Why? Quality not quantity 📚

[@ImAboutTheWordplay]

I work in a hospital in ny. Reading especially fantasy has been my escape. I can get lost in the world. My days off are literally all reading.

Duerre·_·· yes i loved it too

[@namiramazhar3002]

Just lime rupanzal

[@masteroogway8916]

The greatest joy in the world is listening to an audiobook and reading that same book simultaneously. I did this with the Starless Sea and it was fantastic.

[@vrudolphi7656]

That intro was EVERYTHING!!!

[@sukhroopdoesstuff310]

YES YES YES. I actually think a HUGE TBR is perfect for how much time we all have now. I haven't really taken advantage of it so far, but you've definitely motivated me. "Yer a wizard, Hailey." Yeah, I'm as cringy in words as I am in videos. This is going to be a long quarantine.

[@jennyross5645]

"I'd like to speak to past Hailey and be like, 'Yo girl, get it together,' but I wouldn't because I cannot ever get it together." 😂😂😂 I freaking love you! Don't worry, you aren't the only one who can't get it together. I've got plenty of sequels and finales and whatever else that I buy to have the whole set, but haven't read any of them or only the first so far. That's what it is to be a book lover and collector. :)

[@mariawiswell2506]

My overwhelming thoughts while watching this are: ....u okay grl?! Lol the frantic energy really comes through which I totally relate. Deep breath!

[@heathervikish5851]

"Hoping is all I can do right now." The pandemic motto.

[@BlondeBooks]

I somehow read 20 books in March and that was a new personal record for me. I still don’t know how I did it, but if I can do it you can too!!!

[@namiramazhar3002]

Hey idk why but i m just reading all the time bc of corona virus and i just finished a book know as the third twin and it has 475 pages and i read it in two days trust me it was that good

[@shaunaXX]

I also started the listening to an audiobook while reading along was super helpful to me. Also the look on my sisters face when she walked in and said “ ARE YOU LISTENING TO MUSIC AND READING AT THE SAME TIME”. Priceless

[@clockworkgold8915]

Good luck with your TBR! I hope you love Crescent City, it’s been one of my favourite books I’ve read this year so far!

[@Luigifangirl101]

How do you focus on audiobooks while playing The Sims? I've tried and I can never focus because I'm too invested in my Sims' lives. XD

[@samra5920]

same here bruh

[@sarahferrom]

I love physical reading whilst listening the audiobook, mainly because I'm too slow! LOL Audiobooks helps me to keep a reading speed PS: You're so funny! 😂 Love your random comments, never cut them, please lmao

[@alyssac5130]

I have been in the biggest reading slump for over a year now and during this break, I’ve read over 6 book! (2 weeks) I’m proud of myself. I believe you can do it!

[@lyannastarkweather]

I totally feel you about the current situation affecting your reading momentum. Since the pandemic escalated in my area, I’ve had a lot of trouble focusing on fantasy or sci fi books, which makes me sad because they’re normally my favorite genres. The solution for me has to been reading fluffy stuff. So, I borrowed a bunch of contemporary romance ebooks from my library. I just finished Get a Life, Chloe Brown and it left me so happy. It’s what I’ve been needing.

[@krissaboman1951]

I'm so excited for you to maybe read Graceling! That has been one of my fave books for nearly 10 years! Its companion novel, Fire, is also wonderful! :) (also yes to listening while playing AC! That has been my MO lately!)

[@inabookshell]

I dnf'd The Cruel Prince. I wish I loved it as much as everyone else seems too

[@ImAboutTheWordplay]

inabookshell same

[@jennyross5645]

For the whole first half of The Cruel Prince my thought was "WTF?" It had a lot to do with the events that started the book and more descriptions of the girls' lives in Faerie, but I pushed through and thought it was decent by the end. I actually really enjoyed The Wicked King (it was my personal fave of the 3) and then The Queen of Nothing was good. I'd say try again later and see if you can get through it, if only to see how you like the next two.

