a dash of ash 😸😸😸 THANKS FRIEND

[@paulcurlin2789]

I'm shook now. Can a 57 year old man be shook? :-) Seriously though, you introduced me to several books or series that I may have to read: Sarah J Maas series, Renegades and The Savior's Champion. I am already reading plenty of Manga so these should start off the new year. Thank you!

[@alyssar3697]

Paul Curlin SARAH J MAAS IS AMAZING! i work in a bookstore and i try to get every person i can to read them because they’re so good

[@nikki9808]

i would LOVE a screen adaptation of evelyn hugo if it were done well! maybe even like a mini-series with each episode focusing on a marriage? i've started waiting for spring but i only read the first volume so far. it's soooo cute! i'm ready for all of the feelings 💗

[@AshleyOutpaged]

xonikkee OMG YES THAT WOULD BE PERFECT!! And oooh hope you enjoy the rest of the ride 😸✨

[@adashofash]

[@AshleyOutpaged]

louisity 😸❤️

[@chloe.imogen]

Ugh I adore your style...you should totally make lookbook videos if you haven't already!

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Thank you!!

[@laurenb_101]

Yes yes yes!! I ADORED The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and would love to see it adapted on the big screen. *crosses fingers* Another favourite read of mine in 2018 was Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman - perfection! Oooh, I have the first two volumes of Waiting for Spring on my shelf and will start reading it in the new year 😇 and I am sooooooo ready for King of Scars!!! It’s been ages since I read the Grisha trilogy so I’m wondering whether I should re-read it before KoS comes out? Another great video, Ashley 🤗

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Lauren B thank youuuu 💓 and ahh I definitely recommend re reading at least if ya wanna get in the mood for KoS!!! And hope you love waiting for spring when you get to it!!

[@laurenb_101]

You’ve sold it to me! I have added the Grisha trilogy to my January tbr and I shall re-read all of them before KoS. 😁 Ooh, just thought I’d let you know that last night I finished watching the final episode of Death Parade and it was incredible!! Thank you so much for the Anime recs vid 😍 and rumour has it that a second series is coming out in 2019! I hope you have a very Happy New Year, Ashley! X

[@JennaMoreci]

Omg I'm so honored! Thank you!!!!

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Jenna Moreci OF COURSE 💕 the queen must be on the list 👏🏻👏🏻

[@maliatfirst9]

you mentioning evelyn hugo just mad my day. evelyn hugo rules!!!! she is one of the most complicated characters i have seen in my life. i just lovvvveee her. she is completely honest with herself and she doesn't regeret a thing she did. may it be good or bad. that takes a lotta courage to admit. but at least she isn't lying to herself. just devoured the book!!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR.😊😊😊

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Maliat Tahiat I could read it over and over again 😭😭

[@JeanneLollypop]

Call me by your name and the grisha trilogy have been in my tbr for a while but now you’ve kind of made them climb up!! I’ve read MANY good books this year I can’t even choose a fave 😰 and many of them were not published this year ...But i’ll say Carry On because it brought me so much joy and I love Snowbaz and I’m just so happy when I think about that book. Happy New Year 2019!!❤️

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Glad you had a lovely reading year

[@Cozygamerreads]

The prince and the dressmaker sounds so amazing :D I love hearing your rave about the manga's you read. You make me want to buy them all and read them for myself...the struggle.

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Lalaine Adanna 💓😸

[@sophiaa8454]

I just watched this video and I just ordered Fence! I‘m so glad I clicked on this video - I have to read every single book (manga, graphic novel) of it! Thank you! Well I’ve already read Call me by your name and I was shook! One of my all time favorite book. Beside, I love your channel! I really appreciate that you also read and recommend Mangas and Graphic Novels (especially graphic novels are underrated). Greetings from Switzerland 😁

[@edaseker167]

Found you, love you, subscribed to you 👌🏻📖

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Ahh thank you!!!

[@gudnyolsen7361]

i most definitely just added all of the graphic novels and mangas you just talked about to my tbr :) I read a lot of great books this year ! I read the raven cycle oh boi I love my children. I also read the lunar chronicles and ended up really loving it ! but my faves I read are definitely Aristotle and Dante and autoboyography. I just love my contemporary romance books ;))

I've had Call Me By Your Name on my shelf for almost a year now... I think it's time for me to finally read it!

[@jasminam2814]

Call Me By Your Name is so raw, you'll be having physical wounds for crying over it.

