11/22/63 is always my go-to recommendation for anyone whose tastes I don’t know! Everyone loves that book and it’s one of my favorite books of all time!
@@hammadansari4840the show was trash. Especially compared to the book. They added and subtracted things that weren’t in the book. Highly recommend reading it
AJ FIKRY is the type of story that when you finish it you just have to sit back for a minute and think to yourself - “I am so glad I am a reader.” 😊 And if my TBR list wasn’t so massive at this point😉 it is definitely due for a reread one of these days…😍📚
I read 11/22/63 when it released in 2011. It stuck with me over the years and I was pretty excited to watch the show when it was released. I recently read it again and it never gets old, about to rewatch the show again! Billy Summers is probably my third favorite, second being IT. I'm glad she knows her books and took a chance on King. I also read all the Red rising books a few years ago and just waiting on the last one to come out! Keep the content coming!
Books: 1. Red Rising by Pierce Brown 2. Billy Summers by Stephen King 3. 11/22/63 by Stephen King 4. The Storied life of A.J. Fikrey by Gabrielle Zevin
@@Makaneek5060it absolutely does. It’s crazy think back to red rising because it really only scraped the surface in terms of characters, world-building, and story. Especially as you move into the second trilogy
@@kameryngreer3098 All right, that sounds promising. What I like about good fiction is when a ton of elements about the world connect together in surprising but sensible ways, like how the one ring makes you visible to the Nazgul, and how the spice likewise is a powerful tool and a crutch.
@@Makaneek5060 I honestly think you’d enjoy it if you continued, then. There were so many “ohhh, shit” moments for me when I first read through. It’s definitely not for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed its complexity
Ngl I used to watch you allll the time up until around shortly after your wedding when you slowly started to become a full on booktuber and I’ve lost the inspiration to read (I was a book junkie growing up, even my English teacher would complain about it), so I stopped watching. Now that I’m mustering up the courage to try to get back into it and defeat my laziness, it’s so perfect to come back and watch you again. Thank you Haley, ily and I can’t wait for my reading journey to begin again 🤟🏾💜
My husband asked me to read a book and let him know if he’d like it. It’s marketed as time travel but maybe not the kind of sci-fi he’d like. So I’m reading “this is how you lose the time war.”
Yeah I am a guy and it was okay. It’s not really a science fiction (don’t mean it derogatory) but a quirky romance set in vaguely science fiction setting.
Can you please do book recommendations for 13 year old girls please!!!? I need help finding (an appropriate for my age) fantasy or mystery book to lose myself in!!!!!
I'm a guy and I bought the storied life of AJ fikry two days ago. I finished it today. It's helping me go through a tough time and I wouldn't have found out about it if I hadn't seen this video. Thank you! I know I wouldn't have liked it a year ago but sometimes books find you at the right time.
I have a recommendation!! White Bird by R J Palacio who is also an author of Wonder. White bird is a story of a grandma who tells her grandson her story. It’s about 1940-1950 in France when h*tl3r was taken over a lot of countries. Also it has a movie! It’s suuuper good!! I highly recommend it
i've got a book recommendation for you haley! :) it's white bird by the same author of wonder, it's the story of julian's grandmother during world war, i read it a while back and i always cry aha, it's comic style so you could probably read it in one sitting, happy reading! xx
“All Systems Red” by Martha Wells has been a go to recommendation for everyone for me. It’s really short, so it’s not too overwhelming, and if you DO like it and want the option to read more it’s part of a big series. So you can read the one book pretty quick and decide if you want to keep going without having to commit to a 500 page book before deciding.
My personal fav -Louis L'Amour Lando(a great novel of the magnificent sackett family) -Tom Hardy (far from the maddening crowd) I remember as a kid i used to read them all the time
I always hated reading, i failed English in highschool twice, just could not give a care in the world for it. That being said, there is not one Stephen King book i haven't read. The stand and It was tough for me to stay committed, and TDT wizard and glass was just a tough one over all, but Stephen King did what 13 years of school could not, taught me to enjoy reading
I LOVE 11/22/63, it was the 2nd or 3rd Stephen King book I read, and I just let my friend borrow it a month or two ago and she said that she loved it as well so GOOD SUGGESTION
Just finished A.J Fikry, 1st, thank you for your recommendations.. honestly I have a new love for the way books have awaken emotions that have laid dormant for me for a while.. this book was the first book I’ve read in a very long time… still in my feels lol but it’s happy sad tears.. anyways thank you. Will be reading another of your recommendations soon.
I mean the vast majority of literature was, unfortunately, written for and by men, if a dude doesn't find a book to read it's not for a lack of opportunities 😅
