after around pg. 100, i was sold on The Name of the Wind. sooo good! and i agree, it's intimidating when you look at it, but once you start, it's impossible to put down.
How was the fourth one? Is it better than the first three? I want to continue but I didn't think they were that great. The first two I gave three stars and the third, four stars.
Holy crap, Reagan, let's just sit and cry together over Between Shades of Grey. That ending... *sob* I didn't see it coming, but it was so amaaaaaaazing.
the rest of us just live here is ome of my favorite books ever written. as a person who struggles with ocd and other mental health issues, this book means so much.
I'm totally passionate about Historical Fiction so I hit the button and bought Between Shades of Gray. It fits my reading style, despite me being eclectic. I love your reviews I feel like you put so much emotion in it. Thank you very much!
I'm forcing myself not to read The name of the wind until we AT LEAST have a release date for Doors of stone! I already know I will love it and I'm not ready to join all the waiting fans.
Loved loved loved Name of the Wind. Currently reading The Wise Man's Fear and it is just everything you could ever want from a sequel. Rothfuss is such a talented author.
I felt very similarly about The Rest of Us Just Live Here (and I reviewed it). I agree, the premise was so much stronger than the execution. I wanted so much to love it, but I just couldn't quite get there. I also have Between Shades of Grey sitting in my TBR pile for going on 3 years...I really need to read it. AND I really need to read The Name of the Wind...everyone keeps telling me how amazing it is. I should just listen and read it!
The Name of the Wind is so good and its sequel is even better. They seem to be so huge and they might be intimidating at first but the second you start reading you just fly through them. The writing style is amazing and the story is so interesting. I could rant about the awesomeness of these books forever... (:
I'm sooooo glad you like Stolen Songbird it became one of my favorite books this year and I wish more people would read it because it really is a great book!
I love Stolen Songbird! The sequel was great, too! I have a feeling this series is going to take off this year because more people are reading it, and everyone seems to like it!
I've never read or watched Harry Potter (I know ugh I'm fixing this next year) but I still really, really enjoyed Carry On so nope, I don't think it relies on Harry Potter as much. I think it's more of how it plays on the Chosen One trope which is really the way Rainbow Rowell wrote it. But overall, I think Carry On can stand alone and a separate book from Harry Potter.
Exactly what I thought! I have read HP and Carry On does have a lot of "inside jokes", but it is a book based on HP, so it was supposed to have that feel of "I've seen this before"! But I did not feel like you would have to have any knowledge on HP to understand the story, Rainbow Rowell did a great job on explaining ~the past~ of the book to get us where we picked up from.
I've never read Harry Potter and I can't recall what I watched from the movies because it really didn't haunted me down. I feel like misplaced. People keep telling me that I need to read Harry Potter in order to get Carry On, but I truly believe, at least from what I've heard about this book, that it can stand alone, even if it is made to pump up a nostalgic feeling inside Harry Potter's craziest fans.
+Duda Carneiro I completely agree! I'm a massive Harry Potter fan which is part of what attracted me to Carry On but I definitely wouldn't say you need to have read that series to enjoy this novel. Besides, there are plenty of other books out there that are clearly inspired by HP that haven't interested me. The thing about Carry On that I really loved is that the Chosen One isn't straight and how it ties our world with the magical one so seamlessly. So don't worry if you've never read HP or you just couldn't get into it - you can still enjoy Carry On!
+Randomandlovely I totally agree with you! In Fangirl, it seemed like the Simon Snow books basically were Harry Potter, until they were compared to HP at that one point. But reading Carry On, the differences to Harry Potter really stick out! The way magic works and how they all use modern technology makes the world unique and sets the universes apart quite clearly, I think.
I'm so glad you finally read The Name of the Wind!!! It really is one of my favorite books after everything Brandon Sanderson has written. Rothfuss is hilarious and ingenious with his writing and it truly is a pleasure to read. Can't wait until you get to the second book!
