It's a Winter BOOK Wonderland!

[@franciscofaustino6108]

i LOVE YOUR FRECKLES!! You're so pretty :D

[@BooksAndJams]

Yay for resurrecting tags! Those of us who are newer to BookTube may not have seen them, let alone done them!

[@OpheliaVert]

I am just obsessed with your channel. I really got out of the habit of reading fiction for fun, because I read a lot of non-fiction for my degree and I started to think that if I wasn't reading a book that was a classic or would improve my life, it wasn't worth it. I've started reading fiction for fun and I feel excited about reading again! Your channel has definitely been a huge part of it. Thank you!

[@iamrjdennis]

I'm so excited for Christmas!! Thank you so much for making videos Regan, they always brighten my day :) Stay strong! 💙

The U.K. Edition of Mistborn is beautiful! I want them!! I can't wait to read Illuminae, it is currently on deck for my book club! I feel Cursed Child had so much potential and if Ms. Rowling had more to influence writing it, it could've been so good! Very underwhelming. It's starting to get chilling here in Phoenix, so this seems like an appropriate tag to do!! Great video! Thank you!

[@anna--emilia]

you bringing up Mistborn just reminded me of when you started pushing people to read the series. I'd had it on my tbr but you definitely pushed me to read it and even all these years later I'm so grateful! xx

[@julialovesgfriend]

The Book Thief has been my favorite book since I was nine,when my father gave it to me,and I completely agree with you! I've also made all of my friends read it 😂😂

[@hannahkhalil6838]

OMG! I saw keepers of the lost cities on your shelf, and that makes me really happy! LOVE those books!

[@evaguelis9160]

Haha! Love how you are jumping into the holidays! I want to read Illuminae soon!

[@MikSue2047]

We're currently reading "The Book Thief" in English class (which makes me so happy because it's my favorite book and I want everyone else to love it as much as I do). My classmates are all starting to reach the end of the book now so we're all just crying together. Good times. In all seriousness though, that book is so powerful and so so compelling. It amazes me every time I read it.

[@Taleofthegreat]

Completely agree. I would totally burn the majority of The Cursed Child's chapters with absolutely zero regrets. It had it coming.

[@Elliterally]

It has as many plotholes as it does ridiculous moments. Ffs. This is not canon

[@AleVela13]

I would keep the scorbus scenes tho...

[@Elliterally]

alex well scorose is canon confirmed yanno. Scorbus was just queerbaiting mostly

[@AleVela13]

Ellie damn it you're right lets burn the book idc anymore (i always forget the fact that scorpius and rose are canon yikes)

[@Elliterally]

alex BUT i love draco's redemption :(

[@pixelatedDream]

I know there are a few comments about your lipstick and makeup in general and I want to comment on that but first, I love all your videos you are my favorite Booktuber! Now as to the lipstick/makeup. I was just telling my husband that you inspire me. I'm one of those people who look on Instagram or other KZbinrs and they have this clear porcelain skin and their makeup is like level 9000 perfect and their lipstick is always the perfect shade and perfect and no matter how much I try or practice I can never get mine like that. For example, everyone else can get their lipstick to connect at the corners. I never can. I Have a lot of freckles and I hate them. I try to cover them with foundation but it never does the job completely. I'm one of those people that have to have layers of makeup on to feel pretty. Yet here you are, with (correct me if I'm wrong) no foundation, just eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick. Your lipstick looks just like when I put mine on (minus a little of the smudging) and you have freckles like I do but you're beautiful! It makes me feel like, maybe I'm beautiful too and maybe I don't have to look like all those other women and maybe freckles are cute lol

[@thelaurenlist1433]

Such a fun and festive idea. Your videos always brighten my day, Regan!

[@emilyeholbrook]

love love the storm light archives read the first 2 books back to back. Brandon Sanderson is by far in my top favorite authors

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Totally agree with the Mistborn covers - so so pretty!! I need to read Illuminae -.-

[@Equal_inDeath]

Last time I was this early... I wasn't, I'm always late

[@Liz-mt6kz]

Ahhhhh the lights on your shelves are so cute!!

[@alyssf9341]

Oh The way of Kings, I loved this book so much. Enjoy the read!

[@assemblyizeable]

I was not aware The Way of the Kings is supposed to be a part of a 13 book series. That blows my mind-- it's already huge! I have the audiobook of it, and I'm only about an hour (out of 45!) into it. It's definitely intriguing so far.

[@kris1580]

The way of kings is worth all the time you'll spend reading. I hope you don't get intimidated by the size and push through it. It's really not that long(i know it's a thousand pages but still... It doesn't feel that long when you read it) I hope you get to read it by the end of the year or at least have started it. The second book, words of radiance, is even better. :)

[@bookink640]

The book that I'm totally going to read (again) this Christmas/Winter: My True Love Gave To Me. I love that book a lot! Anyway, I want to read Cursed Child but I'm not sure about it. I'm afraid it will change my perception of Harry Potter and I don't want to lose my beloved childhood stories.

