How is your skin so flawless?? Honestly, I couldn’t stop staring at your skin, you’re glowing 🙀😻 Also, i loved thunderhead so much, I’m not huge on YA either but that one was so surprisingly good, loved the religious influence it had 👏🏼
Thank you! I have a beauty channel and recently shared my "Best Skincare of 2018" (ruclips.net/video/sMZSlO5DEdU/видео.html) so you might find some great recommendations there :)
Have you read A monster calls by Patrick Ness? I had to read it for my english class and I didn't expect to like it as much as i did. Another book i was really suprised by was We are the ants, because i didnt know anything about is before i started reading it except that some booktubers i watch really like it. You know now i think about it...ready a book without knowing to much is the best way to read a book
So happy to see some Diviners love! The series just gets better and better. Before the Devil Breaks You (the third book) was my favourite book in a year of fab books - not just because it was super fun, with great characters and an intriguing plot, but because it was so relevant to 2018, despite being an historical paranormal fantasy novel. Couldn't recommend the series more!
I really was surprised by The Eye of The World. I went from not thinking i was going to read it to reading three books in the series in the same year. I wish i could enjoy Emma, but i haven't been able to get into it, and I've tried twice.
I was scared of reading Scythe and The Diviners, but after this video I'm going to. Also, Audible Originals made an audiobook of Emma (full cast narration + Emma Thompson) which was really good and made it an easy read. They're going to make one for Northanger Abbey if I'm not mistaken.
I read The Diviners series this year and loooved it! One of my top reads of the year. I just bought Scythe and plan to start that soon. The premise is very intriguing. I also agree with you on classics. I used to read so many! But this year I've mostly read fantasy, with some contemporaries and thrillers mixed in.
I’m the same way with classics!! For years all I read were classics, but for a while, I just haven’t been picking them up! I put several on my 2019 TBR/resolution 😁

I've heard so many great things about the Scythe series so I think I need to add it to my TBR in 2019! I've also heard great things about The Diviners so I want to start that one too!
I think reading Always and Forever, Lara Jean is a really nice ending. I'd recommend you to read it if you're in the mood for an easy read and a wholesome ending, its more about Lara Jean finding herself and her future than anything and I really appreciated that!
First Contact Trope recommendation: Illegal Alien by Robert J. Sawyer. I read it a few years ago and the ideas around justice and survival really stuck with me.
Based on what you said about not liking books that try to hurt you, I’m interested in how you’ll feel about A Little Life! (I haven’t read it but I’ve watched spoiler reviews)
Oh I know it will hurt me lol I just feel like sometimes they purposely add details to hurt and it doesn't really make sense. "Torture porn" or wtv people call it lol
always and forever, lara jean is actually good. please read it. it was my favorite out of the whole trilogy because i felt the connection with the characters like deym.
Hey Em ! I read Scythe and Thunderhead, I really loved them ! I read them very quickly and I was so sad to put it down because I don’t know when the next one is going to shows up 😔 it’s gonna be too long, I can’t wait to read the next one ! (I’m not used to read series so I’m a bit frustrated here lol !)
BookswithEmilyFox yes !! Now I get it !!! 😅😅 It may be even longer for me then, because I read in French 😪 I really need to be more comfortable with reading in English ! By the way I asked you a question about that on your RUclips survey ! I hope you can give me some advices in your next video 🤗 can’t wait to see it I love your videos (on your book AND beauty channel) keep going ! Mais surtout profites bien des fêtes de fin d’année pour passer du temps avec tes proches et pour te reposer aussi j’imagine que ce n’est pas toujours facile de tout gérer en même temps ! Gros bisous de Bordeaux ! 😘😘😘
The DIVINERS was so good! Loved the characters and the anti christ ghost murders! This was the first book of this kind of genre for me, as in 20s, fantasy elements and crime. The vibe reminded me a lot of Fantastic Beasts. Did you already read the next ones? I think the second one Lair of Dreams is my favourite because I don‘t usually like dreams as the main setting but it was so well done here with the sleeping sickness and everything. Even though I was sad that Evie was kind of a side character here or maybe not a side character, just not important for the main plot, and struggling to grow as a character. But she is still likeable. I‘d say that Henry and a new character called Ling are mostly driving the plot forward. The second one is also scarier btw. 😂 But it wasn‘t too scary. The third one „Before the devil breaks you“ was my least favourite. It kind of only set the stage for the fourth book which I want to read as well, but I was a little disappointed with the plot and a lot of character arcs and the romance too I guess. :/ A lot of other booktubers liked the third one the most though which I don‘t really understand... 🤷♀️
I read One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez this year and it blew me away. Went into it with pretty low expectations but instead got an addicting and thought provoking story in the end. It was a lot of fun and this book made me realize that deeply flawed and ultimately doomed characters are the ones I enjoying reading the most. The ending is one of the best ones I read.
