FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2014

[@tashapolis]

I can't stop staring at your face! YOU'RE SO PRETTY! It's so funny that I didn't read any of these books except for all the Shadowhunter books and The Lunar Chronicles! I finally know the plot to Shatter Me, thank you!

[@samantharampaul339]

I agree that Zoe is very pretty but I find her videos refreshing. I think my Booktube favorites would be Zoe, you, Christine and Kat and Jessethereader. (YOU ALL INSPIRE ME TO READ AND RE-READ AS ANY BOOKS AS I POSSIBLE CAN!)

[@readbyzoe]

Thank you! You need to read these books, they are fantastic! (obviously, duh)

[@samantharampaul339]

I started putting together the perfect bookshelf for 2015 and Got most of the books I saw in your videos. :D

[@ghostblade4228]

I love the Book "Wonder" by RJ Palacio. My favorite!

[@namfonxaykeo4687]

Ghostblade omg I was going to comment this but I LOVED the book it was sad though about what happened to their pet ( I don't want to say it )

[@MandiLynnWrites]

Shatter Me is probably one of my all time favorite books. The writing is amazing and the story only progresses through the series.

[@vphilendra]

In case you guys didn't know: Hazel was inspired by Esther Earl.

[@BenAldersonAuthor]

THE SHATTER ME SERIES IS AMAZING! By the way i love warner!The Percy Jackson series is wonderful! He really is a master story teller! I can not believe City of Heavenly Fire is over! :( great video

[@linkookie4723]

Now I wanna read This star won´t go out!! Loveeeee the Throne of Glass covers! You look so pretty!!

[@tapplepie]

I absolutely loved the Shatter Me trilogy! I read it this year and it was definitely one of my all time favs. I'm loved Warner in the last book and his whole character development throughout the series. I loved getting to know his back story and his relationship with Juliette is one of my favorites. Awesome video! I look forward to more and happy new year!

[@alicemaillot9538]

I read Stolen about 3 years ago and it's definitely one of my favorite books on earth. I liked it so so much! And I'll definitely check out the other books you talked about! Great video!

[@LindseyRey]

Great picks Zoe! Some of these made my list as well. I absolutely loved Cress! My number one book this year was The Storied Life of AJ Fikry. :D

[@andreaverdes8794]

Aaaah I want to read The Storied Life!!! How was it?

[@LindseyRey]

It was amazing! It's the perfect book for booklovers and I really think anyone who likes books will like it. I read it in one sitting! :D

[@elisejaco6609]

Ooh, yes! Some of these books were really good! My favorite books I read or started reading in 2014 were Don't Turn Around by Michelle Gagnon and Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins.

[@chrisn1125]

im currently reading cinder and I loveeee it!!! I can't wait to finish the series

[@erintannehill]

I've just found your channel! There are several books in your list that have me reconsidering my TBR list! First up is to start the Lunar Chronicles series and then onto the Shatter Me series! I also ordered If I Stay and Where She Went last week and plan to start them very soon! Thank you so much for sharing this list!

[@jaycecalma770]

[@kiashanaicker7263]

Love your library! It inspires me to make my mini one sprout from a sapling into an Old Oak!

[@YsmnAdilah]

I really appreciate the way you summarize books. Instead of just saying "omg i love this book! Soo good, definitely check it out," you actually take time to list how the book is great. I immediately went to the bookstore to pick up 13 reasons why after watching you talk about it. I hope you'll continue to make videos for a longggggggggggg time, love you! Xxx

[@allther8ge]

I am a very big reader so I will definitely read some of these books. You are the only reader KZbin type KZbin thing haha that I like. Please keep making videos!!

[@kiashanaicker7263]

Got to love Stolen, i read it five times yet the ending made me cry too many times to read it again for the other four times i read the book, i just love Ty! I hate what happens to him in the end!:(

[@alboslaniranya]

I loved shatter me. I was so obsessed. I'm reading it the secoubd time.

[@jellydesigner]

has anyone ever told you that you look like Belle form Beauty and the Beast?

