Cozy Reading Recommendations!

[@meiagal]

HAVE to let you know...English not being my primary language, watching your videos for all these years has tremendously helped in developing my vocabulary. This might sound really random but all your reads have come to fruition and helped so many others like me, I'm sure. The way you incorporate so many different words with such ease makes it really helpful. Thanks a lot. Lots of love :)

[@lottevanrijssel]

Literally this

[@TheEnchantedLibrary]

Autumn is my favourite time to read in because being cozy is the BEST. Windows open, leaves changing, massive cup of tea, sweater and blanket with a huge fantasy novel? Yes, that is my perfect day (bonus points if there's some rain haha). I have been so eager to read Way of Kings!

[@TheAMANDAduhhh]

Could you do a Brandon Sanderson where to start video? There’s so many lol I want to get into his work but it’s so overwhelming 😩

[@Dreamin2Believe]

YAS! This is such a good idea!

[@katywilbur2989]

Oh! I'm doing this now! The general recommendation is to start with Mistborn:The Final Empire and do the first "Era" or 3 books in the series. Then the recommendations kind of split - either to continue with the Mistborn Wax & Wayne, go to his first book, Elantris, or Warbreaker. I went with Warbreaker and am on Elantris now. I plan on finishing Elantris, then going to The Emperor's Soul (novella in Elantris universe), then Wax & Wayne (and sidestories), then Stormlight Archive/Way of Kings. I used this to help me figure it out (no spoilers in link, just shows how the books are connected): scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/85905/reading-order-for-cosmere-series-by-brandon-sanderson

[@TheAMANDAduhhh]

Katy Wilbur Thank you so much! I’ll check out the site. 😊

[@TaniaRayOfLight]

You can go to his website, it has a "where do i start?" little section. I would reccomend Elantris!

[@subhakhan1900]

There is a section on his website that's a guide on where to start with his books! Also if you look online there is a chart that has timeline of the cosmere universe as well! I recommend starting with the Final Empire!

[@Alcox88]

I never read middle grade bc it’s just not my thang, but I work at a bookstore and always have parents needing recommendations for their kids. Watching your videos legit gives me so many middle grade options that I can tell them about and I’m so thankful!

[@circusofdamned3206]

If you like The Nightingale you would like Lilac Girls. It has very similar vibes and themes. It fallow three women and there struggles from 1939 to mid 1950s. It an amazing tale. Highly recommend esspecially the audio book.

[@Amyduckie]

It’s getting warm here, but it’s still cool at night, thank goodness. I would recommend Outlander by Diana Gabaldon or The Night Circus by Erin Morganstern.

[@BasicallyBrittx]

I'm currently reading Strange the Dreamer and I'm LOVING it!! It's so good! Definitely a perfect cosy read

[@jedijoey3]

is it just me or is harry potter perfect for fall?

[@gracie9658]

Nah it's not just you. Fall is the best time for HP.

[@ansreekanth6838]

technically... when is not the perfect time for harry :P

[@emilygrace1160]

I’ve never read HP 😭 or seen the movies. I’m so afraid at this point it won’t live up to the hype. I’m still gonna read it though.

[@gracie9658]

@@emilygrace1160 Giiiirl you need to pick thw books up. I assure you it more than lives up to the hype 😁

[@thebookbella4764]

Harry Potter is good during the holidays in general. It has aspects of Halloween and I love the descriptions of their snowy Christmas! They are so warm and inviting!

[@symoneontheinternet]

I love middle grade adventure too :) it's so fun! Also...there's a talking cat...like it's an automatic read when talking animals are involved

[@melanie6759]

I loved Nevermoor & 100% agree it’s perfect for fall. I just checked out Tempests and Slaughter, can’t wait to read it! Also your sweater looks so cute & cozy! Love it 😊

[@jessicaharward3861]

Elantris by Brandon Sanderson. It was such a good fantasy i flew through it in a week!

[@lipstickandbourbon2027]

Red Sister by Mark Lawrence - warrior nuns and magic school! I'm impatiently waiting for Grey Sister which I put on hold as soon as I finished the first one!

[@klyn4691]

lipstick andbourbon It’s so crazy that you’re mentioning this book because I was literally looking into it just yesterday

[@lipstickandbourbon2027]

So good!

