Seriously Hannah, you give the best book recommendations! Every time I watch one of your videos I get in a reading mood

My fave from this summer is hands down Six Of Crows which is now my all time favorite book!
Reti Tauts I cried after reading the ending of crooked kingdom because what I need are biographies on all six characters that is like 1000 pages long because that's how much i love them
YEESSSSSS Six of Crows is everything!! (But personally I like Crooked Kingdom better :D)
And I LOVE inej and kaz because they're just life itself
A Clockwork Reader IKR crooked kingdom was soooo good and I put off reading it because I couldn't imagine this series ending
A Clockwork Reader I'm actually reading Crooked Kingdom right now. Reading it super slowly because I don't want it to end.
I love your voice! it's so soothing ❤
Thank you! 💖
She should do an audiobook!
@@AClockworkReader it really is
When you mentioned Zafòn I squealed! I don'tn see much of Zafòn's work on booktube and it makes me so sad because he's such an amazing writer and I love everything he writes! He's basically my favorite writer of all times ahah
I love his books!!!!!!!!!!
Love love love The Cementery of Forgotten book series, finished it this year. Zafón is an amazing writer. His YA novels are worth reading too but this series in particular just made Zafón one of my favorite writers of all time.
IM SO HAPPY YOU GAVE THE SHADOW OF THE WIND 5/5 STARS YASS ITS MY FAV BOOK OF ALL TIME SO IM SO GLAD YOU LOVED IT (I mean it's literally the inspo for my channel name so clearly I absolutely love it)
YEESSSSS I love the name!! :D
A Clockwork Reader thanks girl!!! He's in the process of writing the fourth and final book in the series and I'm so. Freaking. Pumped. I've read all of his books (I dedicated a whole video to him on my channel😂) AND I NEED MORE
Thank you so much for mentioning Zafon!!!! This guy is undoubtedly one of the most talented authors of the past couple of decades and you never hear of him on booktube, so really THANK YOU!
I am so happy you finally read 'The Shadow of the Wind'! I always had a feeling you would love it as much as I did. I would say it has a few elements of magical realism and I wouldn't really call it a thriller. However it is indeed an incredible book. There are 3 more books in this series, in case you don't know. I am yet to read them but I know they work as companions in some way. I don't know if you are aware of this so I thought I would let you know. The next one is 'The Angel's Game'. My best friend told me it is even better than the first book.
if you didn't already know, shadow of the wind is the first book of the cemetery of forgotten books series. there are four more books which basically focus on explaining all of the characters. i absolutely fell IN LOVE with carlos ruis zafon and his writing
The shadow of the wind is amazing! One of my favourites! The second book is also really good ! Now I need to read the third one !
I feel exactly the same about Our Dark Duet. I sobbed while listening to it, driving on the highway. I was devastated, but I agree that what happened is exactly what needed to happen. And I absolutely adored A Gentleman's Guide. I definitely didn't expect to love it but it was utterly delightful!
Carlos Ruiz Zafón is such a great writer!! You should read the whole series. The Angel's Game is the second installment to the Cemetery of forgotten book series!
Also, I just got Strange the Dreamer, so happy to see it on your top 5 now I'm even more excited to read it!
I finished The Shadow of The Wind today. It was absolutely amazing. I kept telling everyone about what was happening as I read it because so many exciting things were happening.
I must read all of these
I've read The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon last week and it is my favourite book of the year. It's a kind of Faust-retelling. It's the part of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books series, too. His writing is incredible, I'm so happy I've picked this book up. 😀 The Shadow of the Wind is definitely at the top of my TBR.
Shadow of the Wind is such an amazing book... I can't wait to finish the series...
I'm reading The Shadow of the Wind right now! I'm loving it so far.
The Shadow of the Wind was SO good and now you've made me want to reread it since it's been a few years since I read it. Happy you liked it too! For me, this summer's best read is hands down The Night Circus. A massive thanks to you for recommending it and raving about it in your videos
YES to the Shadow of the Wind!!! I'm about to embark on reading his fourth installment in the series and I just cannot wait!
The Shadow of the wind is definitely one of my favorite books ever
I found your channel at the beginning of the summer and now I am obsessed! I read The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender and fell in love!! Also I read Night Circus! It was so amazing to get sucked into a book with such fun characters.
OMG Anne of Green Gables is my all time favourite series! The first book doesn't seem like much and it's kind of childish, I know; but if you progress through the series, the books mature along with Anne and you come to care so much about the characters. The last book, Rilla of Ingleside, in particular, gave me all the feels. Like, it's probably the most I've cried for a book ever! I LOVE ANNEEEEEEE (I'm really passionate about it lol)!!!! Also, thank you for the book recs, I think I'll check out Eliza and Her Monsters and Strange the Dreamer. They sound interesting. Have a nice day Hannah!
