BOOKS I WISH I READ IN 2018

[@HaileyinBookland]

Happy Bookmas day 5!!! Let's talk about all the books I wish I read in 2018 because my reading year is already over since I'm so busy with Bookmas and work, so there is no hope anymore 😂

[@lilyhayward3246]

We were born with an infite tbr list we will never finish 📃❤️

[@genevieveking5078]

lily hayward yes I hope in an afterlife I can go to a heaven surrouned by books or become a ghost and haunt a Barnes & Nobel 😊

[@AClockworkReader]

literally you don't have to reread ember or torch just ask me any questions you have AND READ REAPER ASAP!!!

[@tinyelephant5087]

When you realize you will never be able to read all the books in the universe :(

[@HaileyinBookland]

A TRAGEDY

[@pig3292]

😭😭😭

[@maliatfirst9]

oh my god yes yes i think about all the time

[@genevieveking5078]

I don't want to read all the books in the universe because that would include nofiction which I only read occasionally but in audiobook form. Then there those overhyped books that I have no interest in.

[@Sofia-kx3em]

Terrible 😱😰

[@magikai6016]

I also have a problem with putting off good books- especially the last in a series...

[@eemu252]

SAME, I’m always scared it won’t live up to my expectations, and all of the buildup and suspense from the other books!

[@Ohsheadults]

YES! I was dying to read Vengeful and Archenemies and started Vengeful and stopped and haven't even started Archenemies

You are definitely not alone, Hailey. There are TONS of new releases I didn't get to that are just gonna be 2019 reads: The 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, an ember in the ashes series, Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Pirarcy, and there's a good chance Muse of Nightmares may join that list since December is booked

[@steffyfaith9352]

I am waiting to read ur book hailey u💓

[@thebookwriters2553]

Me too eek🤗

[@JenKayna]

I'm in the same boat for A Reaper at the Gates. I loved book one and two but couldn't really remember what happened. Instead of re reading the whole thing (I dread the thought of it taking a long time too) I just read online summaries for them and it all came back to me! I'm now on the library audiobook wait list for it and can't wait!

[@littlemissstilly]

I'm gonna do exactly what you said not to do 😏 READ SEVEN HUSBANDSSSS IT'S SO GOOD HAILEY. It became one of my top 5 books of all time, it grabbed my heart and i loved it. I also want to read these rebel waves so bad!!! 😍

[@aissataamadou]

I sooo relate. I have so many unread arcs on my TBR it’s actually unbelievable.

[@melanie6759]

There are so many books I planned to read this year! I really wanted to get to Children of Blood and Bone because I hear nothing but great things about it! Hopefully I can get to it in January *fingers crossed*

[@canadianjules]

ahhhh i need to read torch against the night and reaper at the gates so bad!!!! im in the middle of torch and i've been trying to read it for a month but i've been so fatigued and busy from school so it didn't happen :( that's the goal for christmas break!

[@raytonks2236]

I read Radio Silence this year and I loved it!

[@cassandraleblond6490]

Im planning on re-readng the Uglies series starting January, before I knew Impostors came out. I'm also scared I will be disappointed. But that is awesome to know.

[@eemu252]

I wish I read a lot of books, but school just makes it so hard 😭

[@shortestvideos6094]

Yes I have a list of books I need to read as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@bookiemeow173]

Hello Hailey, I think (with your dutch background) you really should read the best dutch middle grade / ya fantasy book there is, which is translated in english only recently. It is called Letter for the King by Tonke Dragt. I have read that book so many times, and it is still my all time favourite :)

[@themrshannonlol2]

Having over 100 books on my TBR stresses me out I just put off all the books I think I'm going to love because I hate when my favourite worlds are over

[@bethholland3627]

I picked up Radio Silence in my library just cos it looked good and I LOVED it and wondered why nobody was talking about it, and then everyone on the internet started talking about and it was such a nice feeling :)

[@thebookwriters2553]

For me, I managed to read 10 books in 2018. My new years resolution for 2019 is to read 20 books. Keep reading.

[@Ohsheadults]

I am saving KoA for my winter break. I was really excited for its release then idk what happened xD but I am determined to finish it this year.

