That new angle is really not working for anyone... I'm gonna move it for the new videos... but I have a few prefilmed :/

[@joodii99]

@@BookswithEmilyFox I actually like this angle better but the camera's shifting focus is really annoying

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Me to my camera: bit.ly/2lLK1Kx If I do straight like here, it keeps trying to focus on my books. If I do it at an angle it's not as pretty but less unfocused... If I stop the autofocus I'll forget and ruin my beauty videos. Cant win lol

[@awkwardkiwi]

You're very welcome Emily (I'm the Kirsty from New Zealand). Hobbiton is amazing, I've been a couple of times now. I wish I lived closer to it, I'd go all the time. Stephen King - my favourites are Desperation and The Green Mile

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Thank you again! It's definitely on bucket list!! I'm not sure I'll ever be emotionally ready for The Green Mile tho 😂

[@natcommon]

I would love to see a Beginner’s Guide for Fantasy.

My favorite part of the video is that you look so much happier after this surgery. I hope you read them all and make more videos. I like watching your videos and your smile. 💕

[@laurafinocchiarostudios]

For witchy books I LOVED the Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman. I didn’t know when I started it that it was a prequel for Practical Magic. So Good!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I’m on the waiting list at my library!

[@ritapereira2546]

I’m so glad you are back and feeling good, I love your videos and your sense of humor. I would love to see a video about the ten books you have read of Stephen King

[@pixiewinchester]

The Mayfair Witches is one of my favorite series and The Witching Hour is the best of the series (and one of my very favorite books). I always want more backstory and Anne Rice definitely delivers all of those little details that I crave.

[@Steelersrockjj]

Glad to support the channel Emily! (Alexander from the US) 😁 I remember this book being one of my first reads for fun and I loved it. I haven't reread it since then, but I hope it holds up well!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Thank you again! I'm very excited to read it, I'm thinking about trying a bunch of popular children's books I've never had the chance to read soon :D

The Dead Zone is AMAZING! Such an underrated Stephen King book. Please don’t wait years to read it!

"Please don’t wait years to read it!" I'm feeling personally victimized here. 😂

[@georgieh7351]

I've heard that with Joe Abercrombie's new series, you have to read his first law trilogy and the other set of books in the same universe. Otherwise massive spoilers for everything!!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Thanks for letting me know! I have the first law trilogy on my shelves so I'll start with it :)

[@robpaul7544]

Oh please do! Very curious what you think of Abercrombie. I'm so hyped for everything that man writes 🤓

[@aliciacampos5789]

Me too! Well, his adult fantasies.

[@robpaul7544]

I liked the Half a King series too, had cool characters and some nice twists 😄

[@yrynoy]

The First Law trilogy is one of the best fantasy ever written.

[@angela-thebooknerdess2110]

Arrival was Ted Chiang and the story Arrival is from the book Stories of Your Life and Others. Ken Liu is also the translator of Liu Cixin Three Body Problem, all of them are amazing books.

[@Phillybookfairy]

Omg!!!! The Witching Hour is EPIC!! I love that story so so much. I recently found an original hardback of it, I read it like 20 years ago and need to do a reread!!!

[@Zoey1D]

0:06 I think it's safe to say Technology 10,000 vs. Emily 0

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Doing youtube videos definitely made this very clear for me... I can't win lol

[@nenerson1195]

I'm super excited about A Little Hatred, but if you want to avoid spoilers I wouldn't start with that.. It's part of Joe Abercrombie's First Law universe, and the suggested reading order is this: -The Blade Itself -Before They Are Hanged -Last Argument of Kings -Best Served Cold -The Heroes -Red Country -Sharp Ends -A Little Hated

[@ashcam24]

The Dark Half is in my top favorite Kings! Super good and fun. Gerald’s Game and Dead Zone are also really good!! Dead Zone is less horror but such a good story.

[@imaginarycosmetics]

I would love to see a video on Stephen King's books, I'm always intimidated by them

[@lilobutt625]

Pia Loves Color the best ones are Misery, the shinning, the gunslinger series and fire starter. I think the best place to start is fire starter (it’s what inspired stranger things specifically 11) misery is my favourite book of all time and is basically like a a criminal case in a book so if you like watching those kind of KZbin vids of documentaries you’ll love it and I’d recommend staying away from IT as a first it’s a dragggg and a half and made me hate king for a really long time. I hope I helped! 💕

[@shmizzleshmazzle9830]

I read an excerpt from Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice recently in an anthology and was so impressed that I'm planning on getting a bind up of the first three books of her Vampire Chronicles.