I was so happy that you read "The Shadow Of The Wind"! It truly is a very popular book here in Spain, and how it describes war times and the setting in the city of Barcelona is very true.
I don't know if you know that there are 3 more books in the series! "The Angel's Game", "The Prisoner of Heaven" and the last one hasn't been translated into English yet, I believe (it was released just a few months ago). He also has some very interesting YA stand-alones, so if you liked his style of writing I definitely recommend them too!
Carlos Ruiz Zafón is one of my favorite authors, and if you liked this book there are another 3 books in the saga and he has also written some youth novels (although I'm not sure which of them are translated).
I haven't read the other 4 books in the top five, but I'l give it a try to the Victoria Schwab saga 😇
I wanted to read strange the dreamer since you have mentioned it in your ravenclaw book recommendations and now that you talked about it again I immediately ordered it :)
I love your recommandations. I've read the night circus and it has become one of my all time favorite books as well
"Strange the Dreamer" was so amazing!
I love your descriptions! They make me want to read every book that you mentioned!
OMG! I finished reading Our Dark Duet yesterday and I feel exactly the same as you! That is exactly it. I woke up this morning and I kept repeating "I still can't believe it!" I concluded it is because I didn't expect what happened to happen and you said it just right: I was so angry (still am) about the ending, but she made me believe that it's the perfect ending, that it could not have ended any differently. I wanted a different ending, but I get why it had to happen that way. I hope this makes sense.
I read A Shadow of the Wind many many years ago and it has remained one of my favourite books since. I would definitely recommend that you read his other works as he actually has 2 more books that follow A Shadow of the Wind! Your review reminded me just how much i loved it so i think i should re read it again!
Lucie E he's in the process of writing a fourth I'm seriously SO EXCITED
Actually the fourth one is already published in spanish! :) I guess soon will be in english. Or maybe it already is!
Julia's Cemetery of Forgotten Books No way?! That is so exciting!!
Emir Andrés oh really? I didn't see a fourth book on goodreads, but I hope it comes out soon!
Apparently it will be translated in 2018!

I've also read shadow of the wind! It had been sitting on my shelf my whole life (it's my mom's book😜) and one night i decided to read it. I loved it as much as you❤️
I read the six of crows duo-logy this summer, Crooked Kingdom is now my hands down favourite book
That book is like so slutty
The shadow of the wind is sooo good!!! One of my all time favourites!! :)
My favorite book this summer (which is also my new favorite book of all time) was Simon VS The Homosapiens Agenda !!!
I NEED to read that one!!
Strange the Dreamer was excellent. I was blown away by Laini Taylor's beautiful writing style.
Looking forward to reading History is All You Left Me soon! Also HAVE to read THUG soon.. I don't know why I keep putting it off.
I'm obsessed with the gentleman's guide to vice and virtue,and also eliza and her monsters. I've also fallen in love with the night circus and I want to thank you for that,I never would've picked it up if it wasn't for all the praise you give it. ILYSM 😍😘❤
Hannah, a book I think you'd enjoy based on what you've said you've liked...The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman. Basically a "librarian" in an trans-dimentional library goes to a steampunk Victorian era London where magic is a science and she has to retrieve a special book before someone else steals it first. Mystery, adventure, drama and magic all take place in this book.
The magical realism in The Shadow of the Wind is the element of the parallel between the lives of Daniel and Julian, in the sense that Danielès life starts to follow the same course.
I love this so much!!! Usually when the videos are long I don't watch, but you make me stick to the end! Also I love the book recommendations, I always love the books you put in yours videos! Keep being you❤️🔥
Same i really like her longer videos
I'm so glad you loved the Shadow of the Wind! I just re-read it this year and it still holds it's place in the top of my favorite books list. hope you've had a great start to your school year!
I've been wanting to The Gentlemen's Guide to Vice and Virtue for a while now. Maybe I'll put it on my tbr for September. My favorite read of the summer so far has been Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. It's amazing!
Going back to watch your old videos. Now I have an amazon cart and library hold list of new books to read. You are incredible! Thank you for recommending so many amazing books!
I loved loved loved The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue. Planning on rereading that in the fall, along with the Six of Crows duology. I also loved Eliza and Her Monsters. It was just as good as Fangirl.
Hannah, I highly recommend you check out The Song of Achilles. That book is so good, so beautiful. It will break your heart and also fill it with feels
I'm spanish and it makes me so happy when american booktubers read The shadow of the wind and Love it that much 😍😍
I gotta say I've probably read less books in my life than you last summer. But now I really want to start reading more so I came here for some recommendations!
I’m so glad I found your channel. I’ve watched like five of your videos, and I’ve found three new series that I LOVE, thank you so much!
