[@emmanovella]

After FINALLY reading Les Misérables by Victor Hugo, I no longer allow myself to be intimidated by books based on their size - they definitely can be daunting but I'm like "NO. YOU READ LES MIS. YOU CAN READ THIS" hahah

[@hbarekst]

I understand that. Les Misérables is huge.

[@KeriJo12]

OMG I tried the audio book. About two hours of backstory for the man Valjean steals the candlesticks from, the one who convinces him to turn his life around. Yikes! It's like 2 minutes in the musical. Haha! I think I stopped shortly after Fantine dies and Valjean takes Cosette away. Go you!

[@hbarekst]

KeriJo12 I have the book, but I have not read it. It’s because the book is so huge. I’m so scared to read it

[@dompishere3014]

Omg yes!!! I read Les Mis too and I feel the same way by intimidation now haha

[@emmanovella]

Hahah thanks everyone! I highly recommend getting a good translation to read (I read Norman Denny) but it's definitely worth it if you can get past the first... oh I don't know, 500 pages hahah!

[@Weihnachtsgans1]

I recently read The Count of Monte Christo (1500 pages) and it was sooo good and rewarding after I finished it! 🤓

[@kimlake8838]

Louser 1 That is my intimidating book lol. I have it and I really want to read it. I’ve heard such amazing things.

[@Weihnachtsgans1]

Kim Lake do it 😊! It actually did‘t take me that long (about 2 weeks).

[@smartlikewoah]

Is it really though? I'm literally so terrified of classic books, especially big ones lol. Maybe I'll check it out.

[@3dotmatrix]

Louser 1 yaaasss that's like my favourite book everrr! (I get excited whenever I hear someone's read it 🙈😊)

[@1990Dagmara]

One of the best books that I've ever read😍😍😍

[@sadiarumin]

yay for the poop shirt!!! ❤ 💩

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

What are some INTIMIDATING books from your TBR pile?? :D

[@ysabellelaxamana]

The most intimidating book on my TBR Pile is It by Stephen King and Gemina by Amy Kaufman and Jay Kristoff...I'm so scared to read them!

[@goticrose]

Definitely It by Stephen King and Sleeping beauties by Stephen King and Owen King

[@sydneyellison1655]

The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

[@Problemkrabbe]

His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman, because I have the over-1000-pages-edition with all 3 books in it and Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King. I love Stephen King and I'm dying to read this one but it's just so huuge.

[@POlivares23]

BookswithEmilyFox The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton. I’ve heard mixed reviews but the premise is intriguing so I bought it. It’s been on my bookshelf for over a year because it’s so long and sounds very intricate.

[@ile19r94]

Hi Emily! I'm currently reading The Inheritance Trilogy, and oh man, it's long! It's not The Fifth Season for sure, and I'm really enjoying it, but I've been reading it for at least 2 months and I'm starting the third book. Also, a side note I loved The Fifth Season. I recommend you start with The Inheritance Trilogy; you'll be disappointed if you do it the other way around. Her writing has improved much since she wrote The Inheritance Trilogy and you can really tell.

[@elysia7894]

I get the notifications for your uploads on a night out (from the UK so weird times) and genuinely look forward to going home so I can watch it lol. Fav booktuber, love that you're uploading so much lately ! X

[@knittygirlone3391]

I like how you put the books behind you on the bookshelf when you are done. It makes it easier to look at what you've been talking about!

[@veronavillesim]

i think you're actually gonna love crooked kingdom way more, because things get very interesting and even more engaging

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

That's what I've heard! I just need to finally read it but... yeah I'm intimidated 😂

[@veronavillesim]

good luck! hopefully you really do love it, because i feel like the end was very satisfying

[@nadak7826]

Intimidating books? The song of ice and fire series for sure, but it’s definitely worth it

[@mlagv4045]

Nadá K YESSSSSS

[@Ari-tb2is]

I also have Love and Peace on my TBR and it is soooooo intimidating! I will try to read it in summer. I also have to read This Savage Song and I heard so many good things about it. One of my goals is to read the 6th book in the Mortal Instruments series but I hated the rest of them so I'm really not in the mood. I read Golden Son and really liked it, so I hope you'll enjoy it too. Anyway, I hope you will manage to read all of your TBR books. Good luck 🌸

