i literally spent the entire morning (unsuccessfully) looking up wintery books only for this to appear in my subscription box, i feel like i manifested it

among the things i really like about this channel is how dedicated and consistent Emma is with video content releases: never keeps waiting for too long. that's nice and impressive too! keep it up girl!❤️

Emma being the physical manifestation of cozyness is why i love this channel so much! Happy Sunday Everyone! 😊😊😊

I want to watch this right now so BAD, but I'm going to save this for tomorrow for after school! When I come home, freshen up, grab coffee, blankets and play Emma's videos, it makes going through the day so worth it!! It's raining like crazy where I live, and I'm powering myself to go to school tomorrow, just by thinking that after school the alone time will make it worth it!! 💯

Hi Emma! As someone who has had experience with the Turkish language, the way you were saying it the first time is actually perfect! Most of the vowels in Turkish are short, rather than long, so rather than "pam-ook", like the the "u' in "truth", it's kind of more like the "u" in the word "Turkish", or like the double "o" in "book". Hope that helps! P.S., your videos are so beautiful, they bring me solace when I'm not feeling great. Thank you so much!

EMMA IS THE PERFECT EMBODIMENT OF “THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING” 🥺🥺😭💖

The Witch's Heart. This book includes snow, nature, forest, norse mythology, romance, betrayal, friendships and so much more.. This book got me crying at the end, it's too good!

These are great recs, Emma! It may be an obvious one, but The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe has a great winter landscape as well!

ahh i LOVED entwined so much! the writing style, the way the author describes the scenery, the dynamic between the sisters *chef's kiss*

Oh god I have waaay too many recs for this!😅 Here are my ultimate magical wintry book recs in three categories: *Middle Grade with wolves* -The Legend of Holly Claus by Brittney Ryan (This one's about Santa Claus' daughter and she has a wolf side kick!) -The Mysterious Howling by Maryrose Wood (It's about a young governess having to look after three wolf children) -The Wolf Wilder by Katherine Rundell (It's set in snowbound Russia and it's about a mother and a daughter who are 'wolf wilders' which is the opposite of a wolf tamer) *Romance* -Song of Salzburg by Jen Geigle Johnson (This one's actually the fourth book in a series but you don't have to read the other books in order to read this, they all work as stand alone novels. It's part of the Romance on the Orient Express series) -The Mistletoe Motive by Chloe Liese (An enemies-to-lovers romance set in a bookstore around Christmas time) *Fairy Tale Retellings* -The Raven and the Reindeer by T. Kingfisher (The Snow Queen retelling) -A Single Thread of Moonlight by Laura Wood (Cinderella retelling) -Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier (This one's actually not quite wintry, it's much more of an autumnal book but it's a retelling of the 12 Dancing Princesses, it's set in Transylvania and it's such an awesome read!) 😇

me watching this even though in my country is almost summer because emma's videos are such a good comfort

i read Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead because of you and it’s seriously so amazing. everyone should give it a try!! the beginning was difficult to get into but once i did it has become a favorite

Watching you is like opening Christmas presents! ☺️😌

I do like winter, I like the crisp, refreshing air, layering gives you more clothing choices, there are more arts performances like live theater, symphony, opera, etc. To help with seasonal mood issues, I keep all the lights on in the house. Also, Emma is awesome.

I love the red dress ❤️❤️. Your voice is soothing. I would also recommend For the Wolf. .

Thank you for recommending one of my favourite books! About Year of the Hare from a Finnish person: we Finnish people are Uralic, not Germanic/Scandinavian. We have our own mythology which actually was a huge inspiration for Tolkien when he wrote Lord of the Rings. That’s why the man in the book did not worship Norse gods but the Finnish ones. Vatanen also crosses the border to Russia because he goes to the east from the north of Finland. Here’s a few more recommendations if you’re interested in reading some other Finnish books: - Under The North Star by Väinö Linna ( it’s a trilogy about a family that struggles during the Finnish civil war and the 2nd World War. This book is one of the most popular Finnish classics) - Moominpappa at Sea by Tove Jansson but I recommend reading any of the Moomin books (Moominpappa at Sea is a story about the main character’s father who goes through a mid life chrisis and takes his family to live at a lighthouse. It’s a story about self-discovery.) - Meet the Grump by Tuomas Kyrö (the main character really reminds me of Ove from A Man Called Ove but this book is a few years older.) - Kalevala (it’s the main book about Finnish mythology. If you’re into Lord of The Rings you need to read it. Gandalf was heavily inspired by Väinämöinen who is the main character in Kalevala)

