[@olzhasmukashev7158]

Dark Matter 👌

[@dreaswiftie]

The Mortal Instruments #5, the entiere lux series and Beautiful Disaster

[@cynthiadesgagne8548]

Ancillary Mercy, by Ann Leckie (#3 in Imperial Radch) In the Labyrinth of Drakes, by Marie Brennan (#4 in the Memoirs of Lady Trent) Relish, by Lucy Knisley I can't wait to reread them :D

[@Rich-jv2mx]

BookswithEmilyFox The City Of Brass.

[@18whiteoleander]

Brandon Sanderson actually has a section on his website where he talks about where to start with his books on his website and has different suggestions for people who do read fantasy and people who haven't read much fantasy. I was told that you could read Warbreaker for free on his website as well! Which is so awesome.

[@Spcyfic]

Didn't know that but it's awesome ! Thanks for sharing :D

[@harrietmahony7672]

YAS GIRL for We Are The Ants! I've hardly heard anyone talk about this book, but it's really stuck with me throughout the year and is definately in my top books of the year too.

[@Eliina552]

Video ideas for the end of the year series : most anticipated books of 2018, favourite book covers of 2017

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I've already filmed one for the most anticipated books of 2018 actually! :)

[@esterlolo6193]

My best reads this year are: We Are The Ants Shades Of Magic Trilogy The Raven Cycle The Art Of Racing In The Rain IT The Universe Versus Alex Woods See You In The Cosmos Air Awakens series Death Note (Manga)

[@pomehanate]

You & your channel has encouraged me to read more! My New Years Resolution is usually to read more, but lately I've been following through with it!

[@MysticsLibrary]

I actually got into Brandon Sanderson's books after watching your videos earlier this year. I had never read anything by him prior to that. I picked up Mistborn and I was hooked. I haven't read Hero of Ages yet, but Final Empire and Well of Ascension were two of my favorite books this year. Thanks for recommending them on your channel!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

The ending of the last one will blow your mind!!! :D

[@SeviWate]

* adds all of them to my to-read list * I loved the hero of ages SO MUCH. The finale was mind blowing! Also, I am reading Elantris right now and in my opinion, it had a very slow start which was hard to get into but finally it's suddenly to pick up. So happy to see these books in your list!

[@myrrhperez1924]

I’ve been thinking this whole time.. “I know this girl, where have i seen her before”. I just remembered the hours i’ve spent watching your lipstick swatches😂 You have 2 amazing channels, keep it up❤️

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

😂❤️

[@refletsambres]

I'm so happy that so many Sanderson books were mentioned in there !! I discovered him just this year and have now read seven of his books and plan on reading more, can't get enough ! I agree with everything you said about the Hero of Ages, by the end of the book I was hyperventilating at how amazing it was - mindblowing is really the word. Same goes for Elantris and Warbreaker (Nightblood was definitely the best haha). Definitely recommend BS's books to any fan of worldbuilding and plot twists. Bisous de France :)

[@alexalovesbooks]

I have yet to read any Brandon Sanderson novels, though I've heard so many amazing things about them. You're making me want to pick up one of them to read this year!

[@JenKayna]

Thanks for the recommendations! Just added Warbreaker and Pines to my TBR since you made them sound so interesting!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I did :D

[@welldonebooks]

i'm so glad i found your channel through the KZbin suggestions. :) you have great taste. the Long walk has been on my radar for a while and i really need to read it in 2018. happy reading!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I'm so glad you're back I love your videos! ❤️

[@Elsa_ingenue]

I love this series of videos! Always love your reviews

[@Sophiek2221]

I enjoyed The Female of the Species so much too! It was my favorite book of this year. So heart-breaking but absolutely life-changing for me too. I LOVE that "boys will be boys, our favorite phrase..." quote from the book.

