Top 10 Books I Want To Read In 2019!

[@LeahRummel]

I’m wanting to get to the Mistborn trilogy since I got it for Christmas! I haven’t read any Brandon Sanderson but you have made me definitely want to. Also hoping to pick up some VE Schwab!

[@TheFarahProject]

I definitely need to bump up my Sanderson reading and read more of his other works. I actually read the original Mistborn trilogy initially because I'd seen you raving about it, and I loved it! Now I need to get on the Cinda Williams Chima boat! Personally, I'd like to bump up my classics/modern classics reads that I tend to put off like Anna Karenina. Loved this video as always!

[@taraspupu5215]

You have to read the stormlight archive series by brandon sanderson!! It‘s sooo good😍

[@shahirshahar2233]

@@taraspupu5215 yeah. I finished book 2 and now waiting for book 3. So gooood. Book 2 is better than book 1. Keep getting better.

[@lionamax]

I get so excited when I see someone mentioning the Malazan Series! I've only read the first book, but I absolutely loved it, it's such a rich story! I'm sure you'll love it.

[@TheDailyMundane]

I SCREAMED WHEN YOU PULLED OUT THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO I hope it makes you cry as hard as I did :')

[@marylclayton92]

'A Gentleman in Moscow' was my first book of 2019 and I loved it! It's a really interesting side to Russian history that I know you love, so I hope you enjoy! 😊

[@georgieh7351]

I read Elantris late last year, and I loved it! Not quite as action packed as his other books, but the characterisation, the world-building, and the commentary on religion and power is so wonderful! I was surprised just how good it was considering it was his first novel. I hope you enjoy it too ☺️

[@animeteller333]

I swear every time I see those Brandon Sanderson UK covers I fall in love. Absolutely nothing wrong with the American covers, but the artistic theme, the aesthetic, I just can't help but 😍

[@ItsMe-ox8lm]

I am reading Elantris right now! You encouraged me to read something from Sanderson.

[@tatienouorest3358]

Same! started just a few hours ago :)

[@lifestartingnow]

My big book goals for this year are Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon and The Way of Kings series.

[@erinpeakovic1]

I'm really hoping to get to all the shadowhunter novels this year. I'm so behind🤦‍♀️

[@valeriefstewart]

Some books that I want to read this year that aren't new releases: -The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid (starting it right now actually) -I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara -Becoming by Michelle Obama -Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern -All of Neil Gaiman's books. Read Good Omens in 2017 and I still think about it and love his writing style

[@amandaabbey]

Yaaaas @ Deathcaster by Cinda Williams Chima. I’m so happy to FINALLY hear someone talking about it!!

[@readinginfinitely]

Omg the raven boys is SO GOOD! And I’ve been loving the seven realms series so far!

[@VelvetLibrary]

Mistborn is definitely on my list for this year! As well as potentially the Lightbringer series. I marathoned The Raven Cycle last year and it was definitely on of my favourite series of the year. You won't regret it!

[@amnahussain143]

We're reading pachinko in our book club this month! I'm enjoying it so far. Also reading the gentleman oh Moscow later in the year and very excited to read it as well, heard lots of great feedback from co-workers.

[@cevec99]

What a great list! I've now added a few more books to my TBR - I swear, this time of year with everyone's "best books" videos and "Books to read this year" videos, it just doubles my list haha! Also, really love your dress! Happy New Year everyone and Happy Reading!

[@ashleyfalconer3226]

Reagan, 2018 was my first year reading Brandon Sanderson. Elantris was the first book I picked up. It starts off slow to me but once I got halfway I was hooked. And the ending was great. The plot, characters, magic was interesting! Also read the first Mistborn book and it ended up being my favorite book of the year. 2019 I hope to finish Mistborn, Warbreaker, & Skyward. Stormlight Archive seems a bit intimidating. May save those books for 2020. :D

[@tatay619]

DUDE!!! Im on the Raven King at the moment and you ARE going to love it! I am such a huge fan of you and usually base my reading year with your recomendations so PLEASE finish it and REVIEWWWWW Love YOU!

[@Inmylibrary]

Deathcaster is my most anticipated book this year 💛

[@Mjmagicalmiles]

I’m reading A Gentleman in Moscow now and I’m loving it! It’s so good and I honestly wasn’t really expecting to, but I’m almost done and I’m hoping to finish it sometime today.

[@sophiabednar4009]

I‘m currently reading The Final Empire my first Sanderson book ever and it has been amazing so far, i cannot stop! Def want to read more of his books this year...!

