Hello hello! I FINALLY BUILT A COMPUTER and this video was so wonderfully easy to get out to you guys (I have a chaotic QnA coming this Sunday where I build it so you'll get to see that soon!) and in the meantime this is a very long vlog encapsulating a little over two weeks of busy days and book projects (and wild turkey??) - hope you're doing so so well and enjoy! xx

54 minutes of Emma? Y.E.S. Also, I would love an ASMR channel. I think book ASMR is great, so anything in the realm of book/pages noises/whispering/reading would be great :D

My papa (grandfather) passed away a few days ago and I've just been feeling so hollow and broken on the inside. He was one of the kindest, most generous souls, and I learnt to love books because of him. I loved him dearly. Thank you so much for providing a much needed distraction from real life, you are so appreciated ❤️

hello, emma! I'm honestly so happy to see your channel grow so much. You deserve only good things in your life. Thank you so much for making life a lot more bearable, and for motivating me to keep doing my best. Also, I'm very glad you're enjoying banana yoshimoto. I love her writing so much and the way she writes about girls and life and family and relationships.

Hi Emma. Watching this VLOG improved my day. I hope you're properly managing your health. I'm so impressed with your recent engineering spurt (the bookshelves, the chair, and ofc the computer) - kudos! Also, the balance in your reading is reassuring, tho tbh I guess I did expect to see something about your uni class this semester, as well as your strategy for the Summer and beyond. Thx again bc it's always good to see you.

Apparently if you take a leaf from a feverfew plant and eat it with some bread (carbohydrate), it can work. This was mentioned by Dr Chris Searl or Hearl on British TV show Good Morning, so not an old wives tale.

Hey, Emma! How are you doing? Haven’t commented for a while and I’m so excited with how fast you’re growing on this corner of the internet! Hooray! Anyways, I’m writing to recommend you a book. As I heard you speak of “the girl who drank the moon” it reminded me of “the strange and beautiful sorrows of Ava lavender”. It was my first five star book of the year and the audiobook is amazing. It’s so poetic! I think you’d love i!

Thank you for putting the smile and the warmth into my day.
