      I've read 3. Fire, graceling and perks of being a wallflower.
      Fire and graceling are some of my favorite books. But I wasn't to fond off perks of being a wallflower.
      There are others on this list that I have on my TBR though

    Too many, so many good standalones. I love all your books you mention, there are so many great ones!
    I love The Book Thief, Between Shades of Gray, Eliza and Her Monsters, You Bring the Distance Near, The Astonishing Color of After, When Dimple Met Rishi, Allegedly, You're Welcome Universe, etc etx etx

    There's so many great standalone titles you list here, and really, I'm hoping to see an uptick in standalone YA titles, particularly in YA Fantasy. I have a hard time in following series that take awhile between each book being published, so it's nice to have a story contained within a single volume. :)

    Sorry this isn't a book related question, but, what's the lipstick you have on in this video? It looks good on you, and my best friend's skin tone is similar to yours, so I want to gift it to her.

  • @elizabediza
    @elizabediza 4 роки тому +7

    I really LOVED graceling but was definitely disapointed by fire. I couldn't finish it and it made me not want to read bitterblue. The characters seemed so much less deep and the story wasn't as interesting. What was great about graceling was the character connections which fire really lacked.

  • @brittanysmith7183
    @brittanysmith7183 4 роки тому +1

    If you love A Thousand Nights, you should read The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh. It isn't a standalone. The second book is called The Rose and the Dagger, but it's also a retelling of A Thousand and One Arabian Nights. I absolutely loved it!!!

    It’s been so long since I’ve read Graceling and Fire! I really liked both, though I generally prefer Graceling if I had to pick one. And I also quite enjoyed The Sun is Also a Star! I thought it was so well done. And Fangirl was delightful, and still my favorite Rowell read!

    yesss i absolutely loved everyday! i understand the reactions of the underwhelmed but like you said the concept and the writing were both so personally captivating to me. i think it was something about how existential it all was. i borrowed it from the school library before i even knew it was gonna be a movie (that i didn’t watch 😂) but i definitely need my own copy for my collection 😩

    I really loved Every Day as well. The follow up (Any Day) was such a disappointing, though.
    Turtles All the Way Down was very good. I was very disappointed by The Fault in Our Stars, but Turtles... was really good.
    The Hate U Give has been on my TBR for ages. I hope to get around to it in 2020.
    Fangirl was such a fun read!
    I enjoyed this video, might look into some of the books I haven't read.

    Omg, about every day by David Levithan, I really liked the book and yeah, I thought the ending was sad, but for once, it didn't keep me from really liking it and trust me, I saw the movie and it was really well done, it's worth it, there are even some things that I preferred in the movie ;) I'm usually very critical about book-to-movie adaptations, but I liked that one

    So i ve read everyday and i ve wached the movie and i prefer the movie because i ve hated A in the book like i didn t understand the romance and i though he was a bit toxic cause he was always talking about what he feel without asking himself if the girl like him too and also the moment when he was in the body of a fat person was really body shaming him wich made me feel so bad
    Also i ve read fangirl, i did like it cause you know i ve felt so related with cath ( i write fanfiction and i have a cousin that have the same age and some years ago she started having new friends and all those stuff and i was so sad and then my bestie has a very special character, she's like the rommate of cath
