[@stellash9012]

Omg you got Carry On! I just finished reading it. I'm sure you've heard all of the hype surrounding, and it's well deserved! Can't wait for you to read it XD

[@lizhomick2121]

Between Shades of Grey will kill you 😭😭😭😭 so good

[@sophieluvsbooks2629]

+Stella Sheehy Hebb I'm so excited!

[@sophieluvsbooks2629]

+Liz Homick I'm looking forward to it!

[@SamsCozyCorner]

+Sophie Luvs Books Theft of Swords! yayyyyy! You'll love it! ;)

[@caith475]

The Grisha world is based on different country's/places/cultures. Each country is based on another place. Ravka is indeed based on Russia, but Kerch is based on The Netherlands, and Fjerdan is based on Scandinavia and Shu Han is based on China I believe! In the Grisha trilogy you got mostly Ravka, but Six of Crows takes place in both Kerch and Fjerdan :) I'm excited for you to read it, Six of Crows is one of my favorite books of the year :D

[@annamangnus5970]

I haven't read grisha yet but I love six of crows sooooo much!! I can't wait for its sequel!

[@welldonebooks]

yay Furiously Happy is fantastic! if you like it, you need to read her first memoir (Let's Pretend This Never Happened). and yessss, Six of Crows!!

[@dannight9683]

How do you get ARCs?

[@aflowerthatcannotbebloomed]

you can mail publishers and request a book or you can go to netgalley (hope i spelled it right) and request arcs this is easier but the books are in e-book forn

[@not_them]

The Rook is one of my all time favourite fantasy novels, it's so funny and exciting. I just need the sequel to come out soon because it's been pushed back for around 2 years. I really hope you like it!!

[@Corneliasundberg]

I got Harry Potter illustrated, Enchanted Forest (colouring book) and the Mortal Instruments series!

[@Jadieum]

+Cornelia Sundberg I also got the illustrated version of Harry Potter.... best present ever!

[@Jadieum]

+Kelly Park haha, aw man.... nah my dad spent an entire month beforehand telling me he couldn't understand why anyone would want to spend money on something that stupid and then I would start ranting towards my mum about how he could say such a thing and she says she'd just be smiling on the inside.... they're evil.

[@abigail6394]

"This is the 4th book in the Falling Kingdoms trilogy." Lol! YESSS! Six of Crows! I think you'll love it!! Hope you had a great Christmas, Regan!

[@CappellaAdrienne]

I got so many books for christmas!! 1) all the bright places by jennifer niven 2) everything, everything by nicola soon 3) never always sometimes by adi alias 4) hello, goodbye, and everything in between by jennifer e. smith 5) you are here by jennifer e. smith 6) will grayson, will grayson by john green and david levithan 7) the 5th wave by rick yancey 8) the strange and beautiful sorrows of ava lavender by leslye walton 9) starry night by isabel gillies 10) ten thousand saints by eleanor henderson 11) the heartbreakers by ali novak 12) where she went by gayle forman 13) this song is (not) for you by laura nowlin 14) i'll give you the sun by jandy nelson

[@ulielie]

Matilda looks so lovely.

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

The Rook is absolutely fantastic! One of my all-time favorites. It is hilarious and fun. And there is supposed to be a sequel coming out in 2016!

[@nicolefila9777]

If I could make a prediction, I think the Nightengale will be a favorite for you. It will kick your heart's butt! By far my favorite book of 2015!

[@xbookwormqueenx]

The books I got for Christmas were: Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter Through the Zombie Glass by Gena Showalter The Queen of Zombie Hearts by Gena Showalter A Mad Zombie Party by Gena Showalter I Was Here by Gayle Forman The Book Thief by Markus Zusak All Fall Down by Ally Condie Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare

[@xbookwormqueenx]

I also got a kindle so I've downloaded a lot of books

[@thereasontoremember]

Regan you need to start mentioning your clothes/jewelry in the description- I love everything you wear and I'd love to know where you get some of your pieces!

[@thelucha-brarian6550]

I know OF Jim Butcher but have never tried to read any of his books. The Cinder Spires: the Aeronaut's Windlass sounds fantastic.

[@christy-anne-jones]

The Nightingale sounds amazing - and the cover is BEAUTIFUL.

