What are the best YA books you've read because of Booktube?
The Scythe trilogy for sure! I think you'd really like Dry by Neal Shusterman as well. It's so good. I also love the Nevermoor series because of BookTube and the middle grade/YA fantasy series called The Keeper Of The Lost Cities series by Shannon Messenger.
Scythe!
Scythe definitely rates highly. Also, The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune. It’s more of an age category bender, rather than strictly YA. But yeah, one of my absolute favourites. Autoboyography by Christina Lauren is another. Turned out to be my all time favourite book. Pretty much everything I read is because of booktube, these days. 😂
To All The Boys
Fangirl and I'll give you the sun and didn't regret it
I read “I’ll Give You the Sun” for the first time as a middle-aged woman, and I promise you will love it just as much the second time around. It’s simply wonderful.
All fantastic reads! Our TBR is miles long because of booktube... 😂
I would love to see a challenge where you get a friend to pick and wrap a few books for you where you can’t see the cover, title page, or spine and you read those books. That way you have absolutely no preconceived notions of the book.
Just this week I read Every Heart a Doorway and An Absolutely Remarkable Thing from your recommendations. I enjoyed both. Thanks!
Heads up for everyone who considers reading We Are The Ants: there’s a scene of sexual abuse/attempted rape in it, so make sure you’re okay with reading about stuff like that before you pick it up. 🌸✨
You're so nice
Tysm for the warning, I need to be in a certain headspace to read things like that.
Thank you for recommending Six Of Crows and Shadow And Bone together. I have read Six Of Crows before Shadow And Bone because of booktube and actually I didn’t know that they are related . It wasn’t that bad but I didn’t understand anything when I read the first chapter and I wanted to DNF it but I didn’t and it became one of my favorite books of all time
I also found Scythe, Skyward, The Wayward Children, and Six of Crows because of Booktube. Will have to look for some of the others on your list!
I trust your recommendation so much. I’ve read Scythe and LOVED it. Adding if we were ants and I’ll give you the sun to my library holds.
I love your book recommendations and i also love that lip color! It looks perfect for fall!
I am not a big sci-fi or fantasy reader but you recommended Skyward to me after I read and loved Scythe and I love it so much! I can’t wait for the third book to come out!
I started reading Brandon Sanderson because of you, thanks for the amazing recs
I absolutely loved the Arc of a Scythe series! It's one of my all time favorite 💕 Highly recommend picking it up for those who haven't read it yet!
You’re almost at 90k, aaaah!!! I really loved We Are the Ants. 💙 I also really enjoyed the sci-fi flavour of it!
Yeah I’m reading less YA as well, more adult fantasy than anything. I’m definitely more picky with YA but I still enjoy it! 🙌🏻
I found Brandon Sanderson through booktube! He’s now one of my favourite authors 😁 love your videos!
The best YA series I read bc of booktube is handsdown The Raven Cycle!
I also really like what I've read by Alice Oseman so far (Heartstopper and Radio Silence) and definitely Elizabeth Acevedo!
And I loved Aristotle and Dante, hahah, but I wouldn't know how I would feel about it now, tbh.
@@liamward4618 that's harsh! but I can see how someone wouldn't like the book, I think it's interesting how different we can feel about such things.
Oooooo rereading an old (4+ years ago) favorite might be a fun vlog idea!
I dnfed the Grisha trilogy but adored Six of Crows duology
For me the opposite lol
@Danimate I don’t hate the Grisha trilogy. It just don’t find it interesting
Would love to see a video like this for fantasy, i.e. which fantasy books you read after watching booktube (specifically adult)
If you enjoy Shusterman, I highly recommend his book he co-wrote, "Dry." It's a really good, slightly apocalyptic story, but I will warn you that it does portray the worst aspects of human behavior that have been starting to show in reality this year (at least, in the U.S.)
I read because of Booktube and liked: the To All the Boys I loved Before series, Hurricane Child by Kacen Callender, I'll Give You the Sun, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Birthday by Meredith Russo, We Are Okay, History Is All You Left Me, and The Daughter of the Pirate King duology
These aren't all YA, but some books I read only because you recommended them: More Than This, The Last Policeman trilogy (these were so good), The Sparrow, The Lathe of Heaven. All wonderful! I went through a period of time in my life where I just didn't read at all.. and I'm so happy to be back in it. Thank you Emily and thank you Booktube for reigniting my excitement for reading!!
