Once you hit Heir of Fire, I feel like the whole series shifts. All of the sudden there are a billion more characters and the plot is so much more intense. Those first two books seem so distant. I miss the good old days of Dorian and Celaena in the library.
I read the ending of Queen of Shadows and I was just thinking how things got to this point with Dorian and Chaol. Like Dorian’s out here shattering the castle, Aelin is freaking magical, and Manon is trying to stop Perrington. Like wasn’t Aelin a slave at the beginning and now she’s some fire breathing bitch queen who killed the king?
Finally, someone who understands. I really don't hear booktubers talk much about the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is one of my favorite book series. It has a great sentimental value to me. Because it is the first book series I've ever read. I've reread this series a lot of times and it keeps getting better and better. And I love it more everytime I read them. It definitely comes at number 2 in my top list after Harry Potter. I say number 2 because even though I read this series before Harry Potter and even though it has a great sentimental value to me nothing can beat Harry Potter for me. NOTHING. And even though Hunger Games was great I think I like it more because of my attachment to it.
I have recently read the "Six of Crows" series by Leigh Bardugo and absolutely loved it. I ordered the Grisha series as well and I can't wait to start reading it.
I adore TMI, but I feel like the only one who really didn’t like TID. I just had a way harder time connecting with any of the characters, so I guess that combined with my general aversion to historical fiction outweighed my love for shadowhunters? IMO, Clockwork Angel was OK, but Prince was sooo boring that I almost DNF’d, which I’m glad I didn’t because I honestly loved Princess. Mixed bag I guess.
I completely and totally forgot about The Hunger Games like whutttttt 😂 Haven't read it or seen the films for years. Omg watch the extended editions of LOTR RIGHT NOW, because they are SO bloody amazing. I'm finally reading LOTR and I'm currently reading Two Towers! HAHA Red Queen 😂
My top 10 is 1. Half bad 2. PJ/PJO/MC(Rick Riordans ‘gods worlds’) 3. Shatter me 4. Sandman Slim(Richard Kadrey) 5. VA/Bloodlines(Richelle Mead) 6. Circle(Mats Strandberg) 7. The Mortality Doctrine(James Dashner) 8. Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon books. 9. The Maze Runner 10. The Legend trilogy(Marie Lu)
I liked Percy Jackson when I was younger, but then I tried to reread them and all the characters seem to have the exact same sense of humour and voice and it annoyed me
dude can i say i appreciate your thumbnails. they're all clean & simple and not LOOK AT ME THIS IS WHAT MY VIDEO ABOUT which is super refreshing. your content is like my favorite thing on youtube keep doing you!
I have not read The Mortal Instruments and I don't know if I will ever read it. I tried the first book but I couldn't get past the first chapter without getting bored.
I felt that. Opening up with a club scene is kind of unrelatable, especially if it's not your scene (and I know it's not mine.) I started getting invested when we started getting to learn about MC being fatherless and her home life, but then it lost me again when the fantasy elements started getting introduced. I really want to get into it, but it didn't grip me like coming back to Harry Potter post highschool did.
I adore these type of videos! whenever I look for someone new on booktube to subscribe to I always look for these videos because they make it super easy to understand if I have the same interests in stories as the youtuber that I’m watching and as soon as you said the first two I didn’t even realized it, I just clicked on the subscribe button. And of course, I was sold with acotar and tid. Well guess who’s going to marathon your videos!
I literally joined your chanel like a day ago and been binge watching, and I know ABSOLUTELY nothing about your favourite anything but when you *held up Red Queen* I full on frowned and scrolled to the comments to see that a lot of others had the same response, and was pleasantly relieved when you unveiled Harry Potter.
L&CO IS SO UNDERRATED JONATHAN STROUD CAME TO MY SCHOOL AND SIGNED MY COPY OF THE SCREAMING STAIRCASE AND WE TALKED ABOUT HARRY POTTER AND IT WAS GREAT
Same...but then I listened to the audiobooks for harry potter starting with the last and going backwards and IM IN LOVE all over again. I love these characters and this world so much please try the audiobooks
I love so many of these series too! I'm also currently in the middle of watching all the Lord of the Rings movies, and I love all the extended versions too. The characters and stories are super awesome, and I really want to read the books some time!