[@JemimaRose]

the light between oceans is actually so good! 10/10 recommend

[@Amanda-dn4ld]

Started the Handmaid's Tale last night. I haven't read any "classics" in ages but I was in a serious reading slump and it reads really fast which has been great!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I was the same with This Savage Song! I read it last month ITS SO GOOD

[@Schizoid137]

This savage song has been sitting on my shelf for a while as well

[@damdaddy]

You probably hear this all the time... Updated bookshelf tour!!!!! I love watching them

[@HOA1Vic1MBAV1fan]

I would highly recommend reading the infernal devices. Out of all of Cassie's books this series is still the best to me😇

[@alaishafri]

blessed with frequent videos!

[@kimmijane5187]

I'm also trying to read more big books this year. I always tend to love the bigger books I read but they are so intimidating! What if you spend all that time reading it and then don't like it! Also they usually have a lot of hype which maked them even more terrifying. Plus I know it means I probably won't get round to reading as many of the smaller books that I am equally excited about. Plus it feels great when you read lots in a month. 💪🏻 Went out and bought The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle yesterday after you raved about it. It's not usually a premise I'd gravitate towards but I bit the bullet. You convinced me. Planning on getting to it this week. I hope I love it as much as you did 🤞

[@SarahEsmaeWolfe]

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on All The Beautiful Lies. I have... opinions about it.

[@benwilson7870]

Just finished Crooked Kingdom and man it was good!

[@beepboop9976]

I wanted to watch altered carbon when it came out as a series on Netflix, but now I’m not sure. I’m glad you did this tag. I feel better knowing that a popular booktuber hasn’t read allllll of the popular books, and even doesn’t like some of them and I’m not alone with my opinions

[@zoeallen4129]

I've had 'A little life' on my shelf for over a year and I've still not picked it up yet, so I feel you xD

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I want to get (and read!) this book but I've been told so many times I'll cry and that it will break my heart.... so I'm waiting :P

[@sarahpslytherin3315]

Try This Savage Song on audio! The narrator is my new favorite because of the duology. Our Dark Duet is probably my favorite book this year. I read it in January and I'm still getting over that ending!

[@WayOverBooked]

I love big books. 💗💗

[@Yvette.T]

Haven't finished the video yet but I'm loving how sassy you are in this one 💪 😙

[@Jamhands9]

I’ve been audiobooking War and Peace for ages. It definitely drags. I enjoyed The Light Between Oceans, but could not finish the movie.

[@redbluemoon4169]

Oh my, I'm also super intimidated by War & Peace!! I put it in my TBR for this year, in my 12 books to read. I try to read one of the biggest books in my TBR each year; in 2017, it was Les Misérables by Victor Hugo (such a great book, worth the time spent on it really!) After reading this chunk, I try to convince myself I can read anything but, well, I'm still scared x)

[@bibandbook844]

Oh, I loved these questions and your answers! I totally share your opinion that big books are super intimidating. I still haven't read Lord of the Rings because of that. I have a version that has all three books in one volume and it's just so huge! This seems like a lot of fun, I may do this tag as well. : )

[@catsbiie6691]

I really enjoyed This Savage Song!

[@The_Boho_Bardot]

I think you will love The Husband’s Secret Em. It’s the first one I read by Liane Moriarty. It’s really good. Especially if you want a book similar to big little lies.

[@patricijabiskup948]

I'm scared of reading high adult fantasy and sci fi since they seek a lot of concentration and devotion. But soon I hope I'll get to them 😀😀

[@marktracy1721]

Good for you Good luck on yor adventure

[@josefinajuarez2110]

Happy Sunday 😊

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Happy Sunday!!

[@ingridboni]

I love your ear rings, where do you get it?