I love how unlike other booktokers or booktubers, you actually read and give us recommendations. I’ve been new to all of this and I usually see crisp books being recommended by many, which i assume are not read by them and somehow they give us a review about how the book is. Soo thankssss ✨
I’ve never been able to get in to books about just stories. It’s always gotta be some sort of self improvement book lol (because I’m lagging so far behind in life)😅
Tons of books out there. Even fantasy can help you out. Avatar the last Airbender replaced my need for therapy later in life basically lmao. Brandon sandersons fantasy stories are amazing. They're badass and about broken people saving the world.
@@JaredPalmerVlogsI mean it definitely teaches the dangers of not having healthy boundaries and the failure to understand what proper BDSM relationships are all about. The more you know 🌈
Other book recommendations: Harry Potter Keeper of the lost cities The giver (a classic) Out of my mind I have many more, but there are some books that are just not coming to my head
This video inspired me to start 11/22/63 and fast forward a week…..I absolutely loved it! ‘I had never been what you’d call a crying man…’ or reading man either but woah did that change that. First book I’ve read in my adult life and I’m excited to read more
11.22.63 is the reason I read. Never could get myself to read in school (when I was supposed to) ordered it promised myself I’d finish it. Reading became my new fav hobby.
I always recommend Mathew Reilly books to guys trying to read again. His fast paced novels are super easy to fly through and are more "fun" books to read
My recs: I Am Legend- short read. Kinda horror, kinda not, post apocalyptic, but the main character is just a guy trying his best to survive. The Flower War - a little longer, standalone, incredibly well written adult urban fantasy Altered Carbon - better than the tv show by an order of magnitude Aurora Rising - sci-fi space opera but also kind of a crime novel?
Thanks for the recommendations! I’m gonna try Red Rising because I really want more books to read! (I have to many but who cares!) I’ve already downloaded a sample to read later.
11/22/63 is an amazing book. It’s more than just time travel and saving JFK. I almost never read fiction, but I loved that book so much and remember reading it when I was 17.
I wish this series would go viral on tiktok instead of the absolute trash that goes viral for no reason. This book is SO GOOD: love the character, love the plot, love the dynamics 😭 wish more people would read this
I had to do a book report for one of my English classes in college about a book dealing with history. I chose 11/22/63 having already read it before and it was the best 70+ page report I've ever done
How satisfying it is that all these books match in colors ✨
literally my first thought
looks like she likes red…….hmmmmm
I love books with pretty covers, they make me want to read them more
yeah know right
u
11/22/63 is always my go-to recommendation for anyone whose tastes I don’t know! Everyone loves that book and it’s one of my favorite books of all time!
The ending is incredible, which is pretty unusual for King novels, but it is because it was actually written by his son lol
I've watched the TV series of 11.22.63 it was decent can't say the same about the book.
@@hammadansari4840the show was trash. Especially compared to the book. They added and subtracted things that weren’t in the book. Highly recommend reading it
@@PancakesforEveryoneCmon guys, the show wasn’t THAT bad.
Same. I do a reread (or relisten on audible) at least every few years.
AJ Fickry was so great.
I also just finished Love on the Brain and loved that too.
Same love on the brain is soooooooooooooo good‼️
I finished Love on the Brain yesterday
AJ Fikry’s book tore me apart :’(
AJ FIKRY is the type of story that when you finish it you just have to sit back for a minute and think to yourself - “I am so glad I am a reader.” 😊 And if my TBR list wasn’t so massive at this point😉 it is definitely due for a reread one of these days…😍📚
The storied life description?
I recommend, “Goosebumps: Attack of The Jack - O - Lanterns.” The Halloween atmosphere, and the characters are all great. Give it a try.
A kids book 😂
All of them are amazing and memorable
Goosebumps the scarecrow walks at midnight was my favorite growing up.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
An absolute classic...
Billy Summers was absolutely phenomenal
Yessss Red Rising! I always also recommend The Martian by Andy Weir and Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.
Loved the Martian
Hail Mary is also a great read!
i loved ready player one. I'm now reading ready player two!!
and I got the 6 books of dunes but I'm scared to start reading them
@@pzt People hate on ready player two but don't let if affect your opinion - I personally loved it
Ur book recommendations are always so good!
Haley, TYSM for this. I will recommend these to my husband.❤
I love how all the covers have red on it
Red rising is amazingggg, love that that is the first book rec!
Next can you do books for the summer!!!
Great idea!
Agreed
IT
11/22/63, for how big the book is, was one of the fastest reads I've ever experienced. Great recommendation! I'll definitely check out Bill Summers.
Love the book reviews but girly your skin is glowing DROP THE SKINCARE ROUTINE ✨✨✨