[@carolinemeyersohn5223]

Yay I'm so excited! I've been waiting for this video legit all year because I feel we have the same reading taste so I get whatever you love 😂

[@blakejackson5340]

You won my heart with the Sanderson love, We Are the Ants, and The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. I LOVE those books and LOVE your tastes ❤️

[@xoHAUTEGLiTTERS]

I was not nearly as impressed by The Long Walk as you were, I read it a few years ago. I will say though, Station Eleven was by far my favorite book of the year (even tho I just finished it 2 days ago) and the other favorite was Because You’ll Never Meet Me, both of which were on your recommendation. Time to check out Pines and finally some B. Sanderson.

[@kari-annefehn7139]

I'm so reading all of these! I'm starting on Brendan Sanderson's books next year and I'm so excited :D Could you do a video on your favourite book characters and maybe your least favourites?

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I'm planning one my most hated characters!

[@eiram4214]

I can't believe you have this books vlog, i thought you're just an make up vlogger. Nice to know you that you also love books. Can i request pls make a top horror/mystery/suspense books? Thanks you so much

[@adiibrd4213]

Okay you got a new follower right after you said "the long walk" because I just thought like I would definitely chose this one. And yes the endings are often a bit dissapointing but still great storys... Hopefully I will find more horror/thriller books on your channel :)

[@AmyaMyamYkate]

Dare I say you’re my first new favourite booktuber of 2017? It’s refreshing to see someone who actually reads fairly proportionally to hauling books!

[@desertrose0601]

I agree with you about The Long Walk. That was my first King as well (I read it maybe like 5-6 years ago) and I absolutely loved it. I have since found others of his that I like, but that one still holds a special place in my heart.

[@mackenziegould3694]

I read a few good books this year but none have stuck with me like a book I read December last year called Station Eleven by Emily st. John mendel. I can't remember if it was recommended by you or not but it stuck with me and I still think about it all the time.

[@flippydippy3054]

That has really stuck with me, too. Almost time for a reread :)

[@pamcooper1599]

Great suggestions! Lots to add to my tbr. Thank you

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Hope you'll love them too!

[@freckledklutz]

I finished the mistborn series so quickly loved those so now I will read the ones you recommended by Brandon Sanderson. Female of the Species was amazing so glad I read it but you are right that one hits deep! I loved the long way to a small and angry planet waiting for the sequel from the library. It reminds me of the show Firefly on Fox. If you haven't seen it you must highly recommend that show! If I could pick two from this year - they would be Clay girl by Heather Tucker - canadian author family and not sci fi at all but so amazing! And The Hate U Give. Both of those left an impression on me! Both character driven and both super well written.

[@laynaaa]

You mentioned The Long Walk!!! I absolutely loved it! Xx

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

It was awesome!

[@stephaniewilliams5347]

The Unseen World, Queen of Tearling series, Six of Crows were some of my favorites this year. Need to get to Pines cause I loved Dark Matter and just started Warbreaker based on your recommendation. Happy Holidays! Exciting to see what great books to be read in 2018.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I'm planning on reading them next year!! So excited now :D

[@MissAdamLambert888]

Thank you SO much for this vid ! Definitely interesting picks for sure

[@PolarisBooks]

I'm SO excited to read Elantris and continue on with the Cosmere! I just started Way of kings and I am both excited and terrified by how big it is 😅

[@ailenpolo2610]

I follow your beauty channel and had no idea you had one exclusively for books 😍🙌🏻👌🏻

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

It's more recent! Glad you found it :)

[@april4507]

I have watched all of your most recent videos from this year and last and I am only saying this because you sometimes ask how to say something- your English has gotten better since this video. I can tell a difference. I;m not sure if you've been studying but your already amazing English got even better. I am always jealous that people know multiple languages. You go girl! Also my husband and best friend won't stop talking are Warbreaker so I guess I need to just give in and read it!

[@oumaimaha2983]

Been waiting for this video forever

[@HannahCassieBooks]

I read Long walk because of you and it is indeed good tho I also wanted more of the world. Also already added Pines to my TBR, sounds very interesting!

