i can't wait for your in-depth book review of children of blood and bone!! you are pretty much the only person i know who ships the main couple LOL so i'm curious on your take of their relationship development!
I paused your video near the beginning because I received a package-a signed copy of Children of Blood and Bone. I came back, and you were holding it up! I’m so happy to see other people talking about it. And you made me bump An Ember in the Ashes up on my TBR.
I’m so excited to read an Ember in the ashes this month! I am looking forward to reading children of blood and bone! You’ve given me a bunch of books to add to my tbr!!! Love your videos 💗
You are too wonderful! 😍 I loved 'Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda' too. 😁 And I'm 18 books ahead of schedule on my reading challenge. ❤️ Have a great day!
The thought that she describes Aliyah from ember in the ashes as beautiful and courageous makes me so happy! it has nothing to do with Aliyah’s appearance obviously because she’s fictional.
Yeessss! The Astonishing Color of After. Easily one of my favourites of this year so far. I connected to it on such a deep and personal level and as you said, just the way Emily X.R. Pan is able to devastate you but then go on to fill you with such a deep sense of hope and happiness is testament to her ability as I writer. Not gonna lie, I was pretty sad about something when I clicked on this video. But you put a smile on my face as always. So thank you so much! Hope the second half of 2018 treats you well. Much love Hannah. 💙
One of the biggest surprise books for me was picture us in the light. I picked it up bc of the cover and then read the synopsis and decided I needed it. It broke my heart tight at the end and I suggest it to so many people especially since I haven't seen many fan works from it. which is a shame considering how beautiful the story and message is and how amazing the characters are. If you need a good read check it out please the author did such a good job and deserves way more recognition.
it was really cool that you mentioned a few books i've never heard of before: i think you described one as "underhyped"? i would really love if you did an entire video talking about "underhyped" books you loved, or in general books that just aren't super popular, especially around booktube. it's nice that some books get noticed a lot but i feel like every booktuber always talks about the same books all the time, so something fresh and new would be greatly appreciated. at least that's how i feel!
the struggle of wanting to read ALL THE BOOKS YOU MENTION like right at this second is real. Just got the astonishing color of after because you recommended it though! Can't WAIT to read it as soon as i'm done with the ones i'm reading right now!💙
I really FLEW through the first to AEITA books, so I don't remember a ton, but I'm rereading book one now, and HOLY RIZZOLI I'm loving it so much. And now that I've watched a few booktalks and summaries and stuff for the series, I am super pumped for Reaper. I'm ready to be destroyed. But also, I'm not ready LOL. I hope the rest of your year is great!
Hannah, you should read Neil Gaiman. You’d love him. Great video :) I liked it very much. You always brighten my days with your positivity and kindness!
I'm about 100 pages from the end of Astonishing Color of After, and I'm loving it! I'm a really slow reader, so I'm impressed with myself for getting through such a long book.
i'm surprised you didn't mention the diviners!! it's on my current tbr, as well as children of blood and bone :) my biggest surprise love of the year was the lunar chronicles, especially cress and winter!!
You should read Lily and the Octopus!! It reminds me of how you describe The Astonishing Color of After where grief is hopeful and also magical realism!
Carry on by Rainbow Rowell was definitely my biggest surprise of this year so far. Especially because I tried to read it before and didn't like it, but then I tried it again and now I love it sooo much❤
Ahh I need to reread the first two books in An Ember in the Ashes before getting to A Reaper at the Gates! Yaaas I'm so excited for Queen of Air and Darkness!
I cried about 5 different times in the last hour of school for the year, finishing A Reaper at the Gates... we were literally having a party and I sat in the hall gasping and crying every 2 minutes P.S. Elias is MINE
I just read Children of Blood and Bone last month and it was well worth all the hype! Absolutely love it and I'm dying of anticipation for book 2. Plus, I even got my boyfriend (who is not a reader) to pick it up and he's enjoying it as well which makes me so happy!