[@Zahraa_Alshimary]

jellydesigner true

[@adelaheath4221]

I didn't even realize that until now-

[@AshSmash105]

OEMGEEEEEEE! The moment I saw your face, I was totally like 'YOU ARE TESSA!' because you are gorgeous and with the pale skin and curly hair it is exactly how I imagined Tessa Gray. Hope you find your Will.

[@readbyzoe]

THIS IS THE BEST COMMENT I'VE EVER READ. I wish I was Tessa, I really really do

[@alivialindorfer954]

omg I see it now... you look like Tessa in my head at least

[@kkdramax]

Alivia Lindorfer Yeah I love Will *_*

[@johnnagifford6371]

The Summer I Turned Pretty series is really really good. It is my favorite.

[@XxBeautyNerdsxX]

I am obsessed with your videos! The shatter me series reminds me of What's Left of Me. I highly recommend it!

[@nessfaye090]

I just accidentally found your channel by accident and I am already loving it. I am doing a 2015 book challenge I found on Pinterest and I am now more excited to do so because you mentioned a lot of them in this video and now I have a better review on them then what their foreword offers.

[@queendsheena1]

I love your energy! You picked some amazing books. I have all the books in the Lunar Chr. series except for Winter which is not out yet but I pre-ordered a while back.

[@everydaymagicftm]

Wonderful picks!!! We have a few the same! Cress

[@readbyzoe]

READ THEM! They are honestly some of the best books ever

[@BeckyMD26]

I love your videos so much! You are literally the only booktuber that I don't get bored of! I anticipate you uploading xxx

[@missmackenziex]

Percy Jackson is one of my favorite series of of all time! I just started Cinder a few weeks ago, and it is amazing, obviously. I will most definitely be looking into Clockwork Angel, it just sounds fantastic. I am so glad I found you!!

[@camillejulienne]

Your videos just showed up on my homepage and can I just say, thank the gods (lol thought I put that reference since you already read the percy jackson series) I clicked your video because I have fallen in love with them. I really appreciate the way you talk about books like you have a hard time talking about them because there are no words to explain how amazing the plot of the book is. Gaaah very happy to have found you! Cheers x

[@BooksAndBigHair]

I just ordered Cinder and Scarlet! Cinderella is my favorite fairy tale so I can't wait to read this adaptation. I also ordered Unravel me (because Shatter Me was sold out haha) I can't wait to start all of these good books! Throne of Glass is next on my list to buy.

[@itsjuststeph13]

Great video! The Infernal Devices and The Lunar Chronicles are my favorite series of 2014. I also liked the Selection Series and The Ruby Red Series.

[@isabellev.8642]

Omg i also loved the selection series and the ruby red aswell ;) I also read the throne of glass series and it was fantastic! Girl read it if you haven't ;D xoxo

[@emmasorbi1063]

omg the books of casandra clare are so amazing! i love the mortal instruments so much! but when i read the infernal devices it was even better! team will❤❤❤❤

[@parisbaby7856]

Just ordered Stolen and Amy & Roger's Epic detour thanks to you. You do such a great job of explaining things and you make the books sound wonderful :)

[@hannahclairereads7835]

I really need to read the Lunar Chronicles! I've started and put down Cinder so many times.

[@Jemmyyyy]

I'm so happy I found your channel! Been in a reading slump for a while now but you've just inspired me to pick up some new reads :)

[@dmoon4269]

Everytime I watch one of your videos I just can't stop. You are so beautiful and I love your voice. And you present everything so good without giving spoilers. I hope you will continue make amazing videos.

[@carringtonbrignac3076]

City of Heavenly Fire and Cress tied for my number one book of the year! They were both just so wonderful!! Great video as always Zoe! I've been watching you and have been subscribed to you since you had like 5 videos!!! :):):)

[@nykiaburdine6249]

I've only read City of Bones, back when I was 14, but I've always wanted to finish the series. You've inspired me to finally finish them!

[@BooksTeaLozzi]

Ahh The Infernal Devices was probably my favorite of the year too! Your videos are so good by the way!