Michael Chrichton is one of the most interesting people. Totally recommend his biographic book, travels, where he talks about how he got from being a harvard medical student to becoming a director and author. Really interesting.
I really like watching your videos and listening your talk about books :) And this end of the year book series thing is awesome! I do not read scifi nearly at all (but I want to!) but your videos inspire me to try more scifi books.
+BookswithEmilyFox thank u! And I've been hearing some good things about The long way to a small angry planet, I already have it on my shelf too :) I have to pick it up soon!
I'm currently reading To All the Boys I've Loved Before! I started it this summer but had to put it down because all oh crap happened in my life and I got into a reading slump. I restarted it a couple of days ago and so far I like it :)
I will definitely check out the storied life of aj fikry. Sounds intriguing. Loved all the missing girls, really unique and refreshing take on a thriller. I read scythe this year and can’t wait to read thunderhead (i was kinda saving it )😉👌🏽
I completely agree with the review about To All The Boys I've Loved Before. It did not need to continue on into a series but I will watch the other movies if they come out because of the cuteness.
I agree with all your opinions! Andromeda Strain, AJ Fikry & Emma are so good! I do feel like you enjoy adult fiction more than YA (same here). If you want to read some 'quality' YA/ all audiences fiction, I'd recommend Shannon Hale's books, Goose Girl and Thousand Days. I got those for free and was shocked how much I liked them.
I just placed an order on The Storief Life of A. J. Fikry this week, even not knowing anything about it (but I work in a bookstore and dream of owning my own). Never heard anyone even mentioning it before. To see it here was a very pleasant surprise (thank god it wasn't on your most disapointing video).
Hoo boy, I already didn't think you would like A Little Life, but after hearing your typical gripes about adult contemporary I am VERY curious to hear your thoughts! :)
I loved the The Power and how it didnt end as utopia as well, teaching the old cliche of "absolute power corrupts absolutely" or however they say. I also really enjoyed Scythe and Thunderhead. I read rather than audio'd the second Diviners book - i think you'll like it - i enjoyed it because it had a dreamscape scenario that was so much fun plus more character development as well. I have the third book and will probably get to it in the next few months. If you want a really good rec for a classic, i recommend East of Eden by John Steinbeck. Have you read it? Im lost in it now and i never wanna come out! Im just so engrossed and loving the characters and the themes, its pretty spectacular set in Calif at turn of century (1900). Anyhow, have a great Thursday night!
I absolutely, 100% support your opinion about Jenny Han's book. I was so surprised with "To all the boys I've loved before" (movie) that I decided to dive into the books, and to my surprise the 1st book was even better than the movie (minus the outfits and Noah Centineo... which you can't replace :3 ) but oh girl, if you thought the 2nd book was unnecesary then please... please! save yourself some time and don't get close to the 3rd one... it's painful to read. I'ts filled with nonexistent drama, forced relationships and frustrating situations. It just lost the initial spark. I agree, if the first book had been a standalone, it would've been one of the best books of 2018 for me.
I read the humans and flowers for Algernon after you recommended them and they are my new fav books! I agree with your views on the power, it was definitely an interesting premise but could have had a more gripping storyline. I'm listening to the audiobook and only just started getting interested 8 hours in. Have to disagree with your most disappointing video when you mention hitchhikers guide to the galaxy but I think that may just be my terrible British humour ! In general you are the booktuber who's views I trust the most (and I watch a lot) so thanks for your constantly great content xxx
Im reading the Martian right now because you recommended it and im definitely surprised at how much it has made me laugh so far! Im usually kind of a grumpy person with books and dont find thinks that funny but damn this book is funny lol
My most surprising reads of the year were The outsiders, I unlike a lot of people didn’t love the movie so I thought I would hate the book but I really loved it and; Rebecca, classics are very hit or miss for me and this easily became one of my favorites of all time.
