Hearing that Hailey wants to become an author is just amazing. Her debut book will definitely be amazing and win me over immediately!
Just because you can read doesn't mean you can write. I doubt it'll be good...
@@ollie1753 go away with your negative energy
@@ollie1753agreed.
@@ollie1753 like to see you do better
@@ollie1753 and you came up with that conclusion how?
hi haley! im 15 and starting to get into books so your channel has been my safe place lately. thank you & love you
Same!😭
same
Fr same 😭🫶
For real - the past few books that I’ve read were so good, so this channel has been great for me the past 2 months!
I got into booktok at around 15-16 so this is so cute to me, now im 21. welcome, you're stuck on this side now😊😂
Bro my perfectionism is so happy that you read an even number of books. Last year, that 69 really bugged me. 😅😅
That is not ocd
i read 77 books this year and my perfectionism is going 📈📈📈
noo i read 131 you’re about to make me speed read one 😭😭
69 is a cool number tho
@@kimygxx 😏
NO BOOK DOES ENEMIES TO LOVERS LIKE THE CRUEL PRINCE!! i genuinely have not read a romance subplot like them and i feel like i can never find any romance in that trope that makes me like they do. the angst, the hate but not one sided, the yearning AHHH. but also the plot and characterisation esp of jude is amazing. when i first read the series i was meh on the first book but recently i reread the series AND I ADORE THE FIRST BOOK NOW. so so good honestly after you understand all the characters and where the plot goes
read falling kingdoms. its the best enemies to lovers but its super slow its like 5 books i believe
the bridge kingdom is also a great ACTUAL enemies to lovers adult fantasy
I just finished the series and it was such a rollercoaster for me, a part of me just wishes there was at least a bit more romance ksjgnskj
@@melodyecho13 ofc but it’s kinda nice that it leaves you wanting more 🤭 i recommend reading the novella “how the king of elhame learned to hate stories” cos it’s in cardans pov and u get more of the romance!
@@rodsitamara omg I was debating whether or not I should read it because of how repetitive it might be, but I didn’t know it had more romance! Tysm for the recommendation 😭
Let’s take a moment to appreciate Haley’s patience for making this video:))
ikr i was waiting for this video for sooo long cuz i desperately needed book recommendations thank u sm
Percy Jackson is what got me into reading. The fandom was huge a couple years ago, but I think it’s dwindled down since Rick isn’t producing as many books anymore. But anyway, it definitely gets better in the third book.
Actually it’s getting reactive again. A new Disney plus adaptation is coming for Percy Jackson, there’s a new Nico di Angelo book coming in may, and a new original trio book coming in September!
omgs literally same!!
Im so excited for the star and the sun but im still waiting for the Hungarian version
I love Percy Jackson so much and I think it’s so good for people to try and get into reading!!❤
haley, you alone are the person who got me out of my 2 year reading slump. now watching your videos, i have discovered so many amazing books that have made me enjoy reading again. thanks so much for all of this!!!! 💕
Once upon a broken heart and the ballad of never after were probably my favourite reads of last year, they were just so magical
Would you need to read the caraval series before reading once upon a broken heart?
@@katherine9918 I read OUABH without reading caraval. People said that OUABH spoils the trilogy. But no, you don’t need to read the caraval. Unless you want to spoil it
It’s so funny how our yearly reading wrap up is so similar because I literally get all of my book recommendations from you 😂
I love your channel I’m so glad I found it. I’m so glad that you are truthful about the ratings.
Your videos got me back into reading!! I am now obsessed with reading! Keep up the good work!
I love her passion for reading. I used to be like that and I’ve recently been trying to get back into it. Life is too busy, but I’m trying to make time.
omg continue the infernal devices! the friendship between will and jem (and Tessa) really is what makes it one of my favourite series of all time, and the last book it has great potential to make you very emotional. I usually recommend people start with this series actually, because imo the mortal instruments isn't very good and can put people off of the world in general haha
Yes! This exactly. I read the infernal devices two years ago and I’m still not over it. Have you read Chain of Gold series by Cassandra Clare?
@@1975coucouTHE LAST HOURS ARE SOO GOOD !!! recommend all the way
@@florastevens863 oh. i was asking bc i read the last hours haha
@@1975coucou lol, it was so good thought right ?
