I love looking at your bookshelf and already knowing what books you're going to be talking about because they're not there! ..... maybe I've watched too many of your videos...... nah.
love rainbow rowell's writing
honestly hailey is just getting PRETTIER AND PRETTIER
IKR!
Only three videos watched and I love you already. I've been looking for a channel like this for months and finally! FINALLY! I've read 80% of the books that you've mentioned here and completely agree with you!!! I love you! I just love you. Keep on making good videos :) I'm gonna watch them all!!!! x x
I have The Fault in our Stars, Paper Towns, My Life Next Door and Everything, Everything and I loved reading them
I haven't read a lot of contemporary books so this will be my new tbr list to change book genres for January :D
SO happy you posted this video - I've been placing orders via Amazon like crazy lately as the island I just moved to has no English bookstores. I've been wondering what to include in my next order. Contemporaries are my favorite.
Knew John Green would make it into this list!
Really want to read Amy & Rodger's Epic Detour - sounds really beautiful.
LOVE Rainbow Rowell's writing :)
I LOVE YOUR RECOMMENDED READS AND IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO DO A CONTEMPORARY EDITION!!:)
I don't understand why "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" has to be even a duology, let alone a trilogy...
But this list is very diverse and interesting, thank you
Seriously love how much you've been posting lately💙
You should read some Nicholas Sparks books! They are the best contemporary reads.
I'm reading Fangirl for the first time and I'm finding it enjoyable but so un-relatable :( haha. I'm 25 so that may explain it but I also never went to university/college. I think I may have enjoyed it more when I was under 21.
You need to read Attachments!! Its so good, the characters are amazing plus their conversations are hilarious!
You should read attachments soon. I just started it and I'm really enjoying it. The characters are absolutely amazing and it's Rainbow Rowell so obviously it's amazing.
Just bought Since You've Been Gone and The Unexpected Everything. So stoked to read them!!
I loved the Anna and the French Kiss series! I'm looking forward to reading To all the boys I've loved before and Everything Everything!!!
I just finished Anna and the french kiss and it such a great and cute book I'm in love with it ❤️and planning to read rest of the series ☺️
Love your passion for reading - it's so refreshing! Ngl I don't see the craze of John green I think his characters are unrealistic in a strange way very similar to your point about them being to intelligent
i'm in the middle of reading the unexpected everything and i'm excited to read some of her other books!
never liked john green's book but then again I read only few chapters of looking for alaska and tfios and I didn't feel like continuing
That happened to me, I got 20 pages into looking for Alaska and wasn't sure about it and now about a year later I've read finished and loved it. So just try again later
Me too!!! I hated the first few pages and I did not even care for the event that it counts the days down to - and ALL of the characters were SO unlikable!!
Give it a try, but don't force yourself to do it, it's a great read I promise!
God! literally I Can relate
I dont like his books either.
John Green is my favorite author too! I have almost all of his books!
I just finished Everything Everything and I had huge issues with the ending so I really perked up with you mentioned it
OMG My favourite book is to all the boys ive loved before! I had no idea there was gonna be a third (although i was hoping) So excited to hear that!
I'm not a great fan of contemporaries but I definitely want to check out anna and the french kiss :)
Fangirl is my favorite Contemporary book/ one of my all time favorite books! it was the first book I read that kick started my love for reading. :)
Been planning to get Just one Day and now i wanna get Night Owls too. Finished john green and rainbow rowell a few months ago
I have Attachments and Eleanor & Park on my shelf to read this summer!!!
hailey i love love love your videos girl!!!!! just wondering, have you heard of the delirium series? they're amazing. if you don't know about them you should seriously check them out. also the septimus heap series.
If you haven't read More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera,you've got too,I just finished it and oh my god...
I really didn´t enjoy the fault in our stars when it came out, but I did like paper towns! Great recommendations, deifnitely feeling like reading something contemorary now!
Ps I love your videos! They are so helpful when I need to find more books
I 💗 your channel! You are by far my favourite book tuber!! What's your favourite book genre??
I read and loved Everything, Everything. I literally went straight from contemporary to horror/sci-fi this month because I'm reading quite a few of Stephen King's books, then I have some Historical Fiction books I have to read (which includes The Book Thief!) so that's pretty much all I'll be doing this month. :)
OMG!!! U are my favorite CZcamsr ever! You deserve a million subscribers!
