Top 15 Books To Read in 2017

[@franciskalj3240]

I really love all your videos and how you started incorporating your other interests into them, so I hope you continue to do videos on movies, your HP chats and discussion videos. YES PLEASE READ SIX OF CROWS, it is by far one of my favourite books of the year.

[@charliesheehan3649]

hufflebee b

[@katisobsessive]

I adore your HP chats videos and your If You Like This, Try This series! Oh, and I loved your Playlist book tag. It was fantastic.

[@katisobsessive]

And next year I absolutely have to read The Lies of Locke Lamora. I've been putting it off for so long. It's just been sitting on my nightstand collecting dust.

[@cindiadkins9510]

Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom are like a drug, they're so good to devour.

[@TheSlothReader]

I definitely want to read all the PJO+ books next year. That's my big 2017 goal. I also want to read Gone with the Wind since my grandmother has been giving me grief about it for the last couple of years. also a lot of your books are some I read this year and either loved or hated haha. I hope you enjoy all of them!

[@mtl199813]

I personally love your chatty fandom videos, such as the Hp chats. I think you could really explore other fandoms that you love and analyse them with a community. I also love all of your other content, so I mean, win win. :D Great video!!

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

I would love to do stuff like this! Are there specific fandoms or anything you're curious about? Because believe me, if I love the show I'm probably already bursting to talk about it more ;)

[@Tummyachesurvior]

I wanted to thank you, Cece. You showed off "Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruits" and I bought it and read it and it was so lovely and it helped me to fully accept my bisexuality. :)

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

I'm so glad! That makes me feel so happy to hear :,)

[@haleybullock9955]

I've really enjoyed your videos that are based around a specific genre of books. (Ex: favorite trilogies, favorite series, and favorite fantasy books, ect.) Sometimes when I want to branch out into a new genre, I have no idea what to read and I've loved all the videos you did like that because they were really helpful

[@kenneddyy340]

The audiobook for Station Eleven is incredible! I absolutely adored it. George is great, hits you right in the feels. I'm always intrigued by In Cold Blood but haven't picked it up yet, will be interesting to hear your thoughts.

[@loveandliterature6446]

In Cold Blood is one of my favorite books! I truly hope you enjoy it!! Where I Am Now is on my 2017 TBR, too.

[@amsardina11]

I read the Rook a couple months ago and absolutely loved it! Can't wait for Stiletto!

[@disneygirl1189]

Six of crows was the last book I read in 2016 and it was really great! I'm usually not that into these fast paced books filled with bad-ass characters, but this one was more than just that. The characters each have their own different story and are pretty diverse, so it makes it much more interesting.

[@loreleilarter8547]

COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES IS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS. It is definitley about faye and when you get into it, it is really easy to finish so you will get on to a Court of Mist and Fury. Thank you Cece, I found this channel a few videos ago and i love it xx I love your choice in books, I have a very similar TBR list. Thank you for this great list x

[@loreleilarter8547]

I know you posted this ages ago, but anyway :)

[@leabhairagustae7279]

I love all the videos you do with Janel!

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

So do I ;)

[@HookedtotheBook]

That's so interesting that you have Bittersweet on your list! I got this book for review, and I just could not get into it! So I hope that you can get me to read it! Excited to see what you think!

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

I've seen a few people say this in the comments now and it has definitely made me nervous! I hope that I actually like it, because it seems like a lot of people didn't.

[@maryhelen7588]

I love your videos - but generally on booktube I particularly love lists because they often lead to my hearing about books I haven't heard about before. And that includes hauls and wrap-ups and tbrs but also just random topics too. I tend to avoid watching single book reviews unless I've already read the book and had strong feelings about it. :D

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

That's exactly how I tend to be when it comes to what I like watching too. So good to know! Thanks :)

[@cdf228]

I read lovely bones years ago and really enjoyed it. The PoV is from the kidnapee perspective and you also get to see her family dealing with the aftermath of her disappearance. All these years later I can still reference text and moments in the Book that offered me a lot of comfort when dealing with grief from loss. hope you enjoy would love to hear your thoughts when ur done

[@lydiaschoen]

The lovely bones is one of the books that got me into reading way back when in high school! I would really like to get to the mistborn trilogy this year!

[@TheMediaQueer]

Girl Mans Up is on my TBR. Super excited to read it.

