      Bunny Senpai me too lol. Book tube has inspired me to read more and I've read tons since

    • @veiledseeker
      @veiledseeker Před 7 lety +3

      tbh, I was in that position but like Bunny Senpai said, it really has made me read again and I am enjoying it more and more again.

    Really love the fact that I stumbled on your channel by accident (first time autoplay didn't annoy me)! Definitely keeping an eye out for all the new videos !

  • @MissRamos79
    @MissRamos79 Před 8 lety

    I loved Fire and Flood! And the follow up in the series! I have had Incarnate on my shelf for years now. After hearing your description, I am going to add it higher up in my TBR pile!

  • @corey5914
    @corey5914 Před 7 lety +5

    AHH ur bookshelves are so different I actually like ur current ones better

  • @desertrose0601
    @desertrose0601 Před 7 lety

    Great suggestions! I had a few of these on my TBR list, but most of them I hadn't heard of! They all sound very interesting though. The only one of these I've (tried to) read was Magonia - I'm about halfway through and it's kind of meh. I thought it was an interesting premise but I've been having trouble getting into it. I will probably try to finish it at some point though.

  • @desiv3025
    @desiv3025 Před 7 lety +1

    the Magonia cover art is so so pretty 😍😍

  • @BohoBookworm
    @BohoBookworm Před 8 lety

    Heard lovely things about Night Owls - your brief synopsis was intriguing as well! Definitely want to try pick it up. Everything Lead to You sounds LOVELY!!

  • @aflowerthatcannotbebloomed

    Incarnate is definetely on my TBR shelf right now. I always thought the cover was beautiful but never was really interested until now because never knew the summary. Fire and Flood has been sitting on my shelf for soooo long. I also need to read the Disenchantments now, because you sold me on that when you said the word hippy

    @bookmarksthespot8753 Před 8 lety

    the Incarnate trilogy sounds so good! I really liked hearing about some underrated books because sometimes you get so lost in the current popular ones that you skip out on some other potentially cool books. Awesome video!

  • @junnacarlapaje2341

    I've actually been very interested in the Snow Like Ashes series after hearing you talk about it so much. Hopefully I'll get to it early 2016! :)

  • @carly1628
    @carly1628 Před 8 lety

    Thanks for the recommendations! I don't read a lot of historical fiction, but PoNaF sounds great! You should check out The Star Thief by Jamie Grey! It's fantastically written and so underrate. The main character also reminded me of Celaena!

  • @sandraareads
    @sandraareads Před 8 lety +1

    I own Incarnate and Snow Like Ashes so I really need to read those. They sound amazing :)

  • @thebookarcher
    @thebookarcher Před 8 lety

    I can't wait to read Ice Like Fire I just hauled it and it reminded me how good Snow Like Ashes was. I own the entire Incarnate trilogy so that's def. on my 2016 tbr! Also I agree with you about wanting to just browse and checkout random books. Surprisedly there aren't a ton of releases I'm highly anticipating next year so it's the perfect time for me to discover some hidden gems :-)

  • @adelexrees
    @adelexrees Před 8 lety

    You're one of the first booktubers I started watching and it amazes me how many books you have read and ugh, you're so pretty and I just love watching your videos, I take on all your recommendations and humph. This is a mess of a comment but yeah, thank you for making these videos.

    I am about to start Conspiracy of Blood and Smoke cause I finished the first book not that long ago and LOVED it so I am super excited to read it! :)

  • @anais_4291
    @anais_4291 Před 8 lety

    This video is fabulous ! Thank you for some great books recommendations , will have to check snow like ashes out because throne of glass is my favourite ! And I love fire and flood so much ( maybe it's because it's similar to the hunger games so it was familiar and comforting :D

    • @HaileyinBookland

    @RyanofLordran Před 8 lety

    I'm currently reading The Book Thief and am about to read Shadow of the Wind which i've been told is awesome! Now i'm quite a slow reader due to the small ammount of time i have to read, but i would really appreciate it if u could make like some list of books that are similar type of writing, this depth of meaning to the story combined with the amazing experience!

  • @WhitnyeK86

    @SheilaArellano Před 6 lety

    Incarnate sounds like it would be a wild ride! I will definitely check it out, maybe go to the Indigo by my house and grab a copy, thanks for the recommendation. I also did a video like this on my channel, I find that there are so many hidden gems in need of sooo much more attention

  • @mayday9273

    Hailey, if you don't mind me asking, did you ever participate in Odyssey of the Mind?

