BOOKS I NEED TO READ BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR

[@1U7S7A6]

I envy anyone who can read more than one book at a time!! I have tried but with my ADD I simply can’t remember one of them if I’m reading two. More than 2 books I haven’t even tried! Loved the video!

[@camillewise]

"Could a book flex anymore than this?" Iconic quote right there, and no, a book could not😂

[@ChiBeReading]

“I have no idea why I haven’t finished this book yet.” I felt that, got books currently reading since 2019 haha

[@DanaDays]

Oof. I did not read at ALL in 2019. But I feel like this will be me in the future hehehe

[@sophiashelley1111]

Your sweater is amazing!! You look so good in cobalt blue!!!😍

[@MLLatUtube]

I loved The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue - hope you were able to finish it and that you loved it too

[@liatnasma915]

Omg skyhunter looks sooo beautiful. Added to tbr.

[@jeremyfee]

Great video. So many interesting books and I love your enthusiasm! Good luck with the reading. I just got To Sleep in a Sea of Stars in the mail. I'm looking forward to it.

[@hungergames2424]

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars was fantastic!!! I loved unraveling the plot, I knew next to nothing about the book before I read it and was extremely impressed! Definitely recommend! 🚀⭐🌙

[@TrueBlueGeek]

I bought The Gilded Wolves after you mentioned it previously and it was absolutely fantastic, so I shall have to grab Sliver Serpents. Your videos are amazing and your recommendations are gold. Love From Your UK Fan

[@thisstoryaintover]

I'm so glad to hear that!! 💗💗

[@AnniesBookNook]

Addie Larue is on my TBR for this year as well, my library hold just came in on it and I’m excited to read it! Hope it lives up to the hype lol

[@katiewright3309]

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is the book my friends and I chose for our book club. Super excited to read it.

[@juliagomez6768]

I just discovered you and I really like your videos 😊💞 Love from Spain 🥺💞💞

[@KLC228]

Congratulations on 40k, here's to another 40k more🥂🥂Skyhunter is gorgeous holy cow! Good luck getting to these

[@readerssea]

I loved Blood & Honey. I am currently reading Addie LaRue, and enjoying it so far but i’m not too far into it yet!

[@nakumartay]

I really enjoyed The Midnight Lie! It's not a perfect book but I still thought it was really interesting and surprising. And the romance is great! I was really upset the sequel isn't out yet

[@abbymcgrath6998]

you should make an amazon storefront-type thing! i would love to just walk into a bookstore with all of your recommendations haha. love your vids!

[@clareseymour6227]

And again I need to read all of these!😍 I’m so excited about more Marie Lu! And I’m doing the savoring thing with The Gilded Wolves- I’m beyond excited to read it and know I’m going to love it because it sounds like the absolute perfect book for me and I will read it before the year ends!💚

[@sumitraspov]

I am soo intimated by to sleep in a sea of stars but want to read it soon as well. Knowing myself I probably won't read it this year.

[@emilymay9542]

I understand the having a book on your "currently reading" list for a few years. I have been trying to read a certain book since 2017. It is not even that it is a bad book, I just keep getting side tracked by other books.

[@caeliamoulton7346]

i LOVE LOVE LOVED the silvered serpents!

[@Lyricallys]

I read To Sleep in a Sea of Stars the week it came out because I LOVE Paolini and Eragon as well. It was just jaw-droppingly wonderful. It was such an easy read despite the complexity of the world and the plot. The plot is great. The characters and intriguing. The world is breathtaking. Overall 10/10 definitely recommend to anyone who loves Paolini's writing like I do.

[@thisstoryaintover]

This is so promising!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts 💗💗

[@emulexe]

skyhunter was my first marie lu book, and i personally really loved it! the plot is kinda generic, but the characters oh. my. GOD. they have my heart. just bought legend and i am SO EXCITED to start it

[@frkPalmer460]

A deadly education is one of my favorite books readthis year! Such a different book and POV!

[@jewelled_]

Oh, Silvered Serpents will definitely destroy you, especially the ending. I really want to read A Darker Shade of Magic and Kingdom of The Back before the end of the year, but I won't be surprised if I end up rereading a bunch of faves😂 Love from a fellow South Asian 🇳🇵💙

[@thecoolpineapple93]

I'm also looking forward to read skyhunter before the year ends, without counting the 12 more books in my TBR...😆

[@ReadByTiffany]

love this list!! i really need to finish super fake love song and skyhunter before the end of the year 🙈💖

[@juliaisagoodwitch]

This video made me excited to go through all the books on my tbr that I want to read before the end of the year 😀

[@ishanvi608]

I just finished blood and honey today and I can't wait to hear your views on how this one ends eee !!

