As an immigrant myself I can say that A Memory Called Empire has one of the best and most accurate descriptions of an immigrant experience I've ever read (and I read a lot). There's an episode in the book where the protagonist attends a cultural event and muses about never quite fitting in despite studying the dominant culture pretty much her whole life, and how it would've been different if she actually grew up on the inside, and this floored me when I read the novel for the first time because of how similar her thoughts were to mine.
As a Shakespeare nerd, it was so cool reading Hamnet! It was interesting that, for once, Shakespeare was not the focus of attention and wasn’t even mentioned by name. I’m definitely planning for a reread soon!
read the bear and the nightingale series for the first time this year and was blown away
I absolutely adore The Winternight Trilogy. It is my absolute favorite trilogy. It's even better when re-read, because there are so many nuances to Arden's writing that you may not notice the first time.
Jade City, Hamnet, and A River Enchanted have been on my TBR for a while… Guess I need to get to them sooner than later! 😆
The Green Bone saga was indeed quite good.
It's always hard for me to pick all time faves, as there are so many books I love. Nevertheless, here are some I have loved, both older and more recently: Noble Dead saga, Heaven Official's Blessing, Silk & Steel trilogy, Captive Prince trilogy, Husky & His White Cat Shizun, Six of Crows duology...
i cannot recommend unlikely animals by annie hartnett enough!! forever one of my all time favorites. it's both funny and lighthearted whilst also tackling some more serious subject matters, and showing the relationships within a small town and how much love people within a community can have for one another. so so beautiful i wish more people would read it
My all time favorite is The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin. I’ve never read anything quite like it and it has really stuck with me.
I just read A River Enchanted and its sequel off of your recommendation and it was so good! I loved the enchantment and magic of the island along with the very human themes it explored. Definitely a wonderful read ❤
It’s so lovely to hear you gush about the Winternight trilogy because it’s one of my all time favourites as well and I just want everyone to experience it! 🩷
its kinda crazy how no one talks about borlest and ebook called The Hidden Truths Of Wealth
for real.
When the Moon Hatched - Sarah A Parker 🤍
The way you describe books is lyrical, you have convinced me to read all of these books
All time favorites are The Queens of Renthia series, The Graceling series, Invisible life of Addie Larue and Blood and Ash series as well! ❤❤❤

The Winternight trilogy is my all-time favorite series ever! I was thrilled to see it here! 🎉
Pierce Brown's Red Rising Trilogy was at the top of my list for years and then I stumbled upon The Green Bone Saga. Now they are both at the top of my list! I have finished reading City of Stairs trilogy and Foundryside by RJB and I can not thank you enough for introducing me to this author! Foundryside's magic system is just so crafty and City of Stairs was terrifying, like nothing I have ever read before.
Foundryside has been sat on my tbr for soo long 😅
I need at least 2 more books in the A River Enchanted series
The All Souls series, The Plated Prisoner series and the ACOTAR series are my 3 favourite series ever! I’m currently reading ACOSF for the first time and I’m in LOVE!!!
Thank you! I needed some new recommendations! 🎉
I am intrigued by the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th recommendations !!! Can't wait to enjoy these books. Thank you for sharing them !!!!
Arkady Martine did release a novella last year called Rose/House! It had a limited print run from subterranean press but is easily available for ebook and audiobook. It was a great retelling of a gothic classic. I've loved all of her books so far, I'm happy to hear you do too!!
Hamnet destroyed me in the best of ways and it's one of my top books of last year. I literally OWN all of the other books you mentioned and I'm so glad you rekindled my desire to read them ASAP. Great video!
I think about A Memory Called Empire often. I love that duology
Adding to my TBR immediately ✍🏼 I think Tress of the emerald sea might actually be my favourite book of all time
*deep inhale* *add to cart*
😂
Ohhh I just started A River Enchanted! Excited to see it on your favorites list! 😊
I also recently bought a River Enchanted and Foundryside because of you!!! I bought Foundryside during a trip to England and the uk cover is definitely not as pretty as the one you have, but I am so intrigued by the story. Cant wait to start on it soon☺️
Hamnet is definitely in my top 3 books of all time!! Maggie O' Farrell has one of the most unique writing styles and its just so captivating. I don't know if you're aware of this Reagan but they are actually turning it into a movie with Paul Mescal as Shakespeare and Jessie Buckley as Agnes. I"m so beyond excited and really hope they do the book justice!
I'm obsessed w A River Enchanted ❤
Had completely forgotten about Foundryside. I’m just wrapping up my current read, think I’ll try this series next! Need to go find your Foundryside reading vlogs though
I will never shut up about A River Enchanted! Easily one of my favourite reads ever and I cannot wait to do another re-read!
Great new to me recommendations!!!! Thanks!
I also LOVE The Green Bone Saga and The Founders trilogy! I was sucked into those stories and never wanted to leave.
I'll be reading Jade City next month for a book club- slightly excited!.
I read Jade City because of your recommendation in another video and I absolutely loved it!! It's so diffrent from anything I have read before and the world/fantasy system are so interesting. Lan😭 became a new favourite character of mine. Thank you for the recommendation!!!!!!
my all time faves are hunger games and an ember in the ashes, with pjo being my comfort book
Some of my all-time favs: The Kushiel's Legacy Trilogy by Jacqueline Carey; The Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop; the Kate Daniels series (urban fantasy) by Ilona Andrews.

I'm just about to start Foundryside!
Bear and the nightingale ordered 🙂
need to read jade city! it’s on kindle unlimited 🤭
I love Patricia McKillip's Riddle Master trilogy. I can't wait for the next book in Seanan McGuire's October Daye series. And I deeply enjoyed Master of Poisons by Andrea Hairston.
"Hamnet" wasn't my favorite book. I still gave it 4 stars because it was written so so so good, but something was missing for me.
Excited to read "Jade city"🤩
a river enchanted isn't YA. i think it's definitely in that crossover area, but it's in the adult section of bookstores and libraries.
I love Rebecca Ross!
Rebecca Ross is the only author I know about.. wow!
No Robin Hobb on this video!? Who are you? Is this deepfake? 😱
I’m really surprised that Tolkien and CS Lewis and GOT aren’t mentioned!
These aren’t my all time all time just a selection of some of my favorite books!
First
Green bone saga is always the GOAT 🐐
Nope Made City was a flop. Too elementary