[@MegBookishRamblings]

I can so relate to having lots of books to be read. I love big books especially if the story is one that I can really get into but I'm also intimidated because they can take so long to get through and I have hundreds of books I own that need my attention. Some big books on my TBR include Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell, the last two books of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander Series, Pillars of the Earth, Malzan Series by Steven Erikson (my boyfriend enjoyed the series so much he bought me the first four books as a birthday present, The Legend of Drizzt Book 1 that has three books in one by R.A. Salvatore, The Dragonlance Chronicles which includes three books in one by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, Victoria The Queen by Julia Baird,, Eon by Alison Goodman, The Aeronaut's Windlass by Jim Butcher, The Complete Arrows Trology by Mercedes Lacky, The Mists of Avalon series by Marion Zimmer Bradley (read about half of them by the time I was in high school and loved them but it's been so long that it will be pretty much like to reading them for the first time), The Princes of Ireland by Edward Rutherfurd, Catherine The Great by Robert K. Massie and Kate Morton's books. There's probably more hiding in the back of my shelves lol.

[@leap-of-faith]

OMG I haven’t read the third book in the clockwork series either and it’s been years since I read the first two books!! 😂 also the books you listed from your library, are you waiting for audiobooks or physical copies? I want to listen to more audiobooks but I always find myself struggling to focus when I listen!

[@sk8tie]

Ive been reading cassandra clares books for the first time this summer as a 21 year old. I do think the infernal devices is better inits cool steampunk-feel victorian setting and the villain is more interesting, but it has a love triangle which killed possibilities of a high rating for me. For me the big intimidating book is house of leaves. My boyfriend loved it and I know I'll find it fascinating but i mean, come on. It'll take me a month or more to read.

[@liligirladorno]

This Savage Song is a super quick read and I loved it! I agree that Six of Crows was overhyped but I just began Crooked Kingdom and it is much better plus it has loads of funny dialogue.

[@2341vivian]

You should read Crooked Kingdom...it was my favourite fantasy book of late year!

[@bookywooky89]

I didn't like the Mortal Instrument series and I couldn't make it through Lady Midnight but The Infernal Devices trilogy is still one of my favorite trilogies/series.

[@lenamontgomery2542]

The Emperor of all Maladies is a difficult read. I'm in the medical profession and it was pretty dry. The entire beginning is mostly focused on breast cancer and the horrible shit that used to be done for treatment... Thank God for medical advances. I know that you like science, but I'm not sure you'll like this. Love your channel and your frank honesty!!

[@RachelRamirezCaroline]

I recently finished Anna Karenina and feel so proud of myself as it’s a huge book. I’m hoping to use this as inspiration to read “Swan Song” and “The Brothers Karamanov,” which are also huge books. The books I’m the MOST intimated by has to be any George R. R. Martin books. I swear I get palpitations when I think of reading his series.

[@imperatrice211]

I've been intimidated by Infinite Jest and The Stand for years x)

[@reemhamdy1516]

I love your t-shirt😂❤❤

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Thank you! It's the best when you're having a shitty day :P

[@debasmitak3679]

Hi Emily :) I hated The Mortal Instruments,but did like the Infernal Devices a lot...its better than TMI for sure

[@legendaryreader39]

I am working on The Inheritance Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin right now. I'm about halfway through the first book.

[@WitchKittenReads]

I've been meaning to read This Savage Song for so long too! I don't know why haha. I have Truthwitch and Windwitch on my shelf for months as well. Gah!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I think the main reason I haven't picked up Windwitch is because everyone was saying how there was no romance in Truthwitch and there is.... I was like "are you serious?!" lol

[@manulapin6606]

Omg where did you get your tshirt! I'm from Montréal too! Love your vidéos 😊

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I'm not from Montreal but I bought it from Forever 21 but it was 2 years ago!

[@nadaali1900]

I hated the first two books of the mortal instruments so i went straight to the infernal devices and i really loved them

[@natcommon]

I can’t remember if you hauled this book or not, but you should pick up and read Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrel by Susanna Clark. Even though I’m not that far into it, I am enjoying it. I have been warned that there is a slow bit but it builds up what happens at the end. Oh and it’s an 800 page book.

[@CookieR1272]

Emperor of all Maladies is amazing, do it!

