So professional the way you hold the book covers up throughout the entire video. The viewer can easily skim and see what you have to share!

[@dinorahgonzalez236]

If you end up enjoying Anne of Green Gables I would 100% recommend you to watch the tv show which is called Anne with an E!! It's probably the most beautiful show I've ever watched in both the story as well as the visuals, the cinematography and landscape's are just breathtaking. Really hope you will give it a try and maybe talk about it in a blog or something someday:)

[@legumesss]

Yeeesss it's so good!

[@thesicaeffect5164]

love awae and amybeth!!!

[@BelieverJustin]

Yesss I love Anne with an e❤️

[@blessedtobealive]

Has anyone seen the original movies?

[@julialumina1615]

YES YES YES YES!

[@Nixx0912]

Well I grew up with a different redhead then Anne, more anarchistic one. Pippi Langstrumpf. Best children's book ever.

[@corinadelbarro2110]

I watched the children’s show as a kid and lowkey thought it was a fever dream of mine until I found the book! So so cute ❤️🥰

[@seaoftigers]

Emily: Tell me if you have read any of the book. Me: (see the my shelf) (Sees So many unfinished books.) Me: no.(anxiously) Still me: When is Emily going to upload recommendation video?

[@elizalagonia1049]

How to Make Friends and Influence People changed my Dad's life. He read it back in the mid-'80s and at the time he was working menial jobs, not being considered for promotions and he just felt stuck. A friend suggested it and after reading it gave him a lot of insight. He always says this example he was working as the low man on a team of aviation mechanics and he kept his head down and did his job. After he read the book he obviously still did his job but the way he walked around the hanger and how he held himself was different. He held his head up, he didn't hunch over, he walked with purpose. He said after he started doing that people saw him differently having more confidence. He always suggests it to anyone starting out going into college or starting a path. Anne of Green Gables you have to slog through the first half. It's a good start and gives a great introduction to Anne, but it's hard at the beginning. My favorite in the series is Anne of the Island. It's a movie, a mini-series, and has had a couple of T.V shows. The Secret Garden has kind of the opposite problem, the last three chapters are a bit of a slog for me. They make this book into a movie once about every 20 or 30 years.

[@kwiyopta2024]

Emily, do you use a planner? With all your books to be read, job,youtube, self care and social life,how do you manage your time?

[@whatkaylasays]

The audiobook for Anne Frank’s diary is amazing. I HIGHLY recommend it even though you bought a physical copy. Selma Blair did the narration and did an incredible job imo!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Oh I might listen to it while reading it! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@CarinaSchrijft]

I didn't even know there was an audiobook. Nice. I have only read it in Dutch but definitely going to give this a try as well

[@whatkaylasays]

Carina it’s fantastic! Hope you enjoy it :)

[@dawnhermann3352]

Anne Frank is the book that got me really into reading memoirs and anything written in diary format. Yes it is sad but it is not dull like one might think of a wartime book....she was an incredible young woman

[@nistha9953]

Anne frank dairy is amazing n its dat kinda book i will rec everyone

[@stuffcelinedoes]

I'm on a book buying ban so thank you for this book haul, I'm living through you right about now 😆

[@froncifresh]

Ohhh i should be on one lol how do you find the strength! What do you even read 😭

[@domd4350]

Me too I’m moving cross country later this year and I already have 200+ books to move. So no more lol. Strictly reading current books, audible and ebooks lol

[@stuffcelinedoes]

@@froncifresh Fortunately (or not) I already have over 70 books to read so I'm trying really hard not to buy any more until I downsize it by at least half haha !

[@stuffcelinedoes]

@@domd4350 Same ! I'm suppose to move next month and I have no idea how I'm gonna do that with all of my books 😆

[@christinebihasa6863]

Same here though i just splurged and bought 3 classics again making my tbr a total of 19 books oof hope i can go through them all before i go back home this year

[@thebumblingbooknerd3747]

I also shopped that sale! And got... 20 books. I have no self control. Shelf control? Whatever. But I got Wicked Saints too! I’m unsure about it but... omg that spine! I also picked up Sorcery of Thorns and Space Opera . I guess we know why you’re my favorite booktuber! Also, This is How You Lose the Time War is amazing! I can’t wait for you to read it!

