I feel like after completing the last book in the Fitz and the Fool trilogy you should do a whole dedicated video talking about Robin Hobb's books, I NEED to hear your every thought about every book/every series ♥
I cannot WAIT for you to read Nona the Ninth. It's the least "confusing" of the three but still so fun. Harrow is probably my favorite in the series but Nona is fantastic too.
Once Upon A Broken Heart is one of my favorite series and I’m so happy you enjoyed it! I hope you enjoy Ballad Of Never After - that is one of my favorite books EVER. ❤️
Harrow the Ninth is a mindf*** and I loved every minute of it. It took a chapter or two to adjust, but once I did I ate that book up. It still had moments that made me bust out laughing, moments that broke my heart, and moments that had my jaw drop. Muir is doing such a great job with the series, and I can't wait to pick up Nona for myself.
I also read 11 books in January! Many great books, but my most exciting was reading The Blade Itself, which was my first ever Joe Abercrombie and I LOVED it! It's so exciting knowing in your gut that you'd love a certain author, and when you finally do read them, they become a fast favourite and then you have their entire body of work to read 🙂woo-hoo! 📚⚔👏
I read Tress of the Emerald Sea this month off of your recommendation and loved it!! Also, I am absolutely OBSESSED with your new hair color. Brings out your eyes. Happy February!
I read 10 books in Jan: Remnants of Filth vol 2, Understanding Poverty: A Relational Approach, Ruin Me, Case Files of Jeweler Richard vol 6, A Thousand Autumns 3, A Poetics of Courtly Male Friendship in Heian Japan, the Great Mirror of Male Love, the Gossamer Years, Lords of the Sea: Pirates, Violence, and Commerce in Late Medieval Japan, and This Monk Wears Heels, which I managed to squeeze in on the 30th.
So happy you read Harrow!!! My friend who initially recommended the series to me had warned me I would be confused for at least 80% of the book…he was not wrong 😂 But I totally agree with you about loving all of Muir’s decisions, and just being along for the ride - Harrow just takes things to another level, especially since it builds on so many of thecharacters and events from Gideon! Book 3 (Nona) diverges in tone AGAIN, from both Gideon and Harrow….and it is so, so wonderful. I think Harrow is still my favorite of the three, but it honestly feels like choosing between my children. If Gideon is the murder mystery trope, and Harrow is the unhinged woman trope, then Nona is without a doubt the found family trope ❤️
Did you know that there is an animated movie “the last unicorn “ with music from the band America? In german Christopher Lee is dubbing his character and it is so good. One of my favourite movies.
January 1. Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not) by Jose Rizal, Translated by Soledad Lacsin-Locson 2. The Buccaneers by Edith Wharton & Marion Mainwaring 3. Secret Window, Secret Garden by Stephen King 4. Damascus Gate by Robert Stone 5. An Echo of Things to Come by James Islington
Maybe you know this but the band Within Temptation's song Hand of Sorrow is based on the Farseer Trilogy. It was what introduced me to this series back in 2007! I was like I must read these books and feel all the feels! I did, indeed, feel the feels.
I read 3 books in January! Two of the books: Children Of Gods and Fighting Men by Shauna Lawless and A Flame in the Night by Morgan Dante were just alright (3 stars about). But The Will of the Many was my last book of the month and blew me away so hard !! 🤭
Hey Regan! I love your videos, you are literally the only booktuber I take recommendations from. I just got out of a reading slump and I am thinking about expanding into genres I don’t normally read. I would love a recommendations video on fantasy books for people new to the genre!!
The last unicorn and the deep sky are my new favorites so amazing awesome characters 🌹❤️❤️🌹🌹❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹💕❤️❤️🌹🌹💕💕❤️❤️🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹❤️❤️💕💕❤️🌹🌹🌹📖📖📖📙📙📚📚📚📚📖📖📖📖💕📚📚📙📙📚📚📚📙📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📚📙📙📚📚
You should totally read the caraval series because the main characters from it make small cameos in this series and jacks is also a major character in the first series as well! It is great but not as good as once upon a broken heart!
I read Tress of the Emerald Sea recently and loved it so much- I think I smiled the whole time reading it!! I also read the Strange the Dreamer duology and was so impressed by how beautiful and fantastical it was- I think it's super underrated and Laini Taylor has such a lovely writing style! I also read Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross and was kinda underwhelmed lol...I was underwhelmed by Divine Rivals too but it was definitely better than Ruthless Vows.
