[@BookswithEmilyFox]

What's the last book you got your hands on? :D

[@basho4306]

How to be both by Ali Smith :)

[@celiananaze]

Agnès Grey by Anne Brontë, not read yet but I can't wait ! love your videos btw :)

[@gerchiaolifant5176]

It's been forever. I'm ashamed. 😧😥

[@Lorena-ey7px]

grisha trilogy

[@baeticat]

I bought The Way of Kings recently and it's fantastic!

[@nocturnus009]

Quarterly hauls please. With drop in segments of the library & audio aquired goodness.

[@Cassia_L]

I like huge hauls instead of monthly ones, personally. But whatever is more convenient for you is fine by me. I got my hands on Defy Me by Tahereh Mafi, Persepolis 1&2 and the Long Way to a Small Angry Planet (finished it already, it was a nice read) and the next 2 books in the series.

[@OhsnapitsinaBe]

The thumbnail is me whenever I don't think that I need a shopping cart, but I do. I really do.

[@niniininiaeb475]

Great video, what about a bookshelf tour??? 😀

[@literalfruit1238]

A fantasy book with a school setting is ‘the school for good and evil’. It’s written by Soman Chainani, it’s a series but they are very good books

[@severusslave]

That second when "I Contain Multitudes" wobbled.

[@DarkMistyDay]

YAY UNHAUL!!! I love those :) as for when you do hauls, just do whatever you want/whatever is most convenient for you.

[@pollyh9025]

What a bless to wake up a Saturday to a new Emily's video

[@Jenbebookish]

Polly H totally!

[@Inmylibrary]

7:28 I'm the complete opposite; if I'm told the book doesn't have romance then I tend to lose interest in it or I will push it way back on my tbr 😆 Kings of the Wyld and Skyward are the only two books that I can think of that I've LOVED despite them not having romance.

[@froncifresh]

Ohhh that makes me happy, i've just ordered the kings of the wyld! Will you be reading the sequel?

[@Inmylibrary]

@@froncifresh It is such a fantastic story. I hope you love it 😁 And yes, absolutely! It's on my shelf waiting to be read ❤❤❤

[@abigase135]

The Witchlands is an amazing series, you've already read Truthwitch and the series gets even better, also the third book already came out this year. I really recomend this series, it's definitely a favorite of mine although I didn't enjoy the novella (Sightwitch). I hope you like it!

[@WhitnyeK86]

The Sue Grafton one is an entire series based on the alphabet. The first is A is for Alibi. It’s a good series, sadly she passed away so the books only got to the letter Y. But still worth the read. 😊

[@SheIsAnOpenBook]

I just purchased Red Sister by Mark Lawrence because of your videos and how much you love the series! I am so excited to finally give it a try! 💕

[@themegagamesgamer]

I just started the Legion Novella collection as well! As for books, The Baker's Boy by J.V Jones (Book Of Words #1) Off Armageddon Reef by David Weber (Safehold #1) Echoes of The Great Song by David Gemmell (Standalone) and Furies of Calderon by Jim Butcher (Codex Alera #1)

[@marystuart83]

Yes to monthly hauls!😀💞

[@crazybiogeek]

If you are reading Matt Haig, I recommend his book "How to Stop Time". My dad made me borrow his copy and I actually super loved it. I'm sad because he'll never have a chance to read other Matt Haig books. I plan on getting The Humans sometime because you enjoyed it and recommend it.

[@nohungryghosts]

I’m sure it’s been recc’d before, but if you want to read more nonfiction Mary Roach is a great author to try! Stiff is my favorite.

[@catharinaribaric9197]

Em, you need to read Robin Hobb!! I suggest starting with Assassin's Apprentice. I think you will love it!

[@emilyberardi3126]

I love this book ❤️

[@catharinaribaric9197]

@@emilyberardi3126 it's one of my favorites!

