I BOUGHT MY DREAM BOOKS l Book Haul.

[@NicoleFoti]

Your little book nook background looks so cozy and adorable!

[@c.d.6736]

Scribd does not give access to unlimited books/audiobooks. Once you've read a few most of the audiobooks you saved are blocked until the next month... Just dropping that here bc I'm tired of hearing booktubers say that when it's not true...

[@emmmabooks]

Claire D. I really wasn’t aware of this as I only just started using it, but a few people notified me of this in the comments! I haven’t experienced this yet, but I will definitely mention it when talking about scribd in the future.

[@account8221]

The same thing happens to me too! I thought there was something wrong with my account and it only happened to me since I didn't hear anybody else mention it but I've seen multiple people talking about it in this comments section so that's a relief. I wrote to Scribd about it the first month but didn't get a response unfortunately.

[@c.d.6736]

@@account8221 I wrote to them and got a response pretty quickly, i mentionned the false advertising through Booktubers so that's probably why. But they told me that's how it was and they have agreements with publishing houses that block us from listening to too many books especially popular ones. I unsuscribed after two months. If they had been honest from the start I would have understood but their marketing was that it was unlimited so......

[@account8221]

Claire D. In that case the misadvertisement really sucks. I am still subscribed since it's still a pretty good price for 2-3 audiobooks a month and the occasional e-book, compared to sites like audible, but it's also really frustrating because I was very excited to be able to access a lot more than that. At the end of the day, they are scamming people.

[@withcindy]

yay this book haul is so exciting!! i wasn't planning on reading city of ghosts but everyone has been gushing over the book so i think i might give it a try

[@justvynexa]

readwithcindy I hope you do, because that review would be dope .

[@mybookishlyfe6872]

You definitely should! It was much better than I was expecting

[@emmmabooks]

i hope you enjoy it!

[@annapancake]

i totally feel you. I have also finally all my UK Harry potter books. I hunted them down through different second hand book shops over the years but i am so happy now that i have them all together. It is indeed special

[@BrittanytheBibliophile]

ABE BOOKS IS THE BEST!!! Also that City of Ghosts cover is my new obsession. I'm so happy for you and your OG UK Harry Potter editions!! It really showed just how long you've been wanting them and how much it means to you!! I feel like I was that way when I was collecting my Series of Unfortunate Events books!

[@musingsofacoffeeaddictedbi7508]

Ohh great picks! I'll definitely have to check out Escaping from Houdini.

[@certain.bookish.things]

How exciting to finally get your dream books!! My dream books are definitely the UK gorgeous paperback editions of TMI. They are so beautiful!

[@letsgetreckless]

omg the original bloomsbury harry potter books!!! I want those as well!! wait can you do a video on your harry potter merch and paraphernalia??? That would be so cool!

[@headoverbooks15]

Your outfit and makeup is just so great and fabulous!!! This book haul is amazing as well ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Weareone0518]

Omg Emma I love the energy you put out. You always are legitimately excited about what you talk about.

[@averagejoereads7271]

Ahh I’m so happy for you getting those HP covers. They’re the covers I grew up with and still read to this day, so it’s great to see you treasure them so dearly. Loved this video! 💙

[@abookshelfoffairiesandfoxe615]

Oh my gosh, I love how much you nerded out over the bloomsbury copies of Harry Potter!

[@ReadByJess]

I swear your excitement for these books is contagious! I love that you got UK covers, that is commitment!

[@m-b-s-1-8-3-2]

Prior to finding them on eBay, I was obsessed with trying to find copies of the Waterstones special editions of Lady Midnight and Lord of Shadows, but then I found them and I was so happy. And the moment, the QoAaD one went live, I was wiping out the credit card and pre-ordering because I NEEDED it. But now, that I have them, my “dream” books would be the UK special editions of TMI where they are all different colors with the different symbols on them. Ever since I watched your first Shadowhunter shelf tour video, I’ve been fawning over them and wanting them.

[@aideeng8259]

I am so excited for The Lady's Guide! Interested to here why you didn't love Wildcard. I was obsessed with Warcross when it was out but have heard mixed things about Wildcard.

[@jjamieallover]

listening to you gush about your dream books is so lovely

[@laura6710]

I 100% relate to your dream books!! I recently got this same edition. I just happened upon them at an estate sale and was so excited!! I have a vast collection of Harry Potter editions and this was a set I always wanted to add and never had before. So finding them in the US for super cheap felt like fate. So I absolutely get your excitement for this beautiful set!!

