Top 10 Popular Books I’ve Never Read | Harry Potter, John Green & More! | Epic Reads

[@kshirley58]

Harry Potter will change your life.. for the better. Trust me. Read them. Now.

[@sashat.1820]

Kelly Shirley truuuuuu

[@niamhsheedy8106]

so true I didn't read it until I was 12 and it basically changed my life it's so good and just magical!

[@kaylaaa1147]

Kelly Shirley yes I'm in the middle of the fourth book right now and I have loved all the books so far

[@leyo6056]

I totally agree! c:

[@dominic20]

mmmmmmmmmmmm.... not necessarily?? I didnt read them until I was 18 (yup an adult - so Im more objective then all y'all nostalgia kids) and it, despite what all my friends said, DID NOT change my life. I certainly respect elements of Rowling's writing, but its not really a big deal unless youre a kid.

[@margotwood]

Thank you all for not unsubscribing and coming at me with torches and pitch forks. I AM GOING TO READ HARRY POTTER OVER THANKSGIVING!! I'll be live tweeting my experience and will do a follow up video! I can't wait to finally know what Dementors are...but assuming my sisters called me that I'm assuming they are something quite bad.

[@meganwalkowicz4235]

I just started reading HP last month. I've made it through 2 books. I didn't start really reading until Hunger Games, either. So, this just wasn't a priority to me. NOW, I'm reading it. And it is about time...

[@purplejiav2000]

Margot Wood You're not alone😂

[@eolhcsmith1726]

Read them all then watch the movies!!!!!!

[@katyounotbooks190]

Margot Wood I honestly hadn't read Harry Potter until I was out of highschool, but I love it now :)

[@patax144]

I have just read the first book, and I read it in french, because I just wanted to do something weird about reading Harry Potter is just so popular that I wanted to make the experience unique for me so I`ll just read the entire series in french

[@tatsounaki]

She described the Harry Potter series as "happy and hopeful". Ha.

[@tatsounaki]

I just laughed so hard I fell out of my chair, and after falling on the ground I started crying.

[@Acrylara]

Yeah. Totally didn't hurt my feelings to se everybody DIE

[@hinatatobio1085]

Lol * looks back on the time i had a slump for 6 months bc *SPOILER ALERT* sirius died *

[@ellakernsup]

Yeah that’s not true

[@stacyplays]

Harry Potter was never "done" Margot. I love you, but you need to read it. Come to my cabin for a week, my mom and are are going to read them all and then marathon all the movies this winter.

[@Annie-cr5ms]

stacyplays I want to do that this weekend…read all the HP books, and then have a movie marathon of that… (Bellatrix is awesome!)

[@copycatkiller556]

[@Annie-cr5ms]

BLANK WHITE SCREEN you HAVE to read the books XD

[@margotwood]

See??? This is how little I know about Harry P. I would TOTALLY go to your cabin!!!!!

[@anna--emilia]

I know everyone is saying this but I wish I could read the HP books for the first time without knowing anything. Just do it!!

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

I wish it was possible to wipe your memory of certain books so you can experience them again for the first time.

[@bazilahnasyran5584]

obliviate!

[@BreSinging]

Charlottesreadsthings oh my gosh. I say this all the time. Lol

[@evenstar1020]

Ditto :-)

[@sophiemontecalvo7503]

Okay, honest opinion all Potterheads - Who was shouting at the computer during the whole Harry Potter part? "RAVENCLAW!" "NINE AND THREE QUARTERS!" "TROLLEY!" "NINE! NINE AND THREE QUARTERS!" Gah.

I'm with you on the Harry Potter books, I've just recently started reading them. Barely lol. Currently stuck on the 4th one but really good ☺️

[@brendalady4]

By the way, I've never read The Mortal Instruments either lol #noshame

[@brendalady4]

There's just too many books to read 😱

[@erikamarie1801]

Brenda V. I started reading the first book of the mortal instruments but i haven't gotten to finishing it yet though

[@erikamarie1801]

But i will get to reading it by summer probably

[@askthehaters]

you're not missing anything, they aren't that good

[@sahmnancy]

Don't apologize for reading what you want to read. I never read most of those books. I never want to read John Green and Twilight was terrible (speaking as a writer). However, you should read Harry Potter, although the first three are the best because she stopped being edited when they took off. I tried reading some of the Shadowhunters, but they didn't grab me.

