When I was 12 I was so depressed. I would cut and starve myself. But then one day I came across book tube. One girl (aboookatopia) was talking about the Selection series. I went to Barnes and Noble that day and bought it. I fell in love with reading. I would read every minute of every day. I stopped cutting. I started being happy again. I'm currently in my second year of high school. Books saved my life. I'll never stop reading. Stay bold😘
I love how many copies of Alice you have. I collect copies of The Lightning Thief. I get a new one whenever I visit a new country, in that country's native language.
I'm so angry at what they have done to Miss Peregrine's Home. My friend and I have had many discussions on what is wrong with it. Ughhhhh why can't they just stick to the book.
I just did one last year! I don't think I've read enough yet to update it, but once I have I definitely will do an updated one. Here's the old one: czcams.com/video/5qJhx9GTKSY/video.html
Okay I was watching this and you were talking about Tahereh Mafi and you said RANSOM RIGGS WAS HER HUSBAND and now I'm just staring at my screen like "um how the heck did I not know this?!" ...
You really shouldn't care that much about the negative comments. So you misslabeled something, or mentioned pictures and not show them, who the eff cares? You're awesome, and I love your videos, keep it up girl! Kisses!
Thank you! I try not to it's just very frustrating when I work so hard on something and get negative feedback. But the positive does always outweigh the negative, so there is a bright side to focus on 💜
You should read Holly Bourne's 'Am I Normal Yet?' it follows the life of a girl with OCD and Anxiety and deals with her struggles in life. I have both OCD and Anxiety and I related to it so much and I think it is a very good portrayal of living with mental illnesses. I love your bookshelves and videos by the way!
I just recently got the box set for Percy Jackson, and hopefully, I will actually like it. And I am also really excited for The Tales of the Peculiar, and also the illustrated version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!! And I am also currently reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children!! I am also loving Funko Pops too and I also have a lot of them as well. I have about 14 of them! Hahahaha.
I'm so glad that I've found your channel. Honestly I'm not a huge reader of books that are apart from my study books, but I really want to develop an interest in reading! I've read a very few books and enjoyed the experience. I hope I become an avid reader some day. Subscribed :)
Good luck with your classes! English classes were always my favorite in college (I was an English Education major)! I also have a copy of The Sun is Also a Star and I am so excited to read it! I LOVED Everything Everything and hope I enjoy her new one! I just started Throne of Glass yesterday (I know, I'm so late) and I'm really enjoying it so far and hope to read them all before the end of the year. I love her ACOTAR series, so I have high hopes for her other books! I hope you enjoy all you got!!
Looking forward to your required reading list! I'm always intrigued to see what people are required to read for classes, as I never had to do any for my own classes in school. (That edition of The Secret Garden is one of my faves!) I also loved seeing your new Pops! So cute, especially the French bulldog :)
The Phillippa Gregory books are really good, but can be very time consuming! I have read the first two in both her Cousin's War series and the Tudor's series, and although they are my favorite historical fictions, they are somewhat lacking in plot - reads more like a history textbook, primary docs, etc. Would definintely recommend trying to split them up, or read smaller books in-between! Also, please do a POP figure collection video, you have such unique ones! Oh, and I love your shirt, super cute!
Your hair always looks so amazing!! Not sure if you've ever gotten this but I feel like you kind of look like Hailee Steinfeld!!! The Sun Is Also A Star sounds so interesting! Loved your book haul!! :)
AHHH I LOVE A CHRISTMAS CAROL. You're going to love it! I'm not a huge fan of classics at all but there are a few that I have loved like Julius Caesar, Lord of the Flies, The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings, and A Christmas Carol.
I remember the first day when I was at my dads house after we got another German Shepard and a black lab. I left my book on the kitchen counter because our other two German Shepards are well behaved. Ted wasn't. He ripped half of the pages from the middle of the book, there's teeth marks all over the spine and cover. Half of front cover was ripped off and there was holes in the bottom corner in the back. I'd be lucky if I found -0 full pages without a rip or tear.Don't get me wrong Ted's a sweet dog and still only a little over a year so he still has some puppy playfulness and I love him to bits but I still feel sad when I see my first copy of paper towns.
P.S. I Like You was definitely the weakest of Kasie West's contemporary novels :( Personally, I liked the fill-in boyfriend best so you should give that a try maybe! And I am very wary of The Thousandth Floor, I'm afraid it'll be too shallow for my tastes, so let us know what you thought as soon as you finish reading it!
