Probably a hot take, but I think I would like The Poppy War by N.K. Jemisin more than by R.F.Kuang, because Jemisin tends to be subtler with her themes.

I would love if you did this again but with books you gave like 3 stars and maybe with more hit-and-miss authors because then it's even more interesting if maybe a meh book could become a favourite or a hated book with the right or wrong author Also I wish you lingered longer and speculated more on how the book would be different But really fun video format!

@@BookswithEmilyFox Am I the only one who thinks this could be great? A woman goes to work as a servant for an affluent couple. The book is about the difficult relationship between the two women, and the draw she begins to feel for the man. Then the third act twist would be done much more interestingly and subtly... But I think the final twist & the ending would be completely different.

It by Emily Henry is such a cursed combination and I want it because I feel like it would alter something about the fabric of the universe by its mere existence. Also, rip for saying the only worse author for Ice Planet Barbarians would be Murakami and then pulling that combo in round two. Just pretend you drew Jane Austen instead.

Night circus written by RF kuang is a fantastic combo. RF Kuang loves sprinkling real facts and anecdotes into her stories, so we will not only get fun tidbits about the circus but an immersive world-building, and actual competition.

I love the mix and match style of putting books and authors together, there were some very interesting combinations. If you redo this type of video please could you consider adding a section at the end where you choose the combinations e.g. picking “Part of Your World” and picking an author who could either improve on this book or match the level of the book, with the rule that you can’t pick the actual author of that work. It would have been intriguing to see what books and authors you would have matched together, of course keeping it in the style that you can only match them up once - so you would have to be careful with what book or author you are left picking from at the end. Love your videos, can’t wait to see what other fun things you come up with.❤