[@tovaportmann]

Soundless sounds fascinating and The Glitter Court to. I love Richelle Mead.

[@JenniferPappas92]

Cuteness overload when your dog gave you a kiss in the beginning there.

[@sandraareads]

Furiously Happy is amazing!!! You should listen along to the audiobook as you're reading your physical copy. The author narrates it and she just made me so happy!

[@megrose4737]

Yes you will be spoiled for the Parasol Protectorate series if you read Etiquette and Espionage first. I highly recommend the audio books for the first series though! They are so funny and the main character is fantastic!

[@hannahellis3676]

Omg! I'm reading The Name of the Wind right now! I'm about halfway through and I'm already in love! Patrick's writing is so beautiful.

[@kriseaf]

As someone who read Etiquette and Espionage first (and then discovered the adult series, Soulless), you're okay. I understood the world and the story with no problems and it doesn't read as if anything is missing at all. The adult series takes place years after the YA series, so you see some cameos, but it is in no way necessary to read before E&E. It's also historical steampunk and fantasy, which add a hilarious and bizarre twist to the story when you try and describe it to others. You're going to love it (and the series is complete as of November, too!).

[@ErikaBDoesBookTube]

Illustrated HP was the only book I got for Christmas and that is just fine with me. Soooo beautiful!

[@Airhawk360]

THE ROOK! I haven't seen anyone else talk about that book, but I read it earlier this year and LOVED it, it's amazing.

[@daphneebeaulieu3484]

I got Every Day by David Levithan, My true love gave to me, landline by Rainbow Rowell and Everything, Everything

[@BorichaConsumer]

I got The Nightingale as well. Can't wait to read it, but I just finished All the Light We Cannot See, so I feel like I should read something else in between before returning to a book with such similar themes.

[@MelissasBooks]

Six of Crows is so amazing, I love the characters so much! I also just finished The Name of the Wind and absolutely fell in love, just started the sequel :)

[@Idahsandersons]

I would say that you can read Etiquette and Espionage before Gail Carrigers adult series. I've read both and there are some conections but it's like Cassandra Clare's book in that aspect, some characters are in both but you could still read them seperately!

[@snowysandysparky]

I literally screamed when you pulled up "The Nightingale." It's absolutely fantastic. Very sad, but inspiring and well-written.

[@TheSunriseInside]

The universe versus Alex woods is one of my favorite books! It's so awesome. I hope you love it, too!!

[@XY-bz7xk]

I got myself Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, Snow Like Ashes, Clockwork Prince and Clockwork Princess! I'm quite happy about it.

[@BacklistBiblio]

I suggest listening to The Nightingale as you read! I loved the audiobook to much!! It was definitely my favorite read of 2015! Hope you enjoy it!

[@PaperbackPrimaDonna]

My friend JUST finished the Finishing School series and loved it! She didn't read the adult series though, and it didn't affect her enjoyment at all. So have it! 😊

[@terric.876]

I also got Six of Crows for Christmas!! And I received The Orphan Queen by Jodi Meadows, An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir, The Heart of Betrayal by Mary E. Pearson, Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover, Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes by Rick Riordan, and Night World volumes 2 and 3

[@kaitrooney3523]

"it is the fourth book in the fallen kingdoms trilogy" lolol Reagan you are so real and honest and relatable, it's one of the reasons you're one of the top youtubers I follow and trust reviews of. I hope you had a great Christmas with family and friends!!

[@missquinns]

I got illuminae, carry on, six of crows, ten thousand skies above you and the philosophers stone illustrated edition. Frozen tides should also be arriving soon!

[@nonono6537]

the universe versus alex woods is one of the best books i have ever read. it made me cry so bad, it's just absolutely wonderful in every possible way!!

[@gracefulbooks7320]

I only got one book this year for Christmas even though my christmas list was 70% books. But on the bright side I got a bunch of gift cards to barnes & noble!

[@mahrysanchez]

My god! I love your channel, your videos and you're my absolute favorite booktuber because we share the same tastes in books. Anything you're interested in immediately catches my eye. Your videos make me sightly sad because I can't really get many physical books due to poverty so I have to be a bitch sometimes and torrent them :/ I want to make a booktube as well, but I'm afraid it won't flourish. Anyway, I am glad you got so many great books! You're awesome, keep up the videos. I loooove them.