[@taylorrobinson1146]

Love your videos, and you're flawless:) also...I'd be interested to see an updated bookshelf tour. I know those videos are a TON of work but maybe when winter break starts? Idk just a suggestion. Love your channel!

[@sabrinaeverywhere]

I'm envious of you reading The Stormlight Archive for the first time 😊😊

[@Starvingstudentstyle]

Stormlight Archive is long but it also reads really fast. I cannot wait for Oathbringer in 2017

[@beautyandthebooks2672]

I'm so glad this tag is back!

[@tinkerspell4850]

the Illuminae books completely undid me - I was not prepared

[@martaovi5404]

I love you Regan. I love your irish smile....but your celtic face is perfect.....Ireland the Green Land ....God save your ever....

[@TheFarahProject]

Harry potter and the Cursed Child: The book that never was. Never existed. NOT A THING. "It's always going to be The Book Thief by Markus Zusak." My soulmate. I book-pushed this on my bookclub back in university. How? Well, I just happened to be the president and took a tyrannical stance. ALL MUST READ THIS. (Interesting, because the next book I chose was Animal Farm. SOME BOOKS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS. lol)

[@VanessaMarieBooks]

I plan to read Illuminae in Jan. I can't wait, I'm doing a buddy read for it with a friend of mine.

[@kimberlynava4906]

I have to say I've never read anything by Brandon Sanderson but I think I kind of want to now :) Also you make me want to drop everything I'm currently doing/reading and pick up my unread copy of Illuminae, lol.

[@SElyas96]

Kimberly Nava do yourself a favour and read the mistborn series, its epic, on the 5th book and already dreading coming to the end

[@DontHaveaDegreeinReading]

Kimberly Nava I thought it was just a trilogy? what are the other 2 books called?

[@kimberlynava4906]

I've never actually read the series, lol, (although I'm definitely planning on it now) but on Goodreads it says that for the Mistborn Series book 4 is called The Alloy of Law and book 5 is Shadows of Self. I'm not sure if that's what you were asking but I hope it helps :)

[@SElyas96]

The Astonishing Ashley theres a sixth book in the series called bands of mourning, I read the first three together and have been very slowly going through the final 3, don't want it to end

[@DontHaveaDegreeinReading]

Sara Elyas thank you both so much!

[@HannahBihnana]

I was walking thru my college campus and saw some guy reading Words of Radiance and I was like MY MANNNN and then I remembered I haven't read any of the Stormlight Archive yet lololol. Also then I heard about the Lin-Manuel and Pat Rothfuss team for a tv show and now i'm suddenly in the mood to read ALL THE FAT FANTASY BOOKS

[@sandyreadsalot]

I'd definitely have a snowball fight with characters from Illuminae too haha

[@olivia1910]

Haha I'm not usually intimidated by the size of a book but The Way Of Kings will literally take me forever to read ! I started it in october but had to put it down for a while, there's so much to take in ! (and I find it a bit confusing that the world isn't really explained at first, we kind of just have to go along with it and get used to the strange names, even though knowing Sanderson it'll probably all make sense at some point) but I'm sure I'll get back to it soon, maybe I just wasn't in the mood for epic fantasy (weird I know). I started reading Furthermore instead and it's great so far !

[@readsandeats2263]

Great tag. Enjoy the build up to Christmas

[@jaceyjayceereads3406]

I'm so happy you loved Illuminae!

[@adelina5741]

Omg yes read the way of kings SO GOOD

[@esse318]

brandon sanderson books are sooooo gd! they are huge but i cant stop once i have started reading. the way of kings is epic so u should read it asap!!! ^.^

[@myribstellmesheslying]

Raegan, just start with the way of kings already. It's so good.

[@haomengotutuzui]

I've heard not really great things about Illuminae lately, well mixed up reviews really. but i might pick it sometime after all

[@sofija7259]

Thanks for the shoutout for south of the equator !

[@LaCheity]

OMG How could you own a copy of The Way of Kings and not read it?!?!?!?!?!? When I read it for the first time I could NOT put it down. I finished it in less than a week (It was summer, so I could spend the entire day reading!). Seriously, The Stormlight Archive is something else entirely. Best fantasy series I've ever read.

[@LesReadBooks]

I'm reading The Book Thief right now! Ha. :)

[@DontHaveaDegreeinReading]

Leslie Ring I just finished it earlier this week. How are you liking it?

[@erinmariecece]

I agree with you about HP&TCC, I felt there was much in that book I didn't particularly like.

