    You were probably burnt out from 2016 and that's what made 2017 hard. Makes sense. :)

    Every time I watch your videos I want to read all of the books you talk about! You get me so motivated!

    Strange the Dreamer was amazing. I have no words.

    A lot of people seemed to be in a reading and filming slump, myself included, in November and December... I recently came back to Booktube and reading and enjoying it again! Glad to see a new video from my favourite booktuber ^_^

    I'm currently re-reading Carry On, it's one of my absolute favourites! 😏

    The Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy by Laini Taylor is AMAZING. I listened to audiobook. The narration and her accents are so fantastic. The story and dialogue between characters is just phenomenal. I haven't read Strange the Dreamer yet, but looking forward to it!

    • @littlebookowl
      @littlebookowl  6 років тому

      I'm so glad you enjoyed the audio! I might consider listening to the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy :)

  • @vavila16
    @vavila16 6 років тому +1

    The most vivid for me were the chapters with Kvothe and the felurian 😉 in the Wise Man's Fear. A book that made me cry was The Fate of the Tearling and Night Circus

  • @MichaelAlthauser
    @MichaelAlthauser 6 років тому

    I grabbed Red Rising as a Christmas gift for my wife based purely on your recommendation from an earlier video! Also looking forward to reading it once she's done with it...

    i also loved the Red rising series so much! read the first two in a couple of days each, when I was totally overwhelmed by exams and stuff actually :)) I am eagerly waiting for the 3rd book to come to my bestie's house since i borrowed the first two from him, keeping up the tradition

  • @maddisonjon1

    After reading Nevernight and Red Rising in 2017 and loving them I'm definitely going to read Strange the Dreamer this year! I love your book recommendations 💜📚

    My couple-of-the-year award goes to Mister Kindly and Eclipse. Can I get a spin-off with those two? Or a short story? Pretty please?
    Strange the Dreamer’s poetic language and unique story left a hole in my soul - and let’s not forget the narrator of the audiobook... I would listen to anything Steve West reads...

    • @littlebookowl
      @littlebookowl  6 років тому

      I would die if we got a spin-off of Mister Kindly and Eclipse! That would be amazing!

  • @BeckywiseTheDancingClown
    @BeckywiseTheDancingClown 6 років тому +1

    Godsgrave and Nevernight were the highlight of 2017 for me. Then I got my husband into them who never reads and he couldn’t put them down. I can’t wait for the third and final book!

    • @littlebookowl
      @littlebookowl  6 років тому +1

      I am working on my partner, but he doesn't seem interested in reading the books :( One day...
      So glad you've loved the series!

    • @BeckywiseTheDancingClown

  • @evareads2817
    @evareads2817 6 років тому

    I REALLY want to read Carry On!:D And I don't know if I want to read Strange the Dreamer or not... I LOVED Moxie and the message of it^^ And yeah the end of TBDATE is really sad:(

  • @kayleebowman608
    @kayleebowman608 6 років тому

    I got strange the dreamer for Christmas, however I am very hesitant about Reading it. I am VERY picky with writing styles and I’m scared from what I’ve heard about Lani That I won’t like it 😕 But fingers crossed I’ll be wrong and love it!

  • @wordswildflowers8048
    @wordswildflowers8048 6 років тому +1

    I felt a little bit the same about Carry On! I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t my favorite Rainbow Rowell. I think I had very high expectations - so it’s my own fault 😂

  • @jazzescrapper
    @jazzescrapper 6 років тому

    I love your content :) your channel is fun and I love how easy going you are and not over the top. I dislike review videos so SO much but I realize you may not have a choice to do them. I love reading vlogs so much and just discovered them and I'm hooked...lol...weird I know. Anyway I can't wait to see the fun stuff you come up with in 2018

  • @RonitGhosh

    I swore it was you who had read Daughter of Smoke and Bone since I was shamelessly marathoning some of your older videos but maybe I got your readings mixed up with Regan’s 😂

    I picked and chose some questions for my 2017 Review blog: scribbledinks.blogspot.com/2017/12/2017-year-in-review.html
    I hope to get to Strange the Dreamer at some point this year.

    Are you accepting ARCs from yet unknown authors? Do you have any rules in receiving those?

    • @littlebookowl
      @littlebookowl  6 років тому +2

      Unfortunately I don't have requests open at the moment! I receive some books unsolicited from publishers, and I occasionally request a title myself, but things have been so overwhelming with uni that I haven't wanted to add more pressure and stress.

    • @2DSimping
      @2DSimping 6 років тому

      You have such an interesting book life. Did you ever think about doing videos focused on your work environment? I think that would be really cool and helpful for those of us who would like to get into publishing one day. And will there be another Q&A video?
      PS: is there a way to find out when you re-open requests again? I would love to know your thoughts on my novel, it's not published yet, but I'm still searching for a literary agent. So I'm really eager to get some feedback, that's why I would love to know where, how and when you accept requests again ^^
      PPS: I'm sorry if I'm being annoying, I just can't believe you answered! You one of most favourite booktubers, so I'm really pumped :D

    • @littlebookowl
      @littlebookowl  6 років тому +1

      I do have a plan to post a Q&A video talking about working in publishing, so if there are any specific questions feel free to send my way! I mentioned doing this back when I started, but I wanted to wait a while before doing it so I have a little more experience and knowledge of the industry :)
      I will update this page on my blog when requests are open: www.littlebookowl.com/p/review-policy.html
      And not at all! I really appreciate the request :)

    • @2DSimping
      @2DSimping 6 років тому

      Wow! Thanks you so much! Do I send the questions to your email or on twitter? =)