[@rachelhwang03]

[@fourmindspresszx4836]

Rachel Hwang 😂

[@bellalam18]

You need to read City of Bones, but you might like Clockwork Angel more...? Idk. It's Cassie's other series. My best book of 2016 was the Six of Crows duology by far. I recently read Six of Crows and it's like my new obsession now. I'm still working on Crooked Kingdom, but I can already tell it's amazing.

[@elinmor89]

Before I fall is one of my favorite books and my favorite book of the author ☺

[@briannamcbride3438]

Elin Foshaug I finished Before I Fall last night!

[@florentinacalcan7247]

Hopefully faithful I have the book in my first language which is Romanian and i think the book poorly translated and i didn t get through the first chapters...:(

[@mika-ek2ui]

Its okay if you haven't read Fangirl, is a very long book tho. But its a good story but i prefer Eleanor and park. And on The fault in my stars when I was 9-10, It was hard to get hit by the 'feels' on such a young age through. The other John Green books are greeeaaaaat! I recommend to you 'Looking for alaska' but if you're looking for a book that isn't much sad probably 'Paper towns' If you would reply it would make my day :) much love! Xxxx

[@briekatt3275]

no need to feel bad, I haven't read Harry Potter either.

[@maiaisabel]

I tried reading Harry Potter, I got to the third book, but its just not my thing. It just wasn't very immersive for me. Don't hate me it's just my opinion

[@supershinigami1]

How about the A Song of Ice and Fire series? Have you read that one? If not you should really read it.

[@lightquest2]

My confession is I've never actually read the Hunger Games😂😬

[@adventureawaits3860]

It's actually amazing .....read it!!😊

[@thedarkshawol]

omg somehow you are lucky for not knowing anything about Harry Potter because you havent gotten spoiled so it's gonna be a really new experience , I hope you read it asap because it's really amazing. I also recommend you read TMI, and the perks of being a wallflower :)

[@ailsa3705]

I have never read the Lord of the Rings, and have only read two books of John Green, and I've never even heard of the first five you said.My top book this year is between Empire of Storms and A Court of Mist and Fury. I'm currently 100% obsessed with Sarah J Maas's books.

[@shilpisharma-26]

Okay, have you read Percy Jackson series?!

[@ohsuresir8108]

Shilpi Sharma Percy Jackson 💖

[@katelynboggs1769]

Don't feel bad, Margot! We still love you. Lol. I actually haven't read six of the books on your list so I am right there with ya. Btw, I am so happy that you are reading HP!

[@WithWynn]

People will kill me over this, but I think John Green's books and Harry Potter are kind of overrated. I've read Paper Towns by John Green and even though it's quite exciting and a very fun read, I'm not really a big fan of it. And I've read like, ALL of the HP books (except 4 and 5) and my thoughts about them are quite natural. I don't hate them, but I also don't love them that much. I think they're great and the world building is amazing, but the characters are quite bland to me. I do know that I'm a Ravenclaw, and have a Bloodhound as my patronus. I also get sorted into thunderbird as my Ilvermony house. I follow every HP news, but I never feel too much connections to them as most people do. But The Mortal Instruments series are among my favorites, you should read them! heheh, I know my comment sounded soooo biased. But if you have any John Green recommendation, tell me, maybe I'll give them a try

[@Nikki-sb7pf]

Agreed

[@WafflessGaming]

wynne lamounta Wait why would you read books 6 and 7 if you haven't read 4 and 5? Or did I misunderstand lol

[@incoherent23-77]

I thought you were being sarcastic with the harry potter ome💀

[@lainaquintanilla6243]

It is totally okay if you have not read any of these books because I have not reading popular series such as Throne of Glass or ACOTAR. But I plan on reading them very soon.

[@zainabfaessal937]

I totally understand why you wouldn't want to read books that give you bad feelings. I read books to make me feel better, not to make me more upset. Don't feel like you're a bad book nerd, it's just your preference.👍

[@rwaggs2623]

Harry Potter. Is a vote really necessary? I've never read any Brian Sanderson nor have I read Cassandra Clare, nor Sarah J. Maas. I know. But they keep coming out with more and I'm tired of publishers changing the look & size during a series, so I'm waiting until they're done before buying any. I like my library to be neat.

[@alydiest2003]

Robin Wagganer you mean BRANDON Sanderson?

[@rwaggs2623]

Yes - Brandon Sanderson. Brandon. Good catch!

[@annabonaparte7530]

Sarah J Maas and Cassandra Clare are so so good!

