Underrated YA Reads!

[@indiafulcher2342]

Can u start a book club on ur channel where you decide on a book that everyone reads in a month and then you can talk about it.

[@seven-qb7pv]

YES PLS

[@taylorhakimi906]

omg amazing idea

[@polarbearluv2465]

Omg I love you Hailey I am a total bookworm I get bullied at school about it but after school I go on your channel and I literally forget about them for an hour.

[@priyankaghosh312]

I am so sorry you have to live through school life where people get bullied for reading it makes no sense! Did my high school in past decade i.e.00s and earlier part of 2010s and reading was more like badge of honour

💜💜

[@anya3844]

code name verity is one of my favorite books of all time im so glad you brought it up!!

[@stephl6371]

I read My Lady Jane after you recommending it in another video,it was not something I ever would have picked up for myself but I absolutely loved it!

[@SnorriSnibble]

My no.1 underrated YA book is "I am the Messenger" by Markus Zusak. Everyone knows The Book Thief, but I feel like they don't really heard about his other books and I am the Messenger is just as good as The Book Thief! Also "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller. I just love this book, the relationship in it is so beautiful, it killed me... everyone should read this!

[@jillianbean281]

Kristina Ma omg “I Am The Messenger” is sooo good! Any time someone asks for a recommendation I tell them to give it a try!

[@teezka]

Yes, Scythe! When I finished this book I was just blown away. It's sooo good and the plot is really unique. Can't wait for a next book.

[@sapphireblue6668]

I don't know if it's just me but I am so obssessed with this channel. I mean, just looking at books that I haven't seen yet, it's like a new opportunity for me. I really love your channel, Hailey. The criticism and the love you give for the books you have is very helpful and sharing your appreciation of books to the world convinces me that I definitely can relate to you.

[@tianakanani374]

100k!!!!!! I just refreshed my screen and it went up!! Congrats!

[@lilis8243]

Ahhh I loved My Lady Jane and Scythe!!

[@p33kab00cm]

Totally agree about "Scythe". I loved that book so much and I was so sad that there weren't more people talking about it.

[@diffrentwonderland8326]

how I watch like every booktube Video: listen what you're saying about the book. Searching the german name of the book. Then I look in the Website of the local library if it's there. And when there's a book which actually is in german and in my library I'm reaaally happy (sry for bad english)

[@danap7425]

DiffrentWonderland same haha

[@helenaquarck7681]

DiffrentWonderland sameee

[@maxparr4277]

ONLY 50 SUBS AND THEN WE ARE 100 THOUSAND READERS LETS GO BOOK WORMS. SO PROUD HAILEY LOVING YOUR VIDEOS

[@daSLIC55]

You're Welcome, Universe is AMAZING. I finished it the other day and I'm obsessed with it!

[@amritasengupta5251]

Congrats Hailey. 100000 subscribers now. You had 88k when I started watching :) So you would be getting your silver button and your university degree this year. Congrats for both. Much love ♡

[@seriouslythisisjust]

yesss Gemma Doyle and His Fair Assassin some other underrated or lesser known books on my shelf are the Queen's Thief Trilogy by Megan Whalen Turner, The Memoirs of Lady Trent by Marie Brennan, The Farsala Trilogy by Hilari Bell, The Bloody Jack Adventures by L. A. Meyer, The Chronicles of Faerie by O. R. Melling, everything by Patricia A. McKillip... and probably a lot more that I can't think of right now

[@samvw5072]

Congrats with the 100.000 subs👍❤

[@HaileyinBookland]

Thank you so much! Ahhhhh! 💜

[@jessavila3127]

I totally agree with a List Of Cages, it crushed my heart! I really want to read about Nun Assassins now!! That sounds epic.

[@alyssa.h]

you are so close to 100k subs I'm so proud! I started watching at 19k which yeah isn't that long ago but still.

Alyssa Arts sameeee 🎉👌

[@Chinsupsweet]

Your bookshelf is goals ❤️💛💚💙💜 Also, I'm a new subscriber and absolutely adore your videos, giving me such inspiration for books 📚 thank you, love from England xx

[@nicotheitaliancornplant6784]

Congtaukagions on 100k!!! I can't believe I've watched you since 37k! You totally deserve it!

