Let's finish some books!! || Cozy Reading Vlog 2024

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

How's your own Rock Bottom Autumn going? lol Anything you've been loving lately and want to share? Any very low bar you managed to achieve?

[@Gabrielle.Xavier]

My rock bottom autumn was taking a month to read/listen to IT by Stephen King 😅 Someone needs to check in on that man lol

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

LOL that such a long one.... how did you feel about THE SCENE? XD

[@pamelastephens73]

I’m (finally) reading the Tearling series since you reminded me I own it. Just finished book 2 today. Books 1&2 are both 4-star reads. Going to start the 3rd book tonight or tomorrow. 😊

[@knittygirlone3391]

Don’t worry about negative comments. Just be yourself. I enjoy your channel.

[@dani5009]

Same. Emily, send the haters to us. We will defend your honor!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Luckily 99% of the comments are super nice and supportive. I really appreciate all of you

[@valentinabunnell1862]

Ignore the haters, never stop the cat content! My cats love it when I put your videos on the tv so they can watch your cats lol

[@Nico-lk5hb]

the reason you are one of my favorite booktubers is because you've always seemed sincere and fair with your content, opinions and personality throughout all these years =) Tnx for keeping it real in the book content creators community cause there's too much wishy washy BS nowadays around BookTube

[@gg_23452]

wow 40+ minutes? we've been blessed!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I got a little too chatty 😅❤️

[@martinelanglois3158]

I love how you are yourself in your videos, that not everything is perfect in your world all the time: sometimes happy, sometimes crappy. That's fine. Normal. It makes you real, genuine and friendlier. Love the beauty content, the cat content, the book content and yes, even the home cleaning content.🙂 Keep it up but don't overwork either. ❤

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

The content is ✨diversifying✨ lol You're always leaving me nice comments, I really appreciate it

[@WestTexasGothic]

ive been dealing with similar health stuff so i appreciate you sharing

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I think a lot of us are, so it’s important to normalize it and talk about it! One day at a time, things will get better ❤️

[@sarahwhite4227]

While I don't know if that helps at all. I discovered your channel during your "negative" period and never once I felt like you were negative and hated all of the books you read. It just felt more human and, honestly, refreshing to hear other opinions on books. Not everything has to be extremely optimistic, because for me it starts feeling like someone is trying to sell me a book instead if it's all great. I do trust your opinions and read some great books because of this channel.

[@EddaPascher]

Samey

[@sophmeowbooks7382]

"no balls in this house" (I have nothing to add. I just find it a delightful sentence.)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I used to joke I would adopt two older females cats so every night would be a girls night… the cat distribution system decided otherwise but the no balls policy is an non negotiable!

[@harrietj5866]

I’m sorry people are being rude to you! Ignore them. You’re my favourite booktuber and it’s because you’re genuine!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Thank you ❤

[@Elsa_ingenue]

I really appreciate you sharing your health issues, it’s made me feel much better this year. I’ve had severe neurological issues in the past few months that I’m only getting out of right now even though I’m fairly young and seeing that I’m not alone in this has been a huge relief 🫂 also you’re allowed to hate books!! don’t let them silence you queen!!

[@lilym.creative]

One thing I’ve always appreciated about you (even back to the beauty channel days) is your authenticity! A lot of the “negativity” people seem to be complaining about is usually just honesty lol

[@amyestrada1966]

Omg I was diagnosed with autoimmune disease just this month. The fatigue has crushed my life. Changed it so damn much. My thoughts and understanding are with you.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I'm so sorry you're going through it too!

[@julibaro575]

I've been dealing with some unexpected health issues this year and I've been even grumpier than usual; I can't even imagine years of not being taken seriously in terms of your health. It's totally normal to show how you're feeling. I'm here for whatever you want to share! (And for the cats, obviously)

[@ayragon]

Keep going, you’re doing an amazing job on this channel! You’re my go to for a strong female opinion that calls a duck a duck and an incomparable voice in the book review community. Thank you!