[@cloudslikethis]

I also want to read Six of Crows next year, I read Shadow and Bone this month and wasn't that impressed but I liked the world and Six of Crows sounds a lot more diverse

[@cloudslikethis]

I almost got the American Housewife collection for my mom but was worried she might be offended by the title :P It looks really interesting tho

[@ashley-ww1rx]

Nicole McKeon I just started six of crows:D

[@thesonicmaestro]

Nicole McKeon It is better than shadow and bone. I hesitated reading it because I thought the Grisha trilogy was just OK. I'm going to start Crooked Kingdom next.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I just received Girl Man Up and I am way excited

[@ericamangin1184]

I have Station Eleven out from the library at the moment - hoping to get to it in the coming week.

[@always_snape816]

I would loooove to see more reading vlogs from you. You just taking us with you throughout your reading day. Maybe incooperated into a book review, or like a review on the go? This would be my idea, but (and this is the important part right here) I enjoy your content as it is/has been since I've discovered your chanel. So thank you so much for sharing your bookish thoughts with us! I'm looking forward to new videos from you in the new year ♥

[@loosegarmentmp3]

Thanks for this video I found out about George and Girl mans up! I'm really excited to get them and read them.

[@inwalksgrace]

In Cold Blood is an incredible book. The movie Capote focused on the telling of that story, but there's also a 1967 movie of In Cold Blood that's really, really good.

[@susans.k.3025]

The movie Capote was actually about the writing of In Cold Blood. Just in case you were expecting the book to be the same! And Station Eleven was wonderful!!! Highly recommend!!!! Also I think you will really enjoy A Gathering of Shadows! It was sooo good!!! Great video!

[@melissakaye840]

I don't remember if I already commented this but George was AMAZING! I hope you love it as much as I did!

[@maybefyn4220]

One of my favorite videos of yours this year was your lookbook so I totally wouldn't mind seeing more of those -cough- please do more. I also really enjoy your discussion videos and HP chats :)

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

I'll be doing another lookbook in January/February so don't worry! That was not my only one. And I would love to do more discussion-based videos. Are there specific discussions or HP chat topics you're interested in? I'm always curious what kinds of stuff people want to hear me talk more about :)

[@maybefyn4220]

ProblemsofaBookNerd I would really enjoy seeing more book vs movie hp chats on any character you really feel was changed (for better or worse)/even whole scenes that were changed or taken out and the fan theories!! like you could talk about more of those because there's obvs many and like what you wish was canon/if were canon would totally be a game changer for the whole series or things that you can have fun with like that. As for discussions I just really love to hear your opinion on basically everything, like your girl hate discussion will always be one of my favs so anything else where you can really pick a part an issue would be fantastic. You're basically my favorite booktuber so I'm really excited to see what you come up with for 2017!

[@Szandyfletcher]

I must be honest, I like every video you make, especially wrap ups, favorites, TBRs and vlogs. Maybe you could do some discussion videos on different topics? I mean I'd like to hear your opinion on different book related things. My biggest goal next year is to finally read Bloodlines by Richelle Mead. It's been on my TBR list for 4 years. I'd also love to read more and more high fantasy because it is my absolute fave genre.

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

It's totally fine! Janel and I have planned to do some videos coming up in the new year, for sure. And I would really like to do some videos with her specifically about us, so I'm sure those are going to happen eventually. Maybe when we finish school this year and get settled in an apartment and everything. I would love to overshare about that :)

[@lucyc5131]

I recently read Six of Crows after it being on my shelf for months. It is so good, I was annoyed at myself for not having the sequel right there.

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Ooh I should do one of these, I have so many books that I've needed to get to for ages. I hope you enjoy these! I really liked Station Eleven and Where Am I Now - The Lovely Bones was also v good but very grim!

[@annamoore4120]

I would love to see some more book reviews, vlogs and book recommendations!

[@gilmirmo]

I personally enjoy your HP chats and book reviews the most ^^

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

Good to know! Thank you :)

[@ananthousflorist2249]

Hey Cece! I just discovered your channel (and BookTube, haha) and I love it so far! Station Eleven and In Cold Blood are two of my favorites. For 2017, I think you should just keep doing what you're doing, because I'm loving it. :)

[@paulinaayala6501]

Wow! Your TBR and mine look a lot alike haha, hope it would be a great reading year!!

[@kaykell1234]

I love the "if you like this try this" videos

[@brittneyjoybooks2667]

I've never heard of "American Housewife" and it sounds amazing! Just added to my GoodReads to-read list! Thanks! :)

[@NervousVlogmathster]

LGBTQ book recommendations (it would be cool for like genre-specific ones, I'm thinking scifi but I know that's not your main genre)

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

I would love to be able to do that! Thanks for the suggestion :)

[@marielzanibegona460]

I read George as an ebook in under three hours!!! And now I need to purchase it in Spanish (since I read it in English) so when I decide to have children I can read it to them!!!