[@rwaggs2623]

I have a few of each of their books Anna Bonaparte I just haven't gotten to them yet. I'm a slow reader so I'm forever behind.

[@annabonaparte7530]

I know what you mean... so many books, so little time

[@emelietalledo896]

Finally, another book nerd who hasn't read Harry Potter!

[@mirandarosso1385]

This made me feel better. I been a YA reader since middle school (now I'm in college and married) but a lot these books never peaked my interest. I wouldn't say not reading these makes you a bad book nerd it just means you may not always be into what's "popular". I'm with you girlfriend you're not alone!

[@sophieamalya3210]

Harry Potter is my favourite thing in the entire universe. Not book - thing. I get so passionate and overwhelmed talking about it that sometimes I almost cry when having a huge discussion whilst talking just from love! It is my home and friends and literary perfection and genius. It is beautiful, utterly beautiful, and so much deeper than it seems from the fan reactions. It changed me and has taught me so many lessons. I adore it. Please, please read it. Thank you! :) *cries*

[@Neverland-Runaway]

Lol'd at the yelled "Muggle!" part! That would've been my reaction too. And there really isn't any competition in the poll is there. ;)

[@anudeepnayak7655]

So you haven't read Harry Potter?? 30 points from Epic Reads

[@katieisom4158]

Read Thirteen Reasons Why! It's one of my favorites and is definitely one that got me into reading!

[@kath_reads]

I'm a late-bloomer too. You should definitely pick the HP series, i still have to read the last 3 books though. :D I haven't read TMI and Twilight series.

[@margotwood]

Yay for being both late bloomers!

[@suchitadasgupta1615]

WOW FINALLY SOMEONE LIKE ME!! I HAVEN'T READ TMI SERIES EITHER AND I AM YET TO FINISH THE LAST 3 BOOKS IN THE HP SERIES. *high five late bloomer*

[@rulisastra]

I promise Twilight book is better than movie

[@citykitty1515]

My favorite so far has been A Court of Mist and Fury!!!!

[@rulisastra]

Nothing coukd matched them :(

[@BreSinging]

This was so painful. Lol. I have a lot to say! 1. I haven't even heard of the first book on your list. 2. I read thirteen reasons why in one sitting. I don't even like books about suicide or anything. 3. Fan girl made me so warm and fuzzy inside and I couldn't put it down. 4. I was such a Twihard, it's embarrassing. I still love it, but not as much. I promise the books are a million times better. 5. John Green books are so well written, that you don't want to put them down. Read Looking for Alaska. Trust me. 6. If you're going to read any books in your life, let them be Harry Potter! I'm so excited for you. I read the first line with you and giggled. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@BreSinging]

I just realized I didn't capitalize some words. I am brain dead today!

[@ladyshkspre]

Oh bless you for admitting that about the first book on the list! I was like "What? No, she made that up, that can't be a real title!" I'd never heard of it either but now I am intrigued. May have to check it out. . .

[@rulisastra]

Twihard = Twilight?

[@hwks4984]

Hey Margot. I really love your videos. Keep it up. 😄😄

[@margotwood]

Thank you!

[@emmacoppe6290]

I haven't read : Harry Potter - Mortal Instruments - Divergent and Twilight .... 😥😥 And I kinda don't even want to because I've lost interest 😐😐😐

[@becca8132]

These are all my favourite books. You don't have to read them but you won't regret it (Except twilight. People have mixed opinions on it. I personally like it)

[@imbibesyourlunae]

On a scale of 1 to 10 how hard do you want to cry over the holidays? Harry Potter starts off around 2, but by the end of the series it's around 20. TFiOS and Thirteen Reasons Why are pretty heart wrenching for me, but they were so good! Favorite books of 2016: The Crown Glass Sword

[@sanaaziz5251]

I just started watching your videos yesterday and already loving it. And I have already read very famous series that I came to know that they are that famous. 😁 I thought I am the only crazy one here but glad to know that they are other people having same craze for books as me. Stay blessed

[@EireHooper]

*coughs* Maggie Smith, Professor McGonagall... 4 Words... Read Those Books, Now.

[@janayamckeon5360]

Eeeeeep!!!! So excited to hear your reactions on HP!!!! It was the first book love of my life😍😍😍 I can't think of a better way to grab hold of some optimism during the holidays! ❤️🎉

[@myribstellmesheslying]

I haven't read both The Hunger Games and devergent trilogies. Haha.