[@readernac13]

I just love seeing what your going to read whether it's one you bought, an e-book, or borrowed from a friend or library. I love hearing your reviews on the books you've read because they are always so interesting and informative. I'm reading A Discovery of Witches and Mistborn and I have Nevernight, Scythe, and Strange the Dreamer waiting at the top of my TBR. Happy Reading!!!❤📚❤

[@chaddreyes8937]

Oooh Sue Grafton! She used to be my favorite author. I read all her books from A to U. I stopped at U because I find that I haven't been enjoying her books. But now I want to continue.

[@ramblingsofgabby]

Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig is not a novel but a memoir. I don't want to say more because I like going in to books blind, but I believe being aware its non fiction is essential so you don't set your expectations on it being another The Humans. Also as a BS in biology I Contain Multitudes is well done and informative for the general public.

[@sackmet]

Have you ever read anything from Tamora Pierce? She writes fantasy and YA. You should try the Song of the Lioness quartet, Wild Magic quartet and The Protector of the Small quartet. They are set in the same universe but with different protagenists. Starting with Alanna. She started publishing in the 80s and the books suffer a little because of huge time jumps, especially for the Alanna quartet, but as Tamora Pierce herself said. Harry Potter was a huge game changer as it showed the publishers that children and teenagers were willing to read big books. There is also the circle series, which is set in a completely different universe, where you follow four children, learning magic.

[@leticiatoraci9855]

I'm either way fine with monthly or quarterly, only that I would like videos specially with hauls and reviews of Audiobooks. I often get undecided about what to get on Audible.

[@AlyssLysie]

I loved “I contain multitudes”!!!

[@amusicalbookworm]

I like watching a long quarterly book haul, but it’s totally up to you!!

[@emmavanweert1013]

My mum absolutely loved How about Time (or something like that) by Matt Haig. And it's about someone who's been alive for a long long time or relives his life or something similar. You might enjoy it too!

[@martamorrison2828]

The Sue Grafton novel is a part of the alphabet books by her. She started with A is for Alibi.

[@kelseyhastings1559]

Here are a few of my favorite thrillers that you might enjoy too! No Exit by Taylor Adams The Last Time I lied by Riley Sager Before She Knew Him by Peter Swanson Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter Watch the Girls by Jennifer Wolfe Happy reading and thanks for all the wonderful content!

[@KeriJo12]

I think you would like the Discovery of Witches trilogy by Deborah Harkness. It has romance, but it's also fantasy, magic, and a school setting, but it's a historic university setting, which was really refreshing! Witches, vampires, daemons, and my favorite scene was actually in the lab discussing the genetic differences between the 3. Lol. Happy reading!

[@leticiatoraci9855]

I can understand this of being overwhelmed with so many books. I am fortunately at an age where I know what I like to read and it isn't a surprise anymore if I pick a genre I don't like and I end up not liking the book, the last book I just told myself to stop getting the wrong sort of book was when I tried to read "The Library at Mount Char" and definitely didn't like it. So I can already sort out the new stuff from genres like Horror, for example, that I know I won't enjoy. It gets less overwhelming if you buy only what has a fair chance of being your taste.

[@skygirl15]

I love fiction and fantasy, but I try to balance as close as possible to a 50-50 with non-fiction. I read earlier this year I contain multitudes and it’s soooo goood! You’ll definitely enjoy is and is very fascinating - really great content about how much impact microbes have in the world.

[@kaylaalbers1153]

Yes, monthly!

[@SBrown-og3nr]

Nothing. I have picked up nothing lately, and that makes me sad. On the other hand, I'm slowly getting through all the books on my shelves that I hadn't read yet (I'm almost finished with what's been released in the Mistborn Series, and will pick up Way of Kings next) AND I've been utilizing my library more, so yay? I do know Book Outlet is having a sale in the next week or two, so I may do some shopping then. I like the 'book haul when you have a bunch of books' over book haul every month.

[@gerchiaolifant5176]

The content I've been waiting for! 💖 Do whatever you want. I get excited for either really.