[@eemu252]

Also I love Jackson at the end! He looks soooooo excited to be there!

[@angelitaloser16]

Yes! Start the year off with The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I absolutely loved it! I couldn’t put it down. Once you get past the first couple of pages it gets good. Lol

[@anaannotated5636]

Insanely impressed with how ou managed to prepare so many videos in advance 😂 I’m excited to share some Bookmas vids of my own!

[@IShouldReadThat]

These Rebel Waves is a tough one to start, but really picks up! I ended up liking it a lot despite a VERY confusing beginning 😂

[@xXBelieveItOrNotXx]

Honestly I re-read books 1-5 in preparation for Kingdom of Ash and skipped re-reading Tower of Dawn because I ran out of time. I remembered pretty much nothing from it but it all came rushing back as soon as I read KOA. I read KOA in three days because there was just never a good place to pause my reading, there was too much happening! So I wouldn't be too intimidated, it's such a great finale. I really wanted to read The Darkest Minds series and Catwoman but I was pretty slumpy all year so I'm hoping to get to them next year!

[@malloryrosier9305]

A Reaper at the Gates was one of my favorite books this year!! Torch fell kinda flat for me tbh (I still really liked it tho) but Reaper literally tore me to shreds. In the best way possible haha I think you can look up the summary of the first two online, I'd be so excited to see what your thoughts are on Reaper!

[@thesonorista7853]

I'm so with you in forgetting what happened. It's one reason I try to write at least a small plot summary on goodreads for myself (doesn't always happen) for series books. Reaper was awesome. I've got Kingdom of Ash from one of our new branches I helped shelve and I have to have it back by the 10th when they open! 😢

[@readernac13]

I didnt get to read The Infernal Devices... (just clock work Angel), A gathering of Shadows, The Darkest Minds, Alienated, The Cabin, CatWoman, House of Furies, The Mistborn series, the Shadow March series by Tad Williams and Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King. Currently reading The Night Circus and I absolutely LOVE it!!!❤☺📚

[@huda9445]

I recommend watching Polandbanana’s tower of dawn spoilery review as a recap and about the book having a lot of characters actually Sarah did a very good job of not being confusing .

[@bookswithalyssaj449]

i'm obsessed with your holiday intro

[@LeahReads]

Kingdom of Ash was soooooooo..... Bittersweet.. its was great, definitely a must read 😍

[@emiloubooks6708]

I haven't read "The Seven Husbands" either yet but REALLY want to!! 🤗

[@readbymarta2781]

i need to catch up on the an ember in ashes quartet too ! i read the first book and never continued on with the series

[@macinnismama]

I need to do better at reading series too! I’ve started way too many this year and have put off reading the sequels

[@BasicallyBrittx]

I really hope you'll get to The Seven Husbands in January, because well... (what a surprise) IT'S AMAZING! I still haven't even read An Ember in the Ashes and it has been on my yearly TBR since it came out 😂And in 2018 it still... didn't... happen

[@MikaylaKennedy]

I LOVED Puddin' I hope you'll end up getting to it soon! I loved it even more than Dumplin' and Millie is just the most wholesome character

I haven't gotten around to reading Reaper at the Gates either 🙈 I'm hoping that I can read it before the end of the year though

[@JustaLittleBitRandom]

I went on a semester exchange in the second half of this year which meant I left my books and tbr behind, meaning there are so many books I wish I'd gotten to in 2018!

[@lindsayaidan6809]

I know you said that you don't like rereading books in order to catch up to the newest release, but I really recommend that you read An Ember in the Ashes and A Torch Against the Night before you start A Reaper at the Gates. Some things that happened in Ember are super important to the third book, and you might not get the full impact or completely understand if you don't remember what happened. It's truly worth it though. I would at least recommend reading a detailed summary to jog your memory. And congrats on writing two books this year!!