+Evan Dicesare I think it's important to keep in mind that we are all entitled to our opinions and not to shame those we happen to disagree with. Especially when it comes to books, something we all love xxx
Yay!!!! Name of the Wind is soo amazing! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the second book. And Between Shades of Grey is definitely on my TBR now.
I totally agree with you about The Rest Of Us Just Live Here. I gave it a 4/5 stars because it is a solid book, but just not quite there like a piece was missing. I definitely agree with you on Carry On as well! The Name Of The Wind intimidates me sort of...
I read Between Shades of Grey this summer, and the first thing I thought of after I had finished was "I wonder if Regan has read this". I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I've heard you talk about The Name of the Wind before and never really took an interest to it, but you intrigued me (as usual) and it's the newest edition on my wishlist!
I'm so glad you finally read The Name of the Wind! Such a brilliant book. Patrick Rothfuss's writing is indeed something special :) I love how you describe and review books. You make every viewer want to read your recommendations xD (at least me anyway). Keep up the great energy!
Something about Carry On rubbed me wrong while I was reading it and I ended up putting it down. I think you were spot on. It relies on HP too much and I think I'm too much of a Harry Potter snob to enjoy it.
+Jessyca Z I was the same way. It wasn't just that it was like HP though, I just found it slow as well. There wasn't much...to it. It just seemed to be Simon endlessly complaining about Baz missing like okay we get it! lol So I couldn't really get further than half way. sigh
+Jessyca Z Ditto, it rubbed me the wrong way, although I was totally up for the Harry Potter riffing. However, the poor use of British really irritated me. I lived there for 4 years and my husband is English, so I feel like I am pretty familiar with the culture. There were so many instances that just seemed poorly researched. Like, British school is out for 6 weeks in the summer, not 3 months. And they use the word "cab" rather than 'taxi.' They don't make cookies at Christmas, it's all about mince pies and other Victorian-style desserts. There were enough mistakes to jar me out of the story, and made the other British-ish parts feel like they had been forced in to show 'this is the UK.' I just never bought the world or characters as British, so it was hard for me to get pulled into the story. I just saw School Library Journal named "Carry On" one of their best of 2015, and I was feeling very alone in my lack of connection with the story--glad to see I'm not the only one! :)
+Jessyca Z So even if this rubbed you the wrong way, would you recommend her other books? I'm on the fence about Carry On. You either love it or hate it from what I can see. So, I thought I'd maybe try a different book.
My fav Troll music is In the Hall of the Mountain King by Grieg. In it, Peer Gynt, a human, is chased & caught BY TROLLS! Who needs Vamps, Elves, Dwarves, Ents, Hobbits, Werewolves, etc. when you can have...trolls.
I read The Rest of Us Just Live Here this month, too, and I completely agree with you! It was a really good book to read, very interesting, but it could have had more to it. I wish it wasn't so focused on its contemporary aspect, but it's still pretty great!
I'm definitely sold on Between Shades of Gray. It's one of the oldest books on my TBR and I've never been interested in it but hearing you talk about it has piqued my interest
Wow, I actually didn't know that Between Shades Of Gray was about the exportation of lithuanians in WW2. I'm definitely interested in the book now, because the country I come from (Latvia) also had these exportations of people to work camps in Siberia, and around 15 000 people were sent there in one month back in 1941. I'm definitely interested in this book now!
The Name of the Wind was one of my favorite books that I read this year. It's truly amazing. Regan, there's another book from Patrick Rothfuss, it's called The Slow Regard Of Silent Things, this book is really different from The Name of Wind, it's about Auri and her life deep below the University. You should check it out.
I read Between Shades of Gray for Battle of the Books a couple years ago, and it was Amazing! At the time, I didn't really understand it, so I think it's time for a re-read.