[@adelahorynova9458]

I love your channel for the love and all the obsession over books you love, and “no filter” honest feelings over the ones you don’t like. Just keep it as you wish, I’ll be here as I like your style 😍

[@dani5009]

“You’re getting your balls chopped off”?!!! Emily!! I nearly spat out my coffee 😂

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

LOL he needs to calm down XD

[@_daniela_s]

I love you for your authenticity and calling negative things out for what they are ❤ Hope you feel better soon!

[@user-nk8cj8sz1l]

Dont pay attetion to those comments, you are being transparent and sometimes it happens that we have shitty readings. If your health is not the best and you still find the energy to do something that makes you feel better, I give you props for that. Love your channel. Grettings from Argentina

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

This channel is one of the things that kept me sane through all of this ❤

[@crimedelacreeme]

The Chalice non-fiction is interesting! My husband is an historian and a archeologist specializing in tardive antiquity and he is now working on a paper on women in the etruscan, samnites and gallic people! He talks to me about the fact that some women were warriors and were burried with their armors and weapons and that people tended to believe for a long time that it was the weaponry of their husbands but no! It is fascinating. I am rn reading the "biography" of Artémise 1ere and she is so bad ass.

[@heyitsdee8092]

10 years ago I discovered your beauty channel and loved your videos with swatches. Last year I picked up reading after a really long pause and I was so excited to see that you also have a book channel. I truly trust your opinions and genuinely appreciate your work. You are very loved in this space😊

[@Taralovescoloring]

Cats + skincare + books + robot vacuums= an awesome video to watch! I love your content, whether you love a book or hate it it’s a genuine reaction and that’s what matters! Also, I’m glad that you are finally getting some health answers 🥰

[@kotokoo]

The thing with the knife up high made me remember when anthropologist found a decahedron with protuberances and nobody knows its use until a female anthropologist said its a tool to make the fingers of the knited gloves and its use it nowadays.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

That’s so interesting! I’m sure they are plenty of similar things that were overlooked!

[@1313AnimeFan]

lol the scramble for nap time was great. Also I am so glad they are starting to accept the baby 🥺

[@michaelacevelova7795]

Usually I don't watch your videos with headphones on. Today I did and so many times I've heard your kittens and thought that my cat is up to no good. But my good boy is peacefully sleeping in my legs. The second thing I wanted to tell you - I love the self-care moments in the videos.❤

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

You got a good dose of Chunky's purring too! Thank you ❤

[@marcelalaurito]

Never stop hoarding cats!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I can’t adopt another one but these 4 are definitely staying 😂

[@LisaK1075]

Don’t listen to the haters! I’ve never noticed you being negative! I’ve been a long time watcher for several years and always look forward to your videos …and the kitties!!

[@JillPlusBooks]

It was so great hearing about you doing better lately!!

[@AdiCarin]

3:22 Favourite colour? The purple family. If I had to be more specific, I think I would go with lavender, but I also looove a good aubergine. 11:28 "No balls in this house." 🤣🤣🤣 21:58 Ah, Nivea cream in the metal tin! Timeless! 29:07 The first photo was sad... 😢 I'm hoping that their relationships are still improving! 34:35 I still love that sweater. 💜

[@terrycadwallader1198]

I'm with you on the rock bottom autumn. Thanks for the product tips. I have long hair, 4 cats and an old dog with cushings causing lots of potty accidents. We have three bot vacuums. 2 are wyze 1 is a cordey. Plus we use a Bissell crosswalk as a suction mop.

[@draftacriss]

If you want a really nice sapphic cozy fantasy I’d say check out The Phoenix keeper, especially the audiobook - the narrator really makes it feel like you’re listening to friends telling you their work drama. It’s this shy introvert zoo keeper that’s in charge of a rescue program for a dying breed of phoenixes and it’s a lot of the day to day running of the zoo and you get invested in the magical animals and there’s a small side action plot to tie it all together. The main character is a bit judge and not like other girls at first, but her arc is beautiful to watch! Plus, sapphic workplace rivals! The author is an actual scientist herself so you can tell it’s a passion project.