I'm so happy that you put out this video today because that's *JUST* the type of books I'm in the mood for these days as well! I'm currently reading "Deathless" by Catherynne M. Valente - I'm honestly surprised that I'm learning about it just now because it is right up my alley - and I think you would like it too! It's a retelling of the Russian story about Koschei the Deathless, it's cold, it's moody, it's magical, it's wonderfully written and I want to rush through it but at the same time I don't want it to end, ever. I'm barely 150 pages in but I strongly suspect that it's going to be a new favourite and I'll be thinking about it for weeks.

Sounds like a great bunch of winter books! I will put a bunch of them on my list. I love winter, too, and work on the 2nd floor of a university, overlooking a green space with spruce trees. When it snows, I always squeal with delight. It's like being in a snowglobe. I love it. My coworkers think it's odd, but I don't care.

Okay but, Emma’s channel is one of the most aesthetically pleasing channels on this whole platform. 😌 Question! What do we, Emma stans, call ourselves?? It would be so nice to have a name for this community heh:)

I have been (unsuccessfully) looking for wintery books yesterday without much luck but you had so many interesting reccommendations in this video! So thank you very much! This was perfect timing! Also I love that most of your reccomendations were fairytale retellings and I love those!

one of my favourite winter-y reads is Spinning Silver by Naomi Novak. the snow plays a big role in that book. i read this book last winter and it was honestly such a great experience. (also there's a fairytale aspect to the book as well, since it has taken inspiration from both rumplestilskin and slavic folklore)

i'm currently already reading drive your plow over the bones of the dead (based on your recommendation from when you read it) and this is making me even more excited to continue! it's so intriguing so far!

Bonjour! I have a book recommendation for you: 'The Snow Child' by Eowyn Ivey. It is so beautifully written, like a poem. Perfect for winter :)

I think you (or anyone else in the comments) would LOVE The Haunting Season. It’s a collection of eight gothic winter short stories by eight award winning writers and it’s incredible! Perfect for curling up with and it’s cozy in a way only spooky snowy books can be ❄️

I am going to be rereading the little prince. I love children's books so much

I always notice Orhan Pamuk Snow on my book store. I have Red Haired Woman and thank you Emma with this video, I really need to grab it ❄️

Emma, if I may add to your list of "Winter Cozy books" I'd like to put "Consolations of the Forest: Alone In A Cabin on the Siberian Taiga" on your radar! It's a beautiful written book about basically what's on the tin, and it has that simple, non industrial cottage core life balanced with the thrill and danger of well, the Siberian Taiga in the winter. Brilliant read.

I just love this thumbnail!!!!! I find it creeping into my mind when its really quiet in the house and I whisper "tis the damn season" and chuckle to myself...lol!!!

As a Pole, im really excited that you liked our nobelist book. I loved her book called Flights, i cant recommend it enough

Love winter myself as well. All that year end holiday vibes

Your videos are my absolute favourite. I love how diverse you read and how you read not just what’s popular and mainstream at the moment. Thank you for sharing and always brightening my day!

New Year's Kiss is on my TBR for this month, so th e fact that you are recommending it makes me even more excited to pick it up!

Oh my god as a turkish person seeing the first book being from Orhan Pamuk was so unexpected haha made me really happy🙈 and your pronunciation the first time was really good! 💗💗

the winter season is coming and i am coming back to your old videos!

Smilla’s sense of snow! Unsettling winter read

I think a lot of lit students and people who claim to love literature tend to want to appear 'edgy'. And so they promote only dark, depressing, scary, or inaccessible literature to almost create an air of mystery and also superiority around themselves. I appreciate Emma's unapologetic embrace of cosy, kind, even childlike literature.

