[@polandbananasBOOKS]

ah clockwork. such a wonderful series. princess will always be one of my favorite books / i just ran away to go add the final empire to my tbr on goodreads. OCEANS 11 MEETS FANTASY. HOLD UP MUST HAVE.

[@PeruseProject]

Me too! And omg it's so good like Mistborn is my current obsession.

[@Katytastic]

Ahhh of all these books the ones I've read are also some of my favorites, which obviously means I need to read all the rest! I want to read more adult books next year too, so I think I need that Jim Butcher series in my life ASAP!

[@PeruseProject]

My life would be complete if you read that Jim Butcher series. js.

[@Esty777]

Watching it in 2015 and still one of my most favourite videos of yours.

[@MyAbidingJournal]

Thanks for making a Top 13 that was pretty well-rounded. There were a few I've read, ones I've heard of and want to read, and ones I knew nothing about. You gave really great little summaries of each, too. Now I want em all!

[@HannahLorenc]

I wasn't sure if I was going to continue reading the Throne of Glass series but you convinced me. Heading out tomorrow to get Crown of Midnight!

[@twobookteens]

your camera quality is amazing now😱 the infernal devices was one of my favorite series of the year too. I love it so much more than TMI

[@eridejj]

I read "Fangirl" because of your introduction... It was amazing!! I really really really loved it!!!! And I love the way you talk about books... It just makes me want to read them!! Thank you so much for the amazing videos...

[@cozymonica]

I've never really felt a great desire to read the Shatter Me series, but knowing you loved it so much this year has made me re-think that. Perhaps I'll give it a go this year. Also, I'm currently reading The Final Empire and kajehfiauewfnjaklsjdfoi. SO GOOD.

[@DanaFromAlaska]

Your enthusiasm is very contagious!

[@kelseylovesstuff]

I'm so glad to see someone else reading Throne of Glass. It is by far my favorite series yet. It's amazing!

[@ErinKwed]

I love all the dystopian you share. I've recently rekindled my love of dystopian thanks to your channel and I can't stop reading!

[@haayechels]

How did I JUST find your youtube channel? I didn't even know Book-tubers was a thing but omg yessss. Hah! I've been needing more books to read and your videos will cure me of boredom. Thanks! (:

[@samjaymc]

What a great video to finish 2013! You read some amazing books this past year! Lots to add to my TBR!

[@ALyndenRolland]

Great list! Loved Clockwork Princess!! Ruins next on the TBR list.

[@MyDogIsaHobbit]

I really love your taste !!! Subscribed after a minute of this video and it kept getting better and better.

[@stephisip]

Thank you!!! I'm going to try reading all the books you listed in the video. CAN'T WAIT

[@je1suis1julz]

Great list! Looking forward to checking some of these out, especially The Final Empire. I hadn't heard of that one before.

[@SanaaStoriaYT]

I'm hoping to read The Furies of Calderon next month! Also, awesome top 13 books video! I've read a fair few of these, and The Exiled Queen which is my favorite in the Seven Realms series made my top 13 as well!

[@PeruseProject]

Thanks! And I think my favorites were The Exiled Queen and The Gray Wolf Throne!

[@MagicOfBooks]

Fantastic list! I think "Clockwork Princess" was the only one I read this year from your list.

[@ZoZo1512]

The knife of never letting go is on my January reading list! Can't wait to check it out!

[@BubbleyBathtub]

I don't know if you're going to read this, but I'm going to tell you anyway. I just LOVE how red your face turned when you're excited. It actually tells me a lot about how much you love each of the books. You don't have to worry about not knowing to describe how good they are, your face tells it all. And plus, you're adorable in red :)

[@mom2triplets04]

Great top 13. I have added a few more to my want to read list. Certainly want to check out Patrick ness and shatter me series. Never heard of Jim butcher will check him out as well. Thanks for the recommendations.

[@TheShadoWings]

Omg, Throne of Glass is going to be 6 books? I had no idea! I'm so excited! I've read the first two, absolutely fell in love with the protagonist and Chaol Westfall - both great characters. And just the writing, in general, was fantastic. Definitely my favourite books of 2013 considering I came across Throne of Glass by total accident.

[@IzzyLightwood]

Non of your videos have shown up in my subscription box for like the past month so I have had the joy of catching up on all of them today:) Excellent list....asking for most of them for my birthday now so youve helped get that boat moving. Happy New Years!!!! Looking forward t seeing what happens in 2014 :)

[@TheBookTuber]

Ahh you listed so many great books! I need to get my hands on Fangirl.

