Can you list the books in the description? I really wanted to check some of them out but it's hard to find the title/author and it would be a lot easier if you listed the books you talked about!
A stand-out for me this year has been To Kill a Mockingbird! I know it's huge in America, but it's not talked about a lot in Norway, so I only just discovered it. So amazing. I also really loved The Pilgrimage of Colourless Tsukuru Tazaki by Haruki Murakami!
I'm reading A Darker Shade of Magic on your recommendation and OMG!! I'm loving it so much! I would never have discovered it myself!! Love all your recommendations and and have most of favourites on my wish list already!! So glad you decided to start a book Chanel!
LifewithEmilyFox I can't name everything in here so here some of the best: Ari And Dante, The Nightingale, The Kite Runner, A Monster Calls, When Breath Becomes Air, etc. Btw, has you read Forbidden byTabitha Suzuma or Stolen by Lucy Christopher? These two are so weird and yet they stuck with me until now omg 😂
Flowers for Algernon 😢😢😢 one of my favorites, I've discovered a few years ago and it totally broke my heart back then. Really good one, I like the fact it your cut. Awesome channel 📕📗📘📙📚
Emily I love how you read a variety of books and don't just stick to one genre, it makes me always want to watch your videos and how you give your opinion but also say you may like it for this or not like it if your interested in these things, it let's the listener decide
I've recently finished reading The Passage by Justin Cronin and it's a great post-apocalyptic world with a really great modern interpretation of vampires (not your usual vampires, but really believable virus-created ex humans). Would highly recommend!
I think I only got it because I had to study it for a class, otherwise I wouldn't get half the things in there, but because the teacher was explaining things it was much easier to get it.
there's also Ariel by grace tiffany, Mr darcys diary by Amanda grange, scribbler of dreams by Mary E Pearson, the iron daughter series!, maya angelou I know why the caged bird sings, and heart of darkness by Joseph Conrad
So many books on this list that I want to read; think I'm gonna have to add most of these to my TBR :) I absolutely loved I'll Give You The Sun, one of my faves!
I've been following your beauty channel for a long time and I'm so glad to discover you've started a booktube, too! I loved this video!!! I especially enjoy the fact that you don't limit yourself to YA and to sappy romance. Your book choices were really interesting and refreshing for the booktuber community 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
LOVED Station Eleven. I would recommend The City of Thieves, it's always something special when you find a book that makes you laugh and cry. I listened to the audio book and it was one of the best narrations that I've heard so far.
I am so glad that I found your channel!! I speak French as well but I do most of my reading in English and we have such similar taste when it comes to books! Can't wait to watch more videos from you!!
I was originally subscribed to your beauty channel and that's how I found this one. You have really inspired me to read a lot more. I love this channel! Please continue to do more videos 🤗 I appreciate them.
I found you from your beauty channel. I didn't realize that booktube was a "thing" on UA-cam, now I've got another Rabbit hole to lose myself in! Thank you!
The Martian is one of my favorite books and thanks to you, I have add some new titles to my TBR. In a previous vid you asked for romance books and I'll like to recommend you Sylvain Reynard series. They're basically romance but with a twist. The Gabriel's Inferno trilogy is a modern take of the Divine Comedy and her second trilogy has a paranormal component but still the classics come thru. Not your average romance and both series are completed, so no waiting nor painful cliffhanger. 😁
I was surprised that I liked Girl on the Train so much. I'm also starting a series the first one is called The Wicked Girls by Alex Marwood. Frankenstorm by Ray Garton, this one I picked up bc I thought it would be an easy entertaining read but it's got more characters and interesting drama than I expected, I recommend it. also, I'm trying to get through The Nix by Nathan Hill, it's huge!
The Martian was probably my favorite read from this year! It was so hilarious. I definitely want to reread it, so I might try listening to the audiobook when I do that. :)
I picked up a few books based on your recommendations and now I have a few more to add to the list! I grabbed Dark Matter and I cannot wait to read it! Though I just started Annihilation (per your October reads) so I'll have to read it fast!
