[@emmyrosam]

🥰

[@daphne.readsnl]

So many good books I already read and the rest of them I really want to read soon! Can't wait to dive into ZA 😍

[@emmyrosam]

sounds like you have great book taste!!

[@emie4050]

metal slinger has been on my tbr, but the hype scared me so i was waiting to read it! you've definitely convinced me to move it up the tbr, hopefully i read it before the end of the year!

[@jackielowrey3032]

Your intro is so unique and adorable Emmy! I also got into fantasy romance this year I read Acotar in January and immediately reread it, dove head first into Throne of Glass, and then Crescent City. I haven’t gone a day without reading since! Side note-I didn’t want to read FBAA because Rachel didn’t like it at all. After watching your vlog reading it I decided to buy the first book on kindle. Omg I’m obsessed! I can’t believe Rachel rated it 2 stars. It’s a 5 star read for me. It’s made me feel some time of way! I’ve been giggling through the whole book lol. The banter is everything. ❤

[@readingwkatelyn]

thank YOU for recommending Metal Slinger!! it's a new fav of mine :)

[@irismartins5500]

Finally someone agreeing with me that This Woven Kingdom is better than shatter me!! 🥺

[@kasjo78]

Starting a go fund me to get Emmy a Christmas mug! 😜🎄 Another great video!!

[@emmyrosam]

omg you'll never believe this!! my sister bought me one and I don't even think I can get it off her until AFTER bookmas now 🤣

[@kasjo78]

@ Ha!! Now you’ll have one for Bookmas 2025! 🎄😉

[@emmaskapetis7603]

We have such similar book tastes (I've read most of these books). I love the Zodiac academy series and I can't see why people don't like it either. Also ACOTAR and Throne of glass series are some of my favorites and they were one of the first fantasy books I ever read.

[@caitlin-km]

okayyyy fiiine ill add the book of Azrael to my tbr 😂

[@nicolewalton8786]

Just wanna thank you for bringing Metal Slinger into my life ❤

[@proseandcons7730]

[@annibtj]

sooo many good books this year 🫶

[@emmyrosam]

I don't know how we could possibly top it next year!!

[@Summer-LillieBaldwin]

I'm officially all caught up with your videos! Absolutely love your channel Emmy 💕! Quite gutted to find out that your merch wont be available in new year 🥺 i really hoping to get a 5 stars is a feeling sweater after Christmas 😢. Looking forward to the rest of Bookmas☺️🥳 xxxxx

[@emmyrosam]

It will be available for a little while so people who get giftcards for Christmas etc can have it but not sure how far into 2025 it will be up for! 💖

[@Summer-LillieBaldwin]

@emmyrosam awwww thank you so much for letting me know!! 😍

[@brianas6392]

I just read metal slinger thanks to you…. Literally just finished it like 10 minutes ago🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️when I tell you I am IN SHOCK because of that ending

[@lilyblum]

apparently powerless is quite literally copy and pasted of the red queen series by victoria aveyard, i would love for you to read that series! :)

[@emmyrosam]

I have read Red Queen! I would say a plot summary in a couple sentences they sound the same but reading them both they were VERY different. I think Victoria Aveyard paved the way and created a whole new subgenre of fantasy books with Red Queen and can see how she has inspired so many books but I don't think Powerless or Red Queen read similarly at all. Powerless is more of a romance set in a fantasy world, heavily character and dialogue focused. Red Queen is definitely more fantasy, dystopian rebellion with a sub plot of romance but plot focused. I could see where inspiration was taken but they both read like completely different stories - similarly in the same way every games & trials dystopian YA book are all similar ☺

[@lilyblum]

@@emmyrosam Oh I didn't know! I just recently found your channel and am now bingeing haha, love your insights so much!

[@emmyrosam]

@@lilyblum i would say it's definitely a completely different vibe (just a similar general plot idea) so if you didn't like Powerless you might still love Red Queen!! It definitely reads more like a fantasy than a romantasy and has more plot to it 🥰

[@jessamyn-jewelmcgrath2775]

Holy macaroni I’m early!! Also I’m a new follower from Australia 🇦🇺

[@emmyrosam]

thank you for watching 🥰

[@blimeyifancyreading]

Ooo no, I bloody hate cliffhangers. That's why I stopped The Fourth Wing and The Blood and Ash series - look dragged out those became. I had the pleasure of enjoying ToG with the entire series on my hands. That's even magical.

[@naomiking7518]

❤❤❤

[@melindabiddy7165]

What do you recommend for someone who doesn't like a lot of steamy but really enjoy the slow burn romance?

[@emmyrosam]

I’d be looking at YA romances, closed door romances (which means no steamy scenes on page) or authors who write very minimal spice! Authors Lynn Painter (for her YA books), Emily Henry & Abby Jimenez. I’ve not read too many romance books so I don’t have that many recommendations but I know Sarah Adam’s is a popular romance author who writes closed door romances!

[@melindabiddy7165]

@emmyrosam thank you. I will check these out.

[@hollyparsons4234]

And Carly fortune and Annabel Monaghan! Very Emily Henry Esque beautiful romances 🩷🩷🩷

[@pia5644]

WHERE DID YOU BUY THE MINDFCK SERIES??? i need the physical book😭😭

[@emmyrosam]

EBay!!!

[@bookish22]

You used the same advent calendar clip in the beginning as your last video?

[@emmyrosam]

Oh no that’s an editing error I must have used the wrong file 😭 at least it’s only 1 clip 🥲 not worth removing the entire video for a re upload but it was a different coloured pod 💔 good spot, I don’t know how I missed that!!

[@bookish22]

@ it’s cus I watched your last two videos back to back and thought huh I swear that’s the same pod I just watched😂

[@whatsjulesreading]

I bought the sweatshirt 2 mins after the launch and I still don’t have it I am so sad

[@emmyrosam]

Have you contacted nembroideries for an update? 💖

[@whatsjulesreading]

@ Yes I did and she is the kindest person on earth, but apparently I need to repay the shipping to get it and I am to scared of not receiving it so I asked for a refund