To the boy I love before movie is different in the next movie because everyone love it and it will be base of the relationship between them two so I think you should really read book 3
Hey Emily! Love your videos and your taste in books is pretty good :) Have you read something from Isaac Asimov? I thought I hate sci fi until I started reading one of his books. By the way, have you read any of the Expanse series books? People seem to adore it, but I started it and I hate the writing... and the conversations seem quite dull.
I loved scythe but honestly Neals previous series Unwind is SO MUCH BETTER in my opinion. The characters drew me in much more, as did the concept and it remains my favourite series ever. Please please read them.
Liking this video just because it had Scythe on it. Now I can go ahead read other books in peace without having to thinking about myself loving a YA novel.
Where did you find that edition of The Diviners!? I've been looking for it everywhere haha. I really need to get to Scythe. I've heard nothing about great things about it and Thunderhead.
Dear Miss Emily Fox, I would like to recommend you these three titles (my all time favourites): -One Hundred Yeard of Solitud (Gabriel García Márquez, 1967) -The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (Haruki Murakami, 1995) -The Time of the Hero [La Ciudad y los Perros, en español] (Mario Vargas Llosa,1962) Gracias. :D
Most surprising read for me this year was Peace and Turmoil by Elliot Brooke. It was my first time reading an adult Fantasy. I wasn't expecting to like it so much. It was also my first time beta reading a book.
I tried to listen to The Diviner’s on audio. I love the music and slang from that time. I absolutely hated it. I don’t know if it was the reader’s voice or the actual writing. Got a couple of chapters and just couldn’t deal.
The most surprising book of the year for me was Carry On by Rainbow Rowell. I loved it. I haven't had much luck with her other books, either they were just ok or I didn't like them.
I always love pick and choosing my fav characters from each series like... Best Elizabeth: BBC show Best Jane: 2005 Movie Mr Collins: It's a tie BBC and Bollywood version lol
a storied life of A.J. Fikry (I just hauled that book) hope to read it in 2019. I agree with you on the all the boys I"ve loved before books. I loved the first one thought it was really cute. But that 2nd book just added mature content which I didn't like at all. I haven't read the 3rd book.
Nooo it's the first time I don't agree with one of your opinions, I didn't like To All the Boys I've Loved Before hahaha. Still looking foward to reading Emma and The Power, it really sounds super interesting *-*
I feel like if it had been a standalone it could have been a cute little YA contemporary. No my favorite genre so not my favorite book but it was a quick summer read. It sucks it was a trilogy though lol
What a nice surprise 'A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet' was. I haven't read sci-fi in a while and it was really enjoyable. I've heard it's a series but the second book isn't as good. What is the second book and has anyone read it?
Thank you! Thank you! for saying that Thunder Head is a cliffhanger. I wish all reviewers would just give a heads up if something is a cliffhanger or not. I am one of those people who can't wait and if a book is a cliffhanger I just buy them as they come out and wait till they are all out to read them. As always I really enjoy your reviews.
book 3 of tatbilb is miles better than book 2 in my opinion, but i definitely agree with you that the book works really well as a standalone so i honestly wouldn't say it's worth reading if you hated book 2 that much :)
Ok I know some more books about aliens. They’re called The Cocoon Triliogy by David Saperstein. The first one is called Cocoon, the second one Metamorphosis and the third one Butterfly Tomorrow’s Children. They have nice covers but are now only available in paperback. I haven’t read them or purchased them yet either. But maybe you would like them.🤶🎅🌸🍁💃🏽❤️💗💖
I was surprised I liked Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier ; for some reason, although I'd always heard greats things about this book, I had a feeling it wouldn't be for me but I thought I would try reading it anyway and I absolutely adored it so great news! :p
Forget Christmas, yearly wrap-up is the best time of year
I'm so happy that you're uploading videos this often ☺️😊😍
It's the most magical time of the year!
There are a few more videos coming up this week... and then after Xmas!
How is your skin so flawless??
Honestly, I couldn’t stop staring at your skin, you’re glowing 🙀😻

I did! Even shed a tear and I don't cry when reading!
Also read that one, really liked it too!