-Josie😘
YESSS I just purchased the fault in our stars on Saturday
I love Looking for Alaska, can't remember much of it, should re-read it. I'm now reading Amy and Roger's epic detour and Morgan's other books I've bought recently too. And I would love my own Etienne :-)
i dont read that many contemporary but i really want to read some of the books like books of Morgan Matson. This video was lovely
I really want to read Everything Leads to You, it's on my TBR this month but I don't know if I'll get to it!
LOVE To All The Boys I've Loved Before!
I really want to read Since You've Been Gone....it seems so fun!
I really love your videos!!!
Since I know you love Alice in Wonderland, did you ever consider reading Alice and the Red Queen by Christina Henry? :)
Fangirl is the only contemporary I have read and I love it! I read last year during my first year of college and I agree, Cath is really relatable. Fangirl is such a great book.
Omg all these books are on my TBR list lol.....love your channel. What is the tatoo on your wrist?
Loved Attachments
So many of these are on my tbr list and I have no motivation to read right now and it's so annoying
But I liked your video
keep making more you make the best TBRs and recommendations
Just saw the link of bookdepository in your description. Amazing website! thank you!
Awesome video as always. I haven't read any of these books, but I will. They sound awesome! I think I'll especially enjoy Eleanor and Park :D
I'm reading Fangirl right now. I'm loving it. xxx
I just got since you've been gone my Morgan Mattson and I'm loving it sm 😁
It's so good! You're going to love it :)
Speaking of contemporary books, you've got to read 'Tell Me Three Things' by Julie Buxbaum. Oh my gosh. It was amazing. I loved it so much and it was one of my favourite reads in a while. Let me know if you check it out! It's fairly new so I haven't found anyone who's read it yet!
The fault in our stars is not one of my favorites books... But still, very GOOD recommendations!!!!!
Not a huge fan of contemporary, but still realy enjoyed your video! :)
I have only read Fangirl that was in this video but trying to get Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon but cant seem to find it anywhere
My favorite video so far!!
I just finished Fangirl and I loved it!
I am currently reading it and I am loving it!
You've got really beautiful calendar in the background 🙈
What do you mean? What was wrong with the ending of Everything, Everything? Also, your lighting looks cute
I'm so glad that someone enjoyed Night Owls as much as I did :) Not many people talk about it
One of my friends is OBSESSED with Night Owls, so you're not alone. 😂 I haven't read it yet though. ^^
ohmygod yassss!!! I just read it and I absolutely love it
I love To All The Boys Trilogy too, can't wait for the third book next year :)
Athaya Irfan definitely one of my favourite series!❤️❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻
wanna read it so bad❤
Yeah, Now I can't wait to read Always and Forever :3
Hi Hailey! it´s been a few while since i´ve been watching your videos, thanks to you so far i read Fangirl, Ugly love and To all the boys i loved before and im starting The unexpected everything today (and im so so excited about it!!! i love dogs =D) so thank you sososo muuuch!!! Oh and i love John Green too
I love your videos
how was your paris trip?
How I'm so early !! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
What was the message in paper towns?
I really recommend you read 'Weightless' by Kandi Steiner. I cannot stress enough how much I loved that book. I will say it's more on the adult contemporary side, as its got sexual content however it takes place during summer & would most likely be ained at young adults too. Honestly, its gripping from the very beginning so give it a try.
Yes! I am so excited to find someone else who also thinks John Green's characters are too knowledgeable. I love the ideas John and Hank express in their vlogs, but they sometimes seem out of place in John Green's books. His YA characters always seem a little too mature to me.
After watching this video, and a few of your others, I've added quite a few of Morgan Matson's books to my TBR. I can't wait to pick one of her books up:)
Have you read The Year of Secret Assignments by Jaclyn Moriarty? It's a fun contemporary book that I enjoyed reading when I was in high school.
Also, I'm curious to know your opinion on Sarah Dessen's books?
Recommendations for dystopian books that do NOT focus on love triangles?????
What do you guys think of Just Kids?
Does it worth reading?
Could you list the books and their authors in the descriptions?
