top read of the month was The Books of Jacob by Olga Torcarczuk - a 960 page beast. It was absolutely incredible - Polish (and surrounding countries) historical fiction about the rise and fall of a messianic figure is the best way to describe it, but there's so much and it's so perfectly written. Jennifer Croft translated it into English and did a phenomenal job. I missed it the day after I finished it because I'd gotten so engrossed in the world.