[@purplepothos5794]

3:49 I'll judge you! And my judgement, as someone who unabashedly has no shame in owning 5 (soon 6) editions of one book, is that it's actually pretty awesome if someone owns more than one edition of a book they love! Especially if it's a pretty edition; one those simple pleasures in life that make it worth living after all.

[@TBCaine]

YES to good spines! We need more good spines for books! Also: I really want connecting spines to be more popular! The Shadowhunter Chronicles by Cassandra Clare in paperback have connecting spines and they look so beautiful

[@gorfdaeD]

Damn girl, your bangs look great 😀

[@patrochilles6275]

Em ''our dark duet' is 2nd book in the duology. This 1st one is 'this savage song'

[@MusingsofaCat10]

Sorcery of Thorns was one of the best books I read last year, I hope you enjoy it!

[@katelinatwitchvods]

Hi Emily! I also shopped at book outlet after Christmas and I ordered 17 books and just received them yesterday😁

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

They must have been so busy during that sale haha We all went crazy!

[@bookcatcher4561]

I still need to read Skyward, I bought it two months after it was relesead, but first I want to read Mistborn trilogy. This Savage song and Our Dark duet are amazing! First book is slow and character driven, and the second is full of action, you need to read them anytime soon.

[@legumesss]

The Mistborn trilogy is amazing! I also haven't read Skyward although it's on my shelf

[@mikaelab7485]

You’re the first Canadian booktuber I’ve watched who hasn’t read Anne of Green Gables!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Idk if it's because I'm French Canadian? We never talked about it in school so that might be why!

[@rs.rc1679]

Haven’t watched the video yet but the thumbnail got me jealous of you already 😲😆

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

It's been a while since I had a big haul like this!!

[@rs.rc1679]

BookswithEmilyFox It’s been a while since I’ve been straight up this jealous too hahaha

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

😂❤️

[@moonmagister]

I really enjoyed Wicked Saints and Sorcery of Thorns. Wicked Saints is villain romance and if very character rather than plot driven. Sorcery of Thorns has a simple plot but is actually really enjoyable and I don’t think the romance was too much at all. It’s also about a library of sentient books as opposed to fairies as well!

[@TayLaneBloom]

I finished The Toll this morning, and I've never been so disappointed in a final book like i am with this one. I loved this series so much, Schyte was one of the best books I read in 2019, and I couldn't wait to pick up The Toll after that huge cliffhanger in Thunderhead. I was let down in way I can't even describe. Horrible ending. Can't you to see what you think about it though... And I'm sure you will like Our Dark Duet. It's very intense and an amazing story, really. My favorite duology.

[@josesilva-kv6fs]

Starsight was so good. Brandon Sanderson always delivers. Also, thanks to you for recommending reading his books and I been trying to read everything from him.

[@ilovesmallville13]

I understand you about pretty book covers. Before I didn't care what the book looked like, but now with Booktube and Bookstagram and all the beautiful editions of books I see, I get a bit influenced haha. Sometimes I'm in a used bookstore and I see a book I'm interested in, but it's not the cover I want, so I wait for it to appear at some point 😅

[@laiaal.3324]

I just finnished Starsight and love it (not a surprise)! It's a very different approach than the first book but it was great for different reason, hope you like it too!^^

[@danielapiovesan3791]

Out of curiosity, do you not read in French or do you choose not to mention them? Id love to hear about some French/ Quebecois books that I should read (translated)!

[@marierei1988]

I loved Circe :) Ancient myths at school were the best fantasy for me.

