I can't stop admiring your hair in this video
Aw thank you!
Right?!?
your hair is perfect
I know right it's beautiful😍
Every time you upload my friend and I make bets with each other about whether or not you're going to mention Outlander or Scotland in some way. I'm not ashamed.
You know what? Whenever I watch these kind of videos I get so anxious. I think about the book I'm reading, the books I have in my to-read list and then I'm like OMG I need to read that one so badly too. I want to read this and read that. And I'm currently reading one already. It leaves me breathless. Ok.
The Lunar Chronicles, The Mortal Instruments, yes! I haven't read Winter but I did read the City of Heavenly Fire and I wanted to cry when it ended!
Emily Petzke - Fairest is a NOVELLA its Levana's Story, plus it will have an Excerpt of Winter book 4 of the Lunar Chronicles.. & it will be Released Jan 26..
Reading The Bronze Horseman right now and LOVING it, its so engrossing and ahh I just love it!
Alexander
Need to get that book. It sounds fantastic!
It is freaking amazing indeed! The first time I read it was like 5yrs ago and I still regularly read snippets off the book for comforts sake cause it's gonna break your heart big time...and you've got 2 more books to go in the series!
I've had outlander and cinder on my TBR for a while, and everyone keeps talking about how amazing they are. I have to read them ASAP! The Bronze Horseman sounds incredible, I'm going to have to look into it for sure.
The Throne of Glass series is epic!
I cant get into the 3rd book Heir of Fire and why does EVERYONE LIKE ROWAN?!??! WHAT ABOUT CHAOL?
Jennifer Morales I love Chaol so much and I want him and Celaena to get together again and I promise you you'll love the third book keep going!
Jennifer Morales KEEP GOING. Trust me. IT'S WORTH IT. Chaol is awesome. He's sweet and valiant. But come on, ROWAN THOUGH. I like Rowan as more of Aelin's best friend, though. Not bf.
I loved this video, I'm very tempted by Outlander! I picked up White Hot Kiss because of you - and I loved it, so I always trust your judgement now!
Unrelated to the books, but I love your hair in this video Sasha! So lovely!
Dear Sasha
You will write a book with Lindsay Cummings
Future Watcher
Thanks love!!
I screamed when you held up Ruby Red. I'm so emotional attached to that author and that book and I read it like three years ago when it came out in German but it's still in my top ten books of all time.
Same here !! I read it years ago when it came out in german and I live love loove the whole series !! Definitely some of my favorite books !!
I'm from Spain and I love your videos! You are amazing. Kisses from Spain and happy new year!
First of all you're almost to 100,000K!!!! I mentioned Cress and Heir of Fire in my top releases video and Hexed Which I read based on your recommendation :-) can't wait for the new releases in all of these series. Great video Sasha!
City of Heavenly Fire, Ignite are so good and I want to read Throne of Glass and Kiss of Deception so badly and These Broken Stars!!
I've been binge watching all your old videos. I love them!
Whenever I watch your videos I get so excited about reading. You make all these books sound so wonderful. The only bad thing is I am not sure which of these books to read first! I think I am going to read Heir of Fire as I am almost done with The Assassin's Blade. Outlander is definitely on my TBR for January!
I'm reading Cinder at the moment (along with 50 shade of grey series).
though I hate starting a series when all the books have not come out yet, i couldn't help myself with this one. i'm such a sucker for fairytales.
oh, i did want to mention something. if i'm not mistaken (and i could totally be wrong here), but i believe that Winter is officially the fourth book in the series. Fairest (officially book 3.5) was more of a side-ish story so readers could get to know the queen's take a bit better. so i think there will be one other book after winter, since the author said the series is in five part. but, like i mentioned before, i could be wrong. and if you didn't know, there are also three free short stories that you can find on the website Wattpad (and you can find it on other sites too). These are entitled Glitches - set prior to Cinder, The Queen's Army - set just before Scarlet, and The Little Android which is based on the little mermaid.
oh i have a book to recommend to you . :) if you have not read it already i recommend The Duff: designated ugly fat friend. this book has just come out as a movie, but just so you know, the movie is ABSOLUTELY different from the book. the concept of what it means to be a DUFF is the only thing the book and movie have in common. though the movie was still very good on its own.