[@DioneN]

I remember reading The Long Walk a couple plus decades ago, and I totally agree...I was exhausted reading it!

[@causechaos9415]

I just discovered your channel and I’m obsessed! ❤️

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

❤️

[@Sparklypie112]

Please make a Stephen King book guide video! :D I really want to start reading his books & I think I'll try The Long Walk first! Btw I love watching your videos!

[@MaryHeyMusic]

Almost done the beauty of darkness and it's for sure my favorite trilogy this year! Thanks for recommending it:)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

So happy you're loving it too!

[@kimlake8838]

I love, love, love that you mentioned Becky Chambers. It’s very underrated.

[@Spcyfic]

Well... I just ordered 4 of the books you mentionned ! Can't wait to start reading Sanderson's books :D

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I hope you'll enjoy them! :D

[@ScarletClarity]

So glad to see The Long Walk on this list! :D In the Brandon Sanderson opus, have you checked out The Emperor's Soul? It's a short novela set in the world of Elantris but a completely separate story, and it's incredible! Highly recommend!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I haven't read the novellas yet!

[@darcy501]

OMG! I squeaked like a little seagull when you mentioned The Long Walk because it was my first Stephen King book too and I absolutely loved it! YAY!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

So underrated!

[@TL-er9ci]

I have been wanting to read A long way to a small and angry planet and warbreaker for awhile, glad to hear you liked them so much, I need to pick them up! My favorite books this year were the Mistborn trilogy, Name of the Wind, Dark Matter (what a crazy book), We are the Ants (so amazing!), The Bear and The Nightingale (because Russian Fairy tales!) and The Watchmaker of Filigree Street (the most quietly beautiful book). Love you videos ;)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

We seem to have similar taste so I think you'll like them too!

[@nummy_nummers]

The best books I read this year were The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams and The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden. I'm also planning to reread The Name of the Wind which automatically adds it to that list, because it's my favourite book of all time!

[@luciacanali9832]

We are the Ants is one of my favourites too ! It was so good ! My absolute favorite is Heir of Novron of the Riyria Revelations series, but Crooked Kingdom, The Lies of Locke Lamora and Lord of Shadows are in my list ^^

[@headinherbooks]

Hero of The Ages is one of my favourite fantasy books ever! Really looking forward to reading Elantris ☺️

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I don't know how he does it! He keeps creating amazing worlds and magic systems! Hope you'll like it!

[@AlyssLysie]

Oh my! You make me want read Brandon Sanderson!!

[@Alexander-oz9rz]

Hey ,in your opinion what is an adequate age to read Stephen King

[@mattstephens8561]

I've been mainly a fantasy reader for most of my life but I've been wanting to branch out. Your tastes seem to span multiple genres. How do you find the books you read?

[@teabooksgirl854]

You're like one of the only booktubers I've found whose read more than the Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson & I'm so happy bc he's my favorite author of all time!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

His other books are just as good if not better!

[@bethelliott4544]

The more I watch your videos the more I realize we have very similar taste in books. So it sounds like I should pick up some Brandon Sanderson soon!

[@40005979]

Can you make a video of your 2018 reading goals

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

There's one going up end of December! My 2017 Reading Wrap Up & 1018 Goals :)

[@iamronidog]

Wayword Pines is a book?!?! HELL YES *runs off to library*

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Get all three in one go! I ordered the last 2 after reading the first one and the third book got lost and took 2 months to arrive... Put me in the worst reading slump!! I didn't care about any other books I just wanted to finish this series 😂

[@iamronidog]

BookswithEmilyFox Ohh I'll definitely do that :D

[@MeSimoneI]

I really need to read The Long Walk! It sounds so dark. Plus I really love Harry Potter so those short stories are a must for me!