[@kritijalan1313]

u need to read THE HUNGER GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your sincerly crazy fan

[@patax144]

John Peter Martinez Tolio I read divergent and a part of the first hunger games book didn't really grabbed me enough to read it all and I am not into dystopian sagas so

[@Acrylara]

Same. Cause I saw the films and already know the story because of that. So I have no desire to read it

[@layanbarakat8385]

same

[@madisoncurtis1986]

Dude there is 4 in the divergent series

[@danil.6667]

I read Harry Potter for the first time when I was 29 and it got me shook. It's gonna be my holiday re-read series from now on!

well, I never read any of the Harry Potter books and I'm British.

[@TheGirlInSneakers]

"Dementors. My sister used to call me that" LOL laughing so hard at that

[@wostormsoccer]

Damn.. Haven't read Harry Potter? That hurts the soul

[@AnneSmart1]

Some of the best books I've read this year are probably: - The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson - The Wrath & The Dawn by Renée Ahdieh - ACOMAF and EoS by Sarah J. Maas - The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski - Ready Player One by Ernest Cline - Rebel Of The Sands by Alwyn Hamilton - I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson - Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge

[@MaeWoodland]

With the last four my jaw literally dropped.

[@nerdtastic2014]

I actually haven't read quite a few of these books or authors. The Mortal Instruments series is great, though it wasn't until the third book that I started to love it. I still need to read TID series and Lady Midnight though. Thirteen Reasons Why is amazing! I read it all in one night a few years ago and it's stuck with me. Normally, though, I avoid reading books that I know will make me cry. Lol

[@alyssatrujillo181]

MARGOT UNDER CITY OF HEAVENLY FIRE'S DUST JACKET IT'S A SPOILER WHY DID YOU SHOW IT

[@alyssatrujillo181]

you probably don't know how it could be a spoiler just read the books

[@margotwood]

HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT I'VE NEVER READ THEM!!!!

[@Pipeblau]

what was the spoiler? I've read the books but I didn't saw anything spoilery in the jacket. it's just the characters looking badass

[@alyssatrujillo181]

i won't tell you, margot hasn't read it just look at the jacket again and think

[@allaboutbooks1188]

Watching you talk about what you do know about HP made me laugh and was the best part. :) I just finished ready the first Percy Jackson book for the first time. I was on the HP train and missed Percy Jackson and figured it was finally time to read them. I also have never read any John Green or The Mortal Instruments series.

[@freyahadgett9617]

I've never read Harry Potter or Percy Jackson😶😂

[@ohsuresir8108]

Freya H READ PERCY JACKSON!

[@katspring1001]

Freya H REAAAADDD PERCY JACKSON... you will love the books.

[@purpleduckybryn]

I’ve never read Percy Jackson before and I’m planning to so I can’t tell you anything about that but TEAD HARRY POTTER I SWEAR IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Also, DO NOT WATCH THE MOVIES FIRST. I think that’s pretty clear for literally everybody, but DO NOT. Especially for Harry Potter.

[@gracemangum]

No shame, Margot! I'm curious how many of these books you've read in the 2 years since this video was posted. I'm writing this as I watch the video and I *gasped* about Gayle Forman, only because Just One Day (and also Just One Year) is my favorite book (possibly of all time!) It is certainly worth the read, your 19-year-old self will thank you.

[@sophiemontecalvo7503]

I became so personally insulted when you said you never read Gayle Forman. If I Stay is amazing!!! Although the sequel was really bad, I felt...

[@rulisastra]

I know how you feel

[@unnamedcryptid2827]

im only on book three of mortal instruments, and other than the first and second books. i also havent read anything else by her in the mortal instruments world

[@prashastiashok372]

I HAVE NOT READ DIVERGENT ... 😥 THERE

[@margotwood]

THAT'S OKAY I STILL LOVE YOU.

[@prashastiashok372]

Hehehe... 😁😁😁

[@josephconnolly4262]

I hadn't read Harry Potter until Christmas 2015 when my English teacher lent me her collection and I finished it on the last day of the following summer (I also used the Merry Christmas note she left in it as a book mark for the series). Loved it. Regarding the vote, 13 Reasons Why. When I heard about it, I needed to read it but I just could not get it, so you having it and not reading it really grinds my gears.

[@jadeinforteau]

WHO ARE YOU

[@amberoliver5444]

YOU WILL NOT REGRET THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS!!! It's the series that really got me into reading all together.

[@BooksAndJams]

Have a very Harry Christmas.

