If you’re interested in English royalty one of the best authors I can recommend for non fiction is Alison Weir. She is mostly the Tudor era but she has done few others as well. She looks at history mostly through the eyes of women rather than their more famous husbands. She’s really easy to read too x
Parents are always the best. You are so lucky to be so spoiled. The books all sound so good. I don't read a ton of historical fiction, but anything to do with royalty is always great.
I read Austenland for my Pride and Prejudice Adaptations class. It was a lot of fun and enjoyed it a lot. Also, it was made into a movie with Jennifer Coolidge and it was a really good too!
Girl, any Kate Morton book will definitely satisfy your cravings for a good historical fiction- mystery-romance story. My favorite historical fiction author by leaps and bounds! Sending love from South Africa x
Hi . I’m ordering eleven books tomorrow. Can’t wait . I love books and got loads . And I love your videos. And the way you talk about books. Your looking very beautiful xx🌹
I absolutely love the Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton it's one of my all time favorite books!!!! Also I can't wait to hear what you think of the muse because I really wanna read that one!
AGHHHI!!!! Charlotte's Web was the first novel I ever read when I was 6! So happy you have it now! And happy you got the same version I read lol. Also, I was going through my book shelves the other day because I was donating some books and came across my Winnie the pooh book and it hit me right in the childhood feels
Haha I’m currently in AP European History and this week we started learning about the French Revolution an era that I’m not too familiar with as an American high school student but I’ve just been introduced to Marie Antoinette I want to definitely-I pick up that book to learn more
Great Video! I got so many amazing books for Christmas (including The Book Thief, Six of Cross, The Raven Boys and The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender)
Oh my gosh Kate Morton is my favorite author!! The Forgotten Garden is my favorite but The House At Riverton comes in a close second! They are both tied for my second favorite book of all-time. They used to be tied for number one, but I realized I had to make The Bell Jar number one. Hope you like it!!!
As an addition to The Fortune Hunter and the Accidental Princess, if you're interested, you could check up the old Sissi movies with Romy Schneider (she also was in another movie where she played Queen Victoria). They're kind of cheesy, but enjoyable and a classic to watch in Christmas season. I loved them as a kid, still do, and have always been interested in her life. Gotta be aware though that they are not historically accurate. There are so many myths surrounding her, her life got kind of romantizised, when it seemed to have been pretty tragic actually. I've been to Vienna in summer and visited the Sissi museum there, it was really interesting e.g. you could read some of her poetry and see the reeeally thin waisted dresses she wore in person. I'm curious what you say about the books after reading them or about the movies if you watch them!
For some reason I'm also super interested about the Brontë sisters even though I've only read Wuthering Heights. I have Charlotte's and Anne's books though.
If you’re looking for more children’s books to read, I recommend anything by Sharon Creech. Her books were my favorites when I was 10-12, especially Chasing Redbird, Ruby Holler, and Absolutely Normal Chaos.
Sorry for commenting so much. Please keep us updated on how you're liking branching out with your reading. I really think it would help others because so many people are stuck in their ways about what kind of books they like. Nothing wrong with that but it's nice when people discover a love for new things 😊
I really want to read Austenland! I saw the movie a while ago (before I realized it was a book too) and I really liked it, so I am looking forward to checking out the book and the sequel soon. -emma
Oh Hailey, please read The Muse! It's SO GOOD! I read it last year in a day and i never she up about it, it was soooo good. I liked The Miniaturist ok too, but it was a bit all over the place - The Muse is just so... Please read it 😁
Every time I think of Winnie the Pooh now, I can only think of that one part of Jane, Unlimited. It's like a thing that changes your whole childhood feel about things. Haha.
Sisi /Empress Elisabeth is a really interesting character! I also want to read the book by Daisy Goodwin, I hope it portrays her in a good way and not to cheesy. She actually had a rather dark character
