[@HaileyinBookland]

Sorry about day 1 being a miss! For those of you who don't follow me on Twitter, I decided to skip it because I lost all the footage. Thanks for understanding. Hope you'll enjoy the rest of Bookmas!!! Also apparently Royals is set in summer so I know nothing WHAT ELSE IS NEW

[@lilycurran9248]

I'm reading the Game of Thrones books this winter because... y'know... winter is coming

[@linneasuomala1084]

Are the books good

[@linneasuomala1084]

I have lord of the rings on my tbr too so it's gonna take a while lol

[@aliceposiere]

Your comment made me laugh (x

[@speaking_bookish]

Lily Curran hahaha

[@jayalichy6258]

Unless you live in Australia. Like myself. And Christmas is in the middle of dead summer. ☀️🤬☀️

[@gmg4728]

does anyone else have a massive decembder tbr because of their goodreads reading challenge?

[@lillyambel5340]

🙋‍♀️

[@iliana.m]

ohh now you've mentioned it...!!! I had forgotten about my goodreads challenge and now I've realised...I'm very behind....! hahaha

[@brookemaywatson8643]

I do but it's not because of reading challenge suprisingly iv read 149 books so far this year my goal was 100😂

[@lillywhy]

Luckily I was smart this year and set my goal to only 1 book. 😂 I’ve completed the challenge 19 times over, so it says I’ve surpassed it by 1900%. It makes me feel accomplished.

[@mahnoorsargana2863]

ikr!!!!!

[@tinyelephant5087]

Bookmas is honestly one of the reasons why December is the best month

[@HaileyinBookland]

🎅💜

[@Sofia-kx3em]

YAS I love Bookmas

[@regitzexenia]

The Nutcracker is such a sweet and atmospheric story, I reread it for Christmas every year 🎄 I actually have the same edition 😍

[@HyDrOpYrO777]

The sims is amazing. It would eat up all my spare time because I love it. Also skyward is amazing. I got it last month and finished it quickly. The audiobook was wonderful and keep me hooked. It was my first taste of Brandon Sanderson and now I want to devour all of his books.

[@rebar351]

I loved 7 husband's so much!! I really enjoy Taylor Jenkins Reid's writing :)

[@emilymckenzie4110]

Both Swan Lake and the Nutcracker ballets are written by Tchaikovsky, so that's probably why you get wintery vibes :-) I too am planning on reading the Nutcracker and I have this gorgeous illustrated edition that I can't wait to jump into.

[@michelleg.8024]

Skyward is so good! I think it’s a great way for people to experience Sanderson without the hefty adult sci-fi tag attached. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the whole book!

[@CarinaSchrijft]

I have the same with Kingdom of Ash, I cant remember anything from the otherbooks anymore. So I started a re-read.. But it takesss for ever. I read the Royals in between because i wanted something more simple! Really liked it! :)

[@justwannasaysomethin]

I totally needed this video today. I just binged watched so many of your videos while I studied for finals lol you're seriously the only booktuber that I watch❤❤

[@sanjochick88]

For dark breaks the dawn- swans make me think of swan lake, which makes me think of ballerinas, which makes me think of the nutcracker, and then Christmas. So I totally get it lol

[@inabookshell]

Kingdom of Ash literally took me foreverrrr to finish but it is an amazing book with a great conclusion. Hope you love it!

[@kaylaercolano5246]

omg Jackson at the end! Love it 😍😍

[@tomboyz151]

Carols and Chaos sounds like Downton Abbey because the maid & the valet fall in love. ☺️

[@crescenthaven8969]

Finally someone who likes Frozen! I feel like everyone hates it because it's been talked about so much when it came out. I really like Frozen too. ❄⛄

[@AlyssaReids]

I love seeing all the Christmas books during this time of year. I never heard of the ones you mentioned, so obviously I added them to my tbr.

[@starlitbri]

So many books! I hope you can get through them all!

So many good Christmas and wintery reads! I really want to check all of these out!

[@daniella5014]

The intro and the outro are both so adorable!

