As you were talking about the Spanish Love Deception I remembered that someone I know was reading it recently and I asked her for her thoughts. She said "I wish I hadn't thought, and I hope I never think about it again", thought you might relate to that sentiment

I donât think a recommendation has ever made me want to read a book as much as your rec for Sorcery of Thorns! Sounds literally perfect so i canât wait to pick it up
Our reading tastes are so different, but I just adore listening to you talk about books! Your videos are so soothing and eloquent. Iâm glad youâve been having a good reading year so far đ
I used to have a very different taste as well but Hannah's opinions gave me such a different outlook on some books that I didn't consider before and now I can't unsee some problematic aspects in books. Also I found some really interesting books that I wouldn't otherwise read as they were not really my style...
omg finally someone on youtube put the Spanish love deception on their worst reads, that shit was so atrocious. I literally reconsidered the life choices that led me to the point of reading that book. Aside from misery, it also put me in the biggest reading slump where I was thrown off by reading as a hobby.
Update: this is the first book Iâve ever officially dnf. I made it to chapter 8 and it just wasnât the vibe. Romance books are so predictable nowadays
When you said Yona of the Dawn jumpstarted your reading for the year that was literally me this year. I started reading Attack on Titan for the Anime, then I started reading more manga and then it just snowballed into reading books. Definitely got me out of my 4+ year reading slump.
starless sea was definitely the book that made me happiest this year -- the gorgeous prose, the underground library, the mystery, the cats...tysm hannah for getting me to read it!!!
Even in the midst of finishing my master's program and working full-time, I absolutely tore through both of the Six of Crows books this month because you recommended them so highly
OMGG THE SIX OF CROWS DUOLOGY IS SERIOUSLY SO GOOD!! I READ BOTH BOOKS REALLY QUICKLY TOO BECAUSE I REALLY WAS IMMEDIATELY SO INVESTED !!!!! ALSO WISHING YOU THE BEST WITH FINISHING YOUR MASTERS PROGRAM !! âșïžâ€ïž
An updated "Hannah List" of books you were talking about in the beginning sounds so good đ I just know that if I read everything on that list, my life would never be the same again
I, by some weird happenstance, received the notification for this video as I was filling out what may be a potential all-time favorite in the « A Clockwork Reader » reading journal đâ€ïž
I was feeling very down cause today has been really tiring and I saw that you uploaded a video on Twitter and it just made me so so soooo happy. Your videos really calm me a lot and I am so excited to just hear you talk about booksđđ P.S: I legit bought Sorcery Of Thorns the day after I watched your reading vlog on it. I am really liking it so farđ
Iâm so happy that you are reading more and enjoying a lot of books this year. Also pleaaase read âAristotle and Dante dive into the waters of the worldâ if you havenât already. I personally loved this sequel even more than I loved the first book and I think that you will definitely like it too
She said in other video that it was one book she was waiting, so i guess she had readen the book or is in process. Maybe we are going to watch a vlog about it.
your taste is truly just immaculate! i ended sorcery of thorns last year but admittedly didnât give it a fair chance, and your enjoyment of it in the last vlog led to me picking it up and now i ADORE THIS STORY!! the atmosphere is just so magical - it really does make you feel like youâve been swept away. thank you for introducing me to a new fav! yona is also one of my favourite series with one of my most favourite casts ever. my dark vanessa is one of the most thought-provoking books iâve ever read; definitely one of my favorites. i read it a year ago and think about it/revisit it often. iâve heard the opposite of what you said about sally rooney; that normal people is the better conversations w friends! iâve never tried a book by her but conversations w friends sounds much more up my alley so if they really are that similar iâll definitely take your advice.