[@elizabennet7397]

It is very interesting to see how other people choose which books to buy and I'm all for monthly updates. Three of the novels I have purchased lately are upon your recommendation (I'll Give You The Sun, Dark Matter and The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle) and all three I wouldn't have chosen otherwise. I'll be lucky if I even like one of them :)

[@picklejuice2]

I love BIG hauls so I vote that you do them every few months ☺️

[@menollyalexis]

I just finished The Broken Earth Trilogy and OMG so good! And I just ordered Nevernight and CANNOT wait! I also vote for monthly or quarterly hauls :)

[@emalemon6427]

The Daevabad trilogy is adult fantasy based on Djinns. It's set in Cairo and it's great! The City of Brass and it's sequel the Kingdom of Copper are out now :) big chonks of books but the action is great so you fly through it. Am so intrigued by all these books! The tbr list gets longer! 😂

[@skullfullofbooks7398]

OMG I LOVE Sue Grafton. She is fantastic and made a great series. The alphabet ends at Y. 😥 FYI my library has every single book in audiobook form. I know you rock the overdrive app so it might be worth checking out if you like M.

[@Jenbebookish]

Kim E why no Z?

[@lisaswartz4633]

Hey Emily. Two thoughts. Sue Grafton book is a series. “A is for Alibi “ is the first one and the series goes thru the whole alphabet. The Michael Crichton book is pretty good. It was pretty technical learning how a plane works. Thank you for your channel. 🌸🌸🌸

[@koalasrock99]

Wow legion sounds kind of like the tv show sense8 I might have to pick it up now

[@katiegran3684]

I like the monthly book haul idea 😊

[@TheMelodramaticBookworm]

Wow! So many books! The last book I got was 'Cobalt Blue', though 'My Sister, the Serial Killer' is coming home tomorrow. :)

[@AwkardBookShenanigans]

I actually like when you wait longer and then the videos are longer too :D Also, I love the SF Masterworks collection and I've started collecting them myself as well :D

[@celiananaze]

I don't think I've ever been this early...but I'm totally ready to make my tbr grow !

[@charityyoder9028]

An "older" mystery series that I really enjoy is the Lincoln Rhyme books by Jeffrey Deaver. The first book is the Bone Collector and it was published in 1998. I personally think they're hilarious.

[@michaelspitz5345]

Last year I read The Hound of Rowan, the first book in The Tapestry series by Henry Neff. It gave me Harry Potter vibes, but I liked it. Been looking for the second one on my secondhand stores, no luck. The Iron Trial is another good one too. Both series are middle grade. Do a monthly book haul. Great haul this month! 😁

[@joodii99]

I started reading I contain multitudes a couple months ago and I had to stop coz school but it was soo good I wished I was a tree just to be able to read it

[@elisabethsparacia4636]

I recommend you the shannara chronicles

[@haileylong581]

You’re so adorable and I love hearing your opinions

[@DebbieChristina]

Reasons To Stay Alive is on my TBR as well, you should know that it is a memior which according to Goodreads is inspired by his experience with depression. I am really excited to read this but also a bit apprehensive because I am afraid it might effect my mental health 😅 And I like seeing the book hauls quarterly. And maybe you could mention the books you got from the library as well (audiobooks/ebooks), or do a separate library haul.

[@LulaRu]

If you want a non-fiction book (which also has que prettiest cover EVER) you should read The Romanovs by Simon Sebag Montefiore

[@DeeDeeCatMom]

Great Haul! I just started Red Sister last night (or whatever the first one is called) and I bought The Humans at a used book store a few weeks ago :) If you're ever in Ottawa you should check out the Black Squirrel Cafe and used book store- they have the best stuff! Also, Books on Beechwood is a lovely bookstore with a very nice curated selection of titles and Penguin merch. Anyway, I hope you're enjoying the spring thaw- the snow in my backyard melted yesterday!

