Good afternoon, Emma! 😂 Id like to once more put in my vote for the book spider to be named Webster, both in reference to the dictionary as well as being a web/spider pun. It is silly.

@emmiereads Ай бұрын

I love that so much:’) I’m definitely gonna start calling him that!!

You can return the book with the glittered and nail polished edges. Thrift Books will replace it. I have had no trouble with their customer service people. You have to contact them online first and then they will get back to you. Good Luck. Sorry about your bad day (s).

Ah, Puff the Magic Dragon was part of my childhood, but more in song than book form. "Dragons live forever, not so little boys" was diabolical. Who writes a children's song telling kids they're going to die? Playful dragons are cool. Memento Mori! LOL.

@juliehughes1258 Ай бұрын

^^^I agree. When I got a little older, I always associated the song with puffing marijuana and/or chasing the dragon. Like H.R. Pufnstuf. Good grief. Crazy times, man. But I digress. I found Emma from Carolyn Marie and I'm so glad I did. Emma's Canadian accent reminds me of my childhood in Minnesota.

As long as the lemon trees grow... definitely read it❤.It's set during the Syrian Revolution where our protagonist is 18 year old pharmacy student turned seasonal surgeon (due to the lack of doctors) and we basically get to see the harsh realities of war through the eyes of the civilians she treat. It also follows the themes of love, friendship, loss and the fear generated from it (I'm looking at you, Khawf) ...I believe everyone should read this book❤❤❤

@CatherineLambert-fz7pd Ай бұрын

It sounds amazing, I would love to read that

@MarijaLucic-h2o Ай бұрын

Yes, it is sad that there is no more representation of migraine. As someone who suffers from chronic migraine, I am constantly looking for representation of migraine in literature, movies, art to see how others live with migraine and to find some meaning in so much pain. I have read Seven Days in June, but the first book I read that represents migraine was When Nietzsche Wept by Irvin D. Yalom and that book is amazing. Hope you get well soon Emma 🍀

@conniecarey5118 Ай бұрын

I like the edges as the remind me of really old books 😊🌸

@strongfemalereads7930 Ай бұрын

Deckled edges are elite 👌🏻 I will go out of my way to get editions with deckled edges. I love the feel of them. I love that most of the paperbacks are floppy. I love that they feel “softer” than other books. Just 10/10 books all around. More importantly, I hope you feel better soon!

@carolineoneal2862 Ай бұрын

You might want to check the TW and controversies with Emily A. Duncan before you read Wicked Saints! It was really atmospheric and the wintery vibes were great, but just wanted to warn you about that!

About that sweet smell from old books, recently I read that this kind of smell (something like vanilla) is due to paper decomposition (celullose and chemicals on it). Sometimes it could be sweet, sometimes it could be fruity. Hope it helps. 😊

Omg thank you for mentioning how underrepresented chronic migraine rep is in books!! I suffer from chronic migraines and I read a song of wraiths and ruin when it came out and it was so nice to see my pain acknowledged. It really isn’t talked about in books like you said (I’ve read nearly 500 books and could probably count on one hand how many that have touched on it and not even use all the fingers)

Actually, migraines are mentioned in Philip Pullman's "Book of Dust", a prequel for Lyra's story! As far as I remember, one of the main characters, a young boy, experiences them. He gets a vision of "auras" which he calls "auroras" due to misspelling - and they help him and guide him throughout his adventures. Oh, and you showed a collection of Pullman's books later in the video! What a nice coincidence 😅

Summer colds are miserable! Feel better! I really enjoyed your book haul and your reactions 😄. There are some beautiful ones in the haul. I truly love Puff the Magic Dragon. When I was a child I had the record. Yes - I'm that old 🤭. I really like deckle edges that are done well - though perhaps they do not have the same satisfaction with the page flip. My personal experience with buying used online has led me to only purchase ones rated "very good" or "like new". My "good" is often not the same as their "good." Also I am convinced they often don't even give the pages a quick flip to make sure there isn't an issue - like your nail polish edges 🤷‍♀.

I'm very excited to see what you will think of "The Discomfort of Evening". The author, who goes by the name Lucas Rijneveld now, is actually originally from the town I am from in The Netherlands. He used to hang out with my older cousin when they were kids/teens, so it's so cool (and also a bit strange) to see his international success nowadays! As to pronouncing his last name, I think it would work the best to use the English "ai" sound for "ij". It's still somewhat different but comes the closest to what it's supposed to sound like in Dutch :).