[@psychedandlit]

I will continue to shout to the moon: a beautifully foolish endeavor is amazing! The ending was satisfying. Hope to see a vid on this one!

[@ameliay1940]

youre such an underrated booktuber!! I love your videos

[@mel-pc8yh]

You will definately love The silvered serpents, it is a great book!!! the ending is so surprising

[@lyragillespie3511]

Just finished The Silvered Serpents. Still haven't recovered from the shock (of the best kind. book hangover, i guess?) 😻

[@DanaDays]

Ooh yes "A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor"! My friend lent me his signed copy right after he finished it in two days but... it's just been getting pushed back and back... O.o whoops! Oooh! I just finished Vicious by V.E. Schwab and thought it was AMAZING! Definitely interested in that series!! How were the first two books?

[@teresarosereads]

I’m so hyped to read To Sleep in a Sea of Stars!!!

[@slugabed7]

Oooh, you can't go wrong with A Secret History :)

[@caitlyn.m.t9618]

I have read The Lives of Saints and I absolutely loved it. I got through it within a day and I read it when it got to my house I am currently reading...a lot of books but one of them is A Deadly Education and I must admit I am not enjoying it. I like the characters and I like the school, but the way it is written is just irritating me and making it really hard to actually enjoy it. The writing style is one of the make it or break it things for me so it is really impacting how I view the book. There are some books I want to read by the end of the year, such as A gathering of Shadows. But one I particularly want to read is Looking Glass by Christina Henry which is the third instalment in the Chronicles of Alice which is a retelling collection I really enjoy. It came out earlier this year. The author has released another book since then and I still have not read it and I have no excuse why.

[@violeta3321]

The midnight lie and to sleep in the sea of sea books you say another I can't remember it. You are inspired me to read more books thank you for that

[@trinforeman54]

I 100% recommend To Sleep in a Sea of Stars in audiobook! It is fantastic and can help you push to your goal.

[@thisstoryaintover]

Ooo I'll have to check that out!! Thanks for the rec 💗

[@RedMaple02]

OMG i finally read Warcross and it's so good. I remember you recommending it on your channel a lot and i finally pick it. Your recommendations never disappoint.

[@thisstoryaintover]

YAS so glad to hear you enjoyed it!!

[@kriti0_0]

I LOVE your videos!!!! And you’re the reason I have read more than 30 books this year😂😍

[@georgehumphrey1826]

Before the end of the year, I plan to finish Mistborn First era trilogy and hopefully finish the First Law trilogy. Starting in December around my birthday, I'm doing a buddy read on Dune. Depending on how fast we get through it, we might start LOTR or The Foundation trilogy.

[@francescakyanda9182]

Ohhhh I need you to finish A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor because you did a review for the first book and I would LOVE a review vid for this one

[@thisstoryaintover]

AH YES I WOULD LOVE TO!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Ooo yes, I need to read Blood & honey too 🙃

[@louisity]

I still have yet to read a book by Christopher Paolini, which means I haven't read Eragon yet. 😅 I am looking forward to read Let It Snow John Green, Lauren Myracle, and Maureen Johnson which is our BOTM for December 2020 for my book club (which I also host with Ray Reads PH). ❄️

[@legendaryreader39]

I love Leigh Bardugo's writing. I have yet to read anything by David Yoon, but I want to. I'm sure I'll get around to it eventually. Haha. Great video, good luck with your TBR, and I hope you end up enjoying them all.

[@DelFeeny]

I completely agree with you on A Gathering of Shadows: it mostly puts aside the main plot, and it can be boring if the magic competition leaves you cold. It felt like a filler book to me. But A Conjuring of Light focuses back on the main plot and doesn't stop, so it should be a faster read.

[@Amanda-qt6lc]

The only one from your list that I've read is skyhunter. I loved it 4.5 stars.

[@islagrace9179]

Why the heck am I missing I many booktube notifications Love your videos ❤️

[@faerychains8951]

Get her to 50k! 💕💕

[@heyimsasa]

hey jananie! i don't remember if i ever commented on one of your videos before, but i believe i found you through mika. i kinda subscribed and then never did anything because the california fires hit and we had to evacuate. shortly after that, i got a puppy that needed (and still needs) rehabilitating and intense training so that's what i've been doing >_< i'm so sorry i kinda subbed and ran, but i promise i can be at least a little more active by watching your content on the tv and upvoting at the very least if i can't get on my ipad ☺️ i hope you've been doing well and this is a great video! i haven't read any of these books/authors, but a lot of these are on my tbr. hopefully i can get around to it eventually when life stops being so wild LMAO anyway, sorry this is so long and thank you so much for the bookish content!

