Before I saw this, I was so proud of my 17 books in 2014.
A Monster Calls just ripped my heart out of my chest and crushed it.
Connor O'Brien i feel ya on that
I've been looking for booktubers lately to get back into reading again. So far, your taste in books seem to match mine the most out of everyone else I've watched on RUclips! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait too see what else you'll recommend.
The mistborn series is also my favorite of this year. I can't top thinkking about how perfectly the world building and plot are. It's just another league. The way he wraps things up is incredible... I would always want more.
Currently reading the first book in the Mistborn series because you WON'T STOP talking about it!!
Definitely going to be picking up a few more of these books as about half of this list is already currently sitting on my shelf waiting to be read!
Vicious, The Mistborn Trilogy and The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender were my top three books(or series) this year!
I love how passionate you are while talking about your favorite books! It is wonderful!
This is just an editting thing, but could you keep the pictures of the books up longer? For those of us with short term memory :p so we don't have to click back and lose our spot. Thanks :)
TallythePlantEater Of course! I also have a list of all the books in order down in the description!
I love the passion you always bring to your reviews! You make them sound so exciting, like, I have to read those books now!
Also, loved how you described Patrick Ness's writing as 'delicious', exactly how I would describe it
Nice list girl! I guess I still have to read night film, shock of the fall and obviously a monster calls 😱
Jellafy Yeah if we're gonna be twins you better do that ;D
I completely agree with The Lumatere Chronicles. Although I've only read the first one so far, I absolutely LOVED it. Evanjalin is my girl. I found The Storied Life!! It was in paperback but yes! I am so excited to read it! You had so many fantastic choices.
I have the Mistborn Trilogy ready on my shelf to read - as soon as my exams are done, I am on that!!
Yay for Mistborn, of course! I was getting a little worried when it was getting to the end of your list and hadn't heard it yet. Then, poof, it's there! All is right with the world again! 😄
Happy New Year!
Yeah so? Brandon Sanderson just recently announced 2 more books in the Mistborn world. I can't express how excited I am for these books. They are going to be the first 2 books in the 2nd Mistborn trilogy. (Alloy of Law was sorta a bridge between the two trilogies) They aren't set to be released until late 2015 and early 2016 but it's obvious what books I am most excited for. Anyway, just had to comment about them.
Brent Weeks is an Adult Epic Fantasy Author that's worth looking into. If you love Brandon Sanderson you'll like Brent Weeks. And as you probably know, everyone should Love Brandon Sanderson.
Love your videos!!
Oh my goodness I loved your list! I read Aristotle and Dante two years ago, but it's still one of my favorite books. Most of these books are on my TBR pile and I can't wait to delve into them all! My favorite books of 2014 were Cloud Atlas and The Secret History. They're easily some of the best books I've ever read.
I went out and bought All The Lights We Cannot See after your recommendation in a previous video. :) I haven't read it yet, but I'll think it's going to be on my February TBR.
I love your videos, by the way. :)
The summer I turned pretty is my fav book ever! I'm so happy you include it in this list!
Every time you post a video I just get so excited and my day just gets better!!!
You're always so good at convincing me to pick things up. Now I want to read ALL of these. Great video, as per usual. Also, your makeup is always on point. I'm jealous of your liquid eyeliner skills.
I can't agree with you enough on the Summer series by Jenny Han I loved this video and am very excited to be picking up a few that you recommended! Also agree the red lipstick looks amazing on you!!
What a great selection. Thank you for such a great video. You've got me sliding books up my tbr lol...
I loved the summer trilogy! I read it 3 years ago and the story still sticks to me. I find myself thinking about the characters once and a while even today
Happy new year! A lot of these are going to be on my "to be read" shelf for 2015!
You've had such an amazing year of reading, 125 books - go you! A Monster Calls was so heart wrenching!
I read 101 books this year, and I read the whole Mistborn trilogy and it is 100% my favourite series I've ever read. They just blew my mind.
14 out of 120?How did you choose?Wow.
