emma: talking about her classics me: staring at her copy of A Court of Mist and Fury

I like that you mention the text of the books! Text font or size, or spacing of the lines and margins can really impact the reading experience.

“What part of the cover do you want to be green?” “Yes” 😂😂 honestly me though

"If I don't like a font that a book is written with ..." Same here. Absolutely. Will I read it nonetheless? Sure. Grudgingly? To be sure.

me: getting ready to study for school emmie: posts a video about classics me: studying can wait i guess

At 27:59 it's so adorable how you say "because" in a French accent after reading Saint-Exupéry's name

Voltaire by Candide? 😂😂

Your sense of smell goes hand in hand with Patrick Süskind's The Perfume 😄

When I read Emma by Jane Austen, this is how I imagined her to look like <3

"Monica, if you're out there..." hahaha I loled

This was such a fully sensory, soothing experience. I've never seen anyone give such excellent reviews for us book sniffers out there. You are wonderful.

I love watching people's classics collections!!!!!b

emma: inhales book deeply emma: 😦

I get so excited whenever I see that you've uploaded. School has really been kicking me in the butt and your videos are like a breath of fresh air. I truly cherish every single second of your videos, I literally never want them to end. Thank you for this!!!

Snap - we have the same edition of Emma! I love getting second hand books, to me, there just feels something so special about them! I have a couple of very old editions of books from the 1910's and I wonder how many book shelves they've been on before they got to me! Also... Book smell - there is something so unique about it and the way you described it - man! Perfect! Put it into a candle please! 👌😂

5:08 lol your disapproval of monica stings because that’s how i’ve asked out three different people. normally i put my number in the middle of the book because if they’re going to commit to me, they’re going to have to commit to reading the books i recommend them

I've recently decided to do my university degree in English literature. Your channel makes me want to overindulge in classics ☕📚 I like your French, I'm from Montréal.