The thing about Carry On is that 1) It's not supposed to be the last installment in the fictional Simon Snow series, it's supposed to be the fan fiction Cath from Fangirl wrote based on the fictional Simon Snow series and 2) Rainbow Rowell is aware of what she did. She knows of the similarities between Simon Snow and Harry Potter and she never planned on making a book on Simon Snow. I think anyone who understands this finds that they will enjoy Carry On for what it is...
I'm reading a book called Above us Only Sky by Michele Young-Stone that has portions of a family history in Lithuania during the same time. It's Historical Fiction/Magical Realism.
I read all four of the Throne of Glass books, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, The School of Good and Evil and am still currently reading Wuthering Heights, Steve Jobs and The Bronze Horseman :)
I read Between Shades of Grey maybe 2 years ago. It was amazing. It reflects not only the Lithuanian but Latvian people deportation to Siberia. I don`t know how many times deportation happened in Lithuania, but in Latvia was two massive deportations. One in 1941 and second in 1949. Btw I am from Latvia :)
YES YES YES THE NAME OF THE WIND!!!!!! Iiiii love that book SO much. The second one is (according to me) EVEN BETTER. Holy mother I can rant about the beauty of these books for ever. Do let us know when you've read the second one. I'd love to hear your thoughts! :D
I read Love, Rosie, Scarlet, Cress, Fairest, Saga V.1, and Ready Player One. Ready Player One was my favorite of the month and I absolutely flew through it! I have been hesitant about starting the Kingkiller Chronicle trilogy since the last book still has no release date yet (after 4 years) but I just read some of his comments on Goodreads and he is hilarious. I will be reading this eventually for sure but I might just wait until there is a release date. Cant wait to hear your opinion on the second one.
I read Inhuman (Kat Falls), The Testing (Joelle Charboneau I think is how you spell it), and Tandem (Anna Jarzab). I'm pausing my TBR to read Let it Snow (Maureen Johnson, John Green and Lauren Myracle), Dash and Lily's Book of Dares (Rachel Cohn and David Levithan) and My True Love Gave to Me (Lots of popular authors, edited by Stephanie Perkins). Okay then
Welcome to the love for The Name of the Wind. Best book evaaaaaaa!!!! Also, I´m pretty sure there´s a vid where Patrick Rothfuss says how to pronounce Kvothe´s name.
I've had a pretty good reading month too! I read The Rithmatist earlier this month and I enjoyed it immensely but I had no idea it wasn't a standalone and the sequel comes out on 2017! I MEAN WHAT?!! Then I marathoned Rebel Spring and Gathering Darkness. Had a two week reading slump then read The Archived and The Unbound (YET AGAIN A CLIFFHANGER BECAUSE WHERE IS THE THIRD BOOK?!!!)
The plot of "The Rest of Us Just Live Here" seems so so sooo interesting!! But, I've never read any of Patrick Ness's writings so I feel like it wouldn't be very well executed like you said but it sounds so cool! Name of the Wind seems so good! And the rating is just ggreat so I think I'm going to try to pick it up in 2016 :D
I actually have read the first couple of chapters of The Rest of Us Just Live Here, and it was REALLY confusing and weird. I agree with Reagan, the premise hooked me, but the actual writing & plot was boring. I wouldn't really recommend it, but some people have enjoyed it, so... I just wanted to share that with you, in case you were thinking about picking up the book. :)
+Bibliosaurusrex I loved The Rest of Us. The characters were really compelling and they all felt so real. And it was hilarious. I would completely recommend it. I don't think the premise was stronger than the story at all.
when i first picked up Carry On i couldn't get into it because i felt like it was a parody and kept comparing the characters to harry potter characters which was distracting, and it was still only a fan fiction written by cath and not what actually would have happened in the real 7th book which made me feel like i was reading a fake book. BUT Rainbow Rowell has such a beautiful way of writing that eventually made me shut my mind and just enjoy it.