We have such familiar reading tastes!! I've read most of the books you talked about and loved them as well! And the ones that I haven't read are now one my TBR. Thanks for the recommendations!! I still have to read the first book in the Mistborn trilogy this year so we'll see if it ends up in my 'favourites video' as well!
Uhhhh Mistborn! So much love for that series! I've read it twice and I almost never go back a re-read books. Always on to the next, but that series is just amazing. Most of Brandon Sanderson's novels are series, but I would totally recommend a single novel by him called Elantris. Probably one of my favorite books from him. Oh and his newest series the Stormlight Archive is not to be missed either. But the two books out at 1000+ pages each will take over your life for quite a while. :-)
omg I added almost all books you recommended on my TBR list on Goodread, plus subscribed (and follow you on GR as well). This is the first video I watched of you and you seem to have such good taste, I'm so excited to read like, all of them.
Thanks so much for this video. I will definetly be checking out a few of these. I can't believe I didn't know you had a book channel until just tonight!!!! I love your makeup channel and my two biggest obsessions is makeup and books/reading. I actually just started doing videos on my channel all about books and unboxings of my owlcrate and novel editions. Totally subscribed!!!! Thanks --- your fellow Canadian. :)
Flowers for Algernon -- pretty brilliant, and one of my all-time favorites (though I liked the short story better than the expanded novel-length treatment). And I agree, the hardest cry I ever had reading a book came with FFA.
Great selections! I half-listened to the audiobook of The Martian as well! It's awesome. It was actually followed by my read of Station eleven which was also really greta and I agree with what you said. It really stuck with me as well. Also, yay! Sanderson! I'm really looking forward to Dark Matter and Flowers for Algernon! They're both on my (LARGE) TBR.
Where should I start.. The entire Will Trent series by Karin Slaughter, both of Ian Mortimer's books about the Time Traveller's Guide to Elizabethan and Medeival England and The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje.. With honorary mention to every Agatha Christie book I read in 2016 because I love her :P
I've definitely heard of Flowers for Algernon before. But you made me really wanna read it now!! Lol I recommend the Girls from Ames, Lucky, The Lovely Bones. I am currently reading The Memory Keeper's Daughter.
I'm with you on Station Eleven and The Martian!!! My two non-classics I've read this year. Absolutely fantastic and want to reread them again (even if I have loads of other stuff on my TBR huhu)
Hi Emily! I just found your channel through this video and I'm really glad I did, because these books all sound fantastic! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos in the future! I will definitely be reading Station Eleven, I've seen it on many booktubers' best books list now! OMG I've read the first Mistborn books too, they are so incredible! Especially the magic system is great. I could really understand and visualise it while reading it!
AAH COOL! I really hope you´ll love it and that it will be even better than the first two! Looking forward to your review/hearing your thoughts. I'll be starting it quite soon too I think.
Love your sweater . You have in there so many books on my TBR list, hopefully I can get to most of them next year. If you love fantasy you have to read Chronicles of Nick, is an amazing series.
V.E Schwab's books are amazing. A Darker Shade of Magic, A Gathering of Shadows, and Vicious were all great. Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake too. Dark Matter and The Kind Worth Killing, both amazing thrillers
I haven't read any of these, I don't tend to grab this genre of books, however, I am intrigued. Flowers for Algernon is on my list of books to read now after seeing your review. Love your videos, wishing you a merry xmas and all the very best for 2017! 😘
OH MY GOSH!! Sorry I had to get that out, kinda fan-girled for a minute! I'll give you the sun is my all time favorite book! I have read it a total of nine times in four months! It's the best!
yah im new to your channel and I loved the books you have recommended! I totally agree that station 11 sticks with you forever. a darker shade of magic. but the other books you mentioned I haven't read yet. I agree the that the six of crows and crooked kingdom is highlight of my year and the Harry August book as well oh and the queen of tearling was great!
