I feel like Laini Taylor's writing definitely fits what I'd call "magical". I really fell in love with her short story collection Lips Touch Three Times because additionally to her magical, whimsical writing, it's also got these wonderful watercolour illustrations. (I don't know if you've read it, but I think everyone should read it so this is just a recommendation for everyone.)
If you like Uprooted, you might want to check out Deathless by Catherynne M Valente! It's based on Russian folklore... the writing is beautiful and it's really fascinating.
I love your channel! I am slowly going through your favorite fantasy novels. You got me into Throne of Glass series and for that, I am forever in your debt!
Anyone else wondering how big Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Illustrated book will be? I have the illustrated Philosopher's Stone and it's kind of big and chunky for such a small original book...Ootp is gonna be like over a 1000 pages isn't it....
I am so glad you did this video! I am not a fan of scary stuff either and that is pretty much all I have been seeing all mouth and it's really nice to see someone mix it up!
The Search for Wondla sounds great! The book looks like a fairy tale book! Not surprised a Harry Potter book found its way in your recommendations. Planning to re-read them all during December!
This is actually my first time seeing your videos but- Ugh I'm already subscribed now because you are fantastic and so energetic! Plus holy crap you like Maggie. I feel the same way you do, people need to read those books so much. Holy heck I'm happy I saw you on my recommended channels because seriously- You're so great. And I'll get more ideas for what to read too. And that makes me very happy as a fellow book hoarder. And I also have the Illustrated Harry Potter book. It's so pretty and I love it and! Oh goshhh.
Thank you for including WondLa! I read it a few years ago and I reread it all the time because it's so intricate and cool and whimsical. Not many people know about it though, and it deserves quite a lot of hype if you ask me!
I bought Uprooted a few days ago and I'm SO excited to read it. I already know I'm going to love it. I hope to have a review up by the end of the month :) The Raven Boys and The Scorpio Races have been on my tbr for ages. Really do need to buy them...
Definitely adding The Glass Sentence and Uprooted to my TBR list. They sound so interesting! I'm an avid fantasy enthusiast myself, and some of my favorite magical/whimsical books (that aren't ones that I know you've read Reagan) are the Sister's Grimm series, the Neverending Story (which is an absolutely amazing classic that is surprisingly quite different than the movie, but doesn't take away from the experience of the movie in my opinion), The Order of Odd-fish (which isn't so much magical as it is whimsical and quirky), and The Golem and the Jinni (which I actually read initially because I saw it in a video of yours and thought the cover was pretty).
I feel as if you'd make a great English teacher. Also, The Fininshing school series is a really good series by Gail Carriger. The first book is called Ettiquette and Espionage. She wrote the Soulless series
Really good recommendations. I looked at the illustrated HP last week and loved it, will be adding it to my collection sometime.If you like historical novels with magic, vampires, demons etc the try The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness.
I've been reading Harry Potter to my sons, and we just finished the Philosopher's Stone when the illustrated one came out. I'm going to have to acquire these for them, but I'll probably wait until they're all out. :) The images are STUNNING from what I've seen.
I love, love The Raven Boys. And I really want to read Uprooted; I have an e-book copy on hold that will hopefully come soon. And I'm also currently making my way through The Search for WondLa (after your recommendation) but had to put it down because I just received a slew of new releases that I was super excited for. And I really need to pick up my own copy of the illustrated Harry Potter book; I haven't re-read this series in forever.
OMG can I just say that I love this video and I can't believe I didn't find your channel earlier? I've already added like, half of the books from your list onto my to read list and I'm so excited you make them sound so exciting and then I get excited and can you tell I'm getting excited? Haha, anyways, have you read any of Diana Wynne Jone's books? She wrote Howl's Moving Castle which was adapted into one of Miyazaki's films :)
The Glass Sentence part reminded me of "ATale of Time City", by Diana Wynne Jones! I read that when i was missing her stories (Howl's Moving Castle "trilogy" fan, here!) and i really liked it!
i really wanna read the scorpio races beacuse i loved Maggie Stefiuvater's trc series. And yes HP illustrated edition. Yes what is more magical than having a book with magic and nostalgic memories!!!