More than this is one of my favourite books ever, really made me think there was 'more than this' when it came to everything after reading it lmao. Patrick Ness as a whole is so underrated
i haven't read any of the books you've mentioned which is GOOD because now i can add them to my never ending list of books to read. also very excited for your worst ya books video, i find them very entertaining. i know most people get overprotective when a book they love is mentioned but wouldnt life be boring if we all liked the same things?
i'd love to see you read the rithmatist by brandon sanderson! my favourite magical school book that i've read this year 💕
Just finished Scythe and LOVED IT. Have you read/heard of The Ember in the Ashes series by Sabaa Tahir? One of my favorite YA Fantasy series! Also, LOVED Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo and haven't read any of her YA...yet!
I still need to read Scythe! Like I don’t think I’ve heard one bad thing about it
The kind of romance trope you're referring to in Shadow & Bone is a lot like the 'Harem' trope in Anime. But in that, the main character is a male. The kind with the female protagonist is known as a 'Reverse Harem'. The reason that I didn't call this a Reverse Harem is 'cause most of the time, the male protaganist has no personality but the female does. So the romance in Shadow & Bone sounds more like a Harem. (FYI: I'm using my grandfather's account)
more than this is my favorite book in the ya genre. i read it so often, via audible 🤩
I'm currently reading the diviners for the first time because of booktube! I'm 48 pages in and I love it so far! The majority of the books on my shelves are because of booktube! But the best YA ones I have finished reading are Legend (I have the 2nd book of the series, but haven't read it yet) and every heart a doorway (haven't read the others of the serie, just read this one last month!). I was very (happily) surprised by "Beasts made of night" by Tochi Onyebuchi and "The Chaos of standing still" by Jessica Brody (I did not expect anything from those books but was pretty surprised as to how much I enjoyed them!). I'm reading the "Strange the dreamer" duology next and "The city of brass" as well... I also started "The sun is also a star" but I put it on pause because I wanted to read more halloweeny books! Just ordered the 2nd wayward children book as well as the poppy war... Thanks for the tip for six of crows! I was going to order that one next. I don't know why but I never thought that it was related to "Shadows and bones"...
Hahaha I’m corny and I love the Simon Snow books (even though I feel like I am too old for them, they will always have a special place in my heart)!! It’s just a satisfying read!!
Ohh... I still haven't read I'll Give You the Sun! I've owned that one for years... but I better pick it up this summer (summer in Australia that is hehe) I should also check out We are the Ants, I feel like that one is slightly underrated, I mean I've seen it around before when it was first released but I don't hear anyone talking about it as much nowadays
Have you read the Chaos Walking trilogy by Patrick Ness? I absolutely loved it, and very much in Patrick Ness‘ weird wholesome sci-fi style
I enjoyed reading I'll Give you the Sun.
“I like to torture myself”
mood
The Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy by Laini Taylor, pure GOLD!
We Are the Ants is just *chefs kiss*
I really recommend the Fantasy series by Licia Troisi called Guerres du Monde émergé. It's available in Italian, French, German, Dutch, Turkish (to the best of my knowledge). It's a really good YA Fantasy series!!
Random question- what colour and brand of lipstick are you wearing?
the magic system is explained or hinted at enough to be ok for the story of the duology . the trilogy is so not neccessary for the six of crows duology
I read I’ll Give You The Sun around the same time as you and picked it up because of ChristinaMarie on Booktube. I initially disliked the book because of the metaphors but slowly world through them and ended up loving the book. I am also scared to reread it because I am unsure if I’d like it as much especially after reading some many other books since then.
I love the Diviners
I hoped The Winner's Trilogy would be here! I thought they were excellently written and had some of the best character-work I've seen in YA.
Is it considered YA? If it is then yes it should be here!
A room without books is like a body without a soul
Emily please pretty PLEASE try reading "An ember in the ashes" by Sabaa Tahir! It's probably my favorite YA (Which I don't read much of just like you) I would love to know your thoughts on it. Love your videos btw:)
What do you think about ILLUMINAE FILES?
