[@kittkatkitty1]

My mom LOVES Heidi too! She grew up with the anime version but dubbed in Spanish :) she's actually rewatching them currently!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Your classics are all so pretty!! Peter Pan is so good 🙌🏻

[@suchitadasgupta1615]

LOVE YOU, HAILEY!!! YOUR VIDEOS ARE AMAZING!! KEEP GOING!!

[@HaileyinBookland]

💖💖💖

[@suchitadasgupta1615]

I AM SO HAPPY YOU REPLIED!! LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCH BOOKMAS DAY 6!!!

[@megamind3058]

This year I've read Sherlock Holmes solely because of the BBC series. I'm not ashamed.

[@sarahelasfour6562]

Mabel Potato You are not alone, sister..

[@hotpriestess]

Heidi is my childhood!!! Its so popular in Germany and the cartoon is sooo cute! You have to watch it!

[@gemmac2485]

I'm currently reading Peter Pan for the first time at the ripe old age of 32! I usually don't read classics, but 2016 has been my year of reading outside of my comfort zone. I'm really enjoying reading lots of new genres :)

[@SaumyasBookstation]

I have read all these books except A Little Princess. I have read all Jane Austen books except Persuation which I had to read this month but there are so many books that I have that are lying unread that I am struggling to get to it. And Heidi was very popular when I was around 8 or 9 here in India because there used to be a cartoon about it and then of course I read the book after a few years. :)

[@cookiegirl327]

The story of Heidi has always been a favorite of mine. I grew up watching the Shirley Temple version of the movie constantly. I still haven't picked up the book yet, but it is something I plan on doing when I'm not too busy with school.

[@GM-wq6kq]

"A little Princess" and "The Secret Garden" are just great books! Actually, The Secret Garden was the first novel I had read in my life, and it was quite the one that made me love reading. If I had to suggest anything, it would be Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women." The book is about sisters and how they can be quite different, fight all the time, but always stand beside each other. The book is quite comic too! Also Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre" is quite amazing. I have read it by now four times beside studying it in school.

[@annabooks0265]

I read A Little Princess when I was in 4th grade (I'm in 5th now) and I absolutely loved it. I read The Secret Garden a month or two ago and I loved it too. Yesterday I got a book set of all 3 Frances Hodgeson Burnett books. I am really glad I found you, because your the first book youtuber that I have found that I like and that has similar interests.

[@ketowithbecca7330]

I need to read Sense and Sensibility ahh pride and prejudice was amazing!!!

[@sophiemontecalvo7503]

Ohhhhhh I read Sense and Sensibility this year!! It was so good!! Marianne was whiny at points, but I loved Elinor!

[@sophiemontecalvo7503]

Also, if you've read S+S, then you should definitely watch the BBC version!

[@jheartlovesbooks5883]

Awww yay thank you for featuring my Instagram picture! I love the #bookmas videos and relaxed read a thon💕💕

[@jessicahoman7286]

It is now my goal to read a classic every month next year. I just checked my good reads and the closest thing to a classic I read this year was forever by Judy Blume.

[@cristylee07]

I only read one classic this month and that was Heidi, I love that story

[@rocknregalia]

Next year to help read one each month, choose an easy December one like Miracle on 34th St or Letters From Father Christmas. Both are cute and quick reads.

[@xxemilyanderson]

I handed in my last essay of the semester this morning so now I can start actually reading for fun tonight ☺ I also love today's topic so I'm excited to make a video once I'm done work today!

[@Moonstone_Wolf]

Thank you for sharing the publications of the books! I was very curious. :) I read A Little Princess too and loved it. Secret Garden is one I want to re-read now...I haven't read it since I was much younger.

[@kiarad-m]

You have all the pretty editions of the classics!!!

[@amandasafterword9512]

All of your editions are totally gorg! I've never heard of The Little Princess - I'll have to read it! 👑 keep up the awesome videos!! ☺️☺️

[@SharonRSDiaz]

Jane Austen is my FAVORITE author!!! ❤ I love classics and will always recommend her works. North & South by Elizabeth Gaskell and Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë are also amazing!

