Yay! I’m quite excited that you’ll be reading Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom this year. I adore the duology, mostly because I am so in love with the characters that are a part of the crew. I’m also happy to see The Book Thief on the list! I read that one years ago, and I really liked it.
you're my all time favourite booktuber, please never stop making videos! you are such an inspiration and you are amazing in what you do!! keep up the good work, I love you sooo much 😘
Vicky Avila Zuniga I would love that! Lol I haven't read the third book yet I've been putting it off but it's on my my tbr for this month. I know it got a few bad reviews but I'm hoping for the best lol
sandruszka14 I just finished reading it for the first time recently and it is now one of my favs. I love the characters so much. But it yes, it is really heartbreaking.😖💔
Hi Emily, since you want to read more non-fiction, I have 2 recommendations to make :) : Because you're also into beauty - I'm thinking : The secret live of colors by Kassia St Clair might be something you would enjoy. And a bit of science non-fiction : Napoleon's Buttons: How 17 Molecules Changed History by Penny Le Couteur, it's quite fascinating :)
I’m also planning to start the Robin Hobb books this year. Can’t believe I’m agreeing to read a 16 book series when I have a million books on my TBR already!
I started reading Robin Hobb when I was a kid and have grown up with the series. It's an experience unlike any other. Her books have a special place in my library.
Assassin's Apprentice is brilliant, the whole of that first trilogy (Farseer) is my favourite out of all of Robin Hobb's (especially Royal Assassin which I could not put down)
Golden Rain is amazing, Emily!! It's so much better than the first book and it's where it really goes into adult sci fi territory imo. Also, continue with Mistborn!! Era 2 is not as "epic" as the first trilogy but it's super fun to read! :)
Im excited to hear what you have to say about Assassins apprentice! Robin Hobb is great with character developement and it is one of my favorite series.
I don't want to over hype The Book Thief and give you out of this world expectations for this book, but I would like to say I hope you read it very very very very soon! I went into it not expecting much and I can honestly say it's the best book I read in 2017. Oh my heart, I loved it. Hope you enjoy it as well!
OMG PLEASE READ THIS EMILY!!!! All the Farseer Triolgy is so good! Verity is my favorite character! I'm currently in the Tawny man Trio. You can skip the Liveship Traders if you want. Read Assassins Apprentice soon! It's so good! OMG please! I will say that the first book I was a bit bored by until the second half, but the second book was my favorite so far, and the third ripped my heart into shreds and KILLED my soul. Happy reading.
Emily, I was listening while driving home and every time you moved to the next book I was hoping you would say Hyperion. And you did!! I hope you love it as much as I did.
I'm so excited for you! The book thief and SoC duology are my favorite books so I definitely can't wait to see what you think. (Whether you liked it or not)
That's an excellent list! I've read some: - Assassin's Apprentice. The length of the other books in the trilogy might have affected my enjoyment a little, but I'm going to pick up Ship of Magic very soon. Robin Hobb's writing is very good. - The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. I wanted more science, but it's still enjoyable. It was also made into a movie with Oprah and I can't wait to check it out. - Queen of the Tearling. The first book I didn't super like, but the series gets better. I personally liked the ending of the third book. But I wouldn't reread the series. - The Book Thief. Maybe it's because I saw the movie first, but the book didn't break my heart. Still a great story though.
Said it once, will say it again: The Greatcoats books are awesome! I myself am waiting for the physical copy of the third one but BookDepository is taking forever.... Great video Emily, charming as always!
That description of Red Rising sounds amazing. I tried to listen to it on audiobook a while ago but couldn’t get into it. Maybe I need to give it another try.
I really enjoyed The Monsters of Verity series. The Immortal Life of Henrietta lacks is amazing. I'm only a few chapters in but it's fantastic. I love the narrator as well.
I'm so glad I found your channel, your taste in books is great and I love all of your content! As soon as i heard you talking about Brandon Sanderson I knew I had to subscribe
As someone who has personally worked with HeLa cells, I really want to get to the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks this year too. Plus all the fantasy books :)
Ohhhh, I really enjoyed Oryx and Crake. I had literally zero idea of what it was about and it was really fun. Also, because I'm weird, I liked it a lot better than The Handmaid's Tale and Alias Grace. It was just more entertaining, I think. About Robin Hobb, this first trilogy is not the best (even though it's still pretty good), but The Liveship Traders trilogy, OMG. It's amazing, especially if you like your fantasy with character-driven stories. IT'S JUST SO GOOD. Hopefully you'll enjoy these books this year!
The Unseen World is definitely worth a read. I love Sci-Fi but hadn't heard of the Culture Series so I need to check that out. Thank you for the recommendation!
I finished monsters of verity duology last year. I couldn't connect much with this savage song but it got me curious and I read our dark duet and I love love love it!!
Book thief will ruin you in the best way! Pierce Brown's new book is apart of the Red Rising series so that is on my TBR this year for sure as it gets better as it goes so hopefully I am not disappointed with the latest one! Six of crows is so good character wise. I am currently reading a closed and common orbit and loving it so happy to see that there will be a third book coming! I am also trying to diversify what I read and you have given me a few to add to my TBR. Also are you planning on reading Sylvian Neuvel's third book? I know I am! :)
I really enjoyed the Greatcoats series! Sometimes i felt like the books repeated themselves😐but if you can get over that then you're going to enjoy them👍
Golden Son is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! Lol it’s so action packed and the ending! Oh my god, I can’t even deal! I literally had my mouth wide open from shock as I was reading the last page ha ha!!
You definitely have to pick up The Book Thief sooner than later! It's so so good! I waiting a long time to read it too but when I did omg 👌🏼 I tried to read The Women in Cabin 10 but couldn't get into it and never finished it.
Assasins apprentice & the queen of the tearling are also on my tbr for 2018. Traitors blade I keep seeing in my feed so that's definitely on my tbr too. Hopefully we'll both like these books.
