I bought it off of how enthusiastically Hailey would talk about it in her videos.

My mom and I buddy read The Fountains of Silence a month ago. We loved it! Such a good story and also opened our minds to Spain’s history that we never really knew about. I would love to read Lovely War! Sounds fantastic!

It’s such a delight to have a video from you every single day❤️🥰

You have to read Out of the easy, too ❤ I really enjoyed it, even though it's pretty different from the rest of Ruta's books. I really love her writing

[@talithamenting788]

The song of achilles was definitely my favourite book of the year! It is so beautifully written. I can't describe how amazing it is😍

[@jyoung3956]

My favorite of the year was Happy Ever After Playlist. Thanks for your videos. You give great recommendations.

[@KatieReads]

Because of you I read Lovely War this year and absolutely loved it! I was never a fan of historical fiction but that book changed my mind!!

[@amandaf8561]

lovely war was probably my favorite read this year as well!!! sooo amazing

[@anna.skobeleva]

I have just finished reading One Day in December. Absolutely loved it! Thank you for recommending it, I wouldn’t have experienced this joy without your help!😍🥰

[@natalieseet5687]

I found out about Wolf by Wolf from your channel and it's literally my favorites of 2020 SO THANK YOU!!!! I love both books so much and can't wait to reread it!!

[@govindarajuluvenkatesan3529]

Yaaaaaas! Read King of Crows and absolutely loved it!

[@elizagrey5006]

Libba Bray came to my high school in 2013 right after The Diviner’s came out! I still haven’t read it (despite her signing my book), & I’ve always wanted to but the way you talked about the last book makes want to read every book in the Diviner’s series ❤️

[@staceyroach1233]

I read Wolf by wolf Duology because of your recommendations. I am not a huge historical fiction fan but it was SO good. I even got my husband to read them with me and he liked them a lot as well!

[@molsr4510]

Love your videos hailey! Have a lovely December 💗

[@traceypike889]

I listened to the audiobooks for Wolf by Wolf & Blood for Blood because of your videos...and I LOVED them! Thank you!

[@soumiliray1522]

Hailey's videos make me so happy!!

[@abbeyhill7706]

I feel like I’ve heard Hailey talk about wolf by wolf a few times so it’s always been in the back of my mind... but this time, I’m sold! Next on the TBR for sure, sounds so interesting🤓

[@smwood91]

New to BookTube and recognized you from BookStagram! Thank you for the recommendations! I can't wait to check out more of your videos! I'm currently trying to update my 2021 TBR and I am looking for some completed YA series to add to my list! I watched 2 of your past videos before ending up here but I got some interesting recommendations from this list!

[@jilltool7133]

I just finished a book you recommended Friday I think. The Chaos of Standing Still. OMG it was so, so, so good!

[@Intothesunset89]

So many books you mentioned are ones I’ve purchased during the year and have yet to read. I surprisingly did not read as much as I thought I would considering that I had so much time with lockdown. I should be finishing the Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell tonight but I would have to say it is ones of my favourites. The premise is practically made for me, time travel, magic and historical fiction.

[@juhinamaj]

saved a couple of titles from your list! I sadly haven't read much last year (it's already 2021!) due to school/work but now I've got a bit of a break before I officially start work so going to go on a 2 month long readathon haha. Wolf by wolf sounds amazing, adding it to my list.

[@sophiemay444]

so glad the black flamingo is on this list! i read it bc of you and it totally blew me away

[@zinebbz5805]

The video we've all been waiting for ! ❤

[@nazariahisaac2928]

And i read Felix Ever After and really liked it! I also recently acquired Cemetery Boys and I'ma try to read it before 2021, but like I'm rereading the Ember in the Ashes series so I'm all caught up for the finale so we shall seee😛

[@bringmejoy77]

Oh as soon as you were going to announce your favorite book of the year I already knew it was lovely war wooow! I started it but have not finished it yet!! I’ve heard nothing but amazing things.

[@katheriner37]

Really want to read The Fountains of Silence, thanks for sharing!

[@encyclopediaofelizabeth]

You are the reason I snatched up Blood for Blood when I saw it at my local bookstore so. Dying to find Wolf by Wolf and The Lovely War as well. I love how your sweater matched the cover of Lovely War too. 😁

[@SpandexTree]

Hey Hailey! Read Wolf by Wolf because of your recommendations and I finished it last night and loved it! Going to start Blood for Blood soon.

[@andresbecerra1183]

Hailey: I’m usually not a fan of enemies to lovers stories... Also Hailey: 3 enemies to lovers books on her top 12 of the year.

[@candacediana]

My favorite video of yours every year!

[@clareseymour6227]

Amazing list! I cannot wait to read these books, especially all of the historical fictions! You have definitely sold me on The Fountains of Silence, Lovely War, and Wolf by Wolf! Currently my favorite read of the year is the entire Renegades trilogy by Marissa Meyer with The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo as a close second! Other favorites this year for me are The Underground Railroad, All the Light We Cannot See, The Raven Cycle, Just Mercy, Daughter of Smoke and Bone & Days of Blood and Starlight, Americanah, The Astonishing Color of After, and This Savage Song & Our Dark Duet!

Yay, I love your Favourites videos!! My favourite book I read this year was "The Pianist" by Wladyslaw Szpilman. I wasn't planning on finishing it in one sitting, but I just couldn't put it down. And I think everyone would benefit from reading it. The movie is also one of my favorites now.

[@thecartoongirl22]

OHHHH I totally called it!! I was like obviously The Lovely War is your fav. because of how many videos you gushes about it this year! My Favourite book was either The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo or Six of Crows!

[@missathepandabear]

You know, I was just going through all the books i've read this year and I honestly can't choose which one was my favourite! I think it's either One of Us is Next, Fangirl, Lord of Shadows, Good Girl Bad Blood, The Cousins or Pretending. These were all SO GOOD and I just honestly CANT CHOOSE

The Fountains of Silence was one of my favourite books of the year too! I have so many of these books on my tbr and I can’t wait to get to them. 😀

[@KeshetAylonit]

I know it isn’t most people’s cup of tea (or culture), plus it came out in the mid 90’s, but my favorite book of this year is Kaddish by Leon Wieseltier. It is such an informative journey of an essay, I have more Rabbi’s, Scholars, Teachers etc than vocab words, and I have learned so much. Absolutely a book I would recommend.

[@beksmae6962]

My guess is your #1 is Wolf by Wolf. I can’t choose my top book bc ya know but some of my favs where Goddess in the Machine, All the Stars and Teeth, the entire Green Creek series, The Unsuitable Heir, and Reverie.