[@lckitten13]

I've been really wanting to read American Housewife Stories. The UK edition (at least I THINK it's the UK hardback) is absolutely beautiful! I've been wanting to order it! Also I really love watching most anticipated lists and book reviews! Most of the time I love your videos though. I don't think you need to change up much.

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

I absolutely love making my anticipated lists, so this is good to hear. I'm trying to narrow down my anticipated of 2017 list right now and it is SO DIFFICULT.

[@sandragenrejunkies]

Some good picks👍 love you and your channel. I don't know what I would possibly change, but I adore it when you talk Disney! ✌️️

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

Oooh, I would love to talk about Disney more!

[@gaytreehugger8631]

I really enjoyed all of your read-a-thon vlogs! They were definitely my favorite to watch

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

Yay! I love making those. I'll be participating in the Holiday Booktubeathon at the end of the year so a readathon vlog will be one of my first videos of 2017 :)

[@MerrilyKristin]

One of my best friends (not on BookTube) read The Rook and she's been RAVING about it to me since last year! I really want to read that one too. And Station Eleven. I've been meaning to get to the for ages! Also ACOMAF!!!! And Six of Crows is okay IMO but Crooked Kingdom is EVERYTHING

[@fernandagreco4287]

I was so surprised when she mentioned Stiletto! I love The Rook and never seen anyone who has also read it on booktube!!

[@leostevland9262]

I really love your HP analysis/discussion videos. It be cool if you did that with other books/shows too :)

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

Oooh, that would be so much fun. I have way too good a time doing discussions about books/shows in my life as it is, so videos would just be an excuse to do one of my favorite things. I would be curious if people were interested in certain books or shows too...

[@FabianRamoss]

The thing about ACOTAR is that you're going either hate it or love it. But even if you hate it give the 2nd a try! But if you love ACOTAR I bet you're going to hate it or you're not going to like it anymore after you read the second one. I know it's weird. About your videos I thinks it's awesome what you done with your channel. Just keep doing what you're doing! Enjoy doing what you love because it shows in your videos. Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@leyo6056]

OMG, I love you already! I really wanna read Simon Vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, Aristotle & Dante Discover The Secrets of the Universe, and The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue next year! c:

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue is 100% my most anticipated release for next year. I CANNOT WAIT to get my hands on it.

[@avie3937]

I love when you participate in tags, your reviews, if you like this then try that series, HP chats and TBRs 😊 A Court of Mist and Fury is really good so I suggest blasting through the first book asap

[@alexandernadirashvili1162]

HP chats and hauls are by far my favorite videos!

[@charityyoder9028]

SIX OF CROWS!!! I just finished crooked kingdom the other day. they're fabulous.

[@singinwithceline]

I love your HP Chats and favorites videos! But I'd also love to know more about other stuff you're into, like play reviews.

[@harrypottergleestarwarsdis4817]

I want to read the lovely bones this year too

[@kimberlya7267]

the lovely bones is on my TBR for 2017 too. pretty sure it's also the one on the top of my list lol for being there the longest.

[@squeezie_b8895]

It's weird, but pretty good.

[@LaLemonie]

It's so interesting that these lists work for you, because it absolutely doesn't for me. It's one of the reason I would suck as a booktuber, cause I can't keep up with any schedule haha. The only thing that sort of works and push me to read more is the goodreads challenge. So I don't really have exact books to read planned, but I should really start reading the books I bought in previous years and that stand sadly on my bookshelves :D I enjoy lot of the top 5 videos from you. I would also like to see maybe some themed recommendations (I think you did some in the past, f.e. the pairing of a book and a song, and I really enjoyed that. I would like to see more of that, like books that reminded you of this and that, or "if you liked this, try that"). Probably not very helpful lol. I will watch your videos anyways cause I really like your content already :-)

[@harrypottergleestarwarsdis4817]

I need to finsh a court of thrones and roses this year and read a court of mist and furry

[@racheljordan5450]

I'd love to see a general new years resolution video :)

[@harrypottergleestarwarsdis4817]

I have to read six of crows this year too

[@Kirsikka7]

I check your channel for "gems". The same big books get mentioned by every one, not surprisingly, we WANT to read them. However I want that little known, not often mentioned books as well. Something new and fresh from your perspective as a book tuber. Thanks, keep,it coming:)

[@squeezie_b8895]

In Cold Blood is a good book, but it's important to note Capote's bias towards one of the main characters.