[@HelenRiggiBrumfield]

I used to be surprised about people not reading Harry Potter, but then I realized, I'm older, and I read them as they came out! I think that makes a difference somehow! Waiting in line at midnight for the releases, makes it more exciting! I still think you are cool ;)

[@matthewliaw926]

HARRY POTTER

[@danisuicidaphoto]

I have not read Before I Fall either. It is on my shelf. Maybe we can read it together since I am right across the river? Also I think I have a good explanation on why you haven't read popular books because I am the same way when it comes to overhyped movies i.e. Titanic -- when something is overhyped for me, I shy away from it. It is the outcast side of me.

[@curlyblue6634]

YOU NEED TO READ HARRY POTTER!

[@bangbangbookreviews762]

I too was super late to the Harry Potter party and I started book 1 three years ago. I liked it but took a 6 month break and then began book 2. I processed to read the entire series in three weeks and it has catapulted to my favorite book/series of all time. So obviously, I think you should read Harry Potter.

[@KrystalG367]

Hello ! I'm not finish to read Harry Potter too! So in no particulary order my top 10 favorites books I think are : Outlander serie, The lunar chronicles serie, Twilight serie, Hunger games serie, Americanah, His dark materials serie, Boys don't cry, Maybe someday, All souls serie, and Under the dome....

[@JackieBorelli]

as for faves of 2016, since I do theatre, I've read more plays than books this year, and am currently in love with Tennessee Williams.

[@komala2212]

Omg, I love this video! I'm so happy you're reading Harry Potter :D Hope you enjoy the books! John Green isn't that bad at all and I'd say the same about Rainbow Rowell ;) P.s: Love your jumper.

[@StitchInTime]

You haven't read TMI or Twilight those are my two favorite series ever!!!I'm on book 3 of HP not impressed so far.I've seen the movies and I've heard every spoiler known to man so that kind of ruins the books for me.

[@vickeydisneyqueen]

Of your list I have only read Fangirl and I didn't think it was as good as everyone says it is. I started Harry Potter and gave up halfway through book 4 and I don't feel the need to ever try again. So don't worry!

[@paolopanlaqui9887]

Omg I feel you Margot! I haven't read most of them except for Before I Fall, Gayle Foreman books and John Green books. Don't worry, you're not the only one 😊

[@sandyreadsalot]

You have to read Fangirl! It's one of my favorite contemporary books. I'm definitely surprised you haven't read any Shadowhunter book. I also haven't read Twilight either. The holidays is a great time to read Harry Potter!

[@erinmooney3740]

I recommend looking for Alaska or Paper towns if you are going to pick up John Green

[@rhondac.5696]

I have not read Rainbow Rowell but I own 3 of her books. I read Fault in Our Stars but have not read anymore John Green because that one ripped my heart out and then stomped on it. On a happier note..Harry Potter is an amazing series. I hope you enjoy it.

[@LJ_adventure]

Have you read any books from Rick Riordan? He is my number 1 fav author

[@SarahAtHeart]

Well, I've only read three of the books/series/authors you mentioned (TFIOS, Fangirl, the first Twilight book), so I need to do some more reading too. I've also never read the Vampire Academy, The Selection, or Shatter Me series, or anything by Marie Lu or Laini Taylor. Someday!

[@TheFantasylover96]

Grew up with the Harry Potter movies just started reading the books this year. I highly suggest reading The Fault in Our Stars it is sad but it's a special story and it is actually the first book I've ever cried at which makes it better for me as it gave me a whole different reading experience. If I stay was exceptionally good and I plan to read the sequel. I'm actually reading City of Heavenly Fire now and I read the others in the series back in high school and boy have I missed the humor. So yeah, any of those books are really good for you to start reading :)

[@Bookinista08]

I vote for Before I Fall!! It has a bittersweet ending, so you shouldn't be so apprehensive to read it. ;) And of course I loved the book as a whole, surprisingly so.

[@NvrLseHope]

I had never read or seen Harry Potter until last month (I'm 21 years old) and I am now obsessed! I was in the same boat as you, just needed to take my mind off of stuff and I'm so glad I did! You'll love it. Read Harry Potter!

[@sheilagagliano454]

Margot, I am so excited for you to read Happy Potter. Book nerd confession: I have not read ALL of them. I have read the first 3 though. I am also planning to finish off the series over Thanksgiving break, or at least get started finishing it :) Twilight was my intro to YA (I was 37 years old at the time) so I think you should read it too.

