me: I'm gonna read sooo many books during quarantine
my *short* reading slump: honey, you've got a big storm coming
Me
If “reading” we mean “binge watching Jane the virgin” 🤣
Charlotte Ruth SAME 😩
@@Sky-fz7ku omg that s what im doing, watching Jane the Virgin :))))
instablaster.
Me: let’s browse UA-cam
Hailey: posting everyday
Me: ok...amen.
i've never related to the title more, reading is literally the only thing that's keeping me sane during self quarantine
SusReads same!!
Same I’ve read more books in the last two weeks than I did last year
Well nice to see you here 😉😂
@@kerrythebibliophile1103 oh hello hahah :))
Omg yes
I understand that Carry On is not for everyone, mostly because the plot starts out slow. But if you give it about 150 pages, it gets a loooooooot better!!!!
Wolf O'Brien i love carry on sooooo much
Wolf O'Brien i didnt really love the ending
@@snowwhite8143 of Carry On or of Wayward Son?
100%. I couldn’t get into it but once you get over that hill, you can’t put it down
Wolf O'Brien i dont really like carry on or wayward son bur i loved reading fangirl and the small snippets in it
I know Carry On isn't for everyone, and I definitely almost DNF'd it myself. But I powered through, fell in love with the story and have been obsessed with it ever since!
Ikr , it took me awhile to get through the first 100 pages, the beginning was very slow but then I kinda forced myself to go on and finished the rest in two sittings
@@lisak8492 yesss I had the exact same! After those first 100 pages it gets wayy better
It's my favorite book of all time after my first time reading it! I agree tho that it doesn't work for everyone.
I DNF’d it once and then went back like four years later and finally read it. Definitely understood why I DNF’d it the first time, but I am so glad I pushed through because I really really enjoyed it in the end!
Kenzie Moore Same!
Hailey: *talks about 5 books in about 20 mins*
Also Hailey: *talks about all the books in an entire library in 20 mins*
What sorcery is this?!
That introduction made me imagine that you were addressing the aliens for when they finally come down and discover UA-cam
😂
AHHHHH i'm so happy carry on is on this list. it's true, the beginning is kinda slow, but it gets SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!!!! and baz is my whole life haha
SusReads YASSS BAZZZZ >>>>>
IKRR THEY'RE SO CUTE AJDBJD
YES the minute baz shows up it gets better!
I LOVE BAZ AND SIMON THEY'RE THE CUTEST
Me: I'm gonna read alot of books in this quarantine
Online classes: I'm about to kill her whole damn career.
Man I was free but suddenly my school bombarded me with tons of home work and online classes. And the due date Is 10 April. 😭
And my motivation level is zero.
Palak jain me too omg😭
I have exams 💀
My due date is tomorrow and I have 20 assignments.
@@exphoricxashes7154 you got this. We kids are experts at completing our work at the last minute even when we need to lose our sleep and all the brain cells 😂
This is so relatable it's sad
Hailey, what about your April TBR? 20 books from that and 48 from here! I admire your confidence!😂😂
This isn’t a tbr, more like a dream list 😂
@@HaileyinBookland Lol. That explains it😂
omg Persuasion is so good, I think it’s underrated as hell. It’s the sweetest story about two people who got separated but never really stopped loving each other and then stumble into each other’s company again and!!!! It’s so beautiful. I think you’ll love it. It goes by really quick, I read it in a day.
I GASPED when she picked up carry on and said she might unhaul it. READ IT IT’S ONE OF MY FAVORITES
Yess I AGREE!
about Carry On: I listened to the audiobook and it was great! the beginning is kind of slow, but wow it is worth it! the characters are everything!
Get past the first 100 pages and Carry On is incredible! I was so underwhelmed until about page 200 but even then I still enjoyed it. It just becomes a 5 star read around that time. Push through because it really pays off!!
I live in the Netherlands and we have been in "quarantine" since the beginning of March. I used to work full time 5 days a week. Have an internship 1 day a week and go to school every other Saturday. So.. I used to be busy 7 days was week. Now.. My workplace is closed. School is closed. Internship canceled.