[@louke1401]

Thanks a lot!! I am currently in some kind of a 'book dip' and I don't really feel like reading anymore. Now that I've seen your video I think I have for about five books that I want to start right now! Nice videos btw; )

[@euni7613]

yay PERCY!:)

[@ryleighstine]

Oh my gods we are besties now

[@namfonxaykeo4687]

Shao Ci does that make us best friends now ??!!!!??

[@Nobody-vh1wt]

I don't know you. But you have great tastes.

[@emily.terlizzi7747]

Ha! I was looking at your shelf and you have My Life Next Door next to Along For The Ride and I have them like that in the exact same order

[@LittleWordWeaver]

Now I really want to read the Infernal Devices Trilogy. I keep picking them up and then putting them down in the bookstores for some reason. Same with the Percy Jackson series. I might have to give myself some extra time to read them all this year!

[@heathergamble5050]

The infernal devices and the mortal instruments are amazing books. Cassandra Clare's books are the reason I started to enjoy reading.

[@Elizareads93]

The movie for Gone Girl was so good!!

[@padfootandprongs07]

I've already read If I Stay but for some reason hearing you talk about it gave me chills! (also the movie is reallllyyyyy good)

[@readbyzoe]

I need to watch the movie asap! And thanks haha :D

[@michelleolop]

readbyzoe Please watch it ALONE! It changes everything :)

[@91Neli]

omg I did not find the movie good :(((

[@angelg4495]

[@allyparrish8129]

I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson was my favorite book of the entire year! It is one of my favorite books of all time, as well! It is a contemporary romance told from two perspectives (a brother and sister). It has aspects of romance, and mystery that both drew me in. It deals with LGBT issues and has two of the most beautiful romances I have ever read! I have never cried so hard as I did at the end of this book.. Right after finishing it I wanted to read it all over again- a sure sign of a fantastic book. I highly recommend this book to you, Zoe!

[@readbyzoe]

I've heard so many good things about it, thanks for the recommendation! It is definitely high up on my wishlist :D

[@allyparrish8129]

Thank you for responding! Sorry for a change in subject, but I know you are studying abroad in England later this year and that you live in Florida. I live in Florida as well and was wondering what college you will be studying abroad with? Studying abroad in England has been a dream of mine for years and I hope to do it when I go off to college in a few years (:

[@suecollins5596]

I still have to read a lot of books before I have to read all the books u mentioned, lol.... keep up the good work.....

[@HeathersBookReview]

Just found your channel :) the Shatter Me trilogy is one of my favorite trilogies, but unfortunately I couldn't name it my favorite because I was a bit let down with ignite me; but other than that it is still a great trilogy. Also, your makeup is honestly perfect!! Looking forward to more videos-Heather

[@annjanelpenaflor5356]

Wow haha, I just got the whole series of Percy Jackson as birthday gift. I'm excited to finish the whole series this time, since I read the first 2 books 3 yrs. ago haha

[@ivymuse]

I read a lot of these books myself and totally agree on the awesome scale :D congrats on reading so much this year, I had one of my best reading years in 2014 as well so I guess there was just something about it :P

[@delaneyhenton2458]

Amazing video! My favorite book series of 2014 was the Perfect Chemistry trilogy!! It was so amazingggg and I highly recommend itttt!!!

[@Julykid98]

Ahhh I really need to read that Sarah J Maas series!!!

[@N1CKxP]

The Infernal Devices were one of the best series I've ever read, its phenomenal. I feel so passionate about these characters!

[@bookchicks40]

Completely agree with you on City of Heavenly Fire- it was completely amazing and super long (long books are the best.) And Cress was also one of my favorites. That whole series is so original and well-written :)

[@sammiephilp2637]

I've read a couple of the books you mentioned. I am so gonna read Stolen! It's so interesting!! I am currently reading the second book to the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy and it's AMAZING!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I'm a devout book lover too we should totally talk! 😍

[@mookrena582]

Wow, Ok, so I've never read any of those but I am interested in so many..! Well, guess more money spending time! You make them sound soooooo amazing.... Great job!

