    I think I found your videos through Sasha's channel and I'm so glad I did! Its really nice to have someone who talks about and loves middle grade fantasy! I love those kind of books but I've always felt a little weird about picking them up and reading them because I'm 18 now and so many people go on and on about how they are 'too young' and 'not complex' and 'not good' which makes me sad but also makes me weary to try a lot of them, even if they sound right up my alley.You've reminded me that it doesn't matter as long as I'm enjoying what I'm reading, so thanks for that!! Plus you make lots of great recommendations in general, but especially for middle grade (which I don't see a lot of elsewhere) which is wonderful! Thanks so much for doing what you're doing :) I'm seriously enjoying your videos a ton

    @alannar.8701 8 років тому +3

    You should read The Candy Shop Wars by Brandon Mull. It was the first "long" book I ever read (at least, it was long to little six-year-old me!), and I remember that I just loved it.

    Where Future Ends sounds amazing and is it just me or does the cover kind of remind you of the cover of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August?

    Do you know the UA-camr Emma Blackery? She reads A LOT of North Korea non-fiction! I think she even has a video about it on her channel (or her 2nd channel boxesofoxes). She also has goodreads!

    Salt to the Sea is soooo amazing!! It's definitely become one of my new all time favorite books. I thought it was even better than Between Shades of Gray. Ugh, I read it at the beginning of the month and I'm still obsessed and won't shut up about it to everyone. Can't wait to hear what you think of it!

  • @tainalopez871
    @tainalopez871 8 років тому +2

    I hope you see this comment!
    I would be REALLY interested if you did a haul or something of ASIAN writers or book written about Asian Culture/Asian experience (in Asian/Asian American) & then did book recommendations from that haul!!! Or if you know of some books off hand. I only found about 2-3 videos on the topic and would love if you'd do one too! Thanks!

  • @sandy9064
    @sandy9064 8 років тому

    Oooohhh, I'm intrigued by The Dark Days Club. I added it to my amazon wish list. Next pay, it's mine! Like you, I'm fascinated by books set in WWII, and I keep hearing good things about Salt to the Sea.
    I'm so pleased to see you picked up Soulless! Gail Carriger is one of my top five authors. Her writing is amazing. The characters are beyond quirky, I adore her BFF Ivy, and I can't go a single chapter without laughing. I'm on pins and needles waiting for Imprudence to come out in July. I do feel like I should go back and reread the entire Parasol Protectorate series again since I just finished her Finishing School series. She wrote Parasol first, but Finishing School is set earlier in the time period. That series just ended and the last book let me connect a lot of dots. There were several "O-M-G! Jane Doe is related to Nancy Sue!" moments, thus the reread.
    If you're looking for a paranormal/fantasy series that involves some Native American mythology you might want to check out Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series. It may not be blatant at first, but further into the series things about Mercy's father become more and more mysterious until a single book focuses specifically on the Native American aspect of her heritage. Amazing! There is one particular plot line of the series I'm not very happy about, but I love the rest so much I have pushed past it.

    I hope you love the Black Prism! I feel like Brent Weeks writes so many books that I love that never get any hype. The magic system in the Lightbringer Series is one of the most intriguing I've read in a long time. Can't wait to hear what you think!

    @SoulStainedInk 8 років тому

    I've been looking at a lot of those books pretty hardcore now. However, I just want to add to the Brandon Mull hype...my aunt got the Fablehaven series for my cousin a few years ago and asked me, in the capacity of an elementary English teacher/author, to read the first book and give my opinions before she passed it along to the girls. I LOVED IT! I really need to just get all of his stuff but I didn't want to start another series by him before I get all of Fablehaven and (re) read it. I hope that you really enjoy it, his writing style is awesomesauce.

  • @marandahymes146
    @marandahymes146 8 років тому

    Dark Days Club sounds super awesome, might pick that up as a birthday
    present to myself! xD Also, I bought the Black Prism like 2 years ago in
    mass market paperback and then they redesigned the covers before
    releasing the second! D: I want to buy the giant pretty cover one~

    I just recently read Julianne Donaldson's other book Edenbrooke, which I really enjoyed. I have yet to read Blackmoore, but plan to soon. You should definitely read some Georgette Heyer!

  • @verbeelding
    @verbeelding 8 років тому

    Blackmoore is awesome! You'll love it! Also check out Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson. I'm seriously looking forward to her third book because she writes great Jane Austen-esque stories. Another great Jane Austen related guilty pleasure read is Austenland by Shannon Hale. It's so funny.

    @AlannieM 8 років тому

    The Headmistress of Rosemere does have characters that are intertwined throughout the other books, but it focuses on a different story in each book, so you don't necessarily have to read them in order. The other ones are really good and worth reading if you enjoy that one. I have to admit, I was surprised to see it pop up in your video!

  • @GabyGabsBooks16

    *As Meat Loves Salt* is a stunning historical novel set during the 18 Century and it is intense and sexy and dark and one of my favorite books. It is hugely critically acclaimed. It deals with severe mental health issues and has LGBT main characters. I think you would really enjoy it. Great haul btw tis a lot of books lol!

    For Jane Austen period pieces, The Secret History of the Pink Carnation (Pink Carnation, #1) by Lauren Willig. It's whole series that's very light, fairly easy to read and, literally, about Jane Austen. Just for fun. ;)

    The book on the lives in North Korea sounds so interesting I'm going to go read it.

  • @scarredxangel
    @scarredxangel 8 років тому

    This might sound a little off topic, because it's a movie not a book but I thought I'd tell you cause of the north Korea books but there's a Korean movie I saw (and currently own on DVD) it's based on the Korean war called 72: Into the Fire. It's about the 72 student soldiers who had to hold down their Base in an old school without the help of their superiors and hold of the North. It is very South Korea biased since it was filmed and practically written by Southern Koreans and I can't solely say how historically accurate it is, I'm going to say a decent amount with a few things thrown in for entertainment purposes but even if it's very loosely true, there's enough to get the picture across. I found heartbreaking and eye opening. I recommend it if you're into that. Anyway, back to the topic the North Korean books you got fascinated me so much, I've just put them in my wish list, same with the two period books.

  • @a.m.p.m.965
    @a.m.p.m.965 8 років тому

    One more for loving Soulless but not generally getting too far with urban fantasy. I believe that Carriger's books have been referred to as "urbane fantasy" which I thought was funny and a good distinction.
    One of my favorite historical fictions is The Agency by Y.S. Lee. It is set in Victorian London and follows Mary Quinn who is a spy for a pro-woman organization (because no one notices women/maids/etc), and she also deals with her mixed-race Chinese/British heritage in a time and place that being Chinese was not ok. Lee has a PhD in Victorian literature, and I feel like she knows exactly what she's doing with her story. I think they are considered YA (the romance is great but fairly mild), and I highly recommend them!

    Have you tried Storm and Silence by Rob Thier, and it's sequel The Eye of The Storm, both on radish (I think) and the first one is now available in print. He's an amazing wattpad author, and these two books are set in the victorian era, with a strong female lead, and her struggles in getting respected as a person in London, which lead to her getting a job... But she can only have the job, is she pretends she's a man. It's beautiful.