I actually read the Summer trilogy this year as well because of how much you talked about it,I loved this series so much.Aristotle and Dante was also incredible,I just really want to re-read it this year.You really make me want to read a lot of the others,though,they sounded brilliant before,but if they're among your favourites,they must really be great.And I think I want the Ava book to be my first read of 2015,I still haven't decided,because (for some magical reason) I seem to think I must start the year with something brilliant.
Aristotle and Dante was my favorite book I read all year. To be honest it definitely became one of my favorites of all time haha
Regan I can't thank you enough for telling me that the summer trilogy wasn't all fluff. It was so good. Definitely one of my favorites.
I finally started reading All the Light We Cannot See last night and I only put it down so I could comment on this video. IT'S INCREDIBLEEEEEEE
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO THE ENTIRE YEAR AND I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED
TRUE DEDICATION
absolutely love watching your best books videos, and this one just pushed me to read and purchase alot of these books. I've only read a few on here which makes me so sad! But honestly can't wait to start, thanks!
I LOVED Aristotle and Dante so much! Such an amazing book!
A Monster Calls had me sobbing on the phone to my mother. It's such a simple book but so truly extraordinary!
And I adored Ready Player One. It was executed so perfect, the antagonist was awesome and I just loved Halliday. Like, using your death to get people interested in what you're interested in, is so brilliant.
Also, because historical fiction has never been my thing, I gifted 'All the Light We Cannot See' to my friend for Christmas after hearing about it from you. Might have to steal it back sometime!
I must read the Mistborn trilogy!! I heard others not liking The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender, but if you say it is good then...
I love your hair like this! I really need to read Throne of Glass and the rest of those books!
I really really loved the mistborn trilogy and I totally read it because of you! I've seen you mention it in sooo many of your videos :b so glad I picked it up! - I mean, I still have a little bit to finish of the 3rd book, but it's less than a half.
The only thing was that I felt there was a lack of female characters, aside from Vin and Tindwyl everyone else was a guy, of course Vin being the main character is already amazing, but I still feel like there is a strong need of more female kick-ass characters in the Epic-Fantasy genre.
Great video - a bit roughly edited in some parts, you cut your own sentences ^_^ - but great nonetheless (:
OMG I LOVED THE SUMMER SERIES!!!!! Jenny Han's books are like PERFECTION!
I just finished reading The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender yesterday and I absolutely loved it! And I've only read the first book in the Mistborn trilogy and Steel heart, both by Brandon Sanderson, and I'm really looking forward to reading more by him.
I have so much respect for you, your videos are like pure gold!
I keep pestering you about The Way of Kings, as I know it's on your shelf. I know you love Sanderson, so this is a must. It's by far my favorite Sanderson.
It's called The Shock of the Fall here (in the UK), too - Nathan's British. :) I've heard so many great things about Ready Player One that I think it's time I tracked it down! x
Oh, and I'm going to be uploading my 2014 Favourites on Monday, but my absolute favourite read of the year was The Book of Strange New Things by Michel Faber - which is stupendously excellent! x
Awesome video, I read about half of these, probably on your recommendation to begin with!! Love your vids!!
I love your channel and booktaste!! you are absolutely great and thank you for mentioning interesting books that are not only YA. your channel is refreshing and super interesting. I will try to read all the books you mentioned here :) and I thought you were placing the bronze horseman on the list.... I was surprised it was not number 1
A monster calls did destroy me. I read it at 1am in the morning and finished it by 4am. And it completely destroyed me. All the tears.
Really great video! I definitely want to read The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender soon!
Ready Player One was on my Top 5 list for 2014!
This is an absolutely non-bookish question: What kind of lipstick are you wearing? I think I may need it.
lol, I'm new to your channel and just watched 3 of your videos (LGBTQ books, favorite contemporary reads, and this one) and in all three you mention the aristotle and dante book!! I have to read it now!!
I just bought Night Film from Barnes and Noble for $2.99! I can't wait to read it and to read some of the others on your list!
Omg I read 124 books this year , great reading year 😁
The Shock of the Fall is still called that in the UK. Amazing book! Great list =)
RamblingsOfAnElfpire I know! I meant to say American.. I actually own a UK edition of the book.
