The way I always know exactly what books people read in book rap-ups cause I stalk goodreads, and somehow still eat it up every time. Love following ur reader journey and watching u explore more of the book world every video!
i spent the ENTIRE month of November reading Throne of Glass and it was the best month of my life reading and just in general bc of it! i read ACOTAR before TOG, im planning on reading Crescent City in January before the 3rd book comes out, just so sad that I’m almost caught up with all of Sarah’s books. I’ve definitely grown to love her as one of my favorite authors ❤
Ahhhh omg I cannot wait to reach this point but I also definitely want to take my time with the series and read it just when I’m really in the mood for it so I can get the most out of the experience!! especially because you only get that first time read experience once!!! 🥰🫶🏼
I‘ve read the first book of Acotar so far because it gave me Autumn Vibes but now I feel like I have to wait for March because the second one is giving spring haha but the first book was a 4/5 for me because I had to get into the story first. But after a few chapters I enjoyed it even more! :)
@@zoropinter106 I love this sm bc there are definitely some books on my tbr as well that I’m saving for different times bc the vibes just aren’t right yet!! lol 🫶🏼
I think it's a good call to read Caraval first! My friend got me into Once Upon a Broken Heart, and I wish I had read the Caraval books first because I ended up loving OUBH so much that I wanted to read more in the world/ from the author. But reading them out of order spoiled some plot points 😑 I think you'll enjoy OUBH so much more after being introduced to the world and characters!
Omg if you love fourth wing, you’ll love powerless!!! Please read that next! It is soooooo gooooood ❤❤ I would do anything to read it for the first time again, def worth annotating it!
That is so funny you say that because I’ve never annotated a book before and I JUST got little tabs and stuff and I wanted to make a video annotating a book for the first time and I decided I’m powerless today!! Hahahaha 🫶🏼🫶🏼
I also didn't read too many books in November. I was finishing up the TOG series so I spent the whole month reading Kingdom of Ash. Im so so excited to see you start this series because I loved it so so much and it was my first fantasy series! I also read Iron Flame which I really enjoyed :) I read Powerless by Lauren Roberts which GIRL YOU ARE GONNA EAT THIS UPPPPPP. I then read A December to Remember (I am doing a book swap with my coworkers so I wanted to read and annotate it before December) and lastly; Things We Never Got Over. I love your videos Hal and I can't wait to see your December reads and thoughts :)))))
I love your tree 😍 welcome back ❤ and i missed you but I did enjoy watching your videos all over again 😊 I need to pick up twisted love and the others in the series and yes the ending needed more I agree
I read Assassin’s Blade as the third book and I'm so happy I did! I think I'd be a bit confused if I read it as the first book. But many people do and seem to enjoy it so that's great! I'm reading Queen of Shadows right now and this series is so so solo good. 🤩
Yess I feel like no matter if people read it first or third they still love the book and series as a whole!! I’m a little nervous that I will get confused because people say there’s soooo many characters LOL but I’m just preparing to take notes so I don’t forget hahahaha 🫶🏼
@@HalJones there are many characters and also POVs but Sarah J. Maas is a master at making both the characters and the story easy to follow. It's a GREEEAT series and I think you'll love it! ⭐
I am seriously so excited for your upcoming videos because one of my goals in 2024 is to read Sarah j. Mass's books! I was thinking of starting with Acotar but maybe I'll look into the ideal reading order too to see if it's better to begin with Throne of Glass 🤔
Same! I am hoping to finish Acotar series soon, then I'll read Throne of Glass, then Crescent City. But I know myself well enough to know that I will not be finishing all of that in time for the Crescent City 3 release in late January.
Omg powerless is my favourite book of all time! And I have read soo many, I ate it up the entire time! The banter is insane and leaves u HUNGRY for the next book. Arghhh from now on checking every video you make untill I see powerless ( as if I wouldn’t watch all ur videos anyway )
and just like that my fav book reader girly posts again! 😊 i love how honest you are about your achivements of the month❤ hope december treats you well, and cheers to another (hopefully) successful reading month!