I love Six of Crows! I hope you enjoy it! I also feel like I didn't like Red Rising as much as I expected to, but whenever I see it I feel the urge to finish the series. I love the cover of My Plain Jane so much!!! My sister loves Margaret Attwood, especially her book The Blind Assassin (which she got me for my birthday, and I haven't read it yet). I'm going to try to read The Way of Kings this year, even though it's so long and terrifies me.
I actually didn't like Red Rising very much at all and debated if I was gonna read Golden Son but when I read it I loved it, it ended up being my favourite book in the series!
I’m also gonna read Six of Crows and The Savage Song! I love these videos cause I have the same taste as you so i get a lot of recommendations. Great video.
I really enjoyed the Queen of the Tearling trilogy! The first and second books are my favorites (especially the 2nd) - I was also not a fan of the 3rd book. But it's worth reading just for the first two books! It's a really interesting take on fantasy that I haven't encountered before (although, admittedly, I haven't read as much fantasy as you!).
My partner is reading A Short History of Nearly Everything and really enjoying it! I loved the Book Thief even though I really don’t like historical / WW2 fiction. Yes, I cried. Not a lot , but I did (and I never cry in books)
I plan on reading The Hate U Give, The Night Circus, The Book Thief, Lost in a Book, The Chaos of Standing Still, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (all 3 books), and the Harry Potter series. I'd also like to reread The Hobbit.
Want a couple more books with Death as a character? HIGHLY recommend Mort, Reaper Man, and Soul Music by Terry Pratchett! Death (And Death of Rats) is a major character in these, and such a great one at that :) And Bill Bryson is a very personable author. I've read The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got That Way, and it was fantastic.
The Book Thief is absolutly amazing !!! It's one of my favorite book of all time 😍 also, if you're looking for historical fiction, I highly recommand checking the Ken Follett's ones, he is an amazing author
I need to go back and read allow of war again before continuing with the mist born. When I read it the first time I was deep in resentment for its existence as I loved the trilogy and thought it ended perfectly. I'm sure I'll love the new books now i've adjusted to the continuation. I love almost all of the Robin Hobb books, they all follow a timeline with crossover characters, except for the soldier son trilogy. I hated the soldier son middle book, didn't think much to the 3rd either 😕 I hope all your anticipated books meet and exceed your expectations 😁
Iain is pronounced like ‘ee-an’ 😊 I’ve just started reading Robin Hobb. I just finished the second book in the Farseer trilogy and I love it so far! Hope you enjoy!
The Book Thief and The Unseen World are two of my favorite books! I hope you enjoy them too =D That Robin Hobb series sounds super interesting and makes me wanna check it out myself. I keep hearing about This Savage Song, The Woman in Cabin 10, My Lady Jane, and Red Rising and I really wanna read those too!
You should subscribe online to the BANQ if it isn’t already done. There’s currently only 1 person on the waitlist for the ebook of The woman in cabin 10 and there are 11 copies of it. I know you already bought it, but something to think of for the future!
i couldn't find it so here my question: which camera and artificial light do you use? i really love your videos! i just binge watched nearly all of your videos while studying, there's just something really relaxing and comforting about your voice ;D
Its funny cause I have the Woman in Cabin 10 coming from book outlet today! I went a little crazy with the last major sale they were having (15 books for $55!)
The one on Henrietta Lacks sounds great! The ovarian cancer cells they took from her are know as the ‘Immortal Cells’, which they call HeLa cells due to taking the first two letters of her first and last name. The cells are considered immortal because they aren’t programmed to quit replicating after so many cycles, and basically die out, like normal healthy cells. This makes them out to be the very best cells for lab work since they can be infinitely cultured, and each culture can be exposed to things like viruses, which can then be studied and eventually lead to vaccinations. HeLa cells have been the source of so many ground breaking vaccinations, and are still used all over the world today!
I really loved The Unseen World a lot, more than I expected to. Also, hooray for The Book Thief! :) Interestingly, the Tearling trilogy isn't actually classed as YA by the publisher, I don't think - in my local store, it was shelved with the adult fantasy section. But it does feel very YA, especially since the main character is a teenager.
If you are going to read Hyperion, you will need to pick up The Fall of Hyperion right after, because the two books are really one story - kind of like Lord of the Rings, - and make little sense without each other. Hyperion sets the backstory for all six (? if I recall correctly) characters and ends just when the main story is introduced. Don't despair though, the backstories are wonderful, and are important for the plot of the second book. Just pretend it's one big, chunky book in two volumes. I believe Terry Pratchett's Discworld series has some volumes told from the perspective of Death, so if you are in the mood for humorous fantasy that's a contender.
i have been wanting to read the Grisha trilogy and Six of crows. I got the wonder woman by her that is on my list to read this year and red rising because i want to read more sci fi this year
I read red rising on august 2015. SHAME. It is also in my TBR 2018, want to read book 2 AND 3. I really enjoyed it but it was a slow read for me which I think is why I never picked up the other one even though I've been meaning to for a while. But now I am on a "Finishin book series" mission and its really motivating me ahha. I thought you read this savage song, dont know why. Also on my TBR. I read the darker shade trilogy this past 3 months and decided I shall read ALL of victoria shwab books. (Except the one that is like on hiaitus cause no one is buying the books... yeah not getting into that. Its weird though she is super popular now why cant the publisher allow the final book to be published O.O anyyyy way). Queen of the tearling is getting a movie with Emma Watson I think. TBR 2018 ;) this is fun I almost never read books at the same time of the people I follow on youtube. probably cause I used to read 10 books a year hmmm. :P
YAYYYYY I have Assassin's Apprentice and My Lady Jane and have heard wonderful things about both! Let me know if you're ever down for a buddy read :)
I'll buddy read the book thief with you!
Ooooo. Let me know if y'all buddy read My Lady Jane. That is definitely up my alley.
oh I missread and thought this was Emily xD Can't you two gals organize a buddy read for my lady jane!? :D
Just wanted to say I enjoy watching your videos . You have to be one of my favourite UA-cam 😃
Yay! I’m quite excited that you’ll be reading Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom this year. I adore the duology, mostly because I am so in love with the characters that are a part of the crew.