Wolf by Wolf! I've had it in my to read since last year but I only got around to reading it recently. Didn't expect I'd fall in love with a book like 'that' :o
I need to read Torch, I was waiting for it to be closer to Reaper's release, and then it happened and I still haven't read it. Elias is such a beautiful soul, I agree.
I really wanted to read “the queen of tearling” but now I don’t know anymore... Hannah and I have pretty similar taste in books, so I don’t know if I wanna use my time on it. CONFUSED.
ahhh! Obsessed with the Ember series! I haven’t read a series that I felt so connected with in sooo long! I’m currently reading Reaper and I don’t want it to endddd😭 Also, i need to read the poetry of princess and witch. A lot of poetry books have taken me back because I’d read through them and they’re all relating to heartbreak in relationships- i need poetry that will hit me deeper and I think these will.
A Reaper At The Gates audiobook has been added to Scribd today so I'm gonna listen to it as soon as I finish my current listen! I'm obsessively stalking the Scribd app to wait for the Children of Blood and Bone audiobook as well!
Finally someone undestands my love for An Ember in the Ashes!! I love that series with all of my heart and I think it is soooo underhyped (is that the correct word?) like, I've only ever heard you and Hailey talking about it. Although I must admit that the only reason I gave A Torch Against the Night a 4 star rating was out of pettiness because of what Sabaa did to Elias.
I think the biggest surprise of the year for me has to go to The Diabolic by S.J. Kincaid. I had it in my shelf for a while, I decided to pick it up but I couldn't get into it, and then you unhauled it in one of your videos and I thought maybe it ain't that good. But I stuck to it and then I started to really get into it and at the end I was like I love this book.
Personally I love Queen of the Tearling. I did not go into this book as a fantasy because it was more on the lines of a historical fiction type feel. Then in the second book we find out more about the kingdom and then a dystopian vibe with a bit of magic.
Omg when you talked about Laia I wanted to cry because that is exactly how I felt when reading about her too. And Elias is so beautiful and I am so in love with him❤️❤️❤️
Vincent and Theo: The Van Gogh Brothers is something that definitely surprised me because it starts off kind of slow and a little too nonfiction-y, but by the end I was still crying and emotional about Vincent
I read both of Amanda Lovelace's books this year, and I absolutely love them! Can't wait for Queen of Air and Darkness, and just realized I've been calling the series The Dark Artifacts instead of The Dark Artifices
I love this tag! And that edition of Ember in the Ashes is GORGEOUS oh my god. Do you ever fancy doing another favourite covers/most beautiful books video?
The Dininers was a very surprising read for me. I was looking for a new audio book and there it was! I got very invested, and the reader did a great job! Love that copy of Ember in the Ashes!!! So pretty 💚
Very pleased with the amount of times Ember is mentioned, haha. Excited to watch your video on Reaper! I'm still not okay after finishing it. Both excited for and terrified to read what happens in the last book (whenever it comes out) because it will definitely destroy me XD
hi Hannah i’ve just read the night circus and what can i say.... my life is changed. for real. i love that book so much!! in general you love so many books i adore (children of blood and bone is definitely the best book i’ve read this year). and i’m planning to read turtles all the way down soon after hearing you talk about it - i’ve read a few chapters in a bookstore and it already impacted me so much, but i couldn’t buy it that day sadly. i’m also sooooo excited for muse of nightmares (i’m pretty sure i’ve read strange the dreamer because you recommended it and it was one of my favorite reads of last year hahaha) the biggest surprise this year for me might be nevermoor: the trials of morrison crow because it’s just so wonderful and magical!
Amazing video 😍 i really like your videos and i think i will always do and im not kidding but you made read so any stories and i loved them and thank you for that
Yeah... I’m not going to be reading the An Ember in the Ashes series until the last book is close to coming out... (So I don’t have to suffer like the rest of you! Haha!)
Hannah you need to make a video on how you read so much? I have a 35 book goal. And I only read 16 books. I am hoping to read Strange the Dreamer, and Astonishing color of after. I think I only read COBAB out of the books you mentioned. Loved it!