[@mattiepartlow7334]

You and I were both chosen by the cat distribution system at the same time 😅 seeing you as a single cat mom of 4 gives me hope that i can handle mine. My newest cat had fleas (new experience for me) and had to get neutered, and doesn't get along with my female cat because shes just such a mean girl 🥴

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I was lucky with the fleas and the first treatment did the trick… the ear mites though, they don’t want to leave 😂 Hope your kitties start getting along soon

[@Ermordrung]

Your channel is the perfect escape! I love it! Don’t mind the negative comments.. who is perky 24/7 in real life? No one… we all have issues. I would much rather you be authentic ❤

[@Rainbopagn]

11:51 boys are very easy??? 😂😅 Ours had a hernia repair same day as snip and he was running full speed not an hour after we got him home. Trying to keep him still and in a cone… herding bulls through a china shop would have been less stressful!! The little gremlin did heal with no issues aside from a little pocket of fluid/swelling over went away on its own.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Oh wow! Tbf I was basing that on Clawdia removing her cone and one piece to pull out her stitches lol All 3 boys were fine the same day!

[@kathyclements3292]

I have 2 cats and a dog and I actually bought a robot vacuum after watching one of your videos and I run it almost every day (one floor per day). I bought a dumb one also just to make sure I would like it and it is doing a great job. It doesn’t map but it does real well with covering the whole area (which is probably 500 sq feet per floor). Any way the brand is Shark and it was only 180 US dollars. Hope that helps and thanks for such fun videos

[@KendraPeaceAndLove]

I truly never noticed you being more negative. I love your reviews because you’re so honest! I hope you get so much vacuum PR to review 😂 I also have long hair and to many cats

[@KendraPeaceAndLove]

😮 that Dino sweater is LIFE

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I also have it in black and but the purple is just 👌 LOL I need to start tagging them here. I’m gonna find the best of the best 😂

[@musicalina230]

Just finished How To Sell a Haunted House, I loved it! I’m reading Horrorstor now.

[@federubiowenk2859]

I had braces for 6 years or more, I feel you

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

It's never ending lol

[@Mdnootsid]

this video literally came in the perfect moment in my life, love you

[@ChanelChapters]

I want to enter my muscle mummy era too 💪

[@Rank.Roundup]

Honesty doesn’t equal negativity! I’ve been watching you since your shelves were empty, and I’ve never found you to be negative at all. I want honest reviews. If you hate the book, you hate the book. Tell me! I’m so sorry you’ve been feeling so bad, but I relate to you a lot because I’m also a child-free, book loving, crazy cat lady. Your subscriber count has grown like crazy, so obviously it’s not bothering too many people. Haters gonna hate.

[@jennifernguyen4277]

We have the Eufy L60 vacuum with self empty station. Has the mapping and zones and rooms as well. It's going strong and frequently on sale. My credentials: 1 cat and I also have long hair

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Ohh I've been looking at the self emptying ones! Do you think it's worth it? Also, I love that you added your credentials haha

[@jennifernguyen4277]

@BookswithEmilyFox totally worth it! I use the vacuum once or twice a week and I've only fully emptied it once in 5 months

[@dani5009]

On the negative comments subject, I’m sorry you’re seeing that on top of your health issues. Emily, you are an amazing person. Wish we could be besties in real life. Personally, I really enjoy your videos and I think you’re hilarious. I have read so many books because you’ve recommended them.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Thank you so much ❤

[@kirstens1977]

I think the cats in your area are telling the others cats to hit you up as you are an easy mark haha. Ignore the negative comments amd glad you are onbthe road to recovery ❤

[@AmyElizabethReads]

I LOVE that Grady Hendrix book! I'm so glad you ended up enjoying it. I felt like I was in the minority there.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I don't know why people don't love it as much!! SPOILERS I am slightly traumatized by the chainsaw scene though lol

[@juliager5702]

I’ve recently started “How to sell a haunted house”, and it immediately reminded me of when I was creeped out by a snowman figurine, because it had those bead eyes and definitely looked at me😂 had to lock it away😬 I guess after this book I’m never having anything even vaguely anthropomorphic in my house😅

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

LOL can't trust any of them after that book

[@mariyamak]

We've had a Roborock robot vaccum for exactly 3 years. Still going strong!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

3 years!! See that’s worth it 😂

[@kellymanfredini3835]

You rock! What people say about you says more about them than you. Ignore the negative Nancy's. I am here for the long vlogs! My fave color is green. Glad you are feeling better. I loved How to Sell a Haunted House.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

You must be loving the last couple years of trends, so much green! So do I, I love my green library!