[@JeanetteAlexandra]

You should make one! Even if it doesn't flourish you'll have a handful of people who still love your channel and the community is so much fun!

[@IshamaMarium]

Ive a similar situation, mine is cuz my place dsnt have all sort of books...so yeah im depending on ebooks

[@MissRamos79]

I've had Etiquette and Espionage on my bookshelf for years. I just recently got the second book in the series as well. I will need to try it get to them soon. Thanks for the heads up on Cupcakes and Trinkets, I went and downloaded it.

[@Barbs1989]

Also Yes for Ettiquette & Espionage! Gail Carriger is one of the most underrated authors!

[@UmbraKrameri]

Aww, I've read The Universe Versus Alex Woods almost exactly two years ago and it's one of my all time favourites. I don't want to spoil it for you, but Alex doesn't really have mental illness, he just finds hard to fit in because a strange childhood accident left him with severe epilepsy. Anyway, he is a very witty and interesting main character and there are some serious topics included in the novel which were quite shocking for me.

[@SiriusScientist]

I bought Wise Man Fears right after reading The Name of the Wind, but am only just now starting it. I added a couple others in your haul to my never ending TBR pile. I loved Furiously Happy and am looking forward to your upcoming reviews!

[@kurokokoro26]

I received 2 books this Christmas! Six of Crows (with the black pages as well) and Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk! The Grisha Trilogy is one of my favorite series so I was so excited to get Six of Crows. And Fight Club is one of my favorite movies and I've wanted to read the book since FOREVER but I could never find it.

[@thebigbooktheory9734]

The Rook is absolutely amazing! One of my favorite books of this year for sure.

[@brittbrat13]

And for Xmas I got the whole Immortal Instruments series, The Maze Runner series, Soundless by Richelle Mead, and the Harry Potter coloring book

[@michelleli3373]

"I love thieves." omg. :D I got the Lunar Chronicles for Christmas!!! The first three, cuz I already got Winter (signed!!!) during Black Friday! I also preordered Lady Midnight. SO HAPPY!!

[@jekkala]

Yaaaaas Patrick Rothfuss! I just got his short novel from the same world. Cannot wait for him to continue the series.

[@stellash9012]

The only got The Amazing Book Is Not On Fire and The Maze Runner series for Christmas but I also got a book voucher so I'll be getting some more soon!

[@WreckThatMargin]

I'm reading the Universe Versus Alex Woods right now. It is, so far, incredible. Alex is such an interesting and amazing character and narrator. I love him so much. I can't wait to hear what you think about it.

[@shandralynne]

Have Kleenex handy when you read The Nightingale. I read it a couple weeks ago. Phenomenal book.

[@nanyprincesa]

I just received The Lake House by Kate Morton. I'm really excited by that, so.

[@claireherrington6328]

WINTER WAS SO GREAT!!!!!! Definitely worth taking the time to get through the 800-something pages.

[@caseyjonvea9304]

THE UNIVERSE VS ALEX WOODS!!! Oh my god. It's very very good! It's amazing ugh, so excited to hear your thoughts about it.

[@wabaweeba]

The Nightingale was beautiful but also unbearably sad. I hope you enjoy it!

[@AverageB-side]

I have read all of Gail Carriger's novels. She is one of my favorites and I think you will enjoy both the Victorian aspects as well as how funny they are. I don't think you have to read The Parasol Protectorate series before you read the Finishing School novels per say but you might get more out of them. They are blatantly written for different audiences but all her novels take place in the same world and there are characters that overlap from one series to another. I would probably at least read Soulless first to get your bearings on how that world works politically but the first adult series is my favorite so that might be biased.

[@GhostsOfThings]

Cupcake, trinkets, and other deadly magic: urban fantasy - check. free - check. based in a small town outside vancouver where, incidentally, I also live - check. Will be checking that one out!

[@x0xmikkix0x]

I have read Etiquette and Espionage and didn't read her parasol protectorate series and I LOVE the YA series! You don't need to read her adult series first at all!

[@hayleighstonham8150]

I got Snow Like Ashes and Ice Like Fire by Sara Raasch, The Rose Society by Marie Lu, and books 1-5 in A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin (btw they're leather bound and in a box set). I've been wanting to read Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin. Happy Holidays!!!