Hailey I think you would really enjoy Outlander by Diana Gabaldon! It has fantasy, history, and romance among other things, and the whole series is completely addicting
Loved the haul! All of the books sound amazing! I just wanted to point out that Sissi is pronounced a bit differently: You said it like See-see but it's more like sis so like the abbreviation of sister and and then the 2nd i is pronounced like a short e and the first syllable is emphasized
If you're interested in more Queen Victoria movies, "The Young Victoria," is AMAZING!!! It's on Netflix and it's written by Julian Fellowes who created Downton Abbey (so you know it's good).
if you have read the book 'The Accidental Empress' you should read the 2nd book of Allison Pataki about Empress Elisabeth which is called 'Sissi: Empress On Her Own'
At first I was wondering who you meant by "Cece" until I realized you were talking about Sisi. I only know the name with the first syllable pronounced shortly as it is an nickname for Elizabeth and can be compared to how you'd pronounce Lissy :D (although the emphasis is definitely on the first syllable... Gosh German is my mother tongue, it's my major but nevertheless I'm confused about it right now😅) to come to a point, I find it rather amusing hearing a well-known name pronounced totally different 😁
I only got 1 book this Christmas, it's the least amount I've gotten EVER. But I have run out of room on my bookshelves, so that's potentially a good thing?? I've read Victoria! It was interesting to see her as a young woman because she's often portrayed when she was older and a lot more stern. "We are not amused" and all that.
Love your Videos. Me: 😲😲Christmas 🎄. Isn't it was last year?? 😈😈 Inner me: Still, Another interesting video by Hailey. Anyways, Forget it. Let's enjoy the video. 💙💜💚
OMG YOU BOUGHT A KATE MORTON BOOK. I'm definitely more of a ya gal but she's my go to adult author. The forgotten garden wasn't my favourite so if you don't like it please be sure to read The Lake House and/or The Secret Keeper!!!
Amazing video 😄😍 definitely gonna put some of these books on my TBR Just how you said Sissi makes me cringeee sorry 🙈🙈 the ss (sometimes only one s) in the middle is stressed... Or rathe rnot like si si but siss oli Hard to explaine somehow Native speaker here
If you are interested in sissi, there are 3 movies about her life as empress. They are in German, but maybe you can find them with english subtitels. The movies are sissi, sissi die junge kaiserin and sissi schicksalsjahre einer kaiserin. I love these movies. You can find these movies on UA-cam in German .
I am always so jealous to see people recieve these books from bookoutlet in such good condition. I am ready to give up on bookoutlet myself, as every book I ever order comes to me damaged and crushed. It is so incredibly frustrating.
Ok, please can someone explain why American/Canadian book covers have a bit missing from the right side (on paperbacks)?? ~I’m from the UK and I’ve never seen book cover formats (?) like that before...... does it mean something??? 0_0 E.g. 8:39 , 9:43 , 10:09
That's how some paperbacks are made. The part them seems like its missing some is put on top of another cover usually a solid color, picture, or words.
Have you ever read The Diary of a young girl by Anne Frank? But it’s a non fiction set during WW2 and a true story. I’d defiantly recommend it! Great haul!
I'm so ashamed to say that I found her diary boring and I have never finished reading it but I do own it and I'm planning on reading it again in the future. But like it's ten times worse because I'm dutch, I've been to the anne frank house twice or even 3 times & I went to a play about her😅
I'm a 24 year old guy, and I'm not ashamed to admit that Winnie the Pooh taught me how to love. Also, I just remembered that the librarian that suggested Bucking the Sarge to me spoiled the climax. It's a good book, but the ending had less punch because of it. It was years ago, but I'm still upset.
I want to read more adult and I'm actually reading it by Stephen king and I'm loving it so much. Highly recommend it. But I want to read more adult horror
Hello, I am new to your channel and after watching a few videos I am curious if you have read "Cathy's Book" by Stewart/ Weisman/ Brigg. It is set up as a teenage girls diary and has evidence to accompany her story. It is a really interesting mystery.
"No views"
*fist pump*
My favorite booktuber with more content! Love this channel so much!!!!
Working at a bookstore.... employee discount... yessssss. My dream. Hahaha. Enjoy your new books! Thumbelina!!! I used to love that film as a kid!!!

