Re: review requests, I only consider review requests for young adult books
Some of the books shown/mentioned may have been sent to me for review but this in no way influences my ability to provide my true and honest opinion

[@ryancharran31]

I'm glad you were honest about your review of zenith

[@MsLPSFOREVER]

Ryan Charran agreed!

[@APKHD02]

Finally an honest review of zenith from a large booktuber- as far as I know anyway

[@eileen9898]

Kateabookdate and Insanereader both posted honest reviews :) The first thought the same as Hailey and the second really hated it (the review is very funny as well)

[@birdyoconnor]

You are the only BookTuber's book reviews that I trust! Thank you SO much for your honesty. Seriously. I had a feeling this book would go that way so I was not at all interested in reading in it.

[@yasminebutler9340]

Literally was just thinking “hey I wonder if Hailey put up a reading vlog today “ ps. I literally live for your reading vlogs 😍😍

[@rodyinjapan]

they are lit for sure 🔥

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

so exciting you finished your outline!!

[@chelseag3365]

That bookstagram montage was very well edited :)

[@SarahVBel]

I'm so proud of you, you really put your heart into this. I wish you all the best, another big step in your journey where we have the luck to tag along!

[@afafnj]

Hailey I had the same headache moving my eyes and i went to the eye doctor and now i have a reading glasses !please see what you can do about it i know it hurts

[@Xk8rsx]

Seeing this is giving me more motivation to write. I have 41,000 words written and I have been in a writing slump and I need to get going with getting it done. Good job getting your outline done!

[@HaileyinBookland]

Xk8rsx I’m so glad! Best of luck 💜

[@jennifer.edward]

Weather headaches! When it's snowing or raining or something my head hurts so much! Being Canadian is tough lol

[@beautyequalshate]

Jennifer Edward I’ve been going through this for days since it has been rainy here. 😫

[@laitstrawberry]

Amen to that! I’ve freezing rain is a trend currently in my area ಠ_ಠ

[@MandiLynnWrites]

Love how honest, but at the same time very kind, you are about your reviews. Not everyone is going to love a book.

[@wickedfandom]

I was hit by a car several years ago and have since then had a lot of headaches. What helps me is taking medication before going and taking a long warm shower. After, if I’m still not feeling okay, drinking coffee and cuddling under the blankets in the dark helps. If your head still hurts, that might help. 💕 Hope you feel better, Hailey!

[@ellaontheisland]

After your book comes out (can't wait!! It'll be the first booktuber book that I've read) can you do a video about books that helped with your writing process

[@MyBarbaricYAWP22]

Your reading Vlogs inspire me to read 💙

[@elsakleinschmit7073]

I LOVE your Bullet journal! Such a great idea!!

[@neonjenn18]

Loving your historical fiction picks lately, they all sound so good!

[@LucieReads]

I'm sure you'll get other comments like this, but just know that it's appreciated how honest you were about Zenith :)

[@ppittsburghgirll]

I’m so envious of all the snow your getting! I live in Northern California and we never get snow 😔 it’s been in the high seventies and low eighties, it’s so annoying!

[@crystaldanielle5203]

You are one of my favorite booktubers, and your honesty is one of the many reasons why. Plus, I write with the hope of publishing too. So watching your struggles and milestones is inspiring! PS. One thing i do is a raw draft while outlining, character creating, and setting building. Some days I just need to structure scenes.

[@elizewyn]

I adore your reading vlogs and always so happy when i see a new one ! :)

[@StephanieMarieLife]

I cannot get enough of your reading vlogs!! You are by far my favorite booktuber ever. You are so genuine, trustworthy, and down to earth. ❤

[@Kira-nu5xm]

Your reviews and blogs make me happy. You are passionate. I like to write too. You deserve all your success. 😊

[@user-we8dn5ub9z]

Your headache could be from looking at a computer screen too long. My mum gets them now from years of working on a computer at work

[@leyla1220]

AYF D lucky her because she has a reason for it . Me however, I get them constantly and the doctor says there’s no reason for it . I had glasses for a year now and it didn’t improve . It runs in my family

[@MerinaRey]

Yayyy! Waited all day for thisss

[@meganperez2339]

Yesss hailey I love when you put out a Vlog every week 😜😊😝

[@amelianamora4171]

I finished reading The Hazel Wood yesterday. Really loved it!

[@racheldulay2604]

Hailey! When you go on your book tour, which I’m sure you will you should definitely come to the Chapters Indigo in Oshawa! Because I’d really love to meet you!😂😂 I’m so excited you finished your outline! I’m super excited for you!❤️❤️

[@estefanifarfan5839]

Congratulations on completing your novel outline! I haven't watched the vlog but I look forward to them every week and I know you've been working hard on your novel!!