[@xmajkax31]

Omg I get you! I've always (growing up in Poland) wanted these editions and when I found out they are out of print I was so sad! I managed to buy few of them second hand but I'm still missing 3! you are not alone haha :)

[@erinmyers2290]

I’m the SAME way! I love having different editions and I’ve always wanted these Harry Potters as well. I love seeing you get a new edition (to you) of CoB as well. This month I FINALLY got Little and Lion and I’ve only read like a page so far but I am so excited

I am so excited for The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy! I read The Gentleman's Guide in August and absolutely fell in love with it. I didn't know Felicity was ace-aro, and that makes me even more excited!

[@cozymonica]

i loveeee this look i still need to read renegades omg i'm so glad you got your dream books finally! the set looks beautiful together.

[@amandazarb7520]

I too always dreamed of owning the original editions of Harry Potter and last year for my birthday my father got me a set! It seems like nothing to some people but it was probably one of the best birthday gifts I've ever received! So happy you were finally able to get your hands on them, they are beautiful!

[@NatalieCatMeow233]

omg i picked up renegades because of you, im halfway through and loving it and i thought i'd totally imagined there was a sequel!! i'm so excited now

[@emily1celebfan]

So crazy that those Harry Potter editions are so special to you! I have those editions but that’s because whenever a new one was released we’d just go the book shop and get it! My whole family have read them and they’re the books that have sat on my families bookshelves for 15+ years, I definitely took the original editions for granted!!

[@lisens2466]

I'm the same way about the original UK covers, and they've become sort of a collectors item for me, so every time I'm in the UK I find a used bookstore and I buy one more of the set. I just love them and they're the only second hand books I own and I love that there's a story behind then (expecially the first edition HBP and DH)

[@givemeprimelaughter]

I just bought Lady's Guide and I cannot WAIT to read it. Felicity is one of my fave female characters.

[@bookswithalyssaj449]

love your eyeshadow in this video! your makeup looks are always so good!

[@hanabanana8028]

i really got 90s vibes from your eye makeup and the top and choker :)

[@mckenziestaley9063]

It's really awesome that you got those copies of Harry Potter! I think it's great that you love something like that and were finally able to have it! And that edition of Daughter of the Burning City is so beautiful! I am obsessed!

[@untitledcraziness9805]

I totally have dream books, I spend so much time wishing I had certain editions! And just yesterday my dream books arrived, the American hardback editions of The Raven Cycle, all signed by Maggie Stiefvater!!! She ran a Kickstarter campaign for a box to put them in which she designed and I already had that so now they are all looking gorgeous on my shelves and it makes me so happy!

[@zeryyyyy6835]

That's amazingggg

[@witchymary5246]

Damn, I'm so jealous :D

[@emmmabooks]

aw that is so exciting!!!!!!

[@faenoir7653]

Congrats on finding those HP editions! They're super pretty and I'd be over the moon to own them too. I have so many series that I consider "dream books" that I've been coveting, because they're such a special part of my childhood/reading experience. I'm slowly but surely completing my collection of original hardback editions of Brian Jacques' Redwall series, the Heralds of Valdemar by Mercedes Lackey, and I swear one day I will have the complete original Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew series. (Just to name a few! 😊)

[@romaiqbal4408]

I plan on reaching most of these books and the Bloomsbury Harry Potter editions are on my dream book list too

[@nyx1797]

omg i feel you on the hp books, i live in Hungary, and i once found a first edition hardcover copy of Half Blood Prince in perfect condition for like 2 dollars, and i have been meaning to collect the whole series in this edition since then

[@mybirthwrite]

I always find myself loving UK covers more than US ones and my wallet cannot handle it lmao The City of Ghosts UK cover is SO HALLOWEEN-Y I love it. And I'm so happy you got the HP covers you wanted!! I want them, too! I have the original US covers, and I love them, but the color blocked spines of the UK covers are so gorgeous!

[@hanaalfayez7150]

Hi Emma the Harry Potter editions that you have are the ones I have read first and I still have them I was thrilled when you showed them ❤️❤️

[@angiefeliz3966]

Omg I can’t wait for the lady’s guide!!!

[@nc9804]

Scribd is a scam. Its NOT unlimited. If you read the very fine print, it says it not unlimited. I've had it for almost two months now to test it and it appears after listening to 3 audio books they SEVERELY restrict what you can listen to. Very disappointing.

[@bethholland3627]

I inherited my mum’s original editions of HP (the Bloomsbury ones) and there are so unbelievably special to me so I get you xx

[@letthebutterbeetflow]

Emma, you are officially my hero. I've been searching for a reasonably priced copy of Charmed Knits (it's a Harry Potter knitting book that went out of print years ago) and have only ever been able to find copies that were being listed for $100+. I'd never heard of Abebooks before you just mentioned it in this video...they have a couple copies on there for like $30 after shipping. So, THANK YOU! This video has just helped me acquire one of my dream books!

