    I'm a watcher not really an engager but just wanted to let you know you're my favorite booktuber. I was watching a booktube queue on the living room tv when my husband sat down to watch. Your video came up and he said Wow, she actually tells you about the book real quick (versus the previous book videos). I told him that's because you're an amazing booktuber! Lots of other booktubers, who I really like, struggle a lot with explaining a book in like a minute without any spoilers. You do such a fantastic job of this! So thank you for all that you do!

    I've finished rereading Deathly Hallows five minutes ago, and wow. Reading and rereading Harry Potter is such an amazing experience, and...the feels. Always.

    I'm currently 105 pages into City Of Thieves and only put it down when I saw the notification on my phone for this video :') It's SO GOOD!!!!

    I love so much that HP still made the list, even though it was a re-read :)

  • @Madika92
    @Madika92 8 років тому +4

    I came to the conclusion that you're my favourite booktuber ever. The way you talk about books is very ... intelligent? idk, but i get a feeling that I'm listening to a very smart person. And the one who can appreciate something fun. Also how you love fantasy. Your taste in books (out of all booktube) comes closest to mine. When you praise a book i know I'm going to love it too! Plus, I'm from Russia and it kind of feels nice that you're interested in our history, just a bonus. Never change!)))

    I love how you associated rereading Harry Potter with feeling at home- you put my thoughts into words!

    People on Booktube are too generous with the stars

    • @CharlieBookFanatic
      @CharlieBookFanatic 8 років тому +2

      +Dux Votch I do agree with that! But people review books differently and they have a different explanation for the amount of stars they give. Last month I had 6 four star reads from the 11 books I read. I have a very detailed explanation for all of the ratings I give. Some months it just turns out like that and I think it's a good thing if you enjoy the books you read.

    • @inesribeiro8452
      @inesribeiro8452 8 років тому

      It is true for the most famous book tubers (not all of them, of course, but most). However, I think the not-so-well known book tubers tend to be less generous.

    • @ivingzuniga841
      @ivingzuniga841 8 років тому

      Agree. Specially the most well known youtubers.

    • @catsandbooks4447
      @catsandbooks4447 8 років тому +4

      +Dux Votch I always feel the other way around, they are always kind of tough in my opinion

    • @carlykerr9801
      @carlykerr9801 8 років тому +14

      I could be totally wrong but, I think it depends on why you read books, I find that lots of people who review books are reading the books looking for flaws where as book tubers seem to read them looking for good parts.

    @hannahbright6276 8 років тому

    @shyyn33 8 років тому

    Whenever i dont know what to read or when im just too busy to read or when i just want to read....i read Harry Potter LOOL. I recently just got into the HP audiobooks and they are the most amazing things ever. I listen to Jim Dale when im on the bus, when i'm pooping, when im cooking, when im sleeping, just anywhere everywhere, and it's AMAZING. Jim Dale is such a great narrator too, and it's kind of a brand new experience to re-read/re-listen to the HP series by listening to it too, you should try it

  • @michelleli3373
    @michelleli3373 8 років тому

    I loved reading the entire Lunar Chronicles which I read for the first time, and within that series, Cress was definitely my favorite. I binge read the series in December and it felt so good to be reading so much!
    Carry On was wonderful as well. It's just really cutesy and interesting, as expected from a Rainbow Rowell book.

  • @kaitieskates
    @kaitieskates 8 років тому

    I've actually had a decent number of 5 star reads since December. So here are the highlights: Gil's All Fright Diner (please read anything and everything by A. Lee Martinez, it's all great), A Nameless Witch (same author, also hilarious), The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender, Finding Audrey, You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost), and This Song Will Save Your Life. An oddball collection for sure but a delightful few months of reading.

  • @rachelhesketh94
    @rachelhesketh94 8 років тому +1

    This past year I've honestly re-read the Harry Potter books over and over again about 3/4 times? I've been doing it via audiobook, and there's just something so addicting to it listening to it- I'll finish Deathly Hallows and then the next minute I can't decide what to listen to next whilst doing work so I'm like 'eehhh, lets just listen to Philosophers' Stone again!' I've JUST started my 5th(?) re-read/listen today and ahh it makes me so happy and at home and that I can constantly quote it in my head yet it doesn't get tiring or old! XD

    • @DontHaveaDegreeinReading

    But Harry in OOTP is... soooo angsty! That's the only thing I didn't really like about it hahah but well, he's going to puberty so I accept it!
    Absolutely love these kind of videos!

    • @heathernelson7291
      @heathernelson7291 8 років тому +1

      For me, it's Benioff. She says Benhoff every time. EVERY time. It's Ben-I-off. Not annoying enough to make me stop watching, though :)

    I think my favorit book so far this year must be ''Elantris'' by Brandon Sanderson.
    Last year's favorit was ''The name of the wind'', and I can't wait to read ''The wise mans fair'' next month!

  • @Sevan_Elevan
    @Sevan_Elevan 8 років тому

    Out of the 15 books I've read so far this year, my two favourites have been Truthwitch by Susan Dennard and Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli. Those books are absolutely amazing and I highly recommend them :)

    I had kinda of slumpy start to the year so i didn't really read a lot of books in the last 3 months except for Snow Like Ashes and Ice Like Fire by Sara Raasch and the book I am currently reading which is Morning Star by Pierce Brown. Anybody who hasn't read the Red Rising Trilogy, go do so now. It is freaking epic

    Is the kingkiller chronicle similar to the Earthsea cycle ?

    • @AdamSlagle
      @AdamSlagle 8 років тому

      +Momoko Nishino +PeruseProject It's fantasy, and it's the story of a famous man's life as told by him to a "chronicler", kind of a ghost writer. It doesn't have a normal story structure as it mainly follows his life, but Patrick Rothfus has a wonderful command of language. He obsesses over the right wording to use, and it shows. I've read a paragraph of his before and just taken a minute to savor the language he uses.

  • @bucherbuch2134
    @bucherbuch2134 8 років тому

    I really wanna read the Falling Kingdoms series, but I'm not sure yet if I want to read it in English or German, my native language. Would you say that it's easy to understand in English or does it contain many "difficult" words or complicated fantasy language? I'd love to hear your opinion about that, guys :)

    • @from26thefloor
      @from26thefloor 8 років тому

      Definitely the english one. It's not that complicated. If anything, it's quite simple and easy to follow.

    • @bucherbuch2134