[@juffan]

How to Win Friends is an amazing book that everyone should read. It is less of a a self-help book and more of a very clear and simple way to understand interpersonal relationships. If you are ever someone who wonders why someone behaves the way they do, this book can give you good insights.

[@im4evatapin12]

I’m still anxiously waiting on my 21lb box from the bookoutlet sale.... 😞

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Damn 21lbs!!!

[@theIaurenshow]

the only face on Emily’s shelves has to be snow globe emily, DUH

[@stephanierenee7655]

I read California when it came out and really enjoyed. I ended up buying it a few years ago and your video has reminded me that I should really re-read it!

[@nataliewakes]

I think there is supposed to be a secret garden film is coming out this year! I was planning on reading it too 🤗 Also If you liked Circe I would recommend The silence of the girls by pat barker. It’s a bit darker but really interesting x

[@mollyoneill7109]

The silence of the girls was the worst book I read last year. Don't waste your time!

[@dina4456]

Emily, you always have the most enjoyable book hauls on booktube! I feel as if I’ve really expanded my reading experience thru your book hauls.

[@AlaCatMom]

I just finished The secret garden. I actually listened to it as an audiobook narrated by Steven Garnett. I highly recommend it! English is not my primary language, but I adored this book

[@AneCathrine]

Everyone is telling you to watch Anne with an E and here I am begging you to watch the original show😂😅❤️

[@michaelspitz5345]

Bridge to Terabithia (tear-uh-bith-ee-uh) will tear you apart. I read it in grade school, and it's one of my all-time favorite books from that era of my life.

[@miralolar6069]

I really like our dark duett 💛

[@carolinejeppesen4372]

Emily: *decides to watch Bridge to Terabithia in between classes* Me: I can see where this is going

[@savfromsopn]

I LOVE The Secret Garden so much. I've read it about 20 times (not exaggerating) from when I was 10 until now (at 25). So heartwarming and all about healing and growth. I hope you love it! (My heart might break if you don't haha)

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Our dark duet is so good!!

[@ilithyia4221]

Oh my gosh I first saw the Bridge to Terabithia movie in my 4th grade class and it crushed my 9 year old heart. Such a heavy movie to show a bunch of 4th graders in class. lol

[@BethsAL]

The beginning 😂😂

[@Watersapphire]

I read "How to win friends & influence people" for my psychology course in university and I can tell that it pretty much teaches how to manipulate with people, to make them like you and to make them do what you want them to do. So it does still work, I think this book will never get too old, at least not completely. Some parts of it will always work. To finish that course I had to speak with my professor about my paper that was about the book and he asked me if I knew that Dale Carnegie committed a suicide. That was a big surprise for me, I would have never thought that someone who can give that kind of advice would ever kill himself, but I guess that's a common opinion about people like him.

[@VeraBellyDance]

Bridge to Terabithia is one of my favorites! I made my ESL students read it last summer. They really liked it, except the end. So sad, but such a timeless book. 😍

[@bfflana]

Your description of watching the Bridge to Terabithia movie was 100% my experience! So unexpected.

[@amywalker9553]

Looking forward to the non fiction guide video and please please do a dystopian recommendation video!!! Love your humour, your videos always chill me out :) thankyou!

[@thetland0308]

Who needs to go to the gym when you have thumbnails to make!? :P

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Right? XD

[@MusicalOne09]

Okay...I think you just convinced me to finally get Skyward. I've never read any Brandon Sanderson before but I'm excited to!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Oh I'm really hoping you'll enjoy it!

[@cheshtachoudhury8735]

I saw you holding up a copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People and I was like "wait...I ordered the book today, why?" I mean, its been months since I was trying to get this book!! But I got it just now😂

[@tayashokkerwrites]

Yes! Brandon Sanderson!! Love the video! :)

[@freckledklutz]

Starsight is so so good. I understand why you wanted your copy not to have a hideous cover however girl I feel you there! I just finished god's grave so the finale I will be reading once I get through my recent pile of library books! The diary of Anne Frank is something that messes with you in a good way! Waiting for your books to come is a mood. I am planning to make an order coming up and already looking at my cart in dismay!

