check and mate was so fun!! one of my favorites of the year too!💞
I stand by it being one of Ali Hazelwoods best books to date!
tress of the emerald sea was one of my favourite books of this year too, truly such a joyful read i had so much fun reading it
ah yay! I can't wait to re-read it sometime in the new year 😊
this is me begging you to pick up stormlight again🙏🏻🙏🏻😩😩
Literally picking up Babel to read next and I am so stoked 😁 So happy to see you talking about it!
Hell yeah! I hope you enjoy it, it's certainly a wild ride.
The Nevernight trilogy includes a very BA female main character, lots of time on ships (including pirates), and is just SO gripping. I would 100% recommend it. Nevernight, Godsgrave, and Darkdawn by Jay Kristoff :)
Ooo I'll add it to the TBR 👀 thanks for sharing!
"PBS...pre brandon sanderson" hahaha love that
my life was so different during the PBS era 🤣
having Ender’s shadow on there, immediate subscribe!
glad we both share good taste 😌
Tress of the emerald sea is one of those books that I've been seeing EVERYWHERE this year
For good reason 😌 I def recommend picking it up, it truly is phenomenal!
top five books are:
1. Oathbringer - Brandon Sanderson
2. Rilla of Ingleside - L.M. Montgomery
3. Morning Star - Pierce Brown
4. The Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas
5. The Wise Man's Fear - Patrick Rothfuss
That's such a solid list! Good variety & ofc I'm biased bc I love TWMF haha
Read all but well-matched!
love that we have similar reading tastes! 🫶
Talking about ships, you may like "The Liveship Traders" by Robin Hobb.
I should try some Brandon Sanderson one day. I hear about his books a lot. 🤔
You should 100% try some Brando Sando books! They're worth the hype you are probably hearing about them! I do want to pick up Liveship Traders, but I need to make it through the Farseer trilogy first :)
@@cassandralynn7 You're right, it's better to read the first cycle beforehand. 😊
I think my top 5 books of 2023 would be (in no particular order):
- Our Dark Duet by V. E. Schwab
- Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
- The Fragile Threads of Power by V. E. Schwab
- Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig
- Home Before Dark by Riley Sager
(honorable mention: A Dangerous Collaboration by Deanna Raybourn)
I loved all of these books so much for so many different reasons. I still remember the great reading experiences I had with them 🧡
Love to see you enjoyed Schwab this year! I caved & bought Fragile Threads 🫢 Not sure when I'll pick it up, but I already know I'll love it. So happy you had such a wonderful reading year! Thanks for always sharing & being in my comments every video this year 🥺💕
@@cassandralynn7 Oh I hope so badly that you're going to love The Fragile Threads of Power 🙏🥺
And that's so sweet of you to mention! 🥺 I love watching your videos and I'm happy they accompanied me throughout 2023. It's the least I can do to show you how much I appreciate your content, especially knowing that every single comment matters. 🧡
so happy we agree on addie larue!! lol def going to tackle shades of magic next year🤞
Heck yeah! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it! 💕
Merry Christmas Cassy-if you celebrate it
oh to you as well! 😊😊
Some fav books from this year were When in Rome and Practice Makes Perfect (because you need both), the Heartstopper series, Happily Ever Island, Mr. Malcolm's List, and Shadow and Bone
Oh love to see it! Thanks for sharing Darci! 💕
This is such a stacked list!!! I really need to start the a darker shade of magic trilogy
Glad you think so! I was so happy with the books I managed to read this year :)
My top 5 reads would have to be Eva Evergreen and the Cursed Witch duology, A Court of Mist and Fury, The Natural Series, Fourth Wing, and The Infernal Devices trilogy. I really enjoyed reading Tress of the Emerald Sea a lot.
ooo I haven't even heard of Eva Evergreen, but the covers are so dang cute!
I so need to get more brandon Sanderson books ❤ I am loving check & mate.....I love Ali Hazelwood she's my favorite ❤ thanks for another great video
Absolutely! ❤
This video has basically convinced me to read Tress of the Emerald Sea as my first Brandon Sanderson book.
My Top 5 of 2023 were:
1. Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao
2. Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson
3. The Witch King duology by H.E. Edgmon
4. Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett
5. Amari and the Night Brothers by B.B. Alston
OMG yay that makes me so happy! I hope you adore it!! I bet you're so excited for Heavenly Tyrant in the new year 😊
What? No Ranger's Apprentice? I'm shocked 😂I'm hoping to read the Enders series... It's been on my TBR too long, Also I've never read Brandon Sanderson so that's a situation to be rectified soon.
I WAS SHOCKED TOO! The newer RA books just aren't the same :( Definitely do yourself a favor & get to Brando Sando ASAP!!
I love all you videos you are amazing
awe thank you!
@@cassandralynn7 welcome you just made my day
I'd be surprised if Stormlight doesn't become a favorite series of all time for you... because I have book 4 next and its insane! if your intimidated listen to the audiobooks they're so good! also loved Tress of the Emerald Sea!
Stormlight is 100% happening in 2024! I'm going to try to read the rest of Brando Sando's works including novellas. Mistborn is going to be hard to beat series wise, but since the 5th book is coming out I think 2024 is the perfect year to finally get to it!!
@@cassandralynn7 just wait you might like stormlight more than mistborn...
Your Goodreads link does not work… fyi!
thank you for letting me know! I fixed it :)
I’m currently reading Tress and I’m loving it, the writing style seems so different from what I read of mistborn and I just couldn’t get into that one 💚🫶🏻
So happy to hear that! Tress def gives off different vibes than Mistborn!