[@PeruseProject]

Thanks! And YES it really is a book all internet kids would love.

[@queenattitude1]

Honestly awesome selections! Hope you do a haul soon, added all to my TBR list, thanks so much!

[@PeruseProject]

I just posted a book haul! I NEEDS TO SAVE DA MONEY.

[@chanty123able]

You have amazing taste in books! You made me want to read every single book on this list! Guess i'm using the last of my Christmas money up..

[@Jellafy]

Wohoooo! 14 1/2 minutes of glory! I feel like I could probably wake you up in the middle of the night and you could rattle me down that Furies of Calderon synopsis xD Happy New Years! :-*

[@PeruseProject]

I really can though haha, AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[@BookBirdy03]

Chapter 62! I want to read so many of the books u mentioned! great video!

[@atheistnun4297]

I own most of your top 13 and you're making me really want to read them - like now! :) I read 177 books in 2013 and the Mistborn Series and Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson are definitely in my top 13. He is a fantastic author and his magic systems are unique and crazy!

[@jessicaleighthegirlwhoread2639]

Oh Clockwork Princess! I still can not belive how it ended, WOW. Great video you basicly named all of my favorite books :)

[@serenity8910]

I really need to start reading some of those fantasy books recommendations! Especially the Mistborn series! I just received Ruins as a gift, but I haven't read Pathfinder yet lol!

[@EmiliaIKnow]

I always love watching your videos like this because you have lots of different types of books which is really refreshing! PS you are fab (in case you forgot/didn't know)

[@ConnorOBrien]

Idk if you watched my new year's resolution video, but I'm reading a certain list of scifi/fantasy books and the codex alera is on it! So I'll definitely be reading at least the first one this year! So freeeeekin excited

[@PeruseProject]

WOOOO GONNA GO WATCH

[@cecipleitez]

i started to read Shatter me .... sooo awsome !! thank you .. keep reading and sharing with us !

[@itscherie702]

You have convinced me to pick up so many books this year. Now I have to have the codex of alera series and the mistborn series! Just add it on to my already ginormous tbr. Lol!

[@thegreeneyedgalreads3439]

Happy New Year! I really need to start Throne of Glass as I've had it on tbr for months now. Brie

[@Esty777]

Can't wait to see your list for 2014, we have similar book taste!!!

[@Cooper9281]

Thanks for the great video! I added several books to my TBR read list for 2014! Throne of Glass sounds amazing!

[@PeruseProject]

OMG IT IS

[@lyndsayreads]

Your videos always spark this interest in fantasy books that I never knew I could have.

[@bookworm1549]

Loved this video! You are so great at explaining the books! xx

[@XxCelestiquexX]

I read Throne of Glass just a few weeks ago AND LOVED IT. I reaally cannot wait to start reading Crown of Midnight!! I'm still freaking out about it being a six-book series!

[@MariaStanica]

I screenshotted every book that you mentioned so that I could remember to add them to my TBR. So many awesome-sounding books! :D

[@anushabansal8436]

Ahhhh soooo many books I need to read :) I read the Crimson Crown this year too and it's definitely going on my top 13. I thought it was the perfect ending for the series, definitely satisfying :)

[@melbindsfics]

Your list is freaking amazing… I just made my list for next year. I already starting The Knife of never letting go. I love your book choices. Your book choices are always the best. Fangirl is just amazing.

[@kimberleyreads2792]

You summed up the reasons why I love Shatter Me perfectly, the writing is AMAZING. Fangirl definitely my favourite book which I read in 2013

[@emmakennedy6947]

ah so many books to read now, I had heard about 'the infernal devices' trilogy but never knew whether to read it or not

[@sharonteeken]

I LOVE this video!! I haven't read a lot of the books you mentioned :/ I added this video to my favorites, so I won't forget what I NEED to buy!! HAPPY NEW YEAR :D

[@PeruseProject]

Yay! Happy New Year to you too!

[@mlprainbowdash1]

I just started reading for fun this year and I'm so glad I did! My favorite book this year was the fault in our stars, it didn't come out this year but I read it this year it was so good. Reading has done so much for me and I'm so ready to read a ton of books in 2014. :)

[@LadyMcHeth]

I'm glad you said the next book in Throne of Glass is better. I was a bit disappointed with Throne of Glass but since I bought the first two ebooks (99c each thank you very much Amazon) and because you said it gets better I will give the second one a shot.