[@theotherreader3964]

I'm actually currently rereading the first mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderdon in anticipation of reading the second trilogy. I'm falling in love with the characters all over again and having such a good time. Also really excited to explore more books by him 😊

[@lucindajennings148]

I'm also going to hopefully read Gardens of the Moon! And yes, read the Raven boys, love that series. Also, you've said in video's previous that you want to read more sci-fi so here are some recs Old Man's War - John Scalzi Remnants - K.A. Applegate Only You Can Save Mankind - Terry Pratchett Embers of War - Gareth Powell Cretaceous Sea - Will Hubbard

[@juliehester5626]

I bought the entire percy jackson series on sale during the holiday. Definitely excited to read them for the first time!

[@ObsessedWallflower]

Started reading Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo TODAY and boy oh boy, it’s a page turner. No idea why I’m so into it, but I’m completely hooked, hope you get to read it soon!

[@ChristyLou]

I've just started the Raven Boys! I've heard so much about it and it sound right up my alley~ Good luck with your reading this year!

[@crisblakeney]

Most of the books on my TBR are books that are absolutely loved by BookTube. Some of the books are loved by a few BookTubers and disliked by others...but the books I’m hoping to get to this year are V. E. Schwab’s books!! I’ve read her YA duology, and own her other series, but have never read them. This is the year to do it!!!

[@bookboop]

Do it! Just finished reading her shades of magic series. SO worth it!

[@ind1gnat1on]

I started off the New Year with Strange the Dreamer and I'm absolutely loving it. I'm about 130 pages from finishing it.

[@louloubellex9292]

So excited for you to read Gardens of the Moon!

[@sanjuktaguha131]

YOU ARE THE QUEEN OF FANTASY!!!

[@bteesparsen6037]

There are some great books on your TBR, thanks for the list of wonderful books, hopefully I can get some of them read in 2019.

[@exotictaleigha2127]

Renegades and The Raven Cycle also included on my list. 😍 I really want to start reading Brandon Sanderson books since you're sooo into it and i guess i should start with the Mistborn series. Hopefully i'll gonna get through it this year and enjoy it as much as you do. 😊

[@bookboop]

Yes to Renegades!!!!! One of my favorite series! Everytime I watch your videos I feel like I NEED to pick up some Branden Sanderson. I'll be reading the Illuminae files this month which I've heard so many good things about! (Also, love your blouse 😁)

[@elrilmoonweaver4723]

I have Gardens of the Moon planned too. But, I am still trying to accept the fact that Malazan Book of the Fallen series is gonna be a HUGE investment on my part. Other ppl who've read the books say it requires your undivided attention. Not sure if I want that kind of a commitment. Especially from a 10 book long series.

[@briannasbooks6057]

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo has moved very close to the top of my TBR now - how did I manage to escape all the hype until recently?! And I definitely want to get to the Raven Cycle books this year, too!

[@aayushs8128]

I love your videos so much. I try to watch one of your videos every week. Keep up the good work.

[@ilovechikuandgul]

Looks like a really good list! Currently in the middle of Vita Nostra by Sergey and Marina Dyachenko which gives me The Magicians by Lev Grossman vibes....hoping to get caught up with Stormlight Archive this year! Still on book one! 😊

[@xoHAUTEGLiTTERS]

Elantris is the only Sanderson I've read and I LOVED it.

[@ItMightBeSydney]

I definitely want to read some Brandon Sanderson this year as I haven't read any yet! Especially because I'll have an excuse to get those beautiful covers haha :) Also I can't wait for you to read Evelyn Hugo! Its INCREDIBLE

[@MariaMightReadThat]

Very excited to hear your thoughts on Malazan. I haven't read it myself but I've been curious about that series for a while. And I'm planning to finally get into Cinda Williams Chima this year!

[@MeSimoneI]

I read The Final Empire for the first time this month and why have I been sleeping on it??? It's amazing!! Can't wait for your reread :D

[@Shadowhuntedwizards]

The Raven Boys is on my list this year too! I’ve had the first one on my kindle forever and I’ve just never gotten to it. Also, The Book Thief. I have no excuse, I just need to read it. I would also like to finish the Pretty Little Liars series as I only have two books left and I will have read all 16. 🤓

[@kaitlyncryderman9449]

If you want to read all the Brandon Sanderson (a goal that I have too!) you should pick up the Wheel of Time series. It’s written by Robert Jordan but the last few books were finished by Sanderson because Jordan passed away.

[@joannecarnevale7737]

A Gentleman In Moscow was my favorite read of 2018. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was another 5-star book of last year. Hope you love them!

[@nisharangdal781]

if you can, would you consider making a video just about Brandon Sanderson books? Just like a list of Sanderson books and a short synopsis of each series. I think it would help a lot of people immensely :)

[@ZeeZeeDreaming]

I definitely want to read Elantris too this year - and then hopefully read more of Brandon Sanderson!