PeruseProject Ah...I think The Shock of the Fall definitely suits the book better as a title though xD
I totally agree!
I'm reading The Shock of the Fall at the moment, so good!
I read 20 some books this year, which is a lot for me since I have only discovered reading for pleasure in the last year and a half or so (Late bloomer..I know). My two favorite books this year were Burial Rites and Code Named Verity. I found it hard to put down either of them.
I love Mistborn!!! I feel like it is so under appreciated for how fantastic the series is!
Your lipstick is awesome (as always)! You look like Taylor Swift :) Great video! 120 books is like wow! I didn't read that many, but I loved this video because these are all books I've heard of, but haven't read so YAY for more on my TBR list!
Sara Ella Thanks so much!
PeruseProject what shade/brand is your lipstick ? I need it in my life! Also, love your vids :)
TheChristianna321 I think is dragon girl by nars or at least she mentioned that she loved that lipstick in other video.
The shock of the fall is wonderful I just loved it, I can relate to the mental illness as it's been primary in my family over the past few years. I just want every single book you've talked about! I've already bought 10 books this year it's not even February yet, I need help! Hahaha lovely video xxx
You are most definitely my inspiration for 2015 reading goals!
After watching this video and 2 other book tubers I had to get Ready Player One, OMG I loved it!!! Thank you so much for the recommendation.
I totally agree about Brandon Sanderson.
I just read Steelheart and i imagined a bunch of ways of how the book would end, and none of them was even close.
It was just mind blowing.
You should read it.
I love Throne of glass series, I've already read first two books, I waiting for a polish translation of the third one because the English editions are much more expensive.
I started Mistborn trilogy,and so far I really enjoy it.
Accept Throne of glass my favorites of 2014 are : Damon cycle by Peter V. Brett , Shatter me trilogy by Tahereh Mafi, Murder of crow by Anne Bishop , Mara Dyer series by Michelle Hodkin and See of tranquility by Katja Millay.
Well done Regan, you just successfully convinced me to spend all of my saving for those wonderful books... Also your lipstick is on fleek ;)
FINNIKIN OF THE ROCK! :D
That series is so under hyped! MORE PEOPLE NEEEED TO READ IT!
Glad you loved it as much as me! :D
OMG I LOVED THE THRONE OF GLASS SERIES TOO!!!! God Sarah J. Maas is a genius!
The Monster Calls is also on my TOP 10 list from 2014, this was my first novel from Patrick Ness and it was brilliant. I've also read More Than This from him in the second part of the year and it just definitely made him one of my favourite authors, it was amazing.
i'm so excited to read these, regan!! i completely trust you when it comes to book recommends
bellbooks :'D
Great list! And Night Film sounds awesome! I'll definitely be reading that one!
You read a lot of books! I think the most I've ever read was 70 or so in a year. My favorite book by far this year was Night Film, and you were the reason I read it! So thank you!
Hi! Just came across your channel and subscribed:) I feel like The Summer trilogy was on a lot of book lovers top list for 2014! I really want to read it now. Along with A Monster Calls; have been wanting to read that one for so long but haven't gotten around to it. Great video- looking forward to more:) -Heather
The Summer I Turned Pretty series was amazing
Gosh I am so glad that I found your Channel Regan! My TBR list has increased exponentially! Great list my friend, I can't wait to see more vids this year! :) Also we have the same name (except we spell them differently) so obvi we're twins.
Amazing year of reading :)
Yay! Been waiting for you to upload this vid. Happy New Year Regan! You're my fave booktuber
One of my favourite books this year is Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick! I know it didn't come out in 2014 but wow it's amazing
I literally own all 14 of these but I've only read 5. Looks like I've got a good 2015 ahead of me!
Also I read A Monster Calls right after I lost my cat in October, who was pretty much my best friend for 14 years. It was a gift to have been able to read it at that time.
Ugh so many more books that are being added to my tbr list. Fantasy and Historical Fiction are probably my favorite genres so I am super interested in picking up the Finnikin (i think thats how you spell it.) of the Rock series. Just curious, does All The Light We Cannot See have the same sort of feeling as The Book Thief? The Mistborn trilogy looks so good but so intimidating because it's so long
All those books sound super good. I need to read them. And this might sound weird but oh well, you have the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen! I couldn't stop staring at them. Good for you!
