Last Wrap Up of 2018 || Books I Read in November & December

[@natcommon]

I'm grateful for your honest review of Throne of Glass. It saved me from the cringe. So keep being you and being honest. ^_^

[@tzim8692]

Congratulations for 60k!!! I learned about booktube in late 2017 and you were the first one that I watch (it was your November wrap up and then I binge watch every one of you videos in 3 days) and you are still my favourite. You are the person that got me into reading and thank you so much for that!💘

[@btsforlife8402]

Jim K. What books did you like that she recommended? I have few I want to go through but I want to go into sci-fi too. 💜

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I have a "Beginner's Guide to Sci-fi" which might help start if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omm4gXSLoLZ8hqs

[@leticiajales2419]

I appreciate you very much, so I hope the year ends for you to get some rest. Thanks for all this content. In response, we hit 60k, so congrats to us. You're great, we're great. Hope you feel better soon, you deserve it.

[@aephiinguyen]

Great video!!!! And I love your natural look. I haven’t ever read a Stephen king book but I think I’ll consider it since you read so much of him.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

The "no makeup look" I was fine with, it's the "don't puke look" I was not sure about 😂

[@11Juliet]

Pet Sematary is my favorite so far!! and the audiobook narrated by Michael C. Hall is also fantastic!

[@Jazzonic]

Hey get some rest. You've earned it. Seriously been enjoying the content though! I haven't finished Throne of Glass series. I stopped at book 6?... The one focusing on Chaol. Ugh.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

He seemed the least insufferable in book 1 but maybe it's because he didn't have much personality lol

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Book 2 was MUCH BETTER. (after chapter 2!) The sex scenes are still annoying and some of the stuff at the end is too convenient but overall it actually felt like a fantasy book and some of the characters/friendships are good!

[@silvergray5981]

These last few thumbnails r killing it!! 💪💪

[@Lilli626]

You reached 60,000!! Congrats 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Longhornchic]

I love the long walk!!

[@lantreauxlivres]

I absolutely adore unreliable narrators/characters, and I think Joyce Carol Oates is a queen for that. My favorite of hers is Bellefleur, but I also love The Accursed and A Bloodsmoor Romance! Her style is unique; it can be hard to get through it, and it's not for everyone I think, but if you love it, heaven! Hope you'll feel better! And I always enjoy your videos, always great! And it would be amazing to have a video per week! (I should probably do that too!)

[@pippavanel4170]

I hope you feel better soon! You look really fresh actually- better than i do when i feel well! :) love your videos and looking forward to catching up with more thank you for making them!

[@Katzukis27]

I hope you feel better soon! But don't apologize for how you look, you always look stunning!! I've really loved these daily videos 💕

[@Amanda-dn4ld]

Lovely no makeup day! Stone Sky made me SOB. That book definitely picks up the pace. I'm sure people are twisting your words to find a way to invalidate legitimate criticism about a popular book. 🙄🙄🙄 I loved the ending of Cabin. I feel like there is nothing more that could be there that would keep everything satisfying for the most people. I did think Wen was a dumb character but I also don't love kids in books period.

[@Victoria-pt4io]

Thank you for the upload, I always look forward to your videos - but get some rest! I’m listening to The Obelisk Gate (the audio is great) and liking it so far though it is a bit slow. And I’m proud to say my mom is finally reading The Stand and told her she has to let me know when she gets sick 😆

[@emmavanweert1013]

Just wanted to let you know that I loved a Throne of Glass an loved your review/vlog. And if you decide to read the rest and vlog about it I would totaly watch it (and probably love it) despite our different opinions.

[@clairemeehan4141]

Take care Emily and hope you feel better soon

[@jacquelinemcmenamin8204]

Get well soon 🤧🤕☕️& Happy New Year 🍀👋☘️🎉💕You're beautiful even when you're ill 😷

[@amandaapple2102]

For A Brief History of Time you should check and get a more updated copy, it has been revised a few times since its original publication, I'm reading it right now and I'm glad that I have the most updated copy.

[@marril96]

I highly recommend 13 Minutes by Sarah Pinborough, Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant, and The Chalk Man by C.J. Tudor. Amazing books IMO. I think you may like them.

[@marcyreads]

I was super disappointed with A Cabin at the End... it was an anticipated release, and even preordered it. I looooved the idea behind it but it fell a little short for me 😩 Great wrap up!!

[@kirihara120]

I’ve enjoyed every Bill Bryson book I’ve ever read. He’s a great writer and has a great sense of humor.

[@Erdnussbuttertoast]

It's so sweet of you to still film and post even though you're sick, just because you said you would :) Still really enjoyed the video, even though it was more chill and you weren't "done up" :)

[@janemurray4534]

Have a happy new year and feel better!!

