    Omg I love you Hailey I am a total bookworm I get bullied at school about it but after school I go on your channel and I literally forget about them for an hour.

      I am so sorry you have to live through school life where people get bullied for reading it makes no sense! Did my high school in past decade i.e.00s and earlier part of 2010s and reading was more like badge of honour

    My no.1 underrated YA book is "I am the Messenger" by Markus Zusak. Everyone knows The Book Thief, but I feel like they don't really heard about his other books and I am the Messenger is just as good as The Book Thief!
    Also "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller. I just love this book, the relationship in it is so beautiful, it killed me... everyone should read this!

    how I watch like every booktube Video:
    listen what you're saying about the book.
    Searching the german name of the book.
    Then I look in the Website of the local library if it's there.
    And when there's a book which actually is in german and in my library I'm reaaally happy (sry for bad english)

    Yes, Scythe! When I finished this book I was just blown away. It's sooo good and the plot is really unique. Can't wait for a next book.

  • @BeautywithFlavia
    @BeautywithFlavia 7 років тому +21

    You should read You by Caroline Kepnes! It's soooo good! Deff my favorite read! I'm in love with it! It's sooo underrated and it's been made into a show currently. It's told in second person perspective and it's about this guy who's basically a pyschopath named Joe and falls completely in love with this girl named Beck! But seriously it's SOOO good!

    • @TheeKookyWildflower
      @TheeKookyWildflower 7 років тому +3

      You is a fine read. I didn't care for its sequel, Hidden Bodies, as it completely sways from the character's personality into ridiculous territory.

  • @sapphireblue6668
    @sapphireblue6668 6 років тому

    I don't know if it's just me but I am so obssessed with this channel. I mean, just looking at books that I haven't seen yet, it's like a new opportunity for me. I really love your channel, Hailey. The criticism and the love you give for the books you have is very helpful and sharing your appreciation of books to the world convinces me that I definitely can relate to you.

  • @seriouslythisisjust
    @seriouslythisisjust 7 років тому +1

    yesss Gemma Doyle and His Fair Assassin
    some other underrated or lesser known books on my shelf are the Queen's Thief Trilogy by Megan Whalen Turner, The Memoirs of Lady Trent by Marie Brennan, The Farsala Trilogy by Hilari Bell, The Bloody Jack Adventures by L. A. Meyer, The Chronicles of Faerie by O. R. Melling, everything by Patricia A. McKillip... and probably a lot more that I can't think of right now

  • @p33kab00cm

    @emilyyoung7188 7 років тому +1

    I know that this series was popular a while ago, but I've hardly heard anyone talk about the Unbecoming of Mara Dyer series in a while
    I read them a few months ago and absolutely flew through them because they were so amazing!! 😍😍

  • @gabriellebenoit8750
    @gabriellebenoit8750 7 років тому

    Hailey!! I read "The Female of the Species" because of you and omg I cannot stop thinking about it. I'm going to give you a recommendation, as I read this right after TFOTS and it left a similar imprint on my mind and heart. Try "Every Last Word." It involves poetry and OCD. Hope you enjoy!

  • @valeriecramer5172
    @valeriecramer5172 7 років тому

    The Gemma Doyle Trilogy yessss!!!!! I first read a great and terrible beauty as a teenager when it first came out (must be like 12 or so years now, yikes) and I followed the series through. To this day they remain my favorite books of all time and I've actually been planning a reread because it's been a while. So happy to hear someone talking about these books! You're right that they don't seem to get enough attention.

    The host by Stephenie Meyer is so underrated and I love that book! So much better than the twilight saga! And so before it's time, it was dystopian before they became popular!

    I'm planning on re-reading the Gemma Doyle trilogy within the next couple of months. I made it halfway through The Sweet Far Thing before I got overwhelmed by the amount I was reading at the time. It's been 10 years, and I can't wait to get back into that story.

  • @ReadingMissFroggy
    @ReadingMissFroggy 7 років тому +1

    Some that I really love that I feel are underrated are indeed The Crown's Game (Evelyne Skye), Born Wicked (Jessica Spotswood), Starcrossed (Josephine Angelini), Insignia (S.J. Kincaid), Die for Me (Amy Plum), Air Awakens (Elise Kova) and Insomnia (J.R. Johansson). Just naming a few, I have tons xD

I have currently read the incarnate trilogy and now I'm reading the eon duology which I can't put it down

  • @sakurahan91
    @sakurahan91 7 років тому

    Congrats for the 100 subscriptions! That's awesome :). A book that doesn't get as much hype as it should on my shelves is definitely A Discovery Of Witches by Deborah Harkness! It's my favourite book and I don't feel like people talk about it much :(.

    "Jellicoe Road" by Melina Marchetta!!!!! This is a beautiful book. You go through a roller coaster of emotions reading it. I was actually surprised by how many people have never heard of this writer! I went on a binge & read all her books earlier this year and Jellicoe was my favorite

    the gemma doyle trilogy has been on my radar for soooo long haha I finally need to read it. I think the valiant, a list of cages, the bone season, falling kingdoms & my sister rosa are very underhyped. hahaha that book with the deaf main character and graffiti really reminded me of switched at birth

    Cute video - loved all the suggestions! Some books that I feel are underrated reads are actually 2 different series. The first one is the Under the Never Sky trilogy by Veronica Rossi and the other is the Shatter Me series by Taherah Mafi. I absolutely ADORE the writing style, characters, and strong world building in both!!

    The 100 series! I know that the show is very popular, but the book's are amazing too, in my opinion at least. They have had some mediocre reviews, but I personally thought the plot, writing and characters were all great, and the books deserve as much hype as the show.