[@jessr771]

I read The Long Walk based on your recommendation and really liked it. It was the first Stephen King book I completed ( I attempted Carrie when I was 16 and could not get through it). I also just finished Pines because of your recommendation and loved it! I already ordered the second book!!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

So happy you enjoyed them too :D

[@yellowtreezy]

Yess! Warbreaker is probably my favorite Sanderson book so far (only read the mistborn trilogy and Steelheart though) and am so sad that it's one of his least popular! I read it last year and loved it so much! But for some of my favorite books of this year would be, Godsgrave, The Refrigerator Monologues, and Long Way to a Small Angry Planet. Out of my almost 90 books I read this year, I didn't have many 5 star reads. Kinda of a meh reading year for me too.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Hopefully we'll both have a better reading year in 2018! :)

[@jmbogert1]

Hey Emily! Have you read the Thief series by Megan Whalen turner?

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I read the first one earlier this year! I liked it but I haven't felt the need to continue yet!

[@nanochan1168]

Thanks to you i have just finished the warbreaker and it was truly amazing i have been intimidated by Brandons books but now i want them all

[@Stilljamal]

first book channel I subscribed to; something new for me.

[@gemlem]

hey, love your videos! just wondering what you're mother toungue is?

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

French!

[@nurbalat3069]

Hey Emily! I watch your beauty videos and book reviews too. I recommend you read “And the mountains echoed” and “ The kite runner”. I haven’t seen you mentioned them ...you might enjoy it

[@addiedehart8374]

You make me want to read Hero of Ages, I read the first two in the mistborne trilogy and was underwhelmed but I might give it another go. Also have you read the 5th Season trilogy? It's so good, I think you would like it.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

The last book is a bit slow in the beginning but the ending... I'm still thinking about it! I haven't yet but I'm hoping to soon!

[@steph2994]

The Hate U Give, Piecing Me Together, and Call Me By Your Name, were the best books I have read this year.

[@JennV-B]

Steph C I loved The Hate U Give! I had never heard of Piecing Me Together so I just looked it up on Goodreads and now I want to read it so thanks for the recommendation! :)

[@steph2994]

MokaTutu your welcome, I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did.

[@averysmith1534]

I also loved The Hate U Give!! 😀

[@arcevans7324]

Steph C I loved the hate you give.

[@luanavianagomes]

I think the best series i read this year is Peter Brett's Demon Cycle ! I see you already bought the first one, so dig in ! Since you liked The Long Walk, i would recommend The Regulators, and its mirror book, Desperation. First one is still under the Bachman pseudonym , and the other is listed a a Stephen king novel. And they were released AT THE SAME YEAR ! I really liked them both, its a very interesting concept.

[@CamilaGo]

Hi emily ♡. Have you read 11/22/63, by Stephen King? If so, what did you think? I have it on my tbr pile and im planning on reading it soon. Is it horror? Or does it have any horror in it?

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

No but I watched the tv series. It's more time traveling/historical fiction than horror but there might be a few scenes I'm not sure how close the tv show is to the book!

[@flippydippy3054]

There's essentially no horror in it, but some sci-fi (it's about time travel). Mostly historical, with a nice love story in there. Recommended!

[@Rich-jv2mx]

Oh wow I started a few weeks ago by reading the way of kings. Straight in at the deep end lol. Im obsessed with Sanderson now though, he's amazing!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I'm keeping that series for last!! I don't want to wait for the next 6 books on the series :P

[@MeghanReads]

I just read the second era mistborn series and LOVED it. Aside from the main stories, seeing how the religions evolved is amaaaazing, and wax and Wayne are great characters.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I can't wait to get to it next year!