Just bought some tacos and sat down to find a new video from you. Needless to say I'm having an excellent time lol
Also I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Queen of the Tearling I really enjoyed it.
josefina diaz omg can we be friends? I LOVE queen of the Tearling especially the last book and tacos are my life 😂
Vicky Avila Zuniga I would love that! Lol I haven't read the third book yet I've been putting it off but it's on my my tbr for this month. I know it got a few bad reviews but I'm hoping for the best lol
So excited to hear what you think of Hyperion. I finished it in December and it was one of my all-time favorites!
The book thief is amazing! Death is actually the narrator and yes it will break your heart!! But it's soo good.
sandruszka14 I just finished reading it for the first time recently and it is now one of my favs. I love the characters so much. But it yes, it is really heartbreaking.😖💔
I'm going to read it sometime this year
I cannot wait until you get to Assassin’s Apprentice!! Robin Hobb was my champion of 2017
I just reread Six of Crows and I'm so excited for you to read it! It's just fantastic and only got better upon my reread.
You're one of my few must-watch youtubers lately haha, legit watch every single one of your videos as soon as I see it's up
Hi Emily, since you want to read more non-fiction, I have 2 recommendations to make :) :
Because you're also into beauty - I'm thinking : The secret live of colors by Kassia St Clair might be something you would enjoy.
And a bit of science non-fiction : Napoleon's Buttons: How 17 Molecules Changed History by Penny Le Couteur, it's quite fascinating :)
Yes! The Farseer Trilogy is on my 2018 TBR lead also!!

