    Strange the Dreamer is on everyone's favourite list because it's SO GOOD. Everyone go read it.

      It’s a just a stand alone right?? No need to read any other books by laini Taylor??

    • @thewriterscrown5239
      @thewriterscrown5239 7 років тому

      No need to read other books first :) But a sequel for it is coming out in the future

      I liked it but the end was a little anti-climactic

    victoria shwab i'm currently reading darker shade of magic and think am going to be reading it really quickly, then three dark crowns is going to be after that! i shouldn't start series when i have still got to finish mortal instruments. I always start series and then have too many to read! Just read the raven cycle book one as well lol

    @Jamhands9 7 років тому +2

    I’m glad you like Invictus too! I’m surprised I haven’t heard more people talk about it. I thought it was great.
    Love Illuminae and Gemina, but Illuminae was definitely better to me as well. Cannot wait for Obsidio.

    • @Bookables
      @Bookables  7 років тому +1

      Me as well! so soon!

    My favorite book I read this year was To Kill A Mocking Bird. Just such a classic read and I can't believe I didn't read it until last year. I'm not sure if I want to read the second book though.

    • @Bookables
      @Bookables  7 років тому

      Oh I still have to read it!

  • @alexalovesbooks
    @alexalovesbooks 7 років тому +1

    I’ve never read any Celeste Ng, but I definitely want to try and read her books this year because I’ve heard so much about them!
    Same goes for the ADSOM series. I have the entire thing so hopefully I can binge it this year!

    • @Bookables
      @Bookables  7 років тому

      Yes I binged it!! So, so good!!!

  • @anyaconda3155
    @anyaconda3155 7 років тому +1

    I usually don't read a lot of chick-lit, but I got "The Hating Game" and "My not so perfect life". I am looking forward to dive more into this genre :)
    My favorite books this year were: And I Darken & Now I Rise from Kiersten White, Scythe by Neal Shusterman and Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare

    • @Bookables

    My favorite book of 2017 was without a doubt The Raven Boys, I just loved the atmosphere of that book so much and I can't wait to continue with the serie ! Renegades, A Savage Song and Illuminae are some of the books I want to read in 2018, they seem so interresting ! I'm about to read A Darker Shade of Magic and I'm excited ^^
    I love your personality and how you talk about books :) You're one of my favorite Booktubers !
    I hope you will have a lovely year !

    • @Bookables

    I loved Strange the Dreamer. Its a book that I read maybe 6 months ago and I still cant stop thinking about it. I love books that stay in your memory long after you read them. Its magical.

  • @juliehaynie6637
    @juliehaynie6637 7 років тому

    I just started reading sci-fi this year with the Expanse series and Illuminae. They are by far my favorite books this year. TDSOM would be my third favorite. I can't wait to read Warcross and Invictus. I'd love to see what you think of the Expanse series. If you get a chance I recommend the audiobooks. They are well done.

    • @Bookables
      @Bookables  7 років тому

  • @margarets2924
    @margarets2924 7 років тому

    I’ve started Our Dark Duet. It is a good duopoly. I have A Darker Shade of Magic to read. Have you seen the Darker Shade of Magic special editions? They have dust jackets that go with the London’s. I got the grey one from Barnes & Noble. I think you can get the black one on amazon.

    • @Bookables
      @Bookables  7 років тому

    @danecobain 7 років тому +1

    I bought Illuminae last month and have yet to read it but I'm planning on reading it near the end of this month ish. It's a good sign that you included it in your best books of 2017 :D

    • @Bookables

    How do you get to read so much with a little one at home? That's my struggle, trying to find time to read with a toddler...

    • @Bookables
      @Bookables  6 років тому +2

      I understand! I read the most when he's goes to bed at night. I try to read for a least 30 minutes at night everyday, and audiobooks!! those are my top 2 tips!

    If you like Sophie Kinsella you should try Catherine Alliott. She's my favourite chick lit author, her books are hilarious. Also the daughter of smoke and bone trilogy by Laini Taylor is soooooo good!! 😍 Can't wait to read Strange The Dreamer

  • @stephr2433

    Yay I've been waiting for this!!! My favorite thing that I read this year was The Raven Cycle.

  • @scrollsofdragons362
    @scrollsofdragons362 7 років тому

    A Conjuring of Light was my second fave of the year only because I never included Harry Potter in a faves of the year before so the third one got top spot. I loved Warcross but didn't quite make it to my faves list. Others are: Crooked Kingdom, The Twenty-Three (Promise Falls) and The Savage Dawn (Girl at midnight) which were all great series enders. Standalones Highly Illogical Behaviour and Boys dont Cry. Series starters The Wizards of Once and The Father.

    • @abbey9030
      @abbey9030 7 років тому

      Also should I continue on with the Throne of Glass series? I read up to the 4th but I just stopped because I was in a reading slump.. now I'm just not sure if it is worth going on

    • @Bookables
      @Bookables  7 років тому

      It's so beautiful!

    • @Bookables
      @Bookables  7 років тому

      Honestly I'd say push through because you've read more than half and only have 3 more books lol. I didnt like the 5th one that much but the 6th one was amazing

  • @emmaclark6965

    @chelseakerns7058 7 років тому

    I think I loved Far From the Tree, Lord of Shadows and It equally. I also really liked Renegades but it wasn't one of my favorites. I'm really looking forward to the sequel.

  • @moonstone-dreamer6512
    @moonstone-dreamer6512 7 років тому

    if your new to adult fantasy try reading lord of the rings. Its very long but so good, and game of thrones! I have only read two books of game of thrones though. And Outlander! I love fantasy and time travel

      I have! goodreads will list every translation of a book or edition which is why is says 70 books im guessing lol

  • @c.d.6736
    @c.d.6736 7 років тому +1

    I wonder if it's possible to not like The Hating Game honestly. I think even if you're not a fan of romance you can still like it because most of the book, imo, is about hating and fighting with a colleague and the psychology behind it. I loved the professional background and the characters' background. It's soooo good omg and I can't wait for Sally Thorne's next book 🎉

  • @pinksuperstar2
    @pinksuperstar2 7 років тому

    Wonder Woman Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo. sooooooo fucking good.
    Strange the Dreamer
    The Song of Achilles
    The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue
    The Inexplicable Logic of My Life
    Eliza and her monsters
    The Princess Saves herself in this one
    The Sun is Also A Star

    • @fangirlk6610
      @fangirlk6610 7 років тому

      Abby Wonder whatever you read, do not start off with the Dark Artifices series. TDA builds off of her previous books. The best way to read the books are in publication order, or in chronological order.
