I think you'll be surprised with a Discovery of Witches. While it is angsty, it's also brilliant. Filled with mythology and science. I hope you enjoy it 😊
I had an ARC of it years ago and turned my library book club onto the series and they all loved the series..don't recall it being angsty but it is wonderful. Gets compared to Twilight .. NO it's a good book. Hope you enjoy
I recently read it and though I liked it I felt like the series is a long history and science lesson with some pretty steamy scenes. But overall the story line is quite interesting
Discovery of Witches is so, so good! It was much better than expected. I would indeed recommend reading the books first and then watching the show. Watching season one made me like feel reborn lolz. I did not expect much of it but it was really special and in a good way. There is one episode especially dear to me, it is fantastic how they displayed the pain and emotions of the characters. Really, really good! Enjoy!!
All Souls (Discovery of Witches) is one of my favourite series I've read in the last few years. It does have that angsty vampire stuff you wanted, but unlike Twilight or The Vampire Diaries it's very much for adults. It also has moments of being quite academic almost - the author is an academic herself (medieval history & history of science & alchemy I believe) and puts a lot of her knowledge into her work.
I love a discovery of witches so much. I would not describe it as twilight in college because the characters are more mature and personally more likable. the world in general is also bigger than just a tale of romance. it has some political elements for example. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised though. the show is also an amazing adaptation as well and season 2 is coming January.
oh please do a vlog for A Discovery of Witches! I would love to see what your thoughts are while reading that one XD also, do you plan on watching the tv series? EDIT: nevermind, you said you'll read the book first before watching the series XD
I loooove A Discovery of Witches!!!!!! I'm planning to reread it in December... The way the author puts romance and history of science together is incredible!
Discovery of Witches is such a great book! I love this book. I am in the middle of the re reading the second book because I had finally got a copy of the third book, but I have to re-read the series to remember what happened. And the tv show is also amazing. I actually like it.
Oh my goodness! I'm so excited to see that you have Black Sun on your TBR! I'm still waiting for hand-signed edition from Mysterious Galaxy - they literally had them sent to the author to hand sign, then mailed back to store, THEN mailed on to those of us who bought it. Totally worth the wait, but I hope I get it soon!!!
I’d love to see like a “throwback TBR” if you haven’t already done one. You could include books that you loved from like middle/high school or years ago to see if you still love them! (:
I loved Discovery of Witches. I read it for a second time after watching Season 1 of the tv series. A series I am happy to now own. Hope you enjoy. P.S - way better than Twilight
Discovery of Witches *chefs kiss* way better then twilight and collage. and so much better there is so much to it. I read the whole series in like a week and half. So bingable. I actually started re-reading immediately after finishing it.
OMG you’ve got some great reading ahead with the Liveship trilogy! They get progressively better each book! How is that even possible?! I’m starting Tawny Man trilogy soon.
Wok is slow at first but then it gets really good. 👍 I just bought book 2 and looking forward to reading it after i read more of the lightbringer series.
I like the idea of A Discovery of Witches a lot, unfortunately I got annoyed by the main relationship pretty fast and it since it is so important to the plot I got annoyed by everything else too 🙈 Also I wouldn't say it's college, I think the characters are actual grown ups
I thought I was going to love the whole series....the first book I blew through and I DNF’d the rest of the series half way through the second book. I too, got annoyed with the main relationship! Don’t feel bad about giving up on it!
I was searching for this comment! I felt the exact same way. I was rolling my eyes throughout most of the romance and just wanted to get to the good stuff. And I usually love romance! Super disappointed 😔
I loved the book a discovery of witches I read it last month and watched the series after I wasn’t disappointed with them the book is always better but I hope you like it has much has I did Legendborn was an amazing surprise for me I loved the magic world and the whole plot was full of surprises *^
That looks like such a fun TBR! I briefly entertained the idea of trying to read the Stormlight series for the first time before the new book is released, then I realized that I don't have nearly enough time. I read quickly, but not THAT quickly ahaha
I have the Bone Shard Daughter, The Liveship Traders, A Discovery of Witches, andThe Poppy War on my TBR. Just bought the Way of Kings. Legendborn sounds interesting. Another one for my TBR, lol. Great video, and thanks for sharing :)
Yesssss! Black sun time! Forget everything you know or thought you know. It matters not ;) only black sun matters haha. I did finally do six of crows. It’s was pretty darn good. Eventually I’ll get to all the books that have been added to my tbr by watching you!!
We have a lot of the same books on our TBRs. The Bone Shard Daughter is one I pre-ordered and read as soon as I received it. I loved it and can’t wait for the series to continue. Happy reading! 😀
You need to read Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco! It’s a new release, and I am loving it! Full of angst and all of your favorite tropes! I would love to hear your thoughts on it
I LOVED Legendborn, it got me out of a major YA fantasy reading slump. It has everything that I love in YA fantasy-- dark bad boy vs. golden child, secret society, fighting demons, goblet-of-fire-esk trials *chef's kiss* Plus, the inclusion of racial diversity as an actual part of the story and not an afterthought is so refreshing!
Good luck with avoiding Stormlight spoilers! Just stay away from ANY Brandon Sanderson discussion cos fans have no filters in those spaces haha. They’re brilliant as rereads, I did the same before I started RoW (got an early copy). They’re so worthwhile, I’m excited for you to enjoy them again!! ❤️ If you include Legendborn in a vlog then I’d love to see your thoughts! I’m intrigued by it but haven’t gone out to grab it yet...
Hi! Love your videos! I think you give the best summaries, enough to make me want to read them, but without any spoilers! Keep up the great work! I think you should read the Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss. I would LOVE your review! Lin-Manuel Miranda bought production rights and Starz I think so a show is also in the works for after the final book finally comes out! Happy November Reading, Rachelle Rachelle
This sounds like a great TBR! I really want to start in on Robin Hobb, there just are so many! I'm also a new BookTuber and I take a lot of inspiration from your videos!!
Good luck!! You can do it! Not sure if you were aware of the pre-order campaign for The Burning God, but it includes 3 (7-8?) key scenes from Nezha's POV (here is the link: a.pgtb.me/ChbzMX)