[@barbaramoignard6082]

I recommend Ursula LeGuin and Robin Hobb. If you haven't read them you will be in for a treat.

[@SewFun]

I would love to see monthly hauls, but obviously, whatever works best for you. You've absolutely convinced me, btw, that I'm going to start the Mark Lawrence books. I don't really like GrimDark, I'm more of a HopePunk person and his first series was way too dark for me, but you like this one so much I'm looking forward to giving it a try.

[@MontSe1001]

A biology nonfiction! That book made me think of a podcast I'm currently binging that I think you would really like, it's called This Podcast Will Kill You and every episode two awesome ladies go over the biology, history and current impact of a different disease. It's specially nice since at the end of every episode they cite their sources + have a goodreads list (These Books Will Kill You) which has inspired me to pick up a ton of super interesting biology nonfiction I wouldn't have known about otherwise! Love you💕

[@shmizzleshmazzle9830]

I've been thinking about getting the Hyperion books for years so I'm looking forward to your opinion. I've read Carrion Comfort by Simmons and even though it was too long and kind of a mess it was a really great horror novel.

[@readernac13]

The last book I bought and I'm reading is A Discovery of Witches and so far I'm half way through and really enjoying it❤📚

[@starry_worlds]

I think you'll enjoy Reasons to Stay Alive. It's a memoir but It's really good and life changing.

[@shailjanimavat468]

I just finished Aurora Rising by Aimee Kaufman and Jay Kristoff and I'm in love😍

[@rachaelhmack]

If you'd like to read more Michael Crichton I highly recommend Timeline. It's my second favorite after Jurassic Park.

[@iphisnextdoor]

My bookstore always has those classic scifi books on sale and I think of you every time I see them, haha

[@delanceyprince7300]

AH! I'm reading "I Contain Multitudes" by Ed Yong right now! The cover is so so gorgeous. I'm a clinical dietetics student with a special interest in the gut microbiome, and I think the book has been so interesting! Definitely eye opening. Microbiology is wild! I hope you like it

[@kiraironskin]

I like monthly tbr videos.^^ Well, I have some authors I want to read everything he/she writes, but I always check the summary and if I don't like it, I skip it ^^ I love Marie Lu, but I wasn't interested in her Catwoman / or was it Superman? - book. Thx for this video 😊

[@ACourtofHooksAndBooks]

You should do a video every year about all the books you've preordered

[@karakask5488]

About Matt Haig (an author I love): Reasons is non-fiction and about his experience with depression, it's wonderful and inspiring. The Radleys is great, I hope you like it!

[@lesleythegreater]

I contain multitudes is a cool book I think you'll enjoy it!

[@ClassyCarlaa]

I’d love to get you to post videos on like first books cause I love your channel believe me it’s just hard to go through all your videos to find the first books of the ones you post in your monthly videos. Think you can do that Emily? I’d love to have a video of all your first books in a series and single books! Let me know what you think. Much love

[@dangerousateveryspeed]

not quite book-related -- but would you consider making a video about learning a second language and how you reached fluency? x

[@dpier6]

I’m excited for the unhaul! As for the hauls, doesn’t matter to me how you decide to post them.

[@nicholemohler2918]

I just finished Holy Sister today. Amazing!

[@nherbooks]

That edition of Legion is beautiful! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Godsgrave!! I hope you loved it

[@chantalfleury3493]

I still think you need to finish the Black Prism series by Brent Weeks, they’re amazing as audiobooks

[@ishaengineer8326]

Hey emily ! I really like your videos.Just a little suggestion. Please write the names of the books in the description. I want to read more of scifi book you mention.

