Sorry about the construction noise and how quick the reviews were... it's been awful and it was the least loud it's been all week and I just tried to do it as quickly and painlessly as possible! :S

[@nightking5405]

I barely noticed. Also your English was incredible this video!

[@jenniferwadin9476]

I feel like you tubers usually put too much weight on things like that, I could not hear anything, and even if I could, no big deal? Construction is everywhere :) and they are usually making the world better :D Great video Emily!

[@chloebruneault3093]

"Calvaire!" J'ai ri 😂😂 Je suis en train de lire Sleeping Giant, et je trouve ça tellement agréable de lire un personnage québécois dans un roman anglophone!! #proud

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Haha like come on... aucun quebecois le dirait comme ca :P J'etais super contente aussi, c'est pour ca que j'etais decue quand j'ai ecoute le 2e livre :S

[@chloebruneault3093]

BookswithEmilyFox c'est bon à savoir, je continuerai avec la version papier! D'ailleurs, félicitations pour ta chaîne, tu me fais toujours rire!

[@artreserve5351]

Chloé Bruneault je love pommes

[@artreserve5351]

Chloé Bruneault I'm learning French lol

[@stacisbookishprobs8043]

I think the Red Queen books get better and better with each book! The third book is such a set up and takes everything to the next level

[@JanaMorgen]

Order of the phoenix has always been myfavorite harry potter book and I know its usually peoples go to least fav but I'm glad that its grown on you! its v underappreciated

[@lizziethepirate]

J'ana order of the Phoenix is one of my favourites as well

[@ananthousflorist2249]

Order of the Phoenix is my favorite as well!

[@kimberlya7267]

my least favorite is the goblet of fire which seems to be everyone's favorite. i feel like order of the phoenix is my favorite but i need to reread them.

[@kattoua6425]

J'ana Also my favourite!!

[@tana3537]

Kimberly A omg you're the first person I've met that has the same opinion as me! I love the fifth one, the fourth one is my least favorite

[@vanessarayfox]

Hey Emily! Could you do a video on some of your favorite book tubers? I didn't realize this was a thing until you started this channel & now I'm hooked. I hadn't read a book (outside of school) in years, & now I'm devouring them!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I listed 4 of them in the description box of my last video! :)

[@vanessarayfox]

BookswithEmilyFox Thanks love!

[@SomeRandomSingerGirl]

Oh god that audiobook sounds terrible I totally understand where you're coming from. There are so many books in this wrap up that I need to pick up soon! But I actually have a recommendation for you this month. I read The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor and I freaking loved it. I haven't come across a book that I just couldn't put down in such a long time but this was that book for me. It's not new, but it's a fantasy adventure YA that's a spin on Alice in Wonderland. I've already ordered the next two books in the trilogy from BookOutlet and I'm dying to continue the series!

[@anjamelnjak3636]

I loooved Red Queen so much. Eventhough I haven't read the third book, the second one was great so I'm very happy that you decided not to give it up just because it had typical elements of a distopian novel!

[@jacullyhunter3975]

I am so glad you gave Red Queen a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I keep telling people if you go into the book with an open mind and not listen to all the comparisons to other YA books it could actually be good. Nice wrap up!!!!

[@itsssanerdything]

please upload more videos because whenever my reading slump starts hitting me , your videos are the Savior 😁 love them...

[@kristivella7969]

Wrap Up videos are my favorite....Thanks for the updates....I really do enjoy your videos.

[@acaseofbookmania4659]

You're by far my favorite booktuber!

[@KLR307]

I am reading A Man Called Ove right now and it has made me think of Gran Torino, Up, and Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen.

[@everydaylifewithkat]

Yes, I agree! A Man Named Ove reminded me of Gran Torino! I thought it was a great book too!

[@victoriabakrdjian3431]

I loved A Man Called Ove! I too listened to it on audio and really enjoyed how the narrator portrayed Ove's grumpiness lol. I'm currently reading Backman's newest, Beartown, which is also very good so far. It's a book about town that idolizes hockey (kinda like here in Montreal lol) and yet it's SO much more than that. Highly recommend!

[@jennamorganbooks]

I'm so happy you loved Ove! It is now one of my favorite books of all time after reading it last year. :) And I agree about Red Queen. I didn't think it was as bad as (mostly) everyone says it is here on BookTube.