[@heddahelles4741]

This was the best reading year for me ever. I read between 40 and 50 books. My favorites were Tfios, the first Divergent book, the Death Cure, Eleanor & Park, Fangirl, The 5th Wave, the whole Delirium series, and right before Christmas break started I started rereading my all-time favorite series, Harry Potter, so I read the two first before 2015 started, so I have to say them as well.

[@emmaleshan2750]

I love stolen! I read it a few years ago and loved it, and I'm so glad people still like it!

[@14suryashi]

Your book choices are the best! Love you zoe!

[@shoppinglover605]

I finished Clockwork Princess like 3 days ago.... I don't think I have ever cried so much in a book. It took my like 2 hours to read 3 chapter because I was crying so hard. That trilogy is the most beautiful and heartbreaking thing I have ever read. I put odd reading Clockwork Princess since February because I knew it would destroy me. And that it did. I'm going to wait to read the epilogue on Saturday so I can bawl my eyes out again in piece hahaha. I literally can't let myself think about it because i feel like crying again. When you held them up I had to look away hahaha.

[@ashlyngummow1386]

Read the poison princess series! One of my favorites

[@kiashanaicker7263]

Infernal Devices are looking very tempting on my reading list!

[@TheOwleryBooks]

I am still reading Percy Jackson and it is sooo great!!! So many great books in this video!!

[@Nataliecj]

Haha what a coincidence, I read 84 books in 2014 too! My favourite book this year was Cress by Marissa Meyer, and I also really enjoyed Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins and My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece by Annabel Pitcher, they're all so good!

[@andrealozano3926]

Read The selction!! soo good

[@TPMSTGKDMGOA]

I'm reading Clockwork Angel right now and loving it!! I reread the Animorphs series, which was a favorite from my childhood, so that would definitely make it to my top books of 2014 if a series can count. I read the Shatter Me series as well and had mostly the same thoughts. And the Shadow and Bone series. And and and... I could probably go on or hours! I get recommended Gone Girl by everybody, including random strangers, so it is definitely high on my TBR list.

[@emmaloohoo123]

The next full on series of the Shadowhunter Chronicles actually comes out in 2016 ,but Cassandra Clare is coming out with a mini series similar to the Bane Chronicles but about Simon.

[@tanyaatkinson8996]

Loved seeing your 2014 favorites! I really liked If I Stay, too, but I loved Where She Went even more. Getting Adam's POV was just wonderful. I can't believe I haven't read City of Heavenly Fire yet. I think I just don't want it to be over. :) Clockwork Princess was sooo wonderful. That epilogue! I sobbed through the entire epilogue. So good! My top two faves for 2014 were both by Colleen Hoover - Maybe Someday and Ugly Love. Both were so wonderful, so emotional and so perfect.

[@nokiddingbrainless]

I'M SO DARN EXCITED TO READ ALLLL OF THESE BOOKS. Girl, you know how to sell me on a book, for real. My favourite book of the year was The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson! I think you would like that one as well! Amazing epic fantasy read!

[@Littlebird767]

Just One Day by Gayle Forman and The Darkest Minds trilogy by Alexandra Bracken were some of my favorites!

[@welldonebooks]

Gone Girl! Yes! Is the cover of Stolen soft? Cuz it looks soft.

[@readbyzoe]

It's pretty soft! I love textured books

[@merclynch1666]

The gone girl movie was made in my home town

[@rsakina110]

Since you loved the Lunar Chronicles I would suggest reading Towering by Alex Finn. He's written other books featuring fairy tale characters like Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and Little Red Riding Hood. Some of his books include aspects of more than one fairy tale character into one story. They're quick reads, and the stories are really unique!!!

[@PoliciesOfArt]

I'll have to check some of these books out. They sound interesting!

