I cracked up when I saw the ridiculous size of The Stranger's edition 😂 the book is so good though, I hope you'll enjoy it!

That edition of The Stranger is as big as my hopes of coffee solving all of my problems. Enjoy the books Emma, they sound delightful!

The Encyclopedia of Fairies should be read in Winter. I read it a couple of weeks ago and I wish I knew it was a winter book.

I’m so happy you posted today. Yesterday was so rough for me. I found out a friend of mine died and this is the perfect distraction. Thank you Emma ❤

Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia is definitely more of a winter book.

At least your copy of The Stranger had words. I ordered a copy of In Cold Blood and they sent me a notebook with In Cold Blood written on the front😕

The way I burst into laughter when I saw you hold up The Stranger!

Yes to going book shopping in the summer despite having so many unread books on my shelf 😭🙏

i love your videos for sooo long! the vibess are always immaculate. love from philippines 📚🖤

lost it when she held up the copy of the stranger. i was genuinely laughing the whole time she was holding it hahahahahah

Emma, i fell in love with "Tailchaser's song"! Cutest cover! Love Juliet Marilier too! The thrifted books look all amazing! 💖📚

I'm always so happy when I see that you've posted. My most recently acquired book is a really cook version of Rilke's Book of Hours from 1918. Your love of Rilke got me into his writing and I was so exited when I found it

Needed this joy today! Thanks, Emma! My most recently acquired book was "The Dark Wind" by Tony Hillerman. Happy early birthday, Emma!

Is Tailchaser's Song the orpheus myth but cats? IS IT THE ORPHEUS MYTH BUT CATS? Truly incredible!

Wintersong is also a retelling of the film The Labyrinth. And Emily Wilde is a wintry read. Hope you enjoy both!

crying at how huge your copy of the stranger is. the last book i bought was infinite jest ❤

My most recently acquired book is This Is How You Lose the Time War, started reading it right away and am loving it 😍

My most recently acquired book was the Oxford University Press' edition of War and peace and I got it because of you, I recieved it today and I'm super excited to dive into it 😍

I've wanted to read Juliet Marillier for such a long time and Dreamer's pool sounds so good! Also this video came at a dangerous time for me because I'm going to a book fair in my city later today and ive already gotten too many books recently 😂 and this is making me very inspired to get more books 📚 ✨️

That book is enormous 😂😂😂😂 I love the art style of the cat book!!!! They don’t do covers like that anymore 🥹

Hi Emmie, I recently had some bum book buys off Amazon and only realised when they arrived that they weren’t official copies of the books, but rather people re-printing them for self profit. Based on the edition of The Stranger you received, that could also be the same situation? You can always check when purchasing the book off Amazon who the publisher is to make sure you receive a true copy of the book. The books I tried to buy were Death of A Salesman and Pride & Prejudice & Zombies 😢❤

I got the same copy of The Stranger and quickly decided to unload it on a little free library 😆 thought the book was fantastic though My most recently acquired books were The Name of the Rose and The Turn of the Screw (the latter of which I started a couple days ago and am quite enjoying)

Dreamer's Pool. I am ready to move into the neighborwood. And the Tail Chaser book! 😲 ❤ Thanks Em, for another banger book haul.

klara and the sun was soo good 😢 i still think about it every now and then

I'm reading Klara and the Sun. I'm really enjoying it. I don't know much about the story yet... but the pace is amazing.

Omg I hope you love Wintersong!!! It was one of my absolute favorite books back when it first came out 🥰 I hadn't read very many "strange" books at the time, and it is one of the books that sent me on my strange book journey lol

My last purchase was Kairos by Erpenbek, a tale of time being by ruth ozeki, old man and the sea, farther away by franzen and two books of amin maalouf. It is always a pleasure to listen to your talking about books.❤

My most recently acquired books are some beautiful, old, thrifted German editions of `Letters to a Young Poet´ and `Collected Poems´ both by Rilke. You got me so excited to read them soon☺🥰

I pre ordered the new Elizabeth Acevedo book family lore. I'm beyond excited for it. 😍

I, honestly, laughed so loud when I saw the size of “The Stranger” book. But, I hope you enjoy reading it since it’s an excellent novel. And the latest book I bought is “Understanding Philip K Dick” which is part of the Understanding Contemporary American Literature series.

whenever crappy things happen in life i can always count on emmie picking me up

That Stranger edition looks like self published. Measure For Measure is fantastic!

My most recently acquired book is The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

Most recently acquired book is Family Business by Jonathan Sims, bought in a kindle sale and going onto my autumn/horror tbr. My most recent physical book purchase was actually One Hundred Years of Solitude, I found it in a charity shop for £1.99 and had to buy it because you've talked about it so much! Planning on reading it this month 😊

Most recently acquired book is, Mona by Pola Oloixarac . Hope to read it this month !

my most recent book buys were billy summers by stephen king and the first 2 hunter x hunter books. i also really wanted to say that i love how much you adore the snow. i love the winter and everything about it, but i live in louisiana so i’ve never seen real snow. seeing how much you love it though has made me want to buy as many books about snow and ice as humanly possible and learn as much as i can. i am also quite envious of your canadian winters as the winters down south are slightly cooler than summers and still equally as humid. sweater weather does not exist and the heat is agonizing.