I'm at the middle of The Scorpio Races! And it's pretty amazing And I really liked what you say of Uprooted and The Search of Wondla they seem very interesting I want them!
You're the 2nd person I've heard talk about Glass Sentence and give it a good review so I feel like I should give it a try because it does sound like a good story. And Uprooted is definitely on my list and I really want that specific cover but I don't want to spend too much money for it.
Guilty!! I havent read The Raven Boys and i should because I enjoyed The Scorpio Races. Thanks for sharing your magical recommendations I dont like to be terrified either, in books or movies.
I'm going to read the Raven Boys next month, and currently read The Name of the Wind. As a child did you read The Velveteen Rabbit? That's a really great magical read for children. The Forgotten Garden is another one, similar to The Secret Garden.
You should definitely read the Edge Chronicles, like Beyond the Deepwoods! There are really nice illustrations and they are whimsical and magical! There are so many in the series, but you don't have to read them all because it's a collection of trilogies! They're middle grade but great!
The atmosphere of The Raven Boys series is incredible. Someone else here has recommended The Night Circus - that is a DEFINITE magical atmosphere book. I feel like it grows each time it's read.
the only one I've already read from this list was the Search for Wondla. I liked it a lot; especially the setting and concept behind the story. The illustrations are also lovely. I thought the characters fell a little short of being completely believable and 3 dimensional. But overall I definitely think it's worth a read because it's so original and unique and it really leaves you wondering how everything came to be that way! Haven't read the rest of the trilogy yet but I plan to.
I recommend the Song of the Lioness series :) It's about twins who both have natural magical talents however while the male is fascinated by it scares the female who'd rather learn to fight. The story starts off when their widower father decides to send them off for schooling - the boy to become a knight (since they're nobles) and the girl to become a sorcerer. Obviously neither of the twins liked the idea of that and so they get the idea to switch places, so the combat loving girl could learn to become a knight and magic loving boy a sorcerer. They're able to pull it off because they're still very young (between 8 and 10, can't remember exactly because it's been a while) and are identical. In these books it's not weird for males to learn magic however it is mostly seen as a female thing. We follow the female as she grows up and schools in knighthood, learns and struggles to high her gender amongst her male peers, and adventures into the world. While it does have her experience lust and romance it does not heavily focus on them nor does she let it be a distraction, and she isn't a bland angelic virginal trope. She is a badass who doesn't take shit and tries to be practical :) I'll end there because I don't want to give spoilers ~
Hey, Regan... First of all, I love your videos and your recommendations... Nowadays I'm not into this kind of books anymore, but with this video, you caught me, girl. I felt a strange necessity to once again open my mind for those magical worlds... So, I think I'm going to read "The Mapmakers Trilogy"... 1)Have you already read "Carry On"(Rainbow Rowell)? [I want to read this book so badly!!!!] 2) I'm sorry for my English, it isn't my native language... I'm from Brazil. So... XOXO
I'd personally recommend The Blood Guard by Carter Roy. I read that one very recently and I really enjoyed it! It's a quick read, very action-packed, nice amount of humour and the way it was written is kinda reminiscent of Percy Jackson :)
I would recommend Trudi Canavan's Black Magician series. I loved it and I don't usually see her books mentioned on Booktube so check it out if you haven't :) lovely recommendations btw. Definitely added a couple to my list.
The only book I have read in your list there is the Scorpio races which I agree is 👍 (as well as the seven realms series which was just a mention but 👍👍👍) The rest of the books are on my tbr list but I'm on a book buying ban so I can't buy them just yet! Recommendations: I'm assuming you've read the Golden Compass series by Philip Pullman Reagan. And I really really recommend any of the books set in Tortall (there are about 4 different quartets to choose from) by Tamora Pierce. Tammy's books are what got me into fantasy and young adult novels and I cannot recommend them enough! I particularly love the immortals quartet and the protector of the small quartet. Hope that helps!
I'm actually surprised that you didn't recommend Ava Lavender, I would count that as an October read. And you know to spread the love on the book as well!