I read Between Shades of Grey last year I think and I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it and well, it broke me, too. It was, as you say, heartbreaking. sigh
I am in the middle of The Name of the Wind, it's amazing! By the way, his name is Quoth. Rothfuss is writing genius!! I can't wait to read the second book! :) #happyreading
Okay, you sold me on The Name of the Wind. I tried reading it last year, then I came 30 pages and couldn't anymore...but since you said it gets better at a point I'm gonna try again ;-)
Unfortunately, I did not get to read as much as I would have liked. I have too many books on my TBR list, but I'm tempted to read The Name in the Wind right now!
after around pg. 100, i was sold on The Name of the Wind. sooo good! and i agree, it's intimidating when you look at it, but once you start, it's impossible to put down.
Between Shades of Gray is one of my favourite books of all time! Beautiful, beautiful and painfully heartbreaking.
Between shades of gray is one of my all time favourite books, I'm so glad you loved it too!!
I finally started the Percy Jackson series and am on the 4th book now!
+Holly Hearts Art Yayyyyy!!
+Holly Hearts Art same! im about to start the 4th one and im loving this series!
+Holly Hearts Art Yes! Welcome to the fandom! Which god is your parent btw? Do you already know? :D
How was the fourth one? Is it better than the first three? I want to continue but I didn't think they were that great. The first two I gave three stars and the third, four stars.
Between Shades of Gray was beautiful! Someone in my class has recommended it to me and I was glad that I picked it up.
Between Shades of Gray has been on my shelf for agesssss. You're inspiring me to want to finally pick it up.
Holy crap, Reagan, let's just sit and cry together over Between Shades of Grey. That ending... *sob* I didn't see it coming, but it was so amaaaaaaazing.
the rest of us just live here is ome of my favorite books ever written. as a person who struggles with ocd and other mental health issues, this book means so much.
I´m so glad that you finally read The Name of the Wind, I read it this year and its sequel and omgggg SO GOOD.
Between Shades of Grey is one of my favorites - I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Between Shades of Grey has been on my reading list for the longest time! Your review has sold me - I'm finally gonna pick it up.
I'm totally passionate about Historical Fiction so I hit the button and bought Between Shades of Gray. It fits my reading style, despite me being eclectic. I love your reviews I feel like you put so much emotion in it. Thank you very much!
SO glad you finally read the name of the wind! one of my absolute favourites! :D I just got carry on last weekend and am excited to get into it :)
Between shades of gray is one of the best books I've read so far!
Between Shades of Grey is absolutely phenomenal and really needs more recognition
My favorite book in November was Daughter of Smoke & Bone. It was so good.
I'm forcing myself not to read The name of the wind until we AT LEAST have a release date for Doors of stone! I already know I will love it and I'm not ready to join all the waiting fans.
Loved loved loved Name of the Wind. Currently reading The Wise Man's Fear and it is just everything you could ever want from a sequel. Rothfuss is such a talented author.
I felt very similarly about The Rest of Us Just Live Here (and I reviewed it). I agree, the premise was so much stronger than the execution. I wanted so much to love it, but I just couldn't quite get there.
I also have Between Shades of Grey sitting in my TBR pile for going on 3 years...I really need to read it. AND I really need to read The Name of the Wind...everyone keeps telling me how amazing it is. I should just listen and read it!
OH MY GOD please read Between Shades of Grey! It is absolutely fantastic and VERY moving. Also, it's super short, so it won't take you long.
The name of the wind is AMAZING! Waiting impatiently for the third book to come out!
The Name of the Wind is so good and its sequel is even better. They seem to be so huge and they might be intimidating at first but the second you start reading you just fly through them. The writing style is amazing and the story is so interesting. I could rant about the awesomeness of these books forever... (:
oh my God you finally read Between Shades of Gray. I feel you, it was amazingly tragic
I'm sooooo glad you like Stolen Songbird it became one of my favorite books this year and I wish more people would read it because it really is a great book!
Between Shades of Gray is sooo good!! And The Rest of Us Just Live Here sounds very interesting :)
I love Stolen Songbird! The sequel was great, too! I have a feeling this series is going to take off this year because more people are reading it, and everyone seems to like it!