[@emmacarolinereads]

I think if I hadn't forced myself to read Kingdom of Ash as soon as it was released, I would constantly be putting it off because the paperback is truly a beast of a book and it looked intimidating. At the minute, I have a long list of books I wish I'd read this year including, Book of Dust (a 2017 release), Vengeful, Muse of Nightmares, Children of Blood and Bone, Three Dark Crowns...all of which I had every intention of reading but didn't. It's the curse of the mood reading!

[@FBakes]

I wanted to read a Brandon Sanderson book this year, the Darker Shade of Magic trilogy, Scythe and the Fifth Season trilogy!

[@mayapapaya_tf]

I literally screamed when you held up RADIO SILENCE BY ALICE OSEMAN finally getting the recognition it deserves

[@Katjulant]

With your shirt being a similar color to your hair it looks like you have shoulder lenght hair and IT WOULD SUIT YOU SO WELL! Have you ever consisered cutting it short? You have my vote :p

[@WorldAccordingtoEmma]

I’m currently half way through the 7 husbands of Evelyn Hugo and I’m obsessed with it! I hope you enjoy it when you read it.

[@Moonstone_Wolf]

Loving your bookmas videos! Ugh you’re totally bringing me out of my reading slump!

[@neverendingsadventures]

I wish I had read Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi, Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare, and Simon vs The Homo-Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli. But I could because I’m catching up on the Harry Potter series. UH! Well there’s always 2019! Hope you get to you goal of having a clean slate for 2020!

[@ashleybrycebooks]

I was a die hard Uglies fan and I really enjoyed Imposters. I don’t think you need to reread the first series to enjoy it. It’s definitely a solid standalone series.

[@okalanibergschneider1201]

I just started reading imposters this morning (and I read the uglies series nearly ten years ago) and surprisingly you could just read a synopsis of the first books and just start this one. You don’t really need a lot of back story. It’ll fill in information for you and flows well because this is set well after the uglies series versus extras being set right after the ending of the original trilogy.

[@faudqn]

Radio Silence and other Alice Oseman's books are amazing, I loved them so much I read them all in a week. I love her writing and can't wait to read Nick and Charlie

[@mollyuhe]

I suppose the only book I am disappointed about not reading this year is Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson. But I had planned on reading His Magestys Dragon by Naomi Novak and So, Anyway by John Cleese.

[@starmanfriday7309]

I haven’t read the new uglies book yet, but I recently reread the old books for the first time since middle school and they totally hold up for me

[@AuthorPRMaxey]

All of the Ember in the Ashes audiobooks are really well read, if that helps.

[@axer4817]

Just gratufel for your videos, Hailey! :)

[@alexmatthews3313]

I feel the same about These Rebel Waves! I can't believe I haven't read it yet lol!

[@booksfortea]

Evelyn Hugo is soooo good❤️

[@adnanahmedsultan]

books for tea You know what, there is a book by Ruskin Bond called 'Susana's Seven Husbands' which was published maybe two decades ago and it is very similar to Evelyn Hugo

[@nash5262]

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo has actually been super popular among smaller bloggers, and especially on Twitter for a long time. 😂 But I see how it seems like it came out of nowhere if you don't know any smaller bloggers. I hope you really enjoy it when you get around to reading it!

[@legendaryreader39]

I loved loved loved The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I enjoyed Radio Silence as well.

[@Xk8rsx]

The end card of your cat is such a mood. I see it and I’m like wow that’s me.

[@TheWordN3rd]

Probably not getting to it until January, but I really wish I'd gotten my hands on Skyward so I could read it ASAP!

[@crazybooklady2104]

Currently reading catwoman now and I have previous knowledge but I am still enjoying it so far. Have you read the batman or wonder woman book? For me, its escaping from Houdini. Have yet to get to that one.

[@kaylasierzega7332]

I have yet to read Kindom of Ash......and Tower of Dawn..... gotta get crackin' haha

[@sammie7513]

I’m struggling with kingdom of ash, only around 50 ish pages in but I literally have no idea what is going on or who half the charters are anymore! I’m starting to think the way to get the most out of the book is to reread the whole series! 😬

[@sarahblue7446]

I loved the catwoman book! That whole series is my favorite.

[@alyslim5234]

these rebel waves IS SO GOOD

[@adnanahmedsultan]

Hailey, how many books are there gonna be in the 'Book of Sisters' series?