She looks at history mostly through the eyes of women rather than their more famous husbands. She’s really easy to read too x
I loved The Forgotten Garden!! I found it had the right balance between elements I could guess and elements I couldn't. It's a lovely story.
Accidental Empress is one of my favorite books of all time! I really hope you'll enjoy it!
The Smell of Other People's Houses is soo good! One of my favorite reads of last year!
Parents are always the best. You are so lucky to be so spoiled. The books all sound so good. I don't read a ton of historical fiction, but anything to do with royalty is always great.

Oh I can't tell you how much I love Empress Sissi, you should check out the movies!

Love Charlottes web!!! So glad you are going to read it. I really enjoyed the smell of others people's house!!
Great Video! I got so many amazing books for Christmas (including The Book Thief, Six of Cross, The Raven Boys and The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender)
randomgal xxx you're going to love and cry a ton to "the book thief"
William Francisco yup. O've already read it and it was heartbreaking but soooo gold😍😭
Reawakened and This Monsterous Thing were both really good. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did
reawakened looks really good
Oh my gosh Kate Morton is my favorite author!! The Forgotten Garden is my favorite but The House At Riverton comes in a close second! They are both tied for my second favorite book of all-time.

You just reminded me of my childhood love for the Sisi movies (that I really need to rewatch). Interested to hear your thoughts on both those books!
I'm reading Reawakened right now and it's so good so far!😍
I loved The Smell of Other People's Houses!
For some reason I'm also super interested about the Brontë sisters even though I've only read Wuthering Heights. I have Charlotte's and Anne's books though.

Ooh that alice in wonderland book looks so interesting!!
The Victoria TV show is so good!!
THE MUSE IS SO PRETTY
This Monstrous Thing by Mackenzi Lee is an amazing book! You need to read it asap, it was one of my top books of 2017. 5 star read :)
I love your channel! Can you please make a video about fairytale retellings
Love from Belgium ❤️❤️❤️
Mari Lotta yay Belgium :D
Best idea ever! :D And always nice to see more readers from Belgium ^_^
Sisi /Empress Elisabeth is a really interesting character! I also want to read the book by Daisy Goodwin, I hope it portrays her in a good way and not to cheesy. She actually had a rather dark character
I got so excited when i see that you have uploaded a new video😂❤️😍
If We Were Villians, is really good it's not a Hamlet retelling but about a mystery students studying Shakespeare. Hope you enjoy it!
Hailey I think you would really enjoy Outlander by Diana Gabaldon! It has fantasy, history, and romance among other things, and the whole series is completely addicting
I love this tbr because my goal this year is to read more broadly too!
Hope you enjoy Victoria! I love the tv show. The book was actually written after the tv show, I think...
Hi Hailey :) Sisi (both syllable pronounced shortly) was actually Austrian Empress. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empress_Elisabeth_of_Austria
One of your best hauls! I got so many recommendations from it! I'm for sure going to check out Shannon Hale
A bajillion more books to add to my tbr, thanks Hailey 😍
You should try a court of fives! I just finished it and can't wait to start the sequel
the muse is SO good (:
GURL. You have to watched the Austenland movie. It’s sooooo good!!
I really want to read Victoria because I love the series sooo much😄
Forgotten Garden!!! Everything by Kate Morton is amazing!!!
❤ love your videos.
I am jealous that you get books as gifts.
I want austenland myself. Jane Austen is my favorite classic author.
Loved the haul! All of the books sound amazing! I just wanted to point out that Sissi is pronounced a bit differently: You said it like See-see but it's more like sis so like the abbreviation of sister and and then the 2nd i is pronounced like a short e and the first syllable is emphasized
I just saw the Austenland movie! I didn't know there was a book, or I would have read it first haha oh well....
Charlottes web was one of my favourites growing up!!
I loved Charlotte's Web as a kid. Hope you enjoy it too.
YES HAILS! THIS IS EHAT I NEED TO GET MOTIVATED TO READ :)
If you're interested in more Queen Victoria movies, "The Young Victoria," is AMAZING!!! It's on Netflix and it's written by Julian Fellowes who created Downton Abbey (so you know it's good).
Omg I LOVE books by kate morton
I want that Alice! 🍄
This video is so late, Christmas was *last* year... 😂😂
if you have read the book 'The Accidental Empress' you should read the 2nd book of Allison Pataki about Empress Elisabeth which is called 'Sissi: Empress On Her Own'
lover of this channel ya you are amazing
I saw the Alice decoded book on bookoutlet and wondered if you saw it on there! Of course, you did. :)
At first I was wondering who you meant by "Cece" until I realized you were talking about Sisi. I only know the name with the first syllable pronounced shortly as it is an nickname for Elizabeth and can be compared to how you'd pronounce Lissy :D (although the emphasis is definitely on the first syllable...