I’m on the Percy Jackson series and am on book 4, when I’m done I’m going to read, not all, but probably the first few couple of Books in the assassins blade series
I love so many of your choices. I still need to read acotar, shatter me, infernal books . Not interested in mortal instruments. And I agree Hunger Games is timeless ! 😍 I’m currently reading Lunar books and Im So behind everyone 😅
Abby Marcum who tf says the show is better than the books...?! Mate, kill those Monsters, begone beasts!!! Geez the show is just garbage how can someone watch 10min of it without cringe. AND HOW CAN SOMEONE WATCH THE WHOLE THING AND SAY ITS BETTER THAN THE BOOKS. THEY WOKE JOCELYN UP AFTER LIKE 1 TRY AND THEN THEY KILLED HER. WHO. THE. SNACK. DOES THAT?? AND WHO THINKS THATS OKAY????!
i definitely agree that the books are far better than the tv show (aside from the weird incest stuff) but the show has gotten far better than it was in season one and ultimately i am so glad i watched it as i might not have ever read the books otherwise.
I love Harry Potter, but even j.k. Rowling said if she’d had more time she’d have edited and changed some things in the last three. However I do love the fantastic beasts series of movies.
OMG do you know that a 4th book is coming in the Shatter Me seris?! It's called Restore Me and it's coming out in March! I'M soooo excited! Shatter Me is one of my favorite series!
I just discovered you and I trust you because you and I, you and me, we click on a book love level. I'm getting back into reading so I'm going to read everything that you mentioned that I haven't read already.
OMG. this is the first video I watch from your channel and when you got to the 1st book I was like, Harry Potter it's always in the top ten it has to be this! AND YOU HELD RED QUEEN UP LIKE WTF
God you made me cry laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂 When your talking about the first series on your list . I just thought " It's Harry potter , it's so obvious " and then you held the red queen cover and I was just " haha I told ........ wait !!! What ??" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏 that's the best thing I've ever seen
AH YOU KILL ME!!!!! Your unveiling of Harry Potter being #1 has been my favorite of all time. If I had a top 10 list of Booktubers unveiling Harry Potter as their number one fave series list, YOU WOULD BE NUMBER ONE!!!
Wow. There is a matching Shatter me Hardcover?! I’ve been hoping for this for years!! Never read the series and I’m not gonna lie it was because of the ugly ass cover of the first book. So excited to finally get started on this 😍
*Holds up Red Queen*
"Who's surprised - I just have to say - JUST KIDDING WHO DO YOU THINK I AM?"
*Unveils Harry Potter*
Will Herondale lol at your profile pic and Name. Love it 😂
Omg our usernames!
My Potterhead soul was just *so* proud! I literally went like "Oh "The Red Queen that's cool i gue-- HOLY SCHEISSE!!😍😍"
Most iconic moment in booktube history
ITS HARRY FREAKIN POTTER
* holds up red queen *
* am shook *
Katesbookdate 😂 same.
Same here! I froze for 2 seconds😂

Same
My jaw literally dropped
When you held up Red Queen I was like WHOMST
Ivy I was annoyed he picked Harry Potter infernal devices needed to be first and red queen could've been like #6
Ivy WHOMSTD'VE
I was screaming when you held up Red Queen ahahahahahhaaha
JUST KIDDING! WHO DO YOU THINK I AM? I literally screamed hahahahaha
"JUST KIDDING! WHO DO YOU THINK I AM?" you're the best booktuber everrrrr
Yeah what u said
You: *Holds up Red Queen By Victoria Aveyard*
Me: *INHALES SHARPLY* I WAS NOT EX-
You: Surprise! *Reveals Harry Potter*
Me: oh. . .OH
hmmmm i thought a colleen hoover book would be number one???
Mimi TheBookWarrior I know right I was so surprised
Yataii disappointed but not surprised 😂😂
He didnt do it because we would have guessed that its a trick
right? I was waiting for November 9
HAHAHA WHEN YOU GOT TO NUMBER ONE AND SHOWED RED QUEEN I WAS LIKE “what?????” AND THEN HARRY POTTER JUST SLID RIGHT OUT IM HOLLERING
Once you hit Heir of Fire, I feel like the whole series shifts. All of the sudden there are a billion more characters and the plot is so much more intense. Those first two books seem so distant. I miss the good old days of Dorian and Celaena in the library.
Erin Marie I miss those books lol I'm on EOS and now it's literally just pure drama. EOS could literally be 400 pages and not 800 😂
qwq yeah I feel yah! It was so soft then stuff goes down
I read the ending of Queen of Shadows and I was just thinking how things got to this point with Dorian and Chaol. Like Dorian’s out here shattering the castle, Aelin is freaking magical, and Manon is trying to stop Perrington.