[@Amanda-nq6mw]

I can't wait to read Soundless, Aeronaut's Windlass and the Finishing School series. I got The World According to Bob (cat book) and Drown (a retelling of Little Mermaid)

[@Celticknit1]

I am looking forward to reading "Nightingale" too! Look forward to your thoughts. Merry Christmas and happy reading :-)

[@zessicajak1173]

I only got six books for Christmas and I have a book list five pages long. I got Oblivion by Jennifer L. Armentrout, which I just finished, Opal also by Jennifer L. Armentrout, Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins, The Amazing book is not on Fire by Dan and Phil, The Book of Blood and Shadow by Robin Wasserman, and the last book to my favorite series in the world Skulduggery Pleasant The Dying of the Light by Derek Landy. But the book buying is not over, because I got gift cards to two different book stores YAY!

[@goharajmal5916]

Nighingale is a great book i am half way through it and i loved how it is written. ❤️

[@Hollyheartsart]

I got 5 books for Christmas and and 3 for my birthday! =) Which was the 21st. Also money to just spend on books. lol

[@ianaedrianneawayan2343]

+Holly Hearts Art Yes! Good for you! I got the Throne of Glass Series and The Mortal Instruments series on my birthday and I received Christmas money from my Mom which I used to buy The Lunar Chronicles. Lol. I guess for us booklovers we spend most of our money on books. XD #ProblemsOfABookNerd

[@Hollyheartsart]

That's funny that you mention the Mortal Instruments series because I am reading currently reading City of Bones for the first time. ^^

[@ianaedrianneawayan2343]

Holly Hearts Art Cool! Hahaha. I'm still reading Throne of Glass though. I'm still gonna finish the entire series before I'll read The Mortal Instruments then The Lunar Chronicles. :D

[@Taleofthegreat]

Jim Butcher's new book is also on my TBR and Idk when I'll get to it! Would be lovely to hear what you think :)

[@queenigelkotte]

The finishing school series is AMAZING!!! It's definitely one of my all time favs. Also I read it before reading Carriger's adult series and I don't think it made much of a difference so if you want to read it now, GO FOR IT :D

[@levitatedcat]

OH MY GOD REGAN!! That book by Jim Butcher looks like Treasure Planet!! And by the way you described it too oh my goood I'm captivated, ever since I watched Treasure Planet, I've been wanting to read something with like space pirate vibes for ages. I seriously hope it's good.

[@veronicavolumes]

Yayyyy!! Six of Crows!! That was my #2 top read of the year! I really think you'll like it!

[@LovelyIris22]

The wise man's fear is sooooo good. You're gonna love it I'm sure.

[@thelucha-brarian6550]

The Wise Man's Fear is glorious. Patrick Rothfuss is my favorite author and any time I see any BookTuber discussing his books I get so giddy. I cannot wait to see what you think. Edit: Also, when you first put the book on camera, I paused and commented. The fact that you used the same word, glorious, to describe the book makes me laugh.

[@Sarah.reads.sometimes]

I'm currently reading Furiously Happy and I can tell you that it is freaking wonderful. She's so weird and so funny and has such good insight into mental illness and her furiously happy movement is great. Hope you enjoy!

[@kpophoar]

I personally didn't like Leigh Bardugo's Grisha trilogy either but loooooooved Six of Crows. I hope you like it too :D

[@deedsreadswithtea]

Six of crows was hands down the best book I read in 2015. It's one of those books where you couldn't put it down even if you tried :) Plus the characters are amazing (looking at you in particular Inej). Hope you read it soon!

[@xKUALOx]

Personally I think you can read Etiquette and Espionage first (that's the way I read it...and then started on her Parasol Protectorate series). Everyone has their own preferences but I don't feel like it would have made much difference to me if I read them the other way around either. It is a great book either way! ^_^

[@brittbrat13]

I am so jealous of that Glittering Court Arc!!

[@DontHaveaDegreeinReading]

Wolf By Wolf sounds too good to be true. It sounds like a novel that was written just for me to read! 😊 I didn't get too many books (actually I mainly got graphic novels)for Christmas, but I am excited to read what I got. What I got: 1. Leather bound A Song of Ice and Fire series (TOO beautiful...also feels like a bible) 2. Superman : Red Son 3. The Laughing Joke 4. We3 5. Flashpoint

[@readsandeats2263]

I got The Bronze Horseman, saw your review an d asked for it. Really looking forward to reading it.Like the sound of some of the ones you received. Enjoy the rest of the holidays.