[@abibliophobe2731]

I enjoyed the Lovely bones. The author also has a memoir called Lucky and it was good but dark.

[@ShalomDove]

"Six of Crows" and "Of Fire and Stars" are both on my list for 2017...along with a couple of other 2016 releases that I couldn't quite squeeze in (including "American Housewives") Personally, I've enjoyed everything you've been doing with your videos this year. Keep up the good work :)

[@constantconnie]

I loved in cold blood! Though it Took me a few chapters to get used to his writing. (I feel bad saying I enjoyed it , since it was a true story) Acotar was a good fairytale ! Acomaf was like a good fairy tail on crack :) Still have station eleven on my tbr shelf too! Maybe I will read in the month when you say you're reading it.

[@BluInfinity]

Chequey Files FTW! I was madly in love with The Rook and greatly enjoyed Stiletto. Myfawny (you said it correctly) is not the main character in the sequel but a key player.

[@harrypottergleestarwarsdis4817]

I want to read mara Wilson's book this year too

[@catolah3505]

The Lovely Bones is about a girl who was kidnapped and murdered by a neighbor of hers, and it's about her looking down on her family from heaven as they try to catch her killer and move on from her death. i've tried to read this so many times, but each time i have to put it down because i was crying about something on every page. i hope you're able to get through it, as i have never been able to haha

[@PaganBibliophile13]

Have you pre-ordered a copy of Star-Crossed by Barbara Dee, yet? It's a middle-grade novel, coming out this year, about an 8th grade girl who is bi and gets cast to play Romeo opposite the cute British exchange student she has been crushing on. The author wrote it as a responce to her own daughter coming out to her as bisexual. As to what I'd like to see on your channel in 2017, can we get some longer, more in-depth reviews of books?

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

I have been hearing about Star-Crossed a lot! I think I saw a post all about it that her daughter made on tumblr. I haven't preordered but I would love to read it!

[@Intothesunset89]

Just added the Rook to be my TBR, sounds like everything I love.

[@ollie3534]

You should totally do more tags, lists, and just fun videos with Janel :3

[@sirjedisentinel]

A little late, but what I'd like to see from you: Reviewing fan suggestions. I just started getting into your channel, but it seems ("seems" is the key word. I could very well be wrong) like a lot of what you read is stuff you either find yourself or books that the authors send to you for review. Who knows what would happen?

[@karaadams269]

I haven't heard good things about the lovely bones :( Also, I really enjoy your HP chats!!!

[@jaimeheather]

I love all your videos, but my favourite booktube videos are mainly the ones where someone picks a category/genre and will list books that fit that category/genre (idk if that makes sense)

[@Alice_Tiburcio]

I bought The Rook back in May and still haven't read it. Now it's on the top of my list for 2017 thanks to your excitement for the second book. :D

[@AudiobooksToday]

Station Eleven came out a while back. Interviewed the author. Great book.

[@BaileeWalsh]

I've read In Cold Blood and I don't know if it will happen for you, but there's 4 parts to the book, and when I got to the 2nd part it was slow! But once I finished part 2 I read the rest of the book in a couple of days. So, again, I don't know if it will happen for you but just saying that Part 2 for me was slow. Also, the movie adaptation you watched, Capote (2005), was more of a film about the writing of In Cold Blood. There's an adaptation of the actual book that was made in 1967. I'm a new subscriber, so I'm not too familiar with what videos you make most of the time, but I love books and I love film more! So anything about books and movies, I'm in! This reminds me that I need to make a list of books I want to read in the next year!

[@melissakaye840]

In Cold Blood is one of my favorite books of all time! George was pretty great too!

[@DaniellysDiazASL]

So I've been really enjoying all your videos thus far and I do have an idea that I saw on booktube (I don't remember from whom) that I think you'll really like and be fantastic at accomplishing. It's essentially books that can be categorized by a Hogwart's house. I'm curious to see what books seem more Slytherin to you versus more Hufflepuff and the like. Either way - love all your videos and the fact that you bring a variety of different topics to your discussions that aren't normally seen on other channels. You're automatically on my go-to list for LGBTQIA book recs lol.

[@JackieBorelli]

fun fact: Philip Seymour Hoffman came to my register when I was working at Marshalls in San Francisco in 2012 =) he bought socks, and paid with cash. I was just gawking at him the whole time, I don't know if I actually rang up the socks or not, haha, and then, as he was leaving, I yelled after him "ENJOY THE SOCKS!" and he turned and laughed that signature laugh of his ♡ I miss him.