@@florastevens863 yes but i felt the last book was underwhelming but maybe i just rly loved the second book
I just found out about Lynn Painter’s next YA book coming out next year in 2023. I’m so excited
There’s another one coming out?! I didn’t know, now I’m SUPER excited
@@purebubblyboba I think, I saw it on Lynn Painter’s website
@@ekate13 I just checked it I’m so excited now, just added it to my Goodreads :D
I literally finished The Queen of Nothing on the 30th of December (I devoured the series in like a week) and I literally felt hollow afterwards because I'd been so consumed by the plot that I didn't know what else to do with myself
SAME AF we went through it together :') The way I've been looking all over the internet searching for crumbs of Cruel Prince content cuz I don't feel complete and need MORE
@@melodyecho13 I literally read it and was sobbing. the way my jaw DROPPED as well- I was not expecting half of those twists.
and I guess I can read it again but I can never read it again for the first time which is so sad
I would actually sell my soul to read that trilogy for the first time again
@@beckitbeckit Fr omg. A part of me is excited for The Stolen Heir duology to come out but I heard Jude and Cardan aren't going to be in it much and now I'm emo all over again
I assume this reply message about winning is a fake one :{ as I see it on multiple messages here...
Ik I LOVE the Folk Of The Air series
I found your book videos this year and it reignited my love for reading - thank you! Looking forward to what you bring in 2023!
thank you for so many amazing book videos this year! u truly have been the highlight of my year, thank you for the hard work and effort you put into entertaining us. love u!
I don’t know how I found your channel and I’m not used to reading books like that. It’s a very dedicated challenge to read that many books and I applaud to your hard work for creating type of diligent content!
I’ve read maybe 4 book cover to cover all the other books i have on my shelf I never picked up again to finish them.
But your video honesty makes me feel motivated to try reading more.Thank you! also this is the second video I seen of yours 💕 Love your content
Honestly i love watching your book videos so much even tho we have completely different taste in books. Like i probably won't read any of these but i really like the way you judge and talk about them. And you are honestly making me consider going venture romance
oh wow. thank you for this. love how fast and straight to the point you are with all the books you've read. I'm definitely gonna read a bunch of those this year. thankss
bro this video helpd me on chosing what books i want to read
So glad you finally read Once Upon A Broken Heart my fav book I knew you’d love it!! ❤
RIGHT ITS SO GOOD
Omg you are literally my favorite person in the whole world my face lites up every time I get a notification that Haley Pham posted a video your the best!
How you never spoil any plotwists is beyond me ! Love your book videos happy new year
The Selection is one of my favorite series ever. Its very underrated and I need for them to be turned into movies
Haley I wanted to thank you for motivating me to read this year, I found so many books that I loved and you had a big part on that. Happy new year Haley! hope next year treats you amazing!
I'm 12 years old and I'm obsessed with reading and one of my favorite series is the selection, it makes me happy that you like it as well❤️
Omg same literally same best book ever recommend to literally everyone lol
@@mollygallina3739 lol same
Thank you for helping me get out out of my 2 year reading slump!! I was a huge reader before but idk what went wrong with me but I am finally reading again! I read 13 books in the past month and I am currently reading the twisted series (it's okayish), the inheritance games, and the spanish love deception. I also bought the Caraval series because of you!
thanks for another year of great content haley!! can’t wait to see what you do in the new year 🎉
I find Haley's book opinions/recommendations so interesting because she literally has the opposite taste in books as me lol. I also appreciate not being able to give a book below 2 stars even if you don't like it, I also have book rating guilt 😅
Ok so you said that no one had really heard of Percy Jackson series but girl…there is and entire fandom! We are in love like truly in love! It is amazing!! Am I know I am only thirteen and our reading preferences are very different but pleas make a video reading all of the Percy Jackson book! Like I am begging you! My whole freaking heart is begging you!!🤪
so many amazing books ☺️ you should try a video where you make book nooks for your shelf! I think it’d be something super creative and fun
I saw your review for “Dance of Thieves” and I ended up reading the duology and now they’re some of my favorite books ever ❤️❤️
Got so many recommendations from you throughout this year. Would love to hear more of your thoughts/recommendations on Christian books/CS Lewis recs. Happy New Year!
Her outro always gets me lol
the moment is here everyone. The 2022 yearly book wrap up. EEEK I NEED TO wATCH tHIS RiGHT NOAWWWW (luv u haley
The City of Bones series and the Infernal Devices are some of my favorite series of all time!! Very excited to see what you think as you read more
The girl that started my reading obsession💕
Throne of glass is the best fantasy series ever. I'm actually obsessed.
I really really appreciate the “no spice” comments you added 😂 I love romance books but not wanting anything inappropriate so thanks for that!
percy jackson was my childhood, i was in that fandom for 2 years MUST READ!!!!
yasssss
I’m surprised being a reader and UA-camr for so long that you haven’t read a lot of those popular YA book series. Love your channel!!
In 2023, you should definitely read the House of Salt and Sorrows!! It is very haunting but in a not too scary way. One of the most unique books I’ve read!! Your videos have definitely helped me through my reading slump💕
I assume this message about winning is a fake one :{ as I see it on multiple messages here...
