Haley's 5 Star Books (hope you find this easier!) Wicked prince Queen of nothing Crown of midnight Dial A for Aunties Ignite Me Better than the Movies The summer of broken rules 99 days One true loves The roughest draft The cheat sheet - Conversations with friends Mary Jane The bodyguard Lock every door The house across the lake Nora Goes off script Ender’s game A Court of Wings and Ruin Dance of thieves Vow of thieves LOVE U HALEY!!
This 60yo granny agrees. She is one of a very few who I believe actually reads the book. She remembers the plot, the twists, and the characters names. I watch other booktube channels and they are always looking up the names etc. I often wonder if they read the whole book. Well, Haley, a trip to Barnes and Noble is in order...poor me, lol.
I started reading the cruel prince but the first chapter or so was boring so I stopped and I can't find any good books to read atm. I've read 200 books last year. Basically, all the popular ones and I'd love if someone could recommend me some good ones for 2023.
you've really made me try reading out again, after years of me just not being able to sit down and properly read a book, thank you so very much, Haley. the series this year that managed to hook me back in was Heartstopper, which i know are graphic novels, but the story is so incredibly interesting and well told, that it made me crave more as soon as i finished them (at least what's out), so i got Alice Oseman's entire bibliography. i wholeheartedly recommend all of it!
I love your videos. They made reading so much more fun. My five stars were: - The folk of the air trilogy - The American Roommate experiment (romcom) - Serpent and Dove (only book 1 - fantasy romance) - Addicted to you - A good girl's guide to murder (book 1 - have no read book 2 or 3 yet - mystery thriller) - Ruthless rival (contemporary romance) - Crazy for this girl (contemporary romance) - Pride and prejudice (literary classic romance) - The deal (contemporary romance) - His and hers (mystery thriller)
I read the cruel prince series because of you and absolutely loved it!! You got me out of my reading funk with it and I couldn’t be more grateful. You always have the best recommendations ❤❤ now I just need to read better than the movies 😊
I read Better Than The Movies this month and WOW WOW WOW IM IN LOVE. I haven’t read a book that made me feel like that in a while and I have extreme book hangover from it 😅
i know it’s been forever since they came out but could you please do a video about reading all the harry potter books in a week. i’m sad it’s been 20 yrs since the movies and i’ve been craving HP content lately. love your channel and how you openly share your faith 🤍
Haley probably won’t see this, but thanks for making me fall back into love with reading. Every time I finish watching a book video of yours, it makes me motivated to pick up and read a book❤
Highly recommend the original Mistborn trilogy (1-3) by Brandon Sanderson. It's a complete trilogy on its own and was one of the series that propelled me to try out more of the high/epic adult fantasy.
spock is such a crucial part of this channel. i love just watching him sit on Haley's lap and the way he keeps putting his paw on her hand when she's gesticulating and he looks up to see her face ah its everything to me
I am so happy you talked about Mary Jane. That is one of the best books I read last year and it is SO UNDERRATED AND HILARIOUS!!! I would seriously recommend it to anyone - so good and wholesome
Haley I highly recommend last time I lied by Riley Sager! It’s my favourite of his and has a summer camp / woods type setting which I think you’d love!!
I have literally enjoyed watching your booktube videos all throughout 2022! You have genuinely encouraged me to read more books and expand the genres that i read. We love you Haley
The only reason I bought Dial A for Aunties was how when you first showed it to us, you described everything I wanted to hear in a book. I ended up getting it for christmas and I am so excited to read it!
Reading is not just enough". Take the action! Put your newfound knowledge to use. I read for a long time but Action made my life change in no time ( generally and mostly financially) That's my two cents on this
I struggle to follow through, especially financially. I earn quite enough but hardly have a saving. Rent, bills, debt, expenses take it all away. It almost feels like I leave paycheck to paycheck:)
