    Literally started the video, and was like ohh i like your bookcase and then you whipped out Ready Player One!!!! my heart stopped and I literally stopped what I was doing to comment! That is literally my favourite book ever! I listened to it on Audible and I fell in love!

    I really want to read Outlander mostly because I live in Scotland. I also really want to watch the show mostly because some of it got filmed exactly where I live (Kilmarnock) which is just really cool to think about. Also I have heard tons of great things about the show and books!☺

    @lisalikesbooks6082 Před 8 lety

    You loved a bunch of books I've been meaning to get to FOREVER. I can't tell you how long I've had those Morgan Matson books on my TBR. Second Chance Summer is literally collecting dust on my shelf. Sigh. Haha. Also Outlander never seemed like a book that I would jump to read, but so many people have been raving about it that I've been wanting to buy it for, like, a year. xD

  • @shakira1702
    @shakira1702 Před 8 lety

    Goodness! I think the majority of your favorites for 2015 are on my tbr. I did read A Court of Thorns and Roses, which was my first Sara J. Maas book. I did enjoy it and plan on reading her other works at some point. I currently trying to get through the books that I own before I venture into new territory- re-reading Harry Potter,starting Lord of the Rings, Stars Wars Triology, Chronicles of Narnia.Oh to read Emma( I got the penguin classics deluxe edition- can't wait to read it and add to my Rory Gilmore and Classics list). I believe after I get through all of that,Bahaha, I'll definately want to read Sophie Kinsella and Morgan Matson!

      small warning, I read it because of the hype, and it kind of goes down from the beginning. If I had read "cheshire grin" one more time, I would scream. Phrase repetition is not really my fave.

      As a teacher of middle school students, I completely agree. I hate seeing them read it. They need to learn about suicide in a completely different way. Trash

      @tylerl.2268 Před 8 lety +7

      +theadventuresofmeeee I personally think that it really opens your eyes. It helps you realize that everything you do has repercussions and the possibility to hurt someone.

    • @theadventuresofmeeee
      @theadventuresofmeeee Před 8 lety +6

      Harry Potter Equals Life 123 the writing was elementary, and it tackled suicide in such an immature and almost laughable way when it should have been serious/haunting. bad writing/ bad plot, and very whiny. but to each their own

    I really want to read "Thirteen reasons why" and "Ready Player One"! The fact that you chose them for your favorite books of 2015 makes me impatient to buy them very soon ^^
    I have not read this book from Gayle Forman, but the one that I also really want to read is "I was here".

    Just One Day was my favorite of 2013. I loved that book so much and still get urges to re-read it every now and again. I think maybe I just read it at a really good time in my life. Ugh, love. Anyway, my fave this year was The Dream Thieves closely followed by Six of Crows!

  • @cori4727
    @cori4727 Před 8 lety

    If you like Sophie Kinsella, you'd probably also like Meg Cabot. Her books are also awesome and hilarious. I'd definitely suggest Queen Of Babble (which actually has a sort of similar concept to Can You Keep A Secret? but everything unfolds much differently).
    My favorite book of 2015 (quite possibly all time now?)... definitely Song Of Achilles by Madeline Miller. Such a great book. I just want to tell everyone about it!

    One of my favourite books of 2015 was I'll Meet You There by Heather Demetrios! I'd been excited to read it even before it came out, but it was even better than I expected! It reminds me a bit of a Morgan Matson book, so I thought you'd enjoy it :)

    I don't really want to read Thirteen Reasons Why because it's sounds really messed up. To commit suicide, then haunt the people who are still alive by leaving tapes, telling them why they led her to kill herself. That's bullshit.

    I won Ready Player One from a giveaway back in June but the book never came :( So I still have yet to read it :(
    I absolutely loved Thirteen Reasons Why!!! Such an amazing story! I read it back in 2014 and its still one of my favourites!
    The Emperors Babe sounds so interesting!!
    I own Bloodlines but I haven't read it yet! Same with Since You Been Gone!

    Hi Zoe,
    Really nice picks. I read a lot of books on 2015 but I will definitely recommend you "Everything I Never Told You" by Celeste Ng, it´s kind of a sad book but it´s awesome and I think you will like it. I will also recommend the series "Nought and Crosses" by Malorie Blackman, is just amazing ;). And finally I think you will love Misery by Stephen King. Hope you like them and thanks for your nice videos =).