Exactly! :)
I'm so glad you finally read The Name of the Wind!!! It really is one of my favorite books after everything Brandon Sanderson has written. Rothfuss is hilarious and ingenious with his writing and it truly is a pleasure to read. Can't wait until you get to the second book!
"Carry On is not as good as Harry Potter people, geez"
Could you please tell that to Kat? 😂
+Hermione Granger No she is not...
+Evan Dicesare if anyone ever agree on that, they must get their brain checked. lmao
+Evan Dicesare I think it's important to keep in mind that we are all entitled to our opinions and not to shame those we happen to disagree with. Especially when it comes to books, something we all love xxx
Aah, I am so happy you enjoyed The Name of the Wind! I listened to the audiobook and loved it!
Yay!!!! Name of the Wind is soo amazing! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the second book. And Between Shades of Grey is definitely on my TBR now.
Yes you read Between Shades of Gray! It's my favorite book and I want more people to read it.
yes! i'm so glad you liked the name of the wind
Stolen Songbird sounds really interesting .Between Shades of Grey sounds fascinating! I'm definitely going to pick it up.
I totally agree with you about The Rest Of Us Just Live Here. I gave it a 4/5 stars because it is a solid book, but just not quite there like a piece was missing. I definitely agree with you on Carry On as well!
The Name Of The Wind intimidates me sort of...
I liked The Rest of Us Just Live Here. But for me any book that was going to follow up More Than This was doomed because I loved that sooooo much.
I'm halfway through The Final Empire and I'm LOVING it! 🙌
So excited that you finally read The Name of the Wind! I read that book a year ago and just loved it so much and knew that you would too :)
THE NAME OF THE WIND!!!
Omg, yes, you read Name of the Wind!! It's one of my favourite fantasy book!
I read Between Shades of Grey this summer, and the first thing I thought of after I had finished was "I wonder if Regan has read this". I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I've heard you talk about The Name of the Wind before and never really took an interest to it, but you intrigued me (as usual) and it's the newest edition on my wishlist!
YES! Between shades of Gray!! Amazing, phenomenal book!!!
I'm so happy that you finally picked up The Name of the Wind!!! Isn't it an amazing book!!!!?
I'm planning on reading The Name of the Wind as my first book of 2016.
I LOVE your wrap ups! and of course all of your other videos🦄😉
This was a great video! I completely agree about Name of the Wind. I'm half-way through and it's amazing!
The book I absolutely loved this month was tiger lily!! It was soo good. I definitely agree with everything you said about carry on.
I'm so glad you finally read The Name of the Wind! Such a brilliant book. Patrick Rothfuss's writing is indeed something special :) I love how you describe and review books. You make every viewer want to read your recommendations xD (at least me anyway). Keep up the great energy!
The Name of the Wind is so awesome.
love your videos!!! and thanks for spreading the word about book outlet!!!
Something about Carry On rubbed me wrong while I was reading it and I ended up putting it down. I think you were spot on. It relies on HP too much and I think I'm too much of a Harry Potter snob to enjoy it.
+Jessyca Z I was the same way. It wasn't just that it was like HP though, I just found it slow as well. There wasn't much...to it. It just seemed to be Simon endlessly complaining about Baz missing like okay we get it! lol So I couldn't really get further than half way. sigh
KatTheBooknerd I felt bad because so many people LOVED it, so i'm glad I'm not alone! haha
+Jessyca Z Ditto, it rubbed me the wrong way, although I was totally up for the Harry Potter riffing. However, the poor use of British really irritated me. I lived there for 4 years and my husband is English, so I feel like I am pretty familiar with the culture. There were so many instances that just seemed poorly researched. Like, British school is out for 6 weeks in the summer, not 3 months. And they use the word "cab" rather than 'taxi.' They don't make cookies at Christmas, it's all about mince pies and other Victorian-style desserts. There were enough mistakes to jar me out of the story, and made the other British-ish parts feel like they had been forced in to show 'this is the UK.' I just never bought the world or characters as British, so it was hard for me to get pulled into the story.