[@carpelibrum2100]

I am getting Crescent City next week in the mail! So excited!

[@lisaswartz4633]

Thank you so much for what you do. I appreciate you. I am now inspired to try to read 20 books this month. Hugs 🤗

[@kendraanderson4274]

First in for most I must thank you you inspired me to read so much in the last year. It was nice to hear that I’m not the only one having a difficult time concentrating on my reading. Maybe you’re right maybe I should read some more contemporary and adult love stories it might motivate me to read all the books on my back TBR and some of the books that you just introduced to me. Please be well and be safe.

[@isadenayou]

hailey is my escape. i love her videos so much, i even rewatch her older ones. she makes me happy :’) ❤️

[@SabrinainStoryland]

I work at a huge hospital in Michigan and right now we are in a slow stage during this pandemic. I have been bringing my books into work as well! I'm trying to lean towards books I have at home because I'm just going from work to home and literally no where else! I am going to attempt to read The Daughter by Jane Shemilt and All The Missing Girls by Megan Miranda!

[@msmartin9887]

These are some AWESOME book suggestions! I love love LOVE your book recs and suggestions. With all this extra time on our hands lately, we might as well look into some great new reads. In my book talks, I personally love reading some engaging excerpts and giving a bit of info about who the characters are and how the plot caught my interest. Keep up the great work!

[@booksandteawithanna-marie6395]

So excited to see your thoughts on Crescent City! I just finished it and had SO many thoughts. I’m I Sarah J. Maas fan and this book is full of classic SJM tropes and traits. I had a few problems with it, but overall I enjoyed it so much!! Happy reading!

[@alisonreece669]

I've recently read Orphan Monster Spy and The Fountains of Silence. They're both great, and I really enjoyed them!

[@juliaisagoodwitch]

I’m almost done reading The Fountains of Silence and it is soooooo good!!

[@kelseyh1946]

Sending good vibes your way, and hoping that reading will help take your mind off things. I know some people have been disappointed by The Honey Don’t List, but I actually really enjoyed it. Happy Reading!

[@alisha1341]

This video just made me see how much you’ve grown into yourself over the years!! You really look comfortable on camera, it’s nice to watch someone who seems like they’re enjoying filming it 😊🙏

[@sierralondenberg3204]

I absolutely loved Graceling and the Graceling trilogy! I think that Cashore was ahead of her time in the writing and it is just a fantastic story. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it.

[@renreno21]

I LOVED The Starless Sea, definitely recommend the audiobook, it was great.

[@ThinkingBoutMusic]

Starless Sea as audiobook was great :) i read most of it as audio and really enjoyed the narrator and it fit the sort of "storytelling" style of the book imo

[@georgiefarr1094]

In April, I'll be reading adult books and this is my 3rd year doing it. I've been calling it April Adult Fiction Novel Month. Your video "The Best Adult Romance Books" has been a video I have been watching none stop because adult fiction has become one of my favourite genres for the past few years. I haven't read any Christina Lauren books but hopefully, I'll order one online because none of the shops sell Christina Lauren and also, they'll all closed 😓😓. But very excited to read adult fiction 🤩🤩🎀🎀

[@valeriebuvens2091]

I loved the night circus and I’m currently reading the starless sea ,I’m only 120 pages in but I preferred the night circus

[@love2loveheart10]

Omg you were the 4th booktuber that recommended reading the book and listening to the audiobook at the same time! I was in a reading slump and I did it 10/10 would recommend! So good!

[@merreads]

Crescent City and The Starless Sea are on my TBR, despite them both having such mixed reviews. I'm on hold for them and can't wait to pick them up! Hope you enjoy them, I'm excited to hear your thoughts on them.

[@VidhyaVLbooks]

Yaaaay! I’ve got some great books for my April TBR! I’ve got a video up on my channel for the owls this year! Excited about your list too!

[@eilishjewell2705]

Reading Pudding at the moment and it's great. Love reading it. Very light read ❤️❤️

[@kinseycirenza7375]

The foundations of silence is great!!!

