Young Adult to Adult | Book Recommendations

[@CharleyReadsBookTube]

This has convinced me beyond anything to read The Handmaids Tale like...asap! This video is such a good idea too, both the YA and Adult categories are so vast its easy to get overwhelmed, direct comparison recs make it so much more accessible...go you girl!

[@AdirondackRuby]

Charley Reads And she convinced me of the reverse, as I have already read The Handmaid's Tale. Only Ever Yours has been kind of floating on the edges and I was thinking about it, but now I definitely want to read it.

[@vbgcfan]

Hahah love the ending. This video is great, I am often tempted by the YA books recommended in booktube because the plot seems interesting, but then if I read them I get frustrated by the writing style or by an annoying young character who is more worried about his crush/love/looks/whatever than about what is really important, so I am definitely intetested in the 'adult version' of any YA book with a good plot.

[@AthenaMatisseLit]

Aina I very occasionally see a YA book that interests me and this is always the case!

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

I read both young adult and adult (although mostly YA) and I'm so excited that these videos are going to be a series. It'll help me expand my reading

[@DeutscheNovella1]

I love the idea behind this video! I love seeing someone try to bridge the gap between YA and adult literature. I hate it when people act like you can only enjoy one or the other. There are some fantastic books in both categories.

[@LilyCReads10]

Only ever yours sounds so interesting!! i really want to read it. it sounds like it will be very eye-opening.

[@musicgirl999]

You sound like Merida from Brave!

[@jenbates9205]

Great idea for a video! I read mostly adult lit but as a lot of people on booktube only discuss YA, it's good to get some recommendations, also with comparisons to books I'm very familiar with from hearing them talked about a lot. Jen 😀

[@jessiealice07]

Love this idea for a video! Will check out we were liars as I loved the secret history.

[@cassbard6832]

This was great! I predominantly read adult fiction but I watch a lot of YA Booktubers even though I rarely read the books they are reading. You definitely made me want to give Eragon a try! :) Please make more of these videos!

[@PenelopesPicks]

I've been planning to film the same type of video and had also thought of We Were Liars and The Secret History as a match! While I didn't particularly enjoy We Were Liars, there are far too many similarities between it and The Secret History to be ignored. Fantastic video! :)

[@izziegreen9635]

you're the first book tuber I've watched that discusses a really wide range of fiction, which I absolutely love! I read a lot more adult because I feel some YA can be quite predictable and often I dislike the writing style but all the books you've recommended here are/sound so interesting. I love your reviews :-)

[@picketfenced5771]

PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE VIDEOS! i love these kind of recommendations and i am so excited to read all of them:)

[@januschkav3006]

This is such a great idea! I'll definitely be picking some of these up, especially The Dragon Keeper. I've been wanting to read something by Robin Hobb for ages, so this seems like a good place to start :)

[@k-m___]

I really loved this, and would really like another installment! It's such a great idea.

[@LeonelaEsteve]

I really liked this video! I'm mostly an adult books reader but I like to read YA once in a while so I'm totally in for more of this kind of videos. Only Ever Yours sounds extremely interesting! And I hope I get the chance to read The Secret History soon because it just sounds amazing.

[@nelevonlanthen4813]

I love your accent!

[@형광길만걷지훈]

Nele Vonlanthen same

[@autumnrosedearborn8923]

Nele Vonlanthen I do too! I'm American and I find Jeans accent so adorable and charming. Love her!

[@ZombieEatsBooks]

I have a hard time finding young adult books that I really love, so I think this is a great idea for recommendations. I loved some of the adult books you mentioned and have others on my to be read list, so I will definitely check some of the young adult books out. Thanks!

[@stephanievanriet]

This is a great idea for a series! Looking forward to more of these!

[@LaurenAndTheBooks]

Great idea for a video! Definitely do more of these please! I keep hearing wonderful things about Robin Hobb, must try some x

[@NonFicBooks]

I think this is a great idea for a series and cannot wait to see more of them.

[@franciskamartens5430]

This is such a great idea, Jean. I have to read The Handmaid's Tale soon, I've heard so many great things about it. I love both adult and young adult books as well and I loved your recommendations

[@JeansThoughts]

book martens Oh you do, it is fantastic! A real modern classic :).

[@xThisCityisatWarx]

I loved this! I really loved We Were Liars so I ill definitely need to check out the Secret History soon

[@theweightofbooks4262]

This is such a fantastic video idea!! I can't wait to see more of these on your channel.