I must say that you seem to be such a kind person! Watching your videos always make me feel calm, happy and less alone because I feel like I know you after binge watching a hell a lot of your videos haha! You are such a good youtuber and individ
I am so glad that Shadow of the Wind is not magical realism because I found out that I am not a fan of the genre. I really wanted to read this book but was hesitant because like you I thought it had magical realism elements in it. Thanks a lot for all the recommendations!
Your video made me order Strange the Dreamer, I find your recommendations fascinating! I read Eliza and her monsters, one of my favorites as well!!
Your top five are on my to-read list. Now I want to read them even more, but can't yet because of other reading commitments...I just keep torturing myself like this, don't I XD? My favorite book I read this summer was definitely "I'll Give You the Sun" by Jandy Nelson. It's in my top favorites now. Lovely video as always, Hannah!
I've been wanting to read Gentleman's Guide and Eliza for so long now! Can't wait to get my hands on them. I always love watching your videos! They're always so heartfelt and passionate and a big inspiration.
I read a lot this summer, but i finally read six of crows (after your recommendation) and i loved it! I also really liked the raven circle by maggie stiefvater
We have such similar book tastes it's so amazing cause anything you've ever recommended has been absolutely amazing 😍💕
Thanks to you I have gotten back into reading and read almost 3 books over a few days. I've noted a load of your recommendations and can't wait to get to them next 💞
I love watching your videos!! My favorite book from this summer is Lord of Shadows even though the ending broke my heart.
You had an amazing summer! I also 100% adored The Hate U Give. Incredible in every way. I highly recommend Angie Thomas’s second book- On the Come Up which is also amazing. I also read Gentleman’s Guide (bc of your recommendation!) and LOVED it! You should definitely check out the sequel- it’s awesome and I loved it so much. Women supporting each other is a big theme which I loved seeing and Felicity developed as a character so much! I definitely plan to read the others you recommended!❣️💗
Ever since I found your channel I've been watching your videos non stop. your videos make me want to go to a book store ,have a cup of coffee and just buy all your recommendations 💖
I've read some of my all time favorite series- Lords of the Underworld and Sequel to The Immoral series by Alyson Noel and the Dolls by James Patterson. Loved them all.
Eliza & Her Monsters is one of my new favorites as well 💕
The gentleman's guide to vice and virtue was amazing~~ I just love the energy and realism of the characters and how it's funny yet focuses on real life problems that are really big right now! I think the book came out at the time we needed to be reminded that it's okay to like the same sex and to be different and like different things
I really live your videos and I want to thank you for everything.💕
You are so authentic and perfect in you own way. I can truly relate to you and I'm so happy that I found you on RUclips.📚 My friends don't like to read and I'm often feeling alone with my love of books.
I'm so grateful. Thanks for everything.😁
My favorite book I read this summer is one I got from NetGalley. The Goblins of Bellwater by Molly Ringle.
It's a stand alone, and I highly recommend it. So good.
I really want to read The Shadow of the Wind, I really feel guilty because so many people have loved it and he is actually for my country and i haven't taken it yet😅. Love your videos.
Stumbled upon this review and subscribe 10mins into your video 🙌🏼 I go through videos to get books for my personal tbr you showed books I've never seen love it!
My favourite books I read this summer are Flame in the Mist and When Dimple met Rishi💕 I really loved your video😊😍
The best book I read this summer (so far) is "Into The Water" by Paula Hawkins.
People, read that book, it's so good.
I love you Hannah!!! I was on Goodreads, then I went to Instagram and I got a pop up from your page saying that you posted a new video and I almost screamed. I went on RUclips and watched your video! Made my day :)
You must read "let the sky fall"
It's like .... Can't even describe how good it is!!! I am recommending it to you cause I know that you'll love them!!
The Red Queen series. Which I just finished last week. And still tore me apart (especially that epilogue!!). And I honestly can't wait for the next book!
so glad that you loved the shadow of the wind - its one of my all time favs!
i ordered the gentleman’s guide bc of you! i’m getting it on monday and i’m so excited :D
I love your videos cause you look so calm hahaha it's very nice to watch. Loved the books and I'm very curious about Strange the dreamer now!
Can i read six of crows and crooked kingdom even if i haven't ever read leigh bardugo's previous the grisha series?
sunshinerays yes, absolutely!!! That's what I did and I absolutely loved six of crows and crooked kingdom. There are some characters from the Grisha trilogy in the crooked kingdom, but you can live without knowing what their stories are.
I wasn't even finished with the six of crows when I purchased the Grisha trilogy because the writing and the world are miraculous.