[@pinksuperstar2]

I was so shocked not to see Horimiya on your list. I got Into the series thanks to you and loved it so much. Definitely one of my favorite manga. Currently reading Kingdom of Ash so I can't say it will make my list yet-but I am DETERMINED to finish before 2018 is over. However my favorites do consist of: Restore Me Children of Blood and Bone The Kiss Quotient Horimiya (thank you again for introducing me to it) Muse of Nightmares Let's Talk about Love (horribly underrated) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (best final book ever) Junjo Romantica manga Ten Count Manga

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Create&Dream it was a really tough call honestly but it’s definitely up there, just couldn’t fit it in the video :( I love Horimiya sm though!! Glad you had a lovely reading year 💓

[@ChroniclesofNoria]

Ooooh. I have such amazing things about Fence but I still haven’t read it yet. Will definitely up it on my TBR. My best books of 2018 are The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang, Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo, The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi and girl who drank the moon by Kelly Barnhill

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Noria Reads so many good picks!! I loved the Poppy War as well!!

[@ChroniclesofNoria]

ashleyoutpaged Thank you ☺️☺️☺️. And I cannot stop talking about The Poppy War. That book stuck to me like a second skin. I love it that much!

[@booklattes]

“Do you even know my brand” big mood ALSO I had no idea saviors champion was self published it’s on my list and I’m so excited to read it!! Love supporting self published authors omgggg

I didn't know I needed Waiting for Spring in my life! I'm definitely gonna check it out. It sounds a lot like Namaikizakari which is one of all time favorites

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Yes!!! And ooh I’ll have to check that out too!

[@yusurkassem4174]

My favourite books in 2018 are Cassandra Clare books basically (like every year) Lord of Shadows and the Infernal Devices💙

[@anitaa1484]

I read Call Me By Your Name in 2018 as well and it definitely will be one of my favs probably forever! 💙💙 I still haven't laid my hands on The Seven Husbands of E H and in 2019 I MUST! Loved this video 💞💞

[@pamela3872]

Hi! I have a question that I hope you don't mind answering. How do you move past a book genre bias? I wan't to explore more books but I feel like I am being held back, how do you take the plunge to read a book that you think you might not like?

[@pamela3872]

OKAY GUYS I FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO THIS, just pick up a book, and read it.

[@billie4767]

Pamela Edwards ahaha MOOOOOOD

[@componentsofcalamity]

I was the same with Renegades too! I didn't realise that it was so Super Hero orientated going into it and almost DNFed it at one point but I ended up loving it

[@AshleyOutpaged]

glad you didn't dnf it o:

[@shannonjerilee2017]

a lil sad furyborn wasnt on this list 😂 but aru shah and the end time was definitely my favorite read for this year. it gave my culture representation in a positive light and the characters along w the plot was amazing. also,theres a sassy pigeon in the story. all i can say is,i relate to the sassy pigeon on a spiritual level

haha I actually had an ARC of Furyborn so it was on my 2017 list!!!

You made want to reade tjese books soo much💜😻

[@Brenda-jo7cn]

"Can't wait for King of Scars!" SAME. I'm happy you liked the grisha trilogy, most people just give up after the first book and don't get to meet Nikolai. Also, I'm not into the super heroes hype and you made me consider give Renegades a chance. About Sarah J Maas, I'm so behind on her books that i'm discouraged to continue the series but I'm also dying to see everyones reviews of the last book. Happy new year

[@AshleyOutpaged]

what a tragic life living without Nikolai??

[@debarghyachaki6164]

Please read the Wintersong series by S. Jae-Jones. It is such a great series, especially for music lovers. After Kingdom of Ash, this would be my favorite 2018 book series.

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Blue Flame I actually started that one a while ago but never finished 😭

[@debarghyachaki6164]

That’s too bad, but I understand. I think the second book gets better, but thanks for the reply!

[@Umalexa]

I just found you and I already love your content.

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Ahh thanks!

[@griffin7974]

Have you read the Haikyu!! manga? If not, I strongly recommend that you do. It's kind of similar to Fence given that it's very focussed on sport (volleyball in this case) and the relationships between the characters. It's just such a good time and all the characters are so lovable.

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Griffin Ori I have!!! I’ve been on the fence on whether I should read the manga or just watch the anime??

[@griffin7974]

@@AshleyOutpaged The anime is almost identical to the manga (and the soundtrack is great), so you wouldn't miss out on anything if you just watched it!