Live below your means, Adjust your lifestyle, be frugal in spending don't buy unnecessary stuff, Budget your spending and your debts, Save, Invest it's a better way to grow wealth, get a financial expert to help you.
I started reading again this year and I was so happy to see you were making book videos because I had also juts gotten back into watching your videos after like 3 years and it has helped me grow and learn about new books so much!!!!
I love no spice . I used to search for hours for the books having no spice because most youtubers are so crazy about thr spice and fantasy only.....well that obviously there choice......,..but you are the only booktuber I know who suggests actually clean books . I am 17 and have been reading for a year now and had read about 20 + novels most of them are YA romance. So you are the person I was searching for so long. I really lovr your recommendations. I know I am too late for this video but I love the books you suggest and talked about here.....Will definitely give them a try...... Sending lots of love to you...❤❤❤
Haley, love your reviews. I really enjoyed 'The Siberia Job' a white-knuckle ride! The author expertly captures the chaos of post-Soviet Russia with a flair for tension and historical detail. It's a 'can't-put-down' kind of book - fast-paced, exhilarating, and packed with suspense!
Haley if you liked the Dance of Thieves Duology, you would love the Remnant Chronicles! It’s by the same author in the same world but chronologically comes before Dance of Thieves. It’s a phenomenal series and you can really fly through it!
I've loved your reading videos so much!!!! I always get excited when I see you posted a new one!! I'm currently reading the ballad of never after, I'm loving it! And it's really great to hear your reviews of books because we have such similar reading tastes! Here's some recs that I think you might like, they're some of my favorite series. -the school for Good and evil -we were liars (have you read this? I can't remember) -renegades - mistborn (if you're looking for a bit of a more advanced fantasy series? Not that it's more difficult to understand or anything, it's just written more for adults? But there's no spice!) -the name of the wind (again, similar to mistborn in it's writing style)
I had to rewind 4 books because I couldn’t stop staring at your pup. My babe looks so similar, and even more weird, they act JUST ALIKE!! My son’s hair grows down the midline of his body, but he sheds on his sides. His hair is super wirey, but the DNA test that we did about 6 years ago said half poodle. He has almost identical coloring to yours… chest and ears… but his nose has a mixture of black around the edges and pink in the middle. He’s 15lbs. I’m seriously so excited to see a sweet pup like him. They are so precious.
i literally can’t express how amazing the cruel prince series is like i read it in 2020 and like you, didn’t love the first book cos i thought cardan was mean LOL but oh my god the second book blew me away. but recently i reread the series and I ADORE THE FIRST BOOK NOW. it just hits different when you know what happens and you can appreciate all the foreshadowing and characters. the romance is incredible but very much a subplot which makes it even better honestly because i was so eager for it. there is no enemies to lovers that even comes close which makes me sad but i just keep wanting to read it LOL but also the plot is so interesting and the main character jude is literally the best morally grey character and i adore her and her development
VIDEO SUGGESTIONS: would you consider making a video talking about all the romance books you’ve read that do not have spice or very little spice? Also what about a video talking about reading those romance books with spice while also being a Christian and how to go about that? (Like if you should or shouldn’t because of the content). Love all your reading videos!
My top read(s) of 2023 so far: Shatter Me Series - Each book is a 5 star book. My favorite series of all time Michael Vey - The whole series is like 4.5 stars. The 9th book is out this month! Letters to the Lost - 4.75 stars, great book! The Sun is Also a Star - Love Nicola Yoon, great romance book! 4.5 stars. The Hunger Games - 5 stars, one of my favorite series. These are pretty much all the books I’ve read this year, lol. Just got back into reading like 6 weeks ago, so all of these I’ve read in the past 6 weeks.