It does have much more science than I anticipated and I really found that interesting!
I.....think Discovery of Witches is going to surprise you....in all the best ways. It's so much more than what you described.
I recently read it and though I liked it I felt like the series is a long history and science lesson with some pretty steamy scenes. But overall the story line is quite interesting

"avoiding it like a plague" doesn't really have the same weight to it anymore..
Was just thinking that, we need to change the meaning to something like "try to avoid it a bit for a while if it isn't to much of a bother"
Was just thinking about how those ‘I survived...’ shirts are extremely poignant but also in very poor taste now 😬
I’d love to see like a “throwback TBR” if you haven’t already done one. You could include books that you loved from like middle/high school or years ago to see if you still love them! (:
A discovery of witches 😍😍😍 the book series and the show are beyond amazing!!!
Ah man, I’m sad I won’t get to message you SA spoilers, but I understand 😆 I’m so interested in Black Sun and Legendborn!
Raegan I feel like is the only book focused channel out of all the OG booktubers anymore. Queen.
November definitely gives me epic fantasy vibes. These books sound amazing and I hope it’s a great reading month! You’ve got this!!💛
I loved Discovery of Witches. I read it for a second time after watching Season 1 of the tv series. A series I am happy to now own. Hope you enjoy. P.S - way better than Twilight
I've been in a reading slump and your videos always make me motivated to read so thank you! Your TBR is awesome I hope you have a good reading month!

Love listening about the books.
Just picked up The Poppy War, can’t wait to read it.
Such a great stack to work though. I hope you have a great reading month. Happy Reading!!!
The Stoemlight Archives' audiobooks are great if you really want to power through them
The Discovery of Witches tv series is really good... Season two comes out in January
No way! I was wondering when it would air!!!
@@samfokke1942 yes I follow the shows Instagram account and they announced it about a month ago
I found the series was more concise then the book series. I loved the show and can't wait to watch season 2.
OMG you’ve got some great reading ahead with the Liveship trilogy! They get progressively better each book! How is that even possible?! I’m starting Tawny Man trilogy soon.
Love Discovery of witches book nice to read it this fall🍁🍂😆
Yeah i saw the way of king off the shelf and knew it. I just purchased it along with lots of other books. I hope I like it
Wok is slow at first but then it gets really good. 👍 I just bought book 2 and looking forward to reading it after i read more of the lightbringer series.
I loved a discovery of witches I think your going to love it!!!