[@ShunStories]

You dont HAVE to read the Parasol Protec. series before E&E, since E&E is set before that series. However, there are characters in that series (E&E) that are main characters in the first (P.P) with little jokes about things that come to be. Still a great read, both series xD

[@jamielou81]

I really enjoyed The Rook! I can't wait for the sequel to come out.

[@maymeeow]

I got two books that I asked for and they are the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and The Queen of the Tearling. And I'm super happy for both! And I also got an e-reader which is basically 1000 books more ;)

[@ramyakiran6653]

READ SIX OF CROWS!! IT'S SOOO AMAZING!!! It was easily my favourite book of the year!

[@GoToBedJoffrey]

I ordered Wolf by Wolf for a friend, thinking it'll be released in march (she's saying that she doesn't have any time because she has to study, so I thought I'd give her a book for christmas that's not out on christmas) and it ended up being made available on the 24th and it's actually on its way and now I kinda wish I would have bought it for myself xD

[@rsakina110]

I just bought Six of Crows!!! I haven't read the Grisha trilogy, but I'm excited to read SoC because the reviews have been so good!!

[@yourikobus6525]

the universe vs Alex woods is a great novel and really touching

[@calliemarie6055]

I finally got the Harry Potter illustrated edition! And The Sleeper and the Spindle!

[@solvictor6105]

I have to read everything that you recommend, is like Regan: read this me: of course

[@sandy9064]

I love anything by Gail Carriger, but you really do not have to read her other series first. They all take place in the same universe, and while the Parasol Protectorate series was started first, the Finishing School series actually takes place earlier in the timeline. There are characters that overlap in all three of her series, so lovely visits from old friends, and others linked to them are great surprises. Read away and enjoy Sophronia's adventures. If you enjoy funny, paranormal, steampunk, adventures you'll adore this series. Just remember this name...Bumbersnoot! Ooohhhh, The Rook sounds great. I just one-clicked it. Thanks for pointing it out. I have to go. So many books, so few sick days.

[@yoshiblack16]

I got Walled City because of you a few months back and I loved it. I'm totally getting Wolf by Wolf too.

[@sprinklesbyashley]

The Nightingale is AWESOME! if you like WWII books then you should check out the Storyteller by Jodi Picoult

[@CherrieWalker]

I love getting books for Christmas, I've not gotten around to doing my Christmas book haul yet but I'm hoping to get it up soon haha

[@SamsCozyCorner]

I need Six of Crows Badly! And Rook sounds amazing! Fun Christmas Haul :) I finally got my own boxset of the Anne books and the new boxset of Tamora Pierce's Wild Magic Quartet! yay! Happy Holidays Regan!

[@ethansummy2441]

That dog is adorable! I need to get some of these books soon. Great video!

[@hannahbright6276]

I ordered Six of Crows last night, and you literally said majority of the reasons i got it

[@peaches3450]

The Nightingale is AMAZING. you will love it.

[@Eddyka18]

The books I got for Christmas: 1. Secret Garden colouring book 2. The Amazing Book is Not on Fire The Rook sounds like it would be right up my ally.

[@historysoverture]

With Etiquette and Espionage, you don't have to read Gail's adult series first. You shouldn't have trouble understanding the story at all. It's just that all of her books are set in the same world and she's really good about intertwining characters and little details across the different series. So by not reading the Parasol Protectorate first, you might miss out on some little easter egg type things, but other than that, you should be fine to drive right into the Finishing School series.

[@MollyLikovich]

so jelly of the glittering court

[@claireloueeez]

I'm super excited about The Glittering Court even though I've never read anything by Richelle Mead :DI really want to read Etiquette & Espionage but I tried to read the first book in her previous adult series and I couldn't get through it, I just didn't like the writing style :/ Oh damn I need The Rook! I totally love Buffy but I also watched Kingsman: The Secret Service recently and now I'm kind of obsessed with that kind of thing XD

[@tracytalksbooks]

I picked up Wolf by Wolf earlier this month and I can't wait to read it :)