[@catherinefarrell5]

Yes!!! I am so happy you loved A Court of Mist and Fury! So good :) you should continue Throne of Glass series. It gets much better especially book 3 and later

[@CaroMontero]

😂😂😂😂 your face with the audio was the best!! 💕💕💕 and I agree with you, so annoying

[@satally94]

Yay!! I'm glad you read ACOMAF! It's my favorite book 💙 I'm currently reading the last book and it's really good so far!

[@kayfaraday4803]

You got me super interested in Sleeping Giants. Thanks for the rec!

[@katiedavisvids]

I made the mistake of picking up Waking Gods in audiobook too and I 100% agree with you - the narration was really annoying at times. Definitely going back to print for the next one.

[@TheBookishLand]

I go into The Themis Files by audio book from the first book, and the audio book is actually fine for the first one! Except I was confused by the name of the 'friend doesnt have name' lol. And the second one, OMG yeah Eva drove me crazy everytime she speaks. Fredrik Backman now became my favorite author of all time! His books are all good. I haven't read A Man called Ove but I've read another two of his books, both amazing! Great reading month for you XD

[@faeriefire78]

I totally understand about audiobook voices ruining the experience. I already had a lot of issues with the Throne of Glass series (sorry, everyone!) and the audiobook on Queen of Shadows was just the nail in the coffin. I couldn't deal with it anymore.

[@Raven-rv9ge]

i been listening to audiobooks through KZbin and the ones i listened to this week and fell in love with was cinder and Ella by katy oram and by ur side by kasie west i loved them sooooooooo much and one book i read was called letters to the lost by brigid kemmerer i gave this a 5 🌟

[@maryclarereads5249]

Oh my god that is the worst audiobook clip I've ever heard! Wow, how was that produced and approved without anyone pointing out how terrible it is??

[@momofsparky8205]

Loved Simon vs the Homo sapiens agenda!

[@sashugh]

I'm currently reading 'Salem's Lot by Stephen King and oh my god how long and uneventful it is. It took me 270/560 pages to finally get into it. It's a vampire novel, but because it's soo long and dragging, it's not scary at all.

[@martineguitard7639]

i think maybe Flame In The Mist is a book you would like. I haven't finish reading it yet but so far it's good.

[@moonstone-dreamer6512]

I like your honest reviews, I liked red queen I need to read rest of the series

[@TheVinnychaos]

haha, that was such a bad impression of a French-Canadian edition. Fantastic video!!

[@reptilesarehott1234]

You HAVE to read Fredrik Backman's other novels. So so good. 😭 I'm currently reading his latest release Beartown.

[@mamabearreads921]

Yes! Someone else who didn't enjoy We Were Liars! I feel like everyone just gushes about it, and I was so disappointed with it. The writing was too much for me at times, and the ending *eye roll* I just can't imagine any group of teenagers thinking that plan would actually work. I'm definitely going to have to check out Sleeping Giants!

[@faryalsh9480]

Your ranting about the French accent made me laugh so much 😂

[@Lysis99]

(One year later I know) Ohh damn I miss I bullet here. I'm currently reading Waking Gods and almost use the audiobook. I'm french canadian. Vincent is French Canadian, not French! I would have thrown my cellphone with big "NOPE NOPE" and I would have miss that wonderful serie.

[@Shivi4eva]

Omg this is gold 👌🏻 i bloody love your videos:)

[@CamilaGo]

i love how you pronounce harry. like erie ♡.

[@Raven-rv9ge]

i think i had a really good reading month my best this year so far i read the whole manga series of Lament of the lamb it's a great series, if u like manga i highly recommend it i read another manga called Rosario + vampire volume 1, letters to the lost by brigid kemmerer a book i highly recommend again and 3 audio books and they where cinder and Ella by katy oram by your side by kasie west the distance between us also by kasie west i also read , I am darkened so this month's been good and i only this week got into audiobooks

[@animalcrackers8880]

3:43 Lmfao yes!

[@rotisepan]

i skipped your intro and search that noise around my room until i saw your text below, and rewatch the intro. hahahahha!!

[@chemina7270]

I have yet to read a Man Called Ove but I did read Backman's other book My Grandmother asked me to tell you she's sorry. I think you'll like it. 🙂

[@martineguitard7639]

I'm french Canadian from New Brunswick!