Most recently acquired books for me are Parable of the Sower and the Kurt Vonnegut Encyclopedia that my partner found at the thrift for me

Happy Emma vid ❤❤❤ Love seeing the books you pickup for yourself. I have taken so many recommendations from you.

i just got a gorgeous copy of Til We Have Faces and i’m so tempted to reread! also you might have just convinced me to pick Hamlet up again hehe

The size of the book is amazing😂 That gave me a much-needed laughter today

Love love LOVE used books, they give me the coziest vibes!!! Last acquired book for me is Anna Karenina! Can't wait to anotate the hell out of it.

My most recently acquired book is Beauty is a wound! Which I bought because of your video!! I absolutely enjoyed the video, Emmie! I was wondering, since you love books about cats, if you’ve ever heard the book series Warriors and if you would read them haha they look kinda funny and there are a lot of books on the series but I think it could be fun for you to give it a try just for fun. Also I love every recommendation you give us about ice, snow and winter! That’s one of my favorite book topics too! ❤❤

Happy Wednesday Emma! Thank you for another great book haul :D

You got me into reading classics 😊

Yay! I’m so excited you have ‘Ice’ I’ve been waiting to hear your thoughts on it so I can’t wait!

Most of my books are thrifted like this Monday I brought 6 for £1.50. I’ve read two this week already (never let me go and Brideshead revisited). The quality’s really good, most of them seem like they’ve not even been read before

i spilled my coffee the moment you show the copy of the stranger🤣🤣

I'm not sure people know this but Tailchaser's Song is Tad William's debut novel. William is the author of The Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy and one of the pioneers of modern epic fantasy. He is highly underappreciated and I hope you read more of his works.

What a beautiful copy of Tailchaser's Song! I've actually got a second-hand copy of this book on order at the moment

I cannot believe that copy of the Stranger 😂 At first I thought it may have been a large print edition but it doesn’t seem like it is. The most recent books I bought were manga. I’ve been collecting the Fullmetal editions of Fullmetal Alchemist and just bought volumes 5 and 6.

A thesis possibility for a snow-centered work is James Joyce’s “The Dead”- Best of luck with your writing!

omg early and just wanna let you know that I read grendel because of you and that book basically changed me, ily and I love your taste

Can't wait for you too read Ice - such a fascinating book and author!!

My stranger book is the baby version of yours but same cover. That crack me up. I end up reading Camus in the middle of getting emotionally involved with Dostoevsky’s writing style, thinking maybe it will be a good break from all the Karamazovs but man Meursault was something else. After finishing the Stranger (sorry Dostoevsky, almost done with it) I had to get Camu’s A Happy Death. Pretty stoked about it.

I am always so proud when I find a good thrifted book.. like fate played its part ☺ some great pick ups in this one! love & appreciate your videos, emmie 💞

My most recent purchase is Fairy Tale by King. For my husband, but who knows - maybe I'll read this too

as a former manga collectioner I would just give u an advice to maybe only buy like one series at a time and really figure out what u want to read next, bcs mangas tend to cost a lot and u can get overwhelmed by how many there are and start too many series that u wont be able to complete. And maybe before starting a new series look at how many books there will be out in whole. And sorry for my bad english lol I am from Berlin

Hi Emma! Super happy to see a new video today and I immediately bought the legend and lattes. I just finished The Magician by Colm Toibin and i highly recommend it

You always make me want to buy more books. (My bookshelf is slightly panicking as it hears this.) My most recent book purchase is A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara which will probably break me. 😅

I actually just bought Winter In Sokcho because I´ve been wanting to read it for so long and then your review was also so good so...

The Grace of Wild Things is (so far) the best book of the year for me. I hope you love it, too!

20:31 the latest books i got were 'the sun also rises' by hemingway (a '66 edition i randomly found in a used bookstore), 'il fu mattia pascal' (an italian classic), 'kitchen' and 'of mice and men' ! also omg, i have the same edition of 'the stranger' and i bought it on amazon too !! thankfully mine is a normal size tho 😭 hope you like it, i personally loved it

You might have done this already but I'd love a video about your favorite books based on the seasons! I don't know many winter books and you seem very passionate about them so I bet you'd have great recommendations! Also, my most recently acquired book is The World We Make by N. K. Jemisin.

That edition of The Stranger is the size of a children's picture book! The last three books I bought were The Lincoln House by Nancy Horan, To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose, and one inspired by you was A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man & Dubliners by James Joyce. I already have Ulysses and have attempted to read it, but maybe I need to start with something less challenging.

Since you like the big Folger editions Amazon thought you’d like the giant Camus. 😂 I’m actually digging it. I think it would look great on my coffee table. 😅

that copy of The Stranger is ABSURD

most recently bought a beautiful edition of the brothers grimm's complete fairy tales. it has gilded edges and it's just stunning. very happy.

the most recent book I bought is Demon Copperhead. I got it specifically to read after I'm done reading David Copperfield. I have about 70 pages left!!