Like wasn’t Aelin a slave at the beginning and now she’s some fire breathing bitch queen who killed the king?
a friend of mine is reading them and shes making me remember all the good old days of throne of glass and chaolaena and i love it
Same 😢
Most people’s golden trio: Harry, Ron, and Hermione
My golden trio: Celaena, Dorian, and Chaol
I've reread The Hunger Games books 1 and 2 three times in the last two years. IT NEVER STOPS BEING GOOD!!
Merphy Napier yes! I actually feel like they get better every time I reread them
Finally, someone who understands. I really don't hear booktubers talk much about the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is one of my favorite book series. It has a great sentimental value to me. Because it is the first book series I've ever read. I've reread this series a lot of times and it keeps getting better and better. And I love it more everytime I read them.

I say number 2 because even though I read this series before Harry Potter and even though it has a great sentimental value to me nothing can beat Harry Potter for me. NOTHING. And even though Hunger Games was great I think I like it more because of my attachment to it.
Why not book 3?
It’s kinda garbage in my opinion lol
You know, Suzanne Collins has another series written before the Hunger Games called Underland Chronicles. Surprised no one talks about it
*He says he loves everything that happens in the first book in the Hunger Games series*
Me: *Whimpers* "But Rue"
"Who are these people? I hate them all." - You get me
I have recently read the "Six of Crows" series by Leigh Bardugo and absolutely loved it. I ordered the Grisha series as well and I can't wait to start reading it.
😂😂 I was so confused for a hot second when you held up RQ (even though I really like RQ), that was good
Love The Lunar Chronicles!!
Awh Hunger Games brings back so many memories!!
"...and everyone who defends the Darkling can choke, so..."
me: finally, a man with sense
"The TV show is trash." PREACHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When you held up red queen I spit out my tea 😂😂
I low key love Red Queen-
Me too. Mare was so annoying in the 2nd book and the majority of the 3rd book.
“I just love the series so much and the Shadowhunter tv show is trash” me
I adore TMI, but I feel like the only one who really didn’t like TID. I just had a way harder time connecting with any of the characters, so I guess that combined with my general aversion to historical fiction outweighed my love for shadowhunters?

I completely and totally forgot about The Hunger Games like whutttttt 😂 Haven't read it or seen the films for years.
Omg watch the extended editions of LOTR RIGHT NOW, because they are SO bloody amazing. I'm finally reading LOTR and I'm currently reading Two Towers!

I liked Percy Jackson when I was younger, but then I tried to reread them and all the characters seem to have the exact same sense of humour and voice and it annoyed me
dude can i say i appreciate your thumbnails. they're all clean & simple and not LOOK AT ME THIS IS WHAT MY VIDEO ABOUT which is super refreshing. your content is like my favorite thing on youtube keep doing you!
DA FUCK I WAS SHOOK WHEN HE HELD RED QUEEN UP.!!!!!!!! I was so shocked for a second 😂😂😂
I have not read The Mortal Instruments and I don't know if I will ever read it. I tried the first book but I couldn't get past the first chapter without getting bored.
I felt that. Opening up with a club scene is kind of unrelatable, especially if it's not your scene (and I know it's not mine.)

I really want to get into it, but it didn't grip me like coming back to Harry Potter post highschool did.
My heart literally dropped when you held up Red Queen 😂
Omg thank you for liking the lunar chronicles I’ve seen so many people hate on them but they are so good!!
I adore these type of videos! whenever I look for someone new on booktube to subscribe to I always look for these videos because they make it super easy to understand if I have the same interests in stories as the youtuber that I’m watching and as soon as you said the first two I didn’t even realized it, I just clicked on the subscribe button. And of course, I was sold with acotar and tid. Well guess who’s going to marathon your videos!
I like red queen but it’s also one of the first books I read so idk. I can’t remember it that well but I was a little obsessed with Maven.
I can't believe you became my favorite booktuber in ONE (1) video. what a legend.
I literally joined your chanel like a day ago and been binge watching, and I know ABSOLUTELY nothing about your favourite anything but when you *held up Red Queen* I full on frowned and scrolled to the comments to see that a lot of others had the same response, and was pleasantly relieved when you unveiled Harry Potter.