I've read Victoria! It was interesting to see her as a young woman because she's often portrayed when she was older and a lot more stern. "We are not amused" and all that.
Love your videos!!
I didn't really enjoy reading Charlotte's Web. Christmas is great for books! I got to expand my Harry Potter collection :D
Love your Videos.
Me: 😲😲Christmas 🎄.
Isn't it was last year??
😈😈
Inner me: Still, Another interesting video by Hailey. Anyways, Forget it. Let's enjoy the video. 💙💜💚
OMG YOU BOUGHT A KATE MORTON BOOK. I'm definitely more of a ya gal but she's my go to adult author. The forgotten garden wasn't my favourite so if you don't like it please be sure to read The Lake House and/or The Secret Keeper!!!

I think you’d like the Dubh Linn series by Ruth Frances Long!
Amazing video 😄😍 definitely gonna put some of these books on my TBR
Just how you said Sissi makes me cringeee sorry 🙈🙈 the ss (sometimes only one s) in the middle is stressed...
Or rathe rnot like si si but siss oli
Hard to explaine somehow
Native speaker here
i really love the mad woman upstair

The movies are sissi, sissi die junge kaiserin and sissi schicksalsjahre einer kaiserin. I love these movies. You can find these movies on UA-cam in German .
You need to watch the TV show Victoria. It’s so good
As an Austrian I feel like I have to say this: Empress Sissi. I mean she was a princess before but she is always referred to as empress.
I am currently reading If We Were Villains and it is amazing! I think you would like it.
Since you like Historical fantasy try how Charlsie Russle. She is a good writer.
I am always so jealous to see people recieve these books from bookoutlet in such good condition. I am ready to give up on bookoutlet myself, as every book I ever order comes to me damaged and crushed. It is so incredibly frustrating.
Books!! 💃🏼📚📚📚
nave you read water for elephants? Or seen the film? The film is good i need to read the book
If you like the French Revolution have you tried Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly?
Ok, please can someone explain why American/Canadian book covers have a bit missing from the right side (on paperbacks)??
~I’m from the UK and I’ve never seen book cover formats (?) like that before...... does it mean something??? 0_0

Great haul
Have you ever read The Diary of a young girl by Anne Frank? But it’s a non fiction set during WW2 and a true story. I’d defiantly recommend it! Great haul!
xxsatinangelxx that book was beautiful! Cry every time!
Cooper Sanders I’ve only managed to get through it once because it was so emotional. I should defiantly read it again at some point!
I'm so ashamed to say that I found her diary boring and I have never finished reading it but I do own it and I'm planning on reading it again in the future. But like it's ten times worse because I'm dutch, I've been to the anne frank house twice or even 3 times & I went to a play about her😅

Soo cool books