[@rangerlucy1998]

It is so good. I just got the grey sister E-book which I almost never do, but it was on sale and I need grey sister, but can’t afford the hard cover right now

[@Goosecheeks]

Nevermoor really is an amazing book, I could see this series getting huge. It does have Harry Potter feelings, not in plot, but in the feeling of being introduced to something magical, unique and whimsical while reading it. I definitely second that recommendation!

[@natalietannous2232]

I just finished The Bear and the Nightingale and picked it up because of you. I loved it SO much! Thank you for the rec

[@booksandwoollysocks]

Wonder is such a cosy read, it just makes me feel so warm and happy ✨

[@cassianladue9493]

I just started The Way of Kings last week!!! I’m totally hooked 🤗

[@peaches3450]

I loved The Nightingale! I read it over Thanksgiving vacation and I agree that it was perfect for chilly cozy weather. I’ll have to pick up some of the others!

[@4p853]

I like your style look casual chick but yet you always look so elegant 😊

[@witheredahlia]

Just started reading Nevermoor yesterday! Loving it so far!

[@TheWordN3rd]

VE Schwab's Shades of Magic series are my favorite cozy read. I pull them off the shelf all the time when I want something to flip through that will make me feel nostalgic. I honestly love her magic system, it feels a little familiar, but a little bit new all at the same time and it combines two of my favorite tropes that I did not know I needed combined.

[@eidechsebernstein954]

Oh I love that world too! But I can't stomach Lila, she is so annoying ... But the world makes up for it

[@balint667]

I was so happy when you said the stormlight archive is your favorite series :') same

[@kiannamoss4896]

Omg that cardigan is glorious!

[@XCatherine]

I LOVE THE WAY OF KINGS!! I still need to read the others but GOSH THAT WAS AWESOME

[@maddielmo]

‘Followed by Frost’ by Charlie N Holmberg is such a good read. This girl is cursed by a wizard to be as cold as her heart. I couldn’t put it down and I just wanted to snuggle in bed and read it cause it made me feel cold like you mentioned lol. I really like all of Charlie N Holmberg books. Highly recommend her if you haven’t had a chance to read anything by her yet. I discovered her through the Paper Magician series!

[@thebookbella4764]

I read the great alone by Kristen Hannah and The Nightengail is on my TBR because The Great Alone was so amazing! Excellent recommendations as always!

[@walks_with_me]

Thanks for the recommendations! I definitely feel inspired to read some of these books.

[@booknatural8349]

Tempest and Slaughter is amazing, I got it from Netgalley and honestly wasn't sure what it was about but I need up loving it. I also highly recommend The Night Circus for one of those cozy reading days. its amazing you won't ever regret reading it

[@shelleylawrence8397]

I love your earrings so much and also your sweater. Thanks for the book recs!

[@girlwiththemagicpen]

Wow, I guessed Nevermoor before you held it up. I might have to check it out since I keep hearing about it.

[@theultimatereader5142]

I was so happy when you said nightingale, that book is my soul mate

[@erinpeakovic1]

So cliche but I always love The Harry Potter series this time of year. I've just started diving into The Way of Kings. The Nightengale is on my TBR. I read The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah this year and it is fantastic!! Also perfect for this time of year!

[@hannamelba375]

Just bought two books even before the end of this video... Thank you for your videos. They always make my day x

[@VampireGirlSarahL]

I've been dying to read Strange the Dreamer! ugh! sounds so good! A book I have been cozy with this fall is the third book in the Stalking Jack Ripper series by Kerri Maniscalco called Escaping from Houdini and it's full of mystery and secret midnight dealings and overall just a wonderful read for the season!

[@LibraryBandit]

You're the first booktuber I've seen recommend the Winternight Trilogy! Ahhh! I'm reading the second one now and I'm feeling so many things. Subscribing just for this. Rock on!

[@akirakairi4629]

I actually waited many years for wondla to complete! It deserves more love

[@carolinetaylor3069]

Your synopsis of Nevermoor kind of gives me Magnus Chase vibes and I am HERE FOR IT.

[@jamisondouglas6392]

The sequel for Nevermoor was supposed to come out on Sept. 25, but they pushed it back to Nov. 13

[@legendaryreader39]

Planning to read Nevermoor soon

[@teribakerreads]

Thank you for your recommendations. They are just enticing.

[@wonderfulmeep4970]

All these books sound so good!! I have Strange the Dreamer and am hoping to get to it soon (once October's past and I take a break from horror). Nevermoor sounds so cute! I'm adding it to my TBR :D

[@malavikaps5015]

I love nevermoor soooooo much I wanna cry 💕💕😍😍

[@subhakhan1900]

I love your videos but could you do more book reviews! I would love to hear your more indepth thoughts on some of your favs!