[@cierrakelleykalanikelley8407]

I was recently with you on the whole harry potter, never read and never watched the movies, but I recently finished reading it and I loved the series!!! it got me into fantasy

[@breannamay8800]

I've never read Harry Potter or seen the movies. Actually, I watched Half Blood Prince but it obviously made no sense to me because it's far into the series. I don't plan on ever reading them either. I tried when I was about 11, but I couldn't get into them. I've read much better fantasy series, so it's not necessary.

I loved this video! I just recently subscribed to your channel and have been binge watching your vids. Love your personality! Even though I love all things Harry Potter, the only book I say that you MUST read because it will make your life better is Perks of Being a Wallflower. But, I really do hope you love Harry Potter! I also enjoyed hearing you tell the things you know about it. It made me lol.. Enjoy!!

If you want a fast read (like 1-3 hour read) definitely read the first Harry Potter book and Fangirl. Their writing style is very coherent with each other that it feels like you've just spent your afternoon watching a movie. Never read any of John Green books, and the Throne of glass series ( I hate the series so I can't make myself read it)

I have read the books once long long long time ago referring to Harry Potter of course. was going through the movies again, but order of the Phoenix DVD died. can't watch the others without watching the fifth movie and so one less book for 1 new DVD. Loved your video. I love books. My book Chase run a little different David Weber, Kalayne Price, Timothy' Zahn, Taylor Anderson, Travis S. Taylor, Larry Niven, John Ringo, Tom Kratman, Karl Edward Wagner and Rin Chupeco. That's about half of my fav authors. The newer authors.

Margot, I have not read the Harry Potter Series, The Mortal Instruments Series (anything by Cassie Clare), Looking For Alaska, or Before I Fall.. of the ones you've mentioned. BUT! I have The Mortal Instruments Series and The Infernal Devices Trilogy and actually I have all these books, I don't even have to list them because I have them all. Well, I only have #1-3 and 7 of HP but my younger brother WHO DOESN'T READ AND NEVER READS AND HATES BOOKS AND NEVER PICKS UP BOOKS has all 7 HP books. I started reading The Sorcerer's Stone back in June, on my birthday, but then things kept getting in the way and I kept having other things to do and then other books were more exciting and here I am, it's almost Thanksgiving and I'm still like 1/3 of the way through the first HP book.

I'm so glad I'm not alone!!!

The first HP took me 2 weeks to read through without counting all the times (5) I just stopped dead and didn't pick it up for a year or two. My first attempt to read it was when I was eleven and it didn't go well, I ended up putting the book down after one chapter in favor of rereading a book I had already read and loved which was in the same genre. A little note about me is I almost never reread books, to date I can only name two books I have read more than once. My mum put audiobooks 4 and 5 on while driving so I knew pretty well that those first chapters I could never seem to make it through weren't a fluke and I truely didn't like the books. This time reading through I did it just so that I could tell my family and friends who have been harping on me that I've read the first one. I'm not exactly sure if it was worth my two weeks cause I came out more upset with the books than I started. On the other hand I have seen all the movies (cept for crimes of grindewald) and enjoyed the first 4, they had their own faults but not enough to ruin my enjoyment of them. I do thoroughly enjoy discussing the world, the movies, and the books too as long as no one gawks or pesters me about not having read them and not liking them. BTW I'm a Slytherin so of course I hate Harry Potter :P

Also speaking of "Until I Die" which you said in the final moments of this video! That is a great book series I read this year! Favorite book I've read this year so far though is definitely A Court of Mist and Fury! I've bought Three Dark Crowns, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (I know, I've never read it), the Thousandth Floor, Replica, and The Chemist! So we'll see if one of them changes what my favorite book of 2016 is. Loving Three Dark Crowns right now though, so good so far!

[@carolineelstrom4003]

I've never read Looking for Alaska, Thirteen Reasons Why, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Before I Fall, or Shatter Me. I haven't finished Legend, Delirium, or Throne of Glass.

[@sara_thisgirl]

Perks?! Harry Potter and then Perks. They're both really amazing and you're going to love them! The only two on the list that I personally feel like you MUST read, because I shove them down people's throats all the time! Also I haven't read any of Cassandra Clare's books either so high five! Happy reading!

[@pamelaparks2900]

don't feel bad I haven't read most of these either.....going to read cassandra clare in 2017, and harry potter I read the 1st book and can't wait to continue.

[@JenaMei]