Ooh the Tinderbox retelling sounds really interesting, that's always been one of my favourite Andersen stories.

Ghosts of Greenglass House takes place in a really pretty cottage in the winter. It does slow down towards the middle though, but there are quite a lot of plot twists at the end. It is a light read as it is intended for younger readers.

Very excited to read the Christmas Carol together

Emma, Idk who said it was wrong, but your pronounciation of Orhan Pamuk's name is absolutely correct, it would be even on point if you think of his surname like a name that rhyms with the word book, so an abrupt end. Hope this helped, I wouldn't even say anything if you didn't ask :) I appreciate how you always try your best to pronounce people's names right. Now i will continue watching the video as winter is my fave season too and thanks in advance for the recs

This was a perfect winter list and I'm going to work my way through quite a few of these books before the end of the season. Thank you, Emmie. Btw, you look so sweet and festive in this video.

Ohhh, I want to read so many of these! I highly recommend Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik, a YA fantasy fairytale retelling set in Eastern Europe with loadsss of wonderful winter imagery and magic ✨ Also, The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern 💛 If you want to read some translated Norwegian fantasy, I highly recommend Odin's Child by Siri Pettersen!

I LOVE THE THUMBNAIL

Just ordered Tinder and Entwined based on your rec! I adored Snow and Rose and the lovely art of Emily Winfield Martin and I'm very much in the mood to continue on with the magical fairytale vibes.

finally finally finally i’m so excited

Thanks for your recommendations.

Not me being like, "No more books. I already have enough books I need to read on my shelves..." Then watching this. But hey, I see Emma, I click.

I love your dress ! It’s so pretty! and it looks more pretty on you.

I love reading the Nutcracker, which is usually a short story, The Snow Queen, and overall fairy and folk tales. I'm currently reading Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist; his stories remind me of dark winter, while Jane Austen and L.M. Montgomery's novels have spring vibes.

omg i can't tell you how much i was waiting for this year's recommendations after seeing your last year's winters recs

I've never heard of the Year of the Hare, thanks for the rec! 🌛

You look BLOODY GORGEOUS!

Your videos are so so cosy and never fail to make me happy 🥰🖤

i'm turkish and the way you said orhan pamuk the first time is actually perfect!

Your voice is so warm and eloquent, what lovely recommendations. It’s hard to find people in real life that love books as much as I do(and I’m sure other people can attest to that) so thank you for making videos ❤️ Also, is the thumbnail a reference to Taylor swift? I love that song lol ❄️

I WAS WATCHING YOUR COZY BOOK RECOMENDATION VIDEO FROM LAST YEAR, YESTERDAY! thank you im so excited to watch😄

Ah the blessed video we’ve been waiting for ❤️ thank you dearly Emma

omg so many uploads in a week, we're blessed, ty emma❤️❤️❤️

One of my favorite fantasy books is a standalone called The Wolf in the Whale. It's set in the arctic north of Canada, and it mixes Inuit and Norse mythology. It was really excellent and great for winter!

Thank you for making all these comforting contents Emma and you're not wrong by the way, you did pronounce "Pamuk" correctly :)

ahhh my comfort moment of the day has come :)

Hey Emma! A viewer from Turkey here :) Your pronunciation of his name is perfect! The book is also a rare example of Kurdish struggle in Turkey so it's a great read, I would also highly recommend.

I recently stumbled on your you tube. I love watching you so much. Your voice is so comforting and you helped me start reading again. I'm an English major as well. Sending you lots of love from india❤

I’m loving your book choices. You present well.

Hey, Emma! The first pronunciation of yours is true for the Orhan Pamuk.

Waited for a Frost book cause THE ROAD NOT TAKEN LOOKS REAL GOOD NOW!☃️

Your videos are like warm hug to me🤗. Perfect as always👌. Love it!

AHHHH I CANT WAIT I LOVE YOU

I can’t believe I was on KZfaq at the exact time you posted a video. I commented on your last video if you had any ‘Christmas in a beachy-ish place’ book recommendations. I live in a hot place (currently 27 ºC) and I’m not feeling very festive atm 🥺

Beautiful calming and you look so amazing in red 😊💖

this video felt like a bday present since today was my birthday, exactly what i needed 🥰💜

of all things, i love your red dress!! perfectly christmassy

that was so lovely and cozy and i think now i can study better and finish my to do list

Such a cozy video ❤️ tinder looks so amazing. Those drawings are so beautiful!

