HUGE February Book Haul! (I've got a problem)

[@kevinkelly_]

DAMN REGAN BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE BIG BOOK HAUL!!! XD

[@fernandagomez3485]

😂😂 fr

[@ayala3261]

Where Future Ends sounds amazing and is it just me or does the cover kind of remind you of the cover of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August?

[@alannar.8701]

You should read The Candy Shop Wars by Brandon Mull. It was the first "long" book I ever read (at least, it was long to little six-year-old me!), and I remember that I just loved it.

[@royaevereadsbooks]

The Love That Split the World sounds so good, I've heard wonderful things from people that have read it :)

[@CarInTheGarage78]

I think I found your videos through Sasha's channel and I'm so glad I did! Its really nice to have someone who talks about and loves middle grade fantasy! I love those kind of books but I've always felt a little weird about picking them up and reading them because I'm 18 now and so many people go on and on about how they are 'too young' and 'not complex' and 'not good' which makes me sad but also makes me weary to try a lot of them, even if they sound right up my alley.You've reminded me that it doesn't matter as long as I'm enjoying what I'm reading, so thanks for that!! Plus you make lots of great recommendations in general, but especially for middle grade (which I don't see a lot of elsewhere) which is wonderful! Thanks so much for doing what you're doing :) I'm seriously enjoying your videos a ton

[@SamsCozyCorner]

SOULLESS!!! Such a fun series! Hope you enjoy!

[@tainalopez871]

I hope you see this comment! I would be REALLY interested if you did a haul or something of ASIAN writers or book written about Asian Culture/Asian experience (in Asian/Asian American) & then did book recommendations from that haul!!! Or if you know of some books off hand. I only found about 2-3 videos on the topic and would love if you'd do one too! Thanks!

[@sandy9064]

Oooohhh, I'm intrigued by The Dark Days Club. I added it to my amazon wish list. Next pay, it's mine! Like you, I'm fascinated by books set in WWII, and I keep hearing good things about Salt to the Sea. I'm so pleased to see you picked up Soulless! Gail Carriger is one of my top five authors. Her writing is amazing. The characters are beyond quirky, I adore her BFF Ivy, and I can't go a single chapter without laughing. I'm on pins and needles waiting for Imprudence to come out in July. I do feel like I should go back and reread the entire Parasol Protectorate series again since I just finished her Finishing School series. She wrote Parasol first, but Finishing School is set earlier in the time period. That series just ended and the last book let me connect a lot of dots. There were several "O-M-G! Jane Doe is related to Nancy Sue!" moments, thus the reread. If you're looking for a paranormal/fantasy series that involves some Native American mythology you might want to check out Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series. It may not be blatant at first, but further into the series things about Mercy's father become more and more mysterious until a single book focuses specifically on the Native American aspect of her heritage. Amazing! There is one particular plot line of the series I'm not very happy about, but I love the rest so much I have pushed past it.

[@summerwithcj7716]

I love your book hauls so much! You are my favourite youtuber, and I just generally think your tags, hauls, TBR and wrap - ups!

[@veronicavolumes]

Salt to the Sea is soooo amazing!! It's definitely become one of my new all time favorite books. I thought it was even better than Between Shades of Gray. Ugh, I read it at the beginning of the month and I'm still obsessed and won't shut up about it to everyone. Can't wait to hear what you think of it!

[@GoodmorningWalle]

I hope you love the Black Prism! I feel like Brent Weeks writes so many books that I love that never get any hype. The magic system in the Lightbringer Series is one of the most intriguing I've read in a long time. Can't wait to hear what you think!

[@lukealexwilkinson]

I hope you really enjoy the Black Prism book! I'm three books into that series now and it's one of my absolute favourites! If you like the Mistborn series then you will love this!

[@literabby]

For period romances, Lauren Willig's Pink Carnation series is quite enjoyable, it takes place during the Napoleonic Era in England and Paris!

[@drumsofautumn]

Do you know the KZbinr Emma Blackery? She reads A LOT of North Korea non-fiction! I think she even has a video about it on her channel (or her 2nd channel boxesofoxes). She also has goodreads!

[@SoulStainedInk]

I've been looking at a lot of those books pretty hardcore now. However, I just want to add to the Brandon Mull hype...my aunt got the Fablehaven series for my cousin a few years ago and asked me, in the capacity of an elementary English teacher/author, to read the first book and give my opinions before she passed it along to the girls. I LOVED IT! I really need to just get all of his stuff but I didn't want to start another series by him before I get all of Fablehaven and (re) read it. I hope that you really enjoy it, his writing style is awesomesauce.