[@CompletelyMelanie]

I really enjoy your reading vlogs. They actually inspired me to start doing my own reading vlogs. I have been doing since the beginning of this year. I really appreciate that you don't sugar coat your reviews even if you know and like the author.

[@keerthimurali1990]

Your vlogs make me so happy. It's such a pleasure watching you talk about books. It's so Genuine. You are such an inspiration to all readers out there. Waiting eagerly for your book. Congratulations for completing the outline! 👏👏. Yaaaay!

[@AJMaire]

It's so awesome your writing a book, I know it's no where ready but I can't wait to read it 💕

[@_al00sk]

Good job, Hailey, and congrats on finishing your outline! As always: Great vlog :D I love how you also show your writing process as well as the books that you read - gives me a lot of motivation to get to my TBR (after my exams though)

[@milana7317]

The best videos that exsist ❤️❤️

[@anisaj2282]

I love your videos you are an inspiring booktuber I can't wait to read your book good luck

[@minorasimulator]

I also had family in the Netherlands during the war (my great-grandmother went into labor after curfew so there's a whole story there) so I might be picking up The Girl in the Blue Coat very soon. Thanks for your thoughts! :)

[@macythompson7591]

I'm so excited to buy your novel !!

[@Akudiee]

Thank you for this vlog, feels so intimate! I recently discovered your channel but I already watched tons of videos and I love them! Thank you so much for being such an inspiration! 😘 Good luck for the novel! I am also writting a YA novel (finishing the 1 draft now) and it s such an amazing adventure that totally changed my life :) please make more videos about your writting process - I would love to know your thoughts on it :)

[@marliep4204]

I love you so much you are my inspiration!!!! You should do a reading my nice comments video!!! You helped me through tough tragedies and I will forever love you for it!!!

[@dark1Ordeen]

Girl you inspire me so much to write and be productive 😍❤😘

[@crazybooklady2104]

Love your reading vlogs. I also love your honesty in your book reviews. Tip for headaches: or an ice pack on the back of your neck and put your hands and feet in the warmest water you can stand. The warm water will draw the pressure from your head. My headaches are different but that tip helps me sometimes.

[@plutonicmermaid7220]

I love your vlogs so much they inspire me to get my butt up and to be productive. Your writing info was super helpful and motivational :) P.S. Love from Australia!

[@oXtatsukoXo]

I cannot wait til your book is done! You inspire me to want to write! I totally agree that names are hard and what I usually do is use a fantasy name generator and say the names out loud. Whatever sounds great I use.

[@missbeijerteachesenglish897]

I won a donut once with Roll up the Rim hahaha! It was my first time in Canada (last summer, 2017) and I loved this concept!

[@littlemissstilly]

Your reading vlogs including writing really inspires me to keep going with mine 😊

[@tarahillen877]

Jay Coles is one of the nicest, most genuine people you will ever meet. I can't wait to read his book, and to hear what you think of it, too.

[@WritaholicDK]

I really like these vlogs.

[@tessavery2151]

I love when you vlog taking your Instagram photos! Your feed is gorgeous...

[@kokoblue90]

U are an amazing individual... keep up the great work Ms lady

[@ReadByJess]

Omg that snow! Well done on the outline

[@whitecastlewithbooks8407]

I really enjoyed this reading vlog! :) I think it’s awesome that you outline so thoroughly! I am still trying to figure out what works for me when it comes to outlining. Great Video!

[@wishfulstitches2870]

That shoveling! Dang girl!

[@TheThreeBookshelves]

I don't know if you've mentioned it already, but you should do Camp Nanowrimo in April! You can set your own goal (words, pages, hours, etc) so it's a lot more flexible than standard Nanowrimo. It's also a great for outlining or revising. Also don't know if you've mentioned Scrivener before, BUT if you aren't using Scrivener, please give it a try! It is immensely helpful for outlining, writing, revising, EVERYTHING. It's seriously the most amazing program pretty much EVER.

[@hannamarie4670]

Have you read a natural history of dragons by marie Brennan? It’s really good ( thus far I’m not done yet) but it’s like a memoir of a Victorian lady who goes about studying dragons. Since your like dragon books thought I would mention it!

[@JenKayna]

I requested Tess of the Road too and am currently reading it as well as listening to Seraphina as an audiobook. I accidentally did not realize they are set in the same world! Oops! So far I'm liking Tess of the Road better. P.s congrats on finishing your book outline!