[@misspuppet1000]

I stumbled across this video (because sometimes KZbin has awesome random suggestions) and I really loved your comparisons. I read both 'Only Ever Yours' and 'A Handmaid's Tale' and they're both so gripping and terrifying. I also read and adored 'Vivian verses the apocalypse' and I'll definitely be checking out 'Day of the Triffids'.

[@JeansThoughts]

+Miss Puppet thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it ^_^ I love when I find something new through KZbin recommendations! I hope you enjoy the day of the triffids - it's a really fascinating apocalyptic read!

[@eternalangel11]

I am so glad you are doing this series. Its a great idea :).

[@juliagoesfrugal]

I loved this! I am very interested in that Donna Tartt book now! :)

[@CharrFrears]

I LOVED this video! I actually guessed your recommendations from the YA book and have read/own all except Only Ever Yours. I'm reading The Secret History very soon too, so this is exciting!

[@JeansThoughts]

Charr Frears Ooh I hope you like it! It is so fantastic although strange :). You'll have to get on Only Ever Yours then ;P.

[@WildLadyBug30]

Ooooh I love watching those kind of videos!! It's really interesting since I love reading young adults and adults books! Thank you 😄

[@GabyClaireful]

Loved this video! Can't wait for the next one Also that is a really pretty edition of the Day of the Triphids, I might have to try and find a copy!

[@1MinuteQuizzes]

Loved this! This is such a great idea Jean. Thank you! x

[@RachaelReviewsAll]

This is such a good idea, I wish I had this when I was trying to read adult. I just ended up reading a lot of True Blood. The Handmaidens Tale and all of Robin Hobbs books has been on my TBR for ages. Intrigued by The Secret History, I've heard that Donna Tart is good though!

[@radiantchristina]

i read primarily adult books , but i do read the occasional YA and enjoy that as well. there is absolutely a lack of quality adult literature booktubers..i'd say 90% of the book tuber's out there are YA readers. Great video.

[@helenejeppesen2133]

This was a great video, and I agree with a lot of your similarities between the books. I'll be looking forward to the next videos in this series :)

[@k_a_r_]

Lovely video! I've read some of those books and I'm so excited to read the rest :) thank you

[@ChiikisTv]

I wish your videos never end, thanks for the recommendations 😊✨

[@s0methinglikeastar]

You're the second person to recommend me Robin Hobb! Sam from Novels and Nonsense loves those books loads; I'm going to have to move them to the top of my TBR :D I adore this series, it's such a clever idea!

[@indubitablyzara]

I've had The Secret History out from the library for a while and have been unsure whether I really wanted to read it or not, but by comparing it to We Were Liars you've just 100% convinced me to read it. :D

[@sweetautumnleaves]

Grear video! I'll have to check out some of those books! You have to make more like this! I love all of your videos but I'm always looking for something new to read.

[@abasketcaseyreads6567]

Great video!! I never hear as many recommendations for adult books as I do for young adult, but I love both genres, so this was VERY helpful. I would love more videos on it.

[@strangerinbooks1030]

I love the concept of this video! You should definitely do more videos like this one. Thanks for the recommendations :)

[@nokiddingbrainless]

This is such a great idea! I never know where to start with adult fiction and I definitely find it very intimidating. I would love to see more of these videos!

[@dondavis911]

Excellent choice of theme for the video.

[@AilsaVlogs]

I've read some of Robin Hobb's other books, but not that series. I really need to have a look at it, I LOVE stories with dragons in :-) I've got We Were Liars on my computer to read sometime, I'm quite interested in seeing what it's like.

[@wanderingbutnotlost9]

This is a great idea for a video series, I found it really useful and interesting :)

[@tesscotterill5088]

This is such a great idea, very useful for me! I'd love it if you could do more of these :)

[@ambivia]

I adore this video! You should definitely make more videos like these, recommending across 'genres' (audiences?), if you want to. ^^ I can't wait to get my hands on The Dragon Keeper and also the YA book you recommended to mirror The Handmaid's Tale. I hope I enjoy them -- they look really cool!

[@buggygarden52]

This is a great video! Been looking for more adult books. Thank you so much!

[@bethc217]

Great recommendations, got myself some adult and YA books to add to my TBR!

[@KalesKorner]

This was a great recommendation video! I can't wait to add these books to my TBR.

[@melodyd6859]

Loved this video! That's a really good idea, I am so looking forward for your next recommendations :)

[@OurBookishObssession]

This is a great kind of recommendations video. Love it!

[@SHINYreads]

Great vid idea! This is full of awesome books, but I've only read about 2/3 of them! Thanks!