Reading books and watching booktubers are the only thing keeping me sane and going. My tbr consist of over 50 books now too.
Keep the content going Hailey! I love your vids and need them now more then ever.
You deserve a break!😂
@@emmasanders8480 lol yeah 😂
Disney readathon!!! Yes please!! I LOVE Disney! ❤️
Edit: please read Kingdom of Ash, it was such a great ending! She really did a wonderful job concluding everyone storylines. And Crescent City is really great too! I had a lot of fun with it!
Thank you so much, Hailey, for thinking about us in the "front row" in these Corona times - it means a lot 🙏❤️ again, thank you for a absolutely lovely video. Love it! 📚
THE CHARACTERS IN CARRY ON ARE EVERYTHINGGGG trust me u will not regret reading it
I would recommend rereading Empire of Storms before Kingdom of Ash, rather than Tower of Dawn. The information you need before going into KoA is found more in EoS than ToD.
Ava Paull I agree but there was also some info you find out in ToD
Dollface147 That’s true, but SJM does a pretty good job filling you in in KoA. Personal preference, I suppose.🤷♀️
I'm re-reading Carry On by listening to the audiobook. Also, a really whimsical fairytale to try would be East of the Sun and West of the Moon. The heroine is so strong!
East of the Sun, West of the Moon is one of my favorite fairy tales! It also has some amazing retellings, including East (and its sequel West) by Edith Pattou.
nerdtastic2014 Mine too, and East is my favorite book!💙
Am I the only one who's terrified of big books??
I am too
Same. I can only read these as eBooks because then I don't know how big they actually are😂😂
Nope. I am for sure
I used to be, it wasn’t really until KOA came out when i realised I could get through them
I am attracted to big books
The carry on audiobook is really good if you’re feeling stuck just reading it!
Omg your bookshelf is so aesthetically pleasing.
Oh my gosh yes, you should really read Carry On! One of my all time favorites!
Started reading IT by Stephen King last vacation and still reading
Gone with the Wind is my dad's absolute favorite book, like he has probably reread it a hundred times. I've been working through it for over a year. We love talking about it but I have to break it up with other books of different genres or I burn out. It is a really good story!
I'm currently reading Anna K. and I'm also enjoying it. There's a lot of drama, and it follows multiple characters at once, but it's not so much that it's impossible to follow along their drama.
I want to read Sanderson! I have a sample of Skyward on my Nook to read, but I haven't started it yet.
I have a sample of Ember in the Ashes too.
I loved what I read of Caraval! I haven't finished it yet because I want to get the hardcover boxed set that we have at my store.
There are so so so many books on your list that I have on my TBR!😆
after the first 100 pages it’s really good, the pace picks up and a lot happens. pretty much as soon as baz makes his entrance is when everything gets good.
"Anna karenina" my crush reccomended that book
And it's rally big and frightening ahaha
Love your videos hailey💕💕💕💕
And your hair look amazing
Thank you! 🥰
It's on my TBR for 3 years. 😋😋
Is it just me of the arc of scythe series just popping on her shelves?!🤣
It's a very catching cover I literally walked into the book aisle just to read what it was about. My secret Santa that year got it for me ironically
So nice to see Hailey's smile during these tough times
Is nobody going to talk about how pretty Hailey looks???
Gone with the Wind is my favorite book of all time. It’s a beautiful masterwork that everyone will love. I read carry on finally a few months ago and really struggled to get through it. Don’t feel bad!
As for Carry On, it's an amazing book that i do too think you'll love! But the beginning is quite hard to get through, the first 120 pages are kinda boring, but after that it's absoluetly amazing. So if you wanna read that, I would advise to power through the beginning.
Your classic TBR is fantastic!!
Yes, I heard Carry On is not for everyone. I also felt this was a strange thing during the beginning of the book, but there was this one point in the story that changed everything and I am HOOKED FOR LIFE. Happy reading 🤗
Gone with the Wind is ALSO one of my favorite books of all time & it is... excellent. Truly one of the most vivid & engrossing novels I’ve ever read. It’s challenging in many ways, but wow is it so worth it. I truly can not recommend it enough. Your friend has good taste! & I’ve also heard that the audiobook is fantastic. I started to read a chapter a night/little by little until I got absolutely obsessed. The characters are so singular & unique & flawed. Ah! I could go on forever. Please pick it up!
