[@jackielopez9739]

Keela Joan 😘 hope you enjoy the ones you check out!

[@kaiju_k5042]

I almost threw my book in the air ( Three Dark Crowns) to watch! Also I was just on your Goodreads like 10 minutes ago looking at the 62 books you read haha, well done.

[@PeruseProject]

Thank you!!

[@brookepape]

Fate of the Tearling is also one of my favorite books of the year! and I read the series on your recommendation so thank you! Happy New Year!

[@jennigedney]

I received both The Queen of the Tearling and The Thief for Christmas, and you have really made me excited to read them!!

[@Kisszoe100]

My top three favorite books of 2017: 3: Dark Matter by Blake Crouch 2: The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker 1: Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor

[@HaleyNixt]

I'm so happy to see Nevermoor on your list; it was one of my absolute favorites!

[@sassiqueen1200]

Queen's thief is absolutely amazing!! So thankful to you for recommending

[@birdyoconnor]

I definitely agree with you about A Gathering of Shadows. The competition element was SO MUCH fun!

[@BasicallyBrittx]

I haven't read much fantasy lately (except Lord of the Rings), but damn, after watching this video I really want to pick up some more fantasy again! Actually never heard of the Girl of Fire and Thorns before, but it sounds so cool! I hope you'll read more amazing (fantasy) books in 2018!

[@emmasmith3340]

I read so many good books this year I can’t pick just one favorite! If I had to pick two, probably The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black and Thick as Thieves by Megan Whalen Turner! Also btw I’ve loved the thief series for years and I’m so glad that you’re reading and talking about it! More people need to read that series it’s so under appreciated!

[@filipab0oks]

I can't wait to read ToD! Thank you so much, you just made me buy The Girl of Fire and Thorns. Ahhh, can't wait to finish the seven realms series! I really want to read Strange the Dreamer. I also read ADSOM trilogy this year and loved it!

[@lynneb2186]

I loved that series by V E Schwab too. You are such a great reviewer. I just bought Strange the Dreamer on your rec

[@crushgoil]

This list is pretty much just my fav 2017 reads plus the books I'm looking forward to getting to next year.

[@mireillek2841]

A bunch of the books on my 2018 TBR are books I’ve heard about from this channel and now this video! 😊

[@charityyoder9028]

Favorites included: The Last Magician, Unwind, If We Were Villains, Dramatically Ever After, A Conjuring of Light, For Darkness Shows the Stars, And the first three books to the Lincoln Rhyme books. A bit of an eclectic list, but it was a good year with lots of variety (for me). and I'm happy with that.

[@oneluv1979]

Based on your review of the book "The Thief" on 12/30/17 when I first watched it, I knew I had to read it too.....I found and read a simple chapter and immediately ordered my copy......it is really good.....I wish I had ordered all the books in the series! I will very soon......side note - I have been watching your channel for ages and I enjoy all your videos......you have such a wonderfully fun personality!

[@xreadingsolacex]

i loved the mix of different genres/types of books in this video!!

[@betocaceres1704]

I thought Our Dark Duet would be on the list. I read the Monsters of Verity series this year and is one of my fav of all time... and I'm finishing the last book of the Shades of Magic Trilogy and also one of my fav!! Schwab is one of my fav authors and also one of my auto-buy authors.

[@PeruseProject]

I love that series!! Our Dark Duet was one of the ones that just made it off the list 😢

[@addictivegamer102]

I honestly don't know what my favorite book I read this year but here are some of my faves: - Our Dark Duet by Victoria Schwab - Without Merit by Colleen Hoover - The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan (honestly probably my favorite!) - Dreams of Gods & Monsters by Laini Taylor - The Wrath & The Dawn by Renee Ahdieh - Misery by Stephen King - Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty - The Female of the Species by Mindy McGinnis - Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo - Too Late by Colleen Hoover - Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare (second favorite!)

[@Nobody-vh1wt]

addictivegamer102 You have good taste :) I absolutely love Uncle Rick Riordan's books.

[@cynthia5015]

aw the percy jackson series a classic!

[@HBlehed]

I love your channel! My friends and I always get excited when you upload a new video ❤️❤️ Lots of love all the way from Saudi ❤️

[@PeruseProject]

Thank you guys for watching!

[@reyoufmadkhali6609]

Alriiiiiight saudi represent💗💗💗💗

[@SixthSenseSynesthete]

Take a shot every time Regan says there’s political intrigue 😆

[@PeruseProject]

It’s my fav thing lol

[@kawarry]

you always give some goo books recommendations i literally want to read them all ! my favourite books of the year are: Wuthering heights, Twilight sagas and Hunger games; i've read them for the first time and just wow (little bit late tho)

[@lantreauxlivres]

"don't tell the other books", you killed me there xD All the books are in my wish-list, and some of them thanks to you! Great video, as usual!! xx

[@kiara574]

My favourite book this year was definitely "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. Some of my other favourites were "The Hate U Give" by Angie Thomas, "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini and "All the Light we Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr. These were all amazing books and my best reads, but there was just something about the Book Thief that made it my top read of 2017!