i'm so scared to watch miss peregrine's home for peculiar children film bc I don't want it to be like percy jackson or eragon where they changed too much of the plot in the movie. They have already switched olive and emma's peculiarities and olive is too old and fiona is too young and now idk but I'm still hoping as well and just please tim burton don't let us down
If you guys love romance books check out The infinity + one it is one of the best books I've ever read. There is also the Perfect Chemistry trilogie it is amazing.
I like your bookshelf, books, and this video! I'm trying to read Alice in Wonderland right now, but the covers of your versions look way better than mine!
Great haul. I'm still debating if I want Furthermore. Im current reading Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children in anticipation of the movie. So Tales of the Peculiar sound great too! I'm definitely getting Empire Of Storm and I haven't even gotten through the Throne of Glass series all the way. I couldn't work in the bookstore. I would feel like you might as well take 40% automatically for books lol
I adore Alice in Wonderland too. I totally think you should read Insanity: Mad in Wonderland by Carmeron Jace. It's my favourite series and it makes me so sad that so few people have heard of it!!!
The Thousandth Floor is NOT Sci-fi. It does, however, take place 100 years in the future and we've had time to become more technologically advanced. I read the ARC in May.
Okay that's fine, I didn't know what the author thought. If they don't think it's SciFi then it's probably not. SciFi has just become a loose term nowadays for most things set in the future besides dystopians.
I read Robinson Crusoe years ago and the beginning was so boring... Maybe because I'm not really into sailing :P But once he finally gets on the island it was pretty interesting! I'm reading Empire of Storms and I'm loving it so much :D Furthermore was really cool but the writing style was a bit of a challenging thing to get into for me xD
Great haul. I can't wait to get my hands on The Sun is also a Star. I recently finished reading furthermore and I really enjoyed it. Mafi Slays in whatever she does.
hey I know your probably very busy and have so many books to read, but sometime in the future it would be nice if you could read a book called 'Stella'. Its a really twisted book that took me by surprise as I didn't expect it to be so dark because the blurb makes it look like some cheesy teen movie. I loved it because it surprised me and if you do happen to read it you have to trust me and you truly will be surprised.
I was so excited for this when I saw the stack in the thumbnail 😂 I just want to thank you, I was in a slump and found your channel and I have been reading non stop again since I gave a court of thorns and roses a shot thanks to your reccommendation 😊😊
Your videos are so interesting and nice to watch. I am quite addicted to them :) I am from Italy and I always look on the internet for the books you mention to see if they are translated or not and in any case my wishlist is getting bigger and bigger any video I watch. So thank you :))
I just purchased the constant princess yesterday (my first Phillippa Gregory book and for the same reason that it's first chronologically). Would love to hear your thoughts when you're finished - I probably will not get to mine for a while yet but I'm hoping it's good.
I just discovered your channel and I'm loving it! Actually, you're the first booktuber I've ever watched, and you've introduced me to a whole new world of videos. I was wondering if you've read the Tomorrow, When The War Began series by John Marsden? It's one of those books that we all read in highschool here in Australia & it's a seriously amazing series, I think you would like it :)
Great video! I have read The Secret Garden, Treasure Island, A Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist. They are all great! *.* If you liked A little princess, Anne of Green Gables and The secret Garden, I would definitly recomend Pollyanna. :)
I LOVE the secret garden movie! I bet the book is awesome! The sun is also a star was AMAZING! I've thought about picking up the pink edition of Alice in wonderland forever. It's so gorgeous. I need to pick up ps. I like you! I love all of kasie west books! I hate to hear you didn't enjoy it!
Hi, I'm new so I don't know if you've already done a book review/video on this series, but since you're such a big fan of Alice in Wonderland, you should definitely take a look at 'The Looking Glass Wars' trilogy (if you haven't already). It's a huge retelling of Alice In Wonderland/Through The Looking Glass, except darker and more action packed. It's an amazing read (^_^)
I would say it's a modern classic, but a classic nonetheless. 😊 I have heard that it's really good, but haven't managed to get my hands on a copy of it.
Once you've read the book, you should watch the movie 'The Other Boleyn Girl' with Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson! I really enjoyed it :) Loved the video xx
When I was 12 I was so depressed. I would cut and starve myself. But then one day I came across book tube. One girl (aboookatopia) was talking about the Selection series.