[@TBCaine]

big book hauls are always so aesthetically pleasing, I also totally started collecting the S.F. Masterworks thanks to always seeing your collection

[@LiliOV]

I just red Alice's adventures in wonderland and trough the looking glass and I totally loved it!!! I enjoyed the whole trip and I must say that its better even than the cartoon movie!! Happy reading Em!

[@slytherinslioness]

A Wrinkle In Time is part of a quintet, so if you enjoy it, there are more to read!

[@lidiagetmanskaya2810]

I like these ideas: Choosing a book after a chapter and Introduсing genres. Whatever goes for you, spoiler free preferably. Thank you for asking!

I would love to see a video about King’s books❤️ also I’m now going to wait for your review of Boy’s life and see if it’s worth the read🙃

[@lisaneville6155]

Aw. A Wrinkle In Time was my favourite growing up. My active imagination looooooved it. Hope you enjoy it.

[@zsofiandrassy5874]

I wanted to recommend Witchmark for a witchy book but then I saw that it's on your wishlist already... and then I saw the funny comments you left there :D hilarious. I started college (and have 2 cats) so I don't have that much to spare, but I just might buy you some tea or patches for your pillow :D 5/7 would save a pillow anyday

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Thank you 😂❤️ I really want to read that book I keep hearing great things and that cover really attracts the eye... Idk why I've been a bit too influenced by covers lately lol

[@Katelynwouldratherbereading]

I read the Paper Menagerie a few years ago and loved it!! There are a couple of duds/really dry, odd stories, but overall definitely worth the read. Hope you enjoy it!

[@laurarivera2906]

After you read Practical Magic, I highly recommend you pick up The Rules of Magic. It’s a prequel to Practical Magic and it’s all about the aunts. I loved it!!

[@aliciacampos5789]

The Witching Hour! I read it a long time ago and really liked it. I don’t remember it having a lot of romance or sex. Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice is a great book. It is more than just a vampire book. It is about loss and grief.

[@twilightrocksmysocks]

I've been really loving the Tiffany Aching Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. It's a unique take on witchcraft and absolutely hilarious. I recommend listening to the audio book, the narrator does an incredible job.

[@nicholemohler2918]

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Blackwing. I recently read Crowfall and the entire series is fantastic! Crowfall is right up there with Holy Sister on my favorites list this year. Also, I love Practical Magic! The book and movie are great

[@cindyb5841]

The Dead Zone is one of my favourites by Stephen King. Fun fact some of the movie adaptation was shot in the town of Niagara On The Lake Ontario which is about 20 minutes from where I live. The gazebo scene the gazebo is still there too :)

[@ChasingHyperfixation]

damn.... Emily's evil twin Snow Globe Emily keep trying to steal the spotlight 😂

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

That bich... In Sunday's video we're competing and it's gonna be one hell of a video 😂

[@Paul_the_Bookworm]

My favourite witches stories are from Terry Pratchett's witches novels in the Discworld series. Specifically Wyrd Sister and especially Witches Abroad which is one of my favourites from the entire series.

[@ReiraWrites]

If you want to read peculiar short stories, you should try Haruki Murakami's books! And I'd also recommend 'Where Rainbows end' by Cecelia Ahern, both funny and heartbreaking (you may have seen the film adaptation 'Love, Rosie).

[@tylerl.2268]

I'm currently reading Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell, which is about magic and I'm lovely it. The first 100 pages are pretty slow but after that the story really gets going

[@evergreencarter3494]

I think 'A little hatred' takes place in the same universe as previous Joe Abercrombie books. I'd start with the first book in his First Law trilogy 'The Blade Itself'. Or if you're looking for something lighter and quicker, the Shattered Sea trilogy that begins with 'Half a king' :)

[@Kpopheaven]

That poetry book by Amanda Lovelace woke my interest :) I don't read poetry that much but her books seems interesting. Your book taste is good, even tho I don't read much scifi :D But you always got me interested about books that I would not pick up myself but I still really wanna read them.

[@anonymousreader3679]

The Mayfair Witches, i.e The Witching Hour, ties into her vampire series. The two subsequent book are Lasher and Taltos. Loved the series! Read it when I was 14/15. The Dead Zone is a brilliant book. Gerald's Game is disturbing. Enjoy!

[@mardzipanpan]

Yes! That Ken Liu short story collection is amazing. Please read it soon! I personally prefer him over Ted Chiang.

[@ladywinchester2673]

I'm halfway through The Dead Zone and I am absolutely loving it so far. I highly recommend it!