haley is one of the only book tubers that i actually trust the recommendations of 💗 we have a super similar taste in books
Omg same! She’s never steered me wrong ❤
Same I’m so confident when I read a book she liked cuz I always like it

The best thing about this video is watching her dog getting more and more frustrated because she‘s not petting him😂
I was about to say that I love Haley but her dog is superior 😂
I love your videos. They made reading so much more fun. My five stars were:
- The folk of the air trilogy
- The American Roommate experiment (romcom)
- Serpent and Dove (only book 1 - fantasy romance)
- Addicted to you
- A good girl's guide to murder (book 1 - have no read book 2 or 3 yet - mystery thriller)
- Ruthless rival (contemporary romance)
- Crazy for this girl (contemporary romance)
- Pride and prejudice (literary classic romance)
- The deal (contemporary romance)
- His and hers (mystery thriller)
I love a good girls guide to murder 😊😊great book
You need to read the other books in good girl's guide to murder .book 2 was kinda good but book 3 is so fricking good
@@sajitharafeekpilakkal2799 I have 😁😁
I won’t stop saying that Haley reading era will never not amaze me because I’ve been waiting so many years for it to come and relate to her 😩
You can always count on Haley and her book recommendations, thank you haley 🥺🫶
Yes! ❤
ALSO I READ THE DO-OVER BY LYNN PAINTER. IT WAS SO SWEET AND YOUR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT IS EXCITING💞
I read the cruel prince series because of you and absolutely loved it!! You got me out of my reading funk with it and I couldn’t be more grateful. You always have the best recommendations ❤❤ now I just need to read better than the movies 😊
A queen commenting on another queen's video??
I read Better Than The Movies this month and WOW WOW WOW IM IN LOVE. I haven’t read a book that made me feel like that in a while and I have extreme book hangover from it 😅
I'm finally reading better than the movies right now and I LOVE IT. It really is making me feel all the feels
You’ve literally made this year so much better 🥺🫶🏻 thank you sm haley!!

haley posting literally makes my day >>>>>>>>>

I'm watching this while packing Christmas gifts 🎄💗
Love it!
Haley probably won’t see this, but thanks for making me fall back into love with reading. Every time I finish watching a book video of yours, it makes me motivated to pick up and read a book❤
Can we also talk about how wholesome Spock is all the time 😍🥰
I was laughing at one point when Haley kept moving her hand up and down and poor Spock's head was doing the same.
Hahaha I couldn't stop watching your dog, so adorable when your dog kept moving when you moved your hand
I genuinly feel like Better Than The Movies deserves more hype. It's way too underrated for how good it is.
HALEY!! I think you should do a series reading the entirety of Harry Potter!!
Highly recommend the original Mistborn trilogy (1-3) by Brandon Sanderson. It's a complete trilogy on its own and was one of the series that propelled me to try out more of the high/epic adult fantasy.
I read Better than the Movies because of you, and I enjoyed it. I wished there was a follow up book.
omg same i read it bc of Haley😭❤️ i need a movie adaption so badly
There's a follow-up mini novella, if you're interested. 😊
There will be soon!!
@@alii3210 book 2 coming out on september 24!!
Spock is just vibing on her lap lol 😂
I think that my favorite book of the year has yo be "the perks of being a wallflower". I just found it very fasinating
I've waited all year for this video! Love it!
spock is such a crucial part of this channel. i love just watching him sit on Haley's lap and the way he keeps putting his paw on her hand when she's gesticulating and he looks up to see her face ah its everything to me
Ahhh seeing an overview of all the books you talked about in the year is so cool 😍
The Cruel Prince was my 6/5 stars for this year and I'm in the middle of The Wicked King rn, so now i'm extra excited to finish the rest of the series
BETTER THAN THE MOVIES IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE THING EVER AHHH
I am so happy you talked about Mary Jane. That is one of the best books I read last year and it is SO UNDERRATED AND HILARIOUS!!! I would seriously recommend it to anyone - so good and wholesome
Haley I highly recommend last time I lied by Riley Sager! It’s my favourite of his and has a summer camp / woods type setting which I think you’d love!!

oh my gosh your posts always make our days better!!! Haven’t watched it yet but I’m sure it will be amazing once again. Stay safe and happy Haley
The only reason I bought Dial A for Aunties was how when you first showed it to us, you described everything I wanted to hear in a book. I ended up getting it for christmas and I am so excited to read it!
“Hello readerpop” I love that ❤❤ slay Haley
did i stop everything i was doing to watch this? yes, yes i did! haley's videos always makes my day better! ❤
Reading is not just enough". Take the action! Put your newfound knowledge to use. I read for a long time but Action made my life change in no time ( generally and mostly financially)
That's my two cents on this
Action makes it work, no matter how little start and see the results come by
I struggle to follow through, especially financially. I earn quite enough but hardly have a saving. Rent, bills, debt, expenses take it all away. It almost feels like I leave paycheck to paycheck:)
Live below your means, Adjust your lifestyle, be frugal in spending don't buy unnecessary stuff, Budget your spending and your debts, Save, Invest it's a better way to grow wealth, get a financial expert to help you.
Thanks
I hear hiring a financial coach is quite expensive but I will have a look at it.
