I Read the Most Viral Books of 2022...

[@hannahdigitals]

At this point I don’t read viral books when they first become popular, I wait till the second wave of reviews come to know if it’s actually good or not

[@BamBabyBrenda]

Same, I usually wait a good while. Then I try it for myself if it still is getting decent reviews.

[@triptisaini3225]

Same here. After watching all the KZbinrs giving their own reviews 😂😂

[@NaturallyThick08]

Same here also 😊.. I usually wait till the hype is over so I can read peacefully and create my own opinion and experience! …avoiding spoilers ofc!

[@maryam8538]

yep, it’s the perfect method

[@BookGoesMyHeart]

My methodology as well 😂

[@ryan]

I love booktube 😻

[@arabella7332]

hi ryan

[@BamBabyBrenda]

Booktube!

[@khalilahd.]

Love the support ❤

[@imabookworm]

HALLLOOOO. Ryan u should do a challenge where you read faves of Haley. I bet you'll succeed!

[@lilangels2980]

Who is this random stranger?

[@saraonashelf]

Tip: for books like babel, either with many pages or complex, I recommend reading while listening to the audiobook. Makes getting thru it while understanding it that much easier

[@aylareinoehl7441]

Yes! I agree. I’m currently reading Babel like this. I also recommend only reading one chapter a day as well.

[@naomipriest6925]

Most definitely

[@katies3625]

Yes, and the Babel audiobook is excellent!

[@lorelaikate]

Next you should have Ryan read three of your favorite books 🤭

[@khalilahd.]

Wait I love this idea ❤

[@EmDaughterOfTheMostHigh250]

Yes!

[@paytn.2005]

Omg yes I love that

[@elizabethmoore7849]

PLEASE

[@racheljordan05]

yes we need this

[@julieg9847]

I would never have picked up Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow because of the hype and the same-ish reviews, but you've changed my mind. Seeing you try it and talk about it more than just surface level really makes me want to read it now. 📚

[@kelseyedwards7931]

Same! Now I wanna read it but I’m afraid I’ll be bored with fiction books because I usually do.

[@SG-kt3vj]

Same! I'm just afraid it is geared for gamers, which I am not. Is it still worth the read?!

[@michelleandbass406]

@@SG-kt3vjI read Tomorrowx3! I love video games and found it to be heavy on the game side of the story however, I’ve seen A LOT of people online say they don’t play games and still very much enjoyed the book! I think you’ll be fine so long as you have an open mind. 😁

[@SG-kt3vj]

You guys have convinced me! I ordered it and it came yesterday!!!

[@MsMinimagnum]

​@@kelseyedwards7931 this book is very lengthy BUT! i was pleasantly surprised that it did not get bored at any stage/ chapter.

[@Sama-yd4cl]

I really love how slow Babel is. It’s slow but never boring because you’re learning so much about language. I think we just live in a world where people need quick and exciting and that’s not necessarily a good thing all the time in books.

[@chilledoutblob7173]

That description kinda reminds me of lotr lol

[@cassandrakaguitla]

Hayley, Steph, and Jack posting all on the same day made my life complete

[@1islawww]

@textmeattelegramathaleypha8272 shut up pls:)

[@JimColosimo-q4t]

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow is the book I’m currently reading and I already love it so so much. I love that you pushed through the beginning and ended up enjoying it

[@Star-po2fw]

If you’re looking for more general fiction, you should read Anxious People by Fredrik Backman. It’s a bit confusing for the first bit but the end is soo good

[@evacwood]

I love that book so much!

[@jennifertran9097]

i’ve been eyeing that book for awhile so this is my sign to get it!

[@arpitabishnoi0308]

At this moment of time, I can proudly say that I don't trust much of the booktok recommendations but if it is read by Haley I get the motivation to read it...... Can we just appreciate the amount of effort she put to make these videos for us....✨

[@Missmagazinebura]

I agree . I like Hayley Pham books

[@sw61911]

Yeah booktok is nothing but the same books.

[@ceceklyd8929]

So true 😊❤️

[@Books.868]

YESS ✨

[@sarahmcdonnell1755]

Honestly I'm trying to trade booktok for booktube because it's so much more interesting and accurate

[@PrettyGuardian]

That passage that you highlighted from Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow questioning "Why was it acceptable for apparently well-meaning people to see the world in such a general way?" really stood out to me as well. It was definitely a meaningful scene, although I don't know that it contributed much to the overall narrative.

[@KyshiaMarie]

I’d love for you to know I’ve read two books so far this year, which is equal to the number of books I read last year (both last year I had read before though) and YOU GET 100% of the credit for that. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for giving me the encouragement to read books that don’t necessarily have a “point” and as you said “exercise that muscle”. I have really been enjoying reading your recommendations and can’t wait to make my own choices too. I literally put a bunch of titles in a wheel online and when I finish I spin the wheel for my next one.

[@djshadowz9832]

Good for you!

[@Weirder_the_better]

That is so exciting! You’re on a roll this year.

[@rubyhamm1751]

Ok. I just have to say: I love reading, but I also love watching KZbin. When I found your channel, I fell in love with it. Whenever I watch your reading videos, I rekindle my love for reading! The way that you talk about reading, and just watching you read in general, gives me so much motivation to read! Love you, and thanks so much!!

[@Daniela-romans614]

You should read the Chronicles of Narnia next! They’re easy read, fast paced (since each book is around 100 pages), and I love them💕💗

[@Gloomm2007]

Haley,I can see Legendborn in the background. You have to read it ASAP, it's amazing

[@khalilahd.]

