[@PaigeWatts]

You look so much like Zoey Deutch, so so beautiful!

[@chesterocampo4210]

totally agree with your opinion about Allegiant

[@alexzandrab5208]

Same here!

[@andreaverdes8794]

Same! I love Veronica Roth's bravery for doing that!

[@rennyoroll]

Allegiant is like Mockingjay, in a way. I bawl every time I read Mockingjay. AND IT'S OKAY!!!! I CRY ALL THE TIME!!!

[@gabrielabianchi1809]

I cry too! Continuous rivers of reading induced tears. So many tears

[@mollgrn]

aww, the fault in our stars, such a brilliant book. the only book I've ever cried at, I can't wait for the movie!

[@TianaLucy13]

omggg youre in the divergent movie?? i'll definitely look out for you :) ahhhh

[@jessica-clairerichardson4960]

you actually look a little like lily Collins :o

[@leannb2513]

that's what I thought too! I think it's mainly cuz of her eyebrows

[@jesssmith6569]

love coming back and watching these so I can catch up on the old popular books that I never got around to reading!! I MISS THIS ERA

[@kateking-smith2357]

I'm literally so happy that you've read the Vampire Academy series. It's just amazing. I started reading it when Shadow Kiss had just come out and when Spirit Bound came out and I was left on a massive cliffhanger, I legitimately threw my book at the wall. You're lucky you didn't have to wait for Last Sacrifice like I did... And WHY CAN I NOT FIND THE SHATTER ME SERIES HERE IN AUSTRALIA?! Seriously, I spent like three hours in the massive Dymocks bookstore in Sydney just looking for it. And after searching THREE FLOORS OF BOOKS, it wasn't there. Amazon be my saviour....

[@chloepenguins]

I agree with what you said on Allegiant, so many people are mad with Veronica Roth's choice. I was VERY sad (and cried for days) but it was probably the best way she could have ended it, like you said. The ending was the most realistic for a dystopian novel where the world is not perfect and usually not happy. The ending really showed Tris's selflessness, bravery and strength.

[@ikramb1958]

Named Cath, Wren is her sister :)

[@abookutopia]

Haha oops, Your right!!

[@MollyKatteeeee]

I don't hate Allegiant because of the ending, I hate it because most of the book was boring.

[@geu37527]

I completely agree! Like the first two books were so action packed that Allegiant was a major let down.

[@MollyKatteeeee]

Finally someone agrees!

[@venkatzras1]

you have no idea how happy i am that you loved the luxe series as much as i did! and daemon IS AWESOME!!:P

[@StellaWhelan]

The elite , the mortal instruments , fallen series , the host , the vampire diaries , mockingjay (again)

[@booksbythedozen]

You're totally channelling Lily Collins in this video. Haha.

[@bulletsschn]

Have you read the Gone series by Micheal Grant? It's amazing!!!!

[@booksandpain]

Yes, all of these books, yes! These Broken Stars has been on my tbr for quite a while, as has the series that Horde comes from! Fifty shades of still not over Clockwork Princess!

[@thebookkorner190]

I read The Edge of Never a few days ago and really like it!! Unravel Me, TFIOS and Vampire Academy are just ahhhhhh, I don't even have words for Ignite Me!! I can't wait to read the Mara Dyer bookssss

[@ayecynthia]

omg you look just like lily collins!

[@anna-leejenson4149]

You should read the immortals series it's really good

[@GotItAllReviews]

The Fault in our Stars is completely amazing. I don't wanna sound cheesy or cliched but this book has changed my life!!!!

[@sarahbennett8140]

I believe this is my fourth video of yours ive watched and im kinda in love with you, lol. But not in a weird way =) Subscribed!!!

[@zmzjm]

Love this video! Really, no kidding and there's a few book that you mentioned were also mentioned by others so it makes them really recommended for other people, like me, who are seeking for great books to read (lazily). Definitely going to find you out in that movie ;)

[@EliDeOlivera]

Darn, I subscribed and the only reason I could come up with for doing such thing is you being the cutest person on Earth... Seriously though, lovely video! :)

[@kayleighc8693]

I saw you and I was really excited I was like omg my favorite youtuber!'

[@allisoneuph1]

Yes. I love Champion. I'm so pumped for the Divergent movie

[@tessa9152]

YOUR AN EXTRA!!!!! Lucky omg💕 I didn't hate Veronica for the ending I just wasn't happy with the book in general and the overlall action. But it's good that you liked it because I wish I did and it did more justice for me to end such an amaizing series. But HOLY HERA YOUR AN EXTRA! Congrats! You should do a video about it *hint* hint*

[@KatieOSheaBooks]

These were all such amazing recommendations! I love how you were like Noah Shaw. Enough Said. YES. haha. I am definitely going to pick up These Broken Stars on your recommendation because I love all your other top books and haven't read that one but once you said Star-crossed lovers I was like YES :)

[@purplehazee90]

love what you said about allegiant and VR, definitely agree with you

[@annienguyend7345]

I read Clockwork Angel and when Jem told Tessa his story I cried and when Tessa realize Sophie is in love with Jem I start crying and the awkward thing.... I was in class. Classmate were staring at me as if I'm crazy and one girl went like, " It's just a book " I almost wanted to scream, " It's my lifeline b*tch!!! So back off! "

[@emmaflach7433]

I finished clockwork princess literally Friday. And I don't think I cried that much ever in my life. it was amazing.