[@kimberlyrichardson3746]

I love book hauls; they give me ideas or let me know if I am or am not interested in a book!!! I think you should do them whenever is good for you though and, of course, I'll be watching!!! I just read Reasons To Stay Alive by Matt Haig and I thought it was great!!! :)))))

[@alyssar3697]

Isn’t the Sue Grafton book part of a series ? for some reason i think she has a book for every letter of the alphabet

[@sophiasthoughts]

Most interesting magic system I've read recently, other than Sanderson of course, was in foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett. Please check it out, I think you'll love it

[@elodie2096]

😰😰😰 I’ve read the Radleys and ... it was mostly annoying I have to say ... l’m willing to hear your thoughts on this one 🤔 I’m curious I’m super curious to read the Holy sisters series but I’m not sure I’m gonna like it so I’m gonna ask my library to order at least the1st one 🧐🧐🧐🧐 Love you 😘

[@viennabooks741]

Nonfiction Recommendations Video? “I contain multitudes” sounds interesting. I would just be scared that I would never pick it up once it was on my shelf 🙈 Would really like to read more non fiction. Recently read “Educated” and really enjoyed it.

[@nataliemorales979]

Please do your book hauls monthly!

[@jaimeslibrary]

i just finished godsgrave yesterday and i was shook and deceased and my wig hit the ceiling. i hope you love it emily!! 💕

[@kierra2208]

I'm so with you about thrillers these days having the same domestic trope. They're all starting to sound and read the same, and it doesn't help that I don't like them much either.

[@speaking_bookish]

Nevernight and godsgrave... love them so much 💜💜💜

[@Jenbebookish]

4:59 what did you say? Magic link to what? Mats?

[@anonymousreader3679]

Unsure if anyone told you, but Sue Grafton is a series. Starts with A and got up to Y before she passed away. Good luck with Matt Haig; really enjoyed The Humans, everything else I read by him was meh. Everyone has different tastes. I read The Radleys and How to Stop Time.

[@diegobeachbooks6796]

Great haul! Thanks!

[@carolreyes4327]

Best t shirt ever. 😄 Either way you like! Monthly or a big haul ;)

[@priscillareads]

Yay to Binti!!! Also I gotta read the holy sister books

[@leahnpatton]

There’s a new adult science fiction release called The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling that I just picked up and thought of you! It’s about space caves and seems spooky

[@rn2hlf794]

monthly

[@sareg4122]

Have you read Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas? It's YA mystery thriller. It was so good. I didint see what's coming. I recommend it. I saw people who guess what happens in the end so maybe you will figure everything out before the end but I still recomend it. 😊

[@kittyminky333]

Hey Emily! Great video as always 👍🏻 I bough almost all books by Lauren Oliver because I enjoyed the first book I read from her. But unfortunately I didn’t like all of them. Still continue to try it though 😄

[@naomiporter9398]

Painted man and blood song are pretty good

[@MissNaomiJean]

The last book I bought was A Conjuring of Shadows by V. E. Schwab I enjoyed this video, thank you for posting :)

[@susannacain3564]

I believe that Reasons To Stay Alive by Matt Haig is a nonfiction. I thought you would want to know before picking it up. ALSO, I'm at the 2 hours left mark in the Nevernight audio book AND I'm holding off finishing because I SO want to know and SO don't want to know. The big twist just happened and the big death as a result of it! I'm crushed, I hope the death is ambiguous for a reason ;(

[@lynxlou]

These hauls of yours are always dangerous! I love them, but I always want to go out and buy everything that you mentioned :) Also, I feel the same about the domestic thrillers, it seems like lately there really isn't anything else out there in the thriller department :(

[@MarionOlvas]

I've just read Hyperion and actually was surprised by how much i loved it! I would be really interested of how you like it. It is so fantastic and clever and just pure genious! Read it! :)

[@bicho6313]

Have u tried older SF books written by female authors (e.g. Octavia Butler, Ursula LeGuin, )? Cuz I find that those aren't as dated when it comes to feminism. In fact, some of them explore feminist issues really well, even for the time they were written in. Booksandpieces' channel has some really diverse SFF recs.

[@heitorcoutinho4462]

You should read the Wheel of Time

[@MaryAmongStories]

I was listening to this video and when you said Sightwitch I understood Sandwich and was so confused 😂
