@@HalJonesit’s so cute how you made mark read fourth wing! it’s my fave book of all time. and the fact that you loved it so much to let him enjoy it too is so sweet!! 💜⚔️🔥
We coincidentally started reading around the same time! And it feels like we’re on the reader journey together 🥰✨ I’m two books into the Throne of Glass series 👀
I would definitely recommend that if ur confused by six of crows to read the shadow and bone series first. It explains the magic system a lot better than six of crows and the plot is A LOT easier to follow. Ik a lot of people have mixed opinions on it but I personally really liked the series especially the last book. ❤
i think you made a good decision on six of crows! because it does have a slower start you definitely have to be in the mood to read it haha! so glad you enjoyed acotar and shatter me!! acomaf is my fave of the series so also super excited to hear your thoughts when you get to it!!
That is SO cute that your husband reads in bed with you! Every time I ask my boyfriend if he’ll read one of my favorite books he says “I don’t know how to read”. It’s a joke of course, but I wish he would just try it! Lol. I love your content❤️
LOL i am definitely so grateful he was willing to try bc now he’s having such a good time hahahaha but it def depends on the book i think bc i don’t think he would have read just a straight up romance lol
So glad you loved ACOTAR. I actually just finished the second book today... It was so incredibly good. Though I am dying a little because book 3 doesn't come in the mail until tomorrow. The waiting is excruciating!!! Thanks for getting me through today!
ikr It blew me away. Now I am waiting for Silver Flames. These books put a halt to all of my book reading plans! Now I know why everyone was so excited!!!@@AyBayBay196
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the rest of the ACOTAR series. The others are way better than the first. I loved Shatter Me when I read it years ago. I read the first 3 and never finished it. I don’t remember much so I plan on rereading the series. I hope you get to Six of Crows soon! I also would love to hear what your husband thought of Fourth Wing. Maybe convince him to start his own booktube channel lol.
Pumped for Mark to read fourth wing! I also can’t wait to read these series I’m a series binger though! I finished a 6 books series with two novellas in a week- Fractured Ever After series by M. L. Philpitt all on KU mafia romance fairytale type series
I struggled with the first ACOTAR book (listened to it on audio and had to DNF it a couple times). I think people struggle with it because of the worldbuilding. But I decided to push through and so glad I did because now I’m obsessed with it! Currently reading ACOWAR! The fact that you loved the first book tells me you’re gonna absolutely love the rest of the series🤍✨🧚
I have a cousin i talk to about books sometimes. She reads too but not like I do! I need a bestie who reads like I do so I can talk about books more! Also that sweatshirt is so cute!
@@HalJones if she does please update us! I'll have to look into a book club. I have thought about it. I just am trying to read books from my shelves and for this year only buy what's already on a list. So I'll have to think about the book club some more. Thanks for the tip !
not me about to try and force my husband to read now too LMAO jk. he usually games while I read so it works out perfectly but y’all are so cuttttieeee💗💗💗
I just started ACOTAR a couple days ago! I read TOG last year and im hoping to finish ACOTAR and Crescent City this year. I absolutely love the Sarah J. Maas universe. I also completely don't understand why people said the first one was hard to get into. I'm loving the story and the characters and having such a fun time reading it!!
I love your videos and your family. I am amazed by how you balance being a mom while reading. I have 2 kids, a teenager and an 8yr. Old and it takes me forever to get through one book !!😂 Can you please tell me your reading schedule ? I need help.
I really want to read ACOTAR, Fourth Wing and Shadow and Bone (so I can read Six of Crows, cause that's what I'm really excited for) but right now I'm in the mood for historical fiction, regency era period piece books. If you want a book rec, especially if you want an indie one, a good one I'm reading rn is The Herbwitch's Apprentice :D
I encountered someone who had difficulty reading the first ACOTAR book. I struggled a little, but managed to push through it and enjoyed it in the end!
Hey Hal! I loved this video so much! I know it sounds kind of dumb, but you have no idea how much you representing mood readers means to me! I am a mood reader and it’s so so difficult for me to find books to read and to keep interest in books. You make me feel like it’s normal and it’s not such a weird thing. I never see anyone like that in the book community and I appreciate the representation so much! Mood readers and readers that don’t read 6 books a week are still readers! ❤🫶
Omg not dumb at all!!! I really appreciate you commenting this bc I feel like I still didn’t fully know “what a mood reader” is bc I never hear anyone really talk about it but like I always want to read at least 4 different books back and forth and I cannot force myself to finish a book if I’m not in the mood for it!!! I will definitely make sure to keep sharing about it bc it feels so good to not be alone!! 🩷