[@ACommonSpring]

i'm so glad to see Mistborn on there. goddammit that series makes me want to scream it's so bloody good. the third book makes the first two, which were bloody brilliant, look like slop, too. just gets better and better. no other book has ever been that tidy. things said on practically the first page end up circling to the last pages of the 3rd book. insanely detailed. and the BATTLE SCENES. i HATE battle scenes but those one are damn near stereo. totallly outclasses everything in the genre i've read.

[@inneeko]

I recently bought Throne Of Glass, and I'm sooo excited to read it now!

[@decembers06]

I still need in increase my fantasy shelf so I'll look into Jim Butcher and Brandon Sanderson when I do. Their books sound great. I was excited to see House of the Scorpion on your list. I had to read that book for my YA Lit class this semester. Excellent list and I'll keep my eye on the books I haven't read yet. :)

[@PeruseProject]

Woooo!

[@FaniKaramanou]

I added almost all of them to my TBR list!Great video!

[@PeruseProject]

Woooo!

[@winterad807]

You know what? So many booktubers have raved about The Darkest Minds, but I feel like your video is the first real plot summary for it that I've seen. Thanks for such an informative video!

[@PeruseProject]

Thanks!

[@ungar5]

Very similar to my list... Had I made one. Mistborn is my all time favorite series. I picked up Furies of Caulderon after you talked about it. The first one was just ok, but I trusted you and continued to Academ's Fury. It was... Lets just say that now I have all the rest of the series sitting on my ״Read Me Nooow!!" shelf. So, I for one, am really happy you joined booktube.

[@abracadabramoonlight8481]

Yeah..The throne of glass just have been translate in my country and i hope so much in one day i will try it. I like your top! Take care!

[@veeramakela4890]

If you liked Mistborn, might I suggest The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch? It's even MORE Ocean's 11-meets-fantasy. It's brilliant!

[@WhittyNovels]

i like ur nail polish im gonna stop this video early because im pretty sure you're gonna mention all of my favorite books and im gonna die

[@PeruseProject]

K bb.

[@bettyreads222]

I shall definitely have to finally give Percy & TID series a try. Furies & Final Empire sound amazing; on the tbr they go since I have been trying to read more sci fi & fantasy! Totally agree with you on More Than This. I read the Chaos Walking trilogy as well this year, it feels like forever ago. I totally agree with you about the Mayor. He is just deliciously evil. I love amazing villains.

[@charlottetilley3705]

Have you read the bone season it was so good

[@CharrFrears]

Pretty much all of these are books that I really want to read and you've just made me so excited. Why must there be so many books in the world? Wahh

[@PeruseProject]

:D

[@everydaymagicftm]

PS: I got Jeff Mistborn and the 2 books after it for Christmas!! Thanks for that suggestion I know he's going to love them!

[@PeruseProject]

YAYAYAYA

[@SophieReadsBooks]

I would like to say that I love your videos and you have inspired me to make my own KZbin/BookTube account! So thanks for helping bring me out of my shell :D

[@AudibleQuoteLibrary]

Wow you pretty much sold me on every one of those books

[@emmalarson5717]

Oh my god me too

[@ivingzuniga841]

+Audible Quote Library same xD

[@nokiddingbrainless]

I NEED TO READ ALL OF THESE! I really want to get into adult fantasy but I find the genre so intimidating because pretty much all of the books are gigantic and a lot of them sound really bad. I'm very grateful for you picking out the gems for us!

[@inchie03]

Oh that was a great top 13! I have a question. Hope somebody answer. I've watched TMI movie and I haven't read the books. Can I read TID and will I uderstand anything cuz I'm not planning to get arond TMI at any time sooner or later?

[@SweetieXoX27]

You should read the Lunar Chronicles! They are amazing, and Cress, the third book, comes out in February! There will be four books in it!

[@Hebascorner]

Thanks for the video!! You've listed books I want to get my hands on right now :)

[@PeruseProject]

:D

[@charlottebrand2712]

You just gained a new sub:-) I love the books you are reading, and I have so many new books to read:-) xxxx

[@ariluvsthemusic]

great list! love the new camera quality :+)

[@carleighhiggins9480]

Have you read 'the fault in our stars"? I loved it, even through the sad aspects... Btw, I love the heroes of Olympus!

[@brookelieberman7795]

You are so great omg! I was wondering where you bought your edition of the Mistborn trilogy box set? I want to buy it but I live in Canada and I am not sure which site I can trust. Thanks so much!

[@LectoraEstherica]

I really want to read Jim butcher & C.W.Chima books! Happy New Year!

[@literary_ghosts]

i got the house of the scorpion as a gift. SO excited based on your recommendation :) and i am really enjoying the final empire YEP

[@learnedhowtofly226]

I think you should look into reading the Throne of Glass novellas. They tell Celaena's back story as an assassin and explain Sam. Not to mention, they're FANTASTIC.

