The SoC duology is based on the Netherlands, mainly Amsterdam (Ketterdam). A lot of names are Dutch (think of people like Jesper and Tante Helen (aunt Helen), as well as Joost and Rutger in the first chapter of SoC. Being Dutch, this duology is incredibly interesting to read! I recognise quite a few things. :)
Also, I don't know if this is in all the copies, but in my SoC copy (paperback) it said that Ketterdam is heavily inspired by Amsterdam and its history.
I think the Wandering Isles are based on Ireland, where I'm from. :D Leigh really emphasized the red hair that is common for people from the Wandering Isles, plus Colm Fahey is from there and that's a very very Irish name lol. I loved figuring out what countries all the different lands were based on!
You should definitely consider reading The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman. This man is a genius and I love him and everything about his books just screams fall
The Astonishing Ashley I'm only a little over 100 pages in so far, so I haven't read much from Wylan, Jesper or Matthias, but I'd probably have to say Inej. I really am liking her backstory and find her character so interesting. But I also loooove Kaz and Nina is great too. :)
Rereads always seem like a great comfort in the fall, and I agree that ASOUE is a wonderful one for re-reading. It's one of those childhood books that I look back on and think, "Yeah, kid. You had good taste."
For me it's not necessarily reread it's actually complete the series 😂 I never completed the series as a kid so last year I found them last year at a public library so I started again :)
Hi from Chile! I always love all your videos and recommendations!!! I don't know if anyone else notice, but when you are going to talk about the last book, you say "video" instead of "book" lol. Not judging, I just found it hilarious! Looking forward for the new video!!! (I'm sorry if I made some mistakes in the comment, I'm still learning how to control English xD)
The illustrated editions of HP are just the perfect books. Can't wait to finally own the entire illustrated collection (IN FREAKING 5 YEARS...!) Lovely recommendations!
Definately agree with the Midwinterblood recommendation! I read it last year and found the atmosphere of it very intriguing. Also Marcus Sedgwick's works are just all around really good.
I read "Midwinterblood" a few years ago and I loved it! I always want to recommend it to people but it's so hard to explain what it's about, I think you did a great job explaining it!
I want the illustrated version of The Chamber of Secrets so bad! And you've convinced me to add Furthermore to my tbr when I'd just decided I wasn't going to read it...
I paused this video to google how much 75 degrees was and wow thats like a good summer day for us in Holland. We live with 50 degrees rn and it's amazing
I think the Shadow Falls series by CC Hunter is perfect to read during the fall because it's a supernatural about all different types of beings like Vampires, Witches, Werewolves, Faeries, shape-shifters, etc and has a lot of mystery embedded in it. That in itself gives me a Halloween vibe, even though these mostly take place during the summer. It's a really fun YA series that I've read like three times already, because they are so good. The characters and the friendship in this story is really was made it for me, which I think is something you would really appreciate.
I recommend The Mad Scientist's Daughter by Cassandra Rose Clarke. That book is not scary but it surely has the mystical vibe and beautiful writing style.
I've owned The Bone Season for so long and I've been wanting to read it! I keep forgetting I own it until I see someone mention it in a video xD I definitely agree that Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom are great reads for the Fall!
Furthermore is more Spring for me xD My fall book would be Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon (Outlander rocks) and the girl on the train kind of has that air, too.
Not a book recommendation, but the synopsis of Six of Crows always reminded me of the TV show Leverage. It's a great series, if you have a chance you should definitely check it out. I think it's still on Netflix. Side note, love your videos!
Please read Marina by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. It's a perfect book for fall/Halloween. It's just a standalone so it won't take much of your time. Haha! Please, Reagan! I so want to hear your thoughts about it. :)
Late fall to late winter is usually pretty much a fantasy streak for me, but then again, I primarily read fantasy/fiction... I guess I'd recommend The Ever Afters series by Shelby Bach, just because it reminds me of Percy Jackson or Harry Potter. It is a middle grade series though.
Don't know if you've read it already, maybe you have in which case I apologize, but I remember really loving to read The Accident Season at that time of year last fall! So if you haven't already I recommend that you check it out :)
Regan have you read Hex that sounds great, Also Battle Royale I seen the first part of the film on TV ,And it sounds like the hunger games was based on the book it looks great The book came out round about 2000 :)
I read Midwinterblood this year! Definitely one of my top 5 books. I've never heard of a Booktuber talking about it! I've held off reading his other books because I was worroed they wouldn't be as good. Any recommendation on which one I should read next?
It always sounds super hot in America but then I remember you use Fahrenheit
it is still incredibly hot in Florida lol its almost 6pm and still 85 degrees. ugh
Tuesday it was 85 and today it is 61....fucking Kentucky weather.
12 in northwest Europe... :") ok I looked it up that's something like 53-54 Fahrenheit
Lily I wish I was where you are lol its too hot here
It always sounds super cold in Europe ;)
This is a perfect time to read/re-read A Monster Calls!
Chattermute especially with the movie coming out soon!!!
Cara Stone Yes! I reread alr! So ready for tmr when I will go watch the movie. :)
It is horrible to wait until the books are translated in my language.... I need The crocked kingdom NOW!!