[@myteacherreads]

So glad you’re diversifying this year! I am looking forward to The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo too 😊

[@amn384]

I'm also trying to read more diversely. I love literary fiction and historical fiction, but mainly just read fantasy last year. I also have A Gentleman in Moscow and Pachinko on my TBR. As well as trying to read all of Sanderson's adult fantasy books since I know I'll love them. 💕

[@filipab0oks]

I loved Elantris ! Aww Mistborn was also my first Sanderson, I'm super craving a reread as well. The Seven Husbands yaaaaaaaas - totally worth the hype. Uhhh I have Steven Erikson on my physical tbr for a while as well. The Raven Boys was not my thing. I have only read The Demon King, absolutely loved it and then never continued with the series /slaps self in the face

[@readingrapunzel5092]

I was waiting for The Raven Boys; noticed it was missing right away! haha It's my favorite series and I hope you love it!

[@madalynkehrer1798]

I love Gardens of the Moon! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!

[@deadkeepteaching]

Malazan is easily one of the best series...it takes complexity to a new level..the editing in book 1 just makes it hard to understand every book after is more coherent.

[@thebookwormmum4642]

Side note: your dress is so cute and I also love those simple gold hoops! 😍

[@cassandraleblond6490]

GARDENS OF THE MOON!! I am 200 pages from finishing the 10th and last book in the series. It is a commitment but the characters are amazing, the battles are epic, and the complexity unmatched. I hope you enjoy!

[@annaj323]

I also really hope to get to Pachinko this year! It really seems like a book that I would enjoy. I also really want to get to Circe by Madeline Miller because I wasn't able to get to it in 2018, even though The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller is literally one of my favourite books of all time, which made Circe a highly anticipated release in 2018. I hope you'll get to The Raven Cycle, I adore that series. It's really unique and very friendship focussed, which I LOVE. Literally you just taking about the series in this video already made me crave a reread hehe.

[@searchanddiscover]

if you are willing to slog through wheel of time (which is more or less the length of the malazan series you are going to read) the last 3 books were written by sanderson because the original author passed away. I believe that is what really got him his start.

[@joerod2659]

Elantris was amazing! It was the book to that got me back into reading

[@writeandscribbles9680]

I’ve just started on Warbreaker ... loving it so far! Thanks for recommending Brandon Sanderson ☺️

[@quirinebrouwer]

I’m loving all these 2019 tbr videos, but my tbr pile can’t take it anymore haha (Pachinko was one of my favorite reads of 2018, I hope you’ll love it too!!)

[@michelledavis8879]

I am so PUMPED for Return of the Thief! I can't believe that series is ending

[@MegBookishRamblings]

I would like to try to read more Brandon Sanderson this year as well. Elantris was the first book I read by him and really enjoyed. My boyfriend bought me the first four books in Erikson's Malazan series and I always seem to get distracted though I am curious to read the books and hopefully this year will be the right time for me. Other books I'm hoping to get to are The Tethered Mage, The Book Thief, Seraphina by Rachel Hartman, more Mercedes Lackey, The Book Jumper by Mechthild Gläser, Provenance by Ann Leckie, In The Region of the Summer Stars by Stephen R. Lawhead, Sky In The Deep by Adrienne Young, Lord of Shadows and Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare, Voyage of the Basilisk by Marie Brennan, The Waking Fire by Anthony Ryan, Tempests and Slaughter by Tamora Pierce, and several others. Best of luck with your reading goals!

[@avsambart]

Elantris is so good too! I love one of the bigger twists in it. Also in true Sanderson style, my favourite character in Elantris gets the short end of the stick. I wonder if you can figure out who? xD I started going through Sanderson's stuff in order towards the end of last year, and I've gotten up 2009. It's not much progress just yet but I'm having fun going through and reading EVERYTHING he's ever written in order. It's so much fun!

[@becklebooks]

Now that I’ve read pretty much all of Sanderson’s work I really want to jump on rereads! I can’t wait to reread Mistborn. And Stormlight. AH! 💙❤️

[@julesrainbird9434]

I have watched you enjoy Brandon Sanderson so I've bought the Mistborn books and Skyward. I ordered Renegagdes and Arch Enemies last week so those are also on my 2019 Want To Read list!

[@paulohh2]

You should pick up Arcanum Unbounded. It's a collection of short stories set in the cosmere and has some of my favourite Sanderson stories like the emperors soul and secret history.

[@winter5866]

The raven cycle is so amazing!!! I’m hoping to introduce the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo to my book club this year 😍😍

[@helenrees6127]

OMG I love Gardens of the Moon!!! The second one is incredible (and sort of destroyed me, I've rarely cried that much reading a book)

[@kristenfader2088]

Circe has been my first book of 2019 and I loooooooooved it! Already ordered the Song of Achilles by the same author :)

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

YES READ RENEGADES

[@mcsims6094]

I’m currently reading Renegades and it’s really good so far. I hope you like the book too when you read it

[@R3BECCAK]

Elantris was the first book I read on 2019 and wellllll....Elantris is AMAZING!! Probably one of my favourite books of all time! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

[@siliconeyes]

A Gentleman in Moscow! I have that on my tbr list. Been wanting to read it since last year. Hopefully I can get to it this year together with you ;)

[@joecourtney8552]

I need to give the Brent weeks series another go. The magic system was kind of complicated and listening on audiobook it was hard to get into.