[@danikatzi12]

I'm currently reading sense and sensibility 💖 and I read pride and prejudice a few weeks ago, Jane Austen is great! I'm so happy I finally started to read her great novels

[@BreSinging]

Heidi and Courage mountain were HUGE movies in my house and I'm American. I grew up watching and reading things most people didn't. Lol. I was weird. I'm buying my Mom the DVD for Christmas.

[@hannahsmith6303]

Ooo I studied Peter Pan and The Secret Garden too for one of my classes this year, Peter Pan is definitely kinda creepy. We looked at disability and The Secret Garden and other texts too and it was really interesting learning how the characters were either cured or killed off. I loved reading them though, I shall have to take a photo and do the hashtag to show my other choices too!

[@makarisland]

bOI The Secret Garden is one of my all time favorite books. However it's the only classic I've ever finished. I got into reading in English 3 years ago, and 13 year old me was not ready for diving into classics in a foreign language! Luckily my English has improved SO much even though I've always done really well in school. After Christmas I'm going out to buy some more classics and try my best to read them. They have some beautiful hardcover editions, but you can also find a great amount of good classics for a really good price. I'm so hyped to dive into new generas, even though fantasy will probably always be my favorite. I'M JUST REALLY EXCITED AND THIS VIDEO GOT ME HYPED AHAHA sorry

[@imaginativebibliophile549]

I really enjoyed reading Heidi by Johanna Spyri. It is so descriptive and a story of innocence in nature.

[@harisrazzaque9772]

[@itsprincesspot]

Omg thank you so much for putting me in your bookmas 😊😊❤️❤️ I love your videos so muchhhhh. & ugh I really wanna read Peter Pan and The Secret Garden. Your editions are really pretty👌🏻❤️

[@PeculiarCollections]

My favourite classic book is the outsiders by S.E Hinton

[@beelove116]

You HAVE to watch Heidi! It's great!

[@xBeluuuuuux]

could you please make vídeos showing the layout of the different publishers? because I want to buy from bookdepository but I like to read books with big letters. Thank you!

[@isabellak8318]

Best Booktuber everrr💖

[@harisrazzaque9772]

im going to start the secret garden soon after my exams and after that Alice's adventures in wonderland only because u loved reading them so much 💓

[@Hollyheartsart]

I'm really bad at reading classics.. in fact it's why I HATED to read when I was in school because of being forced to read old classics. I will get into them one day, possibly. lol

[@nutshellreadsandwrites]

One of my favourite classics is more of a modern one and I think you might enjoy it it's I Capture The Castle by Dodie Smith :)

[@SharonRSDiaz]

AllMiniLeeches Dodie Smith!!! Author of 101 Dalmations - love it!!!

[@booksaml7892]

I am so behind , hoping will catch up with the videos and reading from tomorrow ( i will pre film lots of them). My sister said I will not like the Peter Pan book because is so much different then the movie and and bad (any advice)?

[@thatclassygirl5094]

[@Aussie_chick85]

[@trishpolkinghorne8606]

[@crazybooklady2104]

love Jane Austen ❤

[@Narnia61]

The Secret Garden has a sequel called Misslewaite by a different author.

[@jessisgaminghive337]

I like your sweatshirt where did you get it??

[@brindarajesh4518]

i really loved secret garden and if you liked sense and sensibility then you will LOVE pride and prejudice cause i did. i probably re-read pride and prejudice 5 times this year....

[@wertoxik2125]

I LOVE your videos!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@evalen5895]

The covers are so pretty😍 I haven't read that many classics yet but I absolutely want to start reading some jane austen books (and also Peter Pan, I also haven't read it yet #shameonme) 🙇😇

[@realkojitmal]

I'm European and tbh Heidi is not important AT ALL here, most people might just know the figure (blond girl in the mountains??) but I wasn't even aware there's a book. On a plus note, I've read about 13 classics this year and am reading 2 more at the moment. It's been a very classic-y year for me, apparently :p 2 of my favourites of this year are The Count of Monte Cristo (Alexandre Dumas), which took me ages but was such an amazing book, and And Then There Were None (Agatha Christie), of which I now understand why it's voted "the world's favourite Christie" because wow. Just wow.