[@elizabennet7397]

Oh I envy you for A Little Hatred (already pre ordered it btw), I have read all of his novels and recommend you to start with The Blade Himself (actually just read the whole trilogy, they are very very good if you like grim fantasy), this would be the one I'll start among all the books in the video. His novels are great on audio as well. As for Stephen King, both The Dark Half and The Dead Zone are very good but I pick Dead Zone if I had to choose.

[@Amanda-dn4ld]

The Paper Menagerie is AMAZING! I hope you love it!

[@Dragondarkness30]

For Anne Rice I suggest reading Interview with the Vampire and no her books are not all sexual she does have a couple books in a small series that are but they are not all like that. The Vampire Chronicles are different. I highly suggest reading Interview first before starting The Witching Hour I heard its great as well though I still need to read it. Interview is a great book.

[@kyra8138]

I own all of Amanda Lovelace's books. You don't have to read Princess before Witch since Witch in my opinion is better. I would recommend going back to reading it after, if you enjoy her work.

[@ameliamalorni34]

You really should do a video about Stephen King!! He’s my favourite author also Id like to hear your opinion on him and his books.

[@Erdnussbuttertoast]

nooo, not a 2nd ps i love you movie is coming out, but cecelia ahern is coming out with a sequel book called "Post Script", on September 19th =) it is possible, though, that the movie rights have already been acquired. I'm so freaking excited for it, she's my fave author

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Damn it seems like I mixed things up... too many books, too many movies... not enough brain cells lol

[@Marie45610]

Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice is probably my favorite book of all time. Fun fact, she wrote the script for the movie, which is why it's one of the best adaptations.

@@lindseyshugg8900 Do you think I can skip Interview with the vampire since I watched the movie and don't want to read the story I already know? Or should I readit anyway and then continue with the series?

[@lindseyshugg8900]

@@normagruden You could skip the book. The movie is pretty close. Maybe read a quick online synopsis that might outline the differences between book and movie. There are a few differences that become relevant in later books, but nothing too major.

I’m reading The Dead Zone right now for the first time and really liking it! It’s a little more episodic feeling than his other novels but still very compelling. Curious to see which one of those mystery/thriller arcs you end up reading!

[@LiteraryStoner]

I recently finished The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories! I enjoyed it over-all. Happy reading. :)

[@Rank.Roundup]

Anne Rice is one of my favorite authors - especially this time of year going into the fall. Her writing is so atmospheric! I read “The Witching Hour” years ago, and I remember really liking it. He books aren’t romance-heavy like you’re thinking. You should give it a shot!

[@ivingzuniga841]

Oh and that Joe Abercrombie book? I heard it’s part of a big series. It is a new story but set in the same world. Like Six of Crows.... people say you don’t “need” to read TGT in order to enjoy it but it’s certainly much better to do so.

[@gothamoracle]

I started reading Anne Rice since I was 13 years old. The Witching Hour is a favorite

[@LisbethJimenez]

For me A Wrinkle in Time is iconic. I re-read that book quite a few times. Whenever someone says they didn't care for it I think sacrilege Can't wait to hear your opinion :) I read The Witching Hour and that is when I learned that great authors can create great messes. I read it all the way through and was so angry at myself for not DNF'ing.

[@romyhanel]

Interesting selection of books, hope you'll enjoy all of them! I'm in the process of reading all of Stephen King's novels in chronological order (1 per month, will only take me about 8 years...) so a video about your experience with his books would be cool. I read The Dead Zone a year ago and enjoyed it (4 stars) and remember liking The Dark Half as well (read it about 15 years ago). Happy weekend! ;)

[@emmasmith4833]

If you want witches read 'Equal Rites' by Terry Pratchett. It's one of his discworld novels. I think I've seen it on your shelves before (sorry if you've already read it. I haven't made it through all your videos yet). Granny Weatherwax is amazing!

[@robpaul7544]

Yes, was thinking about a Pratchett to recommend! So many good choices..

[@Tan4eTyYy]

I'm interested to see what you think of Anne Rice's The Witching Hour. I read that book a while a go but some parts are still fresh in my memory. There were a lot of disturbing stuff in it.

[@denisa3800]

What? Practical magic is a book?? I need this book ASAP :D movie is great and I am curious, thank you for this discovery!

[@PetrikLeo]

A Little Hatred is amazing. One of my favorite reads of the year! However, if you have some time, read at least The First Law trilogy first. Not only it's one of the best character-driven grimdark fantasy, it will also helps making A Little Hatred a better read!