[@PetrikLeo]

Great video, Emily! Also, total yeay for Sanderson's books! Btw, Sanderson has stated that Mistborn will consist of four trilogy instead of three. It used to be three, but the Wax and Wayne ended up being the second era even though it began as an experimentation. Sooo it will be Mistborn era 1: Medieval-ish Mistborn era 2: Wax and Wayne (finished in 2019) Mistborn era 3: thriller with contemporary-ish setting Mistborn era 4: futuristic sci fi setting As for Warbreaker, I cant wait for the sequels too!! (No idea when they're coming though.. Sanderson it will at least be after 2020) Sorry this ended up being long but it's hard to shut up when i'm talking about his books xD

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

OMG you just made my day!! The more books from him the better :D

[@sofiahasan9401]

Which lipstick are you wearing? So pretty!

[@zoilalulu3798]

Book and makeup game ON POINT!

[@thebookwalker4428]

My fav this year where:Dark Matter, The lies of locke lamora, We are the ants,Acomaf,Morning Star, All our wrongs of today, Little Monsters, it was also a meh year for me, i only read 50 books

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

50 is awesome!! I really want to read All Our Wrongs Today and The Lies of Locke Lamora next year!! :D

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Yay! We are the ants!! Love that one! YES LOVE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES

[@ivymuse]

I read Pines because you recommended it and it also made it in my Best Books of 2017 video! :D I have yet to read the sequels, I think I've been putting off reading them because I'm worried they might disappoint me after the amazingness that was the first book :P

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Yay!! So happy you liked it too, it's a tough one to recommend because of the twist at the end 😂 People will either love it or hate it! You definitely need to continue!

[@amandaortiz7777]

Favorite Books this year: Caraval by Stephanie Gerber, and two by Leigh Bardugo - Crooked Kingdom and The Language of Thorns

[@nosmallwonderetsy1]

Hey there, I totally agree about the Mistworld series, great world and magic system, and I also loved how they answered all their mysteries and questions and wrapped it all up in the end. Have you ever read the The Noble Dead Series by Barb and J.C Hendee? The First book is called Dhampir and the world building is fantastic, The characters are flawed but loveable, there is a little romance through the series but it is not cheesy and is not the main focus of the story. It is one of my favorite fantasy series. For Sci Fi I would love to know if you have read the Species Imperative trilogy by Julie E. Czerneda. The First book is called Survival and I would call it medium core sci fi. There is a little bit of a mystery, the characters are the driving force of the story, but the aliens and technology feel very real and believable. I would love to see your reviews of these books, based on what you have said about other books you have read, I think you might really like them. :) Jess

[@papikisuke2126]

The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet was by far the best book I read all year - I loved everything about it! I adore the characters and the concept is brilliant!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Have you read the second one? I can't wait for the third one coming out this year!

[@daisy3690]

I subscribe to a couple of book review-esque channels and i notice that the "host" puts links to the books discussed and it was mentioned that they do get paid for giving their recommendation but at no cost to us.... might be worth looking into?? Thank you for sharing your impressions: Much appreciated. Be well. Be happy. Bye now

[@TashTalksTonnes]

The long walk and the first fifteen lives of Harry august are two of my favourite books of all time :,,,))

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

They're so good and I don't hear people mention them!!

[@David-oy2ih]

I have a question... What is considered a quick read for someone that has read many books before?

[@SomeRandomSingerGirl]

Brandon Sanderson is definitely someone I want to start reading from in 2018! I'm very excited

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Yay ! :D You'll have to tell me which books you read and let me know how it goes!!

[@Tessy31]

My two faves were Something Wicked this Way Comes by Ray Bradbury and The Devil of Nanking by Mo Hayder! The latter is especially shocking and upsetting but in a good way 😊

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Oh I started The Devil of Nanking during the fall but I had read too many thriller/horror so I put it down for now... I need to finish it!

[@thesonicmaestro]

2016 I started the Mistborn trilogy of Sandereon and in 2017 I have continued with his other books Elantris, Warbreaker, The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance. It still boggles my mind how I finished these last two as they are like a thousand pages each. I will definitely keep reading his books.