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS VIDEO IS PERFECT: your hair, the books, the explanation of the books, YOU!!!
I love your channel! Find loads of good books through it! I'm also from Scotland so it's great to hear the love for this country! 😊
I completely agree with Ruby Red. I finished it two days ago and couldn't have loved it more.
I read Obsidian and Onyx ,because of your reccomendatioin about loving Jennifer L. Armentrout's books . I had never read any of her books ,so I picked up Lux Beginings and later on in the summer I got the chance to meet her . This month I read book 1 and 2 and and I loved them! I just ordered Lux Consequences .I can't wait to read book 3 and 4 and Orgin after. Thanks so much for the suggestion it was one of my top picks for 2014 :)
this video was so entertaining to watch! you put such excitement into this when talking about your fave books of 2014, that I pretty much want to read everything you talked about. Especially Outlander. Also you could definitely pass for Clary.
Firstly, your hair is perfect! Secondly, some of my favorite books I read in 2014 are: Doon, Grave Mercy, The Jewel, CoHF, and Destined For Doon :)
Winter I guess would be Snow White. Obviously... but i guess my favorite book would be Scarlet.
I just really want to thank you, I picked up the mortal instrument series and I am loving it! I'm currently on City Of Glass.
I´m so happy that I found your channel! You're one of my favorite people on youtube, and you always inspire me to read new books
Your my favorite BookTuber, you recommend such good books and your full of energy. I am obsessed with all the books you talked about today, I wouldn't know what good books to read without you. Your the best.
I love your hair!!! It looks so pretty (not that it doesn't all the time because it always does!)
Firstly, your hair is gorgeous in this video. Secondly, I LOVED Cinder and Ignite Me; so glad I picked up those books
Omg I'm fangirling so hardcore right now hahahah your excitement must have rubbed off onto me because now I'm lounge REALLY excited to read so many of these books on your list and gaaahhhh you picked so many phenomenal books!!!!!
2015 is going to be such an amazing year for reading!!!!
YOU ALMOST HAVE 100K SUBSCRIBERS! CONGRATS IN ADVANCED!!!
Agree with you completely on Outlander and The Bronze Horseman. Reading The Summer Garden at the moment, third book in the bronze horseman series and am loving the entire series! And Outlander, who could not agree best book ever!
I just started reading outlander and i just watched the first 8 episodes and fell in love with the story... And Jamie Fraser! Can't wait to see what happens next!
This video makes me want to buy almost al of the books you showed.
You are amazing Sasha!!
Can't wait to get reading! I recently just moved and there's no wifi (thank god for cellular)! Now, I have all the time in the world to read so YAY!!!! Thank u for another awesome review!!
Awesome list! Thanks for reminding me about Doon! I feel you about your love of Scotland. Would love to visit that country. That only makes the second time I've heard about Silent Echo. Sounds like something I should pick up! Have a Happy New Year!
Almost 100 000 suscribers! 💗 Sasha you're amazing, your love for books is awesome! So proud of you! 😘
Because of you, Sasha, I want to read the Throne of Glass series so bad! And just so many more books! Thank you for that ❤
I'm just starting cinder! I'm so excited because I've heard such great things about it :)
I have Ruby Red now I can't wait to read it. Also JLA is AMAZING!!! Outlander is my FAV too, so now I want to read Doon thanks!! Your rambling is awesome love it
I actually got every book in this video besides the bronze horseman for Christmas! So excited to read them all:)
Congrats on the approaching 100K!!
I REALLY want to read Kiss of Deception and Alienated!!
And I LOVE ROWAN SO MUCH TOO!! :)
Awwwww, baby Sasha. You were so cute and your hair was so nice. I'm happy to FINALLY meet a fellow Rowan fan. I love that man so so much.
I have picked up sooo many books thanks to you. And everything you've recommended has been great so far. I'm in love with Jamie (finished Outlander, currently watching the series). And I just wanted to ask what happened with the Silent Echo read-along? I started and haven't finished it waiting for it ) :
Love your hair btw
Sasha! I don't know if you ever heard of The Winner's Curse, but you HAVE to read it! It's so freaking good, but sadly isn't hyped enough about especially when it's up there with like Divergent, TMI, etc. and I have a big feeling you might enjoy it!