[@theultimatereader5142]

The light between worlds is a Narnia retelling

[@laurasblondemoments]

SO many good ones for wintery vibes! I didn’t even think of adding Carols and Chaos or Stealing Snow to my TBR this month but now I want to read those too ⛄️

[@randomreader]

Enjoy KOA! I'm currently reading it and it's soooooo good! At first keeping track of the characters is hard, but once you get past the first 100 pages it's easier to follow along

[@readerella3300]

I read Kingdom of Ash in two days because of how much I loved it! I hope you love it too!

[@gmg4728]

YAAAY SO excited for bookmas

[@jonathankent4983]

Half my TBR now comes from your suggestions on these videos,especially the fantasy stuff,Happy Bookmas to you!

[@BlackDeathYuuki]

Good luck with your TBR! Those are some really cool books. Haven't read Skyward yet but I love Sanderson! Can't wait to get to it but that might take until January lol I find it funny though that you call it a big book.. to be a bit over 500 pages isn't exactly big. Well.. it is but could be bigger. But I'm German and most of our translated works tend to get bigger because of German grammar so.. I might just be really used to it lol

[@marynm.3975]

Your hair looks so amazing in this video! It’s beautiful!

[@tke8981]

You should check out Seanan McGuire’s Wayward Children series. It’s based entirely on the concept of what happens when kids return from fantasy worlds. It’s set at a group home for these children who desperately want to find the doorways back to their worlds. The first novella is called Every Heart A Doorway. The fourth novella, In An Absent Dream, comes out early next year. I promise you will love it.

[@РаяМаркова-т3к]

"Kiss me in New York" is one of my favourite books ❤️📚🗽

[@neophyte8]

Aaaa Uprooted is one of my favourite books of all time, I hope you like it!!!

[@avafitzgerald3785]

I just finished Dear Evan Hansen today and I would say listen to the songs first I did and It helped me make connections I could take brakes when a song came up in the book I recognized it was amazing 5/5 stars

[@genevieveking5078]

Your not only Hailey, I haven't read the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo either! I would like to maybe put it on my December tbr but I have a feeling I won't get to it till sometime next year. But maybe if you end up really loving it that could help motivate me because I read a decent amount of the same books you do!

[@FantasmicTravel]

So excited to see your Bookmas Hailey! A break will be so good for you girl, just stay away from the addicting Sims haha. Sims is a rabbit hole for me as well. I'm a big fan of the Nutcracker as well, so that one is on my TBR list too.

[@maxinehansford]

Did you read Every Heart a Doorway? It seems like it has kind of a similar premise as The Light Between Worlds. If you like that book, you might like Every Heart a Doorway.

[@katiecurry6921]

So excited for Bookmas! Also LOVE your sweater in this vid!

[@maddi7384]

i read stealing snow last year and i really enjoyed it!!

[@StephLoves]

Eeekkk... I have Skyward and The Light Between Worlds on my TBR this month too 😁✨

[@AwkwardBookworm]

Good luck with the reading!

[@ArchivesOfJina]

Bookmas is my favoriteeeeee❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lexiejones8755]

AHHHHH THE PICTURE OF JACKSON AT THE END

[@mayfia]

The color white gives me Christmas vibes so that might be why

[@rebar351]

I'm excited to hear your thoughts on The light between worlds! I really want to read It!!

[@speaking_bookish]

I’m currently reading Carols and Chaos! Not far enough in to make a comment but im excited for it!

[@BaileeWalsh]

I L O V E The Nutcracker, but I've never read the original story! Oh my goodness, I need the Dear Evan Hansen book! I love that deer on your shelf behind you! Cute! (In the top right-hand corner of the video.) Anna James is a booktuber! Her channel is called A Case For Books. She was recently on Sanne's channel booksandquills. They did a video together.

[@IzzyRain]

I haven't heard of most of these books. I'll have to check them out!

[@danie2729]

You could try book series recap for tower of dawn, it gives a very detailed summary which takes only 10 min to read and you're up to date!📚🎄💕⛄

[@KerriHughes]

royals is so funny, you'll definitely enjoy it! just only expect fun and humor, it's not deep lol but i was literally laughing out loud!