[@btsforlife8402]

Get well soon girl, this was great once more, you are place for recommendations and I love you for it.

[@Cozygamerreads]

Great video! I hope you'll feel better soon. I loved it that you uploaded every single day! you're one of my faves.

[@DeeDeeCatMom]

Trying to post so much in December is cray cray! Thanks for posting your wrap up, but make sure you take care of yourself ;)

[@lisaswartz4633]

Hope you feel better soon. I love your channel and follow you on good reads. Hope you get some rest and happy new year 🥳 🎆

[@zeereads]

all of your end of the year vids this month were so great! i hope you feel better soon & congrats on 60k! here's to 60k more :)

[@Emmareads15]

Thank you for your content this year, this month in particular, you must have worked non stop. Have a good rest, and hope you enjoyed your Christmas and have a great New Year and feel much better soon!

[@LisbethJimenez]

A Short History of Nearly Everything is one of my favorite books. Just a fabulous read. Congrats on 60K :)

[@11Juliet]

"subscribe because I promise I'm not like this usually" 😂😂😂

[@sanotaku6273]

finally 60 k on thos channel.... congratzzz

[@lynxlou]

Congratulations reaching 60k! You look so pretty without makeup ! Hope you feel better soon!

[@TheKaty1126]

Feel better Emily! Congrats on 60,000 subscribers!🥳 Happy New Year! 🥳

[@iThinkinPink100]

Book rec: Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood

[@CourtOfTarth]

Ooh I’ve enjoyed a couple bill Bryson books and haven’t heard of a short history!

[@piabailey1715]

I love your videos and really appreciate the thorough and honest reviews - it is refreshing to hear. Also in awe of how much you manage to read - makes me want to step up my reading game! FYI you will love NOS4A2 by Joe Hill!

[@dannajeon8895]

So happy to see this video, I love your channel 💖💖💖

[@watchcrap1]

Just finished the seven deaths of evelyn hardcastle off of your recommendation and it was one of the best books ive read this year! Couldnt recommend more.. thanks!

[@markwilson4078]

I read that just two months ago! A really interesting murder mystery to say the least, eh?

[@readbymalja]

I really like this natural look 😊 I'm a new subscriber and I'm happy to find your channel, your content is awesome! And please do take some rest 😊

[@Phillybookfairy]

Im glad someone agrees that the ending of CABIN was anticlimatic and also vague. Kudos to being a page turner and making me vested in the main characters in a short amount of time butttt..... i guess i just like answerssss. I dont like my books to end with a question mark. Like the character can be left with one, just not me ok? Lol i want to read more apocalyptic books, it did set me on a craving for them lol. I have a book on my shelves called, 'One Second After" which is about EMP terrorism - where all electronics get zapped out and how society deals with no electricity or motors, etc. It will probably be my first read of the new year. Have you read it? I hope you feel better & Happy New Year!

[@vitorfernandesa]

the series is looking really great! love all the videos :)

[@znaksormez]

I think Carl Frode Tiller is a great Author that Writes like who is crazy and Whos not type of books, i dont know how else to explain it haha. He is Norwegian though, but his triology encircling is written in English aswell. I have read the first book out of the Three, and i really liked it.

[@JennV-B]

Hope you feel better soon 😷Everyone tends to get sick around the holidays. 😘

[@BedtimeBookworm]

I hope you feel better soon! I tried to listen to Cabin at the End of the World on audio but the narrator was so bad I couldn’t! She sounded like a robot 😂

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

OMG when she did the voice of the main bad guy it was so bad!!! I was so confused lol

[@bryblio]

Yay! I’ve been rewatching your older videos since I missed your live, and I’ve was sick all week you look way better than I did! 😂❤️

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Feel better ❤️

[@bryblio]

BookswithEmilyFox thank you ! I hope you feel better soon!

[@Zoey1D]

Great video as always Emily!! Hope you feel better soon! 😘😘😘 love from Spain 💕💕💕

[@daariaaify]

yeah Throne of Glass is mediocre literature, it's fun and that's it. it should be ok though, not every book needs to be groundbreaking. i like it just fine, but i do think it has major issues xD

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Agreed!

[@daariaaify]

@@BookswithEmilyFox it's a bummer nevertheless, i have 3 more books in the series on my shelves and i feel no desire to pick them up even though i feel i should xD i just have so many better options for now...

[@burge2695]

I'm reading the throne of glass series right now..totally agree that it's not at all great writing but def is a fun read..i think you would really get into it if you read the rest of the series

[@bookswithalyssaj449]

hope you feel better soon!