If you haven't already, you should totally read The Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman! It's a stand-alone but there are companion novels following the same world but with just different characters too! I read it a long time ago, but I still love the magical concept of the world as well as the adorable characters :D
Ah this isn't about your reading recommendations (although I usually buy and read all of the books you do recommend)! Where are your glasses from? I've been searching everywhere for a frame like that! Also I absolutely loved "The Raven Boys".
Hey Regan, why not give Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal a try? It's like the works of Jane Austen but with a bit of magic tossed in, really fun read.
You got me at Miyazaki. 😂 I must read that book now! And I have the 2nd book for Howl's Moving Castle series and I really need the first! So bad! I love Studio Ghibli films, especially Spirited Away! I want to read more books that has that magical feel to them.
Yes I'm not a fan of scary books either! I just posted my no scare reading recommendations Regan we're in synch. You should try Half Bad by Sally Green it's my fave magic book ever!
Hi Love your videos. My recommendation would be the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. It is full of magic and history. There are deamos, vampires and witches. Not sure if this is something you are interested in but if it is, I would highly recommend it!
You should read the 13 Treasures Trilogy! It's about evil fairies and it's very magical. The author is called Michelle Harrison. And she wrote a ghost story too. It's titled Unrest.
Carry On by Rainbow Rowell! It starts off kind of Harry Potter ripoff-y, but it grows out of it and the magic system in it is so cool. It's not as hardcore fantasy as a lot of book and it has a lot of contemporaryness in it because Rainbow Rowell normally writes contemporary.
by the way, this isn't new, but I recommend you Memory, Sorrow and Thorn by Tad Williams. A key inspiration to Game Of Thrones, and as epic and detailed, minus all the graphic sex and violence.
Regan! Where did you get your copy of Uprooted? The cover of the American version from Amazon is uhhhhh how do I put this....ugly LOL and I really want the version that you have
Diana Wynne Jones. I don't care how old anyone is, her books are literally the most magical things I've ever read and are 95% of the reason I love fantasy so much today.
My favourite magical read is "A Discovery Of Witches" by Deborah Harkness! It's a paranormal, (witches and vampires primarily) romantic, historical, scientific thrill ride. Like I said it's my favourite read EVER!
I felt like that pink cat was staring into my soul. LOL
Honestly I keep waiting for the other half of that deer to emerge out of the wall
it was the first thing I noticed lol
have you thought about doing a bookshelf tour? just wondering, I would love to watch it!
I feel like Laini Taylor's writing definitely fits what I'd call "magical". I really fell in love with her short story collection Lips Touch Three Times because additionally to her magical, whimsical writing, it's also got these wonderful watercolour illustrations. (I don't know if you've read it, but I think everyone should read it so this is just a recommendation for everyone.)
did you read Daughter Of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor? it's amazing!!!
If you like Uprooted, you might want to check out Deathless by Catherynne M Valente! It's based on Russian folklore... the writing is beautiful and it's really fascinating.
Love hearing new book recommendations! I haven't read many magical books so this video was a great place to start!
I really want to read The Raven Boys. And omg I need my hands on that illustrated version of Harry Potter!
The Raven Boys is sooo good!
THE RAVEN BOYS IS SO GOOD READ THE OTHERS IN THE SERIES AS WELL
I want it tooooo!!!!!!!
Glass Sentence seems like just the book I've been looking for. Thanks for the recommendations. Glad I found your channel!
I love your channel! I am slowly going through your favorite fantasy novels. You got me into Throne of Glass series and for that, I am forever in your debt!
Anyone else wondering how big Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Illustrated book will be? I have the illustrated Philosopher's Stone and it's kind of big and chunky for such a small original book...Ootp is gonna be like over a 1000 pages isn't it....
I am so glad you did this video! I am not a fan of scary stuff either and that is pretty much all I have been seeing all mouth and it's really nice to see someone mix it up!
I've never heard of the Glass Sentence before but with your description about it, sounds like something I might like
I just started reading Uprooted and I absolutely love it ! thank you for the recommendation 😊
Regan please do an updated bookshelf tour! Your shelves are so pretty!!
Me gustaron tus recomendaciones. Gracias!
The Search for Wondla sounds great! The book looks like a fairy tale book! Not surprised a Harry Potter book found its way in your recommendations. Planning to re-read them all during December!