[@kileighhickman3810]

OMG your team Warner too!!!! I thought I was like going crazy because I started to LOVE him!!!! But it's nice to know I'm not the only one!!! Thank goodness!!!! And btw I LOVE u and I'm going read all theses books that u r recommending!!!!

[@chanelk313]

After watching one video by you, I subscribed! I've never seen a channel like this, and I found it while watching TFOS trailer! Cool channel, :)

[@zea4xx659]

clockwork princess is my all time favorite

[@SarahTowlerr]

Also I thought the end of Allegiant was a really brave choice form Veronica and I love that she had the bravery to do it.

[@twobookteens]

A lot of people hated Allegiant because of the ending but it wasn't my favorite in the series because I had a hard time visualizing everything which usually isn't difficult for me. It made me sad cause VRoth got me back into writing this summer with Divergent

[@IamSandy096]

I liked this video to go back and read all of these when I'm finished with my exams and my reading list!

[@CosmeticKat101]

Champion was AMAZING! I loved it more then Allegiant too, just the way Marie Lu ended the series was perfection

[@gabrieller.3630]

Clockwork Princess' Epilogue killed me.

[@leannb2513]

you read Horde too?! yay, I haven't really found many other booktubers who've read that series. I love it too!

[@AwesomeGurl225]

The prologue of Clockwork Princess killed me too :'(

[@ivyandpages]

Hey I just discovered your channel. I loved this video so I subscribed ;). You picked some great books. Vampire Academy is my favorite YA series

[@kierstenvolion6203]

Sasha, we are one person omg •___• it's not even funny how much I cry when I read books and watch the movie adaptations like no. guhhhhh

[@AllThingsAbella]

I just finished prodigy, it was amazing! I can't wait to read champion!

[@SarahTowlerr]

Everyone of my friends read the Fault in Our Stars in one day, me included. It's such a beautiful book.

[@livstatube925]

I got these broken stars two days ago and its such an amazing book!!!

[@CosmeticKat101]

The Fault In Out Stars OMG don't even get me started I just I loved it

[@TheOsnapitzrina]

I 100% agree with your opinion. I think that a happy ending wouldn't have been possibly since they've been through so much.

[@abbywonder3825]

I didn't like the movie Divergent. I thought the characters were flat and the acting horrible. There wasn't any spark with the main characters

[@genesislandestoy759]

Cassandra Clare is incredible... I love all of her books. Honestly, I only ever really liked the first book of the Divergent series. I just feel like the dialogue is a bit forced in the series. For me dialogue is everything and if it is not witty and sarcastic I don't tend to stick around. I also can't stand books where the girl is so wrapped up in her love for the guy. I do, however, love when the guy is obsessed with the girl, which is why I love the Clockwork Series! Will Herondale is the love of my life. I usually go for books with a captivating adventure and a good love triangle that is hinted at or established but is not all encompassing. Many books focus too much on the love and not enough on the adventure. Look up Tamora Pierce's books. The Song of the Lioness is one of the best YA series's I've ever read.

[@judithjane2057]

You just have to read Rubyred by Kerstin Gier. This book is amazing and I can really recommend it.

[@claireloueeez]

I seriously need to read so many of these O_O

[@carolineh7888]

Yay thank you! I wasn't sure about vampire academy but now I'm definitely getting it!

[@lisawhbc2009]

Insurgent comes out on March 20, 2015 :)

[@alexzandrab5208]

Yay!!! we are Jamie fans!!!! I am in love with everything Jamie does!!!!!! He is perfect as Jace!!!!!!!

[@Alana_King]

Clockwork Princess was AMAZING!!!!!! My favorite book of 2013 by far! Also... My problem with Allegiant wasn't with the ending. It was with the whole thing in general. I just didn't like it.

[@charmgirl12]

Yes yes yes!! CHAMPION! My all-time favorite.

[@kaitlynash106]

I have a signed copy of 'The Fault In Our Stars' that I'm completely territorial over. Like seriously, you can only borrow it if you're a REALLY close friend.

[@dianadamiani]

Have you read the Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin?

[@rosalieduijndam6951]

Don't you mean the epilogue of Clockwork Princess? :) (it killed me)

[@abookutopia]

Haha yes I did, but it ALL KILLED ME!!! (along with the fandom)

[@rosalieduijndam6951]

Haha ikr!

[@kaycistrous7717]

Omg I cry a lot in books and movies too!!!!!!!!! Especially books!!!!!