I'm currently in my second year of high school. Books saved my life. I'll never stop reading. Stay bold😘
I'm glad you were able to find happiness! Always stay strong!
😙😙❤❤
same story, except it was the mortal instruments and not the selection series 😅
That is amazing. :)
That is amazing! Wonderful. I also love the selection series
I love how many copies of Alice you have.
I collect copies of The Lightning Thief. I get a new one whenever I visit a new country, in that country's native language.
That is such a beautiful idea!!
Yes, make a video of your Funko POP collection, please :) I just bought new figures from Labyrinth movie and they are so cute - especially Ludo :)
It is so hard to just buy one!
I would love to see a pop vinyl collection! Great video, I need to go to the bookstore soon...
I love funko pops as well! :)
I'm so angry at what they have done to Miss Peregrine's Home. My friend and I have had many discussions on what is wrong with it. Ughhhhh why can't they just stick to the book.
So true. They could have kept at least the characters (sorry for my english, I am french and too tired to care about my horrible english)
I really don't know why I complain that I don't read enough when all I do is watch book hauls 😂😭
Please do a historical fiction reccomend reads!
OMG yes!!... That's my favorite genre and I would love a video about that :D
My personal all time favorite is Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay (story that switches from present days to WWII)
Danae Pongracz I have not read that one but now totally will... It sounds so interesting :D
+Danae Pongracz I love that book, was the first one that had me crying my eyes out ❤
I just did one last year! I don't think I've read enough yet to update it, but once I have I definitely will do an updated one. Here's the old one: czcams.com/video/5qJhx9GTKSY/video.html