[@bellemcgee7600]

I love your videos!!!! ❤️❤️

[@hopeetc]

I loved the music playing when you are writing! Awesome Instagram photos. Would you consider doing a "tips for outlining a novel" video? Have a good week!

[@moonstone-dreamer6512]

I love your print of the moon i need something like this too and you're so creative

[@BridgeFour05]

What you said at first about Zenith: RESPECT.

[@fandomteaandupdates1361]

Wow 😮you completed your book. Congrats🎉🎊

[@carolinetaylor6988]

Can you do a video about how you designed your bullet journal? I just got mine too and I think something like yours would be super fun! Also I live for your reading vlogs, I seriously look forward to them every week :)

[@mirnasolis4360]

Hi, Hailey I love your reading vlogs and also your videos in general!! I’m super happy that you started your book writing journey!! And being able to see how you do it’s a pleasure and a honor! Wanted to know if you could give me some recommendations on books for writing, I’m a little worried about getting into writing because I’m not an English major so I don’t know to much about the correct ways of writing and I’m a little afraid of starting, because I honestly don’t know how, so if you have any books recommendations or other things that can help me, I’m super thankful for them, also I love when Jackson appears in your reading vlogs, he’s such a handsome cat!

[@storiesofwonderland8900]

As usual, I really enjoy your reading and writing vlog. Thank you for your advice on outlining! I read somewhere that there are gardeners and architects in writing and that the one looks where the story goes and the other plans it out. Then there is somewhere else that states that none of that is true so what is the truth? I don't know anymore. I'l just try out different forms and see what motivates me the most and works the best for me personally.

[@moonstone-dreamer6512]

I'm sorry about your headache they're horrible, i get them a lot but not as much as i used to.

[@Dhor16]

it's april and I just came to the realisation that this wrinkle in time that you mentioned in your february reading vlog is in fact the same book I read about 15 years ago... I didn't connect the two first because I read the hungarian translation and the title wasn't a word-to-word translation. I feel like a changed woman now! lol :D

[@cheyennelynn8193]

Hailey, one book you need to read (even though it isn’t young adult) is “The Girl Before” by Rena Olsen. It is a mystery/suspense novel that has something to do with human trafficking. If your not into that, that’s fine, but I would appreciate if you read the book. The author is a friend of my teacher at school. I’m not just saying you should read because of that, but it is honestly a good book.

[@andrewclendening9529]

My biggest problem with Zenith was the rather self-righteous group of space pirates who served as the heroes. Lira's proclamation to the reader how she may work with killers, but totally isn't one herself is pretty bad, but it doesn't compare to Androma, who has raised "It's always someone else's fault" to an art form. The big thing is how we hear for half the book that Dex totally deserved her trying to murder him and stealing his ship, and when we find out what he did I didn't think he had anything to apologize for, even before he offered the explanation of his actions. Then she blames the parents who helped her escape from jail for not abandoning their lives and going on the run with her. The parents may be jerks, but could she take some responsibility for her own actions?

[@Meghan.Kirkland]

You always make me want to write more of my own WIP! I'm 54, 000 words in and I want to just finish my first draft and get it done so I can start editing and moving into the publishing process

[@Obytc]

Hailey is my most reliable booktuber. Her views on every book has been very similar to that of mine. 😍

[@MeganTrimble]

I love that you go from fancy instagram pics to snow shoveling with the same music, something about that juxtaposition kills me.

[@a_subtlebookdragon]

I am so happy for you❤❤

[@BEATRIIIZOLAAA]

I feel like you'd love Scrivener! It's an writing app you can download to your desktop and they have a 30 day free trial :)

[@camilesouzaa]

Hailey, did you know there are lectures that Brandon Sanderson gave at a college available here on youtube? He had them recorded so people from all over could watch them, and there are hours of content. You can just type "brandon sanderson lecture" and you'll find them. He focus on fantasy and scifi, but he said the tips work for writing in general. They're great (especially considering he's a big name e the whole thing is for free), he talks about all kinds of stuff like different methods of outlining, worldbuilding, how publishing works, etc. You should check it out.

[@BooksofAmber]

Tess of the Road does sound really good. I haven't read Seraphina but I own it, so I might read that before I buy Tess. Hopefully I like it more than you did haha.

[@annie9950]

the editing was on point in this video :))

[@keiraw712]

Hey a good book ( if you haven't read it yet) it milkweed by jerry spinelli the only thing is that it's a middle grade novel but I still think you would enjoy it!!