[@erank.6943]

total agree with your opinion on Allegiant!

[@laurennies6638]

You should do another twin tag or maybe another fandom collision

[@sixthspice]

I also adore eleanor and park!

[@kerrypaginton748]

Great video :) Was just wondering in your opinion should the infernal devices or the mortal instruments be read first? Want to get into the series but don't know where to start :)

[@lucaschang7080]

the edge of never is such a good read. I read it cause you reccommended it now i'm recomending it

[@jordanreese1635]

For the overview of Fangirl, I think she messed it up, Wren is Cath's sister, but not the main character, I read it last year

[@MariaPhs]

I'm so glad that I found your channel

[@zoearias-walker3610]

I love all the books that are in this video well all of the ones I have read especially vampire academy and the divergent series

[@stefanysepulveda9758]

I LOVE VAMPARIE ACADAMY !!!! and yaaa i saw u in Divergent

[@CosmeticKat101]

CHAMPION OMG!I LOVED THAT BOOK THE WHOLE SERIES I EVEN LIKED CHAMPION BETTER THAN ALLEGIANT BECAUSE THE ENDING WASN'T AS SAD AND IT WAS SWEET AND SAD BUT STILL IT WAS SWEET AND OPENED UP NEW CHANCES FOR THEM (: IDK WHY I'M WRITING IN CAPS LOL

[@707sweetgirl]

CLOCKWORK PRINCESSSSSS THE PROLOGUE KILLED ME

[@lehssarwalker]

Why no House of Hades?

[@sonyaterleckyj3132]

the divergent series is my absolute favorite books of all time. And i think it was a great way to end it. I wouldn't have seen it coming if people wouldn't have told me but I think it was a good way to wrap up the series but because it was the main character I got the feels for Tobias ( MY BÆ ). I did not like Caleb in insurgent nor alligent I thought he was a butt whole. I do think the castings for the move were the best. I find it weird that Ansel and Shai are sister and brothers in divergent but the most adorable couple in TFIOS. I really hope to meet the cast. And after seeing insurgent in curious if alligent will be the same as far as Veronica trying to include all of her favorite parts from the book. Overall insurgent was my favorite big time I love how skhe took a dystopian/ realistic fantasy type book and made it into a small love story I seriously cried and ate ice cream in my bed I was so sad😭😭 but I love Veronica and her way of writing.

[@leannb2513]

I agree with a lot of your book choices

[@taylorrosetta]

Summer must reads

[@yeanahcha6396]

Cannot agree with you more on people hating in Veronica Roth for Allegiant. The ending broke my heart but it was a great end to the series

[@sodapopx3582]

I've read most of these books but the others are on my to read list!! :)

[@Sara-lq3wx]

I love a lot of the books you mentioned. I can't even. xox

[@ethansummy3467]

You look like Lily Collins, who played Clary Fray in The Mortal Instruments series!

[@mollyburgess8334]

I'm with you on the emotional part! I cry in books and movies. and yea I cry too much. ahah

[@marissamora2926]

i hated how roth ended alleigant but it was one of the best books i ever read. but it did break my heart. i say a good book can toy with ur emoitions

[@realaracelyalvarez]

I read Fault in Our Stars 5 hours straight tooooo !

[@user-xy4di3pd2m]

I think you should put all your multiple copies in a secure and protected location so if your house burns down you have copies

[@DyColares]

The Edge of Never is AMAZIIING! The best young adult I've ever read! :)

[@marisacelentano7905]

I need to sit down with a note pad and write down book titles ❤️

[@annieswiftyfan]

Thank you for giving me some new books to read! I've read a few of these and I'm trying to get my butt into gear so I can read a few more :) I'm currently waiting on Unravel Me to arrive! I don't know if you would see this but sometimes you talk really fast and I have to skip back to understand you. It's mostly when you say names and such so it's really not a huge deal. But there is some constructive criticism for you :)

[@JECLib]

Great book reviews! :D... what kind of dog is Collin?

[@applelicious7099]

I love Clockwork Princess the most

[@HAS468]

i also liked the vampire academy series better than bloodlines it took me a while to get into the bloodlines series but i did enjoy the fiery heart the most outta the blood lines series

[@xoxokate9716]

OMFG I love The Fault in our Stars

[@alexislindsey9923]

How are you in divergent!!??? I live in Chicago too I love divergent

[@msAAldy]

You look like Lilly Collins!!! You two, girls, could be twins!!!

[@xdantunes]

i read vampire academy in year 9 and its still my favourite series

[@moochiegirl1000]

TFIOUS trailer came on as an ad before

[@annabanana8874]

I'm not really into vampire books so I don't know if I should read bloodlines.

[@ashleyfeldherr2294]

It wasn't Wren who was the fangirl it was Cath

[@rosacutejenniely8339]

Favorite book; Fifth wave!

[@IrresistibleDolls]

I love watching your videos!

[@kckittykc]