[@emilytreads]

gingergeekgirl omg now I want charmed knits!!

[@hanabanana8028]

i'm from the uk but didn't get into collecting books until a couple of years ago. i knew that i had to get the original covers of hp in hardback (even tho i prefer paperback) and i currently have 5/7. i'm only missing the first two and i'm still on the hunt!

[@livnoe6431]

Oh my gosh that's so amazing that you got those Harry Potter editions! I've wanted those so badly for so long too!

[@saraskaggs8725]

I preorder wicked king on good choice readings and I might be able to get the exclusive edition of them. I also received Circe which is super excited. But I received my most anticipated read of 2018, ESCAPING FROM HOUDINI!!!! My dream books are the original Harry Potter books and the original Percy Jackson series!

[@ThePsychoNyx]

Okay I love the light pastel makeup. living for it. Will defo check out scribd when I start audiobooks. I really want to try out Warcross and Wildcard as it sounds intriguing esp as a gamer. 30 Second Psychology sounds like an easy way to get into Psychology and learn a basis!

[@evelyn10_18]

Omg Emma you've literally got me listening to Lil Peep 24/7 thanks for the great artist suggestion!! I'm obsessed with him now!!

[@bookishnatie9614]

This is aesthetically pleasing:) ,I love the title of this video emma. I assume more mortal instrument books lmao.

[@drewsambitiousreading2752]

I read city of ghost by victoria schwab and loved it! I still need to read amanda foody books, Black enough sounds amazing can't wait for it to come out, I just started reading the iron trial series and I read the first book and planning on reading the rest thanks to the audiobooks on my scribd app. I have a thousand beginnings and endings on my tbr shelf. I also have renegades on my shelf. I pre-order the lady's guide to petticoats and piracy! I'm dying to read escpaing from houdini! I just bought wildcard this month even though I haven't read Warcross yet!(:

[@TrinityZaysiaClips]

Love the video! The last time I lied is absolutely amazing. The ending gets me every time and this book has a permanent home in my collection.

[@emmmabooks]

thanks lovely!! i'm really enjoyed it so far :))

[@emilygrace2589]

I had those editions as a kid and we had like 5 copies because they kept falling apart because we all read them so much. Now I have nice shiny new ones but those ones will always be special to me

[@mariac__as]

I love seeing people so excited like this 🍀🍀

[@captivatecharm]

Emma, if you're a dork...I'm a dork. LOVED the dream books part - because I GET IT! I've been collecting other editions of HP - It is a thing for sure!!!

[@steveschiely5783]

Emma love your reviews - Renegades I will buy!

[@teatimewitht6937]

I know exactly how you feel about Harry Potter! Last year, my mum surprised me with the original Bloomsbury UK first editions too and I was so touched I literally almost cried.

[@readbymarta2781]

you got the lady's guide! i can't wait fot he book to be released

[@nkfanning]

9:32 AHHHG I CANT TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM FOR THIS! arch enemies for you is like lgtpap for me, October 2nd can’t come soon enough!

[@trinhsformerz]

OMG THE COVER OF THE GOLDEN TOWER IS EVERYTHING!!!! I CAN'T STOP STARING AT IT AHH and i'm so happy you got your dream books! those harry potter books are beautiful and i'm glad they've found a wonderful home :)

[@nandhiniselvam802]

hey emma.....i cannot tell you how eagerly i wait for your book hauls.....you are amazing !!!! Love from India..

[@SylvieLewa]

A few of the books I got this month are Sadie by Courtney Summers (of course), An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green, Love & Other Carnivorous Plants, Heretics Anonymous, and The Afterlife of Holly Chase! And I've been dreaming about owning those Harry Potter editions, too. You're definitely not alone there. It's so exciting that you finally have them! 😍

[@chroniclesoftae1280]

A Thousand Beginnings and Endings sounds absolutely fascinating!

[@OutoftheDoor]

Oh thats so cool! I just got my original harry potter books in the mail last week! Mine aren't in such a good shape as yours but Im so happy with them! Ive been a fan since i was like 6 years old and my sister read the first few books to me (that was about 18 years ago already!) And after that my mom bought the audio books and I listened to those, but I never got to own the physical copies of the books myself and now i do! :D So Yeah I get your excitement!

[@aissataamadou]

Black enough looks so interesting, definitely my kind of read. By the way I love the nail polish.