[@carolinetaylor3069]

I'm currently almost done reading Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson after reading half of the Mistborn trilogy and then putting it down for now. But Steelheart made me cry SO MUCH (and I'm really not a book crier). Definitely give Steelheart a try, it's shorter so it's not that hard to read compared to some of his other works, and I think it's a great introduction to his writing. Love you Hailey!

[@saragoldsmith2913]

I found a series by Mary E Person. It came out a while ago but it is my favorite read of the year. (Along with the spin off series that was released this year.) the first book is called, “The Kiss of Deception”. I don’t know if you have read this book series but it is amazing.

[@jingerlina]

Ooooh looking forward to you reading brandon sanderson. I finished the original mistborn trilogy this year. Probably going to start Warbreaker in the next day or two. Maybe Skyward would be my next read. Ive never tried reading scifi before.

[@TheWordN3rd]

I'm trying to convince my brother to get Skyward on audiobook so we can listen to it together. I loved his last Sci-Fi YA novel, so I'm really looking forward to his new one. Also, yes to taking December off! I finally finished revisions for my book and I'm not doing any more writing until January.

[@rosesarerosie9718]

My December TBR consist of See You in the Cosmos by Jack Cheng (finished it and loved it!), Renegades by Marissa Meyer (I'm on page 16 currently), Arch Enemies by Marissa Meyer, Unsouled by Neal Shusterman, Wintersong by S. Jae Jones and translated edition of Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. Okay, that's a lot because I usually only read 5 books a month and Renegades & Arch Enemies are hella thick, but let's try I guess?

[@Chislevs]

Omg if you haven't tried Brandon Sanderson books, you should try the Mistborn series - it's officially adult I suppose, but the main character is a 16-year old girl and it's one of my favourite fantasy books I've ever read (or listened to, I listened to the audiobooks)

[@BooksToAshes]

First time getting into avid reading during Bookmas. I'm so excited!

[@AbiofPellinor]

I always love your Christmas videos! It definitely gets me in the holiday spirit!

[@frannieforthoughts9527]

So happy you're doing vlogmas! This is my first year attempting it and it's being great so far! So exciting to see all the vlogmas videos popping up :D I'll be reading The Nutcracker too this month! I went to see the ballet once and it was incredible and magical but I've never read the book, so I can't wait to see how that is :D I'm currently reading Skyward! I't not as mindblowing as the other Sanderson books I've read so far but it's reeaaally good nonetheless!

[@enchantedelfie]

I’ve heard so much about Uprooted now, I may pick it up 🙂 happy reading! ✨📚

[@laurenknauer3981]

SO EXCITED FOR BOOKMAS

[@crazybooklady2104]

You should read gingerbread cookie murder and sugar cookie murder. And christmas caramel murder and candy cane murder. (Plus side all the books have great holiday dessert recipes) (it's a series too.)

[@elhaizacuevas212]

I've been waiting for this vid of yours. Gooonnnaaa read it all!

[@dreferre21]

The only new POV character in kingdom is Fenrys, one of the fae who is sent to Adarlan by Maeve in Empire of Storms

[@bookswithalyssaj449]

good luck getting through your tbr!

[@littlemissstilly]

Completely unrelated to the video but I work at Indigo too and when I'm on cash I notice I say "awesome" all the time, now I'm wondering if you say "Amazing" like you did in your bookcon vlogs to customers lololol

[@rebekahmackenzie]

Love the intro! Good luck with Bookmas! 🎄🍭☕ You have such great sweaters!

[@angelitaloser16]

I loved “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo!” But I actually read it though.

[@maxinehansford]

Also, the audiobook for The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is super good. I would recommend listening to it.

[@TerrigenCrystal]

Your end card should definitely always be Jackson wearing a different hat for various holidays and seasons.

[@kelly9734]

Skyward is amazing!