I ordered Night Film on Branes and Noble's website and the hardcover was only $2.99!
Wow!!
You really grabbed the deal!
Your eyes are so pretty. I love the Summer I Turned Pretty. All my friends read it and didn't like the main character but I loved the series and read it over, also a lot of people on goodreads didn't like it either that much
You should definitely read The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt! I've heard some really good reviews about it lately, and it sounds beautiful. I'm really looking forward to reading it myself, along with The Virgin Suicide and The Book Thief. :)
A Monster Calls and Ready Player One are such amazing books!
I am new to your videos and I wrote all the books down. Hoping to read a couple in 2015
I was certain that All the Light We Cannot See would be number one for you! But then when Mistborn was #1 I understood!
Reagan! You make me want my hair chopped! Seriously, though your hair is gorg!
The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender is my favorite book ever. I literally agree with everything you said. It was amazing and I need Leslye Walton to write more.
lastinkblot13 LITERALLY YES
If you liked Ready Player One I would recommend Otherland! Four book series that is basically an adult version of that book, plus a whole lot more.
Hey Reagan,
Thanks for the great video's, i really like your recommendations and have added them to the book list 100+ a year is impressive; especially for some high fantasy novels. I think I'm going to read Demon King next.
P.S. - Your brother is right - go read the King Killer Chronicles by Rothfuss!
I only made a video on my top 5 books, but if I'd gone with top 14 then A Monster Calls would have made the list for sure.
And I REALLY need to just start the Mistborn trilogy already.
thanks again for the book reviews! after reading queen of tearling and bronze horseman im like i got to stay reading some GOOD BOOKS because sometimes I fall in a slum and force myself to read sappy- ya-stupid characters-painly obvious-dragging plot-series with unknown endings and yeah I start to get fustrated . so yeah having some go to books helps A lot!
Gone Girl, Ready Player One, All the Light We Cannot See are all amazing. I am currently reading All the Light We Cannot See and have ordered it and it is on its way to my house right now. The writing is just so gorgeous! Also, is Night Film gory? I have been wanting to read it but hate gore and really scary things.
My favorite book of 2014 was The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova. It has to do with art, heartbreak, mystery, and history. Oh it is sooooo good! ☺️
hiiii~ from philippines here ^^. i miss you reading and recommending YA books but it's also nice being opened up to adult fiction now because i'm intrigued by the books you talk about.
Hey
Thought I'd let you know I have read The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Eva Lavendar and loved it. When I reviewed the book I credited you for your recommendation for the book in this video, including a link to this video.
From all the times I've seen you talk about them, I'm definitely going to have to pick up the Finnikin of the Rock series, and Night Films, too! Every book I've read on your recommendation I've loved - especially Vicious and anything of Brandon Sanderson's - so I hope I'll enjoy these, too :3
Finally! Been waiting 2 weeks for this! Exciting
kateyfeng :D
i really love the shock of the fall and i read it because of your review! i read it in one day haha
thank you so much for your great recommendations ♥
I totally called all the light we cannot see and the mistborn trilogy, didn't know which would be number one though:p One of my favorite books this year was forbidden, it was so heartbreakingly beautiful
I'm reading the last book in the Mistborn series right now! It is the first type in this genre I've read and I think I've ruined it for myself...question though- would you suggest "The Alloy of Law?" I think this is my second fav series ever.(first being The Chaos Walking" trilogy, seriously think we're reading twinsies 😜
Loved your picks! So many that I wanted to check out!
i've read a monster calls and i was out of my mind! holly crap! it was so beautiful!
your books are always on my wishlist so yeah! thnx ^^
'The Shock of the Fall' is the UK title. 'Where the Moon Isn't' was the original US title. I loved that book too :)
Oh man, A Monster Calls was so amazing. It came in a close second to Ready Player One for me.
It's a year later and my heart still hasn't recovered from The Shock of The Fall