[@emmabartram6429]

The graphic Audio book of mistborn is amazing and would recommend if your having trouble getting into it x

[@zalebabe]

Currently starting my new book this month I plan on reading three since they are smaller books

[@carolinetaylor3069]

I’m almost done rereading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban so I can read books 4-7 for the first time (I’ve seen all the movies). I’m probably going to start Goblet of Fire tomorrow and I’m so excited!

[@Haybayz]

Caroline Taylor Goblet is so great!!!! Enjoy 😊

[@Blue-nn9sn]

I have a lot of books in my TBR already but here I am searching more and don't have a clue how to manage

[@morganmurphyloves1D]

I read Graceling in high school and read it really fast. Still one of my favorite fantasies to this day!

[@keirarogan454]

I'm currently reading The Starless Sea via audiobook and I'm really enjoying it! I do really like the narrator. It's definitely a very different sort of format, but I think it works for audiobook very well, because it is quite slow and gorgeous and by listening I find that I can appreciate the sound and the beauty of the sentences without feeling impatient! (I've been playing games on my phone at the same time hehe)

[@kaitlynterzian3517]

I love how you curl your hair!!

[@ambikajadoonanan2852]

I just finished the Starless Sea and absolutely loved it! 💛 Erin Morganstern has such a unique way with words bringing her story telling skills to stand out! This book would be nice for persons who like puzzles, games etc as we go back and forth in time and piece the puzzle together until the end of the story. It's not a typical fantasy and I also love that about this. 😍🔥💫

[@salthiravalleyhearth5126]

Just started reading Crescent City by Sarah J Maas. I find it slow to get going but for the moment so far I am enjoying it. Finding it hard with Black Leopard Red Wolf by Marlon James.

[@Ani_naj]

I'm not really planning ahead what I'm going to read, but I'm currently reading a book I'm excited for called Deutsches Haus (The German House) by Annette Hess, which is set in 1963 and a young woman is hired to be a translator in the Auschwitz trials in Frankfurt. I read The Fountains of Silence last month and it was so good!

[@MLLatUtube]

The top of my TBR for April is Eight Perfect Murders. I read The Starless Sea and gave it 3 stars - the writing is lovely and makes this a good read but I didn't find myself connecting with the characters. I have also been having trouble concentrating on reading and really just going with mood reading right now. Stay well!

[@morganjones2744]

Love your videos! Ive been stuck in a bad reading slump. Trying not to buy books and just read what i have on my shelves. A struggle. Your vid has encouraged me to just pick up books and read em till i find the one *or 6.* So thank you!

[@hollyc.7889]

Yes the starless sea is beautiful it did remind me of Wonderland and I would definitely recommend the audiobook

[@anitababcock8238]

Just finished The Honey Don’t List 15 minutes ago, I really enjoyed it!

[@KayleighExOh]

I am reading crescent city also !

[@chvp4605]

I also keep books for certain seasons and I need to stop that!! Also great video, I really missed booktube, now that I have free time I have finally started watching again and I'm loving it!!💕✨

[@madisyngifford3507]

Awe you look so beautiful in this girl!

[@blueswan7655]

I LOVE Orphan Monster Spy. It is THE BEST and literally no one I know has read it! It’s so so good 💖

[@melslittlebooknook]

I got The Lovely War and Between Shades of Grey audiobooks! Also on a historical fiction kick as well.

[@sanelasmolo3656]

I loved this video! ❤️My tbr is also very ambitious! 😂😂😂

[@karenhable7113]

I'm 250 pages into Crescent City, and it's finally picking up. I'm in now!

[@freckledklutz]

The fountains of silence is so amazing!!! I had trouble putting that one down! I also love historical fiction! Wolf by Wolf series is so good! Puddin is both wholesome, girly badass and great female friendships you will love it! I am almost done all my library books so my tbr consists of all the books I haven't read off my shelf! Currently halfway through Dark Dawn and trying to finish the beast that is the Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. After that its anyone's guess!