@@trishthorpe8687 I'm relieved that someone had the exact same experience. I thought the beginning was promising but the romance... Meh...
I was searching for this comment! I felt the exact same way. I was rolling my eyes throughout most of the romance and just wanted to get to the good stuff. And I usually love romance! Super disappointed 😔
I loved the book a discovery of witches I read it last month and watched the series after I wasn’t disappointed with them the book is always better but I hope you like it has much has I did
Legendborn was an amazing surprise for me I loved the magic world and the whole plot was full of surprises *^
Sooooo Jealous that you have the Burning God.....def want to see what happens with them.
That looks like such a fun TBR! I briefly entertained the idea of trying to read the Stormlight series for the first time before the new book is released, then I realized that I don't have nearly enough time. I read quickly, but not THAT quickly ahaha
Good luck with your reading 📖 in your November tbr please stay safe love 💖 John from Australia
You will love Discovery of witches. It’s beautiful 😍
so excited for the burning god as well ahhhh
Interesting reads! Can't wait to hear your opinion
Good luck with your TBR books. I love fantasy, but yes, the authors tend to write HUGE, MASSIVE novels.
Still need to get to the way of kings 🙈
So in love with Hobb's series, I'm starting book 3 this month
I have the Bone Shard Daughter, The Liveship Traders, A Discovery of Witches, andThe Poppy War on my TBR. Just bought the Way of Kings. Legendborn sounds interesting. Another one for my TBR, lol.
Great video, and thanks for sharing :)
I really enjoyed Legendborn, so I hope you do too!
You are really wrong about the Discovery of Witches. It's not primarily an angsty romance novel. It is full-fledged fantasy.
Nice! Makes me even more excited!
I think there could have been a nicer way to say that lol
Sooooo excited for the burning god!!
The Poppy War is also based on the Nanjing Massacre ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
Not the entire book, but it is very clear once you hit that chapter.
Legendborn is on my TBR this month too i am so excited to get to it
Yesssss! Black sun time! Forget everything you know or thought you know. It matters not ;) only black sun matters haha. I did finally do six of crows. It’s was pretty darn good. Eventually I’ll get to all the books that have been added to my tbr by watching you!!
I wish you good luck with your TBR!!! Have fun reading! ❤️
Good luck with your TBR 🙂
I am loving the Black Sun so far! I know you will love it! ❤
Black Sun is so great and I hope you LOVE it!! 😄
We have a lot of the same books on our TBRs. The Bone Shard Daughter is one I pre-ordered and read as soon as I received it. I loved it and can’t wait for the series to continue. Happy reading! 😀
I just finished Caste. It was so well written and very interesting. One of my favorites of the year and probably my favorite nonfiction.
Hooray! Another video! Happy Reading!
Hi Reagan i'am watching you from Brazil.. i love you're videos. ❤️

Agreed! I LOVED Kingdom of the Wicked and cannot wait for the next book in the series 🙂

Hi! Love your videos! I think you give the best summaries, enough to make me want to read them, but without any spoilers! Keep up the great work!
I think you should read the Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss. I would LOVE your review! Lin-Manuel Miranda bought production rights and Starz I think so a show is also in the works for after the final book finally comes out!
Happy November Reading,

I can’t wait to read caste too! I think I’ll be reading her other book the warmth of other suns first though!
I love you sooo much...your videos excite me so much..I really shouted as I saw it..
This sounds like a great TBR! I really want to start in on Robin Hobb, there just are so many! I'm also a new BookTuber and I take a lot of inspiration from your videos!!
Great list!!! Inspired for sure. Are you planning to read Harrow the Ninth soon too?? I can’t wait to hear your thoughts
hopefully soon!!!
I'm on Stormlight 3 right now. 😍
okay. I think I'm going to have to read the poppy war next month. Not gonna lie, my sensitive heart may not be ready. :D thanks for sharing!
Good luck!! You can do it! Not sure if you were aware of the pre-order campaign for The Burning God, but it includes 3 (7-8?) key scenes from Nezha's POV (here is the link: a.pgtb.me/ChbzMX)
I bought The Way Of Kings but I am so scared to start it 😅
I flew through the Way of Kings! Don’t be scared of its size...you will love it!
I bought the audiobook 2 years ago & it’s 45 hours long.. I keep saying later later... later
Happy reading!!
For you as well!
Hi Reagan! I’ve found so many Fantasy books that I love from watching your channel ❤️
Same! Excellent recommendations :)
thanks for watching!
Good luck, you got this!!
Good Luck!!!!!
read Legendborn first! 💚💚💚
I’m curious, is it a coincidence or do you prefer to read big books in paperback? If you do, why?
p.s. love the video!
Was that Matilda huffing and puffing in the background? 😂😂
Hi reagan christopher paolini has a new book its sci fi you might like it its called to sleep in a sea of stars
I read Black Sun, and I liked it, but I didn’t really connect to or care about any of the characters
What order should I read Robin Hobb in?
Farseer first than Live Ship but they tech can be read in either order!
Early squad 💖 yay!
I have never seen so many huge books in one tbr . I am bamboozled and ashamed of how slow I read :(
There should be no "fast" or "slow" descriptors to our reading pace .... just read and enjoy the process.
Is the Way of Kings better than Mistborn? I found Mistborn REALLY boring.
What Does TBR mean?
To be read💜
@@aflowerthatcannotbebloomed thank you for answering ❤️