If you love lush and lyrical writing with a sad story and great characters, you have to read I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson if you haven't already. My favorite of all time.
You should do a The Mortal Instruments vs Infernal Devices video. I just got my hands on City of Bones and will read it for the first time. I want to know which one is better since TMI is longer than TDI.
Omg...this video made me realize I should've included COBAB as an answer for the question on newly released books I haven't read 🤦🏻♀️ I said City of Brass in my video, but COBAB is definitely up there in my to-read pile.
a reaper at the gates literally traumatized me so much that once you mentioned elias I started choking up tears and then you mentioned laia and I just started c r y I n g
I have the UK hardcover edition of Torch against the Night, it definitely hasn't gone out of print. I just got it on amazon (though amazon UK) but it really shouldn't be too hard to find.
I cannot believe I still haven't read Cassandra Clare or V E Schwab. SO behind!!!!!!!!
Boho Bookworm Read Cassandra Clare, I love her so MUCH!!!
Sameee
Skip Cassandra Clare
V E Schwab is the greatest writer I discovered last year and her writing is phenomenal! 😍😄
I've never read Cassandra Clare either...but I've read Victoris Schwab her writing is beautiful
i can't wait for your in-depth book review of children of blood and bone!! you are pretty much the only person i know who ships the main couple LOL so i'm curious on your take of their relationship development!
I need to read Children of Blood and Bone so bad. Everyone on booktube has been loving it. I'm so nervous it won't be worth the hype...
Same! I finally got it from my library and am both very excited and nervous!
Spoiler: It's not worth the hype...
Kristina Ma agreed, disappointed
Tess Avery Books same
Agreed. It’s hyped! Like so many people are loving it.
Loved this video! This will sound SUPER weird but I love the pace you speak at! It keeps me interested throughout the video
Every time your videos pop up, you brighten my day by a lot! Stay sweet! You're doing a fantastic job :)
Thank you so much 💗
Hope you are having a great day Hannah
Thank you! I hope you are too!
I'm sneakily watching this at work... worth it. 💗
love youuuu
A Clockwork Reader I love you toooo I miss you and your hugs, if I may say 💗
I don't even sneakily watch this now, just out proud! My boss has given up telling me not to watch booktube at work! :D
I read “The Weight of Feathers” last year and it was one of my favorites for the year, can’t wait to read more by her.
YOU BRING ME SO MUCH JOY, thank you for just being you! Have a lovely day, Hannah.
I paused your video near the beginning because I received a package-a signed copy of Children of Blood and Bone. I came back, and you were holding it up! I’m so happy to see other people talking about it. And you made me bump An Ember in the Ashes up on my TBR.

Love your videos 💗
I love ember! I read it for the first time this year and I love it so much.I also cant wait to meet Sabaa at her meet and greet in Boston!
You’ve inspired me to go back to reading, which I haven’t considered doing in three years. Thank you!❤️
THIS TAG IS SO FREAKING FUN!!!
I LOVE HEARING PEOPLE CHECKING IN THEIR READING 😬❤ LOVE YOU!! Your videos always bring your smile to my face hehe
You are too wonderful! 😍
I loved 'Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda' too. 😁 And I'm 18 books ahead of schedule on my reading challenge. ❤️
Have a great day!
I really loved watching this video
I need to read The Astonishing Color of After! :))
You are the reason I finally decided to pick up a book again after a couple of months 😁
I just love how you’ve explained these books. Your my go to for my next book read.
The thought that she describes Aliyah from ember in the ashes as beautiful and courageous makes me so happy! it has nothing to do with Aliyah’s appearance obviously because she’s fictional.
Just ordered the book A Reaper At The Gates, and now I’m scared to read it 😭 they’ve been through so much what will happen now 😢
Yeessss! The Astonishing Color of After. Easily one of my favourites of this year so far. I connected to it on such a deep and personal level and as you said, just the way Emily X.R.