[@melissarosado]

I like how you mentioned that you got the whole Scythe trilogy in hardcovers. I’ve been waiting to buy them and read them all because I want them in paperback 🙈 I did read the first one from my library and loved it so I want to own them all and read them in paperback so I’m waiting to own them since the library only has hardcovers lol

[@natcommon]

I picked up so many books on the Book Outlet Boxing day sale, it's ridiculous. But some highlights were the entire illustrated Earthsea series, My Plain Jane, The Beast Player, Call it What You Want and The Line Between. I'm really excited for you to read Rage of Dragons and The Secret Garden. And of course, Doom Slug, I mean, Starsight. ^_^

[@thereadingrobin2191]

Very glad you're going to read Anne Frank. Weird that it was in an English class, because she was Dutch (just like me). If you find it hard to read it, which I did, I recommend the graphic novel. I'm not sure if it's out in English, but I read it in Dutch last year and loved it.

[@misskikikat]

Definitely if you enjoy Anne of Green Gables read the other books that follow on from it - as it really does build on the world. Also the Emily books by LM Montgomery are really good as well too.

[@twistinyourside]

The Our Dark Duet series is my favourite VE Schwab by far!! I find her female characters annoying/lacking most of the time but the main girl in this is amazing! Hope you enjoy it too.

[@celina6259]

Could you film a „go through“ all the science fiction masterworks you own. I would love to discover more sci-fi classics 😍

[@brendax27]

Omg I just finished starsight today and I loved it! Can't wait to hear your thoughts😊

[@monthanadias9941]

This Is How You Lose The Time War was one of my most anticipated reads of last year and I ended up disappointed in some aspects. I hope you find it better than I did!

[@twistinyourside]

Monthana Dias same!!! The concept was amazing but the writing style was NOT for me (sooo overwritten and flowery) It wasn’t bad, just not what I expected or wanted so I was disappointed!

[@monthanadias9941]

@@twistinyourside Yees, the flowery thing was difficult at first, but what really threw me off was that the world building felt so vague! Definitely not bad, but I wanted more!

[@soniciris]

Anne of Green Gables is imo REQUIRED READING for precocious children. She was my friend at a time in my life when I really needed one. For someone reading it for the first time as an adult, I suspect it is still a good book but you might not 'get the hype' as it were. Still worth reading, but us grown-ups are not the target audience. (as an adult my favorite book in the series is actually 'Rilla' which is about Anne's daughter and has WWI as a backdrop, which I think is fascinating given how few books have that setting compared to WWII.) The Secret Garden is still one of my favorite books: I reread it every other year. Rather than being attractive for a deep or complex story, it is more of a triumph of mood. It is a book that feels to me like standing briefly in the sun after running errands in the rain for hours, or having tea with a friend you lost track of a being satisfied to find you still get along...or like spring unfolding in a forgotten garden! It is sweet and chill and lovely. (same reason I recommend Elizabeth Goudge's books, actually)

[@paula2461]

I recommend the tv show Anne with an E! It's an adaptation from Anne of Green Gables and watching the show is what made me want to read the books. It only has 3 seasons and it's on Netflix/CBC Gem.

[@williamstewart3058]

Chapter 32 has just done an overview of the 8 books in the Anne of Green Gables Series a few hours ago

[@AButifulNerdyNightmare]

Contact (the movie) is one of my all time faves! I Legit just thought about it today then it just happened to be in your vid. I never hear anyone talk about it.

[@danielleoliver1734]

I loved the greatest story ever told so far - such a good audiobook too

[@katerinateaser]

Can't wait for a review for "This is how you lose the time war" ,again i love the writing and the story, it's a bit predictable in some parts but overall so enjoyable. Then i finished the first two books of the Wayward children series but really want more of them.