[@abbey9030]

your channel is my favorite!!! I love all your recommendations and your 24 hour reading vlogs!!! happy new year!

[@PeruseProject]

Yay more of those to come in the New Year as well!

[@non-pe8xn]

why do I never get bored of you talking about a darker shade of magic ???? I really need to read it but I'm WAITING FOR THE COVER BECAUSE I CANT FORCE MYSELF TO CHANGE COVERS THROUGHOUT THE SERIES

[@clareseymour6227]

Amazing list!! I also really enjoyed Tower of Dawn!! I definitely want to read all the others you mentioned. I’m currently on the final book of Laini Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy which I am loving and for sure will read Strange the Dreamer 💙💙

[@natcommon]

I may have said this before, but you really need to read a series called Lockwood and Co. by Jonathan Stroud. It's a middle grade series that doesn't act like a middle grade series. It's about three teens (14-16 years old) who hunt ghosts because they plague the UK. I love it! And you could binge read it if you wanted to because the series is done. I finished the last book this year (favorite book of the year) and boy, it was amazing! Please read it this year. It needs more love on BookTube!

[@suyashaagarwal5110]

I looooove that series!!

[@stampincass]

I added it to mine!

[@artwriter76]

I read 105 books this year (although a lot of those were manga) but I think my favorite was Eliza and her Monsters by Francesca Zappia. It really struck me deep and I loved it. Great vid! I really need to read more fantasy!

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

I expect loads of fantasy in this video. XD

[@PeruseProject]

lol spoiler alert... ur right.

[@TeaBooksAndTazmyn]

I have been waiting for this video all month! WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP!!

[@boob4555]

the fact our dark duet is front and center makes my V.E. Schwab fanboy heart very happy

[@sandyreadsalot]

The Beauty of Darkness is a favorite of mine too (although I read it in 2016)! I'm currently reading A Gathering of Shadows and I can't wait to get to the third book!

[@ilsenleon2378]

I have read Strange the Dreamer because of you and while it was really good, it was so slow in the beginning that it didn’t become my favorite. But I’m excited for The Muse of Nightmares! My favorites are Monsters of Verity duology, The Grisha trilogy, Simon vs. The Homo-Sapiens Agenda, The Upside of Unrequited, We Were Liars, All the Bright Places, Before I Fall, The Star-Touched Queen duology, The Zodiac series, and of course Harry Potter. My first time reading Harry Potter this year

[@princessroyalblue]

yyyaassss!!! Kiss Of Deception trilogy aka The Remnant Chronicles is my all time fave trilogy. Looooove love!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@freeinfiction]

I haven’t read a lot of these books wow I really want to read them in 2018!! I hope you had an amazing 2017 and have an even better 2018, Reagan💗 love watching your favorites videos!

[@juliagomes6458]

Wow, I just got a lot more books on my tbr, hahahah. My favorite books that I read this year has to be The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss and Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.

[@laurenbastian1906]

[@katierosefun7722]

Aaah, so excited for this! (Also, I started reading This Savage Song last night, and I’m 100 pages in-hoping I can finish this before the new year comes, because IT’S SO GOOD.)

[@Lilpandaa96]

katierosefun ohgod, that duology is my everything 😭😭😭

[@BernasBookishAdventures]

A great video!! I like how you explain the main plot without giving spoilers. I am new to fantasy, I will try your recommendations. My favorite books this year was Harry Potter series which I read this year for the first time and the Handmaid's Tale.

[@operativealyssa]

I am currently reading Nevermoor. I am loving it so far!

[@selina1107]

Yay I knew tower of dawn would be included :) I was waiting for this

[@jessicaberlin2510]

I read of tower of dawn last year and at first I didn't want to read it because it was about chaol and I wasn't a big fan of him but after finishing the book I fell in love with him because he redeemed himself and knew I wrong he did in his past so now I'm basically fangirling over him lol. Strange the dreamer is on my tbr list so hopefully I get to read it this year as it looks really good and has had so many great reviews.

[@Shagun-bq9bb]

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD ANY BOOKTUBER TALK ABOUT RAE CARSON!!! I LOVED THAT TRILOGY SO MUCH OML!!

[@Bookishbroccoli1]

[@MariaMightReadThat]

The Girl of Fire and Thorns makes my favorite 2017 books too! I can't stop raving about it.

[@Xk8rsx]

I agree with everything you said about Strange The Dreamer, I read it myself this year and wow. It blew my ever loving mind. And Lazlo is the most precious of all the precious, we must protect him...I love him he is my son.