@@HalJonesYeah I totally agree! For me, it’s like losing interest in books a lot and the books I’m in the mood to read change all the time. I can’t force myself to read a book that I’m not in the mood for, or I’ll get into a slump. I experience slumps more often as well just because I have a hard time picking my next read since my mood changes. Sometimes I’m not in the mood to read any specific books which is really difficult because I want to read but I feel no motivation. I also have a difficult time with long chapters. I know it doesn’t sound super pretty but that’s just how it is for me. But when I find a book I love, I really really love it! I love hearing the representation and I appreciate you showing it! Keep doing what you’re doing!!! ❤❤❤❤
I wish I could read more (cause my goal is 50 books this year, which I've surprisingly already read 5) but I'm also a writer/author, so I have to balance out my time
Perhaps you can read the Shadow and Bone trilogy first before diving into the Six of Crows duology if you find it too confusing. It's not a must, but it might help! And I really enjoyed reading the Shadow and Bone trilogy :)
I love this video and acotar I am currently reading on and off when I'm in the mood.....I'm a mood reader now so i have like 3 or 4 books going lol but thank you for sharing....can't wait for more videos sending love
@@HalJones oh yes so weird but i love it 😀😍 one minute I'm reading a thriller and then a romance then a thriller and yet I'm loving it so much....so glad to have such an amazing group of of book lovers like watching your videos makes me want to read alot even when I'm in a slump...thank you for being my inspiration ❤
it gets better with Sarah J. Maas. My favorite book was Queen of Shadows in Throne of Glass series and A court of Mist and Fury in Avotar. My favorite book of Cresent City is House of Sky and Breath.
I also loved the first ACOTR book! Never understood why some people didn’t like it. I’m excited that you have started it! Also it’s so cute that you and your husband read side by side in bed. 🥹❤️ Mine isn’t interested in reading books. 😫😄
Yesss I thought it was SO GOOD!!! Also I’m so glad he was open to at least starting it to see so that we can gossip about the characters and he’ll actually know what I’m talking about LOL he definitely wouldn’t read all the books I read but if I read one I really think he’d like then he’ll try it at least!
I really when to start reading a court of thrones and roses but at my local book shops Kmart etc. it’s all sold out 😅 btw Hal have you annotated any new books since powerless by Lauren Robert’s?
I was disappointed by the shatter me series, these are books I would have loved when I was 14, and it’s been so hyped on social medias that I was waiting for better, and I think that we have a lot of unanswered questions at the end of the book
As someone who also has ADHD I wanna warn you. Six of crows made 0 sense when I tried to read it. I dnf’ed it and read the shadow and bone trilogy first, it wasn’t that good but it made me understand the grisha world. When I read six of crows after I LOVED the six of crows duology. I know you’re a new reader so that’s why I’m recommending you to read shadow and bone first! Don’t want you getting a slump over one of the best books simply bc it’s difficult if you don’t understand the grishaverse
god ur kid at the beginning of the video just gave me so much life bless him
Hahaha he’s so funny I love him sm 🥹🫶🏼
@@HalJonesit’s so cute how you made mark read fourth wing! it’s my fave book of all time. and the fact that you loved it so much to let him enjoy it too is so sweet!! 💜⚔️🔥
he looks so much like her it’s so cute
ok but the ‘don’t read anything, don’t read anything’ while checking how many pages are in the book is just so real-😭
I am 100% a mood reader. the ADHD will not allow for anything else! it also becomes a problem when i have 6 books i want to read all at the same time
Yesss like sometimes it’s so hard to pick one to read bc u equally want to read like 4 of them!!!! Lol
We coincidentally started reading around the same time! And it feels like we’re on the reader journey together 🥰✨
I’m two books into the Throne of Glass series 👀
Omg I loveeee this how cute!!! 🩷
It's always the last 100 pages with SJM books!!

Hallie, if you are in a hockey romance Mile high by Liz Tomforde or a romantasy Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare
Perhaps you can read the Shadow and Bone trilogy first before diving into the Six of Crows duology if you find it too confusing. It's not a must, but it might help! And I really enjoyed reading the Shadow and Bone trilogy :)

The first novella tho ! From the pov of Aaron is absolutely AMAZING
when you get to ACOMAF you’ll understand why everyone thinks the you will suffer through first book.
As someone who also has ADHD I wanna warn you. Six of crows made 0 sense when I tried to read it.

RIGHT?!!! she doesn’t sell them rn but if she starts selling them I’ll make sure to update in a vlog!! 🩷
Love love loveee ur content omg 🫶🏼🥹
Ahhh thank you sm 🥲🥰🫶🏼
Also I LOVE YOU💖💖💖💖💖

Unpopular opinion but I rated the first book of ACOTAR the highest 😭
I thought it was SO GOOD too?!
My dream: Finding a man that cuddles up in bed with me so we can both read a book ❤ that was so cute to watch😊
It has been so fun to read with him and see his reactions 🥹
Did anyone else not like acomaf as much as acotar or is that just me?
when you get to ACOMAF you’ll understand why everyone thinks the you will suffer through first book.
LOL