[@laurakinney8538]

I already read one of my must reads for this year, Vengeful! It was sooooo good! Other books are Kingdom of Ash, The Wicked King, and starting Brandon Sanderson!

[@caitlinreads7641]

I’m reading Elantris this month!

[@frozenpizza4]

I’m catching up on lightbringer right now I’m almost done with the third book!

[@cartinhapokemon]

im about to watch and already feel like a brandon sanderson vibe love ur videos btw

[@mgnxcamille6850]

Patchinko is one of my favourite books ever.... it's a work of art 💙

[@shutupnread]

Omg pachinko was definitely one of my favorite books of 2017. SO GOOD

[@tawnyabarrett3836]

Awesome list!!! Love your personality and videos!!!

[@ChocolateKryptonite]

I loved Elantris so much!

[@lyndsayreads]

I read The Final Empire in December and loved it! I'm hoping to get my boyfriend to read it this year as well! Evelyn Hugo is amaaaaaazing! I hope you love it. Good luck with your TBR! :)

[@rebekahmackenzie]

Great list! I would like to read Renegades as well this year. Really want to read Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Comes out in March I think.

[@LastMinuteGuess]

Oh my god, she’s actually going to try and read Malazan. I’ve read the whole series - that’s like a battlefield to get through.

[@juliacaster1752]

I loved this video!! You inspire me to read and this video was so interesting, I love the books you chose and hope you get to them

[@phillipcarbin7394]

I actually started reading the last book of the Delirium trilogy. I am sad that this is the final installment but happily eager to see how this trilogy ends.

[@rebeccacutler9291]

You have to look up or into Terry Goodkind Sword of truth series. Wizards first rule is book one : ) my favorite series, well one of them

[@booksrocks3303]

Steelheart trilogy has such wonderful twist and turns! It has interesting characters and that ending... hold on to your hat!

[@DarkRuins]

When you showed A Gentleman in Moscow, I lowkey groaned like "ohhohohohhhohhhhhh". That novel is the definition of class.

[@car5522]

I really want to read The Gentlemen Bastard series, the Mistborn series, Jacky Faber series, All of Cassandra Clare's books (Maybe a bit too ambitious), Red Queen's War series, Shadowmarch series, The Lot Lands series, The Iluminae Files, Grim Reaper, Johannes Cabal, and many more, but school won't leave me of its clutches.

[@bibliophilebasics2028]

the 7 husbands of evelyn hugo is on my list to read in 2019 as well! good luck with reading all of them!

[@ashleycanter5155]

Elantris was the first book I ever read by him and still my favorite!

[@aliciacroft]

I want to read Spinning silver, Iron and magic, and the Great Alone (even though I dont like historical fiction generally), Educated... Ive only read Flamecaster so I need to hurry up and read the rest before the 4th And reread Harry Potter and LOTR :) :)

[@lipstickandbourbon2027]

I'm eagerly awaiting The Dragon Republic which is the 2nd book in The Poppy War trilogy. Also, The Toll by Neal Shusterman, Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare, and King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo. Confession: I've never read anything by Brandon Sanderson. I will change that this year.

[@NancyChen53]

I read Pachinko when it first released. It is an amazing literary novel and I flew through it. I hope you like it!

[@samanthamoorhouse623]

Don't forget the Steelheart Trilogy if you want to complete Sanderson!

[@Jeramie26]

I want to read some of Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight series if that is correct? I too have a lot of books to read. The Wise Man’s Fear, The God Father, Children of Blood and Bone, A Court of Frost and Starlight, all of Leigh Bardugo’s novels, Three Dark Crowns Trilogy, Red Queen trilogy?, Northern Light Trilogy, and some of Philippa Gregory’s novels. Also, rereading Dan Brown’s books as well. Those were my TBR this 2019.

[@thebookborough]

I really want to read A Gentleman in Moscow as well! I have yet to read a Brandon Sanderson book. I just hate the US covers for them ☹️ I really liked seeing your two most anticipating books being published in 2019, they’re different than what most people anticipate!

[@pedrofaray3096]

You should start the Wheel of time series, is an amazing fantasy serie and after Robert Jordan’s death Brandon Sanderson wrote the last 3 books. I’m reading the 12 book, the fist that Sanderson wrote and is incredible. One of the best fantasies series ever.

[@nelliandbooks]

Children of virtue and Vengeance is one for me. I also think I need reread couple series. For example I read the Ember series back to back and they are all the same blur to me so I need to really know what happens in which book
