FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2020!!

[@carolinabazani4292]

time to play the good old game of " Will I or will I not buy all the books mentioned in this video? "

[@PetrikLeo]

So pleased to see how much you loved Robin Hobb's books, Regan. I thought Liveship Traders would've become Hobb's best series, but that changed when I read the last trilogy in the Realm of the Elderlings... Take your time, and I'm sure you'll love it when you get to it!

[@laurenlebouvier9838]

Reagan you do SUCH a good job explaining and illustrating what books are about!! Love your videos 💛💛 thanks for adding to my neverending TBR lmao

[@meghan22]

I can honestly say, all of your fantasy recommendations I fall in love with. Can't wait to read some of these!

[@animeluver45]

I love listening to the enthusiasm in your voice as you talk about the books you love. Assassin's Apprentice definitely sounds really good and definitely will check it out soon!

[@rebeccawhaley1312]

I loved Gideon the ninth! So good! I need to get started on Harrow the ninth.

[@WhitneyChantalle]

Bought the Farseer & Liveship series because of you this year but have been scared to start my high fantasy journey! My bf is obsessed with these books!

[@WhimsicalFamilyLife]

Thanks for another great list! I literally started the Empire of Gold last night & was immediately hooked again! The entire trilogy is one of the "book splurges" I gave myself for Christmas. Another one of my favorites that I found because of you, thank you! Happy Holidays!

[@JnikaJ]

I just discovered your channel this year- thank you for your consistency and your recommendations. Your work ethic with your 9-5, your channel, and your reading plus having time to have a relationship is really inspiring. Thank you. My top 3 books I read this year are all SCI fi. The three body problem Children of time Recursion All 5 stars and all absolutely incredible!

[@louisa1878]

My book case is full of your recommendations, I’m not kidding, I have hundreds of books that You have recommended!, if you tell me to read it, I read it and usually love it. Robin Hobbs has been my writer for years, I’m so glad you love her!

[@anniecochrane3359]

Robin Hobb is right up there for me also - Everything she writes is perfect

[@katiepatterson7292]

I want to read ALL of these!! I love the way you describe books. You give just enough information to completely hook me. My tbr is out of control but I’m not mad about it. Lol

[@FaeryLaume]

Your top ten are a lot more than ten books! I want to read them all! I have already read and loved Foundryside and Shorefall, The City We Became, and Middlegame. I gave them all two thumbs up. I've also read the The Assassin's Apprentice but it was so long ago I'd have to reread it before reading the rest of that trilogy.

[@nataliastornello]

2020 was such a great reading year for me, as well! Quarantine really re-sparked my love for reading!

[@melissam6379]

I love your videos!! So informative and such great reviews.

[@rosapartee8678]

Regan's suggestions r so influential with my TBR's content...and Poppy War...sooo good

[@christinacampbellbooks]

Definitely want to read The City We Became this year. It sounds absolutely wonderful. What a unique premise.

[@mansi3420]

Ahh.. I feel like picking up all of these.. I can’t decide.

[@kater5199]

I just finished Middlegame and loved it! Definitely a complex story but I was so satisfied with the ending. Thanks so much for the recommendation and continuous reading inspo! ❤️

[@AnniesBookNook]

SO many great books here... Jade City, Gideon the Ninth, and Poppy War are still on my TBR. One of my favorites from this year was Midnight Library by Matt Haig!

[@bry4212]

I got Jade City and Jade War for Christmas, excited to dive into it!

[@Morfeusm]

Just reading Jade War and 💚💚💚

[@Tmg-04]

I’m so happy you loved Liveship trader it’s my personal favorite of all her books too I’m on the last part now

Blah blah blah books .I love it . She rarely picks a dull one .

[@HollyByGollyBooks]

After watching everyone's favorites of 2020 today and I NEEEEEED to get Legendborn!!! Seeing everyone talk about how incredible it is has me so hyped!! I keep going back and forth on if I want to read Jade City or not hahahah

[@CloTricots]

I'm new to the booktube side of this platform , coming from the knitting side and I just have to say that while I was listening I kept wondering if you made your sweater yourself or if there is a knitter in your life who loves you very much, cause it is gorgeous!

[@mimenino9549]

Over the years you gave me the best recommendations ❤️. Can't wait to try more!

[@anastasiaradzievska6847]

[@dianajohns4180]

You made every single one of those books sound amazing. Where do I even start!

[@lalitalalita1985]

They all went onto my wishlist and TBR

[@EleanorNicBhatair]

I loved Middlegame so much!! I can't wait for the sequel and see where they go with it 😍

[@alyssashaffer7321]

One of my fav book series that I read this year was the Grim and Blackthorn novels: Dreamer’s Pool (book 1), Tower of Thorns (book 2), and Den of Wolves (book 3) by Juliet Marillier. They were fantastic magical books about revenge, redemption and solving mysterious problems that arose anew during each book, I highly recommend them.

[@cefwyn7878]

I read them this year too and thoroughly enjoyed them! Looking forward to reading the books about their children.

[@emmakat5344]

I love everything by Juliet Marillier, she's definitely one of those fantasy authors who doesn't get enough hype!!

[@skye1767]

Love your list--I would not have read the Poppy War trilogy if it weren't for your rec, and I am SO glad I did--currently finishing The Burning God. Thank you! A series that blew me away was Kate Forsyth's The Witches of Eileanan. Started slowly but I binge-read it and it was amazing amazing amazing. I listened to the Audible and loved the Scottish accents. Might be something I revisit every year.