100,000 subscribers !!!!!! Congratzz !
Thank you!!!!!
The first thought that popped up in my head during the first seconds of the vid is 'ohmygod' because your hair is goals af! 😍😍
Actually Marissa Meyer is releasing another book before "Winter" in January. It's called "Fairest: Levana's Story." I'm really excited to read about Levana, and definitely can't wait to pick it up!
Sasha, you're such a sweet and beautiful person. I really enjoy your videos, they are part of my daily life. I wish you the best for this new year and for every year and day of your life. It may sound cheesy, but I love you and (because of the books) I feel very close to you ♥ Happy (almost) New Year ^^
I'm from Argentina, sorry if the word choice isn't accurate.
Your hair looks so beautiful here!
These Broken Stars would definitely be one of my favorites as well!
Have a Happy New Year Sasha! Keep making videos :)
Hi Sasha i love your videos and i hope you keep making them. I can't wait to get and read Outlander because you have raved about it so much and i watch every one of your videos and i can tell from them that you love that book. I not long ago started the booktube community and i got the inspiration from your videos and i can't wait till you make another one. I too want to go to Scotland because it is just so beautiful and picturesque. Hope you stay on booktube!
I just LOVE your hair, you look gorgeous!! One of the best things by this year was to find your videos that always makes me smile and light up my day:) Thank you for exicting♥♥
I love the Lunar Chronicles and can't wait for "Winter" to be released. Marissa Meyer has another Lunar Chronicle story (between Cress and Winter). It's called "Fairest" and is Levana's Story. It was released on 1/27/15 by Rampion Books.
Adding SO many books to my TBR after this video! Your hair looks amazing
Doon is fantastic. I'm not done with it yet, but I'm about half way through. And I'm in love. I started reading it because I saw it in one of your recommendation videos. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
you're hair looks so pretty!
the kiss of deception is also one of my favorite books I've read this year! You were actually the one that made me want to read it after you put it in a book haul, so thanks for that! Total mindfuck
Cassandra Clare came to Ireland twice and I missed both of the events 😭 hopefully she'll come back soon 😊
Ah yeah, I actually met Sarah J Maas in Edinburgh, holy cow she's hilarious and awesome 👍
Thanks to watching your videos on the Outlander and Ruby Red I went bought those books. I actually can't wait to read Ruby Red and the Outlander.
Happy New Year Sasha! I wish you lots of health, happiness, love and success with all the college/university stuff :D
My favorites are:
And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini - This book is "simply the best"
Cinder
Beautiful Disaster
The Saint, the Surfer and the Cooperative Manager by Robin Sharma - This book is life changing!!!!
I finally read the Hunger Games Trilogy (don't blame me for being so damn late :D ) so they are the last for my "top favorites" this year ;)
I really like all the books that you mentioned in this video and I can't wait to read all of them! The only one problem is that I don't have enough space for many books at my room, but I'll figure something out :D
Your hair looks absolutely georgous!
I LITERALLY FREAKED OUT WHEN I SAW THIS VIDEO IN MY SUBSCRIPTION PAGE. IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG ♡♡♡
I've read the Fallen Star series and it blew my mind, the story line was literally just so amazing. 🙌
I love your videos. Plz keep making them. Can't wait to see more of your videos in 2015!!
Ooo I am super interested in The Bronze Horseman. I am a super huge fan of Historical Fiction and Historical Romance. I think that may be something that I'll like. If you have any other Historical Fiction novels you think I would like definitely give me suggestions.
I'm trying to read These Broken Stars now, but I can't seem to get into it because of major book hangover from The Darkest Minds. I'm probably going to have to wait until I get the next books in that trilogy before I read it...
Yeah your hair is gorgeous! And I kind of want to read Outlander now... But so many books, so little time!!!
So I went to Barnes and noble for outlander and just some other book I would find (in this case it was throne of glass YASSS) and so I'm looking around the little aisles and such cuz the other half of the store is puzzles and games.
After like twenty minutes I give up. I'm not going to find it. This makes me really sad. So I pick up throne of glass and decide to buy some random Sarah Dessen book because...why not, even though I know I need outlander. I ain't talking to the help desk because they ain't very helpful to me.