I love when fantasy is heavily influenced by our world's history. :) It is almost like a treasure hunt.
I think the Wandering Isles are based on Ireland, where I'm from. :D Leigh really emphasized the red hair that is common for people from the Wandering Isles, plus Colm Fahey is from there and that's a very very Irish name lol. I loved figuring out what countries all the different lands were based on!
I believe Leigh Bardugo said some parts of six of crows was based on a specific time period in the netherlands
NICE SO IT IS THE DUTCH REPUBLIC
PeruseProject kingdom...
maybe: the golden age?
Emma L. IM DUTCH YAY, NOW I WANT TO READ IT! NEDERLAND VOOROP WOOOO
Mich Horstman ik ben ook Nederlandse ☺
Woo! Booktubers talking about The Bone Season series yaaaaaasss!!!
Rachel Hesketh OMG YASSS a clockwork kitten talked about the bone season from time to time
You should definitely consider reading The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman. This man is a genius and I love him and everything about his books just screams fall
I'm currently reading Six of Crows now and it's amazing so far.
Who's your favorite character so far?
The Astonishing Ashley I'm only a little over 100 pages in so far, so I haven't read much from Wylan, Jesper or Matthias, but I'd probably have to say Inej. I really am liking her backstory and find her character so interesting. But I also loooove Kaz and Nina is great too. :)
It's hard to pick a favorite character when they are all so great! 😊
I loveeeeeeeeeee the bone season. It might become one of my favorite series
This is a very dangerous video to watch for my bank account... #addictiontobooks
Whatever you do....DO NOT go to Book Outlet's site. My bank account is a little sad after that hit....LOL
The Astonishing Ashley Same! Shopping on Book Outlet can be very dangerous and addicting!
The Astonishing Ashley Yeah I definitely learned my lesson with Book Outlet 😂
Your hand gestures are everything 😂
I LOVED Six of Crows, can't wait to read Crooked Kingdom! And yes, Harry Potter is great for fall! School stories usually are :)
A series of unfortunate events (and HP) is for me the best fall read
Rereads always seem like a great comfort in the fall, and I agree that ASOUE is a wonderful one for re-reading. It's one of those childhood books that I look back on and think, "Yeah, kid. You had good taste."
For me it's not necessarily reread it's actually complete the series 😂 I never completed the series as a kid so last year I found them last year at a public library so I started again :)
Did you get the new illustrated version of Chamber of Secrets?
Not yet, I wanna reread the series cos I never finished it the first time :00 but I've seen a few pics and it looks amazing!
It is incredible! It is a must have for HP fans.

Lovely recommendations!
Can't wait to start Crooked Kingdom!! I agree on it being a perfect fall read
I read the Grisha trilogy this summer and now am reading Six of Crows in autumn. Already pre-ordered Crooked Kingdom
Literally read The Bone Season earlier this month, it was soooo good! Not at all what I was expecting but just amazing
Definately agree with the Midwinterblood recommendation! I read it last year and found the atmosphere of it very intriguing. Also Marcus Sedgwick's works are just all around really good.
I read "Midwinterblood" a few years ago and I loved it! I always want to recommend it to people but it's so hard to explain what it's about, I think you did a great job explaining it!
I'm reading Midwinterblood right now
4:58 "And the last VIDEO i'm gonna recommend..." xD
I want the illustrated version of The Chamber of Secrets so bad! And you've convinced me to add Furthermore to my tbr when I'd just decided I wasn't going to read it...
Six of Crows duology...PERFECT
Regan, I LOVE that you are a history major because I am too!
I had to read Midwinterblood for my LMED class a couple years ago...happy to hear you liked it! For me, it was written with a VERY heavy hand.
u make every book sounds soooo interesting! looking forward to read six of crows :D
I paused this video to google how much 75 degrees was and wow thats like a good summer day for us in Holland. We live with 50 degrees rn and it's amazing