The Fault in Our Stars made me feel a certain type of way. I can relate to the main character since we have the same illness.
Art CMBDIA sorry I'm a bit late but stay strong❤️❤️
Kris S I just got No Evidence of Cancer yesterday!
Art CMBDIA Congratulations!!! 💕💕💕
Art CMBDIA I also love The Fault In Our Stars
@@CMBDIA i hope that u're doing well 🙏
You look a lot like Phillips Soo. I mean that in a good way.
Gwenyth Rose huh. That's what I was thinking.
Why don't you have any nicholas sparks stories?? They are so great!!
I read the first 2 books in the To all the boys I loved before series. they made me tear up. lol
I actually haven't read The Fault in Our Stars or Looking For Alaska ( yet!) but I love love love Paper Towns. It's fantastic. I enjoyed The Unexpected Everything, Eleanor and Park, Fangirl, Everything Everything, Jenny Han's To All The Boys, and the Stephanie Perkins trilogy too.
+Sarah Lee it's great!
how many books do you read in a month
I like this but I'm not a big contemporary fan I'm more of a Fantasy and historical fiction fan
Please read and review the gallangher girls series by ally carter please please. Everybody like this
I love watching your videos but we have very different taste in books I've noticed after reading a few of your recommendations but I'm 25 so maybe that's why lol
My life next door❤️
i love your video😘
SECOND CHANCE SUMMER IS THE VERY BEST MORGAN MATSON
3APPLEpp yasssss (I dunno why I'm replying to this comment a year later)
umm on your 2016 bookshelf tour didn't you have both of them because they were back to front
how about the truth about forever???
I started since you've been gone and wasn't that much of a fan but i kinda wanna give her books a try again, should I?
Jessica Ta Yes!! You Definitely should. I sometimes get intimidated by how thick her last two book were but it's worth the read. You'll love all her characters and maybe relate to the story?
WAIT, WHAT. Is To All The Boys I Loved Before going to be a trilogy? Ugh. I think I'll let myself get spoiled to see with whom Lara Jean ends up with, because I'm still bitter after the ending of the second book.
U need to read alice in zombieland!
I am trying to find a book but I can't remember its name please help!!!
So the book cover has 2 characters on a balcony and their backs are facing each other, the cover was bluish-purplish I think. The male character's name was Adam, he lived with his dad and brother. And female character loved to watch movies. She smoked too. She went to her neighbor's house because he had movie collection. This went on for some time before he tried to assault her. And then Adam came and beat him up real good. Yeah that's all I can remember.
I bought the Unexpected Everything after you recommended it!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who had issues with the ending of Everything Everything. I loved the rest of the book but I thought the ending was too unrealistic.
im looking up contemp reads because im in a horrible reading slump 😭
dani yeo p
are these books suitable for 12 years and up as i am thinking of getting some for gifts at christmas, anyone can respond if you have read thes books. Thank you. xxx
Molly Evans Yes,I do not think that there is something "unappropriate".
Κατερίνα ΠΚ' yes. Agreed.
Molly Evans depends on how mature you are
I really did not relate to Fangirl at all and I'm in 1st year
Can anyone recommend a channel that reviews primarily non-YA fiction or books aimed at older audiences? Like typical NYT Bestsellers, Pulitzr nominees, big name conetemporary fiction authors etc.
Struggling to find channels which don't focus mainly on books about kids in high school/college age range
jess if you find any let me know and vice versa! :)
Ariel Bissett!
❤️❤️
Have you read colleen hoover books? She's a great contemporary romance author. I love all of her books especially November 9, Slammed, Point of Retreat, Maybe Someday, It Ends with Us and Hopeless.
I need you to be my best friend
What's your tattoo on your wrist mean????
She got it with her sisters; hers is the number 3 as she's the youngest of 3 sisters :)
She said in a previous video it's a tattoo she has with her two sisters. The oldest has a I, the middle has a II, and she has III.
+andrea caro oh cool. I'm newish to her channel so I didn't know lol cute idea!
No prob! I'm pretty new too and I just watched a lot of her old videos and I happened to see that one a couple of days ago! I love sibling tattoos like that.
Notification squad where you at?
Me too!
I wish I have money 😂