I haven’t read Gone With the Wind but my friend recommended it to me. She said even though it’s huge, it’s simple writing and pretty easy to get through
I agree, I read it when I was a teenager and I just devoured it. It doesn't feel super long.
I totally recommend “Gone with the Wind”. It’s really worth the time. Rhett is the best.
for Carry On, you have to push through the first 150 pages and then it gets better (basically the book starts the pick up when Baz arrives). I've read the book about 2-3 times and I usually listen to the audiobook for the first 150 and then read the rest physically. The author even admitted that the first 150 were kind of boring but necessary for the story lol
I love Wuthering Heights, the story is so crazy!
Ninth house is so good!! The first 100-150 pages were so difficult for me to get through and I feel like many people had the same experience. But after that, it couldn’t put it back down!
I'm finally tackling the Shadowhunters books because of quarantine. I hadn't read any of Cassandra Clare's books before, but I'm on City of Glass and enjoying the story! 😊
Anna Karenina and Gone with the Wind are amazing. Definitely bucket list books and ones you should read!
I’ve actually been able to read a lot over this quarantine phase, which has been really nice! I finally read Six of Crows, and I’m halfway through Crooked Kingdom now!
being stuck inside brings more time for reading!! I have so many books on my tbr I'm going to try to get to during this quarantine
Literally using lockdown as an excuse to buy myself new books 😏
Cheer Ads ikr I’m ordering books off amazon every 2 days
I dont have any money 😭
Same experience with Mistborn. It took me a year to finish it in between other books but I just did because of the quarantine. Hopefully you'll read it!
I bought the book two years ago and never picked it up till this quarantine, I just really wanted to read it but I was overwhelmed by the size, and English isnt my first language so I was scared I wouldn't be able to finish it, but I said fuck it and finally picked it up two weeks ago and I loved it sm
@@lisak8492 Glad you liked it! I did too but I don't see myself continuing with the series.
@@xyhanx kinda same because
*SPOILERS*
I'm gonna miss kelsier so much😞
And also I didn't know they will defeat the lord ruler in the first book... what will the plot be in the second one? I'm intrigued but also confused because it felt like a standalone book.
@@lisak8492 What I can remember is that the Lord Ruler in the 1st book was a fraud named Rashek. He stole the true Lord Ruler's position. Did you miss that part or I need to recheck what I read? 🤣
@@xyhanx what I got from it is that Rashek IS the lord ruler, the hero of ages was supposed to save the world from the deepness and be granted a power (that I think might just be allomancy itself) and Rashek got jealous and hated him so he took the power for himself, so that's why he was both a Feruchemist AND an allomancer.
And also, what he said to vin, that he is their God whether they want it or not or something like that, I guess by killing him they released the threat of the deepness again and I guess that's what they're going to fight against in the next book (I hope I dont sound dumb and end up being completely wrong)
I just got Part of your world and Conceal, don't feel in the mail and I cannot wait at all!
Don't sleep on Steinbeck. I think I've heard 1 person mention him in the 8 years I've been watching booktube. Easy to digest and a lot of his books are short.
oh my god!! I am so glad you might finally pick up GONE WITH THE WIND!! It is my favourite book ever, ever since I read it when I was in class 6. It's been almost a decade now and I still love this book! The movie is also amazing!
I like that your bookshelves are organized by color.
Great stack of books there! Go for a chunky one- you can do it! No time like the present. Gone With The Wind is very good and immersive. Good luck! Thanks for the videos!
A Tale of Two Cities was the first book I read of 2020 and it was so hard to read so I listened to the audiobook while reading the physical copy. I gave it 4 stars though!
😂Quarantine is my routine sadly but I am just getting more done. My mum is a personal support worker she helps senior in the area 😍 never been so proud. We haven't been hit by the virus. There is cases in my home town, staying safe. Disney is therapy right now it works watch onward you will love it.