[@chloeniedzielski7576]

AHHHHH!!! Absolutely love it!❤️

[@ketowithbecca7330]

AH such a fun tag I LOVE WINTER!!!! I really need to make this tag myself, such great questions!

[@lumal06]

Don't forget to read The Fate of the Tearling!

[@shubhraagarwal9250]

illuminae is on my tbr

[@dnovess]

you like Sanderson you should read the Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan . Sanderson had to finish it do to Jordan's death before he could finish it

[@penelope1229]

you look extra beautyfull at your last videos!!

[@DontHaveaDegreeinReading]

I read Mistborn (which I loved) and The Book Thief (which sadly I just liked)for Tome Topple. I think my expectations were too high. I think once I reread it I will love it. Also, I recommend rereading The Cursed Child. I didn't like it at all and recorded a scathing video on it. I reread it for a rereadathon (challenge was to give a book another chance) and I actually enjoyed it. Don't get me wrong, it is a hot mess and is an embarrassment to the original series, but I can now at least appreciate what they were trying to do.

[@lunagoodbooks]

I have been avoiding reading Cursed Child because I believe this would be my opinion as well :/

[@HylianDreamer]

If you start reading "The Way of Kings" could you let us know? I've been meaning to read it for ages as well, so maybe it will motivate me!

[@annahimelstein7366]

hey! where do you find the UK editions of books??? i can't find them online :(((

[@devonmunn5728]

I also just read Illuminae, I liked it, but I didn't love it, and ironically I'm also reading Gemina

[@allisonharlin1751]

Have you read the way of kings

[@beenegarage7116]

Another lovely video!

[@Bookishbroccoli1]

Yay! New video!

[@MicheleShawAuthor]

Great video, stay warm, while we here in Australia try to stay cool :P

[@MissAbbyPangilinan]

Hahaha your lipstick is a bit smudged and i cant stop looking at it 😂

[@lenniejoaquin7091]

Is it bad not being able to read physical books? Ive been reading alot of atories on Wattpad and i enjoy it much more then physical books...Should i be worried? I plan on buying books thats my taste. Because rn my bookshelves are filled with books that im not in the mood to read😯 Btw...love the video! Cute freckles too!

[@nicole38568]

i can relate. Not only is it free, but its fun to read.

[@lenniejoaquin7091]

nicole d Yeah! i noticed the stories are always straight to the point

[@bibliophilogy]

Imagination_len true though! Some of the published books are draggy because they NEEDA hit a certain word count :/

[@hotpriestess]

wow the quality tho

[@Yvolyo]

Am I the only person that tries to guess what book the person is going to choose for each question?...

[@AlexandraDevotion187]

Do you feel like Harry Potter and The Cursed Child kind of ruined the story..like it was a closure that we didn't need because the original one was better?

[@thebraxtonater8466]

im writeing a book feel free to read once finished and edited feel free to read it (it is on createspace and amozon once finished)

[@romina954]

hi!

[@isabellamarin161]

Yo i think we need a new background 😂

[@corey5914]

SO EARLY

[@AwakingOceanborn]

99% of my answers would be: Harry Potter. I am original. I KNOW

[@dave30115]

can i have your 'book thief':D ?

[@fa3ryg1rl1]

I think you look beautiful but I'm more concerned with your book reviews and book talk than if your makeup is perfect. while I can understand people mentioning it because you are in front of a camera, I don't think you need to look "perfect" to do book videos. life is not perfect, it's imperfect. I think you look great and I love your intelligent commentary.

[@jessicadillon8690]

Babes, just a comment trying not to hate, fix your lipstick before you start a video xXx

[@PeruseProject]

Lipstick is hard and HD is strong OK. But lol yeah

[@hello79712]

please fix your attitude before commenting

[@SGMaryCarmen]

I know this might be uncalled for so you can ignore it if you want! but I really like your videos and your channel, but I want to give you a little tip for the lipstick thing, I know it's hard and that the camera stands out a lot of things, and particularly red lipstick is really tricky, but maybe trying lining them first would help, I know this is not a beauty channel so the makeup here doesn't really matter, but just in case you want to try it! Line your lips as a whole, this is hard because the corners of the lips are so thin and delicate, but you can try filling them as to connect the lower lip and the upper lip with that, I think doing just that and then applying your lipstick would make it look better. This turned into a long comment lol, great video!

[@DontHaveaDegreeinReading]

Maria del Carmen Sequera Guarache I have this problem as well. thanks for the tip!

[@saaffi1]

I know its not a beauty channel, but if you want to wear makeup, please look yourself in the mirror before filming? :-) your eyeliner + mascara is almost always smudged, and when you wear lipstick, it is uneven. Just some tips to look a little better on camera :-)