[@emmmabooks]

thanks love :)

[@haileyfromtheheart]

OMG LOVE LOVE LOVE THE MAKEUP LOOKS AHHH 😍

[@CodiesBookCorner]

City of ghosts is one of my new favourite books! I may be biased though as it’s set where I live in Edinburgh:) she did my city so proud and the descriptions were on point! So happy you finally got your hands on the UK editions of Harry Potter!

[@AshleyBabyMalone]

As I'm from the UK and always got Harry Potter books as they were released my editions that I grew up with are so beaten! (Well, well loved)

[@louisawithana4307]

omg i spent like some ridiculous amount on the first two original artwork hard cover UK editions of the Harry Potter books so i feel you gal, i'm still to get the rest of the series in hard cover and the original artwork so i'm just as much as a dork as you!!

[@DOCTOR102.5]

I’ve been reading renegades and I’m so excited for the sequel

[@ohfortheluvofbooks365]

Hey! Sawkill Girls by Claire Legrand that comes out in October has an Ace main character!!! And it’s done amazingly well!

[@kvinettaf09]

My dream books for me are the Outlander series in the edition that's like from 2005 or something, but at the moment, I'm half way through the series and have a few different editions between books, and it's just so wonderful to have like the most solid and beautiful editions of series that you love!! One day 🙏

[@hayleylouise2155]

I've got the HP Bloomsbury original books, most of which I've had since I was a kid (some I've had to replace due to how damaged they got or losing them when I've moved) and part of me wants to put them in a box and never touch them again because I'm scared of them being damaged and super hard / expensive to get a hold of. I've got quite a few first editions and my best friend has the super duper rare PS book with the other wizard on the back❤

[@isabelcancian4422]

I AM SO READY FOR LADY'S GUIDE!

[@lovisaherou5964]

Currently reading Wildcard. And I love it so far.

[@kennedieburston2065]

Loved this book haul! I too am about to enter graduate school for a professional counseling degree, I’m definitely picking up that 30 second psychology book! Also I don’t think you’re a nerd for wanting those beautiful editions, you actually made me want to start searching for them 😂

[@firelight09]

So glad to find another person who uses Scribd! :)

[@meghaaa]

The dream books are special!! Its my goal to get my hands on those First UK editions of Harry Poter too!! It will happen one day. We are all dorks here 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@dimsummm]

Oh my God! Just hearing you go on about these books makes me so excited and so happy and satisfied all at the same time! I'm very excited about the Lady's guide to Petticoats and Piracy. Also you're not a dork, just seeing you buy the original editions makes me want to buy them too. Ugh... I really want them too now!

[@emmmabooks]

aw you are so sweet!

[@dimsummm]

Oh my God I can't believe you replied! You're amazing! Love you Emma!

[@caitlynschuette7605]

Your makeup looks so pretty 😍😍

[@Its_natalie.kate_here]

I love wintergirls I’ve read it three times. I also NEED city of ghosts

[@cyberpunkist2606]

i just bought renegades because ive seen you talk about it so much!

[@lexlynch56]

I bought a history of notable shadowhunters and denizens of downworld!!!

[@messy678]

Well, if you're a dork, then so am I, because I did the EXACT SAME THING! Only using Thriftbooks instead of Abe, but still. It took me months to finally get a complete set of the UK editions in great condition, but I finally completed my set last year. I am so happy that you got your dream books, Emma, enjoy them! As a side note, I am now working on getting a complete hardcover set of the original UK adult hardbacks- those are hard to find! Well, I can find them, but the price! Sheesh!

[@mishelly]

The books that I am most excited for this month, are the V girl and sweet pea purely because they are the very first ARCs I have received!!! In print 😝

[@justvynexa]

EDIT: I read a lengthy review from Em on Goodreads and Felicity is Ace-Aro. and the reviewer is Asexual as well. I am so excited for The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy! an asexual lady character who is a pirate?! COME ON!! as all your other videos, loved this. makes me want to buy more books though...

[@screamingopossum7809]

Yeah, but what makes the character not interested in her arraged marriage asexual? Just because there is no romance or just because the character hasn't found that person that she likes, what makes the character asexual? Does every book that doesn't have a romance in it make the character asexual or aromantic?

[@justvynexa]

Danielle Homer not necessarily. I stated that the character is asexual because whenever it’s been talked about, Felicity has been said to be asexual. obviously won’t know until the book comes out, so we will see.