The bone season sounds so good!
I'm on Deathly Hallows at the moment, it's my first full read through 😮🙀 and I can't believe I got to 28 before reading them! So good for fall!
I recommend The Mad Scientist's Daughter by Cassandra Rose Clarke. That book is not scary but it surely has the mystical vibe and beautiful writing style.
I love the bone season ! Cannot wait for the third book to come out. I already pre-ordered it :D
I loooove The Bone Season recommendation. I can't wait for the third one to get out!
I've owned The Bone Season for so long and I've been wanting to read it! I keep forgetting I own it until I see someone mention it in a video xD I definitely agree that Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom are great reads for the Fall!
I just finished Crooked Kingdom, I freaking loved it! I want more!
I love your recommendation videos! Those and your wrap ups are my favorite videos of you
I love the Six of Crows ♥♥♥ I can't wait to reread them already!!
I'm kind of in the mood to re-read the falling kingdoms series by Morgan Rhodes and Harry Potter of course
Love your recommendations! I'm so excited to read Crooked Kingdom.
Pleaseeee, continue doing your vlogs! I loved them💕
My jaw dropped to the floor when I checked out how many Celsius degrees 75 fahrenheit is! Lucky you! I live in Norway - not so warm here :S
I love reading more thrillers/mysteries during Fall/Halloween. So I highly recommend Dark Places by Gillian Flynn!
I feel like I need to check out Miswinterblood now. reminds me of The Giving Tree in a weird way. lol
-Jessica
The Bone Season sounds a little bit like Sens8 (Netflix show) to me. Love your videos, greetings from Mexico :)))
Furthermore is more Spring for me xD
My fall book would be Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon (Outlander rocks) and the girl on the train kind of has that air, too.
that shirt is so cute, i NEED it! haha :)
I've been wondering for ages whether I should read Six of Crows and then when you said Dutch/Venetian merchants I was just like okay yes I am sold!
I just picked up IT by Stephen King as my October halloween read :O I really want to pick up six of crows :D
Good luck!! IT'S HUGGGEEE! My sister read it in high school and said that it's insanely long, but incredibly worth it.
thank you! i need it, it is a beast of a book but i am so so excited :D I've heard only great things.
It's 44 degrees here in Maryland
Jamie Dillard Lol. It's below 0 Where I am.
Aris Ali where in Maryland do you live??? It hasn't gotten lower than 65 I think in Baltimore !
I've never heard of midwinter blood before... it sounds interesting though. I might check that one out
Why you so pretty girl? ;)
leigh bardugo said it was dutch merchants that inspired her. it was from an interview video
The Bone Season sounds like it has the same plot as The Young Elites by Marie Lu
Not a book recommendation, but the synopsis of Six of Crows always reminded me of the TV show Leverage. It's a great series, if you have a chance you should definitely check it out. I think it's still on Netflix.
Side note, love your videos!
Lol. It's below 0 degrees here in Canada.
I had no idea those HP Illustrated editions existed, now I have to buy them
Also, I like your shirt a lot :)
Will love to hear your thoughts on crooked kingdom! 💕

Don't know if you've read it already, maybe you have in which case I apologize, but I remember really loving to read The Accident Season at that time of year last fall! So if you haven't already I recommend that you check it out :)
Read The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. It's the perfect Halloween/fall read, creepy yet satisfying and of course Neil Gaiman.
I would say that you should read Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake this fall. I think you'd really enjoy it.
Love six of crows!
I really need to read the rest of the bone season series. I read the first book and loved but I never got round the the second.
Reagan you should read the wheel of time series. By robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson!!! especially for fall
I'm rereading a series of unfortunate events (for the tv show, and the sake of halloween) and I'm read the HP series for the first time

I read Midwinterblood this year! Definitely one of my top 5 books. I've never heard of a Booktuber talking about it! I've held off reading his other books because I was worroed they wouldn't be as good. Any recommendation on which one I should read next?