[@PeruseProject]

I totally plan too! I am waiting for the release of the hard copy in March!

[@whatisabibliophile]

So many books I still need to read! Great video - very informative and interesting to watch. :) PS. What nail polish are you wearing? As odd as this sounds, I kept getting distracted by how pretty that color is.

[@shelbymae16]

I love the Chaos Walking trilogy! I read them back in 2010 I think and they have been in my top five favorite books ever since. Seriously so good! I'm happy the trilogy is getting more love as of recently!

[@perpetualpages]

When you were describing The Mistborn series, I stared off and it sounded almost exactly how I would describe Steelheart lol (minus the magic system, of course). So that was creepy haha. I still want to read ALL THE BRANDON SANDERSON though, also I have the first book of the Codex Alera series on my shelf, so I am just failing at life tbh

[@PeruseProject]

I WANT TO READ ALL THE BRANDON SANDERSON TOOO

[@oxoxally]

Are you going to do a book goals video for 2014? (:

[@ReadingMissFroggy]

I loved Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight so much, probably one of my favorite series ever :D

[@leannb2513]

I love Throne of Glass too!!!! Finally found a booktuber who has read it!!! yes!!!! And I totally agree that Celaena is such a kick ass female character and that is one of the reasons I love this series soooo much!!!

[@Buffyfan136]

how do you have room for all these books in your house? especially hardback copies loll

[@missmeylin]

I haven't read any of those so far!! Ahhh. Which one to start with?!?!?!

[@amandavvcullen13]

I read the House of the Scorpion when I was in 8th grade!! And I graduated High School 2 years ago... Glad to see its still reaching people, it's so good! :)

[@taylors189]

Thank you so much! I JUST subscribed to you only because you have such a good taste in books. Also, I hate you because now I have a CART full of books on B&N.com...

[@ghstrdio]

Wow, someone that has a lot of variety. Great video.

[@annabellesiegel4335]

I know you love Patrick Ness books but for some reason I couldn't get into them.... I read the first half of the first book and did not find the books very enjoyable. Should I continue reading? Will it get better?

[@thaliavourskey1218]

Yes. It gets heaps better. It takes the first half to get into it because you kind of have to get used to the writing and the world and the characters etc.

[@Dulcedeletii]

Number one, you look amazing! Love your freckles & lipstick. Beautiful. Two, I owe you my entire YEAR for shinning the light on The Giver quartet. I can't get over the fact that it has been way over a decade since it was my favorite book, and I am just now finding out it is not a stand-alone all thanks to YOU! I now have the entire quartet thanks to my bday & Christmas being so close together :D Three... I love your videos. Really. You are so eloquent with your descriptions, and you don't over-do it with too much nonsense like some booktubers. I love your taste and everything as well! Hope this comment helped you smile, and have a wonderful new year! Feel free to come by and check out my channel if you ever have time.

[@amyprejoles1448]

Have you read Legend by Marie Lu? If you haven't, you totally should! I thought it was really, really, good. There are three books, Legend, Prodigy, and Champion. I'm reading champion right now...

[@musicrockx1]

Thank you for including shatter me and unravel me they are addicting. Agreed.

[@AThousandLivesOfDais]

I need to read Fangirl. Everyone keeps saying how good it is! I think it comes out in the UK in early January, if not I'll totally have to buy it online.

[@PeruseProject]

You really need to! It's s cute

[@TheStaticVigilante]

I can't wait to read Throne of Glass; I just got it today.

[@printedwordsand]

Ok, definitely reading The Darkest Mind and More Than This now. I've been iffy about The Darkest Mind and wanting to read More Than This but reluctant to buy it. If it's part of your favourites though then I'm down!

[@elixir1011]

you're amazing... just amazing. I love your choice of vocabulary for everything... you make me want to read the dictionary.

[@soanthegreat]

Holy shit some Mistborn rep! About damn time Sanderson got more recognition. Seriously, everyone go buy his books. Like right now. Also, if you liked Alera, you should try the Dresden Files

[@nikkoadrianperez8584]

Can someone give me the list of books enumerated in the video? please.

[@whistlingbanshee5038]

Spends weeks browsing Easons trying to find good fantasy books. Accidently stumbles onto this video. Suddenly has 13 must reads....

[@yoamothebooks]

Your news camera makes you look 100000 times better

[@IzzyRawrable]

I am nearly halfway through clockwork angel, it is amazing. Amazing. Will. Ah.