[@Marencha]

Great video again 😍😘🤗! Have a nice day 😘💕

[@hindugoddess222]

what edition is your copy of Heidi?

[@amritasengupta5251]

Not judging the books by their covers but your books have awfully pretty covers. I have some of from Wilco. Some of them are paperbacks but none of them are this pretty. But like you I enjoyed reading all these 5 books. Looking forward to your next book video.

[@belovedbenton]

I finished reading another book😃 #Bookmas

[@Daniela-kz7yp]

you are so smart 😍

[@em_the_sad_nerd7611]

first comment!! and I am reading Jane Eyre right now

[@SharonRSDiaz]

Emilt Arey Jane Eyre is great!!!

[@em_the_sad_nerd7611]

Its hard at first to get into it, but I'm liking it.

[@GM-wq6kq]

Emilt Arey complete reading it. It is quite amazing. There are parts where you just can't stop.

[@danikatzi12]

I read it for the first time about 3 weeks ago and I loved it 💖💖

[@ivanildosantos7737]

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

[@aflowerthatcannotbebloomed]

Lol I haven't read even five classics in my life (I've only read les mis, the great gatsby, the wizard of oz & a christmas carol) but I do want to read more of them. haha the reason why is because I don't live in the usa or canada or the uk so I don't have to read those classics for school because I lived in the netherlands and I only had to read those dutch books i never liked or books like tfios and sarah's key for English so nope no classics. haha and then I also mainly read fantasy books

[@littleprincessmermai]

Emma L. Lmao same I've only read Fahrenheit 451, Wizard of Oz, and the Secret Garden.

[@Evergreenforest33]

Ok I hate how all book KZbinrs stay away from religion and political stuff LIKE THOSE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO READ Why stay away from it. That is what READING IS ALL ABOUT... to Keep educating yourself.This is probably the 3rd time this week i have heard something "religious" Wise.. A comment about it's too blah blah blah or It provokes blah blah blah. It's WRITING THAT IS WHAT ITS FOR. Not that what she said about "Heidi" offends me but I am so sick of hearing how that's not what I like to read or yadyah anyways I enjoy trying to be optimistic with everything especially reading

[@HaileyinBookland]

It's just not my taste haha! To each their own 😊

[@Evergreenforest33]

Hailey OMG!! LOL No I'm not directing it towards you

[@michelea2326]

KJ Gulyban I was thinking the saaaaaaaaame thing :)

[@tracy2919]

I see where you're coming from and to an extent I agree. I love books (well it's a play/movie but whatever) like Inherit the Wind that discuss religion's role in society but I think what Hailey means is that discussing is different than preaching which is the point where it loses its profundity. Sometimes books tell instead of show/convince when it comes to religion and politics. They don't usually take a step past to discuss morality and where we should get our morals from and why. Classics especially seem often to talk to people who are already convinced on a way of thinking and believing and living instead of going to a deeper level of thought. Does that make sense? I hope so 😛

[@jonathannoel7144]

Jesus stop with the caps there's no need to be so hysterical lol

[@staisyhendrickson9600]

A book I recommend for you is Anastasia I don't know The author

[@calamityquentin]

If you do one classic a month next year, please pick up the Lord of the Rings if you haven't read them already! They are truly one of my favorite series of all time and are very close to my heart and I'd love to hear your opinions on them (:

[@confessionsofabookaddict6862]

I would consider The Little Prince a classic

[@rubesfood]

I didn't even know peter pan was a book

[@Nenebeautyy]

I thought you would speak about "serious" classics, most of the books you showed are for children!

[@layma5113]

tfw 80% of the books I read are classics :D

[@gemmykate88]

love watching you vids.. i am having an awesome time with my first bookmas.. thank you so much for mentioning me in your video..