[@screamingopossum7809]

We won't know until it's explicitly said. But assuming that just because a character doesn't want to be in their arranged marriage BECAUSE she's asexual is plain wrong. Unless the author says it and it's documented that is was said in the context of "Yes, she's asexual", she's a normal girl in the 1700s that wants to push the social norms of women in the medical sciences. It's historical fiction, and if too many progressive things and put into historical fiction it pushes into a more realm of fantasy. Asexuality wasn't a thing until 2016. Until then it was just "I don't like sex. I'm not going to have sex." without people having a label, because people like that didn't need/want a label until Tumblr took a hold of it.

[@justvynexa]

Danielle Homer point taken. 👌🏽

[@justvynexa]

Danielle Homer took your advice and decided to educate myself. Felicity is ace-aro. the reviewer is Asexual.

[@ashley2532]

Great video. I just saw your vlog and I hope you are still looking at last video’s comments. If you don’t have the time... basically the food in South Hadley across from the college is great and it is pronounced Holy-oak

[@nkfanning]

I’ve been watching your videos for so long I read book titles and authors in your voice when I’m shopping 😂

[@nkfanning]

Sometimes if I’m like hmmm I recognise that authors name where have I heard it before? I read it your voice and I’m like OOOHH emma mentioned it on her channel haha

[@nikoletapanatha]

My book collector's dream is to find a first edition "catcher in the rye" 😍

[@abigaillrodriguez6400]

Early video! Love it. I hope to get City of Ghosts.

[@emmmabooks]

i hope you enjoy it!

[@louisity]

It's cool that you got your dream books! Hurrah! Yay happiness.

[@nymeriastark6116]

Serving some subtle ice princess looks 😉👸

[@kittenlou3742]

great haul i live in the town next to where harry potter was filmed xxx

[@ashleymarie6715]

Ooooo I love that daughter of the burning city cover

[@Celest0701]

I completely understand, its my dream to get the series of unfortunate events series. I grew up with the books and never had enough money to buy it & I know many many people have it already but it’s definitely my dream to own the complete series one day!

[@emmmabooks]

i hope you get them someday!!

[@ajreads7350]

ive collected a lot of them from thrift books! you can get them in good condition for really cheap, id check it out

[@MMaeM265]

Did you get a new camera or something the quality is unreal!!! 😍

[@ringettebabe13]

those aren't just the UK editions of harry potter. We had them in Canadian bookstores until the new covers came out

[@emmmabooks]

oh yes i'm aware they are also the Canadian editions! i'm just referring to the fact that they were first published in the uk with those covers :)

[@Simplybookdreams88]

Jacqueline Kate yes I got the originals too in Canada!!

[@kestrelthesoldier]

We have them in Australia as well I believe :)

[@shaylynmakenzi3355]

I looove UK covers of so many books! Where do you buy your UK covers?

[@kahvikamu]

I have some Harry Potter related book dreams. I have the complete collection in Finnish and I really want a set in English BUT there's so many different editions and new ones are constantly getting released. I decided to collect a mix/match set consisting of the original UK and US editions and some of the newer UK/US editions. It's still a work in progress but one day I'll have all 7.

[@paperbackkiwi]

i'm slowly trying to get new copies of all the UK original editions of the Harry Potter books in hardback, seeing as all of mine (apart from the Half Blood Prince) are either paperback, or not in the best condition as i've had them for years. luckily there's so many secondhand stores near me so i can keep an eye out for any there. my dream books though, are really just as many different editions of J.R.R. Tolkien's books as i can find (with certain editions that i want more than others). then another is really just to finally own each of the Warriors books by Erin Hunter in hardback until they become even harder to find, luckily i'm almost there though, only like 14 more to go (which seems like a lot, but considering how big the series is....)!

[@pixelkittycrafter125]

I read Warriors too!!!😊🐈

[@lindaklinedinst9236]

You got alot of good books the way it looks....I have some of these on my Wish List as well. Enjoy your Books....Happy Reading :)

[@emmmabooks]

you too!! :)

[@KierTheScrivener]

I totally understand how important editions and versions can be even if they are really popular!

[@mindfulbynicole]

Holding up those editions of the Harry Potter books, holding up my childhood right there. Maybe it's just an attachment thing as they're the editions I've read growing up, but I love those ones ❤️ I never had the adult version covers though, wow I'd completely forgotten about their existence! I recently bought City of Ghosts myself, can't wait to read it! They Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy I have pre-ordered, can't wait!

[@strawberrydolls]

I love the original versions of the Harry Potter books! Thankfully I live in the U.K. So all I had to do was keep an eye out in charity shops

[@kaleishwari1]

I love the way you sound!😍 It's relaxing to hear and watch your videos!😍

[@emmmabooks]

aw thanks so much!!