[@StoneBubbles]

I really want to hear your thoughts on all the beautiful lies, I wasn’t too sure how I felt about it

[@hannamuriel6557]

I think you should start with N.K. Jemisin's Broken Earth Series. Especially the first book in the Inheritance Trilogy is very heavy on the romance. I love both series but The Fifth Season far surpasses the older and I think you would enjoy it much more.

[@des7604]

for me, an intimidating book is lord of the rings, it has been sitting on my shelves for almost five years now and I still haven't read it! It's just that it's so huge and one time I tried to read it but I was kinda confused. that was years ago though so I hope that I will enjoy it more now that I'm older and I've read more fantasy books than before. also, I personally loved the infernal devices more than the mortal instruments series, I think the characters are better and the overall vibe of the story is so mysterious and interesting

[@jenniferpeterson530]

War and peace, scares me so much! 😳 I want to read it and love it, but wow what a commitment lol. I’m also intimidated by The lightbringer series (I think that’s what it’s called) by Brent Weeks. Partly because of reviews I have seen for it and partly because every book is HUGE! It’s been on my TBR for awhile. I did read the first book in the Night Angle series by him and while I did see some issues with it overall I enjoyed most of it. I found it a little hard to follow at times because it skipped large chunks of time here and there and some of the characters were difficult for me to keep separate in my head (if that makes sense).

[@Juli6SS]

I've read Mistborn few years ago and I loved it, but I'm so intimidated by last two books. I started to read the second one but it was too politically heavy for my taste and I stopped. I know that this trilogy is amazing and I want to finish it, but.. Yeah, feeling intimidated is a good description.

[@hannahtell5705]

I watch your videos because I love your voice. My taste isn’t the same as yours but I just like how you say dah instead of the 🥰

[@CaroliinaJasmin]

Leah on the Offbeat is the sequel to Simon Vs., it's just from Leah's perspective. :D

[@georgesamuels7978]

I would recommend reading (listening) to the rest of the mortal instruments. I like the world and the premise of the books but it was hard for me to read it so I'm listening to the audio books which is a lot better for me

[@LucasVerbunt]

Crooked Kingdom is better than Six of Crows!! I think you’ll like it, honestly

[@joycerollins5651]

Oh my goodness you absolutely need to read Golden Son by Pierce Brown!! Truly a great book!!

[@DeborahSutherlandDebinPei]

1Q84 I bought it over a year ago, pick it up read a bit and so on, all. I hear a great things but for some reason it yet speaks to me so there it sits in my Kindle, someday lol ✌🏻

[@JulEnglefaris]

I love all of Cassandra Clare's book but I can't get into the internal devices! I didn't like the first and never finished that series.

[@kyashikawaii]

I read the wayward trilogy love it 5 stars. I also, enjoy dark matter 4 starts. The only other book That i have read form Blake crouch is Abandon and I enjoy it gave it 4 starts. I will recommend it even tho I don’t have the sci-fi aspect the other novels do. I’m also scared to pick up His other books because you didn’t like him and we have the same reading taste! So i think I will only pick his new releases from now on.

[@anygivenmemory]

The Infernal Devices is better than The Mortal Instruments! Also, I just finished the 4th of The Mortal Instruments and it's better than the first couple books too (I'm reading them in publication order). I'd say give it a try and see if you like it.

[@caseyc2497]

Leah on The Offbeat is related to Simon vs... it's a continuation in the universe and Simon and co will feature. its just the second book in the series

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

You're right I realized it only after posting :S On the bright side... even more excited about it now :D

[@lynxlou]

The pages are really thin and there are way too many. Made me laugh so hard

[@aneweliseonlife]

I wonder if reading War and Peace would be easier in French? There were so many french words in it - I have been avoiding Brandon Sanderson's Words of Radiance or something series cuz every book is a beast.