[@TheBookishMom]

I just finished Addie LaRue and thought it was fantastic! I absolutely loved it and I hope you end up loving it as well. I also read the whole Darker Shade of Magic series haha I spent ALL of October reading nothing but VE Schwab so that was quite the experience.

[@thisstoryaintover]

That sounds like a GREAT month 😊

[@TheBookishMom]

@@thisstoryaintover it definitely was! She has moved into tjr favorite authors category for sure

[@sofiastj]

The Secret History is one of my fave books! I really was let down by A Deadly Education though, sadly. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on them.

[@catherinebruno1689]

I was disappointed by Blood & Honey and DNF’d it. I may pick it up later and try again at some point, but right now it’s only on my shelf because the cover is gorgeous.

[@shyammotwani2567]

Jananie, you forgot about A Sky Beyond The Storm! Also, are you excited for the new Cruel Prince novella? Loved the video as usual!

[@thisstoryaintover]

I KNOW! I realized just this morning 🙃 and yes excited about the novella though not sure if I'll get to it before the end of the year!

[@reyamahajan9654]

Beautiful is amazing! 😍

[@nazaanees7240]

Great books. Really excited for invisible life of Addie Larue and Deadly education. Something I want to ask you- which did you like better? Five feet apart or fault in our stars? I liked five feet apart although fault in our stars is more hyped.

[@ewonderland8161]

Why is it that the amount of books you want to read before the end of the year is more than what I’ve read for the entire year lmao. (I’ve pretty much given up since it’s like 2 months left of 2020)

[@Emily-bk7ic]

How did you get into publishing? What did you take in college to get there? Love this video Btw!♥️

[@rachida6732]

Have you read the children of blood and bone series ?

[@thesukhe]

Love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@queerpoetssociety_]

I'm from India too! Sending lots of love, Jananie!

[@adrianakoehn8047]

You should read the and I darken series

[@fikratdouk6675]

Christopher Paulini latest book will turn to a movie I'm excited to read his novel 😘

[@aliciaguzman]

I'm so excited to pick up To Sleep in a Sea of Stars !!!!!!!

[@lauranichols5962]

Love your videos ❤️

[@zachariahthesentimental2207]

To sleep in a sea of stars is fantastic

[@carlazaragoza1743]

Out of curiosity.. How many books do you read a month? I am constantly challenging myself to read more but sometimes I struggle and it takes me at least 6 weeks to finish a novel. How do you do it? I love your book choices by the way! :)

[@annemontgomery3890]

Have you tried picking a weekend to finish a certain book you're struggling with, and to make it into a theme weekend? I did that for It, and for Dune, and I'd buy some food that would go with the book (loosely inspired), and then find a book that has smt to do with it, etc. That's how I can read larger books fast, and it motivates me to sit down and read for multiple hours a day

[@JordanThatblondegirl]

ABFE is a bit of a brick and is a little complicated, so I think I would’ve taken me a long time to get through it if I hadn’t read it for the Reading Rush (I don’t recommend that, though). I’m hoping to read the rest of the Vampire Academy series, the Gemma Doyle series, and All the Bright Places. Will that happen with my current schedule remains to be seen.

[@DanaDays]

oop... I did NOT like Frankly in Love hehehe. Need to make a video about that soon... Especially cuz I need to return it to the library like... yesterday hehe

[@jennifer4312]

Blood&Honey was slightly disappointing because nothing necessarily happened, it was more of a connecting book to the final or second to last book

[@thisstoryaintover]

Hmm good to know! Thanks!

[@akashas6012]

can you hold the book still when you feature them in the video.

[@anushkasharma7088]

Does anyone know how to transfer ebooks from google drive to your kindle paperwhite?

[@bookishdelights9790]

💜

[@SBrown-og3nr]

I'm just going to say...I was so, so disappointed in Blood and Honey. I wanted to love it and I loved Serpent and Dove, and B&H was just meh for me.

[@hinatastrong]

💙

[@wanderingshiiip]

💕

[@megansohar2881]

The only things I've heard over and over about a Deadly Education is that it has racism issues (suggests locs are gross and dirty) and that it's kind of boring.

[@blueskullzgaming1658]

Could you timestamps your videos or add in your description the name of each book you showed. Also could you not talk as fast.