I was so bored and then I saw you posted and I am super happy.Thank you 💚🍭
Thank YOU!!! 💗💗💗
I read Ember in the Ashes. I really enjoyed it and got the 2nd one to start reading that soon.
I started Astonishing Color but I haven't finished it yet! Your reading vlog solidified my want to read it tbh
*RUclips Notification*: A Clockwork Reader published a new video.
*Inside me*: YAAAAYYYYY!!!!

I read Eleanor & Park on audiobook on a fluke and loved it! I ended up sitting on my couch doing nothing just so I could finish it.
Omg I just finished my homework and u posted a definite uplift and welcome break love you hannah💗💗
the struggle of wanting to read ALL THE BOOKS YOU MENTION like right at this second is real. Just got the astonishing color of after because you recommended it though! Can't WAIT to read it as soon as i'm done with the ones i'm reading right now!💙
Yes, astonishing colour of after ened with so much hope. That was the best part
I love the song you play at the end of your videos! It's weirdly comforting for some reason :)
I really FLEW through the first to AEITA books, so I don't remember a ton, but I'm rereading book one now, and HOLY RIZZOLI I'm loving it so much. And now that I've watched a few booktalks and summaries and stuff for the series, I am super pumped for Reaper. I'm ready to be destroyed. But also, I'm not ready LOL. I hope the rest of your year is great!
Hannah, you should read Neil Gaiman. You’d love him.
Great video :) I liked it very much. You always brighten my days with your positivity and kindness!
The Astonishing Color of After has been put on my favorites list! It was so wonderful, sad and hopeful all in one!
Starting An Ember in the Ashes in the next few days on your recommend - can't wait!
I'm about 100 pages from the end of Astonishing Color of After, and I'm loving it! I'm a really slow reader, so I'm impressed with myself for getting through such a long book.
Elias is life. I am dying for the last book in the Ember series. I definitely agree that it is one of the best. I love it so much.
LOVE SIMON WAS AMAZINGGG! 😂😂 also I loved Infinity War to those superhero nerds
i'm surprised you didn't mention the diviners!! it's on my current tbr, as well as children of blood and bone :) my biggest surprise love of the year was the lunar chronicles, especially cress and winter!!
lindsey anne I love the lunar chronicles!
Unpopular opinion: scarlet is my least favorite. Her POV was boring.
FunkyFlowers No you’re good I agree with that
i found myself kind of annoyed with her at the end! and i also didn't like how she kept calling winter crazy i was like what??
I love your videos. They make me so happy and just brighten up my day.
Yes QoAD!!!! I've never been this OBSESSED for ANY series like the way I'm now for The Dark Artifices. I'm DYINGGGG I CAN'T WAIT 😭😭😭
Love you hannah soo much. Soo excited for every video xx
I hope you enjoy!!
You should read Lily and the Octopus!! It reminds me of how you describe The Astonishing Color of After where grief is hopeful and also magical realism!
Carry on by Rainbow Rowell was definitely my biggest surprise of this year so far. Especially because I tried to read it before and didn't like it, but then I tried it again and now I love it sooo much❤
Ahh I need to reread the first two books in An Ember in the Ashes before getting to A Reaper at the Gates!
Yaaas I'm so excited for Queen of Air and Darkness!
Aaah all your hype around An Ember in the Ashes made me so excited to start the serie aswell. It will definitely be my next read :)
I think The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender was the biggest surprise to me this year. I loved it so much.
Yes! The queen has updated! ❤️❤️
I cried about 5 different times in the last hour of school for the year, finishing A Reaper at the Gates... we were literally having a party and I sat in the hall gasping and crying every 2 minutes
P.S. Elias is MINE
Thankyou, love hearing about the books you love! More for me to read, yay!
I just read Children of Blood and Bone last month and it was well worth all the hype! Absolutely love it and I'm dying of anticipation for book 2. Plus, I even got my boyfriend (who is not a reader) to pick it up and he's enjoying it as well which makes me so happy!
Literally most of the books on my shelf is ones I’ve bought after watching your videos!! Love your channel so much
Yes! Love, Simon is everything!!