I love your turtleneck. It is so cute. I'm looking forward to the second Emily Wilde book. I have the audiobook of How to Lose the Time War on request through Libby and it's a several month wait. I'm looking forward to reading it when it is available. I really want to read Stephanie Garbor books but I need to work my way through some other series before picking up any new ones.
I liked Two Twisted Crowns because I specifically like forest magic, but I didn’t understand the decision to add a new POV, especially since that character wasn’t particularly interesting in book one. It disrupted the momentum of the cliffhanger in the first book.
I'm excited to read the Hexologists and the second Emily Wilde! In January, I read In Memoriam by Alice Winn, which is an amazing literary historical fiction story about two boys in love who go to war, and I also read Happy Place by Emily Henry, which was really cute 💛
This January I read the strange and beautiful sorrows of Ava Lavender, House of Salt and Sorrows and Welcome to Hyunam-Dong Bookshop, all of them great reads!
New subscriber here. 🙋♀️ Is YT your full time job? I barely got through three books in January. If YT is not your main main, where do you get the time? The dedication and skill is incredible, ❤
Acosf was a tricky one for me. I liked Nesta as a individual character the most and her journey, but I didn't love the romance for the exact same reasons you mentioned. I actually liked how cassian acted with his friends more. I like banter and cassian had it with everyone but Nesta 🥴😬 Gideon the ninth is a must for me. I need to get to it asap. The deep sky sounds so cool! I want to read more scifi so I may have to pick that one up 🖤✨️
These all look super interesting! I would say one of the books that I absolutely loved last month was Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune. It was a 5 stars for me.
Here's what I read Birthday girl by Penelope Douglas Thicker than water by kerry Washington memoir Say you swear by meagan brandy Things we hide from the light by Lucy score The lost ticket by freya Sampson A marvellous light by freya marske Little women by Louisa may alcott All of our demise by Amanda foody The shining by Stephen king The fraud squad Practice makes perfect by Sarah Adams Yours truly by abby Jimenez
I think there´s another Gideon book. I cant wait to read it and im glad i have the paperback cover to it. and great confusing ugh.... would you say its a mistory?
I feel like all the "will they / won't they" of Nesta and Cassian happened in ACOMAF and ACOWAR 👀 I would have been highly frustrated with ACOSF if they had kept waffling when they'd already been slow burning for multiple books.
I just can't understand why you love Robin Hobb so much. I read 6 books and I refuse to read the last 3. Fitz, the MAIN CHARACTER, is treated that badly, that I just want to scream. I hate that. I am depressed enough, I don't need help. I do have 2 friends who loved these books. Karin did tell me what happens in the end and I am glad I didn't do that to myself. But I did buy the Magic Ships and the Dragons series for her for her birthday. I do get people love these books, but I just don't get why. There is so much potential, the magic is so interesting. I love that animal magic, but the mind magic part reminds me of that part in Harry Potter where Snape tries to teach him Occlumency, but doesn't really succeed. Here Fitz doesn't really learn to control that part of magic and I hate that. I mean, that was interesting, but the author decided to ignore this part and put more weight on politics and on doing Fitz dirty. It is just so sad.
TO PEOPLE WHO READ SO MUCH, HOW DO THEY KEEP SO MUCH IN THEIR HEAD? I READ ONE BOOK AND AFTER 2 I NO LONGER REMEMBER MANY THINGS, THEY TAKE NOTES OR ARE PRIVILEGED WITH A GREAT MEMORY
The hair and outfit together like that are giving Chuckie (i'm so sorry it's all i could think of) thank you for another great wrap up
hahahah I've gotten this a few times!
Now I can't unsee it. 🤣
I’m here for it! 🔪😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
I feel like after completing the last book in the Fitz and the Fool trilogy you should do a whole dedicated video talking about Robin Hobb's books, I NEED to hear your every thought about every book/every series ♥
Please!!!! It’s my all time favourite series that not enough people talk about
Yes please!
I cannot WAIT for you to read Nona the Ninth. It's the least "confusing" of the three but still so fun. Harrow is probably my favorite in the series but Nona is fantastic too.
Once Upon A Broken Heart is one of my favorite series and I’m so happy you enjoyed it! I hope you enjoy Ballad Of Never After - that is one of my favorite books EVER. ❤️
I initially read Emily Wilde because of you but it was also my book clubs first ever pick! We decided on book 2 as our Feb book this year!
Harrow the Ninth is a mindf*** and I loved every minute of it. It took a chapter or two to adjust, but once I did I ate that book up. It still had moments that made me bust out laughing, moments that broke my heart, and moments that had my jaw drop.