Hi Emily, I am your fan. I decided to come back to this vid to say thank you because owing to it, I discovered the most suitable book for my English literature final assignment and it's Flowers for Algernon. Like you, English is not my mother tongue so analyzing an English book is not easy at all but I was really into the book and I've done my assignment kind of successfully, I guess :)) I am now waiting for the result and I believe it'll be good. Again, thank you Emily. I'm looking forward to your video every week.
I am reading The library at Mount Char right now on your recommendation. I am reading it in english. It´s not my first language also but there is no ebook version in my language (which is czech) and I am right now in Canada for one year so I ordered it on bookoutlet and now I am enjoying it. Thanks for tip! :)
GIRL you have to read Sanderson's other series, starting with the Way of Kings. It's even better than the Mistborn series! I also really recommend The Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier if you haven't read it, it's one of my favorites ☺
One recommendation: When talking about the books say their names. There are people that can not watch in the screen all the time to see for what book are you talking about. No bad feelings, You are Great!
Station Eleven is one of the most complicated but most fascinating books that i ever read - I also had to read it twice to really get into it. I loved that the times are changing in every chapter and the characters are so amazingly detailed. Even though there are not so many pages, every one of them gets a soul and a background story... I would love to hear what your favorite characters were - mine are Clark and Miranda, they have such complex personalities. Btw: any tips how to effort more books? I have an ebook reader, but every book lover knows the feeling of paper between their fingers.... Love and best wishes from Vienna!
I'll have to check out "mistborn/well of ascension," I've never heard of it. Loved loved loved the winner's Curse trilogy. And station eleven is on my list for 2017!
I just started reading again this year, had no time before and my favourite books were by far all three in the red rising trilogy by Pierce Brown. I cried and laughed and I already plan to re-read it in english (read it in german so far). Some of your mentioned books are on my list now!
Hello Emily, My favorite 2016 books were The Virgin's Tale by Sherri Smith and a Series of Unfortunate Events by Lmony Snicket. I'm currently reading City of Bones and soon expect to read A Monster Calls. PS. Game of Thrones has been a great company this winter. It's so good! I'm starting season 6!
The only reason I gave The Martian 4 stars instead of 5 was I thought the book got carried away with putting the characters in another bad case scenario. Got a tad bit tiring. Mount Char is definitely odd, but yes, it's good
I have the mistborn books and I have tried twice and just can not get into the story. it very well could be that at those times I was not in mood for fantasy. I feel I should love them everyone does...lol I will try them again later. Great video!!
i'm sure you probably have but did you read any agatha christie books lately? i read and then there were none and absolutely loved it and i was trying to get into another book by her but all her other books seem so good. do you know anything like that that would be good?? this is coming from a typical science fiction lover but it surprised me how much i loved it
If you're into post-apocalyptic books you've probably read The Road. But if you haven't you must. It's one of my favorite books, and written in almost a poetic prose
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe was the best book I read this year. I see you have it as to read, Emily. I'd really suggest it! I've been hearing about it for months and months now, and I just wish I had picked it up right away. I also loved The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August and A Darker Shade of Magic.
Legend trilogy by Mary Lu!!! My favourite dystopian novel. I also loved Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska by John Green. The Maze Runner trilogy was also great :)
I was surprised that you liked the Winners Curse. I found the love between the two characters in the first book very unbelievable. Didn't feel it. So I didn't continued with the other books..
I know it's more beauty-related but WHAT are you wearing on your lips?? V.E. Schwab instantly became on of my favorite authors this year because of A Gathering of Shadows. Can't wait for Conjuring of Light! Wasn't able to read a lot this year because of my thesis, but definitely Gathering of Shadows series and Queen of the Tearling series are up on top.
Post apocalyptic books, hm? it's not only post apocalyptic, but partly and I think you'd enjoy it: Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, I really recommend it!
Blood Red Road by Moira Young is a really great post-apocalyptic book! The only thing is that it doesn't have quotation marks and some words aren't spelled properly (on purpose), but it's amazing once you get passed that!
Can you list the books in the description? I really wanted to check some of them out but it's hard to find the title/author and it would be a lot easier if you listed the books you talked about!