Wolf by Wolf! I've had it in my to read since last year but I only got around to reading it recently. Didn't expect I'd fall in love with a book like 'that' :o
I've read children of blood and bone and I enjoyed it so much and they are doing a second one and I can't wait for it
Orphan Monster Spy by Matt Killeen was a big surprise for me I didn't think I would like it as much as I did
“I’m hesitant to label anything my favorite because I love so many things.” Same girl, same.
I always get hyped when I get a notification of a new video by you, love you!
Hannah I recommended The Night Circus for my school book club and we’re reading it over the holidays, I trust your opinion !! ❤️
"There's just so many books I need to read," said every reader ever always.
great video. I think the midyear realization hit me cuz I'm in the middle of 13 books right now. (Including an ember in the ahes)
I need to read Torch, I was waiting for it to be closer to Reaper's release, and then it happened and I still haven't read it. Elias is such a beautiful soul, I agree.
You are a goddess, Hannah! I love your channel so much and you inspired me to read more. Thank you!
I really wanted to read “the queen of tearling” but now I don’t know anymore... Hannah and I have pretty similar taste in books, so I don’t know if I wanna use my time on it. CONFUSED.

Katie Richardson it's in my tbr list too!

I'm just glad to that Queen of Air and Darkness is coming out end of this year. The initial wait till 2019 would have destroyed me too much.
Very pleased with the amount of times Ember is mentioned, haha. Excited to watch your video on Reaper! I'm still not okay after finishing it. Both excited for and terrified to read what happens in the last book (whenever it comes out) because it will definitely destroy me XD
I REALLY need to continue the amber in the ashes trilogy! Also, I love your hair ❤️✨📚
hi Hannah i’ve just read the night circus and what can i say.... my life is changed. for real. i love that book so much!! in general you love so many books i adore (children of blood and bone is definitely the best book i’ve read this year). and i’m planning to read turtles all the way down soon after hearing you talk about it - i’ve read a few chapters in a bookstore and it already impacted me so much, but i couldn’t buy it that day sadly. i’m also sooooo excited for muse of nightmares (i’m pretty sure i’ve read strange the dreamer because you recommended it and it was one of my favorite reads of last year hahaha)
the biggest surprise this year for me might be nevermoor: the trials of morrison crow because it’s just so wonderful and magical!
The book that was surprising to me this year was Strange the Dreamer! I know everyone says how amazing it is, but it was better than I imagined!
Amazing video 😍 i really like your videos and i think i will always do and im not kidding but you made read so any stories and i loved them and thank you for that
Yes I’m so happy this came out especially on my birthday!
Yeah... I’m not going to be reading the An Ember in the Ashes series until the last book is close to coming out... (So I don’t have to suffer like the rest of you! Haha!)
That's so smart. I haven't even read the second book yet and I think I'm doing the same thing so I can binge read.
Hannah you need to make a video on how you read so much? I have a 35 book goal. And I only read 16 books. I am hoping to read Strange the Dreamer, and Astonishing color of after. I think I only read COBAB out of the books you mentioned. Loved it!

Im waiting for the second book of Ember in the ashes to come in from the library! I'm currently reading 3 dark crowns.
I have the UK hardcover edition of Torch against the Night, it definitely hasn't gone out of print. I just got it on amazon (though amazon UK) but it really shouldn't be too hard to find.
The Poet X was a big surprise to me! I was surprised I actually had interest in a book told through poetry but that I really enjoyed it too.
I feel the same about QOAD.
Omg ive never been this early....im freaking out. Love you Hannah!
welcome to the early squad! 💗
Hannah you’re my fave!! I get so excited when you upload❤️❤️❤️
also amanda lovelace is so greatttt
THE EMBER SERIES IS LITERALLY MY FAV SERIES EVER!!!! im currently reading reaper and oh my gosh im so stressed i cant breathe
Ooooooh, where did you get that gorgeous red edition of the witch? 😍😱😱😱