[@theBookMage]

For A Little Hatred I'm pretty sure it follows on from the First Law series, I'm not 100% sure but I think you have to read those first? Otherwise it spoils some things for those books. Just a heads up as I'm also about to get into the First Law universe this month! ^__^

[@janiceknepp4604]

A wrinkle in time book is very different from the movie and I remember reading the paper managire in college and liking it.

[@aliciacampos5789]

A Little Hatred is my most anticipated book of the year. You need to have read the first trilogy, though, as this is the follow up. That trilogy is my favorite fantasy series. It can be brutal, but it is so smart and full of dark humor, as well as very well written. Besides being super entertaining, it has a lot to say about power (political, religious, economic), those pulling the strings and those being pulled, about war and violence, and the choices individuals make.

The Enchantment of Ravens actually has some pretty mixed reviews, at least from what I have heard. I really wanted to read it when it first came out because it is beautiful, but the reviews kind of scared me off. But if you end up liking it I might give it a chance!

[@Jenbebookish]

A Little Hatred is more like the beginning of a new SEGMENT of his First Law series. I’m fairly sure you’d be missing out on a lot if you just dove right in without reading the other series first! Let us know when you decide to read the First Law trilogy tho because I’ll definitely jump in on a buddy read for that!!! And I can’t believe you don’t like the cover of The Last! I thought it was gorgeous! I love a good English-manor-kinda-thing;);)

I love Wicked, but its more fantasy world. The Sweep series is great, though its YA and of course Practical Magical. Love a Stephen King video from you. I like videos on people's thoughts on him. What books they recommend, how they rate him, where to start.

[@ericavandegrift6219]

I don’t know if anyone else mentioned this but The Dead Zone was made into a tv series starring Anthony Michael Hall (the nerd in The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles). I only watched the first season but I enjoyed it. PS I Love You is VERY different from the movie. I DNFed it.

[@janinahangas6983]

Anne Rice is a master of ambiance, perfect for autumn. I do recommend that you start from the beginning with the vampire chronicles, or some of her stand-alone books (Cry to heaven is my favorite). She creates characters that are so complex and human (especially the vampires). Sadly her newer books are not as good in my opinion ☹️

Would you consider making a video on steampunk recommendations? I'd love to start reading stories in that setting but I really struggle to know where to begin!

[@Candy.9610]

I've read the dark half and i was pleasantly surprised! It has to do with an author (Thad) writing books under his own name and under a pseudonym and one day that other part of him becomes 'real' and starts killing people. But all the fingerprints and stuff point to Thad but he obviously didn't kill anyone and so the story begins ... Maybe you'd want to know (I didn't know this before reading the dark half) that this book, the dead zone and needful things are somewhat connected. I believe the order in which to read them to not miss any details or references are 1) the dead zone 2)the dark half 3) needful things

[@winternight809]

I see you've gotten a few comments about an Enchantment of Ravens already, but... yeah. I recommend tempering your hopes a little bit, because based on your initial hopes I -think- you will be disappointed if you don't 😬 That said, I did actually like the book! There were aspects of it which were very YA typical and I didn't really enjoy the romance, but I still had a good time reading it. I very much enjoyed Rogersons vision of the fae world, it made me sort of nostalgic to how my imagination used to be, if that makes sense? Lol. - There were just so many beautiful little details that, to me, made it worth reading. I liked the parts about painting too, and I quite liked some of the characters - I think you might like the youngers siblings of the main character in particular 😁 All in all, I don't think it was shit like some of the other commenters, but it's also not great. For me personally though, it was still well worth the read.

[@Nicoleheartsbooks]

Never read a mystery/ thriller but I’ve started picking some of your recommendations up and I’m going to give it a try and see how I go. I’m usually strictly fantasy with maybe a contemporary every now and then so I’m excited to branch into something new 🤞🏻😊 (fingers crossed I like them)

[@cussundriakneal9904]

An Enchantment of Ravens was an interesting book, buuuut i already know you're not gonna enjoy it much. Its not plot focused, at all, its heavily character focus, but that book leaves you with more questions than you had starting off, which REALLY turned me off after i read it. The only thing i found outstanding of that book was the portrayal of the fey, it was very new and different, but at the same time, when most people think of fey, you think of THAT. But most authors have a problem of humanizing fey, for some reason, so that will probably be fun for you to read. And the Wrinkle of Time is going to be a fun ride for you. The movie is really good too, so go watch it after you read the book, so i can't wait for your review on that.

[@greymyers4087]