I agree--short chapters are super motivating!!!
Definitely!
I love it when booktubers mention adult books, THANK YOU! A lot of adults on booktube read only YA, which is quite sad. Branching out doesn't hurt.
I try to keep it 50-50ish! I'm curious about the YA books mentioned on book tube but I need adult mix in there too :)
Ay H. Why is it sad? Lol you read what you're interested in.
I love Station Eleven. It really stayed with me a long time too. The way the characters were linked was very nicely done.
nailo89 me too - it was totally haunting 🙀
A stand-out for me this year has been To Kill a Mockingbird! I know it's huge in America, but it's not talked about a lot in Norway, so I only just discovered it. So amazing.
I also really loved The Pilgrimage of Colourless Tsukuru Tazaki by Haruki Murakami!
Flowers for Algernon is my fav book of all time....nothing will ever top it.
I'm reading A Darker Shade of Magic on your recommendation and OMG!! I'm loving it so much! I would never have discovered it myself!! Love all your recommendations and and have most of favourites on my wish list already!! So glad you decided to start a book Chanel!
What are the best books you've read in 2016? :)
LifewithEmilyFox I can't name everything in here so here some of the best: Ari And Dante, The Nightingale, The Kite Runner, A Monster Calls, When Breath Becomes Air, etc.
Btw, has you read Forbidden byTabitha Suzuma or Stolen by Lucy Christopher? These two are so weird and yet they stuck with me until now omg 😂
One of the best I've read is It ends with us by Colleen Hoover, though any of her books are a fave and must read for me!!
I'll give you the sun was my favourite by far!!
I'm not gonna name them all but my top 2 would be We Are The Ants and The Nightingale.
The Birth House by Ami McKay, and Meathooked by Marta Zaraska
I looooove Flowers of Algernon! It's one of the best novels I've ever read
Flowers for* Algernon, sorry about the mistake :)
Dark Matter was on my list as well. I really really enjoyed it.
Flowers for Algernon 😢😢😢 one of my favorites, I've discovered a few years ago and it totally broke my heart back then. Really good one, I like the fact it your cut.
Awesome channel 📕📗📘📙📚
Thank you!
I ALSO loved The Martian and Flowers for Algernon!
The Novel Sanctuary t
Dark Matter was sooooo good I almost wished it was longer!
I read Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and that has got to be my favorite book of 2016! So good!
Holy moly... Dark Matter and The Martian are also in my top 5!
So good!!
LifewithEmilyFox my babies
Emily I love how you read a variety of books and don't just stick to one genre, it makes me always want to watch your videos and how you give your opinion but also say you may like it for this or not like it if your interested in these things, it let's the listener decide
That's exactly what I want to hear! It's more helpful if I explain then if I find everything amazing :)
I found Dark Matter in new condition at my Goodwill thrift store for $1.99 this past week. A total score! I can't wait to pick it up now. Thank you!
Lucky! Hope you'll like it :)
My favorite book this year was definitely name of the wind, but I also started the discworld series which I'm really enjoying too!
Hi Emily! Can you pretty please write the books and authors in the description? I always miss them
I've recently finished reading The Passage by Justin Cronin and it's a great post-apocalyptic world with a really great modern interpretation of vampires (not your usual vampires, but really believable virus-created ex humans).
Would highly recommend!
Station Eleven is sooo goood!!!! i am glad you liked it too!
If you like weird books you should read House of Leaves. The weirdest most intense book I've ever read.
Madeleine Lily sorry I just didn't get House of Leaves.
I think I only got it because I had to study it for a class, otherwise I wouldn't get half the things in there, but because the teacher was explaining things it was much easier to get it.
Wow that's so cool that your teacher gets you to study such fascinating books
Yeah it was cool! :)
The Martian is also one of my favorite books !
I officially binge watched so many of your videos that I „arrived“ in the year 2016… and even here you are raving about Dark Matter😂
One of my first favorites haha
I really reccomend The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. I think you would really like it, it has dueling magic!