I'm also planning on reading the Six of Crows duology in 2018!! So excited ☺️☺️
I just finished Six of Crows and it was amazing! I love the diversity in it.
Hyperion blew my mind over and over. This author is a genious ! It starts pretty heavy indeed but after like 25 pages you'll be fine !
The continuation of the mistborn is so good!!! The characters make the story and it’s so funny!
By far my #1 Booktuber!! 😩💕 You go Emily!!
Golden Rain is amazing, Emily!! It's so much better than the first book and it's where it really goes into adult sci fi territory imo. Also, continue with Mistborn!! Era 2 is not as "epic" as the first trilogy but it's super fun to read! :)
I absolutely love the Red Rising trilogy! Iron gold is coming soon and I am so excited!
You will love the book thief. It is my favorite book of all time
Sharon Janssens Mine too 😁

Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom were some of my favorite books I read last year!
Yes! Oryx and Crake! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it. For me it's a love hate book
That's an excellent list! I've read some:
- Assassin's Apprentice. The length of the other books in the trilogy might have affected my enjoyment a little, but I'm going to pick up Ship of Magic very soon. Robin Hobb's writing is very good.
- The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. I wanted more science, but it's still enjoyable. It was also made into a movie with Oprah and I can't wait to check it out.

I cannot recommend this book enough.
Loved the Farseer trilogy so much!
Ohhhh, I really enjoyed Oryx and Crake. I had literally zero idea of what it was about and it was really fun. Also, because I'm weird, I liked it a lot better than The Handmaid's Tale and Alias Grace. It was just more entertaining, I think.

Iron gold is the next book in the red rising trilogy, is set 10 years after the events of red rising, my mostly anticipated book of this year
Book thief will ruin you in the best way! Pierce Brown's new book is apart of the Red Rising series so that is on my TBR this year for sure as it gets better as it goes so hopefully I am not disappointed with the latest one!

I really enjoyed the Greatcoats series! Sometimes i felt like the books repeated themselves😐but if you can get over that then you're going to enjoy them👍
Golden Son is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! Lol it’s so action packed and the ending! Oh my god, I can’t even deal! I literally had my mouth wide open from shock as I was reading the last page ha ha!!
the queen of the tearling has a really lovely cover!
You definitely have to pick up The Book Thief sooner than later! It's so so good! I waiting a long time to read it too but when I did omg 👌🏼 I tried to read The Women in Cabin 10 but couldn't get into it and never finished it.
Assasins apprentice & the queen of the tearling are also on my tbr for 2018. Traitors blade I keep seeing in my feed so that's definitely on my tbr too. Hopefully we'll both like these books.

I LOVED the unseen world ! Even though I usually do not read that kind of books either :) Hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as I did ! :D
I actually didn't like Red Rising very much at all and debated if I was gonna read Golden Son but when I read it I loved it, it ended up being my favourite book in the series!
THE BOOK THIEF IS AMAZING!!! The narrator is death and makes my book even better
Yes! Read The Book Thief. Not a fan of historical fiction but it's obe of my favorite books. Have youbread To Kill a Mocking Bird?
I’m also gonna read Six of Crows and The Savage Song! I love these videos cause I have the same taste as you so i get a lot of recommendations. Great video.
I really enjoyed the Queen of the Tearling trilogy! The first and second books are my favorites (especially the 2nd) - I was also not a fan of the 3rd book. But it's worth reading just for the first two books! It's a really interesting take on fantasy that I haven't encountered before (although, admittedly, I haven't read as much fantasy as you!).
Yay! You're reading Wax and Wayne! In my personal opinion, they're even better than the first trilogy.
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is SO good!
My partner is reading A Short History of Nearly Everything and really enjoying it! I loved the Book Thief even though I really don’t like historical / WW2 fiction. Yes, I cried. Not a lot , but I did (and I never cry in books)
Bill Bryson is hilarious. It doesn't what he writes about, it's always an entertaining read.
Yay Hyperion!
I really liked Six of Crows! Fantasy heist that definitely delivers on the best of both genres.
I plan on reading The Hate U Give, The Night Circus, The Book Thief, Lost in a Book, The Chaos of Standing Still, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (all 3 books), and the Harry Potter series. I'd also like to reread The Hobbit.
Want a couple more books with Death as a character? HIGHLY recommend Mort, Reaper Man, and Soul Music by Terry Pratchett! Death (And Death of Rats) is a major character in these, and such a great one at that :)
And Bill Bryson is a very personable author. I've read The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got That Way, and it was fantastic.
The Book Thief is absolutly amazing !!! It's one of my favorite book of all time 😍 also, if you're looking for historical fiction, I highly recommand checking the Ken Follett's ones, he is an amazing author
The Woman In Cabin 10 is SUCH a good read. I love Ruth Ware. Currently listening to The Lying Game on audiobook!
Wow your subscribers list had increased! 👍 I read Queen of Tearling and enjoyed it. I added some books to my tbr.
FINALLY Six of Crows!!! Mon livre préféré de 2017 😊
when ever you're ready for it, would love a video on your recommended or favourite non-fiction reads!
I love that you mixing in nonfiction, I am trying to read more of it in 2018 too :)
I hope you enjot Golden Son!! Red Rising is one of my fave series. Really can't wait for Iron Gold which is comes out next week!! ❤
i am going to read six of crows after two days when amazon will deliver it i am excited to read it . Nice timing
I LOVED This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab! I hope you enjoy it as well. I still need to read Our Dark Duet
I need to go back and read allow of war again before continuing with the mist born. When I read it the first time I was deep in resentment for its existence as I loved the trilogy and thought it ended perfectly. I'm sure I'll love the new books now i've adjusted to the continuation.