Then *angels start singing* I see it on a pile of bad patterned purses OUTLANDER BY DIANA SOMETHING. And it was great. The cover corner was bent. It wasn't hardcover. I wasn't even sure if it was the right outlander. Thank God it was. It looked like someone had just finished reading it. It looked like a library book which made me upset but I found it and I put the Sarah Dessen book in its place. It was..a good book day to say the least.
divergent was my fav book of 2014 and is one of my fav books that ive ever read and plus its 487 pages long in which i read in 3 days in the 5th grade
CONGRATS ON 100,000!
Your hair is so pretty , btw I love your book choices.
So many books so little time! you are the inspiration to my reading!
So many books have been added to my TBR list!
One of my favourite books of this year is Avalon by Mindee Arnett! Sasha you would love it, it's a scifi adventure book, probably my favourite scifi book!
Sasha you should check out Why I Let My Hair Grow Out by Maryrose Wood. I got it for a dollar from 5 Below a few years ago and IT WAS AMAZING. So Morgan's parents ship her over to Ireland (which is pretty much the same thing as Scotland, right? :P) for a bike tour. In Ireland, she ends up going back and forth from this fairytale world and reality. I've never read Doon, but based on what you've said about it, I think you would like this book too. :)
Has anyone ever told you that you look like Amy Pond? Sometimes when you turned your head, you looked so much like her that I had to do a double take.
Anyway, my favorite book of 2014 was Chameleon Moon by RoAnna Sylver. It's a dystopian novel about people with superpowers living in a police state. It was brilliant. I definitely recommend it.
Almost 100 000 subscribers!!!
Congratulation!!
I'm interested to see what the Bronze Horseman is like. I've read a couple of other things by Paullina Simons but she writes such diverse books it's hard to know what to expect.
I love your hair!! I guess I should really pick up Outlander then...
Have you read Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins???? If not, you totally should! I read it in one day bc it was soooo amazing!!
Favourite books: Lookjng for Alaska (John Green), Paper Towns (John Green), the Iron Fey series (Julie Kagawa), and Minders (Michelle Jaffe)
BOOK RECOMMENDATION!!! The puzzle ring by Kate Forsyth is a beautiful book set in Scotland, with traditional folklore and time travel ^_^ YOU WOULD LOVE IT!! ^_^ I read it years ago, but it has stayed with me for a long time, and I'm sure it will for you too :)
thank you for your book suggestions. you have an amazing book taste! ☺
+Abegail Abby omg so true!!
My favorite books of 2014 ( I read them in 2014; not published in 2014)
are
Incarnate,
shatter me,
Daughter of Smoke and Bone & Days of Blood and Starlight
and of course cinder, scarlet and cress
can't wait for Winter but there is another book coming out in january about Queen Levana
I think it's called Fairest
Happy New Year :)
Congratulations on 100,223! You deserve it, I love your videos :)
I think the Scotland you love is the Scottish Highlands. I mean, there are areas of Glasgow where the life expectancy is 30, and have you seen the film Trainspotting? Or Filth?
Just bought the Outlander (4 books box set) really hope i'll like it as much as you did!
Decided to pick up Silent Echo after hearing your reviews on it can't wait to start reading it! ((By the way COHF was amazing🙌🙌 Just finished reading it))
I love all of your videos! You get so excited about your books and I love it! Haha. And also, I am in LOVE with your hair! What kind of curling wand did you use?
OMG Sasha ily! I love your vids! You are so bright and cheery and the way you get so excited about books is adorable! Have you read The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight? It is amazing I highly recomend it!
Just got Outlander today! So excited! :)
i just love ruby red ♡♡♡ i'm from austria and mother tongue is german so i read this book years ago and re-read it like 4 or 5 times ♡♡♡ sooooooo much love ♡
Nice selection of books! Your hair looks beautiful!
Just bought Doon and cannot wait to read it!! 💗
Something I forgot to mention in my last comment was that your hair looks gorgeous!
You've totally got me interested in Outlander. I LOVE histroical fiction, I hope I get to read it soon!
your hair looks super gorgeous! That was the first thing I thought when I saw you lol
even though we have very different taste in books, you seem to like this ones so much i think i have to give them a try!
I totally agree with Ignite Me! I wish it had more of this series! :)
CONGRATS ON 100K!! (I don't know when it happened, but I just noticed)