I loved The Night Circus
Planning on reading it in February :D
The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. The writing is impeccable.
there's also Ariel by grace tiffany, Mr darcys diary by Amanda grange, scribbler of dreams by Mary E Pearson, the iron daughter series!, maya angelou I know why the caged bird sings, and heart of darkness by Joseph Conrad
I watch your beauty channel and just was looking for book suggestions and you popped up... I was like... WHAT? Emily?! This is so great
So many books on this list that I want to read; think I'm gonna have to add most of these to my TBR :) I absolutely loved I'll Give You The Sun, one of my faves!
I've been following your beauty channel for a long time and I'm so glad to discover you've started a booktube, too! I loved this video!!!

Loved the Winner's Curse trilogy ! Emily, could you possibly start listing the titles and authors in the downbar?
LOVED Station Eleven. I would recommend The City of Thieves, it's always something special when you find a book that makes you laugh and cry. I listened to the audio book and it was one of the best narrations that I've heard so far.
I'll have to check it out :)
I am so glad that I found your channel!! I speak French as well but I do most of my reading in English and we have such similar taste when it comes to books! Can't wait to watch more videos from you!!
I was originally subscribed to your beauty channel and that's how I found this one. You have really inspired me to read a lot more. I love this channel! Please continue to do more videos 🤗 I appreciate them.
Aw thank you! Will do :)
I found you from your beauty channel. I didn't realize that booktube was a "thing" on UA-cam, now I've got another Rabbit hole to lose myself in! Thank you!
I love booktube! It's smaller than the beauty community but I hope you'll have lots of fun :D
I've only read I'll Give You The Sun because I love YA (duh!) and it was absolutely fantastic.
Can you make a video of your favorite post apocalyptic books?
I watched this video yesterday. And I've already finished The winner's curse thanks to you. It was sooo good! thank you Emily!
Yay! I'm really happy you loved it :D
The Martian is one of my favorite books and thanks to you, I have add some new titles to my TBR. In a previous vid you asked for romance books and I'll like to recommend you Sylvain Reynard series. They're basically romance but with a twist. The Gabriel's Inferno trilogy is a modern take of the Divine Comedy and her second trilogy has a paranormal component but still the classics come thru. Not your average romance and both series are completed, so no waiting nor painful cliffhanger. 😁

I still have to read the first book in the Mistborn trilogy this year so we'll see if it ends up in my 'favourites video' as well!

They're all on my list! I'm keeping the Stormlight Archive for last since the series is far from over :)
omg I added almost all books you recommended on my TBR list on Goodread, plus subscribed (and follow you on GR as well). This is the first video I watched of you and you seem to have such good taste, I'm so excited to read like, all of them.
Yay! :D
Thanks so much for this video. I will definetly be checking out a few of these. I can't believe I didn't know you had a book channel until just tonight!!!! I love your makeup channel and my two biggest obsessions is makeup and books/reading.

Flowers for Algernon -- pretty brilliant, and one of my all-time favorites (though I liked the short story better than the expanded novel-length treatment). And I agree, the hardest cry I ever had reading a book came with FFA.
Wow, I was going to request this video but you post faster than I comment! Thank you, I will really enjoy it! 😘
I think you sold me on Dark Matter and The Martian. I might have to hunt those down and pick them up to read for myself!
Let me know how it goes!!
Great selections! I half-listened to the audiobook of The Martian as well! It's awesome. It was actually followed by my read of Station eleven which was also really greta and I agree with what you said. It really stuck with me as well. Also, yay! Sanderson! I'm really looking forward to Dark Matter and Flowers for Algernon! They're both on my (LARGE) TBR.
Bump them up a bit :P
Where should I start.. The entire Will Trent series by Karin Slaughter, both of Ian Mortimer's books about the Time Traveller's Guide to Elizabethan and Medeival England and The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje.. With honorary mention to every Agatha Christie book I read in 2016 because I love her :P
I've definitely heard of Flowers for Algernon before. But you made me really wanna read it now!! Lol
I recommend the Girls from Ames, Lucky, The Lovely Bones. I am currently reading The Memory Keeper's Daughter.