[@bookboop]

Such a great TBR! I had no clue that the nutcracker ballet was based off of a book. I would love to give it a shot, and it would definitely be the perfect December read! Can't wait to hear what you think about The Light Between Worlds. I read that one last month and really enjoyed it. I did a quick non spoiler video about it and in comparison to Narnia if you'd like to check it out. Loving the christmas vids!!

[@headoverbooks15]

I love your intro and awesome tbr btw good luck for your reading!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@carlace1740]

Your reading taste fascinates me. I wish I could read more classics. I have a question : do you read poems? Specifically, have you read poe's poems? And could you please make a video of classics for beginners? ❤

[@katelyn7230]

Your book shelves look so pretty!😍

[@ellaontheisland]

Omg your moose in the background. I have it too haha

[@vespera.52]

I’m excited to read that Brandon Sanderson book because I’ve been trying to get into his books, and it sounds so interesting 🤗

[@yesliruiz]

Sometimes...when I feel like I can't reread a book, because the new one is out and "spoilers" I wat a review...and it's like a quick summary of the book prior. It helps me.(:

[@shanegole0809]

Ahh Dark breaks the Dawn one of my faves! Though it’s ends absolutely horribly, and the sequel is not good. So what I’d recommend is to read up to chapter 39, and stop there

[@Shaegeeksout]

Dark Breaks the Dawn was good! I hope you enjoy it! Looks like you have some good reads!

[@Shaegeeksout]

Also, SKYWARD IS AMAZING!!!

[@AmberValdivia]

I can soooo relate, I lose so much time playing Sims lol

[@JuliaSapphire]

good luck with your tbr!!

[@IShouldReadThat]

If you like the idea of characters returning from a fantasy world, you should check out Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire! It is all about children who slip into a fantasy world (much like Alice) and are forced to return to real life. It's dark and creepy, but so so good. Tilly and the Bookwanderers is on my TBR! Anna James is a lovely human and I can't wait to read it :D Skyward is amaaaaazinggggggg!!! It's a great place to start with sci-fi and is totally a take on the boarding school trope. So good.

[@tatemlynn5120]

Jackson so cute in his Santa hat

[@myrthebouman9839]

Woah your audio sounds so nice😍 idk if it was always this way or that you got a new microphone but I like it haha

[@umt6429]

The ballet and most subsequent versions fo the nutcracker are based on the dumas adaptation (guy who wrote three musketeers and count of monte cristo) not Hoffman. Not sure how different they are though I think the hoffman original is slightly darker?

[@ella.m1321]

please do a book recommendations video this month!! xx

[@brooklynnnnereads]

Great choices for this month! Good luck with your reading 😊

[@moonstone-dreamer6512]

i need to read dark breaks the dawn and stealing snow!

[@readbymarta2781]

i want to read the nutcracker too!

[@callie3218]

I just finished the audiobook of the seven husbands of evelyn hugo and I loved it!!! You should totally read it its so amazing!!!!

[@fanpirebooksx9926]

For KOA I rewatch book reviews before I get into the next one because SJM writes bloody bricks and I ain't got the time to reread in order to read the next one haha, I'd probably also watch reviews for Empire of Storms for continuity

[@aliyafatma6344]

Am I the only one who can't actually spend time re-reading books in a series when a new one comes out even though I've definitely forgotten stuff? Like I'll read online recaps/summaries but I can never actually pick up a whole book I've already tackled

[@elesalesperance4889]

I loved Royals

[@georgiaotaku]

Have you read “The Afterlife of Holly Chase?” I know you like retellings and it’s supposed to be a retelling of a Christmas Carol.

[@chrstina]

Uprooted! UGH! That book was beautiful~

[@MidnightLibraryx]

Your lighting looks so good!

[@amyleonard4243]

Definitely do Uprooted in audiobook...I think I would have DNF’d otherwise

[@reneerobins5585]

I would love to read a YA version retelling of Thumberlina. There is an idea for you...

[@JessicaBookworm]

BOOKMASSSSS🥰🎄🎄🎄

[@henrikssonlina]

There are no dragons in uprooted, but a wizard named Dragon. Just so you know 😂

[@saraa5377]

What foundation do you use? I love it!