Haley! So i have watched you and your vlogs on and off for the last couple of years and so your reading channel was always popping up on my feed. This year I graduated college and so I wanted to get back into fun reading. My first series was the Cruel Prince Series and then the Vow of Thieves and your channel has been my go to for my next book recommendations! Thank you for your channel and I really enjoyed going back over all your books this year with you!
Your book era is the best thing ever
You should consider doing a video of rereading books to see if they are as good as you remember. (like The Selection and Twilight)
This was an AMAZING wrap up, loved how you talked about every book individually - obsessed with your book videos, cannot wait for more in 2023 ❤️
I’m a Percy Jackson ride or die, they’re so quick to read and it picks up so much by the 3rd book. Stick with it 😭✨
Please do ! You just need to keep going ! Kinda hard to get through the first one but just keep going !!
Haley omg you should do NANOWRIMO next year! If you want to write, its a great opportunity!
YAY, I'm so excited to see your favorite books from this year!!!! ❤️
I’m so happy you mentioned love and gelato. It was the book that got me back into reading. It’s such a cute underrated book 🩵
My day has been granted a 75% happiness boost and love this 💗🥰
It's funny that your favourite books in the Inheritance Games series were book one and two, while mine were one and three. The second one made me feel like it wasn't major enough like it isn't necessary for the hole story and I would like for it to be the first one and the third one as a series😅 It shows that maybe it's actually good that we got three books so there's place for everyone's favourites😂 Great video! ❤️ I recently bought "Better than the movies" because of your recommendation and it's on my TBR for 2023, I can't wait to read it!🥰 greetings from Poland❤️
I think the reason why a lot of people didn't like 'The Final Gambit' is because it's the last book of such a great series, it has a lot to live up to. I personally really liked it (even the second time that I was reading it this year after hearing a lot of comments that it was not that good, I wanted to see if I really liked it that much and I did, idk if that makes any sense 😂), but because it is an ending (for now) everyone was expecting something beyond great.
@@silvia_ia_georgieva I'm happy that you also liked it🥰 and yes I think that it totally makes sense, it might be the problem/ reason for all these mixed reactions. All this expectations and everyone having their own vision for the future of their favourite characters probably didn't help😂
i bought Float because of your review of it and I loved it, especially as the book progressed- one of my favorite things to read is books where you can really watch the author grow, so thank you!!
i also got The Guest List and have just started reading it! :)
I love you so much haley, you’re the soul reason I started to love books again, thank you for being an inspiration ❤️
Haley if you see this your the reason I started reading again never stop making awesome content
My favourite youtuber here to save the last day of the year 💗💗💗✨✨✨
girl 21 books in 31 days is insane, keep up the craziness lmao
Took me months to get through C.S. Lewis’s “Surprised by Joy” too, but absolutely loved it. Lewis’s writing is so rich. 📚😊
Hey Hayley tysm for these book related videos, I think you’re one if the only book tubers I’ve found with a similar ready taste to me, I’m a teenage girl so I pretty much only read romance so a lot of ur book recs are very helpful Ty
Just found this channel somehow and it jus really reminded me how much I used to love to read literally all night. the bigger the better n now overtime I jus switched to UA-cam. I really miss reading tho hope I haven’t lost the spark
The Red Queen slander hurts my heart!!! I really recommend you push through the second book because the series gets better BY. THE. BOOK!!
Your channel literally got me back into reading! Thank you soo much Haley! ❤️❤️❤️
Eeeek!!!! I've been waiting for thisssss 😭😭😭 always LOVE UR VIDS, Haley! I love ur reviews and reactions to books! I also love how u give spice warnings tooo! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ ILY GBU
I've rewatched your monthly wrap-ups so many times, and now they're all in one video haha
I miss those big comfy chairs at borders books. reading in ‘em after work was my jam.
Finish the Throne of Glass!! I didn't like the 3rd one either but kept going bc the next ones are so good 🥰
Yes omg pls!!! Especially the last one when everything comes together🥰and i feel like by the end you will be able to understand and apprechiate everyones povs :)
yay the best vid of the year! happy new year haley
also i have you to thank for my reading addiction now hehe
This makes me soo motivated to read! For the last few weeks i have been in a reading slump so this is exciting! I already know i will rewatch this video like 20 times
I assume this message about winning is a fake one :{ as I see it on multiple messages here...
@@TomerArmarnik yea i am pretty sure its fake
ahhh i'm so happy you read clockwork angel. the infernal devices is my favorite series ever! you don't necessarily HAVE to read the mortal instruments before it, i usually recommend it, though, because if you do then you know the shadowhunters books a lot better and you also get to see some characters that you already know. it's kind of like how you don't need to read caraval before once upon a broken heart, but it would be better if you did.
anyway i think the next book in the infernal devices series, clockwork prince, is like my favorite book of all time so i hope you like it!