[@emilyyoung7188]

I know that this series was popular a while ago, but I've hardly heard anyone talk about the Unbecoming of Mara Dyer series in a while I read them a few months ago and absolutely flew through them because they were so amazing!! 😍😍

[@tiaramiranda3678]

found your channel literally at 12 am this morning & watched this video & next thing i know i'm ordering three of these books at 1:30 in the morning. can't wait til they're in my hands!

[@isabellasales5263]

yess, a list of cages and the female of the species deserve a lot more love! i love these books so much

[@valeriecramer5172]

The Gemma Doyle Trilogy yessss!!!!! I first read a great and terrible beauty as a teenager when it first came out (must be like 12 or so years now, yikes) and I followed the series through. To this day they remain my favorite books of all time and I've actually been planning a reread because it's been a while. So happy to hear someone talking about these books! You're right that they don't seem to get enough attention.

[@RCGrulz]

Yes scythe was so good omg!!! It had a lot of kinda trope-y aspects but it was so well done, totally worth the read

[@BeautywithFlavia]

You should read You by Caroline Kepnes! It's soooo good! Deff my favorite read! I'm in love with it! It's sooo underrated and it's been made into a show currently. It's told in second person perspective and it's about this guy who's basically a pyschopath named Joe and falls completely in love with this girl named Beck! But seriously it's SOOO good!

[@TheeKookyWildflower]

You is a fine read. I didn't care for its sequel, Hidden Bodies, as it completely sways from the character's personality into ridiculous territory.

[@evareads2817]

I finished A List of Cages yesterday and I LOVED it!!

[@haleythomas5854]

I'm so happy you mentioned The Conspiracy of Us!! I love this trilogy so far, and can't wait for the final book!

[@gabriellebenoit8750]

Hailey!! I read "The Female of the Species" because of you and omg I cannot stop thinking about it. I'm going to give you a recommendation, as I read this right after TFOTS and it left a similar imprint on my mind and heart. Try "Every Last Word." It involves poetry and OCD. Hope you enjoy!

[@byalexy93]

The host by Stephenie Meyer is so underrated and I love that book! So much better than the twilight saga! And so before it's time, it was dystopian before they became popular!

[@Retaleloota]

Salla Simukka's "as red as blood" trilogy is SO underrated! I love it sooo much!

[@desireemclaughlin1455]

Scythe is so good. Definitely among my favorites so far this year.

[@julijajeknic1502]

i love your new bookshelf setup

[@BohoBookworm]

I've actually heard a fair bit about You're Welcome Universe and cannot wait to get my hands on it! Also heard of Scythe the other day, sounds brilliant too! I really want to read The Female of the Species too!!

[@CuriosityRocks]

Your bookshelves are so organised and pretty

[@peddlingpages9065]

Scythe was such an AMAZING book! I still need to read Walk the Earth a Stranger though...

[@beckylou6714]

OMG YOURE 7 OFF 100,000 Congrats in advance- you deserve every subscriber!!!!!

[@ReadingMissFroggy]

Some that I really love that I feel are underrated are indeed The Crown's Game (Evelyne Skye), Born Wicked (Jessica Spotswood), Starcrossed (Josephine Angelini), Insignia (S.J. Kincaid), Die for Me (Amy Plum), Air Awakens (Elise Kova) and Insomnia (J.R. Johansson). Just naming a few, I have tons xD

[@harasnicole]

I'm planning on re-reading the Gemma Doyle trilogy within the next couple of months. I made it halfway through The Sweet Far Thing before I got overwhelmed by the amount I was reading at the time. It's been 10 years, and I can't wait to get back into that story.

[@jkmacrunnel]

I also adored Code Name Verity, The Conspiracy of Us, Grave Mercy, and Walk on Earth a Stranger! Great list! A whole bunch on there I still need to read :)

[@Efryd]

Walk on Earth is so great - also the first book i've read that actually acknowlegdes periods

[@TheBookishPenbabe]

the outro music gets me so hype and happy 😩😂

[@boneseasonofglass5962]

I admire that you make so many videos each week, you're amazing :)

[@marid2891]

"Jellicoe Road" by Melina Marchetta!!!!! This is a beautiful book. You go through a roller coaster of emotions reading it. I was actually surprised by how many people have never heard of this writer! I went on a binge & read all her books earlier this year and Jellicoe was my favorite

[@katapetrezselyem7206]

I loooove the Gemma Doyle trilogy, it is still one of my favorites ♥️ also My Lady Jane and Code Name Verity are on my TBR, can't wait to read those ones

[@ΚωνσταντιναΞανθοπουλου-ξ5λ]

Omg! I'm in the first 3 comments! I feel SO PROUD! I love your videos and can't wait for more recommendations!!! With love, from Greece 💘

[@michaela_444]

I haven't read any of these so definitely adding a few of these to my TBR! Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers - you deserve it!!