Phillipa Gregorys white queen tv show is sooooo so good and underrated! You neeed to watch it!
Yes I did. I am so excited for it, because I really enjoyed the white queen.
You really shouldn't care that much about the negative comments. So you misslabeled something, or mentioned pictures and not show them, who the eff cares? You're awesome, and I love your videos, keep it up girl! Kisses!

Oooh, Mary Queen of Scots? I love the TV show Reign and I feel like I need to read Philippa Gregory's books now!
I just recently got the box set for Percy Jackson, and hopefully, I will actually like it. And I am also really excited for The Tales of the Peculiar, and also the illustrated version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!! And I am also currently reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children!! I am also loving Funko Pops too and I also have a lot of them as well. I have about 14 of them! Hahahaha.
+Jaclyn M I hope I like it. I am also in the middle of a million series as well, so, here is to hoping! 😃
Im soooo excited to read the Sun is Also a Star! as well as the Thousandth Floor :) both sound right up my alley!
I would totally love a POP Vinyl collection video!😍
Could you maybe make a video about what you are studying ?:) i would be hugely interested in such a video!!
I'm so glad that I've found your channel. Honestly I'm not a huge reader of books that are apart from my study books, but I really want to develop an interest in reading! I've read a very few books and enjoyed the experience. I hope I become an avid reader some day. Subscribed :)
I would really like to see a video of all of your pop vinyl dolls!! The Hedwig one always catches my eye in your videos! xx
I definitely would love to see a POP Funko collection video! Keep up the great work!
Good luck with your classes! English classes were always my favorite in college (I was an English Education major)! I also have a copy of The Sun is Also a Star and I am so excited to read it! I LOVED Everything Everything and hope I enjoy her new one! I just started Throne of Glass yesterday (I know, I'm so late) and I'm really enjoying it so far and hope to read them all before the end of the year. I love her ACOTAR series, so I have high hopes for her other books! I hope you enjoy all you got!!
your hair is gorgeous!
i love love love your hair in this video! you're just GORGEOUS
Loved that you added in your funko pop buys! I just got into funko pops. You should totally add them in every month!!
Looking forward to your required reading list! I'm always intrigued to see what people are required to read for classes, as I never had to do any for my own classes in school. (That edition of The Secret Garden is one of my faves!)
I also loved seeing your new Pops! So cute, especially the French bulldog :)
The Other Queen is next on my pile of books to read! I love Philippa Gregory so I hope you like the books!
Please do a pop vinyl collection!
Saw empire of storms in your snapchat 😭😭😭 I'm soo jealous !! 💔💔💔
I love The Sun Is Also A Star

AHHH I LOVE A CHRISTMAS CAROL. You're going to love it! I'm not a huge fan of classics at all but there are a few that I have loved like Julius Caesar, Lord of the Flies, The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings, and A Christmas Carol.
I've noticed some books are missing on your shelf like Everything Everything. Where have they gone?
I FINALLY got my Throne of Glass copy and I am soooo excited! Just started reading but I feel I am going to love it!!!
I remember the first day when I was at my dads house after we got another German Shepard and a black lab. I left my book on the kitchen counter because our other two German Shepards are well behaved.

I'm so jealous that you have an arc of The Sun is also a Star. I loved Everything Everything and I'm so excited to read more from Nicola Yoon.
P.S. I Like You was definitely the weakest of Kasie West's contemporary novels :( Personally, I liked the fill-in boyfriend best so you should give that a try maybe!

I got this is savage song at the library today!!!! (It was in the fall TBR) I only read the first paragraph and I'm dying.
You always have the prettiest classic books!!!
Great haul. I'm still debating if I want Furthermore. Im current reading Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children in anticipation of the movie. So Tales of the Peculiar sound great too! I'm definitely getting Empire Of Storm and I haven't even gotten through the Throne of Glass series all the way. I couldn't work in the bookstore.

I'm reading a Christmas carol too!!!
The Thousandth Floor is NOT Sci-fi. It does, however, take place 100 years in the future and we've had time to become more technologically advanced. I read the ARC in May.
Futuristic books are scifi, not just stuff that takes place in space and has to do with space travel 😁
+Hails Hearts Nyc Exactly, I was about to say
SciFi doesn't always have space and aliens. It just has futuristic elements.
Never said it had to, I know that author of TTF and she considers it to not be sci-fi.
Okay that's fine, I didn't know what the author thought. If they don't think it's SciFi then it's probably not. SciFi has just become a loose term nowadays for most things set in the future besides dystopians.
If you feel like historical fiction, you might like The Lost Crown by Sarah Miller :)
I love historical fiction. :) What's it about?
I could tell you got another Alice in wonderland since you had a little smirk
😂 I HAVE A PROBLEM
"Fantasmagoria", you said it right! You read it like you write it, like in my lenguage (Italian)
So many books! Your bookshelves look so pretty too!
I actually liked A Torch better than Ember In the Ashes. I'm interested to see what you think.
I read Robinson Crusoe years ago and the beginning was so boring... Maybe because I'm not really into sailing :P But once he finally gets on the island it was pretty interesting!
I'm reading Empire of Storms and I'm loving it so much :D
Furthermore was really cool but the writing style was a bit of a challenging thing to get into for me xD