[@jodisheridan5223]

Best I read this year- Mistborn, Strange the Dreamer, The Hate U Give, the Radium Girls, Now I Rise, The Bear and the Nightingale.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I've been meaning to read Strange the Dreamer! Is it has good as everyone says? :)

[@jodisheridan5223]

BookswithEmilyFox Yes! Or at least I think it is. I’m a big fan of Laini Taylor.

[@Annabell19x]

Devils Within by S.F. Henson is such a great winter read! It's such a page turner I couldn't put it down!

[@heyitslori]

What the heck Emily...I totally expected you to include The Selection in this video! lol ;)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I thought about it... but I didn't want to repeat myself from the other videos :P

[@kb-ih7ni]

wow this is from 3 years ago but for some reason you sound so much younger =)) hope you'll do like a revisit of your old booktube videos haha

[@miracles-777]

You should check out Infinite Sacrifice by L.E Waters ^^ its a mixture between like everything. Historical fiction, a bit of fantasy kind of, religion and just a lot of interesting things. One thing you should know there is a lot of small things that you should notice from one story to the other (they are all connected) and sometimes its hard to follow. But i really liked it. Ive just read thr first book tho, so cant say about the rest of the series ^^

[@kaberroneill94]

There is a fantasy author that I haven't heard anyone mention (it might be because his material is older), but that is Dennis McKiernan. I started with his book DragonDoom and went from there.

[@menollyhollabaugh5549]

But Emily why didn't you include Attachments?! I know its your favorite LOL! :P The best books I read this year were probably The Remnant Chronicles, We Are the Ants, and More Than This by Patrick Ness. I also just finished The Knife of Never Letting Go by him and really liked that too!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I mention it too often... needed a break :P I need to read The Knife of Never Letting Go!

[@menollyhollabaugh5549]

BookswithEmilyFox Just a warning I was not prepared for how emotional part of it is! But it really was quite good! :)

[@maysstyles5211]

Subscribed ❤️

[@CourtneyDowellOfTarth]

I SO agree that Stephen King's endings aren't good

[@christinaalexander2780]

My favorite Stephan King book is Needful Things, it's a long one but definitely worth it ♡

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

It's definitely on my list!

[@paperback_cat]

I listened to the audiobook of the 15 Lives of Harry August and I wish I'd read it instead! I found the flipping back and forth between lives very confusing :S I just wanted to keep going with the current action!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Ah I can see how it wouldn't be a great audiobook!

[@emilytreads]

The female of the species sounds really good!

[@imene2784]

You should try "Life After Life" by Kate Atkinson if you like "multiple lifes" trope.

[@athena986k]

My first stephen king book was The eyes of the Dragon. It is his version of a dark fairy-tale and such a great intro to him. You should check it out if you havent.

[@16Jussie]

Have you read dark places by Gillian Flynn?? So good!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I did read it! I have yet to try Sharp Object though!

[@kirstyrose13]

I don’t know if you’ve read it or not yet but if you enjoyed The First Fifteen Lives if Harry August you might also like Life After Life by Kate Atkinson. It’s a similar premise, with living a life over and over again, and I really enjoyed both of them!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Funny you mention that.. I just picked it up during my last library sale :D

[@mavmiyazaki3372]

Stephen King can be overwhelming especially if you're just beginning to read his books; I mean lets face it, he wrote A LOT. But I recommend Misery to anyone who wants to start reading his stuff. And also his novellas and short stories like Different Seasons and Skeleton Crew. Have you read Misery? I kind of want to know your thoughts on it. I was also in a real bad reading slump this year and read like less than 10 books and my favorite was definitely The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Happy Holidays :)

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I got it from a library sale and didn't notice it was in French. The translation was hurting my soul after a few sentences so I DNFed it until I find it in English! Happy Holidays :)

[@jordanhutson6962]

If you like the getting a second chance at life premise, I would rec HOLY FIRE by Bruce Sterling. Follows an older woman who undergoes a procedure that turns her back into a teenager. Lots of cyberpunk elements
