      I'm the same way! I went to Bookcon in Chicago (in May) and they had a panel of booktubers. I was like "what is booktube?" A week after that, I started watching all of the booktube videos that were interesting to me. Now, I am subscribed to like 10 booktuber channels. lol

    @jacobmeyer2092 8 років тому

    I've actually been reading Furiously Happy because you were talking about it in your February tbr and it looked awesome just based on the hilarious cover. I've really been enjoying it. I've been alternating between the book and the audiobook, because I love reading the little footnotes and seeing the little pictures, but she does a really good job narrating too, so it's been hard to stick to one version over the other.

  • @bookinklings
    @bookinklings 8 років тому +1

    Most of the books you recommend I read, specially the Historical Fiction ones. Read Between Shades of Gray and Passenger because of you and loved them! ^^

  • @sandyreadsalot
    @sandyreadsalot 8 років тому +1

    Pretty much all of my favorite books are books that I read because of BookTube, haha. Fangirl, the Lunar Chronicles, and Shatter Me, The Darkest Minds are definitely a few of my favorites that you mentioned. :) I still need to read All The Light We Cannot See!

  • @briankennedy1

    • @samjensen392
      @samjensen392 8 років тому +1

      I'm reading The Well of Ascension right now, and it's great, as was Mistborn, but The Stormlight Archive is and probably will always be my favorite Brandon Sanderson series.

    • @briankennedy1
      @briankennedy1 8 років тому

      +sykosam It's so damn good. I randomly came across some stuff on the Wiki today and realized I definitely missed some stuff about the Nightwatcher and how he grants powers and curses. Time for a re-read!

  • @jacklinu7936
    @jacklinu7936 8 років тому

    It's funny that you mention mistborn because I was a little hesitant to read it but watching you talk about Brandon Sanderson made me check it out from the library. And so far I am loving it!!! I also checked out steelheart but have yet to read that one.

  • @elizabethsaunders9640

    Fangirl, Shatter Me and The Raven Boys are also on my TBR because on booktube. I also don't read much contemporary so I'm glad to hear you don't either but still enjoyed it. Red Queen and The Wrath and the Dawn are two others I read because of bootube.

  • @AdmiralShinee
    @AdmiralShinee 8 років тому

    Oh my god yes! This fantasy and sci-fi book club I had joined were forcing me to read mistborn and after watching your video about your favourite fantasy books I finally gave it a go and I LOVED IT! (Also, Sanderson will be here next month, I really hope I get to meet him *fingers crossed*) And just two days ago I picked up the entire trilogy of the sword, the ring and the chalice because again, you recommended it (And also because I got the whole trilogy for 6 bucks...)

  • @bluEish04

  • @novelinsights3038
    @novelinsights3038 8 років тому +3

    I'm reading the Throne of Glass series right now. This is probably the first thing I've read specifically because of BookTube (actually, specifically because of your channel) and I'm loving it, though I have plenty of other books on my radar now because of BookTube that I otherwise wouldn't.

  • @Lisa-cy3ss
    @Lisa-cy3ss 5 років тому +5

    I was looking at the back ground and saw the Lunar Chronicals but I didn't see Cinder so I knew it was on the list😂

  • @Joe_Maysky
    @Joe_Maysky 8 років тому

    TDM is one of my favorite series as well now too-- not so much for being dystopian (though I'll admit I haven't grown out of it) but because Alex Bracken is such a great character developer and plot arc crafter. One that I'm about to pick up from your hype, Regan, is the Lightbringer series for which I'd love a series overview video if you have time and interest.

  • @emlouwoods
    @emlouwoods 8 років тому

    I did pick up the Mistborn books and got a friend into them too it's like our long distance book club series 😊

    @lovefromisabel9223 8 років тому

    I read Code Name: Verity because of your videos, Regan! And I LOVED it. Mistborn is on my TBR because of you too haha x)
    I'm pretty sure Booktube got me to read Throne of Glass which is now one of my all-time favorites series ever so I am very very thankful for that

  • @bingingonbooks6807
    @bingingonbooks6807 8 років тому

    While you were talking, I was thinking that I want to do a review of Mistborn soon and was kinda startled when you suddenly mentioned it at the end. I didn't read mistborn because of booktube, I just came across it in a bookshop, but it was a great trilogy. Though I think I might also pick up Fangirl now.

  • @CuseImNerd
    @CuseImNerd 8 років тому +13

    Actually, I read Mistborn because of you!
    You were always talking about how great it was and the plot seemed interesting, so I picked it up and... well, I hated it. Obviously joking, it is a wonderful book, I loved it! So good!

  • @juliahormayer7255
    @juliahormayer7255 8 років тому

  • @aideeng8259
    @aideeng8259 8 років тому

    Booktube (well you really) made me read The Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy. I'm not one to pick up contemporary but I saw how much you loved it i had to give it a go. Now it's one of my favourite series :)

  • @joyce-marilyn8152

  • @sorayabowie3212
    @sorayabowie3212 8 років тому

    If you loved The Raven Boys, I highly, highly recommend reading The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater. Absolutely beautiful! And my top "booktube made me read it" are Mistborn, Six of Crows, The Winner's Curse, and Rebel Belle. And I adored all of them! There have been lots of others, but these are my fave.

    Atm it's usually either that I read a book for a university class or I read it because it was at some point recommended on booktube/ goodreads (sometimes I'm about 3 years behin though... :D) or sometimes I just browse the bookstore and pick a interesting looking book, but that's getting more and more rare

BookTube. Oh and The Dumb House which I'm currently reading too. And some others which I'm sure I'm forgetting about right this second :)

So thank you Booktube! lol

    Okay, now I have to read The Raven Boys because, like you, I hated the Shiver series and I made it my life's goal to never read another Maggie Stiefvater book. But since becoming apart of booktube, I have seen so many videos that feature The Raven Boys and everyone loved it! Okay, fine! I give in! It's on my TBR now. Great video!!

    I only picked up Fangirl and Cinder because of booktube too! Fangirl is now one of my favorite books, because I identified with Cath so so much! However, I have not read Cinder yet ^.^