I am not going to lie the bookshelf in the background is so aesthetically pleasing, how one shelf is like a perfect rainbow I am impressed lol.
So happy to see some Diviners love! The series just gets better and better. Before the Devil Breaks You (the third book) was my favourite book in a year of fab books - not just because it was super fun, with great characters and an intriguing plot, but because it was so relevant to 2018, despite being an historical paranormal fantasy novel. Couldn't recommend the series more!
A huge YES to The Diviners series on audio--the narrator does a beautiful job bringing the characters to life. Hoping Book 4 will be on it's way soon!
You have such a wide range of genres! Love it!
An Emily video every day is just the perfect week😍😍😍
If everything works out... I'll have one up most days until the end of the month!
I really was surprised by The Eye of The World. I went from not thinking i was going to read it to reading three books in the series in the same year. I wish i could enjoy Emma, but i haven't been able to get into it, and I've tried twice.
If you're still wanting to try, watch the BBC show! Much easier to go through it in my opinion!
I was scared of reading Scythe and The Diviners, but after this video I'm going to.
Also, Audible Originals made an audiobook of Emma (full cast narration + Emma Thompson) which was really good and made it an easy read. They're going to make one for Northanger Abbey if I'm not mistaken.
Hessa Emad Ooh I’m gonna check that out
I absolutely loved Scythe..! Thunderhead is on my TBR list...can't wait to get to it!
Jeff Glasson same here!
I've been iffy about Scythe too. I think I am going to put it on my list of boxing day sale books to look for.
Scythe, thunderhead and the diviners are incredible, please get the audiobook of them all!
I read All Systems Red because of your recommendation and I LOVED it. It was definitely one of my favorites of the year.
Couldn't agree with you more about Thunderhead. Loved that book. Really excited for Book 3.
Thunderhead was amazing! A perfect sequel, and I'm looking forward to the third book.
Catching up on all your videos while stuck in bed with the flu, so thanks for making it a bit more bearable! Love these end of the year videos :)
"The Shrek of book series" hahaha I died
I love Shrek... especially the second one lol
@@BookswithEmilyFox I love Shrek too. It was funny how accurate the comparison was.
PLEASE continue the diviners series. It’s SO UNDERRATED
I read The Diviners series this year and loooved it! One of my top reads of the year. I just bought Scythe and plan to start that soon. The premise is very intriguing.

i gotta check out scythe sooner than later now that you've said you enjoyed it, thanks for all these wrap-up vids and your hard work!
I really want to read Scythe it looks so good.
It is! Dooooo it! 😁
always and forever, lara jean is actually good. please read it. it was my favorite out of the whole trilogy because i felt the connection with the characters like deym.
Park Sooyoung agreed

That's why I tend to wait until series are done before reading them lol
It's coming out next year but I don't think there's a date yet!
BookswithEmilyFox yes !! Now I get it !!! 😅😅 It may be even longer for me then, because I read in French 😪
I really need to be more comfortable with reading in English !

The Queen of the Tearling series ... really really loved all three books
Yes!!! Except the ending ruined ME 😭
love these end of year videos you do! it's how i found your channel last year :)
I’m loving all the frequent uploads ! 🎉
I really enjoyed sythe and thunderhead and cant wait for the third installment to come out.
THUNDERHEAD MADE ME CRY!! I finished it a week ago and I’m still thinking about it!😭
I'm currently reading To All the Boys I've Loved Before! I started it this summer but had to put it down because all oh crap happened in my life and I got into a reading slump. I restarted it a couple of days ago and so far I like it :)
I will definitely check out the storied life of aj fikry. Sounds intriguing.
Loved all the missing girls, really unique and refreshing take on a thriller.

I am so the same with middle books of series, so often disappointed!
It's way too common if finding one good is the exception! lol
Hoo boy, I already didn't think you would like A Little Life, but after hearing your typical gripes about adult contemporary I am VERY curious to hear your thoughts! :)
We'll see because I know some people thought it was too much like torture porn but maybe i won't feel like that lol

Dear Miss Emily Fox, I would like to recommend you these three titles (my all time favourites):
-One Hundred Yeard of Solitud (Gabriel García Márquez, 1967)
-The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (Haruki Murakami, 1995)
-The Time of the Hero [La Ciudad y los Perros, en español] (Mario Vargas Llosa,1962)
Gracias. :D
I agree with the first book, not the third.... I absolutely hated that Vargas Llosa book :/
I agree with #1. It's one of my fave books and I've read it in English (tried to read the Spanish but my Spanish isn't that great)
Hi Emily I also think that book 2 in the To All the Boys I Loved before is not necessary.