I just finished reading The Handmaid's Tale. It is so good! I've actually been working on Lewis Carrol's collected works during quarantine. I've had the pink Barnes and Noble classic edition for years but have only managed to get through Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass so far. So I'm finally diving back in and reading more of the stories.
I saw your Grimm brothers classic book and I was like "I HAVE THAT!"
I really want to read Mistborn but I'm scared I won't be able to get into it because of how dense I hear it is. Also, you HAVE to get to the Last Magician! My favorite read of the year so far, I can't recommend it enough.
Haily, When you were growing up did you ever read any of S.E. Hinton’s books like The Outsiders, or That Was Then This Is Now? She was a great author to read when I was growing up.
JessBookgirlTV The Outsiders is one of my favourites 😍
Cheer Ads Erh I hated the Outsider’s. I mean it’s great that so many people like it but I do not. Probably because we had to read it for school and that sucks. Idk I just really really hated it 😂
You've had The Handmaid's tale in your tbr since I started watching your channel like, three years ago xD Pleaaaaase, read it, the Tv show is soo good!
I have read 15 books and reread 4 and that’s all that is entertaining me during this. I read the first Percy Jackson and the Olympians book in 5th grade and i am now a junior in high school finishing Percy Jackson and the olympians, hero’s of Olympus, trials of Apollo and Magnus chase in 3 weeks
I’m an essential worker in retail, but aside from going to work(which I feel like I’ve been working way more, when really I’ve been working the same. My days off have just been split) I’ve been staying home, which honestly has been difficult 😄
I think Uprooted is a retelling of a lesser known fairy tale! But I LOVED Spinning Silver so I hope you read it regardless of whether or not you like Uprooted :)
Gone with the wind is one of my favourite books of all time, I just couldn t stop reading it once I got in to it.
I've got the A Whole New World, Once Upon a Dream (my fav) and As Old As Time from the Disney's Twisted Tales!
I just read Carry on & Wayward Son! I loved both and used the app Libby since all I need is a library card to access my local library’s collection :)
Anna Karenina is amazing, I just finished it! aaaah I love fairytales 😍
A Tale of Two Cities is also on my tbr!
those are exactly the 3 books by Jane Austen I still need to read to 🙈
YES read Mistborn please!!
happy reading 💙
OMG, yes you must read Gone With the Wind!!! One of the best characters in literature, Scarlet is so flawed and also so ahead of her time...an amazing saga!
The audiobooks of the Ember in the Ashes books are FANTASTIC! I’d recommend reading them that way. That’s how I read book 2 and 3 and loved them.
Hailey, War and Peace is one more page than Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix.
and 100 times more boring. (just my opinion, don't come for me)
Wow, I hate looking at the books I haven’t read myself and need to read 😂 Good job at attempting to get your head around your books! I feel overwhelmed for you. Good luck!
I absolutely adored Graceling and the rest of the books in the trilogy! Don't unhaul it, it's truly worth a read ❤
Aurora Burning is quite an interesting book. Please give it a try! I also didn't think I would like it and kept putting it off however, after I got started on it I couldn't stop and finished it in a week. It's such a great book and the further you read the better it gets.
Gone with the Wind is one of those large books that you just fly through I reckon. I really enjoyed it.
first about 100 pages of Carry On is slow to get through but thw story is AMAZING!! you just have to give it a lil push at first,, and Baz is amazing
I recently read Leviathan and love it. Such an easy and fluid read. Hope you enjoy it
I read War and Peace last summer and it was phenomenal. I know it's very big and quite the effort but it's so worth it. The same for Anna Karenina
I read/listened to tower of dawn and kingdom of ash last October and I really enjoyed the experience. I did what you were saying at the begging of the video and read along as I listened. It made me focus more on the story and more impressed in the books. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the finale book and I believe in you for reading at least one of these books. Also I love your content so thank you for sharing it
I have been loving your hair lately in your recent videos!!!!! I also just want to say that you are such an inspiration to me in my daily life. Just keep being you and don’t let what anyone says change you!!!!❤️❤️
Just wanted to thank you for acknowledging that not everyone is getting extra free time. As a stay at home mom of two little ones, I still have next to no free time, except now we all have cabin fever too! It’s been a little frustrating to hear so many people complaining about how bored they are with soooooo much free time... if I had the opportunity to read all day, I would be THRILLED! So it’s nice to hear someone acknowledging that self-isolating doesn’t equal an abundance of free time for everyone. I hope you’re able to get to a lot of these books while you’re stuck at home!