[@rachelwendling5255]

I absolutely loved the black prism! I'm sure you will too

[@AlannieM]

The Headmistress of Rosemere does have characters that are intertwined throughout the other books, but it focuses on a different story in each book, so you don't necessarily have to read them in order. The other ones are really good and worth reading if you enjoy that one. I have to admit, I was surprised to see it pop up in your video!

[@gingerfoley5319]

Brent Week's Nightangel Trilogy is awesome. My friend gave it to me for a present and my hubby flew through them. I have only read the first one so far.

[@hotmommyto2]

You are going to love Soulless! You will fall in love with the characters! I highly recommend this whole series.

[@gracehzhuang]

I was contacted by Radish as well! It's great that they've gotten so many downloads already (:

[@truenorthstyle]

if you want something austen like try Sylvester the wicked uncle, very pride and prejudice like and so good!

[@verbeelding]

Blackmoore is awesome! You'll love it! Also check out Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson. I'm seriously looking forward to her third book because she writes great Jane Austen-esque stories. Another great Jane Austen related guilty pleasure read is Austenland by Shannon Hale. It's so funny.

[@heebeejeebs]

a contemporary book that I think you would like is I'll Give You the Sun & I forgot the author's name , but it's honestly one of my favorite books and I'm not a huge contemporary fan

[@mayabybee7063]

I know you're not usually into contemporary novels, but I think that All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven would be a book you would really enjoy!

[@Bibliosaurusrex]

I think I misinterpreted period history

[@alliemcmillin602]

BAHAHAHA

[@sunpi]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@ghaidao0]

You have an amusing personality, i always feel happy watching your videos. On the days when you don't post a new video, i tend to rewatch your old ones!! P.s you made my tbr list too long 😂.

[@caitlinjohnson3895]

Mr. Churchill's Secretary by Susan Elia MacNeal is the first of a series I love set in 1940s England. Spies, WW2, and mystery. It's great!

[@everythinglit9099]

Dark Days Club sounds super awesome, might pick that up as a birthday present to myself! xD Also, I bought the Black Prism like 2 years ago in mass market paperback and then they redesigned the covers before releasing the second! D: I want to buy the giant pretty cover one~

[@szalaizsofia7019]

Black Prism's magic system is kinda like Brandon Sanderson's, you gonna love it!

[@ShelleensCreativityRoom]

I just read The Dark Days Club and LOVED it!! My favorite book so far this year.

[@helireads8421]

I read Nothing To Envy: Ordinary Lives In North Korea last year and coldn't put that book down. I think I read in a few sittings, so well written, so interesting and informative. I really recommend it!

[@brokenshutter94]

I highly recommend Evelina by Frances Burney if you're into classics with strong social commentaries. Jane Austen was said to have gotten inspiration from it to write her own novels!

[@jessicashaw6815]

You should definitely read Brandon Mull's Fablehaven series, it's fantastic! I read it around the same time I read the Harry Potter books, it's full of adventure and has a very whimsical feel to it, it's still a favourite!

[@a.m.p.m.965]

One more for loving Soulless but not generally getting too far with urban fantasy. I believe that Carriger's books have been referred to as "urbane fantasy" which I thought was funny and a good distinction. One of my favorite historical fictions is The Agency by Y.S. Lee. It is set in Victorian London and follows Mary Quinn who is a spy for a pro-woman organization (because no one notices women/maids/etc), and she also deals with her mixed-race Chinese/British heritage in a time and place that being Chinese was not ok. Lee has a PhD in Victorian literature, and I feel like she knows exactly what she's doing with her story. I think they are considered YA (the romance is great but fairly mild), and I highly recommend them!

[@sandyreadsalot]

The Love that Split the World sounds really interesting! I need to get my hands on Salt to the Sea!

[@marandahymes146]

Ahh Salt to the Sea, I've been wanting to read that one so bad! :D Great haul, lots of books I would read. You remind me of Gillian Jacobs when you wear your hair down!

[@donnapanzardo3058]

I have salt of the sea I haven't read any of the author's other books but I'm curious to see what everyone likes about her books. so looking forward to reading it soon. so many books not enough time.

[@robcourt8]

I just recently read Julianne Donaldson's other book Edenbrooke, which I really enjoyed. I have yet to read Blackmoore, but plan to soon. You should definitely read some Georgette Heyer!

[@MsRaindropps]

Now I need to rewatch because it seems that I also need these books!

[@JaybirdMelodies]

For Jane Austen period pieces, The Secret History of the Pink Carnation (Pink Carnation, #1) by Lauren Willig. It's whole series that's very light, fairly easy to read and, literally, about Jane Austen. Just for fun. ;)

[@TorusMorganite]

*As Meat Loves Salt* is a stunning historical novel set during the 18 Century and it is intense and sexy and dark and one of my favorite books. It is hugely critically acclaimed. It deals with severe mental health issues and has LGBT main characters. I think you would really enjoy it. Great haul btw tis a lot of books lol!