[@Curiousgeorgie19]

For one book I am intimidated by Anna Karenina by Tolstoy I’ve had it forever and want read it but it is so large and I never feel in the mood to read it. As for my other intimidation I want to read every Stephen king novel and I’ve been slowly going through but man there are some not so good ones in the mix and it is making me a little discouraged

[@Senidhr]

In the regard i'm a bit weird. Usually i go for the big books and read small ones from time to time. Maybe that's why i don't read much books

[@RedtsunamiTed]

I'm really glad I read most of the classic sci-fi, especially the war hard sci-fi when I was a teenager, because I didn't notice a lot of the horrible misogyny. I'm not ever going to read any of it again. But I will say I still consider Phillip K. Dick to be one of my favorite authors. Even though he had no idea how to end any of his books. :)

[@epifaniaritagallina8591]

Need that shirt !!!

[@Jenbebookish]

Emily have you read Dune?

[@smartlikewoah]

Your thoughts on Six of Crows breaks my heart. It truly does 😂 Jk. But I actually think I like Crooked Kingdom more. I found it a bit more....I guess I'd say engaging. Or even more enjoyable 🤔

[@Mina-bw6lx]

Golden Son is so much better than Red Rising and the third book is even better in my opinion. The first one was kind of meh for me too, but the rest of the series is filled with political intrigue and war and it's just so good.

[@rs.rc1679]

Emily, have you ever read A Song of Ice and Fire series ? If you haven't, you should try, I'd really like to know your opinion on it :D

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I read the first book and 3/4 of the second one... I just prefer the show!

[@veronikat6996]

The thing about the books is that they become veeerry different from the show after like book 2 and feature so many great characters the show just doesn't get around to. The show cuts out some awesome characters, and in my opinion is far more gratuitous with the rapes.

[@serenadarking6301]

Honestly I believe the books are better than the show because things are explained so much better. Like I actually understood why the Nights Watch went beyond the wall when I read the books 😂😂😂

[@smartlikewoah]

I wanted to read it but I can't read high fantasy. I get so bored and have to force myself to continue. Like the mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson. Everyone loves it but I couldn't stand the 1st book. It's way too high fantasy for me 😢

[@liligirladorno]

The most intimidating books I want to read this year are from the Outlander and Game of Thrones series.

[@thebookwalker4428]

GIRL READ GOLDEN SON IS THE BEST OF THE SERIES, and i read The fifth season and i was so disapointed bc it was so slowwww

[@juliaschweiger6961]

The Passenger Trilogy scares the crap out of me, it‘s huge and everybody seems to love it and I‘m really scared I might dislike it... Also I have a nonfiction about Russian history which has over 1000 pages and I‘m currently reading it bit by bit and even while being in the process of reading it, it still feels huge

[@lari_27]

I liked It. Hi from Brazil 😉

[@AKookieForYou]

I got Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson because of Emily's suggestion, but it terrifies me. I haven't read much sci fi, and it's a big book to commit to read.

[@josefinajuarez2110]

If you decide to read The Blinding Knife I can’t wait to see your review on it with your arsenal of post-it’s 😂

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I already know it's going to be a shit show 😂

[@josefinajuarez2110]

BookswithEmilyFox I’m here for it lol

[@2341vivian]

Hello from Edmonton!

[@seaoftigers]

You should try midnight children by Salman Rushdie

[@logann-mackenziefroste563]

I also have not read the The mortal instruments and the infernal devices and I kind of want to read them but I also do not want to read them. So far the only books that I want want to read and actually own are the Rick Riordan books

[@oceanedmrtn6021]

I just started Red Rising, I'm not that far but for the moment it's just okay... I hope I'll love it, because one of my friends just loved it SO MUCH I'm so scared I won't xD

[@bubblega1axy]

Twenty Yon Océane I'm almost finished with it and I don't know. It hasn't made me feel much, I'm not connecting with Darrow. The story is entertaining enough to finish but I'm questioning continuing the series. According to boyfriend, the second book does get better. I just hope he's not setting me up for more disappointment. :p

[@musiclistner94]

I stopped reading a lot of older sci-fi because I got so tired of the sexism, and I HATE when people are like "oh but it was a different time" and all those excuses, I don't care what time it was written, it still makes me uncomfortable/angry reading it!!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

The best part is when you mentioned that plenty of other books written during the same time weren't sexist or at least not nearly as bad. It's too easy to use these excuses :/ Just because it's been considered a classic doesn't mean it still should be... sure some books show how it used to be... but to often it's gratuitous!