I also loved âMy dark Vanessaâ. The writing is so beautiful â€ïž Another favourite of mine this year has been âThe seven husbands of Evelyn Hugoâ. I cried so much at the end đ„șâșïž
Iâve been binge watching your videos lately and Iâm so happy to watch this one in real time! Absolutely love your content, thank you for being the only person I know who reads the same books as međ„șđ
Omg thank you. From Blood and Ash made my skin crawl it was so painful to read. So many people are gushing over this book and itâs awful. I instantly judge when someone says itâs their favorite.
I mean there is an audience for anything, just bc you disliked it and someone else does like it doesnât make them a lower person than youâŠâŠ but like when people say ACOTAR is the best book series ever⊠same I definitely judge them đ€Łđ
Iâve been in a reading slump this year, and All My Rage saved me. I have never read her fantasy series, An Ember in the Ashes, but now I want to! The way Sabaa writes, the way she made me feel so much?! The characters were so well developed, and the whole story was so well paced. Gosh, I ADORE her now. And even though Iâm not Pakistani (Iâm Indian), Urdu is very similar to Hindi, and the fact that a language besides English was in the book and that I could read was a whole new experience! I miss the book so much now. đ„čđ„č
all my rage is sooo good omg. it was the type of book that I just felt honoured to have been able to read, and I grew so attached to the characters. definitely recommend!!
I found your channel this year after recently getting back into reading. After working full time and being a more than full time student, I'm proud of myself for prioritizing reading for pleasure. I've read 5 books this year, including the Six of Crows duology which is how I found you. Here's to the latter half of the year!
Finally someone who hated Normal People as much as I did! SORCERY OF THORNS MADE ME FEEL LIKE THE WORLD WAS WORTH LIVING and yona and spyxfam are literally my favorite mangas atm so much happiness from them like furuba before
Sorcery of thorns is one of my all time favorites so excited for the novella that is coming out soon that follows Elizabeth and Nathaniel at a dinner party I believe thereâs not a lot of info yet đ„°
I'm looking for new book tubers to follow using the mid year freak out tag as it's a good way to see someones interests and tastes. Delighted to have discovered you, and I just want to say I so appreciate your calm, patient energy. It's so refreshing to come across a CZcams that takes their time and doesn't rush through their videos at a million miles an hour! Thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INCLUDING MY DARK VANESSA!!! As someone who read that book when I was thirteen, and recently reread it now that I was older, I love that book! I didn't expect much of it, I honestly expected it to be a quick summer read while out on a island with my friends, but instead, I stumbled out of my cabin, sobbing halfway through the book. Wish I could read it for the first time again :)
i just finished sorcery of thorns and IT WAS SO GOOOOD đ it definitely resembled the clockwork series but i actually loved the characters more. I HATE THAT ITS A STANDALONE :(
this is the first video iâve seen from you but we seem to have literally the exact same opinions so iâm so glad to have found you!! đ„°đ„° looking forward to recs from you and will definitely be reading sorcery of thorns!!
Iâve had A Sorcery of Thorns sitting on my shelf for awhile now, but after hearing you talk about it Iâm definitely going to pick it up sooner rather than later!
Hi, Hannah! I saw that you wanted to read The Ones We Burn by Rebecca Mix and you were describing it so well. So I went to Goodreads and read the blurb. I was even more excited to read. Prior to that, I saw the low star rating, and usually I donât read a book based off that, but I scrolled down to see a little bit of reviews, and I immediately had to turn my back on the book. But I just wanted to let you know that the book showcases reverse racism. The author wrote the Black siblings of the book to oppress the poor white people. This is white supremacy, all while people also say that there it is a potentially anti-semitic running situation that ties to a stereotypical blood libel. I say this just so that you can be aware in case youâre not. Totally love your video and have added numerous other books to my TBR. I just read Spy x Family vol. 1 & 2. I took a break in between the third volume and the second volume to read An Ember in the Ashes. After years of hearing you talk about it, I bought it. (I donât know why I didnât sooner). Iâm only 25% through, but Iâm loving itâ€ïž