One of my goals for the new year is to read the TOG series and I’m also leaning towards starting assassin’s blade! Still need to finish the ACOTAR series though (which I’m loving so far and has become one of my new fave series!)
Omggg it’s so cool to be reading the same things as you guys!! (,: I am highly anticipating acotar bc 4 of my friends have read it and all LOVE it!! 🫶🏼
Huge thanks you for mentioning when things are on kindle unlimited!! I'm asking for a kindle for Christmas as I'm a full-time uni student with no money and no space for books, unfortunately!
@@HalJones see I was gonna say that's probably what it'll do bc at first I only saw part of the message. Then I clicked it and yeah the second part sounds more like me. Trying to be better about that but sometimes it's hard . Just gotta have all the books ! Also the Addicted Callloway series is so good! I read Hot House Flower at the very start of December.
Twisted series: If you continue the series, you will understand why (you felt that way about the first book)... It's smart .... I had fun reading them ..
@HalJones yes! They get even more interesting as they go, as one entangles with the other.... I don't want to spoil it for you, I'll wait to see the next couple of months ...how you adapt with the new info about the storyline ... As for the throne of glass and the rest! 💜❤️
im in such a bad reading slump right now, but your videos are helping me get back into the reading grind. also how do you manage to be a mother and an amazing book girly? i could never
Honestly I could not do it without my husband Markie!! He helps with the kids so much when it comes time to edit and record!!! But you will get out of the slump don’t worry, you just have to find the right book 🥰🫶🏼
Loving the back to back! Love your energy and watching your videos 😊 Also look at you at 9k followers! 10k by the end of the year? I can see it happening
@Hal Jones - It Ends with Us is AMAAAAAAAAZING. It’s a 5 star for me and I don’t even understand how the author did it. Very important story that everyone should read. It messed me up initially because like you seem to enjoy, I go in to books not knowing much, and I was in a situation like theirs. It surprised me when the script flipped on that one. I can’t wait to see what you think.
Actually my goal in 2024 is also to start the Sarah j. Maas world. But I think the top of the 2024 TBR are the throne of glass series, and shatter me series. I researched which order to read tog and there was so many people who said to read it in this or that order. Like which one do I pick 😂but I ended up choosing to read the assassins blade first, and now I’m so happy to se that your also starting with this book!! 💗
Omg I love hearing that other people have the same reading goals this year it makes it so exciting!!! The reading order is so confusing 😭 lol after I posted that I was going to start with throne of glass so many people are saying don’t so now I’m just re conflicted lol
@@HalJones please let me know which order you pick, I don’t know if I should start with the assassin blade or read it third, it’s literally so confusing😂
@@Noorslifestyle21 well I know for sure when I start throne of glass I will start with assassins blade!! I just don’t know now if I wanna do acotar first or the throne of glass series lol
@@HalJones I don’t know if it really if it matters,I saw In a video for which order you should read it, the girl in the video says that you should start with ACOTAR because if your new to fantasy it’s easier to get to ACOTAR, but she said it up to your choice but it’s just what she recommended lol 🫶🏼 but I do think I’m going to start with TOG
Wow!! I feel like that’s so good?! I think I’m at like 11 rn for my first year (: there’s still like a week left in the year but that is about where I will end! Congratulations on your first year reading!! 🩷🩷
thank you so much. you did pretty well too considering your first book video was only a couple months ago. Keep reading and posting. Your videos are amazing. ❤️
Thank you!!!! I found the vintage style ones from tjmaxx this year!! And then I got a mixed set from Sam’s club, a mixed set from target and a pink set from target LOL so all over the place
I knowww, I didn’t put it in because so many people were saying it was very slow in the first half and after such a slow month of reading I just wanted to put books that I am super excited about and then just read iron flame when I’m feeling it!! 🥰

I love Throne of Glass! So good! I need to read ACOTAR. I hope to read it in 2024. I don't own Crescent City but I am considering it . I'm indecisive.
You could always wait to get it until you read acotar!! Or be a psycho like me and just buy it so that you have it when you’re ready LOL😂🫶🏼