So you can do it either way, all of the books are beatifully written.
sunshinerays You can, but you might be spoiled for some parts of the Grisha series
Thank you so much for all the replies. I've decided that i'm going to read the grisha series first! I had bought six of crows and crooked kingdom a few weeks ago without realising they were part of the same world as the grisha series, so i think for me it would be best if I'm introduced into the world before delving right in! :)
sunshinerays That's a great choice! Hope you enjoy them (:
Ella G thank you so much! X
Great recommendations! I am probably going to read all of those books because of how interesting you made them sound. My favorite book this summer was The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.
Thank you so much. I couldn't decide what i wanted to read next and this really helped 😊
Eva YAYY!! I'm so glad ☺️💜
I'd say I'm about in the middle of Our Dark Duet and hearing your thoughts on the end have really got me think 🤔🤔
One of my absolute favourite books I read this summer is How To Make A Wish, it was so good! And I am currently reading Elize And Her Monsters and really enjoying it so far!
I just found your channel, and as I need some new books to read, I've been watching your videos. I really appreciate how detailed you are about what you like and dislike about books, as that really helps me decide if I sounds like something I would be interested in. (Plus, after watching the video about popular books you didn't like, it helped me put my finger on why I didn't like a couple of them myself, lol.) As for what I've been reading, I've been kicking it old school recently and rereading the "Dragonriders of Pern" series by Anne McCaffrey.
Super random comment but I love that you pronounced the names from The Shadow of the Wind in spanish, like people usually say DAniel, not daniEL (sounds girly like Danielle so it puts people off lol), or soft J for Julian, etc, and it's so cool to hear them pronounced in the original language (I'm from Spain, btw) haha this was such a random thought but totally caught my attention that you did that
I've read all the books on the list (including honorable mentions) besides Shadow of the Wind, and I really enjoyed all of them but my favourite was Our Dark Duet. No competition. I also haven't recovered from it.
I agreed with everything you said about the Gentleman's Guide ! I could not put it down definitely one of my all time favs !!
And btw I'm starting the Night Circus !! (after your never ending recommendations) :))
I love your books so much! This is literally where I come to find good books I'll want to read!!
I get so happy when you post a video ☺️☺️
P.S. your love for Avatar pushed me to start watching and I. Am. Obsessed. It is amazing, thanks for recommending!
I own a copy of A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue but I haven't read it yet and I am very excited to start it now
Hannah, your honestly so precious your recommendations are the best, I relate to you SO MUCH. My favorite booktuber of all time, your videos make me happy
I loved This Savage Song so much more than Our Dark Duet to me the 2nd book left a few unanswered questions. But they were both excellent reads and I appreciated the way ODD ended. HP & the Prisoner of Azkaban and Daughter of the Pirate King were a few I really enjoyed! Great reads there are a few you mentioned that I want to read.
I am reading a conjuring of light and ill finish it today and its just soooooo gooood urrrgh. I've also read history is all you left me and no matter the wrackage because of you
I loveee this!! Thank you so much,
Existence Is Books Thank YOU 💗💗💗
Not sure if you know this because you didn't mention it, but Shadow of the Wind is the first of a four book series, so there's plenty more to read and enjoy :) thank you for all the recommendations!
Aaa The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue was one of my top books of the summer, too!
I read 2 books over the summer you go girl
My favourite this summer was probably 'Sabriel' by Garth Nix- the world-building is amazing, original without being weird, and I absolutely love Sabriel as a heroine.
Some people like to do wrap ups every 5 or 10 books they read, IDK if this would work for you but it doesn't matter cause I love your videos no matter what lol
I get such good vibes from you and your videos. I'm def gonna pick up the gentlemans guide
I looove your channel!! You are so cool and nice and your bookshelf is goals :-)
My favourite so far this summer has been The Final Empire (first in the Mistborn trilogy). I only read it after watching your "Best Series" video and MY GOD I cannot wait to read the second and third (I don't gots the left over money currently but `Christmas is a comin!). But yeah that shit was so gooddd.
I always struggle in the summer to find books I want to read because I basically only read fantasy and I think it goes better with the fall/winter (yep I'm a seasonal reader haha), but I can always count on you for awesome recommendations !
I read the Shades of Magic trilogy (based off of your recommendation) and absolutely loved it! I tore right through those three books. I also just finished The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner which I also really enjoyed. Since you liked Dante and Aristotle so much, you might want to check this one out as well.
Glad to hear that you finally read and loved Shadow of the Wind. It's one of my all time favorite books. The 3rd sequel will be coming out next year so I'm very excited for that. (Angel's Game wasn't as good, but I did also really enjoy Prisoner of Heaven).
Very good- will be taking these recommendations!
Hannah you are wonderful to hear, all your reviews are so good! Thankyou so much, I am reading how green your valley and love it ,also reading strange the dreamer.
All these books sound so great, I can't wait to read them:) Also, you're very pretty 😍😍
