In Memory Of Alice

As you know my lovely friend Alice passed away recently and I’m heartbroken. This video is where I share my happy memories, books ahead recommended and cry a lot. I’m sorry for being a mess. My thoughts go out to Alice family at this horrible time. I would love to hear your happy memories of Alice and books she got you to read.
Her channel is still up so go and take a look at how amazing she is and get more recommendations.

Emily darling,Alice would be SO proud of you and so touched by this lovely tribute. You are so brave to speak from the heart so eloquently and honestly. You are so right in how you describe her - kind,caring,thoughtful and funny. She loved you all so much and knew she was blessed to have found such amazing friends who loved books just as much as she did and wanted to talk about them all the time. As you say,it didn't matter if you had different tastes - or liked different colour books! - she just wanted to spend time with people who were passionate about reading. I love this video and your photos, thanks so much. I'm crying but I'm happy too and I'm sure that's how she would want us to be. Jane - Alice's broken hearted mum😻💔😿

[@novellenovels]

Alice was one in a million. I’m sorry for making you cry. She always talked about you and we all adore you in our group. I’m so grateful to have had her friendship 💔💔

Thank you ☺️

I have just discovered your channel after looking up specifically for charity shop book hauls and noticed that you were wearing black. Curiosity got me to check Alice's channel. My condolonces, she seemed to be such a sweet bookish lady and i'm sure she will be terribly missed. Don't know if she had children or if all family members were aware of her channel, but in time, it could be of such great help in keeping her memory and spirit alive.

[@novellenovels]

She was incredible

A very touching tribute. Alice will be missed by all on Booktube.

[@novellenovels]

Thank you and I miss her so much 😢

[@TiffWaffles]

We've lost quite a few booktubers within 2024 that I know about and it's always so sad because you feel like you've connected with them enough to know who they are as people. This is so heartbreaking. I can't believe that we've now lost Alice. I've been watching her videos for only a short time and I really loved her content. I can't even imagine how her family and friends must be feeling at this time. Also, this was a lovely tribute. You've suffered through such a huge blow of losing a friend that was dear to you. I think that you being an emotional mess is to be expected during this time. Alice sounded like such a remarkable human being and it's such a tragedy that such a lovely person was taken from her loved ones and from those who she loved and cared for.

[@novellenovels]

It’s been so unfair 😢😢 She was so amazing and I was so blessed to call her my friend 💔💔

[@CharlieBrookReads]

Her gifts were the most thoughtful I agree. She loved finding the perfect pressie. PINK BOOKS!! Alice would say it to tease you and the rest of us would pile on in solidarity. Miss our Alice so much 💔 Wonderful tribute Em, you definitely did her proud. It wasn’t last year we met her for the first time it was the year before or the one before that. My brain is jumbly.

[@novellenovels]

I’m so glad you liked this and I miss her so much 💔💔💔

[@anitahayne8621]

You all seemed like sisters. I enjoyed watching you ladies cover the Women’s Prize and your bookshop crawls. I am so very sorry for the pain you are experiencing: this unbelievable grief. My heart hurts for her family and also for her BookTube family. 📚🥲💔

[@novellenovels]

It hurts more than I could have imagined. Our group is a family and it’s now missing a member 😢💔

[@BooksAtMidnight]

I’ve been away from booktube for a bit, but I follow you all, so it’s sad to find this news. I’m never good with properly expressing myself, but my condolences to you and to her family. I’m very sorry for the loss of your friend. 🌷

[@novellenovels]

Thank you 💔😢

[@melissahouse1296]

My heart goes out to all of you Emily 💔As an outsider it was glaringly clear that your little unit/ corner of bt was jam packed full of love 💖 it really shone through & brightened up all of b'tube. So sorry for your loss Alice was a sweetheart ❤‍🩹🤝🌺

We are so close and I miss her so much 💔😢

[@susanpuckett4521]

I am just now hearing about Alice's passing and I am shocked and heartbroken! I just can't believe it! She is so young and vibrant! Thank you for sharing this and for being so open about your grief and for also sharing your friendship with Alice with all of us. What a blessing to have a friend like Alice! I only "knew" Alice from her videos but felt like I really knew her and like we had been real friends forever! I looked forward to her videos all the time. She always made me smile and "made" me add so many books to my own giant bookshelf! My heart goes out to Alice's family and friends and I'm sending up a special prayer for you while you navigate the many emotions that come with losing a very dear friend. Peace to you. Thank you for such a beautiful, loving tribute to Alice.

[@novellenovels]

Thank you so much and we are all heartbroken 💔😢

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

My heart breaks for you, Emily, and for the rest of your wonderful group. I loved seeing the pictures of all of you when you met up for book shopping earlier. So much joy! I will pray that you are eventually comforted by your memories. Thank you for sharing so much of your beautiful friendship with us here. Please take care, Emily.

[@novellenovels]

Thank you so much it’s been so hard 😢💔

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

@@novellenovels I know you are suffering terribly, and I’m so sorry. It’s just heartbreaking. You were very dear friends, and you had such a special connection. There’s no making sense of this, and it’s very hard even to believe that this is real. I’m so sorry…💔

[@maureen4669]

Thank you, Emily, for sharing your memories of the lovely Alice with us. I can't believe that she has passed. She was always so lively and enthusiastic in her videos. My sincere condolences to you and her family who must be devastated.

My heart goes out to you, sweet Emily and to everyone in your group. ❤ I loved hearing Alice talk about Agatha Christie, she was a wealth of knowledge and she will be missed. This was a beautiful tribute to your amazing friend. You are all in my prayers.

Emily, this made me cry and giggle. We miss our Alice so much, but she will live on. We will continue to tease you about the “Emily Calendar” we will point out all those pink books, regardless of what colour you try to say they are. I can’t even remember how we all came together, it just feels like we have been friends forever. I miss her so much. 💔

I'm watching Alice's latest video over and over again, because I still can't believe that she is gone.😢 We had just planned our first ever buddy read and because we both wanted to read from our own shelves, she went the extra mile and added all her unread books to StoryGraph, so that we were able to compare and find a book we both own. She was just so lovely. Thanks for sharing all these wonderful memories. I am so sorry for your loss. 💔

[@novellenovels]

I can’t watch them yet. She was so lovely and I miss her so much 😢💔

You are so brave, thank you for this lovely tribute to Alice and your friendship with her. I have been thinking of her ever since I heard the news last week.

[@btwilks]

Oh Emily, I've seen quite a few of your videos that you've made in very hard and trying circumstances, and it's clear that this must have been one of the very hardest for you to do. Can I just say that I think you did Alice proud with such an emotional and heartfelt tribute to her and to the deep impact that she had on you and the other members of your special group. The love that you all had for her and that she had for each and every one of you is so clear and i just hope that the fond memories you all have of her will be a blessing and a comfort. Take care and kind regards, Brian.