YA books I read after watching booktube:
Six of crows
Alice oseman's radio silence
Turtles all the way down by john green
An absolute remarkable thing by hank green
The Diviners by libba bray (although I dong agree with the hype, I did give it as 3 out of 5 so still a good read)
I loved Scythe and Thunderhead - a bit disappointed by The Toll. I’ve adored the Wayward Children series throughout and cannot wait for book 6 next January 😊 I also liked Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Nine and Crier’s War.
I was also disappointed by The Toll.
I was let down by the very end of the toll, I did not appreciate the direction it took and how the author resolved the problem. It felt like life with extra steps?
Have you ever done comic books or anime book too Emily
I wish my videos would be as professional as yours 🥺 But it’s still fun to watch. 😍❤️
Yes he is, my personal favorite is The Knife of Never Letting Go
100% agree with the Grishaverse series. I'm so glad that I read the Grisha trilogy first because I think I would have been so confused if I'd tried to read Six of Crows without understanding the magic system!
I’m trying to read six of crows without reading the other trilogy and honestly it’s so confusing I was tf is going on and then put it down after reading like 150 pages:(
@@mariamimran3787 The original trilogy definitely helps with the world building (even if you only read book one). There's also spoilers for the trilogy in Crooked Kingdom (i.e. there are characters who appear so you know they "survive" the grisha trilogy) so it you're planning to ever read the entire series then it helps to read the trilogy first
Yes! As someone who only read Six of Crows, I really didn’t understand a lot of it and I ended up not liking the book.
Concept's Forever may be a bit much
I am dying to read we are the ants!!!
Update :it was SOOO GOOOD
Hello Emily. What superpower do you use for not having such bright red lipstick on your teeth??? I am afraid of using such colours because I end up having it on my teeth T_T
you introduced yourself and i thought you said my name haha. i’m emily cox!
I never read Shadow and Bone and understood everything in six of crows. ALthough I can acknowledge that it would have been more easy to read Shadow and Bone first. But its not a MUST at least not for me.
I disagree about Scythe and I agree about Skyward and Shadow and Bone.
I’m still trying to figure out what “Booktube” is. Is it separate from CZcams or does this just refer to the videos that vlog about books?
It's just the book side of youtube (Book + CZcams = Booktube) :)
I completely agree with you on Six of crows. I didnt read the triology before and just went right into Six of crows. Hated it, didn't know anything, DNF after 80 pages.
Same I read like 160 pages and then put it down i thought I was the only one that hated it
@@mariamimran3787 But I don't read fantasy. So I wouldn't take my opinion as relevant on this. But glad to know others don't like it too.
@@martinmartin8135 lmao i mostly read fantasy🤭 but still hated it
@@mariamimran3787 Well. I hope you enjoy your next read more. I am reading Home before Dark right now and I wish I didn't pick it up lol.
@@martinmartin8135 oop- that book is on my tbr is it that bad?
I finished Six of Crows and Crooked kingdom this month and really enjoyed them. Still angry about Matthias.
I looooove we are the ants I wish it was more popular
Doomslug squad!
wow Patrick Ness is one of my favorite authors and yet More than this is my least favorite book of his I've ever read... I wonder why I'm still subscribed to you... (I'm joking! I like your videos even tho sometimes I disagree with your opinions lol)
Didnt think I’d see the Grishaverse books in this list. I’m... surprised 😂 I can’t be the only one who thinks those books (specially SoC) are overrated, right? I thought I saw an unpopular opinion of yours agreeing but I must’ve confused you with someone else. Wouldn’t be the first time I confuse someone online😂
I think she did say they are overrated, but still good.
TheFinalReader she did?? oh good then im not that lost. Goes to say how good the YA genre is going for her if a simply “good” overrated book is included as an honorable mention in a “BEST” list... I have hope though!
I'll give you the sun is such a strange book for me, because I adored Noah's story, but I couldn't stand Jude at all
GOD! YES!
It's so stranger to see people who think like that. I didn't hate her but I couldn't empathize with Jude at all \_(^~^)_/
huh, i just finished i’ll give you the sun, but i really didn’t enjoy it, i barely finished it 🥴 interestingly I disliked the story and the “cliffhanger” rather than the flowery writing...
1 will always be twilight for me sorry not sorry
DOOMSLUG!!!
It's okay dudes. We can watch this YA video even if we don't read YA because No Simp September is over. Don't worry, no one can see you like and subscribe.
I tried The Diviners audiobook but the narrator's voice annoyed me soooooo badly that I had to stop listening after a few hours.