[@jessicapatterson492]

You started with one of my favorite trilogies! Now I want to go reread them!

[@harshishah5205]

100K!!!! Congratulations Hailey. You deserve it!

[@katelyncripps9597]

Ilysm hailey! You're so close to 100k congrats!

[@whatdoreads]

I have never heard of Code Name Verity, but it sounds really interesting, I have put it on my TBR-list. I recently bought A List of Cages and I can't wait to read it.. Besides Booktube I never heard anyone talking about it.. Lovely video btw, your content is so unique and inspiring! :)

[@selenamarie8068]

Omg Grave Mercy! First person I’ve seen talk about it!! This was a while ago but still, I loved that book

[@SamanthaSteMarie]

I just picked up the first two books in the Gemma Doyle series and I’m so exited to start them!!

[@kaitlinjoy8855]

THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING CODE NAME VERITY! It's my favorite book of all time but has almost no presence on BookTube

[@jennifermiller464]

I'm so glad you reached 100 K! I think what you do is really important

[@shannonhollandbeck5384]

100k subs! Congrats, Hailey!!!!

[@TheBookishGinger]

I really enjoyed Grave Mercy and it's companion novels. I also think that it's pretty underrated. And yes to My Lady Jane!! Such a good book!! I have recommended it so many times now. Especially the audiobook, so good.

[@emschincs1555]

Congrats on 100,000 subscribers Hailey!! 😭💕

[@katherinecole1019]

All of these suggestions are great! My TBR just got longer haha. Also congratulations on 100k!!

[@CricutWithHanin]

Flip by Martyn Bedford. Never heard of it on booktube, but when I read it *my friend made a presentation about it in a class* I really enjoyed it!

[@littleprincessmermai]

HAPPY 100k!!!

[@blogviajera]

I love the Gemma Doyle trilogy 💓. I'm currently rereading the trillogy because I love it so much 😄.

[@ketowithbecca7330]

Wow I love hearing about new books that rarely get talked about on booktube!! YAY ur almost at 100k!!

[@Katesbookdate]

Grave Mercy is SO GOOD

[@bookcaterpillar2222]

Yes! I agree about Walk on Earth a Stranger!

[@ordinaryperson_98]

I realy liked the first book from the Pledge trilogy by Kimberly Derting, but those book are so underrated that there are no german copies of the other two book's. Really great video, I'm definitely looking for those books. :)

[@teganlily7400]

Code Name Verity is actually amazing!!! Probably my favourite book this year actually. So good.

[@ninadeneve7785]

Tegan Lily YES, im reading it right now and loving it so much!

[@DaniqueEmiliaSteinfeld]

Just 1 person under 100.000 (subscribers)!!! Congrats in advance! I hope that's correct English, it's not my main language..

[@alexxherondale1491]

Congrats on 100K SO well deserved! love you and your videos!

[@balou99]

Congrats on 100K subs Hailey! so so happy for uuu :)

[@sakurahan91]

Congrats for the 100 subscriptions! That's awesome :). A book that doesn't get as much hype as it should on my shelves is definitely A Discovery Of Witches by Deborah Harkness! It's my favourite book and I don't feel like people talk about it much :(.

[@florence5550]

Congrats on 100K Hailey!!🎉🎉🎉

[@DarkTwinFairy]

I absolutely loved seeing the Gemma Doyle trilogy on your shelf and it being listed as an underrated ... I had gotten the first book from local read it again bookstore and loved it so much that had to get the rest ... since watching your video you have suggested so many books that seem so interesting ... I have currently read the incarnate trilogy and now I'm reading the eon duology which I can't put it down

[@squillivicious]

I absolutely love your channel! I was wondering if you can do a video on your favorite diverse reads? (it can be anything like POC, LGBTQIA+, mental health, disabilities etc) I've been in need of some recommendations!!