Iain is pronounced like ‘ee-an’ 😊
I’ve just started reading Robin Hobb. I just finished the second book in the Farseer trilogy and I love it so far! Hope you enjoy!
I want to read more Non-fiction too, but like you I have to be in the mood and not tired.
The Book Thief and The Unseen World are two of my favorite books! I hope you enjoy them too =D That Robin Hobb series sounds super interesting and makes me wanna check it out myself. I keep hearing about This Savage Song, The Woman in Cabin 10, My Lady Jane, and Red Rising and I really wanna read those too!

I've wanted to read the Book Thief for awhile but for some reason I haven't picked it up yet! Can't wait to see what you think of it!
I'm just so scared I won't like it as much as everyone else :S
Emily! You should read The Wrong Mother by Sophie Hannah and Those Girls by Chevy Stevens when you're in the mood for mystery/thriller
i couldn't find it so here my question: which camera and artificial light do you use?
i really love your videos! i just binge watched nearly all of your videos while studying, there's just something really relaxing and comforting about your voice ;D
Its funny cause I have the Woman in Cabin 10 coming from book outlet today! I went a little crazy with the last major sale they were having (15 books for $55!)
thebookaddiction you're kidding are you!? I NEED this, Im sooo broke from buying books 😂
arusha bucktawor it was right after Christmas. Was a good investment haha
you have to read this savage song soon! i absolutely LOVE it and i LOOVE victoria schwab!
I am reading six of crows right now 💕 and loving it
The one on Henrietta Lacks sounds great! The ovarian cancer cells they took from her are know as the ‘Immortal Cells’, which they call HeLa cells due to taking the first two letters of her first and last name. The cells are considered immortal because they aren’t programmed to quit replicating after so many cycles, and basically die out, like normal healthy cells.

I started hyperion a few days ago and its soooo good I love it
this savage song is so good you need to read it now

i have been wanting to read the Grisha trilogy and Six of crows. I got the wonder woman by her that is on my list to read this year and red rising because i want to read more sci fi this year
I'm reading This Savage Song right now!
yes, the immortal life of Henrietta Lacks is an amazing book. such an important story for people to know.
queen of the tearling and the book thief are both on my must reads for this year too :) me and you have similar opinions on so many books
I read red rising on august 2015. SHAME. It is also in my TBR 2018, want to read book 2 AND 3. I really enjoyed it but it was a slow read for me which I think is why I never picked up the other one even though I've been meaning to for a while. But now I am on a "Finishin book series" mission and its really motivating me ahha.
I thought you read this savage song, dont know why. Also on my TBR. I read the darker shade trilogy this past 3 months and decided I shall read ALL of victoria shwab books. (Except the one that is like on hiaitus cause no one is buying the books... yeah not getting into that. Its weird though she is super popular now why cant the publisher allow the final book to be published O.O anyyyy way).
Queen of the tearling is getting a movie with Emma Watson I think. TBR 2018 ;) this is fun I almost never read books at the same time of the people I follow on youtube. probably cause I used to read 10 books a year hmmm. :P
Book Thief is a great book, I loved the writing and the characters. I did enjoy the movie too, though I think the book is better.