[@finickityreader5274]

That accent made me think of 'Allo 'Allo! Lol! But I completely get you. I've quit audio books that tried to do English accents, and it can be really weird with a TV tie in novel. :-/

[@beamingforbooks]

That audio book 😭😭😭 I can understand why you didn't enjoy it! I wanna read sleeping giants so bad tho!

[@chelsiesdiamondsandbooks]

Im also french canadian. I know depending if you live in quebec or ontario the accent can be different but it didnt sound like either one.

[@xocookiie]

hahahah calvaire !!!! c'est ben trop drôle !! Tu m'as donné envie de lire Sleeping giants et waking gods ! 1) Ça a l'air bon. 2) La couverture WOW

[@lenschowbooks]

I feel very honored being a swede right now, it's not often I see someone who's not from Sweden reading a Swedish book 😂

[@ErikaSbaBBa]

hahahahah my favourite HP book is the order of the phoenix and my least favourite is the half-blood prince .. i don't know it makes me laugh hard that you feel the exact opposite

[@AnnaShuk]

Ahaha, the first thing I thought about was - how warm is there, where Emily lives? It's boiling hot here, where I am. Always interesting to hear an opinion of a native speaker, when it comes to accents. It wasn't problem for me, but I wondered if Vincent's voice was done right.

[@kazzified29]

That audiobook. My ears bled listening to that. I nearly fell off my chair laughing when you said it was like bad porn. Couldn't agree more! 🤣😂🤣😂

[@marianamo5826]

I have a big recommendation for you: I don't know how is this book called in English but in Spanish it's called "El cazador de la oscuridad" by Donato Carrisi (the author is Italian). It's a thriller and it takes place in Rome but you should read the sinopsis by yourself. It's soooo goood!!!! I've just finished it and I think you would like it

[@MissHepburnxo]

You should read the Silver Lining Playbook. It's way better that the movie.

[@Amira-rv8xd]

Yay!! New video hehe

[@ryleevadenais3549]

I loved We Were Liars!!! I wish you did too but it's alright 😂

[@rebelbelle1388]

I love that you finally read A Court of Mist and Fury! I LOVE that one. Definitely my favorite in the trilogy. Will you be reading A Court of Wings and Ruin?

[@Bayleen_Heen]

I ve read th book "a man called Ove". 😍 iam swedish and i was kind of a big book here when it was realised. I liked it but i was so Annoyid whit him in the begining of the book been "typical white swedish "old" man". Grumpy and so on. My experience is that there is at least One " Ove " in youre neighboorhood in sweden 😂😂😂 But when you get to know him/them, they are acully kind of Nice guys. 🌷 Love your Channel ❤️❤️

[@teraturnspages8833]

that audio book, yeah I wouldn't be able to do it!

[@desha1102]

your face when that girl starts talking 😂😂😂😂

[@erikadecastro297]

same thoughts about We Were Liars. I thought I was the only one who saw everything coming like, its soooo predictable.

[@JJ367]

I just read We Were Liars too. Like you I really didn't like the writing style. And I literally guessed the twist by page 30 😂

[@ErusIra72]

I also read A man called Ove and it was an alright read. I believe I gave it a 3/5. A lot of the reason was like you said it did remind me of Grand Torino(a little UP too) and the usual 'grumpy elderly person is just misunderstood and kind' trope. Even though the story progression was predictable, I did enjoy Ove as a character. But I really disliked the ....I don't remember her name but the pregnant neighbor lady? As well as the husband. I couldn't find them believable ....and the wife I found annoying....yeah.They also came out with a movie, I'm planning on watch soon.

[@vanesssxoxo]

Je suis Tes vidéos depuis un moment et je me demandais si tu étais québécoise et tu réponds finalement à ma question! ;) Je dis accent, mais franchement, ton anglais est juste wow! Où as-tu appris à t'exprimer de façon aussi fluide en anglais? Et bravo pour tes vidéos! J'adore!

[@dallasw600]

I lost it at "it sounds like bad porn" it was so funny!