[@APKHD02]

I’ve read some articles saying that the plot shouldn’t be to important in a first draft and you should just make it up as you go along or think about ideas while walking or in the shower. I’m sure plotting is fine but try not to plot to heavily as it will be hard to fit in new ideas

[@jessicacapper3733]

Congrats on finishing your outline! Where do you get the posters in your background? The whales' tail is gorgeous! :)

[@phoenix9142]

Hauley I love your videos, your way to say things you opinions etc, I love them. I'm also super into the dragons books, and I really recommend "The Inheritance Cycle" by Christopher Paolini, those are my favorite books about dragons All the best wishes for your novel !!

[@MsLPSFOREVER]

You had a better reading week than me! Haha. I'm working my way through Ava Lavender and I'm loving it so far.

[@Rose_-_HH123]

Hey Hailey! I was just wondering what software/program you use when you do your writing? It was great to watch another of your vlogs

[@emily.t11]

Hey Hailee! Sorry to hear you've been having such horrible headaches what medication do you use? I suffer from migraines terribly and I found Excedrin: Migraine and it helps WAY more so hopefully that could help you out? I mean if you don't already take it.

[@michellemease7749]

I had a horrible migriane back in October that lasted about a month and a half. And tried all kinds of meds and nothing helped. So my doctor recommended me to go to the chiropractor and that actually helped me because I had stuff out of place. Younmay want to try that. Also something that helps other this going to the chiropractor os some essential oil, Peppermint to be exact. That stuff works wonderfully.

[@jamieturner8910]

I am sure others have said this in the comments already but that headache you describe is a Migraine. I get them all the time. Next time try Excedrin Migraine Or if you don't have any drink strong coffee and take Tylenol. The combo of Caffeine and Tylenol helps migraines 99% of the time. However if you continue to get them you should see a doctor about it. My doctor gave me a specific medication for Migraines that works within 10 minutes most of the time. Also if you are getting them all the time (which means at least once or more a month) try tracking what you were doing, eating, and drinking before it came on. I learned I get them after drinking or eating anything with Aspartame (which is common for most people who get Migraines) and that is in anything diet or crystal lite, etc.

[@MajesticPufferCat7]

I can't really remember if you had mentioned this before but what genre are you writing?

[@veronica.theswamphag]

Have you read "All the Light we Cannot See"? I think you would love it it was SO SO SO GOOD like actually amazing. WWII historical fiction at it's finest

[@manjualexis2456]

Veronica Marie I guess she read it and didn't enjoy it a lot. But I loved it like you.😘

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

Hey just letting you know that a wrinkle in time that is coming out is a remake, the original movie came out a long time ago

[@26chicky]

We seem to have alot in common when it comes to books. You should read daughter of the forest by Julie Marillier. Do it! Love your channel☺

[@jaedyn225]

ohh i just did a reading vlog too... GURL YOUR SKIN IS ACTUALLY AMAZING

[@tarotundercandlelite]

I never win on roll on the rim. I have been working on two books - nonfiction and fiction.

[@elizabethcritter6543]

Canada love !! Lol I won a coffee my first roll up !! 2018 is really looking up. LOL!!

[@NaysaCraft]

Are you ever going to do writing vlogs?

[@maranda1662]

About your persisting headaches, have you had your eyes tested lately? Sounds super similar to a problem I was having a few months ago and turned out I needed glasses all of a sudden at 26 years old. Hope it lets up soon!

[@louise.493]

Please can you read the mistress by Danielle steel, it isn’t a YA but I recently read it and thought it was an interesting book to reflect on it. Wondered what your opinion might be

[@mspaula0509]

Did you call them "info dumbs"? I couldn't hear it very well but just clarifying because I'm trying to label the historical fiction that has blurbs that don't fit well with the history...

[@sybylrivera6161]

Omg. I just realized that you look a lot like Elijah Mikaelson from The Originals! ❤

[@alyssiareads4994]

I didn't know you had Dutch ancestors! Do you know what area they were from? How cool! Hanneke is pronounced more like Hah (as in Hard), less like Heh (as in Hello)! I find it super interesting to hear how you work on your book, so I hope you keep sharing in future vlogs.

[@SuperStrangSshadow]

People get headaches if they spend too much time in front of a screen and maybe need glasses. That's the biggest reasons why people get headaches.

[@shellyseward6321]

Sorry to hear about your headaches. It wasn't a migraine was it? I get those and they are nasty. I have to take prescription medication for it. Without it I would not be able to cope. Luckily neither of my daughters get them.

[@lisabrittan4552]

Hi

[@499pace]

From where do you request book arches?

[@erintaylor6784]

I’m still not used to Girl Almighty popping up at the end 😂