[@kellymanfredini3835]

@BookswithEmilyFox yes!

[@GenieUnbottled]

I am on a Riley Sager kick, and am currently reading ‘Home Before Dark’

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I’d definitely recommend skipping “survive the night” and “the house across the lake” by him! I did like “the last time I lied” though

[@_ashleylh]

My skin is so sensitive to most moisturizers but us Canadians need the moisture this time of year! My favorite all over my body lotion is Palmer's Coco Butter 24 hours Everyday moisturizer. Yes - the same company that makes the moisturizer for pregnancy stretch marks. But the regular moisturizer is amazing for my sensitive skin and you naturally smell like hot chocolate!!!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I actually just got my first bottle of it! I didn't realize it was so small so I didn't feel too bad buying it before finishing the other one first lol Have you tried the Eucerin Complete Repair one? It's more expensive so I rotate other ones in between but last winter it saved my legs!

[@gg_23452]

I'm sooo glad you enjoyed How to sell a haunted house 😍bc sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who loved that book 😅

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

It was great! I don't know why people don't like it!

[@anshsaini640]

good video yet again, thank you love ❤️

[@sparklyunicorn5431]

Love your videos Emily!!! Wish i knew you IRL, we would definitely be friends!!😊

[@juliacash8135]

Ollie’s is a cheap store for lots of things. I got the Beneath the Keep book there to read actually. I get lots of good books used. They take books that stores like target and Walmart have lots of and in bulk and sell for cheap. I love going there.

[@panikiczcock2891]

I love the isntree cream and their SPF is my absolute favorite. I struggle with feet too, the sticky feeling is unbearable.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Their sunscreen is all I was using this summer!! No whitecast, lightweight... so good!

[@hdestiny95]

Careful not to overdo it when you are feeling better, could be why you are crashing after. Speaking from personal experience lol

[@federubiowenk2859]

I use a cecotec vacuum robot and it has not failed yet (it’s been working for like six months). I have the medium ranged $$

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Thank you for letting me know! I think I’m going to become a robot vacuum expert soon… looking up a million reviews 😂

[@federubiowenk2859]

@ share the knowledge!! I’d like to know :)

[@myriam8190]

Nuxe Rêve de Miel is my absolute fave of all time! Use it every day.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I noticed the new packaging, did they reformulate too? I saw they have one in their rose line too now, did you try it? I'll have to catch up to so much when I go back to the beauty channel XD

[@myriam8190]

@@BookswithEmilyFox I haven’t noticed a difference in the formula with the new packaging! ☺️But I didn’t check either haha. Haven’t tried the rose one… I’m not the biggest fan of rose scented things! I’ve stopped keeping up with new beauty products years ago ☠️

[@myriam8190]

@@BookswithEmilyFox faque je suis allée demander à l’ami Google : apparently they did reformulate it, it’s now got 100% ingredients of natural origin. But like I said, didn’t really notice a major change (maybe the texture is a little more silky?) and I still love it!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Haha google for the win! I'll have to give it a shot one day. It was a lifesaver when I did lip swatch videos but I know some people found the matte finish strange!

[@angelashepherd4429]

I just finished How to Sell a Haunted House. It was OK. Kinda of silly. 😊

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

All of his books kinda are so I was prepared lol

❤❤❤

[@franknunez7974]

[@MichelleP-t7o]

How to sale a haunted house is good. Puppets are creepy

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

They really are! It definitely worked on me 😭

[@eli5833]

In my opinion I don’t see it as being negative. It’s having criticism on what you read. I’d rather see criticism than see you read the synopsis and pretend to read it like some famous booktubers I unsubscribed long ago. I feel like people get defensive because 1. They like said book. Or 2. They already don’t like you. I mean whenever I don’t like a booktuber or their pets, I unfollow… if they’re still watching they’re fans. Moreover, don’t apologize wtf. It’s their issue.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Tbf I don't feel bad about my book opinions lol Mostly about me not being very happy but I feel like it's normal considering my health issues! I really appreciate the support

[@nebula9354]

I really enjoy your vlogs + hope you feel better bobo ♥️♥️

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Thank you ❤️