Most surprising read for me this year was Peace and Turmoil by Elliot Brooke. It was my first time reading an adult Fantasy. I wasn't expecting to like it so much. It was also my first time beta reading a book.
Agree with you on Andromeda. Crichton got better in his later years.
The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry definitely played with my heart
Scythe was definitely my favorite book of the year. :)
I tried to listen to The Diviner’s on audio. I love the music and slang from that time. I absolutely hated it. I don’t know if it was the reader’s voice or the actual writing. Got a couple of chapters and just couldn’t deal.
The most surprising book of the year for me was Carry On by Rainbow Rowell. I loved it. I haven't had much luck with her other books, either they were just ok or I didn't like them.
You should check out Jennifer McMahon winter people is so good
Hi, I’m new here, just wanted to tell you that you have a freaking cute laugh! Brb gonna binge watch ur whole channel
Yay another Emily video. 😍
State of Fear by Micheal Crichton is very good!
Scythe!
my most surprising read of the year was An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green. I feel like I’ll never shut up about that book. ever.
I'm on the waiting list at my library!
+
Great video! Just seeing the cover of 'The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry' makes me happy. Loved that book SO much
Thunderhead was my favorite book of the year.
I agree the BBC Pride and Prejudice is absolutely the best!
I always love pick and choosing my fav characters from each series like...
Best Elizabeth: BBC show
Best Jane: 2005 Movie
Mr Collins: It's a tie BBC and Bollywood version lol
a storied life of A.J. Fikry (I just hauled that book) hope to read it in 2019. I agree with you on the all the boys I"ve loved before books. I loved the first one thought it was really cute. But that 2nd book just added mature content which I didn't like at all. I haven't read the 3rd book.
Émilie, il faut que tu lises Oryx and Crake de Margaret Atwood! Je sens que tu vas aimer!
thank you for the recommendations! ^^
I loved 🌹💕The Storied Life of AJ Fickery 🌻🌸🎅☃️❄️🌲
You forgot the 🎒= )
Nooo it's the first time I don't agree with one of your opinions, I didn't like To All the Boys I've Loved Before hahaha. Still looking foward to reading Emma and The Power, it really sounds super interesting *-*
I feel like if it had been a standalone it could have been a cute little YA contemporary. No my favorite genre so not my favorite book but it was a quick summer read. It sucks it was a trilogy though lol
Read Travels by Michael Crichton. It’s his memoir but it’s so interesting
What a nice surprise 'A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet' was. I haven't read sci-fi in a while and it was really enjoyable. I've heard it's a series but the second book isn't as good. What is the second book and has anyone read it?
this is the fastesst i everr clicked onn a viiideoooo beenn dyinng foorr thiiss
Thank you! Thank you! for saying that Thunder Head is a cliffhanger. I wish all reviewers would just give a heads up if something is a cliffhanger or not. I am one of those people who can't wait and if a book is a cliffhanger I just buy them as they come out and wait till they are all out to read them. As always I really enjoy your reviews.
I read Lair of Dreams rn, I like it but it is damn slow-paced
book 3 of tatbilb is miles better than book 2 in my opinion, but i definitely agree with you that the book works really well as a standalone so i honestly wouldn't say it's worth reading if you hated book 2 that much :)
Michael Chricton is a good read
I loved all systems red. I wish the rest of the series was better.
Ok I know some more books about aliens. They’re called The Cocoon Triliogy by David Saperstein. The first one is called Cocoon, the second one Metamorphosis and the third one Butterfly Tomorrow’s Children. They have nice covers but are now only available in paperback. I haven’t read them or purchased them yet either. But maybe you would like them.🤶🎅🌸🍁💃🏽❤️💗💖
I was surprised I liked Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier ; for some reason, although I'd always heard greats things about this book, I had a feeling it wouldn't be for me but I thought I would try reading it anyway and I absolutely adored it so great news! :p
I really enjoyed this vedio😘
Is Scythe a YA?