I love getting recommendations from you!!! I loved the Starless Sea and Shadow and Bone trilogy and I immediately requested Sorcery of Thorns from the library and can't wait to read it
I love this method to just put one book as a "goal" on Goodreads to just simply keep track. You approach reading from a different direction and I guess it motivates you more. I'll give this a try next year! Thanks!
One book i read this month that i ABSOLUTELY love is Every Last Word!! I donât want to give a summary because i feel like iâll unintentionally spoil it but please look it up. It is so good, my heart was beating so much.
the way my tbr just magically gets longer every time you upload?? seriously my tbr's biggest menaceđ€š really tho lol i love your videos and your recommendations teeheeđđ
I feel so bad that you have such an amazing reading journal and I can't afford to buy it because i'm almost alway broke đđđâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž but we're so proud of you Hannah !!
started spy family because of the last video and I'm loving it! I've never read manga before but the premise is so up my alley I just had to. And I'm already halfway through the second one so, THANK YOU
On your recomendation I read Heartstopper not really expecting much. Boy was I wrong, it's an absolut gem, it made me giddy happy and later on I devoured the series on Netflix, rewatching it right after I finished it and then some favorite parts over again. Thank you!
*Best*: either Brandi Carlile's memoir Broken Horses (audiobook with songs interspersed) or This is How You Lose the Time War. *Worst*: Find Me, the sequel to Call Me By Your Name. Dull. *Most Anticipated*: Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds (boy takes an elevator down to confront his brother's killer, told entirely in verse), the Nick and Charlie novella, and What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat by Aubrey Gordon (cohost of the Maintenance Phase podcast).
Yesss Heartstopper devinitely deserves all the hype! I remember discovering it on tapas a few years ago when it only had maybe a couple hundred readers and I absolutely loved it, it makes me so happy to see that now almost everybody is reading it and loving it and aaahhh we even got a show! Luv your vids btw Hannah, you always make me smileâ€ïž
I read Sorcery of Thorns in the beginning of the year and Im so happy to say that it will be a sequel of a hundred of pages comming next year in january đI cant wait so Im going to pre-order it
đš omg I'm early!! Hi Hanna I'm a huge fan, and you made me a manga and anime lover!! Everything you've recommended I've watched and read đ I know I'm a bit weird but there so good!!
i have been following you for a number of years now and i can quite confidently say you'll enjoy alone with you in the ether based on all your past videos! please please read it soon cause i'm dying to know what you think. it's truly some of the most vivid, raw, beautiful descriptions of falling in love and mental health by blake.
I would've never imagined that u would mention YONA OF THE DAWN in this video, AND BIG YES OMG it has been my favorite manga for whole years, also yess with the picture of dorian gray âš
THE WAY I SCREAMED FROM JOY WHEN YOU MENTIONED SPY Ă FAMILY!!!! I HAVE ADORED THAT MANGA FOR YEARS NOW. I'M SO HAPPY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVES IT AAAAAHHHH
there's so much I want to comment, but I am on the clock (don't tell HR). but I love so many of your answers! I'm sorry One Last Stop didnt meet your expectations. Im currently rereading it and taking my time, crying and hugging my copy every time I'm done with a chapter. I want to read Alone with You in the Ether, and hope to get to it this year! đ
Please do another rant video for the worst books you've ever read. The public deserves a part 3
iâve been considering it hahah
I second this
I third this
@@AClockworkReader we'd love it!