I just saw School Library Journal named "Carry On" one of their best of 2015, and I was feeling very alone in my lack of connection with the story--glad to see I'm not the only one! :)
yes definitely the beginning sucks. I hated the book, but pushed through. it gets much better the moment you start getting Baz POV at around page 160
+Jessyca Z So even if this rubbed you the wrong way, would you recommend her other books? I'm on the fence about Carry On. You either love it or hate it from what I can see. So, I thought I'd maybe try a different book.
I have Carry On and can't wait to read it.
always love when you say "our main character"
Also just finished reading the Mistborn trilogy and would like to thank you for the recommendation.
My fav Troll music is In the Hall of the Mountain King by Grieg. In it, Peer Gynt, a human, is chased & caught BY TROLLS! Who needs Vamps, Elves, Dwarves, Ents, Hobbits, Werewolves, etc. when you can have...trolls.
still love between shades of gray 💘
Wow You got me interested in reading Name of the Wind. Will definitely pick it up for December
I read The Rest of Us Just Live Here this month, too, and I completely agree with you! It was a really good book to read, very interesting, but it could have had more to it. I wish it wasn't so focused on its contemporary aspect, but it's still pretty great!
Glad you read Name of the Wind! The audiobook is amazing too. He does write really well :)
I'm definitely sold on Between Shades of Gray. It's one of the oldest books on my TBR and I've never been interested in it but hearing you talk about it has piqued my interest
Ooh I will have to read The Name of the Wind now after that great review! It sounds amazing! How awesome that you had such a great reading month! :)
You finally read The Name of the Wind yaaaaay! I'm so happy you did!
you are honestly my spirit animal and my favorite booktuber :)
Wow, I actually didn't know that Between Shades Of Gray was about the exportation of lithuanians in WW2. I'm definitely interested in the book now, because the country I come from (Latvia) also had these exportations of people to work camps in Siberia, and around 15 000 people were sent there in one month back in 1941. I'm definitely interested in this book now!
i love your cat print in the back!
I'm so proud of you for finally reading The Name of The Wind!
I want to read Stolen Songbird so badly! It sounds so awesome!
The Name of the Wind was one of my favorite books that I read this year. It's truly amazing. Regan, there's another book from Patrick Rothfuss, it's called The Slow Regard Of Silent Things, this book is really different from The Name of Wind, it's about Auri and her life deep below the University. You should check it out.
Stolen Songbird sounds awesome. I'm adding that to my TBR :)
Your videos are great! Im looking foward to read The Name of the Wind! Thanks for your reading recomendations!
I totally agree with the Carry On part!
I read Between Shades of Gray for Battle of the Books a couple years ago, and it was Amazing! At the time, I didn't really understand it, so I think it's time for a re-read.
I love your videos, Regan! I also love how often you upload! =D
The thing about Carry On is that 1) It's not supposed to be the last installment in the fictional Simon Snow series, it's supposed to be the fan fiction Cath from Fangirl wrote based on the fictional Simon Snow series and 2) Rainbow Rowell is aware of what she did. She knows of the similarities between Simon Snow and Harry Potter and she never planned on making a book on Simon Snow. I think anyone who understands this finds that they will enjoy Carry On for what it is...
The rest of us just live here
I'm reading a book called Above us Only Sky by Michele Young-Stone that has portions of a family history in Lithuania during the same time. It's Historical Fiction/Magical Realism.