This was perfect, such cozy vibes and some books I'll definitely be adding to my tbr 💕

Looks like you posed for the cover of "For The Wolf"!

I remember watching the same video last year sitting outside, soaking the winter sun, going to do the same today💛

emma, books, winter and a taylor swift thumbnail..... I love

I remember picking out Entwined at an elementary school book fair and even though it was 10 years ago, the imagery from the Keeper's realm is still with me! ahhh so happy you enjoyed it as well :,)

I love Entwined! I just requested For the Wolf and Snow and Rose from the library. Thanks for the recommendations.

Book Playlist, lets go❄ 🎄 1, Snow by Orhan Pamuk 2, Tinder by Sally Gardner 3, Entwined by Heather Dixon 4, The Year of the Hare by Arto Paasilina 5, New Year´s Kiss by Lee Matthews 6, For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten 7, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk 8, Snow and Rose by Emily W. Martin 9, Frost Blood by Elly Blake 10, In the House In the Dark of the Woods by Laird Hunt Happy Holidays everyone :3

I was looking in the christmas section for A Christmas Carol in my uni library and saw Snow...couldn't help but borrow it. It's so much chunkier than I expected but I cant wait to read it ♡

omg, this is literally what I needed right now

Notification came much earlier than it did previously for some reasons. Anyway, there is no better than having an attractive lady recommending books, not so much like those for motor car shows though. I can’t read as many as Emma does in a month, but recently couple of books that don’t seem to belong have occupied the centre stage on my desk.

I was recently book shopping and found a collection called Three Snow Storms, which contains short stories of that theme by Tolstoy, Chekhov and Pushkin (I believe they're The Snowstorm, On the Road, and The Blizzard, respectively), and I can't wait to read it this winter! Also, just bought Snow after seeing you recommended it on your chanel so many times :)

'I'm thinking of ending things' is a pretty good winter book, quite unsettling though.

As a Turkish person I can confirm that your pronunciation of Orhan Pamuk was on point, perfect!! Also I am pretty surprised to see a book from Turkish literature and very happy to hear that you liked it :))

Loved this video and I can’t wait for the next vlog 🥰

Right now I'm reading a chilly book called Frostheart! It's a childrens/middlegrade book about a boy living in a frozen, snow-covered that has a powerful gift - the gift of song. I'm reading it in Florida and it is perfectly scratching that ice cold itch!

You actually prounounced Pamuk right in the first try 💜

currently boiling in Australia but this video is comforting

So the one winter book I really definitely want to read is Winter by Ali Smith. It's the second book in a four-part series that begins with Autumn, and the writing is supposedly really beautiful and the short stories all feature winter and are somewhat connected. I read the first few pages and I'm looking forward to reading this!

You have no idea how much I want to move to the northern hemisphere so I can have wintery Christmases. I live in Melbourne Australia and Christmas here is stinking hot and even in winter we never get snow.

When I saw the thumbnail I screamed

Hi Emma! I am Turkish and you pronounced Orhan Pamuk perfectly the first time ! I can still hear an accent but it is the right way to pronounce his name ! So you didn’t say it wrong ^^ ❄️

Love these types of videos!! A wintery, cold book I recommend is The Wolf in the Whale by Jordanna Max Brodsky and the whole Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden❄

I was just about to go book shopping 😍❤️

Emma, this video came at the perfect time!!! I just started reading "The Hobbit" which makes me feel so cozy and warm inside🥰 Now I have even more books to look forward to for the cold season❄❄❄

I don't know if you've read it but The Guernsey Potato Peel Pie Society is an AMAZING book and feels so wintery and cosy to me. A book about books and with some WWII background.

Thanks for this Emma! Your videos keep me alive in the midst of exam season ❤️ also summer is coming here and I miss winter sooo muchh so I think I'm gonna read wintery books in order to survive