[@hayleysmith6008]

I am loving all these videos! ❤️

[@portiaedwards4391]

I wish I read Wildcard by Marie luv in 2018 but I've been putting it off cause I've heard really mixed things about it, and I'm reluctant to change my view on my favourite book of the year (warcross)

[@thestory2608]

Two books that we share in wanting to have read in 2018 but haven't, are _Reaper At The Gates_ and _Kingdom of Ash._

[@gloriaandtheneverendingtbr]

I wish i read A Reaper at the Gates, I read the first two books earlier this year, but like with so many series, I want to read it but that means its over and I dont want it to end hahaha the struggle 😂

[@PagesAndInk]

For varying reasons, I didn’t get to Children of Blood and Bone even though I own two freaking copies. I was going to read it this month, but I’m definitely waiting until January. I have the feeling it’s going to make one of my yearly lists so I put it off. 😂

[@starlitbri]

I haven't read Reaper at the Gates yet; waiting for it to come in paperback

[@candyhyojung1860]

radio silence 😭😭😭😭so goooooooddd you definitely need to read it and it is so worth the hype

[@charlietheis4048]

bookseriesrecaps.com is a really good site for a reminder of what happened in a book. Also, I'm almost through Kingdom of Ash and I don't find it hard to follow all the characters, so I guess it depends on the person:)

[@IzzyRain]

I'll have to look into some of these!

[@genevieveking5078]

I feel like I am the only one waiting for the An Ember in the ashes series to finsh. Yes it can be fun to read them as they come out like I did with the first two books. But I would feel more satisfied having the series be complete so I can read them without waiting for the next one to get published. Book four will come next year!

[@patriciaberry9096]

Hey hailed thank you for making your videos and some of your videos made me want to read the books and I am on the 9th chapter on stalking Jack the Ripper and I love it but if you have some recommendations for me let me know

[@cosyreadingtimes8857]

Don't expect too much of Kingdom of Ash... I did so and now I'm a little dissapointed. Though I Bad definetly Mo Problem at all to keep track on the characters

[@AngelikaRenee]

I wanted to get to Kingdom of Ash too but I still have to read Empire of Storm and Tower of Dawn first so there is no way I am actually getting to it before the end of the year.

[@sabothebooklover1978]

I wanted to read The hate you give. Which I still did not read but I will try my best to read it next year.

I’ve noticed in all of our bookmas videos you haven’t been mentioning Bookmarked. Was there a reason there wasn’t an episode this week?

[@christinag2420]

Catwoman by SJM was a book I Dnf'd. I'm not the biggest fan of her writing, and there's a few issues in that Selina Kyle is Cuban in the comics but described constantly as pale in the novel and the handling of a police brutality theme within the novel. Also so much misogyny. So much

[@peanutmabel]

Christina G as a Latina myself I can assure you that pleeenty of us are pale/light, including Cubans! But yeah, the book was trash overall imho

I wish I was able to read Children Of Blood And Bone, The Gentlemen’s Guide To Vice And Virtue, The Astonishing Color Of After, Fangirl, Tess Of The Road, Strange The Dreamer, A Darker Shade Of Magic, And Miss Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children

[@chroniclesoftae1280]

I am so behind on my TBR, it’s not even funny. Idk why but for some reason I have yet to read some of my most anticipated releases for this year: A Reaper at the Gates, Kingdom of Ash, A Map of Days, A Very Large Expanse of Sea. Partly it’s because there simply aren’t enough hours in the day. But on a subconscious level I think I’ve also been putting off reading them because most of these are the next/last installment in a series that I already love so much. It’s a little intimidating and as much as I want to read these books, I also don’t want the series to be over/to have to wait a year or more for the next book! I definitely plan to read QoAAD before the end of the year, and hopefully Kingdom of Ash too. The others will be my first reads of 2019!

[@tillthestarsevaporate]

The books I wish I had gotten to in 2018 are Kingdom of Ash, Girls of Paper and Fire, A Very Large Expanse of Sea, and Legendary 🙈