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

THIS IS SUCH A COOL STORY wow

[@macabregoblin]

I really loved your Spooktacular October Month-Long Thing-a-Ma-Jig Halloween Themed Video Event. I'd love to see it return in 2017, and I'd also love more theme songs!

[@chloemcdermott2978]

You know what I'm making a list for Christmas and hoping I can get some for my jaw surgery recovery time. As I am going to be back at college soon then taken out again for 4 weeks to recover from jaw surgery. I will be pretty much stuck in the house. Hopefully gonna get some books read and do some reviews of my own. I loved your hp 'if you liked this you should try' really want to see what you would recommend for a Bellatrix lover though.

[@lydsyko]

I never saw the film The Lovely Bones either because I didn't want it to ruin my perception of the book if I ever reread it, but this book is very good, can't wait to hear your thoughts. Also, I just started ACOTAR, so I'm interested to hear your thoughts on that as well. I have just added Eon, American Housewives, and Rook to my TBR for this year! As a pansexual, I love hearing your queer book recommendations as well. Hopefully, now that I have a decent webcam and a laptop, I'll be able to post some more of my own videos on my booktube channel this year, haha, here's hoping.

[@TheHannieCorner]

I really don't like Bittersweet personally, I'm about a third of the way through and I haven't been able to finish it. It's pretty much a DNF at this point but I don't want to admit it :P

[@Joe_Maysky]

Hi CeCe. Just subbed to you & no clue why as I have toyed with the idea of writing queer fiction and need to read more of it, and you're one of the loudest voices for what's here and queer on booktube! You've got me so excited to check out The Rook series though too, because it reminds me of one of my favorite TV shows, Blindspot.

[@moonbook12]

Seeing bookstores where you lived

[@harrypottergleestarwarsdis4817]

I want read that sires you are taking about

[@NervousVlogmathster]

I picked up Station Eleven from my library after you mentioned it and I wanted to warn you its representation of disability isn't great, it falls into the "disabled people are a burden to able-bodied people" trope. I think if I say much more it would get into spoiler-y territory but once you read the book, I'd be interested in your thoughts on it

[@sherbert48778]

I love recommendation videos and top 5 videos!

[@nerdtastic2014]

A Simple Wish is one of my all time favorite childhood movies!

[@BookCravings]

Nice selection!

[@luizabarreto4849]

YES PLEASE READ SIX OF CROWS IT'S AMAZING!!!

[@pauloribeironeto759]

Cece, regarding the videos I like to see, I love your recommendations of LGBTQIA+ books, series, movies, etc. It would be great if you could continue to do videos like that next year :)

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

Ohhh, recommending LGBTQIA+ stuff besides books would be so much fun. I love talking about the books, but I definitely have recommendations for movies and shows as well.

[@knsawyer182]

Cece I would love if you made a top 2016 booktubers/bookstagrammers :)

[@JJ367]

All of your videos are great. Make sure you keep doing HP chats in 2017 😁

[@ProblemsofaBookNerd]

Don't worry, I could never leave those behind. I'm curious about some topics people might like me to discuss as well!

[@ashley-ww1rx]

Are you excited for 'city of angels and thieves'?

[@scrollsofdragons362]

Six of Crows is right up my alley and have I picked it up? Nope. I want to read that I'm not anticipating is the Kingkiller chronicles, The Shadow of the Wind, The Book Thief and finish The Red Queen series by Mark Lawrence.

[@wordsofclover]

Ah, I used to love The Simple Wish!!

[@13milfweed]

"Court of Thorns and Roses"....meh....turned into a fairly harlequin romance. I finished it but didn't love it enough to read any more in the series. "In Cold Blood" was extremely well-written, yet disturbing. "The Lovely Bones" was simply amazing--I truly loved it. I am totally about to read "The Rook!" You should check out "Almost Infamous" and "John Dies at the End."

[@Justmeluv-f6i]

I read lovely bones I loved it!!! Hope you like it too!!

[@kconfess4281]

i want to read Kings cage by victoria aveyard and more SARAH J MAAS BOOKS

[@constantlyodd5589]

you will ADORE The Lovely Bones!!! It is just absolutely amazing. I was completely BLOWN AWAY. Definitely had some twists and turns that I could not have ever imagined would happen. (if the movie had followed the book, it would not be rated PG-13, it would be rated R AND not as popular because so many people would be flabbergasted).

[@alyssakoch1283]

I love your Harry Potter videos!! More of those would be great! But I also love all of your videos!

[@josefinadiaz3269]

I love that you always shed light on LGBTQIA+ characters and POC as well so seeing more of that would be really fucking awesome 👍🏼