I was in a reading slump during 2016. I look forward to getting out of it in 2017, just discovered your channel, said per awesome!
Reading slumps are the worst! Hope you find some great books this year :)
Dark Matter for me is the Book of the year :)
I'm with you on Station Eleven and The Martian!!! My two non-classics I've read this year. Absolutely fantastic and want to reread them again (even if I have loads of other stuff on my TBR huhu)
Hi Emily! I just found your channel through this video and I'm really glad I did, because these books all sound fantastic! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos in the future!
I will definitely be reading Station Eleven, I've seen it on many booktubers' best books list now!
OMG I've read the first Mistborn books too, they are so incredible! Especially the magic system is great. I could really understand and visualise it while reading it!
Right? I'm about to start the 3rd book and I have no idea how it will top the first two!!
AAH COOL! I really hope you´ll love it and that it will be even better than the first two! Looking forward to your review/hearing your thoughts. I'll be starting it quite soon too I think.
Love your sweater . You have in there so many books on my TBR list, hopefully I can get to most of them next year. If you love fantasy you have to read Chronicles of Nick, is an amazing series.
I'm currently reading " I'll Give You the Sun" and I love it! Glad to hear you loved it!
It was beautiful!
V.E Schwab's books are amazing. A Darker Shade of Magic, A Gathering of Shadows, and Vicious were all great. Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake too. Dark Matter and The Kind Worth Killing, both amazing thrillers
Loved the kind worth killing! I was expecting just another thriller and... nope haha
I haven't read any of these, I don't tend to grab this genre of books, however, I am intrigued. Flowers for Algernon is on my list of books to read now after seeing your review. Love your videos, wishing you a merry xmas and all the very best for 2017! 😘
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you too :)
OH MY GOSH!!
Sorry I had to get that out, kinda fan-girled for a minute! I'll give you the sun is my all time favorite book! I have read it a total of nine times in four months! It's the best!
Crooked Kingdom and All the Ugly and Wonderful Things top my list this year! Flowers for Algernon sounds like a great read!
I really loved All The Ugly and Wonderful Things too but I'm kind of nervous to recommend it to people.
ah yes, it really isn't for everyone because of the subject matter. I still think for most people it's worth at least a try :)
yah im new to your channel and I loved the books you have recommended! I totally agree that station 11 sticks with you forever. a darker shade of magic. but the other books you mentioned I haven't read yet. I agree the that the six of crows and crooked kingdom is highlight of my year and the Harry August book as well oh and the queen of tearling was great!
They're all on my TBR! Can't wait to read them :)

Thanks for tip! :)
Happy to hear it :)
GIRL you have to read Sanderson's other series, starting with the Way of Kings. It's even better than the Mistborn series! I also really recommend The Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier if you haven't read it, it's one of my favorites ☺
I'm keeping the way of kings for last since there's 10 books and only 2 (almost three!) out! :)
I know this was about books but wow you're absolutely gorgeous. Red lipstick really works for you ❤️❤️❤️
I recently bought I'll Give You the Sun so I definitely need to pick it up soon!
One recommendation: When talking about the books say their names. There are people that can not watch in the screen all the time to see for what book are you talking about. No bad feelings, You are Great!
Station Eleven is one of the most complicated but most fascinating books that i ever read - I also had to read it twice to really get into it. I loved that the times are changing in every chapter and the characters are so amazingly detailed. Even though there are not so many pages, every one of them gets a soul and a background story...
I would love to hear what your favorite characters were - mine are Clark and Miranda, they have such complex personalities.
Btw: any tips how to effort more books? I have an ebook reader, but every book lover knows the feeling of paper between their fingers....
Love and best wishes from Vienna!
I'll have to check out "mistborn/well of ascension," I've never heard of it. Loved loved loved the winner's Curse trilogy. And station eleven is on my list for 2017!
Mistborn seems to be very popular so chances are you will love it too! :)
I love Crouch's Wayward Pines trilogy.