[@olympia9886]

If possible, closed captions would be the best. Not only for our deaf friends, but those of us trying to sneak watch your videos while at work.

[@PianoLibra]

Georgette Heyer is my favorite Regency novelist after Jane Austen. She writes clean romances, all of her heroines are witty and independent, and the heroes have quite the swoon factor.

[@GabyGabsBooks16]

Salt to the Sea does not sound like something I would usually pick up but I've just seen so many good reviews that I am excited to read it :) Great haul!

[@plotpersuits]

You going to love Gail Carriger, really. I'm crazy about her books!

[@tasg7224]

Regan!!! (I think that's how you spell your name I'm not sure). If you like persuasion I really reccomend anything by Elizabeth Gaskell, specifically North & south. BUT UGH ALL OF HER BOOKS ARE FANTASTIC.

[@BasicallyBrittx]

Nothing to Envy sounds very interesting! Great book haul!

[@Lunia_sl]

Nothing to Envy was an awesome read, definitely an eye-opener and more people need to read it!

[@carrielovesmusic2916]

I read the ARC of Where Futures End, and i really liked it. I'm glad someone on Booktube is gonna read it

[@sunn7045]

Almost done with Finnikin of the Rock and its GREAT! Thanks for being it up and reading it!

[@ABlackbirdsBooks]

Sooo many books! I want to buy more books now. I shouldn't though, I just filmed a book haul myself too, haha! I want to read more period literature too, these all sound really good. Oh and magic realism too! I'm not even sure if I've read books with magic realism before...

[@jensenwahlquist]

Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson is also fantastic! I am so excited you are reading one of my favorite authors!

[@mdith4him]

Blackmoore is SO fun! You'd like Julianne Donaldson's other book, too--Edenbrooke.

[@natalieramones]

I picked up the entire Parasol series from half price books lol can't wait to start it!

[@valentinerousseau4380]

Ahah magical realism in The Love That Split the World got me hooked :)

[@an80slady]

I just read a fantastic memoi of a north Korean defector, The Girl with 7 Names by Hysenseo Lee. I also want to read This Is Where It Ends, but I'm in the middle of Jodi Picoult's 19 Minutes, so I'll wait a little while.

[@chofi9384]

I read beyonders as a kid and loved them, even though I don't think I ever read the last one. Personally, I think the Fablehaven books are better, but anything Brandon Mull writes is a lot of fun!

[@hello79712]

girl, if you end up liking Blackmoore then you have to pick up Edenbrooke. It's pretty cliche from the synopsis, but the author TOTALLY pulls it off and it's surprisingly refreshing! just trust me

[@thesleepyreader4889]

You are one of my favorite booktubers! But I swear I need to stop watching your hauls!! I keep wanting to buy all the books you did (I mentioned you three times in my own book haul)! My bank account can't keep up! haha keep up the great work, you're amazing

[@noaaa7]

The Black Prism is AMAZING Please read it, Brent Weeks deserves more recognition on booktube.

[@GoodmorningWalle]

Agreed! I love the magic system he developed in the Lightbringer Series, and I couldn't put the Night Angel Trilogy down. All such interesting reads!

[@raquelc.c.4195]

Yes, Soulless!!! There's no way not to love it!

[@queenigelkotte]

I really think you're gonna love Soulless!! It is truly amazing

[@CharlieBookFanatic]

I love your videos so much, Regan. I was so happy when I saw you had a book haul up.

[@scarredxangel]

This might sound a little off topic, because it's a movie not a book but I thought I'd tell you cause of the north Korea books but there's a Korean movie I saw (and currently own on DVD) it's based on the Korean war called 72: Into the Fire. It's about the 72 student soldiers who had to hold down their Base in an old school without the help of their superiors and hold of the North. It is very South Korea biased since it was filmed and practically written by Southern Koreans and I can't solely say how historically accurate it is, I'm going to say a decent amount with a few things thrown in for entertainment purposes but even if it's very loosely true, there's enough to get the picture across. I found heartbreaking and eye opening. I recommend it if you're into that. Anyway, back to the topic the North Korean books you got fascinated me so much, I've just put them in my wish list, same with the two period books.

[@destiny9055]

I got persuasion for Christmas and I've been meaning to read it.

[@Wolfhailstorm]

I've yet to read Soulless, but have the first book! I wasn't sure if I wanted the manga or the novel, but saw the novel super cheap in a charity shop, so I caved! xD

[@karenferrero1]

Love Ruta Sepetys and Salt to the Sea didn't disappoint.