I love that Hannah hated A Little Life so much that she just decided to never talk about it again
She clarified that she read it last year even though the video was posted this year! đ

Prior to that, I saw the low star rating, and usually I donât read a book based off that, but I scrolled down to see a little bit of reviews, and I immediately had to turn my back on the book.

This is white supremacy, all while people also say that there it is a potentially anti-semitic running situation that ties to a stereotypical blood libel.
I say this just so that you can be aware in case youâre not.
Totally love your video and have added numerous other books to my TBR.
I just read Spy x Family vol. 1 & 2. I took a break in between the third volume and the second volume to read An Ember in the Ashes. After years of hearing you talk about it, I bought it. (I donât know why I didnât sooner). Iâm only 25% through, but Iâm loving itâ€ïž

*Best*: either Brandi Carlile's memoir Broken Horses (audiobook with songs interspersed) or This is How You Lose the Time War. *Worst*: Find Me, the sequel to Call Me By Your Name. Dull. *Most Anticipated*: Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds (boy takes an elevator down to confront his brother's killer, told entirely in verse), the Nick and Charlie novella, and What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat by Aubrey Gordon (cohost of the Maintenance Phase podcast).
Thanks for spending your time helping us to find good reads.
When ur entire bookshelf is just hannah recommendations
Yesss Heartstopper devinitely deserves all the hype! I remember discovering it on tapas a few years ago when it only had maybe a couple hundred readers and I absolutely loved it, it makes me so happy to see that now almost everybody is reading it and loving it and aaahhh we even got a show! Luv your vids btw Hannah, you always make me smileâ€ïž
You talking about books you hate with the most calming voice ever is my asmr
I read Sorcery of Thorns in the beginning of the year and Im so happy to say that it will be a sequel of a hundred of pages comming next year in january đI cant wait so Im going to pre-order it

By the way, I've bought your journal, and it's so good! I'm always using it, it's truly a life saver ! Thank you so much đ

đš omg I'm early!! Hi Hanna I'm a huge fan, and you made me a manga and anime lover!! Everything you've recommended I've watched and read đ I know I'm a bit weird but there so good!!
not weird at all! so glad you've been enjoying what you've watched/read! đ
No way your last mid year tag was a year ago I swear I remember it like it was yesterday! (and not because Iâve rewatched it a lot lol)
girl i'm so happy i found your page!!
In Brazil, "Sorcery of Thorns" (Feitiço dos Espinhos) itŽs so expensive, but this channel made me buy it.
No regrets, just love it!
I've read a total of 2,5 books this so far this year which isn't a lot but it's better than last year and that does make me happy.
I did not expect someone recommending 5 centimeters per second at all. Glad you did :)
Sorcery of thorns was what got me back to reading again during the pandemic. I LOVED IT!
if you guys like sorcery of thorns, i highly recommend the authorâs other books, like an enchantment of ravens ! super cute romance and magical read
hannah, the heartstopper yearbook comes out in october this year too!!
i have been following you for a number of years now and i can quite confidently say you'll enjoy alone with you in the ether based on all your past videos! please please read it soon cause i'm dying to know what you think. it's truly some of the most vivid, raw, beautiful descriptions of falling in love and mental health by blake.
I would've never imagined that u would mention YONA OF THE DAWN in this video, AND BIG YES OMG it has been my favorite manga for whole years, also yess with the picture of dorian gray âš
THE WAY I SCREAMED FROM JOY WHEN YOU MENTIONED SPY Ă FAMILY!!!! I HAVE ADORED THAT MANGA FOR YEARS NOW. I'M SO HAPPY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVES IT AAAAAHHHH
My tbr has grown exponentially and you are to thankđđ
'I don't think I sobbed at any book this year'
* flashbacks to A Little Life reading vlog *
but we dont talk about that...
I hadn't heard of The Ones we Burn yet but girl- based on your description I have a new book to buy-
same for me, I was surprised by how much I loved My Dark Vanessa and absolutely hated A Little Life
I have lost all sense of time too. The cover for Sorcery of Thorns doesn't evoke Studio Ghibli atmosphere for me, but now I am intrigued.
It's been my plan to read The picture of Dorian Gray and My Dark Vanessa for so long!!
Ah! I have been waiting for this one from you! Love your videosđ
I watched your vlog multiple times and was waiting for a new video!!!â€â€â€
Now I want to read Sorcery of Thorns because you enjoyed the book đ so much. You are my go to person for book recs .
Heartstopper was definitely a major part of my list as well this year!
there's so much I want to comment, but I am on the clock (don't tell HR).
but I love so many of your answers!
I'm sorry One Last Stop didnt meet your expectations.
Im currently rereading it and taking my time, crying and hugging my copy every time I'm done with a chapter.
I want to read Alone with You in the Ether, and hope to get to it this year!
đ
Hannahh you're spoiling us!!! Id love to see you reread and do a full spoilary discussion of the night circus after years of first reading it !
iâve actually been considering that!!!
@@AClockworkReader we would love that đ id watch anything by you anyway and im soo happy you're posting frequently
yes the ones we burn!! i just read an arc of it and it was sooo amazing! loved this video
all my rage was heartbreaking but so good
Another video so soon?? Made my day!