You should totally do a Pop collection!
SO MANY BOOKS! I'm so jealous because I want to work at a book store so bad!!! Great video :)
I would love to see a POP vinyl collection video
I'd love a video on all your funko pops!
A POP collection video would be awesome!
I was so excited for this when I saw the stack in the thumbnail 😂 I just want to thank you, I was in a slump and found your channel and I have been reading non stop again since I gave a court of thorns and roses a shot thanks to your reccommendation 😊😊
Great Video as always! :)
Can't wait to read Furthermore!!
You should read hearts attached if your into romance! I love it💕
amazing videos .The dedication you have for your channel is worth appreciating
Your videos are so interesting and nice to watch. I am quite addicted to them :)
I am from Italy and I always look on the internet for the books you mention to see if they are translated or not and in any case my wishlist is getting bigger and bigger any video I watch. So thank you :))
OMG! Dr. Jekyll and Mr hyde is REALLY good. It will blow up your mind like WHATTTTT.
Jekyll and Hyde is absolutely brilliant😱
Yes! Do a pop doll collection vid! Where do you find those?! I haven't seen any of those!!!

I just discovered your channel and I'm loving it! Actually, you're the first booktuber I've ever watched, and you've introduced me to a whole new world of videos.

You deserve so much more subs..And I loveeeee your videos keep going 😍😍❤❤❤😙😙😙
Can you make us a video about how to analyse an English classic novel ?
I was aproved for a NetGalley arc of The Thousandth Floor and it's really good! I believe I gave it 4/4.5 stars.
Please please read The Killables by Gemma Malley. It is a dystopian based series set in England and I feel you would really enjoy it 😊.
Sooooo many Classics ! LIKE IT :D
can you please do a collection video of all the funko pops you have pleaseeee
Great video! I have read The Secret Garden, Treasure Island, A Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist. They are all great! *.*
If you liked A little princess, Anne of Green Gables and The secret Garden, I would definitly recomend Pollyanna. :)
I LOVE the secret garden movie! I bet the book is awesome!
The sun is also a star was AMAZING!
I've thought about picking up the pink edition of Alice in wonderland forever. It's so gorgeous.

My dog is literally a mix of a daschund and a French bull dog! So funny those two are your favs
Hi, I'm new so I don't know if you've already done a book review/video on this series, but since you're such a big fan of Alice in Wonderland, you should definitely take a look at 'The Looking Glass Wars' trilogy (if you haven't already).

I want to get the little Cheshire Cat statue
could you do Empire of Storms review once you are done reading it?
Your hair looks amazing in this video :)
And the video is also great
I am just going to appreciate that you can't even remember what 'The Forgetting' is about. That is so ironic and hilarous.
I am just getting into historical fiction. Great video! Any recommendations on classics? I want to start reading them.
I read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen earlier this year and really liked it considering I never read classics.
+The Astonishing Ashley even though its a "different" book..I kinda liked a clockwork orange..is that considered a classic?
I would say it's a modern classic, but a classic nonetheless. 😊 I have heard that it's really good, but haven't managed to get my hands on a copy of it.
Apollo on earth is 16, not 12. By the way, I've loved watching this video
I´m so excited for tales of the peculiar! And I agree, you can never have enough copies of Alice in Wonderland :D
Your hair is so pretty!!!
"The comments were like Armageddon." Ahahaha! So sorry for you, but you are hilarious none the less!
Can you make a Percy Jackson the first book book review
Once you've read the book, you should watch the movie 'The Other Boleyn Girl' with Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson! I really enjoyed it :) Loved the video xx
Omg I love your hair so much
plss make a video about your pop dolls! xx ps love your videos♥
your hair looks amazing btw! x
I too have Alice in wonderland mac million edition😊
I have her book the White Princess
My kitten has bitten a chunk out of my Gone Girl book, and I made the mistake of having a bookmark with a tassle.