[@musiclistner94]

Nah, I wouldn't call it limiting myself when I have read plenty of it in the last 10 years. Ive come to the conclusion that I don't like books that are sexists for no good reason, so I would rather pick up a book I know I will enjoy. Like Emily says in the comment above there are plenty of books that are considered classics that aren't sexists, so I would rather spend my time on them :) That would be my friendly advice, if you dont like the book, put it down and pick up another

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Being bothered by sexism is anything but a petty thing. It also has nothing to do with "needing ticker skin"!

[@pachamaridamofasat7803]

Sexism is part of society...

[@emmavanweert1013]

I know you've probably heard it a million times, but if you want to read something by Cassandra Clare read the Infernal devices. Just skip the other Mortal instruments novels, ignore them. And start the infernal devices, they're way more fun. Mostly because Victorian London, but the characters are a lot more fun as well.

[@nicoleyvonne2446]

I’m totally intimidated by the second and the third book of peter v. Brett‘s demon cycle. The German versions have 1000 pages each. I loved the first one, but I know it will take a while to read no. 2 and 3.

[@aoi6075]

Nicole Yvonne hi, I just wanted to note that it just looks intimidating because in original version it has just +200 pages and believe me it is not enough, more so if you are short on sequals :)

[@63Bmth]

Val B. No? The second book has almost 600 pages in english.

[@czai_]

I'm really intimidated with House of Leaves. It's big and heavy and it's got those odd writing format...

[@MrChris3611]

Altered Carbon is on Netflix

[@MissKylie07]

I didn’t really love This Savage Song! :( I was disappointed, especially since I loved A Darker Shade of Magic. I also need to read the 3rd Mortal Instruments book and I’m not really in a hurry to get to it over my other options..

[@jodiesimpson3624]

MissKylie07 the 3rd book is my absolute favourite in that series! The world building is so captivating! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when you finally get to it x

[@Emmareads15]

My library charges quite a lot to reserve books, it would be cheaper for me to just buy them secondhand. It's such a shame as they have a good list of new books, but they're all out and there's a wait list.

[@Alkeran12]

The husband's secret is actually set in Australia's fall time so I'm not sure about the summer mood, but I thought it was good. I really enjoyed The last anniversary, which seems to be her less popular book. XD

[@SunnyBurnsAll]

The Luminaries, Jerusalem by Simon Sebag, the rise and fall of the Egyptian empire, Brothers Karamazov, My name is Red, ugh ..... The list is so long. I'm currently just reading fantasy fic so I can get back into reading. I read the first two from the Storm light Archive and I'm now a Sanderson fan. I literally read with bated breath a scene in The Way of Kings where I thought there would be a gratuitous description of the female body.......and it never came. I was pleasantly shocked.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Whenever guys argue with me that sexism is simply part of fantasy/sci fi and that's what every popular author does... Sanderson comes to the rescue! His books simply aren't full of sex and sexism and he has no issues selling them!

[@serenadarking6301]

Crooked Kingdom is much better than Six of Crows. There's a lot more action and character exploration! Also I think you'll really love Sometimes I lie; it's full of twists and turns

[@gracer.8931]

War & Peace isn't so bad -- it only took me 4 months to read :P

[@ashleighpratt7290]

Didn’t enjoy the Infernal Devices tbh. Do want to try it again however.

[@aoi6075]

I've tried reading war and peace for the longest time... Like since my high school teacher had a saga-like review on it but I cannot move in book if I cannot understand some of its parts and as we know nobility had a pretty annoying habbit of speaking french and I do not get it. I did not find any version fully translated so not a thing for me.. But surely you will enjoy this part :)

[@logann-mackenziefroste563]

I also can’t get myself to read the mistborn trilogy.

[@inlinesk8rchick]

Okay so I bought the red rising trilogy because of the hype, first one was good, I enjoyed it, second was meh, and third I can’t get through because it’s so predictable. Thinking about DNFing but I’m taking a break for now and then come back to it maybe 😣