[@larissabullen264]

I really enjoy your videos, and find that we have very similar opinions. So when you recommend a book I instantly add it to my TBR xx

[@lenniejoaquin7091]

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE REGAN! I just finished reading The Daughter of Smoke and Bone AND I HAVE TO SAY ITS MY NEW FAVORITE BOOK! LIKE WHY DID I NOT READ IT SOONER?! LAINI TAYLOR WHERE HAVE U BEENNN!! 😩😵😳

[@mrsbaratheon]

I'm so happy for you that you enjoyed The Fate of the Tearling! The ending really let me down, it really isn't for everyone. And while I normally appreciate a very unique and brave ending, this one was sadly not for me. 🙁

[@UmbraKrameri]

Actually, I picked up all 2 of my favorite books last year on you recommendations: The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August and Six of Crows. :D

[@GaiaSteinbuch]

I read the Shades of Magic (by V. E. Schwab) series this year too, and I loved it!! Such an amazing series.

[@patriciaalvesmarques5947]

Yes, thank you to the book gods! xD I've been looking forward to this video for so long!

[@awkwardbooknerd8904]

I read a darker shade of magic series this year as well and loved so many things about it:) and so many more good fantasy books for me to get into now!!!!! XD

[@BridgetReadsandReads]

I read most of the same books and feel the same way you do about them. ☺️ Here’s to a bountiful bookish 2018! 📚📚📚

[@drewsambitiousreading2752]

Loved ur list! I’m currently reading a darker shade of magic for the first time this month. Also my nanna just bought the sequel for xmas!😀

[@kellyffiestas]

Have you read the “This Savage Song” duology by V. E. Shwab? You must. You’re the first person I see mention Tower of Dawn. Thanks for that. I haven’t read it yet, but it’s good to know it’s good.

[@kzemek]

We had lots of good books this year too. I did a video on the books both my husband and I loved. I loved the Kiss of Deception series too. Just curious if you read the Unwind series that I finished this year.

[@nelliandbooks]

My favorite book this year is Turtles all the way down

[@Andrea-oj6fz]

Regan, you are my favorite youtuber. Thank you for all of your great recommendations this year and I wish you a happy new one. Greetings from Germany :)

[@getamber8026]

I finally got ADSOM after hearing you rave about the series a couple times. I bought the collector's edition and I'm enjoying it (...but I can't stand Lila lol). I wasn't planning on continuing once I reach the end, but the last minute of this video has me rethinking that choice. Ohh what to do? I also got the first two books in THE QUEEN'S THIEF series because of your recommendation and I'm looking forward to it.

[@livnoe6431]

I totally feel the same way about Tower of Dawn! The Chaol fangirl buried inside me is back!

[@booksandbroomsticks1842]

Nice list! Love your reading vlogs also, looking forward to more =D

[@stephpiano2908]

Damn that description of how well Laini Taylor writes about "generational hatred" was so on point, her skill in exploring that topic in a fantastical world is unparalleled honestly

[@colleenoxford2249]

I read Revenge and the Wild by Michelle Modesto and loved it!

[@Reemuphill]

Definitely subscribed I feel I love way to hard with your energy

[@musicdragonmountain2911]

I loved Girl of Fire and Thorns!

[@jennifercarter7746]

I just finished Tower of Dawn. I also just finished the beauty of darkness. Both were great reads.

[@LindsNW05]

I'm reading Nevermoor right now, it is so very good! It's also my last book of the year to read.

[@user-kp5ew7pz3n]

I'm also getting over being sick. Praying for you and hope you feel better. And great video!

[@proudpancake3441]

I loved Strange The Dreamer so much.

[@ashtonlea2860]

I didn't read nearly as much as I would have liked in 2017 so I'm just going to write down my top 5: 5. The Great Gatsby 4. Tower of Dawn 3. A Darker Shade of Magic 2. Gemina 1. Our Dark Duet

[@stephanieparlier2565]

Good job on your reading list ❤️

[@shaneyneydavenport5949]

Do you think you could do a video of books that will get you into more complex fantasy. I’ve noticed that some fantasy books are extremely hard to follow with all the characters and places. So I thought it would be nice to know how I can work myself up to those more intense fantasy’s series

[@Hope-vi9ho]

new subscriber because i also loveeee fantasy! so many other youtubers just do contemporary and YA

[@cidayinnahuat7204]

I really appreciate you Regan. You are my guid to books, without you I really wouldn’t know what to read. Thank You and Happy New Year

[@goticrose]

I am so curious about the VE Schwab books but I cant find them anywhere where I live.

[@jessicaedwards2353]

Is the seven realm series better than the Heir series, because I got so frustrated with it after starting the second book....

[@evareads2817]

I really want to read A Darker Shade of Magic in 2018!! And my favorite book in 2018 was Lord of Shadows^^

[@alexishumphrey7568]

[@aaminahf3298]

I dont think I read enough for a top ten but here are my favourites - 1) The Infernal devices series by Cassandra Clare 2) Heartless by Marissa meyer 3) Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte 4) The Night Cirus by Erin Morgenstern Most disappointing one of 2017 unfortunately was The Book Thief.

[@ShineBrightStars]