I’m reading Anna Karenina right now because I got Anna K from my botm sub lol! Another thing I’ve noticed about his books, not only is the font small, but the chapters don’t start on the next page! There’s no blank space! It just keeps going and going 😂
Yay, Astrid Lindgren! Here in Sweden I don't know anyone who doesn't know more or less all of her stories (at least all of the classic ones) but trying to explain her impact to my friends once I moved to England was... difficult ("She's on our money!") Though I definitely do love the classic ones - Pippi, Emil, Barnen i Bullerbyn, Karlsson and so on - my absolute favourites are the ones that not a lot of people have heard of - Allrakäraste syster, Mirabell, Skinn Skeping. I don't know how many of her stories have been translated (most of them, I assume), but I would honestly recommend any and every one of them
currently also reading carry on right now! glad i finally picked it up --sometimes thick books just really seem overwhelming
I'm on my third week of quarantine and have read almost 5 books. I have to admit though, I had already read 2/3 of one of the books, but I felt so accomplished when I finished it because I have been struggling with it for so long 😅 Anyways, it's nice to have more time to read and get a routine of reading again 😍
This video is probably my favorite outfit of yours! I love your headband and shirt so much.
if you like historical fiction and Dickens writing then i think you will really like both those two you selected. Tale of Two Cities is one of my all time favorites.
A Disney reads readathon sounds so much fun!!
winter of the world was a really good addition to the Century trilogy and I strongly suggest you read it. personally, I'm now struggling with picking up the last one because that is a running theme here it seems...
I just want to say thank you so much for all the videos you’re putting up! I know it must be a lot of work so I just want to say that I’ve definitely been enjoying them!
I'm trying to emerse myself into the Kingdom of Back by Marie Lu. It seems to be working until my depression makes me go back to sleep
Carry On definitely starts out slow, but right when I made it to the second part of the book I fell in love with it. I also made my friends read the book and they all love it a lot too.
I was probably one of the last people to watch Gone with the Wind. It has been so long though that I don't really remember it that well. I do remember thinking that I loved it and why did I wait so long to watch it. I have never read the book though. Good Luck with your reading!
So I have a the fear of big books as well but I started doing audio and physical read. That way you can do housework or whatever while listening and pick up the book when just chilling around the house! Try that it helps so much you’ll get through it so much faster.
Hope that helps
I almost always read along with the audiobook. It helps me feel much more immersed in the story. I couldn't put Ninth House down! I'm doing the read-along through the month of April for Aurora Rising. The authors will do a q&a every week on Insta, so that sounds fun. Happy reading!
I feel you because I really want to read Crescent City but the only book I’ve read by Sarah J. Maas is the first Throne of Glass and I feel kind of guilty because I haven’t even read Crown of Midnight 😬
I have the Penguin classics edition of War and Peace and it's 1350+ pages!. A friend gifted it to me and I've never gotten around to reading it because, duh, 1350+ pages. The sheer commitment!!. But now I think I'm gonna
You've got some great books lined up! Also you look fantastic today, and I love that shirt. Thanks so much for all the content lately, I'm loving it. Also I think your videos are the one that my dog likes best.
Leviathan by Westerfield is SO GOOD and has one of my fave tropes.
Yess you're one of the only things that keeps me sane In this time. Love you and your videos♥️♥️
I swear your channel is one of the only things keeping me sane (besides books and video games) during quarantine, thank you SO MUCH for the content 💕
idea- MAYBE you should do a video about reading some sequels. like do sequels that are above a certain amount of pages or under a certain amout? idk. i think that would be cool to watch in my opinion.
For Mistborn you might want to try the audiobook. I don't know about the English one but I definitely enjoyed the German one a lot.
And don't worry I'm still stuck with Tower of dawn and instead I started again at the beginning with the Assassins Blade.