Just finished reading Dark Matter and holy crap. Loved it!!!
I just started reading again this year, had no time before and my favourite books were by far all three in the red rising trilogy by Pierce Brown. I cried and laughed and I already plan to re-read it in english (read it in german so far). Some of your mentioned books are on my list now!
I need to continue that series, I only read the first one so far!
Hello Emily,
My favorite 2016 books were The Virgin's Tale by Sherri Smith and a Series of Unfortunate Events by Lmony Snicket. I'm currently reading City of Bones and soon expect to read A Monster Calls.
PS. Game of Thrones has been a great company this winter. It's so good! I'm starting season 6!
If you like post apocalyptic, you might enjoy the Obernewtyn Chronicles by Isobelle Carmody.
I'm reading I'll Give You The Sun now and it's amazing.
The only reason I gave The Martian 4 stars instead of 5 was I thought the book got carried away with putting the characters in another bad case scenario. Got a tad bit tiring. Mount Char is definitely odd, but yes, it's good
I need to read "A Darker Shade of Magic!"
I have the mistborn books and I have tried twice and just can not get into the story. it very well could be that at those times I was not in mood for fantasy. I feel I should love them everyone does...lol I will try them again later. Great video!!
I wish you had put them in order that's always a little more interesting to me. But I loved your selections!
I couldn't chose an order - I love them all!
Yes Gathering of Shadows is high up on my best 16 of 16 list.
Loved "The Martian" my other favorite for 2016. "The Girl on a Train" by Paula Hawkins.
I like art, I hated I'll give you the sun :(
Yaayyy for Mistborn! I love it!!
i'm sure you probably have but did you read any agatha christie books lately? i read and then there were none and absolutely loved it and i was trying to get into another book by her but all her other books seem so good. do you know anything like that that would be good?? this is coming from a typical science fiction lover but it surprised me how much i loved it
Just wanted to let you know I read "Dark Matters". I couldn't put it down and read till late in the nite. Thanks for the recommendation!!!!
"Innocence" by Dean Koontz.
If you're into post-apocalyptic books you've probably read The Road. But if you haven't you must. It's one of my favorite books, and written in almost a poetic prose
Also Dark Matter was my favorite book of 2016, do you know of any books similar to it?
Have you read Dog stars? I haven't been able to decide if I should read it or not.
Indian Booktuber I haven't! It looks good though
I thought she would enjoy it as well
I own The Road but I need to finally read it! I haven't read anything quite like Dark Matter sadly!
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe was the best book I read this year. I see you have it as to read, Emily. I'd really suggest it! I've been hearing about it for months and months now, and I just wish I had picked it up right away. I also loved The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August and A Darker Shade of Magic.
I'm getting both for Xmas! :)
Woohoo! :D
Legend trilogy by Mary Lu!!! My favourite dystopian novel. I also loved Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska by John Green. The Maze Runner trilogy was also great :)
I was surprised that you liked the Winners Curse. I found the love between the two characters in the first book very unbelievable. Didn't feel it. So I didn't continued with the other books..
I know it's more beauty-related but WHAT are you wearing on your lips??
V.E. Schwab instantly became on of my favorite authors this year because of A Gathering of Shadows. Can't wait for Conjuring of Light!
Wasn't able to read a lot this year because of my thesis, but definitely Gathering of Shadows series and Queen of the Tearling series are up on top.
Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick in American Doll!
I haven't read any of them but they all sound great and go to my 2017 list! (btw, love your lipstick!)
I loved. A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness this year
That one made me cry! Can't wait to see the movie!
aaaaaah I LOVE your background
Post apocalyptic books, hm? it's not only post apocalyptic, but partly and I think you'd enjoy it: Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, I really recommend it!
The Martian were my favorite book of 2016!
And one of the first books I read. Put me in a huge bookhangover and nothing really compared the rest of the year.
Blood Red Road by Moira Young is a really great post-apocalyptic book! The only thing is that it doesn't have quotation marks and some words aren't spelled properly (on purpose), but it's amazing once you get passed that!