[@whatindiaread]

The Poppy War was one of my top 10 books of 2020 but I STILL haven’t gotten round to the sequels and it’s KILLING me 😂

[@rhi1574]

Yay legendborn was my fave of the year! Also adored from blood and ash & woven in moonlight💕

Don't sweat it . You enjoyed the two books you read and that's what counts . Come to think of it I can't keep up with Regan either .

[@skclemens]

Thanks for the recommendations. I think I have about half of those already on a tbr list.

[@rojas7yahoo]

Very interesting video, you make very interesting ones. Kudos and hope for your continued success!

[@sarah0315-]

I’m not into fantasy but I read a few chapters of mad ship and I can tell how people that love fantasy would really love that series. Very good writing style and easy to follow

[@Amanda-qt6lc]

I've only read legendborn from your list. And loved it! I read city of brass and the kingdom of copper. I have a couple weeks to wait to get the third book from the library. I want to read the poppy war so bad!

I also really loved the City We Became. I am very excited for the sequel because I just need to know what happens next.

[@Hannah_Lynch]

Not sure if anyone has already commented this (sorry if they have!) but there is a sequel to Middlegame! It’s call Seasonal Fears, I think, and it’s set to come out in 2022! 😍

[@booksattack]

really needed this video today!! 😭💟💟 it made me feel happy immediately. also, i've been wondering whether to start "ship of magic" soon and this video is enough to convince me that i should pick it up as soon as i can.

[@maliatfirst9]

Definitely knew Liveship and Jade city will be on the list. Hey what about that book about witches? It was in one of your reading vlogs. Anyway Happy holidays!!

[@rananajjar]

oh yeah! more good books to add to my ever growing TBR list 😊💗

[@TheSelkie1990]

The only book I've read on this list is, The City We Became. I just finished listening to it this week and LOVED IT! I am originally from Queens so, I got very nostalgic about NYC. I like things about my home city. :) Oh, I did read Jade City and got the second one for Christmas so I can continue now! Yay!

[@pengloriousunicorn7971]

Hello! Just so you know, I finished a series called the medoran chronicles. It’s my favourite series I have ever read and I highly recommend reading the series.

[@jeremyweitendorf6723]

My top 4 (no order except the first): Here Comes the Sun by Nicole Dennis-Benn Foe by Iain Reid I’m Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid The Danish Girl by David Ebershoff (I’m currently reading This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel, and I’m pretty sure this is going to be a favorite as well.)

[@miataylor3872]

I’m reading Nine Perfect Strangers so so good it has amazing Characters and plot I also want to pick up jade city

[@aliaswired]

The Daevabad Trilogy is also my best books of the year! Checked all the boxes for me, I just loved it. Also on my list is the Shadow of the Fox trilogy. In the best ways the first book reminded me of how I feel when I read the Hobbit, and the third book is the perfect conclusion to a grand adventure. It doesn’t have holistic character depth my all time favorites have, but I adored this series.

[@trickytitle1228]

I have been waiting for this from the moment u mentioned that u r done shooting!

[@fabalfaqih]

i kinda predicted most of your top ten, but i still gasped when you announced each book/series just for fun 😂😅

[@thesuninwinter]

Would love a video for favourite books from the past decade!

[@NekoNya12]

Queens Of Renthia was my all time fav this year :)

[@siiannielau1578]

Your sweaterrrrrrrrrrrrrrr looks sooooo cosyyyy

[@candyappletreat]

Nice sweater 😊🌲 Merry Christmas

[@hopestarr9869]

My favorite series this year was The Mirror Visitor by Christelle Dabos. It's a YA (maybe New Adult though?) fantasy series with 3 of the 4 books out in English (originally French) and it's hard to even explain what captivates me about it. It's definitely a character driven story that's not for everyone, and book 3 changes its setting making it, again, not for everyone. But like, the main character Ophelia is literally me, and that is sooo rare for me in any sort of media, I always end up contemplating myself and how I act/am perceived when I read this series. If you make it through the first book and don't absolutely love it then I wouldn't continue on since even if you like book 2, you have to love Ophelia to really enjoy book 3 I feel.

[@barbiestargirl1700]

"The Keeper of the lost cities" is my favorite read of 2020💖💖💖

[@v.dargain1678]

My favorite read of 2020 was tge Virginian by Owen Wester , a classic western tale .

[@maudhaugland5822]

I didn't love Assassin's Apprentice, but you have given me hope that I might enjoy the rest of the books more! Hopefully I'll read them in 2021. My favorite books of 2020 were The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern, The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman and Normal People by Sally Rooney ✨

[@awizardintraining]

The Tawny Man trilogy is so good. I really enjoyed the Liveship Traders series. Althea is one of the best female characters ever. I just didn't like when they switched to the Rivers Wild stuff, even though a dragon was involved. Middlegame was such a pleasant surprise. I think I heard she was going to write another book

[@alyssacascos8665]

I still need to read The Poppy War! I am nervous but I have only heard great things about it.

My favorites in 2020 were The Hiding Place, 1984, and Twisted Tale: Conceal Don't Feel!!

[@MsSusyque]

And it's because of YOU that I read "Foundryside" and started "City of Brass", with every intention of picking up "Jade City" and "Poppy Wars". My shelving space and bank account do not appreciate this development in the slightest. Cheers for a wonderful 2021!! (shelves and bank account be damned!)