Have you read the last hours series ?? It’s so good and will and Tessa appear again
@@florastevens863 i have yeah! i really like it. matthew is so😍 it’s crazy to see will as a parent tho😭
@@luna-yj2bc I agree , but I loved that series so much, it made me so happy. But yes Matthew has my heart
I love watching Haley review books I’ve read and I am currently reading all her 5 star books ⭐️🤍
Dance of Thieves Duology and Better than the Movies were my favorite books I read this year. I will never stop recommending them.
Kathrine center backlist: how to walk away and what to save in a fire. Must reads!
literally love this channel so much the amount of effort she putts into her book videos and any videos really
Great video! Many of these series are on my tbr🤩(ToG, ACOTAR, FotA, Caraval+OUABH, inheritance games, the selection)
Haley I think you would love the Remnant Chronicles!! The first book is called A Kiss of Deception and it’s in the same universe as Dance of Thieves!! It’s such a good series with world building and different povs!!
I read the Legend series when I was in middle school, and I actually got to meet Marie Lu at a local bookstore. I haven’t read it since then, but I recommend giving it another try. The second book of the series is so much better than the first. The writing is a little simple, but the plot is good
I’m happy you’re going to still be making book videos and have loved all of the ones you’ve made!
favorite books of the year:
1. The House in The Cerulean Sea by Tj Klune
2. I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson
3. The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson
4. The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
You can totally start the Infernal devices series without reading the mortal instruments series but you could read up a bit on the history of the Shadowhunters etc. Please finish the Infernal devices, it gets better in the second book! ♥️♥️
If you want a sci-fi romance to dip your toes, you could try “Cinder” it’s part of a series which I have yet to finish but I enjoyed it.
i loved the lunar chronicles! definitely recommending it
I didn’t know Haley read Percy!!! When are we getting the rest of the series vloooog?😭😭(it’s my favorite series)
Where the crawdads sing starts slow but then became my favorite book
haley i just wanted to let you know that your videos convinced me to read the dance or thieves duology and it became some of my favorite books ever! so thank you for that ❤
crazy how people who dont have a real job have so much time to read all the time
Haley you have to do a video where you read Shakespeare's plays, I want to know your opinions on it so bad, plus it's one of my favorite authors ❤️
Lock every door is my favorite book EVER and I love seeing someone recommend it
Would looove to see how you are going to spread out your reading journal for this year (if you’re thinking of using one, that is) xx
If you’d ever start a book club I’d be extremely thrilled!!! 😍🙌🏻📚
The Shatter Me series 🤌 so freaking good!!
I love you and your channel and you inspire me so much to read more and more. The thing is that what you like and what I like are kind of the same things so when I watch your videos it feels like I'm watching myself, and since we have a very similar style in what we like in books and what we don't like there is much that inspires me in you. Never stop with what you are doing❤️✨
haley, you should read lia louis books. They're so quick and written so well. so fun! my favorite of her books is emmie blue but they are all great!
The third/last book in the Anna and the French Kiss series is the best! (Wayyyy better than the first book). It’s called Isla and the Happily Ever After. You can read it as a stand alone (even tho there’s a chapter with characters from the second book (which is okay), it doesn’t change the plot) and it’s SO GOOD!!! Def recommend even tho the first book sucks and the second one is okay.💀
I loved this video so much, thanks! I'm currently reading Once Upon a Broken Heart and I'm antsy to buy the second book already. I read (listened to) all of Caraval last year but for me the first book was my top favorite in the series 😆 I can't wait for this new one, it'll probably be one of the first books I finish in 2023 (I read like 5 books simultaneously, mood reader that I am). Happy New Year!
Oh my goodness I LOVED where the crawdads sing !!! Thought it was so amazing!!!!
Omg you have to read the other to books in the Love and Gelato series! The next one is Love and Luck, then Love and Olives
you should totally make a video on reading the percy jackson series!!
she did read the lightning their in one of her videos and said it wasn’t her type
Read the mortal instruments, it makes so much more sense and I think you would love it, loved watching you go through this journey and I can’t wait for more
Literally just brought and am reading once upon a broken heart 😜 I'ts so good! Deffo reading Caraval series too! Shocking since I'm not a big romance book fan 🤣
I’m a Cassandra Clare Stan since I was like 12. All of the spin-off series of the mortal instruments follow their own storylines but I still recommend starting with mortal instruments because the city of bones (first book) builds the world of the shadow hunters very well
I agree , they are all in different time lines and settings but it gives a good idea
The last hours are AMAZING
all of her book videos have me in a chokehold.
happy new year and thank u sm for being one of the biggest influences & favorite book-tuber this year☺️💓