[@nadine2204]

Love your reviews!

[@dectren]

Congrats on 60k! I hope you feel better

[@katarinastanisavljevic5972]

You should definitely read Different Seasons if you enjoy Stephen King. It's my favorite book by him, and totally different from his usual staff. No supernatural, no horror, just people with their tragic stories. Lots of love from Serbia☺️👐🏻

[@batlavender]

I haven’t actually read The Cabin at the End of the World, but I feel like you may enjoy “The Dark End of the Mall” from The Truth podcast - It’s only 20 minutes, so it’s more like a short story than anything else, but the pay off is really great. Best to go in completely blind!

[@nanochan1168]

I hope you feel better soon ❤❤

[@jewlitt8782]

Love you Emily! Get some rest.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Thank you!

[@heathersbooks816]

I was disappointed in The Cabin at the End of the World too, but A Head Full of Ghosts by Tremblay is so much better! I would recommend checking it out.

[@angiestone2818]

It took me almost 2 months to read the stand. It was a good book! Great video! Sorry you feel bad. Feel better soon!!!!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Thank you! It's a HUGE book for sure!

[@loz2768]

Recommendation for “who’s crazy who’s not” for me would be Before I Go To Sleep by S J Watson - its also a pretty decent film with Nicole Kidman :)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I watched the movie before knowing it was a book -_- I'm trying to forget most of it before reading it lol

[@HaganedixloveFansub]

I love your videos, it would make me really happy if you uploaded once a week :) Happy Holidays :)

[@SUBLIMEACT13]

Great Video! I enjoyed Paul Tremblay's A Head Full of ghosts much more than The Cabin at the End of the World. And I am just like you, wanting some books with the same premise, but better. Wish you the best!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

That's the one I have on my shelf haha I need to pick it up!

[@Sarah-dh2ef]

Will you be doing a video on your statistics again?❤

[@carolinefeatherduster8123]

Feel better

[@bookswithtiffy_bibliophile]

I’ve read under the dome by Stephen king it was the first book of his I read

[@monkeyheadbonkers9303]

I love your videos and will always watch them. You have a right to your opinion and talk about them in your KZbin channel. Also keep in mind, that when ppl disagree, it doesn't mean that they took offense to it. ♥ 📖 Looking fwd to 2019 videos. I hope you feel better.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Oh trust me people do take offence lol I don't mind others disagreeing with me, plenty do but the comments I'm referring to are different!

[@monkeyheadbonkers9303]

@@BookswithEmilyFox well ignore the haters bc social media is way too full of them 😂

[@picklejuice2]

Still a great video💛I hope you’re feeling better

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

💛

[@awildkiru]

I don’t know why people trash another because their have a different opinion on a book. I’m like: “chill, it’s just a book. Not the end of the world.” It’s so childish. That’s why people can’t have decent debates on something because they start a fight really quickly. It’s just insane.

[@jmbogert1]

I love the entertainment value of SJM - especially the later books in the series, but let’s not pretend they’re the next classics! I’ll never understand why people get so fired up about something most of us do for fun.

[@leticiatoraci9855]

Rest well!

[@gabriellesimoneau9958]

a really weird book i read was the other typist - i think you may like it

[@Lilli626]

Hahaha awww loved the thumbnail of this one!! Soo cute 😂

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

"Hide behind the books" 😂

[@snakeplissken1752]

I so agree about the Cabin at the end of the world... I was really disappointed.

[@CarinaSchrijft]

I am curious to see what you are going to think about Verity from Colleen Hoover. It's not anything like Colleen has ever written. It's a romantic thriller, and it's craazy..

[@Schizoid137]

I hope you feel better soon. :)

[@richardtalavera7582]

Hey! Maybe you should read The girl with the dragon tattoo! It’s an amazing thriller (it’s pretty rough, so be prepared)

[@godslittlestidiot2984]

You might enjoy American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis. The main character is a narcissistic (possibly batshit insane) businessman in 1990's NYC. He vaguely speaks about his "real" life, and describes in great details the things he does at night. I'll leave it at that I think. There's a fantastic movie to go with it. Don't expect to like any character, and above all else, don't trust the narrator. It's shorter than most of what you seem to read, and reads quickly. It's not something you put down out of boredom, rather, disgust. Much like Humbert Humbert in the amazing book, Lolita, nothing he says is to be trusted. It takes multiple rereads to figure out What The Heck Happened

[@tonyadull]

Have you read Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn?