[@PerformingBookFelf]

I'm so glad you said about waking gods - I'm just listening to sleeping giants and loving it as an audio book but now you showed the second book with that horrible voice I'll probably just buy the second one 😂😂 Thank you for saving me!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Save yourself!!! :P

[@chelsiesdiamondsandbooks]

Have you read Girl in 6E. Ive been debating reading it. Killing Gravity is an awesome short scifi book that I think you would really love. Im currently reading an ARC Nyxia and its fantastic scifi so far.

[@BernasBookishAdventures]

I thought exact same things about court of mist and fury and the previous books. Sex scenes and some supposedly "romantic" scenes were dull and pointless sometimes. On the other hand, the world building and the relationships in the second book were really good.

[@booksbyleynes]

OotP has always been my favorite Potter. I guess part from the reason why Harry is so "whiny" is because he's suffering from PTSD and there's so much pressure on him (from his fellow students, teachers, the media etc) and my poor little boy can't even relax for one second. :)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Definitely! I'm not saying he had no reason to be, I just always felt like he should have talked to someone/it made me feel sad too reading it as a kid! I still feel like he should have talked to someone but now that I'm older I get it!

[@booksbyleynes]

BookswithEmilyFox Yeah, but he felt like Ron and Hermione were distancing themselves from him, and Dumbledore was such an ass in this book... He tried to talk to Sirius, but Sirius turned out to be a manipulative twat as well because he couldn't seperate Harry from James... And so Harry really was in a fucked up position.

[@ellynmccann4531]

I listened to Sleeing Giants on audiobook and really enjoyed it, but I agree the second book on audio was horrible.

[@missperez528]

Haha the audiobook 😂!

[@lilliskalinky7120]

Red queen is on my July TBR. I hope I will enjoy it :) I am also planning to read Sleeping giants and Simon vs. the homo sapiens agenda. I finished We were liars few days ago and I HATE IT. It is so off. One of the worst books this year :(

[@JennV-B]

I'm reading The Hate U Give now (only 30 pages in but I'm liking it) and I FINALLY finished A Darker Shade of Major which was really good and I'm curious to see what happens in the other books :) It took me 6 freakin months to finish one book because of this darned illness but I'm determined to try and read more often now 💚

[@lastjuliet788]

Awwww ,I hope you feel well by now

[@JennV-B]

Last Juliet that's so sweet of you to say!!! Unfortunately I'm still battling to get into remission which is the goal since it's a lifelong illness. I'll get there though one day! 😘

[@CrazyRobotLover]

where is your sweater from? new subbie! seriously, any book you recommend and i go out ASAP to rent lol. Also, what are your thoughts on "The Bone Season?" I've heard mixed reviews and not sure whether or not to pick it up

[@JashanaC]

DANG IT!!! I am driving to Vegas (from Phoenix) next Friday and I got the audio book of "Sleeping Giants" bc the time matches the drive time (there & back)... now I don't even want to listen to it. LoL.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Sleeping Giants should be fine since Eva isn't in it :P

[@JashanaC]

Ohhh okay - haha! Good to know for the second book though. That voice is TERRIBLE... holy mother of god!

[@AprilStrand]

The audiobook playback HAHA xD

[@cynthiadesgagne8548]

"Calvaire," that audiobook truly sounded awful. I had heard good things about it before, but now it's definitely off my list. (I'm also French Canadian.) I'm planning on reading Sleeping Giants in July since I'm reading only Canadian authors for the whole month. I'm glad you liked it and can't wait to dive in! I also want to read Tygana by Guy Gavriel Kay (there's a readalong here if you're interested www.goodreads.com/group/show/222235-tigana-readalong?ref=discussion_newsfeed_item_link), The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood, Anne of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery and An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth by Chris Hadfield. Are you doing anything special on Canada Day? :D

[@conniescove5497]

Hi Em! I wish to know which program do you use to edit your videos please! I want to start a book channel but I don't know how 😂 thank you! You're beautiful :)

[@b3lurxxxm3duza]

the accent part made me laugh so bad xD are you in montreal? cause those construction sounds sure sound like mtl :P

[@maxinehansford]

Can you do a sci-fi recommendation video? Or, have you already made one? You seem to know so much about sci-fi, and I don't know what to pick up.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I need to do one, I'm just trying to read more books before starting a series sharing all my fav! Depends on what you like but... For YA: Illuminea Sci-fi thriller: Dark Matter - Blake Crouch Fun, quick reads: The Martian, Sleeping Giants Character driven: A long way to a small angry planet Classics : I, Robot (very different from the movie!), the lathe of heaven Hope this help a little!