[@GDCLA]

Loved this! Thanks for the recommendations!

[@ria9924]

Great choices. :-) I would be interested to see books on ancient history too. x

This is such a good idea for a video series! :D

[@amandapearl2books]

This is such a good idea! You could do this with any genre too. Like I'm a huge horror fan and I think that many people say they don't like horror. But I think they just haven't read the right one ;) This has given me some ideas!

[@kaeli7008]

I'm not sure I can handle another Handmaids Tale esque book because I was pretty livid about the original, but I enjoyed the suggestions as always!

[@safihamid1468]

Thank you so much for making this video, it's insanely useful.

[@karenkoutsoumbaris6308]

I love listening to your reviews, so thankyou

[@Keepinitreal55]

I listened to "we were liars" on audible, and was about to look into that book again and purchase it, until I realized I already listened to it a couple years ago -_- tells you how interesting the story was. I can't even remember what it was about anymore, I would pass on that one.

[@martastanley]

Loved the video, it's a great idea! I hope you do more like this one :)

[@mollystoddart7411]

This is such a great idea -- Love !!

[@oopinkiepieoo6793]

I love this idea! great choices!

[@GemTakesPhotos]

Please do more of these! :D

[@lojupitermoon]

All of these books sound so interesting! Want to read them all, thank you! :)

[@irenekristina_]

I really liked how you explained your books and their plots thoroughly. I wasn't bored but really interested. I think I'm gonna binge watch your book videos. Lol. Subscribing.

[@JeansThoughts]

+irenekristina _2002 aw thank you!

[@megsotto]

this was great and it's a really cool idea for a series!! i'd love to see more of these :)

[@ABitOfTashi]

I am going to have to read my copy of Secret History now that you have have paired it to We Were Liars I am intrigued to see how that will fold out ! :D

[@JeansThoughts]

ABitOfTashi I hope you enjoy it!

[@FictionalLadyElizabeth]

I loved the video I got a lot of new books to read. I love the series and would totally love another installment. I love your energy. Can't wait to see

[@JeansThoughts]

+Fictional Lady Glad to hear it, I've definitely been making notes for another one of these ^_^

[@Emma-fq9pv]

When you were describing only ever yours I thought "that sounds so similar to the handmaid's tale" 😂

[@JeansThoughts]

+Emma Ashcroft haha great minds ;)

[@danielleleal4184]

I loved this video! Please do more!!!

[@karenkoutsoumbaris6308]

Loved this review, thankyou , I always like your channel

[@DeeDeeCatMom]

I loved loved loved this video! I've read either the adult version, or the YA version. As for the apocalyptic novel, I have Day of the Triffids already, and must read it and Vivian vs the Apocalypse soon :) And Only Ever Yours is on my list since I love A Handmaid's Tale. On another note, have you read Villette? I've heard it's Charlotte Bronte's best but now largely forgotten novel.

[@iamerratic]

Robin Hobb is everything! This video was awesome, such a great idea!

[@pepperminstix7]

Really good recommendations! I'll have to pick up the ones I haven't read. =)

[@acaciairving]

Please make more this was fabulous I have read so much you like and love your recommendations

[@eastgapeach]

I loved this. I'm going to have to look for these books :)

[@AprendeConJuliaL]

This video is just amazing, now I am wiling to read all these books ❤️😊

[@ellygreen244]

I WANT YOUR COPY OF THE HANDMAIDS TALE!!!! Also I thought it was "vivvian apple at the end of the world"???

[@JeansThoughts]

I think the US and UK versions have different titles :)

[@Carmen-hh3cq]

Loved "We Were Liars"

[@eilidhmacleod9125]

Me too. It's honestly one of my favorites.

[@JustEssayIt]

Ooh I have to read Only Ever Yours since The Handmaid's Tale is one of my absolute favourites, and I love YA anyway :) Great recommendations!

[@JeansThoughts]

marlinelina Oh my god you do! I think you would like it :) just prepare to be sad.

[@bialouzada15]

[@milliedrew4613]

[@TheKniterin]

I love your copy of The Handmaid's Tale, it is beautiful

[@xeverydayisbeautiful]

This series is a great idea!!

[@heathermcculloch7224]

Great idea! I loved this video. Have you read The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta? It's post-apocalyptic and there's a rapture but' snot what people expect.

[@JeansThoughts]

Heather McCulloch No but thanks for the recommendation :) sounds intriguing!

[@MrGioGaga]

Very intrigued by The Secret History... Need to buy it soon :D