  • @joleencoppolo2817
    @joleencoppolo2817 Před 8 lety

    You should read Hold Still by Nina Lacour, that was the first book I read by her, and just made me fall in love with her writing.

  • @tessgoughstalker8201
    @tessgoughstalker8201 Před 7 lety

  • @ManiacalReader

    The Newsoul trilogy sounds interesting. I haven't that much about Fire and Flood duology, so I'll have to check that out sometime.

  • @adrianneconstant7986

  • @SillyMilly

  • @brittanycarlson724
    @brittanycarlson724 Před 7 lety

    Should I read books that I don't really like? I have found a genre that I really like but my mum says I should read more of a variety! I agree with her, I would like to be more diverse and I would love to enjoy things like fantasy but I just don't like it! Any tips?

  • @ronjarovardotter1745
    @ronjarovardotter1745 Před 8 lety +15

    Prisoner of Night and Fog sounds SO interesting... It's funny because I've actually been wanting to read a book about a young girl who has some kind of close relationship with Hitler so that actually sounds like a perfect series for me! :D

    • @HaileyinBookland

      @twoidentitties3221 Před 8 lety +1

      I may be quite late with this comment :) But I just read the boy at the top of the hill and it is just about as brilliant as all of John Boyne's books and I think it really picks up on the dilusion of Hitler. I can only recommend :)

    Magonia was so confusing to me, it could be so good. And is Prisoner of the night a bit like Wolf by Wolf or totally different?

  • @shannonreid2497
    @shannonreid2497 Před 8 lety

    Read Tell the Wolves I'm Home! I never see anyone talking about this book even though it's amazing. It was a very character driven novel, but I couldn't put it down. I've never warmed up to characters so quickly before. As soon as I was introduced to them I was attached.

  • @cuteclau
    @cuteclau Před 8 lety

    I thought I'd read Night Owls next... I found it, but it's not available for purchase on Amazon (for my kindle). That's the first time it happens, and I don't understand why. Interestingly enough, now I want to read it even more.

    @Jetpussentertainment Před 8 lety

    I recently bought the Anna and the French Kiss "trilogy" I think I'm not sure, they might be companion novels? Anyway, I noticed with yours as well the Isla one is smaller because of the publishing company! Does that bug you as much as it bugs me? Haha anyone else?

  • @mansivaid3100
    @mansivaid3100 Před 7 lety

    I think one of the most underrated series is The Rosewood series by Katrina Abbott. It's a must read!

    Prisoner of Night and Fog sounds so good! I'm not really a fan of contemporary either and you recommended really good books:) Ingarnate sounds so amazing, also
    i've just filmed a book haul and unboxing, that i'd love for you to check out! :)

  • @LithiumxLacrymosa
    @LithiumxLacrymosa Před 8 lety +1

    My favorite underrated book is The Devil's Diadem by Sara Douglass! I just read it and it's full of surprise. It's a standalone fantasy book about a young woman in 12th century England. There's some court politics, religion/ancient magic and strong female characters in it, so if you get the chance I would really recommend it! I haven't heard anyone about it on booktube and it came out in 2011! I picked it up because over the cover haha, so glad it was worth it, definitely a hidden gem as you said. :)

  • @helenm1750
    @helenm1750 Před 6 lety

    You should read The Black Book of Secrets by F.E Higgins, it's really good and super underrated

  • @saphora672
    @saphora672 Před 8 lety

    A lot of my favorite underrated books are actually German (cause I'm from Germany), and never have been translated into English.. But there is one book from an english author, who is called Catherine Fisher and the book is called 'Incarceron'. This book is so unique, I have never read something similar before. So I really recommend checking it out :)

    • @HaileyinBookland
      @HaileyinBookland  Před 8 lety

  • @ReadingMissFroggy
    @ReadingMissFroggy Před 8 lety

    I liked the idea of Magonia but I felt like there wasn't enough world building for me (and Aza was annoying as hell xD)
    Added a whole bunch of these books to my wishlist :)

  • @CooleenBooks
    @CooleenBooks Před 8 lety

    I'm actually surprised that Snow Like Ashes is underhyped . I read it and enjoyed it, it was unique in its own way.
    I remembered that the book was hyped up before it was released, but I haven't really heard much people talk about it :/

  • @cecilyplum845
    @cecilyplum845 Před 8 lety

    I'm not sure how underrated her books are - I basically live in a book bubble - but there's this British author called Celia Rees who has written some amazing YA books, and no-one I talk to has ever heard of them most of them are sort of historical, but they are really good, and they aren't about balls and the Ton and things like that. They're a little different, and I just thought you might like to hear about them.