[@jessward3133]

I love your video and think you are amazing....when I struggle to get into a book cos my mind is going to over places I like to watch your video or other book tubers as i think helps we to stay focused on what I'm reading

[@yabookprincess]

I'm reading Harry Potter for the first time and I'm on Order of the Phoenix too! I'm excited for your Wrap Up video if you get to it just to hear your overall thoughts once you've re-read the book. Anyway, sending you love and good vibes from Slovenia. P. S. It's been a few years since I've watched booktube but I'm finally getting back into it and it's so nice to see how much you blew up! I've been one of your subs on my other account when you had under 10k and I'm so so proud of the things you're doing and the content you're putting out

[@ACourtofHooksAndBooks]

OMG Graceling is literally one of my favorite book series of all time. Kristin Cashore was really a front runner when it came to diverse feminist fantasy - and the romance subplots are to die for. The trilogy is amazing, but Fire is my favorite with Bitterblue being my "least" favorite (still a 5 star).

[@whotookmyeffingcookie]

Graceling is an amazing book I remember reading it and the companion in middle school and I was obsessed.

[@anthonyfitzpatrick3904]

Absolutely adored The Starless Sea. Read along with the audiobook. Highly recommend.

[@lilyp353]

Hailey please read Orphan Monster Spy!! You'll love it so much!

[@ABASAHPURPLE11]

I’m listening to the audiobook of Lovely War right now and it’s AMAZING one of my favorite historical books I’ve read and the best audiobook I’ve ever listened to!

[@jeepersfred6796]

i just remembered how much i love starry eyes i gotta reread that one!

[@jamiemasters2464]

Crescent city is such a whirlwind! It has some flaws that bugged me a bit, but I still loved it!!! I cried 4 times 😂

[@tallulahpauline3327]

Finished a book that I started in March, took me forever to read it. Poison Princess, I didn’t Like how it was going, but the ending shocked me and I now want to read/listen the rest of the series because the ending was that good.

[@nalhsreiqrs8289]

Passion of Dolssa is one of my favorite books of all time! And the fact that it is historical fiction and I don't normally read such books means it's that great for me. I hope you'll love it. 😊

[@jaci6280]

Cresent city is sooo goood😍 the first chapters I didn't feel the story but it gets better and better with every page!!! I got so addicted in the end so for me it was a quick read! Please read it it is so goooodddd

The Graceling is SO good! Hoping you’ll get around to reading it🥰

[@TheBookishMom]

I really want to pick up Graceling, I have heard a lot of great things about it! I picked up Wolf by Wolf on Book Outlet the other day and I am excited to read it, I didn't know it had a sequel, that makes me more excited. Orphan Monster Spy sounds SO good as well!

[@patheinen1]

I really love watching your channel. You have such a fun personality and are a natural for the camera. Although I don't read fantasy, a lot of the other books sound interesting.

[@palakjain406]

I need to go big on reading this month. I'm 5 books behind and it's not that I've been lazy but I was busy and then all the books I picked were some heavy ones. Like I told myself no suicide related, no complex mystery that I beat my brain around or complex fantasy. Just some light read would be better. But I want some recommendation for sure.

[@meliimii8104]

just finished crescent city a couple of days ago and i loved it! i don´t think that it contains too much information in the beginning (it´s a lot, but it´s okay) and i´m not even a native english speaker. so it´s not too difficult to geht through the first pages. i really recommend it to everyone

[@sarathehomesteadreader3315]

I've been doing a lot of audiobooks while playing Animal crossing too XD. As far as Starless Sea...It does have a really good audiobook but I recommend reading along physically. It relies a lot on subtle nuances. While it does have some Wonderland vibes, there's a hefty amount of inception aspects to it too. The story within a story within a story... It's one of those books that the more times you read the more things you discover. Best of luck with your reading this month. Hope you are staying safe!