When you said “a guy,” I was full on expecting Ryan and then I just see that random (not actually random) dude 😂
Yeah uh WAT
its ryans friend
Thank you! I’ve been needing books for awhile I’m just starting to read because of your content and I want to read again
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! YOU MOTIVATE ME TO READ MORE!! ❤❤
omg i read 11/22/63 back in january and it was SO GOOD, im so glad someones finally talking about it on booktube!!
Books:
1. Red Rising by Pierce Brown
2. Billy Summers by Stephen King
3. 11/22/63 by Stephen King
4. The Storied life of A.J. Fikrey by Gabrielle Zevin
thank you 🙏🏾
Saw red rising in the video you first mentioned it & it took over my life for a month. On book 4
I had mixed feelings about book 1 but if the worldbuilding gets more interconnected later I'd try the rest.
@@Makaneek5060it absolutely does. It’s crazy think back to red rising because it really only scraped the surface in terms of characters, world-building, and story. Especially as you move into the second trilogy

Red Rising is soo good. I like book 2 and 3 the most also 4 and 5 are also very good. 1 and 6+ are good but not as good as the rest.
I love how each of these books actually look really well loved. THAT is a sign of a good book all by itself.

Thank you Haley, ily and I can’t wait for my reading journey to begin again 🤟🏾💜
Woah, I am sure looking forward to read your book recommendations ❤️❤️
Red rising is amazing! And it only gets better. The first one is the author hitting his stride.
My husband asked me to read a book and let him know if he’d like it. It’s marketed as time travel but maybe not the kind of sci-fi he’d like. So I’m reading “this is how you lose the time war.”
Ah I’ve long time been wanting to read that! I’ve a lot of great things
My husband read that one and he said it was ok
Ouu, a time travel Sci-Fi book series that I find awesome is the Impossible Times trilogy by Mark Lawrence.
Yeah I am a guy and it was okay. It’s not really a science fiction (don’t mean it derogatory) but a quirky romance set in vaguely science fiction setting.
He really made you his personal book reviewer huh?
You have inspired me to order Red Rising, can’t wait!
Cool selection, maybe you could make a part two where it's all women authors?
Red rising is absolutely epic and the series just keeps getting better and better !! I can no recommend that series enough !!
the way these books all match each other too ❤️🖤❤️
i dont really read book but holy sh*t, i like to watch your shorts about books
you just make them soo entertaining
Stephen King’s Fairytale is amazing too!!
Agreed!
It's...kinda not.
I was LITERALLY thinking the other day if anyone knew any good books for guys📚THX!
The SKIN looks flawless girl
Can you read the book IF HE HAD BEEN WITH ME ❤ pls
I am going to recommend them to myself!
Can you please do book recommendations for 13 year old girls please!!!? I need help finding (an appropriate for my age) fantasy or mystery book to lose myself in!!!!!
Two books that every guy needs to read in his life are: Endurance by Alfred Lansing, and Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. They will change your life.
I'm a guy and I bought the storied life of AJ fikry two days ago. I finished it today. It's helping me go through a tough time and I wouldn't have found out about it if I hadn't seen this video. Thank you! I know I wouldn't have liked it a year ago but sometimes books find you at the right time.

@c7e-y5m it has a tiny bit of romance like just one kiss and yes, it is a story about that time
i've got a book recommendation for you haley! :)
it's white bird by the same author of wonder, it's the story of julian's grandmother during world war, i read it a while back and i always cry aha, it's comic style so you could probably read it in one sitting,

“All Systems Red” by Martha Wells has been a go to recommendation for everyone for me.

So you can read the one book pretty quick and decide if you want to keep going without having to commit to a 500 page book before deciding.

My personal fav
-Louis L'Amour Lando(a great novel of the magnificent sackett family)
-Tom Hardy (far from the maddening crowd)
I remember as a kid i used to read them all the time
I would also recommend the first binding
It’s long but such good epic fantasy! Also mmc
I always hated reading, i failed English in highschool twice, just could not give a care in the world for it. That being said, there is not one Stephen King book i haven't read.

I recomend night mare stairs its amazing its a little horror and trust me u hate horror but its so amazing and dw i cried aswell ❤❤❤
I was actually looking for books to read so thank you!
Hy Haley I love your channel and I am too a book girly, and my favorite book series is twilight and I was wondering if you could read it?