[@thereaderstale3685]

I really want to read A List of Cages and Scythe! and congratulations on the 100K subs. I just started my channel and I'm going to review The Female of the Species soon because it's so WONDERFUL!

[@jules4531]

You HAVE to read Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini!! I loved it so much and it's one of my favorite series but I feel like nobody has read it!!!

[@ThatGirlOnYoutube]

ive recently found you in my reccommended because ive started to read again (I go in waves of reading tonnes then not reading for months, ive currently read 3 books in 5 days...). Think i'll check out a few of these books if i can find them in my bookstores, if not ill look online...

[@TheeKookyWildflower]

Female of the Species is a good book. Great to see it on your list.

[@AbigailD23]

GEMMA DOYLE

[@ginafugate7122]

Cute video - loved all the suggestions! Some books that I feel are underrated reads are actually 2 different series. The first one is the Under the Never Sky trilogy by Veronica Rossi and the other is the Shatter Me series by Taherah Mafi. I absolutely ADORE the writing style, characters, and strong world building in both!!

[@judithvandenberg7894]

Gina Fugate Yeey! I loved the Shatter me- series to! It was awesome and so good!

[@ABASAHPURPLE11]

Lady Jane was one of my impulsive buys and I was SO excited! It made me laugh out loud ;) and Jodi Meadows is amazing

[@Karla-ys9qz]

I will definitely read this list, it's so intriguing and interesting, thanks Hailey 💖

[@MandiLynnWrites]

I was never drawn to My Lady Jane but I think I've give it a look now :)

[@beamingforbooks]

Congrats again on 100,000!!!!!!

[@ArchanaYadav-tq1os]

CONGRATS ON 100K QUEEN! I actually subscribed when you posted your first "underrated reads" video and you were at 30k subscribers! books like shatter me which were in that video now have 250,000 ratings on goodreads lol.

[@Italianamuneca]

I think some of the most underrated books are by Kady Cross. I've read Sisters of Blood and Spirit, and now reading the sequel, Sisters of Salt and Iron, about two twin sisters, one is a ghost and one is living! So good. :D

[@21Aqua]

YOU HAVE 100,000+ SUBS 🎉🎉🎉🎉 CONGRATS

[@lostgirlcosplay14]

I love The Gemma Doyle Trilogy omg it needs more love

[@intheskywithdiamonds934]

Yeeah for mentioning A great and terrible beauty. I was obsessed with it a couple of years ago and I find myself looking for something similar every couple of months. Do you have any recommendations?

[@rachel.7598]

Omg I've been watching you for quite a bit and now you're suddenly at 100K and... wow! Congrats a ton! xo

[@zaynaprasad4934]

The Geek Girl series. Man, those be freaking good.

[@saarahturtle]

The 100 series! I know that the show is very popular, but the book's are amazing too, in my opinion at least. They have had some mediocre reviews, but I personally thought the plot, writing and characters were all great, and the books deserve as much hype as the show.

[@LoveMeSomeSarcasm]

You did a really good job with this video because I'd only heard one 1 book! I'm definitely going to be reading a few of these.

[@ispowell]

Congrats on 100k! Earlier today I was saying how close you are! You deserve every single subscriber and many more! I'm so proud 💛

[@aflowerthatcannotbebloomed]

the gemma doyle trilogy has been on my radar for soooo long haha I finally need to read it. I think the valiant, a list of cages, the bone season, falling kingdoms & my sister rosa are very underhyped. hahaha that book with the deaf main character and graffiti really reminded me of switched at birth

[@HardbackHaven]

Congrats on 100k Hailey! I'm excited to check out a few on this list! Thanks for the recommendations :)

[@victoriagarza2272]

A book that I wish more people would know about is The Afterliving by Fernando Rivera. It was written by someone from my home town and it was absolutely amazing and if anyone wants a copy they are being sold on Amazon. Thanks for reading. Bye!!!

[@aimeebower7424]

So close to 100,000 subscribers! You deserve it!

[@tasnianaimanika843]

I read the 2nd book in the Great and Terrible Beauty trilogy. I loved it so much, but couldn't continue because those books aren't sold in my country.
