    I've finished rereading Deathly Hallows five minutes ago, and wow. Reading and rereading Harry Potter is such an amazing experience, and...the feels. Always.

    I'm currently 105 pages into City Of Thieves and only put it down when I saw the notification on my phone for this video :') It's SO GOOD!!!!

    I'm a watcher not really an engager but just wanted to let you know you're my favorite booktuber. I was watching a booktube queue on the living room tv when my husband sat down to watch. Your video came up and he said Wow, she actually tells you about the book real quick (versus the previous book videos). I told him that's because you're an amazing booktuber! Lots of other booktubers, who I really like, struggle a lot with explaining a book in like a minute without any spoilers. You do such a fantastic job of this! So thank you for all that you do!

    People on Booktube are too generous with the stars

    • @CharlieBookFanatic
      @CharlieBookFanatic Před 8 lety +2

      +Dux Votch I do agree with that! But people review books differently and they have a different explanation for the amount of stars they give. Last month I had 6 four star reads from the 11 books I read. I have a very detailed explanation for all of the ratings I give. Some months it just turns out like that and I think it's a good thing if you enjoy the books you read.

    • @inesribeiro8452
      @inesribeiro8452 Před 8 lety

      It is true for the most famous book tubers (not all of them, of course, but most). However, I think the not-so-well known book tubers tend to be less generous.

    • @ivingzuniga841
      @ivingzuniga841 Před 8 lety

      Agree. Specially the most well known youtubers.

    • @catsandbooks4447

      +Dux Votch I always feel the other way around, they are always kind of tough in my opinion

    • @carlykerr9801
      @carlykerr9801 Před 8 lety +14

      I could be totally wrong but, I think it depends on why you read books, I find that lots of people who review books are reading the books looking for flaws where as book tubers seem to read them looking for good parts.

  • @Madika92
    @Madika92 Před 8 lety +4

    I came to the conclusion that you're my favourite booktuber ever. The way you talk about books is very ... intelligent? idk, but i get a feeling that I'm listening to a very smart person. And the one who can appreciate something fun. Also how you love fantasy. Your taste in books (out of all booktube) comes closest to mine. When you praise a book i know I'm going to love it too! Plus, I'm from Russia and it kind of feels nice that you're interested in our history, just a bonus. Never change!)))

    I love so much that HP still made the list, even though it was a re-read :)

  • @sarahannereads
    @sarahannereads Před 8 lety +1

    I reread the entire Harry Potter series in December and goodness, it's just wonderful. It gets better and better every time.

  • @kevinkelly_

      I feel the same way, way too many books!

    @SnorriSnibble Před 8 lety +2

    I reread Harry Potter in January after almost 10 years and it was amazing! I have to say, I read all 7 books in 2 weeks or so.

  • @abarone21
    @abarone21 Před 8 lety

    I love how you associated rereading Harry Potter with feeling at home- you put my thoughts into words!

  • @juliannemarie3093
    @juliannemarie3093 Před 8 lety +1

    I'm actually rereading Order of the Phoenix right now so yesss! I totally agree with you - whenever I reread Harry Potter I feel like I'm home. :) great video!

  • @shyyn33
    @shyyn33 Před 8 lety

    Whenever i dont know what to read or when im just too busy to read or when i just want to read....i read Harry Potter LOOL. I recently just got into the HP audiobooks and they are the most amazing things ever. I listen to Jim Dale when im on the bus, when i'm pooping, when im cooking, when im sleeping, just anywhere everywhere, and it's AMAZING. Jim Dale is such a great narrator too, and it's kind of a brand new experience to re-read/re-listen to the HP series by listening to it too, you should try it

  • @JayGTheAwkwardBookworm
    @JayGTheAwkwardBookworm Před 8 lety +1

  • @scarletdancer3823
    @scarletdancer3823 Před 8 lety

    I just started the name of the wind and I love it! I am almost finished. I never read a book so fast especially since it's so long. thanks for the recommendation! can't wait for the second

  • @ellenrooms_writes9047
    @ellenrooms_writes9047 Před 8 lety

    Completely agree with what you said about City of Thieves. Very sad but still somehow funny too. I adored Kolya, he was amazing..

  • @rachelhesketh94
    @rachelhesketh94 Před 8 lety +1

    This past year I've honestly re-read the Harry Potter books over and over again about 3/4 times? I've been doing it via audiobook, and there's just something so addicting to it listening to it- I'll finish Deathly Hallows and then the next minute I can't decide what to listen to next whilst doing work so I'm like 'eehhh, lets just listen to Philosophers' Stone again!' I've JUST started my 5th(?) re-read/listen today and ahh it makes me so happy and at home and that I can constantly quote it in my head yet it doesn't get tiring or old! XD

    • @DontHaveaDegreeinReading
      @DontHaveaDegreeinReading Před 8 lety

      That's an awesome idea! Soon enough you'll be able to recite the whole series my memory. Goals LOL

  • @kaitieskates
    @kaitieskates Před 8 lety

    I've actually had a decent number of 5 star reads since December. So here are the highlights: Gil's All Fright Diner (please read anything and everything by A. Lee Martinez, it's all great), A Nameless Witch (same author, also hilarious), The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender, Finding Audrey, You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost), and This Song Will Save Your Life. An oddball collection for sure but a delightful few months of reading.

  • @michelleli3373
    @michelleli3373 Před 8 lety

    I loved reading the entire Lunar Chronicles which I read for the first time, and within that series, Cress was definitely my favorite. I binge read the series in December and it felt so good to be reading so much!
    Carry On was wonderful as well. It's just really cutesy and interesting, as expected from a Rainbow Rowell book.

  • @pagespaperbacks2867
    @pagespaperbacks2867 Před 8 lety

    I'm also rereading Harry Potter! It makes me sooo freaking happy!
    But Harry in OOTP is... soooo angsty! That's the only thing I didn't really like about it hahah but well, he's going to puberty so I accept it!
    Absolutely love these kind of videos!

  • @Amanda_the_Librarian
    @Amanda_the_Librarian Před 8 lety

    I had kinda of slumpy start to the year so i didn't really read a lot of books in the last 3 months except for Snow Like Ashes and Ice Like Fire by Sara Raasch and the book I am currently reading which is Morning Star by Pierce Brown. Anybody who hasn't read the Red Rising Trilogy, go do so now. It is freaking epic

    @evandicesare Před 8 lety

    Out of the 15 books I've read so far this year, my two favourites have been Truthwitch by Susan Dennard and Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli. Those books are absolutely amazing and I highly recommend them :)

    @bookishblues922 Před 8 lety

    I think my favorit book so far this year must be ''Elantris'' by Brandon Sanderson.

    • @heathernelson7291
      @heathernelson7291 Před 8 lety +1

    • @AdamSlagle
      @AdamSlagle Před 8 lety

      +Momoko Nishino +PeruseProject It's fantasy, and it's the story of a famous man's life as told by him to a "chronicler", kind of a ghost writer. It doesn't have a normal story structure as it mainly follows his life, but Patrick Rothfus has a wonderful command of language. He obsesses over the right wording to use, and it shows. I've read a paragraph of his before and just taken a minute to savor the language he uses.

  • @bucherbuch2134
    @bucherbuch2134 Před 8 lety

    I really wanna read the Falling Kingdoms series, but I'm not sure yet if I want to read it in English or German, my native language. Would you say that it's easy to understand in English or does it contain many "difficult" words or complicated fantasy language? I'd love to hear your opinion about that, guys :)

    • @from26thefloor
      @from26thefloor Před 8 lety

      Definitely the english one. It's not that complicated. If anything, it's quite simple and easy to follow.