Would love to hear your thoughts about Klara and The Sun. It didn't have that much impact on me but for some reason, it's one of my fave books. The feels it gave when I read it was something

I had no idea The Stranger came in magazine size. Crazy......... 😂. I will be waiting for your opinion of Tailchaser's Song. I'm currently reading the Dragonbone Chair by the same author. Ice has been on my radar for awhile. I really enjoyed Klara and the Sun. My most recently acquired book is The Cradle of Ice by James Rollins - even though I haven't read the first book yet 🙃. Thanks for sharing, Emma!

I had the same experience with the Legends & Lattes audiobook. Interesting to hear that you are enjoying the physical book though - maybe I will pick that up instead!

i love you thank you for existing

my most recently acquired book is this random arc i found in one of those little free libraries called Toil and Trouble by Augusten Burroughs. supposedly about witches and stuff so sounds fun!

My most recently acquired book is Y/N by Ester Yi; it's a literary fiction novel about a woman who is a huge fan of a k-pop idol whose obsession turns quite terrifying when that idol retires from the public eye. Supposedly it's in the vein of Melissa Broader, Otessa Moshfegh and Mona Awad, three fiction players I particularly enjoy!

I adore Victorian writers. Wilkie Collins is a must and I managed to buy nearly all of his books...pity some are hard to find,but find them I will🙂 Needless to say, I have read all of the novels by Dickens; Jane Austen; the Bronte sisters; Elizabeth Haskell and the Russian writers: Dostovsky, Pushkin, Chekhov ,Turgenev....will read Tolstoy's Anna Karenina BUT not War and Peace. Oh dear, so sorry with my loves.....however, there are so many that my TBR makes me wonder if I can read over 300 pages a day 😂; somehow so very much doubt it. Regards.

I’m actually reading klara and the sun now and I’m really enjoying it. Ironically I also found a brand new copy at the thrift store 😂

I remember seeing Tailchaser's Song at the school library as a kid but I never read it. That's crazy! I hope it's epic

i really recommend kenny's bookshop from ireland if you are a widow/er of book depository. they have new and used books very cheap. i have bought 5 books already and everything is great.

omg the huge copy of the stranger hahahha! my most recently acquired book is the idiot by dostoevsky, which i'll be buddy reading with a friend soon! so excited!!

That happened to me when I bought Oliver Twist off of Amazon! It was just enormous

I have also gotten some randomly sized books from Amazon before 😂

most recently acquired book: The Adult by Bronwyn Fischer. I was recently in Canada and had to had to HAD TO get the Canadian edition because its so much prettier than the US one. I'm in the middle of other books but picked this on up immediately and I'm really enjoying it. A great "lost in your 20's" book even though the protagonist is 18

Library of the Dead by Glenn Cooper! Combines the chase after a serial killer and a cursed child at a monastery on the 8th century, the main character is not likeable at all but that makes the story even better, I'm halfway through and I can't stop reading~

that copy of the stranger is something else oh lord!

Cool books emma! My cramp dad just got me some Flannery o'connor, and, orhan pamuk too, i never heard of, looks intreging- idk why,. 😓 i cant wait for the stranger video.. theres just nothing like the beginning of that book! But Cèline takes the cake over camus, i think anywey! 😖

My day just got better!😊

I'd love to send you some more Jackie Morris books if you enjoy this one! She's from my neck of the woods so her books are pretty popular here. Recently bought 'The Wild Swans' for a friend and the illustrations are stunning :)

Hi Emma. I wanted to tell you about a book I read in a college Shakespeare class many years ago. Its called "The Daughter of Time" by Josephine Tey. It's a historical fiction book about Richard the III. I remember finding it so interesting! I thought since you liked Richard the III you might like it!

hii emma! i missed you so much ♡

My most recent purchases are Yellowface by RF Kuang, I have more souls than one by Fernando Pessoa and Blind Owl by Sadeq Hedayat. Looking forward to reading them!

That copy of The Stranger is so funny 😂

I read wintersong this January and you'll never be ready for the goblincore

I just went to my local Oxfam books and bought The Prophet by Gibran - I had limited myself to 1 book when I went in, but then I saw 2 Ishiguro books and bought both… (nocturnes and a pale view of hills)

that copy of the stranger gave me a good giggle. it looks ridiculous 😂

I recently had dinner with one of my high school teachers and she gifted me with her copy of my brilliant friend by Elena Ferrante which im very excited to read !

The Stranger is soooo good!

My copy of the heart of a dog is like a notebook also and it does feel strange. It also looks like someone just photocopied it and the cover is actually a little blurry 😂

I read Klara and the Sun, I would only say that Never let me go continues to be my favorite Ishiguro book.

Emma wearing two clips is just like me trying to hold my life together 😊

Oh and my most recently acquired book I got is called Paradise Circus by Sraosha and i have no idea what it is or what it's about but i got it from a local bookshop that apparently also is a publisher and it looked interesting so I got it!