My favorite books are Monument 14 (my no.1) and The Lockwood & Co. Series
L&CO IS SO UNDERRATED JONATHAN STROUD CAME TO MY SCHOOL AND SIGNED MY COPY OF THE SCREAMING STAIRCASE AND WE TALKED ABOUT HARRY POTTER AND IT WAS GREAT
YES LOCKWOOD & CO. IS THE BEST
“We March to the capitol at dawn” I’m right there with you
"That book was so good.Even tho I forgot 99% of what happened"
I can relate LOL
Same...but then I listened to the audiobooks for harry potter starting with the last and going backwards and IM IN LOVE all over again. I love these characters and this world so much please try the audiobooks
9:47 You give me anxiety
9:50 You cured my anxiety
I've watched the extended editions way more times than any human should - hours of my life I'll never get back 😭
OMFG THE EXTENDED EDITIONS OF LOTR ARE SOOO MUCH BETTER i love them so much
9:17 they had a photo of tessa in season 1
Zeynep Kosebalaban the picture they had of her was so terrible! Like how hard could it have been to get a picture of a brunette??
I love so many of these series too! I'm also currently in the middle of watching all the Lord of the Rings movies, and I love all the extended versions too. The characters and stories are super awesome, and I really want to read the books some time!
The Hunger Games is my favorite! Mockingjay is my favorite although I do agree that it was really rushed.
Shadow and bone is so good! But I love the darkling SO MUCH as a villain haha
That Harry Potter reveal was what I had subscribed this channel for...🤘🏻
The fake-out at the end was awesome. This is why I love your videos, you have such a freaking great sense of humour.
I literally reminded like 5 times at the reveal of the last one because it just amuses my sleep deprived brain so much.
Oh wow i genuinely got bamboozled when you held up red queen
I fell on the ground and died when you held up Red Queen😂😂😂😂
EVEN THOUGH I PERSONALLY LOVE RED QUEEN I WAS SO SHOCKED WHEN U HELD IT UP AND I LAUGHED SO HARD WHEN YOU WERE LIKE WHO DO YOU THINK I AM
Omg, I’m shook that you love Cinder. It was one of my first novels and loved ittt.
I’m on the Percy Jackson series and am on book 4, when I’m done I’m going to read, not all, but probably the first few couple of Books in the assassins blade series
The fact you're not going to read the rest of Rick Riordans books for more Percy upsets me
I love so many of your choices. I still need to read acotar, shatter me, infernal books . Not interested in mortal instruments. And I agree Hunger Games is timeless ! 😍 I’m currently reading Lunar books and Im So behind everyone 😅
Glad someone agrees the Shadowhunters tv show is garbage. I die a little inside when someone says it's better than the books!
Abby Marcum who tf says the show is better than the books...?! Mate, kill those Monsters, begone beasts!!! Geez the show is just garbage how can someone watch 10min of it without cringe. AND HOW CAN SOMEONE WATCH THE WHOLE THING AND SAY ITS BETTER THAN THE BOOKS. THEY WOKE JOCELYN UP AFTER LIKE 1 TRY AND THEN THEY KILLED HER. WHO. THE. SNACK. DOES THAT?? AND WHO THINKS THATS OKAY????!
Nymarya and don't like how she romanticizes abusive relationships and turned incest (or pseudo-incest if you want to be technical) into a kink.
I think the show and the books both have their strengths and weaknesses, it just depends on who you ask.
i definitely agree that the books are far better than the tv show (aside from the weird incest stuff) but the show has gotten far better than it was in season one and ultimately i am so glad i watched it as i might not have ever read the books otherwise.
Thank you so much for this video! It inspired me to make my own even though I'm not a booktuber
Lol I agree with you 1000% about ToG. I do love the series but it took me a long time to pick up her other books after that lol
OMG! I'm so with you on the Darkling! I was so surprised when I read the books and then found out that people liked him! HOW.
I love Harry Potter, but even j.k. Rowling said if she’d had more time she’d have edited and changed some things in the last three. However I do love the fantastic beasts series of movies.
*sees the selection series in the back there* YASSSSS
The entire time I was like HARRY POTTER , but like in the end when he was holding red queen I was like god why and then SUPRISE :D
I CHOKED WHEN I SAW RED QUEEN FOGMMF
I just started the lunar Chronicles!! I'm so late but I get to binge the entire series :)
OMG do you know that a 4th book is coming in the Shatter Me seris?! It's called Restore Me and it's coming out in March! I'M soooo excited! Shatter Me is one of my favorite series!
Yessss TID is my absolute favourite series I looooove it so so so much