[@maxinehansford]

Thank you so much!!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

YAS WE ARE THE ANTS

[@julianvargas3939]

We Are The Ants was such a wonderful book!!!

[@cristina9140]

My boyfriend is saying sometimes about the audio books I listen to " are you listening to the robot voices again ?" Unfortunately for some of the audio books is true..

[@littlebookbin]

Sometimes I forget that you liked a court of mist and fury

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

We should all forget about that XD

[@littlebookbin]

@@BookswithEmilyFox HEYY THATS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS 🤡

[@JennV-B]

Lmao!!!!! That accent!!!! I don't know what it was but it wasn't French Canadian! It was just bad acting French. And the Eva girl sounds like she's out of one of those annoying kid's tv shows that I would have to walk out of the room for. Yup my phone would be broken lol! So bravo on having the self restraint cuz I wouldn't last a minute lol. I swear her voice just annoyed the crap out of me in that tiny clip so imagine 😂😂

[@DianaWodnoff]

I have never read Harry Potter

[@noemitoussaint9168]

Salut je viens de recevoir les livres de ma première commande sur bookoutlet et j'ai remarqué qu'il y avait des traces de marqueurs sur le haut et le bas de mes livres et je voulais savoir si toi aussi sa t'arrive? Parce que je n'es pas commander de livres endommagés, donc je croyais recevoir des livres en parfaites condition... Aussi J'ADOOOORE ta chaîne KZbin❤️❤️

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

C'est expliquer sur leur site bookoutlet.com/Help/AboutUs Ce n'est pas eux qui font les marques!

[@noemitoussaint9168]

Haha d'accord merci!😉

[@jaedyn225]

I was about to unhaul ACOMAF bcs cringey sex scenes but maybe...... i read the kings cage (book three of Red Queen) and it is another YA dystopian but its a guilty pleasure one last thing: i bought we were liars today and now I'm scared....

[@maggiechatsbooks9045]

I loved Sleeping Giants and can't wait to read Waking Gods. I will definitely not be listening to the audio book. Thank you for the warning!

[@mmmcookies8814]

I've only heard about how great the Sleeping Giants series is in audio. That sample you played was awful! I wouldn't be able to finish it 🙉

[@ArielsBooklist]

*bad porn* I literally choked haha! And yes to A Man Called Ove! 😄

[@puknukbooks9022]

How come everyone read more than 10 books in this month!!!!

[@FayEvanesce]

How do you read so many books in a month?

[@loati94]

I wonder how they do it too. I read two or three books at most in a month and usually just one because I read almost everyday but I can't read too long

[@saranghaebooks6431]

Tell me the secret to read 12 books in a month i need it😭

[@mlleariane6667]

It's not a French from France accent either. Also, nobody ever says Calvaire as a way to swear ? Ever?

[@bastardizedforeigncuisine]

THANK YOU for pronouncing it a man called Oh-ve og and not Oo-ve

[@LynnetteReads]

oh my word those voices are awful!

[@desireemclaughlin1455]

A bad voice performance can definitely ruin what would otherwise be a great book...that was pretty painful

[@Amanda-dn4ld]

Yeah... Bad porn is about the only thing that sounds like. 😂 In general I don't really like Harry and OotP has a lot to do with that.

[@MeaganPrecourt]

Every time Hailee spoke in THUG I would just 🤦🏻‍♀️. She's the worst!

[@kenzieleetea]

Ok that audiobook is cringe-worthy 😬 bleh. Simon vs the Homospaiens agenda is such a good book ♥️

[@murmanmummel]

I had to pause waking gods audiobook and search for others feeling like me. Eva’s voice makes me throw up a little. And Vincent’s, awful. And when they hurt themselfs and scream.. that being said - the books are great!

[@ArteoftheMist]

your face when listening to the voices LOL but oh my goodness you weren't wrong her voice is so annoying O.O

[@daisyjune5135]

I like your hair better without bangs. You have a great hairline! Just my opinion. 🙂

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I don't have a choice until my hair grows - it was chopped by accident and I'm wearing clip in bangs until then!

[@AlyssLysie]

Omg those voices were so bad! She sounded so whiny