You have such amazing timing, I was just looking for more books to read!
Awesome video! I agree, not the biggest fan of scary books :/ Thanks for the magical recommendations!! :)
The Glass Sentence sounds so interesting, the time zone thing is so intriguing, I'm definitely going to pick that up!
This is actually my first time seeing your videos but- Ugh I'm already subscribed now because you are fantastic and so energetic! Plus holy crap you like Maggie. I feel the same way you do, people need to read those books so much. Holy heck I'm happy I saw you on my recommended channels because seriously- You're so great.

The Raven Boys and The Scorpio Races have been on my tbr for ages. Really do need to buy them...
The Scorpio Races has been sitting on my shelf for quite a while, need to pick it up!
Definitely adding The Glass Sentence and Uprooted to my TBR list. They sound so interesting!

You have a magical ability to make me want to read Every. Single. Book. that you recommend! :D Keep doing what you do, girl! You're amazing!
that uprooted cover is gorgeous! i cant find one like it
These all sound so cool! The Scorpio Races sounds amazing :O
The Glass Sentence sounds amazing, added to tbr. Also yes the Raven Cycle
Regan, you're my queen tbh💕
Btw, pretty much all of these went to my TBR list
Oops
I feel as if you'd make a great English teacher. Also, The Fininshing school series is a really good series by Gail Carriger. The first book is called Ettiquette and Espionage. She wrote the Soulless series
Nice video. I'm gonna read The Scorpio Races, loved it.
Really good recommendations. I looked at the illustrated HP last week and loved it, will be adding it to my collection sometime.If you like historical novels with magic, vampires, demons etc the try The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness.
Also the Uprooted cover is BEAUTIFUL
I love the Scorpio Races, and I have been eyeing-off the Raven Boys series. I think you have definitely persuaded me to pick up the first volume.
Because of you i did pick up the raven boys and now i NEED the next book, like yesterday!!
I've been reading Harry Potter to my sons, and we just finished the Philosopher's Stone when the illustrated one came out. I'm going to have to acquire these for them, but I'll probably wait until they're all out. :) The images are STUNNING from what I've seen.

I think I'll check out The Glass Sentence and The Warrior Heir. Thank you Regan!

The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender is incredibly MAGICAL. I finished it yesterday and loved it so much!
do you by any chances remember where you got that pink cat poster? i am totally in love with it!
I've just read Uprooted for Booktober and it was beautiful, I knew I was going to like it I just didn't realise I was going to love it :)
You should definitely read the Edge Chronicles, like Beyond the Deepwoods! There are really nice illustrations and they are whimsical and magical! There are so many in the series, but you don't have to read them all because it's a collection of trilogies! They're middle grade but great!
The pink cat pic is so cute haha

Love it thank you so much I really appreciate it 💓💖🐍
You should check of the Magicians series! It's a really wonderful more adult kind of magic book,and I really liked it!
One of my favorite magical reads is the Night Circus by Erin Morginstern. It is a perfect book to read in the fall/winter months!
I recommend the Song of the Lioness series :)
It's about twins who both have natural magical talents however while the male is fascinated by it scares the female who'd rather learn to fight. The story starts off when their widower father decides to send them off for schooling - the boy to become a knight (since they're nobles) and the girl to become a sorcerer.

CINDY WILLIAMS CHIMA is
Favorite magical read of all time (and one of my favorite books of all time) Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
Where did you get that cover of uprooted? I cant find that one on amazon and its so beautiful!

I was almost certain you'd include The strange and beautiful sorrows of ava lavender haha
Great recommendations though!
The only book I have read in your list there is the Scorpio races which I agree is 👍 (as well as the seven realms series which was just a mention but 👍👍👍) The rest of the books are on my tbr list but I'm on a book buying ban so I can't buy them just yet!

I'm actually surprised that you didn't recommend Ava Lavender, I would count that as an October read. And you know to spread the love on the book as well!
I need to pick Uprooted asap since you compared it to Miyasaki now!
Hi - did you ever read the Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull? Our family really enjoyed them a lot.
