You just reminded me that I have an essay due tonight at 12:00 PM. Better get started on that.

[@punkmapleleafs9899]

they both die at the end ruined me for like 3 days. i knew it was going to hurt going in but it was not the punch in the stomach i thought it was- it was like falling down a stone staircase and hitting every single step in a new part of your body. you think by two thirds of the way down there's no way it can hurt anymore, but there's a new pain each time and you can't stop the momentum and avoid the hurt. it's a great book :)

[@AClockworkReader]

Jennifer Saldana me tooooooo

[@pokemonumbreon1]

I love this list! Especially happy to see Rebecca on the list as I'm writing on it for my MA in English Literature as I read it for my undergrad. The only thing (just as it's a major point of the novel and the themes) is that the 'protagonist' of Rebecca isn't called Rebecca. Rebecca is the dead wife and the protagonist is never named which is vital as the book is about how her identity if affected by the remains of Rebecca's presence in the house. Hopefully, that makes sense - I just didn't want you to get confused when reading it but I hope you enjoy it so much, personally I love it :)

[@AClockworkReader]

Thank you for clarifying that! I was actually kind of confused because the summary on the book makes it sound like her name is Rebecca lolll

[@pokemonumbreon1]

Haha it's okay yeah a lot of summaries about Rebecca do that and it's a little disheartening when people don't like the book simply because summaries aren't clear about that so they get confused :')

[@Angelica_Rodriguez39]

Thank you for clarifying this! Rebecca is one of my all time favorite Gothics so when I heard the recap in this video I was like "noooo" 😂

[@momcmahon397]

You should try Neil Gaiman’s books if you like fantasy books. His writing is amazing and whimsical and things. He makes fantastic worlds, I think you’ll love him (if you haven’t read his books before).

[@slimeyvampire5399]

I really loved good omens but I had to read it in two bits becuase I wasn't in the mood suddenly half way through the book 😂😂

[@alisonfabi1081]

Thank you so much for your videos! Since I dont live in an English speaking country but do read English, it’s a bit difficult to keep in touch with all the books and new releases, so this makes me really happy and excited! Definitely subscribed!

[@haleyjones7694]

I read Persepolis for my World Lit class last semester, and I *loved* it. It’s a wonderful story with a great narrator, I hope you really enjoy it!

I'm reading 'All the Light We Cannot See' (Thanks to you!), Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee, and Throne of Glass first!

A Torch Against the Night is also on my TBR! I really want to continue the series, especially since the third one is coming out this year too. Whichwood was also incredible! I loved it even more than Furthermore. And The Language of Thorns is wonderful! I 100% support you reading all of Anna-Marie McLemore’s novels! I adore each and every one of them, but The Weight Of Feathers is my absolute favorite 😍 So glad you’re enjoying it so far!

[@martineguitard7639]

Yay!! I'm happy to see you have read An Ember In The Ashes and loved it! I love this serie so so much! They are in my top 10. I can't wait to read the 3rd book this year!!! 😀 you're the first youtuber I'm following who has read it.

[@rogueknight2769]

His Dark Materials is one of my top favourite series. The Golden Compass is actually my fifth favourite book out of my top 5 favourites and that's because a 9 year old me finally got a kickass female to read about. I would say this book definitely helped me at such a young age and I'm so grateful to the author for writing it. Please give it a read when you have the chance it is amazing.

[@melaniekramkram6956]

I would love to see a video at the end of the year in which you kinda look back at this list and talk about the books you've read and the ones you haven't (like to show how many and which ones you read and so on)

[@TerrigenCrystal]

The Princess Diarist is on my list too! I've listened to one of Carrie's other autobiographies, Wishful Drinking, on audiobook, and her narration is HILARIOUS! Highly recommend.

[@NeffaEntertainment]

I actually am required to read Persepolis for school so I was surprised to see you hold it up 😮 I’m excited to read it along with you and here your thoughts on it as well!!

The book Rebecca is such an awesome read and the cover is to die for plus the old Black and white movie is a must see!!

[@barbara9113]

I love how you just make me want to read more books

[@BreeBuonomo]

You're definitely going to cry reading the Princess Diarist! lol Not only because of who wrote it, but what Carrie talks about is also very emotional! I binged it in a day in December and I highly recommend reading it sooner than later!

[@ejwrites1]

“His Dark Materials” is an AMAZING trilogy!!!

[@LeafTheEph]

The Rebecca cover is absolutely stunning I am in awe😍

[@faithelizabethhunter761]

I read a Tale of Two Cities twice last year. It's so deep but quite slow. I read it because of the Infernal Devices, and the parallels are AMAZING. I fell deeper in love with Will, which seemed impossible, but Dickens & Clare are just beautiful together. Two Cities is 3 books in 1, the first book is really, really slow & doesn't make that much sense. But the story starts tying together in the 2nd book and comes to a heartbreaking conclusion in the 3rd book. I think the hardest part of Dicken's book is that it's plot driven, but has a lot of heavy character sketches. Tedious reading, but gorgeous characters. And Victoria is such a great show! I'm so excited for Season 2!!!

[@BasicallyBrittx]

Aaah I'm so excited to read An Ember in the Ashes now, because it's on my 2018 tbr and I don't know why I haven't picked it up yet! Great to hear that you loved it! I've read the first 2 books in the His Dark Materials and I really enjoyed them! Hopefully I'll read the 3rd one soon :) Good luck with your tbr!

[@haneen2746]

Rebecca by Daphne Du Marier is one of those thriller gothic novels. It has a dark atmosphere and enigmatic characters! I'd recommend reading it around Halloween. Also, check out the 1940 film adaption--it accurately depicts the story and it's in black and white, so I personally thought it added to the whole sinister-vibe !

[@kristalynmaldonado8783]

I love Jane the virgin! I cried about Michael! I never knew her book actually existed till one day I searched the name of the book just to see and there it was. I didn't believe it was real till you just showed it here. Amazing.

[@abee2557]

You got the plot of Rebecca kind of wrong, as a warning for anyone planning on reading it (Rebecca is the name of the dead wife- it's a big point of the novel that the "main character" isn't given a name). It's still a really good book, as is My Cousin Rachel, also by Daphne du Maurier. The film's great too!

Marvin's Square Tie Are you an avid reader?

[@nisharangdal781]

You will NOT regret reading that series, and I hope you do soon because I dread that maybe you'll be exasperated with the number of people telling you to read it and maybe not like it that much idk. But please read it :D

[@Oag1992]

The His Dark Material series is pretty amazing. One of my all time favorite fantasy books and the concept of the Daemons and what they are and represent always intrigued me. I hope you enjoy the series.

[@juliamarie7073]

Just so you know, the angels game actually takes place BEFORE the shadow of the wind so it’s technically a prequel. I didn’t know that going in, so I was super confused at first 😂 but it’s still absolutely breathtaking

Tales From The Shadowhunter Academy is amazing. I wasn't that excited for The Last Hours but after reading this that series was all that was on my mind. I literally can't wait for it to come out. Made me fall in love with James Herondale and Matthew Fairchild. Also great Simon and Jace stuff.

[@avsambart]

I finally got around to the Torch Against the Night this month and oh boy, it's good! I can't believe I have to wait until June now for the next book! So I suggest you read that book closer to the third book's release date. Also His Dark Materials is so good! Definitely get around to that =] this year I finally want to get around to the more fantasy/scifi classics/favourites like Leviathan Wakes, Ready Player One, The Gunslinger, Lies of Locke Lamora, Dracula, Frankenstein, Dragon Rides of Pern etc.