[@shaylabateman07]

Omgoodness!!! I LOVED Blackmoore!! You should read Edenbrooke too, its also by Julianne Donaldson and its the same type of book, and I actually liked Edenbrooke better.

[@hello.pickle]

I'm reading Born of Shadow but I keep forgetting about it because it turns out I don't like reading from my phone! haha

[@mandiconnell3311]

Blackmoore is one of my favorite books!!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

This is Where it Ends sounds so good and I need it in my life!!!

[@Iaadpgg92]

Only have read the Black Prism. Definetly a good series. Like his nightangel trilogy moe though. Curious about some of the other fiction books and hope to see how they tunr out. liked the vid

[@AbigailD23]

That app sounds awesome! I need to check it out as a writer. I love middle grade fantasy too. I'm always looking for more to read!

[@CooleenBooks]

Currently reading Salt To The Sea by Ruta Sepetys and yes, it is definitely worth the hype😊

[@sabahfatema]

The book on the lives in North Korea sounds so interesting I'm going to go read it.

[@Brittme2011]

I've just finished Soulless by Gail Carriger and it's really good. I was kind of surprised that I enjoy the series so much as I don't normally like urban paranormal, (I think it being adult instead of YA helps...) but it's super addicting! lol

[@ScarletClarity]

Nothing to envy is so amazing! It's one of my favourite books of all time :) Glad you're giving it a go! ^^

[@shannonz9256]

I LOVED the love that split the world, please read it soon! I want to know what you think of it! :)

[@itsjusttess6535]

I always have to turn down the volume when I'm watching you, there's so much Regan-volume and Regan-energy! 😂 which is 👌🏻 by the way 😉

[@audreynaputri2438]

Nothing to Envy is really great. I hope you like it!

[@greedyreader4629]

Daisy Goodwin is a fantastic author of historical fiction with romance and social commentary. Her writing is easy to get into and the stories have enough substance that you don't feel like you read a bodice ripping romance.

[@taylorweeksy]

I really want to read the Dark Days Club! It's sounds just like my kinda book!

[@starrynightfall00]

I've read Nothing To Envy and its a really interesting read.

[@abby359]

You should read Brandon Mull's other middle grade fantasy series, Fablehaven, I read it a few years ago I don't remember much but I really enjoyed it!!!

[@natalieemma5688]

so so many books! they all sound amazing! im suprised you haven't read salt to the sea yet cos i feel i like ive seen every booktuber rave about it!

[@fatemaaseeri9172]

oooh those period fiction books look really interesting!

[@bookerine8562]

I feel like everyone is saying the same thing : "i purchased way more books than i expected".Haha,i can feel you!

[@cecilyplum845]

Have you tried Storm and Silence by Rob Thier, and it's sequel The Eye of The Storm, both on radish (I think) and the first one is now available in print. He's an amazing wattpad author, and these two books are set in the victorian era, with a strong female lead, and her struggles in getting respected as a person in London, which lead to her getting a job... But she can only have the job, is she pretends she's a man. It's beautiful.

[@mandiconnell3311]

Also if you like middle grade you should read the Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull!

[@TweetyBird862]

I think this video just magically pushed me out of a massive reading slump, yaay :D

[@saybbabe2184]

one of my friends bought over like 30 books(or something around that) in A MONTH

[@librarytears]

i LOVED eon/eona so I might try out the dark days club!

[@MegansCloudyMorning]

I just found your channel and I'm so happy. plus your glasses are so cute!

[@BaileeWalsh]

My favorite author is Kate Morton and she writes historical fiction- you should look up her books and see if they interest you. My favorite book is her second novel The Forgotten Garden and then her first novel The House At Riverton is my second favorite book. (But really I have them as #1 and #1.5 on my list of like Top 10 favorite books because they are by the same author, so my Top 10 list is actually Top 11, just saying.)

[@Amy-pd7ty]

just read salt to the sea and the book was very good. IT WAS GOOD.

[@hannaho9471]

If you're looking for more period novels try Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal. No bodice ripping and it's described as Jane Austen with magic which is completely accurate, the magic though is integrated well.

[@SarahBensonBooks]

+Hannah Oudenaar I hear she's great. I've been meaning to try this book.

[@hannaho9471]

+Sarah Benson Books She is! Her books are super light, quick reads!

[@from26thefloor]

I've been hoping to get Where Future Ends as well!

[@NimrahFatima_]

Where Future Ends looks so good. Great video bdw! 😊

[@louisedunphy3074]

reagen your my favourite booktuber by far , love your videos , keep it up

[@pinky5088]

I got Radish the day it came out! Must read more of Rob Thier's book!

[@pinky5088]

+Pinky Shrirajh I highly recommend Storm and Silence!