If you haven't already, you should totally read The Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman! It's a stand-alone but there are companion novels following the same world but with just different characters too! I read it a long time ago, but I still love the magical concept of the world as well as the adorable characters :D
I freaked out when I first saw the new Harry Potter book in the store. I can't wait to read it.
finally!! someone else has read Scorpio Races one of my all time favorite books!!
Ah this isn't about your reading recommendations (although I usually buy and read all of the books you do recommend)!
Where are your glasses from? I've been searching everywhere for a frame like that! Also I absolutely loved "The Raven Boys".
Hey Regan, why not give Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal a try? It's like the works of Jane Austen but with a bit of magic tossed in, really fun read.
You got me at Miyazaki. 😂 I must read that book now! And I have the 2nd book for Howl's Moving Castle series and I really need the first! So bad! I love Studio Ghibli films, especially Spirited Away! I want to read more books that has that magical feel to them.
Completely agree with Miyazaki and Spirited Away! How do you like the Howl's moving castle books? They are on my humongous tbr lol
Another magical/fantasy book that Miyasaki turned into film is The Tales of Earthsea :)
WrinkleinTime42 Yes! Another one that I've seen the movie but not read the book (yet).
The only book that I missed on your list was A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab. It's amazing!!
Have you read The Name of the Wind yet? It's sooo good and definitely worth reading.
I was expecting 'The Night Circus' by Erin Morgenstern on this list. But still a great list though, I will be checking some of these books out!
I was wondering what the difference is between urban fantasy and paranormal, as I feel they're similar unless I'm missing something?
Regan what do you do with the boxes of your box sets?
you should read the emerald atlas. it's a trilogy I'm not sure if the last book has come out yet. but I've read the first one and it was really good.
Yes I'm not a fan of scary books either! I just posted my no scare reading recommendations Regan we're in synch. You should try Half Bad by Sally Green it's my fave magic book ever!
I missed you so much!!!!
The secrets of the immortal Nicholas Flamel is also an amazing magical series!!! (magicians, ghosts, mythology...)
where is your shirt from, i love it!
Nothing to do with the video but hey, I really like that top you're wearing! Where's it from?
Hi Love your videos. My recommendation would be the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. It is full of magic and history. There are deamos, vampires and witches. Not sure if this is something you are interested in but if it is, I would highly recommend it!
omg i want all the books especially raven boys 😍😍😍😍
Carry On by Rainbow Rowell!
also The Dark Tower series by Stephen King
Peter Pan is definitely a solid fave, most people have read it but I love it so much I reread it about once a year
Oh my goodness Regan thank you so much!
You should read the 13 Treasures Trilogy! It's about evil fairies and it's very magical. The author is called Michelle Harrison. And she wrote a ghost story too. It's titled Unrest.
Carry On by Rainbow Rowell! It starts off kind of Harry Potter ripoff-y, but it grows out of it and the magic system in it is so cool. It's not as hardcore fantasy as a lot of book and it has a lot of contemporaryness in it because Rainbow Rowell normally writes contemporary.
The Inkheart Trilogy! That series is just immersed in magic.
That Uprooted book cover tho................... I must have it.
You would love The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. It's so magical and captivating and I loved it soooooooo soooooooo much.
I need the New harry potter illustrated edition! But it was like $40 ! So I sat in the store for and hour and skimmed through it:P
I recommend the Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa and Winterspell by Claire Legrand
by the way, this isn't new, but I recommend you Memory, Sorrow and Thorn by Tad Williams. A key inspiration to Game Of Thrones, and as epic and detailed, minus all the graphic sex and violence.
Michael Smith no sex and violence? Where’s the fun then? 😂
One of my favorite magical series is Magyk by Angie Sage. It is so cute and so much fun!
Regan! Where did you get your copy of Uprooted? The cover of the American version from Amazon is uhhhhh how do I put this....ugly LOL and I really want the version that you have
+shyyn33 It's the UK version!
Diana Wynne Jones. I don't care how old anyone is, her books are literally the most magical things I've ever read and are 95% of the reason I love fantasy so much today.
My favourite magical read is "A Discovery Of Witches" by Deborah Harkness! It's a paranormal, (witches and vampires primarily) romantic, historical, scientific thrill ride. Like I said it's my favourite read EVER!