[@victoriachauvin2498]

I love how Percy Jackson was on your list of series to not finish and then you loved them, that makes me want to read it so much more now because I was debating on reading it or not. Also if I stay was amazing and I think where she went was even better! The movie does not even compare but I did love watching the book come to life. Idk know if your open to recommendations but I just finished Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell and it was fantastic, so if you haven't read it yet I totally recommend it.(:

[@xAzalope13]

Read the Tiger's Curse series (if you haven't already!) :D

[@jimmysovann7117]

Im new to your channel but im just so obsessed with your accent, face, choice and everything. YOu deserved a subscribe

[@BlueMoonSubs]

Hi Zoe! I read Amy and Roger epic detour because of you and It was awesome :) thank you I loved

[@alicedesbonnet6191]

I saw that the book GONE by Michael Grant is on your bookshelf, I really love that book, do you? I read the whole series and if you didn't you totally should because they just get better!! Those books you talked about look amazing, I will definitely be downloading some onto my kindle for the summer!! ty

[@ravenprice2856]

Can you do some more series reviews please? Just finished the Shatter Me series and loved your video:)

[@Alliappalachian]

Happy New Year! And I love this video!!

[@misstoscane]

I lovveddd this video !!! I love each of your video though! Now i have more ideas for books to read in 2015 :)

[@allysachoi484]

Hey Zoe! Could you do an updated bookshelf tour please?

[@claudiaperovic1352]

I love all of these books and you're so pretty! You kind of remind me of Belle from Beauty And The Beast (who is my favourite Disney princess) most of the kids my age (11 years old) aren't into reading big thick books and I love listening to people talk about them so thank you for a great pass time!

[@juliapowers4893]

I recommend reading the Trylle series by Amanda Hocking. It's my favorite, I only finished it and few day a go and there is not a minute that I'm not missing the main character, Wendy. It has the right amount of romance, adventure, expense, and thrill. I hope you like.

[@baileymayer7639]

I'm a little late but The Infernal Devices was my favorite series/trilogy of 2014 and The Book Thief by Markus Zusak was my favorite :) I also loved the Darkest minds series as well

[@Prettyawesome448]

Thanks you so much for actually summarizing the book!!!

[@flymetothemoon3157]

I think that City of Heavenly Fire was my fave this year

[@emilyprentiss7888]

yes the lunar books in the backround!!!

[@cassidydowden5890]

Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus are the best books ever! Almost all of my series are on your bookshelf, amazing!

[@rashmi5039]

Please please do a updated bookshelf tour.

[@kiashanaicker7263]

Watched a couple other videos by book reviewers but you are so the best Zoe!

[@Jeanjellybean13]

You have to see the movie for If i stay. i actually enjoyed it more than the book. The acting is great and it made me cry so much.

[@paigeleighton4470]

I have read if I stay, the infernal devices, the mortal instruments, the lunar chronicles and Percy Jackson. You should really read the heroes of Olympus series which just comes right after the Percy Jackson series but with lots of new demigods!

[@ahinaut96]

Two thumbs up on the clockwork series. So good 😍 If you love that series, I recommend Ruby Red by Kirsten Ghier (I think that's her name). Its a German book translated to English. Its all about a girl in a time traveling family accidentally sent to the Victorian era. Its good. Really good

[@fransiskusenricoleonard1316]

I'm about to read Ally Condie's Matched trilogy. It might be a favorite for you if you like dystopian and romance books. The sample of the book is good, not too bad. I bet you have read the Divergent trilogy, totally popular, and it's my favorite since the movie was out.

[@arsudo]

How to Love by Katie Cotugno and The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart are both phenomenal YA contemporaries and, high on my list of my favorite books of 2014. I think you would enjoy them. The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein is a wonderful read if you're looking for something more along the lines of adult fiction and is also a tremendous read. Also, everything you said about Gone Girl. I couldn't get through that book fast enough!

[@noorallawati5390]

Aaah i love the infernal devices ❤ the lunar chronicles soooooo muuuch

[@tatitatjana7020]

One of my favorite books are "spook" ther is also a film it called seventh sohm ;)

[@musarat365]

More Than This by Patrick Ness is my all time favourite book that I read in 2014. It was so interesting and mysterious and it was just so good. You have to read it!