I can’t wait to read the second Emily Wilde book! I’m either reading it in February or March as I got it as a birthday gift! I loved the first one! 😍

Yes. Absolutely agree with ACOSF. Exactly felt the same.

Just put the second Emily Wild book on hold. Excited to read it when it’s my turn.

There is an 80s cartoon The Last Unicorn. I absolutely loved it growing up. You should watch it. Just keep in mind it is 80's
If you liked emily wild i would HIGHLY recommend a natural history of dragons!!!! Same premise but w dragons in a victorian setting!
This has inspired me to reread the Locked Tomb series! I love it so much! It will be my fourth time reading Gideon the Ninth
I liked Two Twisted Crowns because I specifically like forest magic, but I didn’t understand the decision to add a new POV, especially since that character wasn’t particularly interesting in book one. It disrupted the momentum of the cliffhanger in the first book.
LOVE the Deep Sky!! One of my favorite books i read last year.
Because of the lighting, i initially misread the writing on the cushion as 'Mom Bod' instead of 'Homebody' 😂

Im hoping to get to Gideon in April! Im so excited for it
❤📚📚❤️. ADDED deep Sky to my list... Thank you!
BTW if Asuka is Japanese the u in her name is silent. It's read "aska". Likely the author got the name from the Evangelion character.
Love this!! Where did you get your flower lamp!?
I feel like all the "will they / won't they" of Nesta and Cassian happened in ACOMAF and ACOWAR 👀 I would have been highly frustrated with ACOSF if they had kept waffling when they'd already been slow burning for multiple books.
I’ve read all but the deep sky!
I would read 10 books of Emily and Bamblebee
Hiiiii You look amazing 😍😍😍 btw did you do a December wrap up?
Can you recommend me sore dark fantasy that has a sort of Tim Burton-like vibes?
Please read or review more Juliet Marillier Books
Well now I’m confused. I pronounced Asuka as oss-kuh (thank you WWE) 😂
I loved the first two books in the ACOTAR series but I'm with you and didn't love the rest of them
Hii do you have any book recs that are great buut also have smut 😅
I just can't understand why you love Robin Hobb so much. I read 6 books and I refuse to read the last 3. Fitz, the MAIN CHARACTER, is treated that badly, that I just want to scream. I hate that. I am depressed enough, I don't need help. I do have 2 friends who loved these books. Karin did tell me what happens in the end and I am glad I didn't do that to myself. But I did buy the Magic Ships and the Dragons series for her for her birthday. I do get people love these books, but I just don't get why. There is so much potential, the magic is so interesting.

Did her outfit also remind anyone else of Chucky 😆 #trauma 😆
TO PEOPLE WHO READ SO MUCH, HOW DO THEY KEEP SO MUCH IN THEIR HEAD? I READ ONE BOOK AND AFTER 2 I NO LONGER REMEMBER MANY THINGS, THEY TAKE NOTES OR ARE PRIVILEGED WITH A GREAT MEMORY
does anyone know where to buy these versions of the once upon a broken heart trilogy where they all have the same cover?? pls i beg
It’s the uk edition
Heyy please try BOOK OF NIGHT BY HOLLY BLACK !!
I really need someone to talk about this book 😭
I've read it and have a reading vlog about!

Love your contents 😍
i want to love the OUABH books but the first one was not great imo 😩😭
Has anyone read Steven Demogorgon?
Why are you dressed like Farmer Ted?
I love once upon a a broken heart trilogy 🥹
I completed The Fitz and Fool trilogy this month! Needless to say it destroyed me in the best way possible 🥹. Thank you for recommending Robin Hobb! ❤