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow is the book I’m currently reading and I already love it so so much. I love that you pushed through the beginning and ended up enjoying it ❤

[@camfenske]

I love your book vlogs 🤩 you’re the reason I fell back in love with reading 🤍

[@lai.art3]

Honestly Haley is my go to booktuber, since we have similar tastes I always get book recs from her and not one has disappointed me ❤❤❤

[@sarahcats8683]

Absolutely loved Babel, it was very much a top book for me, love the writing style. You started talking about Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and I checked my library holds to see when it was coming and realized I read it last month and already couldn't remember reading it. I enjoyed it while I was reading it but already could not remember the story so, not quite a 5-star read for me.

[@PEPence-hf7kk]

Totally my problem. I checked a book out of the library last week and didn't remember I had already read it until I started reading it again.

[@sohollysings]

i love your videos because of the spaciousness and serenity of your house! it’s so colourful and aesthetically pleasing, and i like that you change locations a lot 🙌

[@fromischa]

this video was so well made !! it was so helpful to hear your thoughts on each book especially since you weren’t vague about what you liked and what the books were about. it didn’t feel like any of the scenes you mentioned were “spoilers” and it definitely made me curious to read them myself !!

[@Go2heck]

you should do a video where you go to local bookstores and ask the employees to show you their favorite book and then read/give us your review of each book!

[@emilytaylor1244]

I've been looking forward to watching this all day. Such a great moment finishing work, grabbing a snack, hooking my laptop up to the tv and finally getting to hit play. Love this video Haley. Started to feel tempted to read tomorrow, tomorrow etc. Also loving hearing about how much you like/don't like books from different genres :) Thank you for another fantastic video!

[@Jaelynn_M]

I love how you are supporting Mai your sister 1:56

[@onefocus5882]

I loved the editing style in this video! A lot of mixed media and just the way you shot things. So creative! Love your videos as always and your thoughts on different books! 😊

[@ssfrvr725]

Hailey literally motivates me to read books! Thanks to her I've literally become a bookworm! ✨ Definitely my go to booktuber!!! ILYSM Haley!! 💕💕

[@yellowhouseport18]

It's gotten to the point that once Haley announces that a reading vlog video is coming out I am literally counting down the hours 😭 I love them so much

[@joy6146]

I feel so motivated to read after watching your videos. I love your channel!

[@isabell9703]

I have recently been in a reading slump, but seeing your videos gives me so much motivation to read. ❤ Thank you so much Haley ❤️❤️

[@elizeyt]

lessons in chem was my second fave book of the year I thought it was amazing!!!! really excited to read these other two xx

[@readingwithleesh]

I can’t wait to read lessons in chemistry

[@sakshamdas2715]

inspired by your videos I actually started reading books this month and completed 2 books which feels soo refreshing

[@emilierochette6744]

It's great to see you "branch out" of your usual preferred genres. It shows that you can always find something new in reading that you didn't think you would like. :)

[@BityBat]

My hobbies fight each other as well from Reading, Drawing, Animation, and Crocheting, my hands are never empty

OMG STOP IT I JUST REALISED ONE OF MY VIDEOS CAME UP ON WHEN YOU HAD THE SCREEN RECORDING OF YOU SCROLLING THROUGH KZbin VIDEOS!! The way I literally got so excited omg 😍😍😭

[@Cinnamxnstick]

Thank you for this - I have had Babel on my bedside table for over a month now and it is just so hard to get into!!!!! But I felt like that about The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and that turned out to be one of my all-time-faves so I know I should push through! Going to order a hardcopy of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tommorrow and get the audiobook of Lessons in Chemistry. This video was a match made in booktube heaven for me 💗

[@lissholley]

I want to try and do a challenge like this eventually bc it looks so fun! Thanks for the book recs. I've been looking to get into thrillers but didn't know when to read

[@isszy]

absolutely love ur vids! Keep up the good work!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@Me_______]

A book I highly recommend reading is Red Queen if you haven’t read it already! It’s a fantasy book and kinda of love? If you enjoy the first book the second book is kind of slow but you get to meet a lot of new people

[@MissFarewells]

I’m honestly so happy to see someone read at a normal pace and not super fast because I’m so slow at reading 😭

[@Nothereforit174]

I absolutely love R.F. Kuang's books, and I'm reading the poppy war rn, and it starts off slow, and there is a lot of battle, and then back to slower but I absolutely love it. and sometimes I just need time to digest what had happened, I love it!

Can we all just agree that Haley is the person everyone wants to be in their twenty’s. She is literally so motivational and inspiring and she is getting me right back into chess 😍💕 Btw a good book you should read is the Seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo

[@hadashahdecker1053]

frrr

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. There are a lot of books out there that most people haven't heard about that should get a lot more exposure. The last one I read was When Dying Is Not a Problem and I really enjoyed it.

I know there’s a million comments saying the same thing, but I will always wait until Haley’s and Rachel’s recommendations rather than most others as they have the most similar taste to my own. So Haley if you’re reading this just know millions of others as well as myself value your videos and you sharing your opinions online greatly. Thank you ❤

[@Nothereforit174]

Not millions. That was a gross exaggeration with disturbing implications actually. Most people make their own decisions about how to read, aside from a small percentage of easily influenced younger readers looking for a role model figure. It’s fine. But it’s not millions and would be swift like in affect in not greater if that were true which means the market would’ve noted it after video releases. And then we’d have to question what happened to free thinking and inclusive reading because there’s not much here for Black and/or queer readers/authors to start

[@MariasNook]

Wait this is actually so funny. I had watched this video right when it came out. Now this week I finished reading Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow myself. To process the book (because I'm having trouble putting my feelings about it into words) I thought watching Haley's video again would help. In my notes app I literally took a note that said "I'm only on page 172 but it already feels like I read an entire novel worth of Sam and Sadie's story". So when Haley mentioned the exact same thing at 3:40 that was so funny 😮😂