[@DarkMistyDay]

I bought a few Junji Ito horror manga books, "Gyo" was absolutely horrifying. I can't wait to see your reviews on several of the books you just bought, I trust your reviews more than anyone else on KZbin :)

[@nataliemorales979]

I loved this book haul. I wish I could get my hands on the hardcopy of Skyward and Starsight 😭

[@skygirl15]

I do think you’ll enjoy the “How to win friends and influence people” book, as I found it still relevant and actually very useful. It will be visible that is a book that was written a while ago and for me there were areas that were harder to go though, as it can feel repetitive and a bit slow, but overall it’s totally worth the read.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Good to know!!

[@ericavandegrift6219]

I currently have 54 books in my cart on Book Outlet. 2 are for my husband. No shame lol.

[@kat-xu8qp]

Are you planning on reading The Witcher? I highly recommend the series and would love to hear your opinion on it.

[@melpovardaki4072]

Charles Manson was a big fan of Dane Carnegie's "How To Win Friends And Influence People". He studied the book while in prison and practiced its methods to make famous friends and gather his cult!

[@melissarosado]

Melpo Vardaki that’s such an interesting fact!

[@kiradonofero1416]

I’ve been meaning to read Anne Frank! Been putting it off cus I’m expecting tears. Maybe I’ll finally read it when you pick you up as well

[@AngelikaRenee]

You just reminded me that I want to read Space Opera!!

[@aloverofstories]

So many books!!!! Awwww love this. In my latest haul, I only got 7 books haha

[@kimlake8838]

Once again you have contributed to my book wish list.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I have done my duty for the day :P

[@n00bfairy]

upon your reccs, I picked up The Stand by Stephen King and Spin by Robert Charles Wilson! I also grabbed Adultolesence by Gabbie Hanna because i'm such a poetry gal (even though I know you're not haha!) and then I grabbed two middle grade novels that are part of the Ever After High universe because I used to collect those dolls! I felt kinda excited to order 6 books at once, so I can't wait for them to get here!

[@Dustyrosepetal]

Anne of Green Gables has TV shows, movies, and plays. The new tv show is really good though it dosen't follow the books that great, the show does capture Anne really well though. The secret Garden has a movie I think it came out in the late 80s early 90s. I really liked it as a kid.

[@becklebooks]

Yay Starsight! :D I hope you like it! I gave it 4/5 and definitely liked Skyward better BUT, it was still a lot of fun & I think you'll like it. :) Ah, The Poppy War. I loved the first half, found the second half meh. It's one of those hyped books that I didn't get on the hype train for unfortunately! :( But hey, now I know.

[@megandcochrane]

Just a thought, the best stories with fae and the supernatural (but might fall under magical realism? I’m not sure) are by Patricia Briggs. I devour the Mercy Thompson series. She’s a skin walker who was raised by werewolves, is a mechanic for the local vampires, and lives just outside of Walla Walla, the reservation set up for the fae who “came out” when they realized that modern medicine and science was on the brink of putting them. I laugh, I cry, I have a great time 👍🏻

[@meljstephan]

Oh A Bridge to Terabithia 😭😭😭

[@CarinaSchrijft]

So many titles I need to get! I going to need more shelves. I really want to read Skyward and I have a copy somewhere. I lost it. 😂

[@Kayla-rj9lr]

I really want to know what you think of Starsight...personally I was very disappointed.

[@LadyCroft86]

So nice to see you again, hope you feel better. Also, hope you didn't hurt yourself when making that thumbnail. ;)

[@saragouveiaa]

The Rage of Dragons and This is How You Lose the Time War were both favorites of mine in 2019, can’t wait to hear your thoughts on them! 💕

I've decided to literally only buy books for their covers. I tend to read them first from the library, and if I love a book, and it has a great cover, then I buy it.

[@olenau.385]

Last year I read "How to win friends and influence people". It was easy and interesting to read with many old examples, but still 4 stars book. And last week I read "Wicked saints". It was good, but nothing new to me. Also 4 stars.