[@pastapins2007]

it wasss greattt the videoo the seriiiees everything u r just greatt

[@Zoe-xt6hp]

I read the first two books in 'The Broken Earth' trilogy, and I really liked the first one, but thought the second one was just okay. I'm unsure whether I should continue the series or just give it up, so I'll have to see what you think when you finish it :)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Book 3 (I'm at page 250) has picked up A LOT! Things are very interesting right now

[@Zoe-xt6hp]

BookswithEmilyFox oooh thank you for letting me know! I’ll put the third one on hold now, I am curious about how it all ends

[@princessslibrary4244]

I really recommend Verity by Colleen Hoover. It was mind blowing. :D

[@yaredi]

Get better soon! 🤗

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Thank you!

[@sandraw.2010]

Bon rétablissement, Emily🧣

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Merci!

[@fizzacheema4538]

Try Verity by Colleen Hoover

[@annegc85]

Don't feel bad for not liking Throne of Glass. I hated The Raven Boys and everyine else seem to like it, and I can not understand why. People CAN like different thing. EVEN on booktube. (it seems like some channels forget it). One book that had a mystery and an narrator that made me keep guessing the hole book was "I'm thinking of ending things" by Iain Reid. Have you read it? Check it out.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I did! I definitely didn't see everything coming for sure haha

[@SuperRainbowSprinkle]

If you wanted another book with a somewhat "unreliable narrator", I would recommend A Stranger in the House by Shari Lapena. You can only suspect what is going on until the end!

[@StarsAboveJess]

The first three TOG books are not great imo but after that they get so much better. I always say SJM is a great storyteller but not a great writer

[@Candy.9610]

A book that i'd recommend you that has kinda that premise of 'who's crazy' 'who's telling the truth' would be SPLINTER by Sebastian Fitzek. It doesnt have the best of endings/explanation for the things that happened, but nonetheless it was a good book in my opinion.

[@teishabee1993]

Joyland by Stephen King was a great short book by him.

[@nocturnus009]

Feel better Emily 🦊, glad the last 2 months had such a scientific slant [Ignoring SJM 5:15 ]

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I had told myself I wanted to read more this year and barely did.. until now lol Well my brain needed a break... and now it never wants one again!

[@nicolelyn90]

it really sucks when you have to kind of defend yourself because you said you didn't like a book that is very popular. people need to calm down. not everyone is going to love a book that you love and not everyone is going to hate a book that you hate, it goes both ways! people tend to forget that. everyone needs to calm down and just read whatever they want and let you read whatever you want :) ok rant over.

[@umt6429]

Not a horror book and not a plotty book so may not be your cup of tea but we need to talk about Kevin has an unerialble narrator that handles the nature vs nurture question with regards to evil well and is told from the point of view of the mother of a seemingly sociopathic son.

[@bearllande]

i happen to like the throne of glass series but it's ok that you hate it. i only watch booktubers who actually have salty reviews coz it shows that they are honest. unlike some booktubers out there who just like evvvvverything. hate fakers and sellouts.

[@lisaswartz4633]

Try bird box. But please read before you watch the movie. Book is way better.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Read it two years ago!

[@rainyfeathers7765]

I have a stupid question but how the heck do you put the picture of the books you don’t have in the video? Is it possible with KZbin editing software or a Mac?

[@ChristianRumi]

also curious about this.. ive tried looking it up but havent found out how people do it!

[@zenstories]

Try typing this query in the search bar you find on every KZbin page: "how to put image in video". Hope that helps.

[@rainyfeathers7765]

@strong hobbit I did try that but it tells you how to put the image over the video not off to the side, so you can still see the person talking. I tried tons of ways to google it and I can’t figure it out.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

You can do it on iMovie for sure. Once you put the picture on your screen there's a way to move it - I'm using Final Cut Pro so I don't remember exactly how I used to do it but I can confirm there's an easy way!

[@MissKylie07]

You can find videos on iMovie, I believe it’s called picture in picture

[@Morfeusm]

Yay 😁

I’m sorry that you’re not feeling well... again. I feel like you’ve been sick so much in 2018 and I’m so sorry about that. even though I have no control over it. I want to read The Fifth Season but I’m intimidated by it. and I’m not sure why. I can’t wait to see your final thoughts on the whole trilogy and hope you feel better soon 💕

[@Victoria-pt4io]

I recommend listening to the audio of The Fifth Season. I’m always better listening to books I’m intimidated by then reading the physical copy, and I’m loving the narration so far. I also think the narration adds a lot to the parts told in 2nd person.

[@TheWissem12]

Same I wasn't impressed by TOG. It is not good.

[@simsloverS-xx4yr]

Have you read You by Caroline Kepnes? The main character is crazy but because you're in his head his craziness seems logical. It was a really cool read! And the Netflix TV show was just released