[@waitasecond3]

I LOVE historical fiction, especially WW2 fiction and I can confirm - The Nightingale is SOO GOOOOD

[@maryandjoeadams1425]

Hi Reagan. I love your channel. I know it’s because I love reading a good book. Only I use iBooks. So I don’t have to store my books now. I’m new to KZbin. Only 8 months in. I found you a few months ago. So keep going. You are great.

[@DanicaAndVictoria]

I think you might like "Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow" by Jessica Day George.

[@jezettemarquez8106]

I just read the search for wondla trilogy because of this vid. And i love it so much 😭😭 thank you for recommending it. Ill also read the other books mentioned here ❤️

[@hanaalfayez7150]

The bear and the nightingale is my favorite book I am thinking of rereading it

[@thebookborough]

I really want to pick up Nevermoor and get into middle grade fantasy a bit more. They make such good easy, fun reads. I’ll also be able to recommend them to my daughter. I enjoyed Strange the Dreamer more than I thought. Not a huge fan of the lyrical writing style because it seems like she can get carried away with it at times. I have the Bear and the Nightingale on my shelf so definitely excited for that. Too intimidated to read a Brandon Sanderson book and I’m currently reading The Nightingale!

[@isaacflores1366]

There is a good cozy reading book called death by eggnog. It is a Christmas mystery novel

[@rebekahmackenzie]

Love your cardigan!

[@katrinamichelle5292]

Awesome recs!!! I can't wait to finally get around to a Brandon Sanderson novel. Everybody raves about his books so much that I'm sure they must be amazing! If you haven't read Sophie Quire and the Last Storyguard by Jonathan Auxier, I highly recommend it! It's an MG fantasy that is the EPITOME of coziness.

[@digitalbookbath]

I LOVE YOUR EARRINGS SO SO MUCH! where did you get them?

[@angelgood1867]

Maria Moreno I don’t know where she got hers, but if I were you I’d try Amazon or Charming Charlie’s because I’ve seen some really similar ones over there.

[@8mdg8]

I love love love your earrings!!!

[@ariellakahan-harth8831]

For a dark cozy read, I suggest If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio. There's a school setting, lots of Shakespeare, and murder.

[@ansreekanth6838]

I finished Scythe and Thunderhead and i cannot wait for the last one... I am unable to read any book after that ending

'Nevermore's' description reminds me of 'Beautiful Creatures'

I love middle grade book story! Been wanting to have a physical copy of nevermoor but we still don't have it here in our country such a bummer 😪

[@tanyaflorencio1707]

Another awesome video Regan :) You are such a pleasure to watch and I always look forward to new videos in my feed! Please could you recommend me some WW2 and Russia based novels as I also love those types of books too :) They can be non fiction or fiction, it's up to you :D As for my cosy time read, I would have to pick Salt To The Sea by Ruta Sepetys because it's so atmospheric and fits with this time of year so well :) I hope you have a great day and I will look forward to new videos!

[@ariadnamatfei3923]

Hi, I think you would really love The Bartimaeus trilogy by Jonathan Stroud😀 It's a middle grade story set in London where magicians are the ruling class and it's narrated from the perspective of Bartimaeus, a five-thousand-year-old djinni that's super sassy. It's one of my favourite books 😍😍😍😍

[@readbymarta2781]

i once saw the nightingale for 5 euros at my local bookshop.... i regret not getting it SO much

[@Mrs.Moriarty]

Beside Harry Potter for me cozyreading Books are e.g. die Song of the Lionness books from Tamora Pierce (I will always love them the most from all her books), some Books of Kate Morton especially The Distant Hours and The Lake House. Fangirl and Carry On from Rainbow Rowell, To all the boys Ive loved before vom Jenny Han, Jane Eyre from Charlotte Bronte (yes its dark but Janes Story always gives me a warm feeling), Widow for one year from John Irving (ok every book from this author gives me this special cozy feeling), The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society Shaffer, Mary Ann ( I mean xocme on a reading Society which got this name ^^ but the story is also very heartwarming, I love it so much)

[@eidechsebernstein954]

Knowing your love of Russian history, would you ever consider making a video on Dostoevsky? I just finished Crime and Punishment and it was just amazing