Loved 11.23.63
Wanna hear some serious pedantry? 11.23.63 is the tv mini series, while 11/23/63 is the book.
The Hunger Games is the best book i’ve read and i’m only halfway through the first one😂
So you not even at the actual hunger game yet huh
@ well now i’m on Mockingjay lol. I read fast
@ right on I’ve never read past catching fire so let me know if it’s worth it
@ Ok! It’s worth it so far!
Books for the fellas? Blood Meridian, Heart of Darkness, Lord of the Flies, you know, just some light hearted stuff
bruh lol
Highly recommend reading Heart of Darkness (Joseph Conrad) and then go watch the movie, Apocalypse Now (1979)
Red rising is so good! Great rec.
I’ve never been able to get in to books about just stories. It’s always gotta be some sort of self improvement book lol (because I’m lagging so far behind in life)😅
Reading is self-improvement by default. A well-read person will always have a leg up over those who don't read.
@@DrawtheCurtains in most cases I’d agree, but you’re telling me 50 shades of grey is self improvement?🤣 Idk…
Tons of books out there. Even fantasy can help you out. Avatar the last Airbender replaced my need for therapy later in life basically lmao. Brandon sandersons fantasy stories are amazing. They're badass and about broken people saving the world.
@@JaredPalmerVlogs Well... some books are better examples than others LOL
@@JaredPalmerVlogsI mean it definitely teaches the dangers of not having healthy boundaries and the failure to understand what proper BDSM relationships are all about.

I looked into the book Billy Summers and read the preview and loved it just because of this video. Thank you Haley!
the only book guys need to read are the firm and crime and punishment
Bought all 4 of these and I've finished Billy summers and AJ Fikry and I am not disappointed whatsoever. Thanks for the recommendations.
Guys can read any books. Theres no such thing as guy books or girl books
As a man who stopped reading Twilight and The Notebook after less than a quarter of the book, I deem you as absolutely wrong
Ofc your right. This is just, stuff they're more likely to enjoy?
@@Horzinicla ur just one individual
Loved red rising and Billy summers, thanks for recommending!
Brother, I love the feeling of intense validation when someone recommends something you love.
Red rising and billy summers absolutely slap
For anyone who needs any other book recommendations the tales of tarsurella is so good it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read love your vids 🫶
that fact that there all red too 😂😂❤

One of King's absolute best!! 👏👏👏 👍
Red Rising, The Stormlight Archive, and The Wheel of Time.
Thank you rlly needed this❤
Thank you for the Book recommendation red rising , I will be sure to pick it up when I read my books
Definitely writing these books down for future reads thanks Haley!
I always recommend Mathew Reilly books to guys trying to read again. His fast paced novels are super easy to fly through and are more "fun" books to read
Loved billy summers, I’ve not ready books but it’s my favourite so far
11/22/63 will have you weeping at the end. My favorite of all Stephen King's books.
My recs: I Am Legend- short read. Kinda horror, kinda not, post apocalyptic, but the main character is just a guy trying his best to survive.
The Flower War - a little longer, standalone, incredibly well written adult urban fantasy
Altered Carbon - better than the tv show by an order of magnitude
Aurora Rising - sci-fi space opera but also kind of a crime novel?
Thanks for the recommendations!
Your skin! Amazing looking girl
That is a phenomenal list. I haven’t even heard of the last one, but if it’s as good as the other three I gotta check it out.
Thanks for the recommendations! I’m gonna try Red Rising because I really want more books to read! (I have to many but who cares!) I’ve already downloaded a sample to read later.
Can someone recommend a book with healthy relationship,like some angst is fine by me but it should not get toxic .
Please recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl - both you and men’s will love it! Hysterical read - wife and I got addicted to the series.
11/22/63 is an amazing book. It’s more than just time travel and saving JFK. I almost never read fiction, but I loved that book so much and remember reading it when I was 17.
Love on the brain was so great! As a STEM girl, Loved it ❤
OMG LOVE ON THE BRAIN IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS

Thank you!! My little brother HATES reading, so me and my mom have been trying to get him to read. Thank you!!
The cheer I let out for Red Rising damn near echoed. So happy to see that in a list like this
Recommending these to myself, thanks :)
Red rising is absolutely amazing. I need to read them again
I asked u for book recs awhile ago so so happy about this video
Hyperion is good too. Neuromancer is pretty good if you enjoy the sci-fi / cyberpunk setting
