Highly recommend you check out The Ancient Future trilogy by Traci Harding. It's an older book, which is written by an Australian Fantasy writer. It literally changed the way I thought about the world. If you like Juliet Marillier, I think you'll like it. It's not Romantasy, it's more of an epic fantasy. There are four trilogies that exist in the same universe if you like the first three - they kind of carry on one after the other.

SHUT UP I LOVE THIS SERIES I HAVENT EVER SEEN SOMEONE TALKING ABOUT THESE

I’m a simple girl; I hear a book being compared to Graceling and I add it to the tbr 👀

I love that your coffee pot is used as an editing tool between time periods! We know the update is coming😂 Also, The Study series is one of my OG favorite romantasy series. It is so dang fun to read.

I cannot take my eyes off that shirt 😮

Love the new allowing light in door ❤

I'm about 100 pages into Blood Over Bright Haven, and while I'm really loving it, at the same time I'm a little disturbed by the fact that the magic concept seems to be extremely "inspired" by the magic in Babel. Did anyone else feel this way?

❤️📚🐶

OMG those biscuits are so freaking good. We go to that place often just to get the biscuit. Highly recommend the breakfast burrito as well next time you go! It's ranked as one of the best burritos in the city apparently and my husband swears by them. 👏

I loved this video. I know this sounds insane but my jaw dropped when I realized free will dictates you could literally just put jelly/jam in yogurt. Why have I never done this.

I also read Poison Study back in the day, and remember it sending me on a bit of a Maria V. Snyder binge - however, I think by the time I got to the third Chronicles of Ixia trilogy my interest was waning, and I'm not sure I ever finished it (which is supported by the fact I only have the first book of that trilogy on my Kindle). Hearing you talk about it is making want to give Poison Study a re-read though!

❤❤❤

The evolution of Romantasy covers is wild

I still need to read the poison study series 😭

Would LOVE to know where that grey henley is from 🤩

Can you do a video reading some classics? Would love to hear your thoughts on some!

As a life long New Englander who experiences intense cold a lot, you want layers. Lots of layers. Thinner closer to your skin, bulkier as you go out. For me, socks are the most crucial thing! The athletic socks i love 3/4 of the year are often just not warm enough. Get yourself a few pair of good boot socks and your favorite slippers and youre good to go ❤

I personally enjoy queer romantasy. Maybe you will have some luck there, too!

came for the book recs, stayed for the vegie chopping montage and cooking inspo 😂

I read Poison Study back in early 2010s and I absolutely loved the series!! I never see anyone talk about it so I love that you’re re-reading them 🥰

Love your vlogs so much!! Have you ever read any David Weber? I'm just starting Off Armageddon Reef and am liking it so far. SciFi

Hey Reagan! Just wanted to say I'm new here and loving your channel and your varied taste in books it feels like a channel I can call a second home! Keep up the great blogs and see you next time. 🤗

Poison study sounds a little bit like the anime apothecary diaries I recommend you give that a watch if you haven’t already!

I read poison study and the rest of the series ages ago. Glad for the reminder about them

Nice reviews. Keep it up!!!

Omg Age of Madness let’s go! I can’t wait to see your reaction because that trilogy is wild

stop omg i remember you recommending poison study and putting it on my tbr 😭😭 maybe i should actually read it this time around haha

why don’t you just build more shelves

I really enjoy the original trilogy in the study series (the second trilogy was okay), but the glass series was a total letdown for me. Interested to hear your thoughts when you get to those!

Traitors is the best of the best. It’s opened up a whole new world of television for me. 😂

This feels full circle, the first time I found your channel was around the time you were constantly recommending Poison Study! Feels like a lifetime ago.

I needed a reading break while in grad school (academic reading can suck the fun out of it) and I’m so glad I came back to your channel because I’m back into it with great recs! Thank you!

I really think you'd love Curious Tides, it's so good. Centered around moon magic, strange death mystery, and so much more!

oh ive been waiting for this one poison study girls let’s GO!

Wind and truth was so bad, y’all give Brandon Sanderson too much grace

Poison study sounds like a excellent read

wait i thought you got the color soft??

I have started reading ML Wang's books thanks to your videos and she is now one of my favorite authors of all time. If ML Wang writes it, I will read it!

You are one of my favorite cozy KZbinrs! Also love hospital playlist for the same reason!! Also jasmine tea latte one of my fave cozy drinks

I can't wait for House of Blight to come out! By Maxym Martineau, it comes out in April! It says it's a Dark Gothic Fantasy about an eerie House! I'm intrigued!

love your optimism that Alecto is coming out this year 😂 I hope you're right!! I haven't heard anything definitive

When you dropped your Kindle!! 😩😩😅

I read blood over bright haven last year because of your recs and I am not able to move on from this till now

I was confused because i went into the video thinking it was in spanish, I understood what she was saying and then realised she was speaking english. I felt disoriented for a few seconds 😂

hi regan, this video was a delight to watch! when i first started to read fantasy, i got my first high fantasy recommendations from you. (except for one ya book about fairies) the sword of kaigen was my first high fantasy book, and then the way of kings, both of them became two of my favorite books of all time and both of their authors became authors i follow closely. thank you for that! those were your videos from some years ago, i still remember not understanding pretty much anything you were saying but being very curious and intrigued, and i'm so glad i read those books then! i also went into the books without any other knowledge other than what i had seen in your videos, which was a good choice, i think. this video reminded me of back then, and your two old videos i had watched then, for some reason. (one was a "favorite standalones" video and one was a "favorite series" video.) i think i'll go into these books like that too, hope you have a good day!

RHSLC has been hitting hard!!! Absolutely one of my favorites!

Plot Armor is an unequivocal F. The survivability of your protagonist should be due their own skill, cleverness, or circumstances that are clearly explained and understood by the reader. Your reader should NEVER attribute this to author intervention alone. If you give your heroes a perilous quest and pit them against powerful foes, then you'd damn well better deliver on the danger. The one thing a fantasy adventure should never be is safe.

i cant finish the assassins trilogy. i needed the audiobook for it. awful slow.