I read all four of the Throne of Glass books, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, The School of Good and Evil and am still currently reading Wuthering Heights, Steve Jobs and The Bronze Horseman :)

I read between shades of grey! It was amazing
Yay the name of the wind!!! I love it so much :)
i love all your videos and all these books sound amazing!
im still trying to finish the queen of the tearling, november was a really busy month for me and the beginning of december has been just as crazy
YES YES YES THE NAME OF THE WIND!!!!!! Iiiii love that book SO much. The second one is (according to me) EVEN BETTER. Holy mother I can rant about the beauty of these books for ever. Do let us know when you've read the second one. I'd love to hear your thoughts! :D
I read Love, Rosie, Scarlet, Cress, Fairest, Saga V.1, and Ready Player One. Ready Player One was my favorite of the month and I absolutely flew through it!
I have been hesitant about starting the Kingkiller Chronicle trilogy since the last book still has no release date yet (after 4 years) but I just read some of his comments on Goodreads and he is hilarious. I will be reading this eventually for sure but I might just wait until there is a release date. Cant wait to hear your opinion on the second one.
I read Inhuman (Kat Falls), The Testing (Joelle Charboneau I think is how you spell it), and Tandem (Anna Jarzab). I'm pausing my TBR to read Let it Snow (Maureen Johnson, John Green and Lauren Myracle), Dash and Lily's Book of Dares (Rachel Cohn and David Levithan) and My True Love Gave to Me (Lots of popular authors, edited by Stephanie Perkins).
Okay then
Of u like books like between shades of grey I would definitely recommend heaven shop, it is very short but brilliant
Welcome to the love for The Name of the Wind. Best book evaaaaaaa!!!!
Also, I´m pretty sure there´s a vid where Patrick Rothfuss says how to pronounce Kvothe´s name.
This was a great wrap up.
I've had a pretty good reading month too! I read The Rithmatist earlier this month and I enjoyed it immensely but I had no idea it wasn't a standalone and the sequel comes out on 2017! I MEAN WHAT?!!
Then I marathoned Rebel Spring and Gathering Darkness. Had a two week reading slump then read The Archived and The Unbound (YET AGAIN A CLIFFHANGER BECAUSE WHERE IS THE THIRD BOOK?!!!)
I have the name of the wind on my kindle but I have many books on my kindle lol. I wish listed shades of grey thank you!
Wonderful, as always! I get way too excited when you upload a video! You made my Monday brighter! What lipstick are you wearing? It's gorgeous.
The plot of "The Rest of Us Just Live Here" seems so so sooo interesting!! But, I've never read any of Patrick Ness's writings so I feel like it wouldn't be very well executed like you said but it sounds so cool!
Name of the Wind seems so good! And the rating is just ggreat so I think I'm going to try to pick it up in 2016 :D

+Bibliosaurusrex I loved The Rest of Us. The characters were really compelling and they all felt so real. And it was hilarious. I would completely recommend it. I don't think the premise was stronger than the story at all.
when i first picked up Carry On i couldn't get into it because i felt like it was a parody and kept comparing the characters to harry potter characters which was distracting, and it was still only a fan fiction written by cath and not what actually would have happened in the real 7th book which made me feel like i was reading a fake book. BUT Rainbow Rowell has such a beautiful way of writing that eventually made me shut my mind and just enjoy it.
Read Stolen Songbird a few months ago and I loved it :).. I have the second book but I haven't had the chance to pick it up yet.. hope it's good!
I really love your videos
I read Between Shades of Grey last year I think and I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it and well, it broke me, too. It was, as you say, heartbreaking. sigh
I am in the middle of The Name of the Wind, it's amazing! By the way, his name is Quoth. Rothfuss is writing genius!! I can't wait to read the second book! :) #happyreading
Okay, you sold me on The Name of the Wind. I tried reading it last year, then I came 30 pages and couldn't anymore...but since you said it gets better at a point I'm gonna try again ;-)
Unfortunately, I did not get to read as much as I would have liked. I have too many books on my TBR list, but I'm tempted to read The Name in the Wind right now!
Do eet o_o
I want to read all of these!!!! Every time I watch a video from you my tbr grows!!!!!!!! But I don't care so... :):):):):) ilysssm
