You're the true hero. Thank you 👍.
Thanks
Its in the decription.. why bother?
*me watching you explain the plot of the first book during the whole coronavirus outbreak:* 😳😳
Yes I thought about this too xd
Hopefully that won't happen 😬
The foreshadowing
When Station Eleven becomes reality in 2020... 😂
I was searching for this comment. Hahaha, so true
@@mdc27 same
Yup😥
Bruuhhhh 😂😂😂
Is it worth reading? Am just a beginner
My TBR has honestly never been as long as it is since I started watching your videos because you have literally the best tastes and I trust you 110% 😂👌🏻
Thank you I cry
WHY IS THIS ME
OMG me too!!.. the first one I bought was the night circus and I loved it soo much!!
Yes!!!! I read it this summer, it was one of my favorite books of the year!! And ever ☺️
PREACH sister :)
The novel “All the light we cannot see” is just so touching and heart wrenching! Please pick it up people!
This is such a weird comment but your voice is so pleasent to listen to, it's like butter for the soul. Also, LOVED this video and thank you for making my TBR a mile long.
TheEllenAndersson "butter for the soul" I second that so much!!
TheEllenAndersson her voice sounds like an audible voice, love it
I so agree with u!!
I AGREEE
So true. And I love that she speaks so fast :D
SLEEP CAN WAIT I HAVE TO WATCH THIS
_i don’t need sleep I need answers_
“The Night Circus” is my absolute favorite standalone book ever! Magical, gorgeous, and breathtaking are the best terms I can come up with to describe this wondrous novel
Really interested about that "books that shaped me" video!!!
Search 'Arya Gupta' on CZcams to purchase books at very low price
To save up to buy a car or watch this video and blow my money on books? I think we all know the answer here.
Ned Fire hahaha don't we all 👌
i'm having exactly the same dilemma
lol don't we
This comment has been me since I got a job 😂😂 like I fail every month then its forget the car do I get a new shelf or more books 😂😂
saaame
Turtles all the way down left me speechless, it was gorgeous
The infernal reader agreed! 😭
I started reading it but at the start I was kind of bored. But I kept reading cause it wasn't bad either. And when I was halfway through, the story blew my mind away. It was amazing and now it's one of my favorite standalones.
omg i just recently finished that book and damn it's recently my fave john green book
Is it easy to read?
The way you talked about Turtles all the way down, IS what I love about reading. Seeing how a book can impact your life so much, and how much you can resonate with a book, is everything I adore about books. Something similar happens to me whenever I talked about Ari and Dante, there's no book that can compare to what it makes me feel everytime I re-read it.
PS. I will be picking up Turtles all the way down, really soon.
As someone who has OCD, I would say that turtles all the way down definitely portrays it pretty accurately. The only thing is, that you have to keep in mind that OCD is completely different for everyone who has it, so while the thought spirals are pretty common, the whole germs thing is kinda irrelevant to a good portion of people with OCD.
I was so happy when you added the perks of being a wallflower to your list!
I absolutely loved it!
My favourite standalone books are:
1. The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
2. The Thing About Jellyfish by Ali Benjamin
3. The Swallow by Charis Cotter
4. The Green Mile by Stephen King
5. Carrie by Stephen King.
Who has read these books as well??
Tried reading Carrie but couldn't finish it. I just couldn't get into it for some reason but I *LOVED* The Green Mile!
The Thing About Jellyfish is one of my favorite books!!!!!
I read Diary of a Young Girl multiple times as a kid. I loved it, but I lost the book 😭
Elena’s Life I've freak the diary of Ann frank
Read Aristotle & Dante last week; it's the best book I've read by far. I love it SO much. ❤
same !!!!! its my favorite book of all time
TheSmalyy IKR. It's so beautiful. ^_^
It is honestly my favourite
Lily Mae YASSS 💞
Prerna Tae I love that book with all my heart👌👌👌❤
All the light we cannot see is beautiful.❤
SO MANY GOOD BOOKS IN THIS LIST! And so fun listening to you talk about them. I just finished Station Eleven and Turtles- loved them both and they are new favorites of mine as well. Added The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender to my TBR list, love your description of this one!
I can’t wait for my family’s reaction to the amount of books I have on my wish list.
Mine tooo..... it's way too much
I can't explain how much I love this list! No one could have described these books any better! Already hooked on this channel
I read The Night Circus because of you and I loved it! I definitely read Eliza and Her Monsters at the right time in my life; I also struggle with anxiety, and I find comfort in drawing. Eliza is one of the most relatable characters I've ever read, and I cherish this book so much!
I have been trying to find someone with the same taste in books and I think I finally found that in you! Can't wait to read the books on this list, thank you!
Omg the way you talked about Turtles all the way down made me tear up!! I have anxiety as well and now I really need to read this book... it's wonderful when you find one that understands you, Im so glad you found it ❤️
I so need to read Turtles All the Way Down- I've heard it is so good!
Have you got around to reading it?
Eliza and Her Monsters and Carry On are two of my favourite stand-alones too! 😊 I had the same sort of experience with A Short History of the Girl Nextdoor as you did with Turtles All the Way Down, I felt like that book was made for me and reflected my own thoughts so well! 💗
A Bookish Balance yas
A Bookish Balance A short History of a girl next door was such an amazing book even though it broke my heart 😭😭💕
“You found me in a constellation” 💗💗
Your description of Turtles All The Way Down almost made me cry. I really want to read it. I think I might buy it next time I have book buying money. Your videos also make me want to reread The Night Circus more than I already have. I read it 5 years ago and while the details are spotty, the magic of that book was something so wonderful for me. It's on my Christmas list this year, so I'm really hoping to get it (heck, 80% of my Christmas list is books and the rest is homeware). Literally half of your list is on my TBR haha :)
Recently started reading The Night Circus because of your videos! I absolutely love it so far. I always picture you as Celia in my head lol
Hannah - "Flu kills everyone"
Me in 2020 - "sounds like the corona virus"
So glad to hear that Perks changed your life as well! and by the way I'd absolutely love to see a video from you about other books that have changed your life!
I love and miss your videos so much! I hope we can get an updated version of this video! Stay safe. Much love ❤️
Hannah: *mentions Carry On*
Me: *immediately subscribes*
Currently listening the Night Circus audiobook! Almost done! And now I really wanna read John Green's new book. I was skeptical about it but I wanna give it a chance now that I've heard how much you enjoyed reading it! Take care! Can't wait for another video~
Yes yes yes, I would love for you to do a “books that changed my life” video. 💞💞
I love you Hannah! You are truly such an inspiration and my favourite booktuber!! ❤️❤️
It’s so precious to see a fellow reader who has these books that they just love SO MUCH and want nothing more than for other people to read and appreciate them as much as they do!
Hey, Hannah. I just wanted to thank you for recommending The Gentlemen's Guide to Vice and Virtue; I finished reading last week and I absolutely LOVED it!! And I also just finished The Inexplicable Logic of My Life, and I adored it, too, as I did Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (which has become a favorite). You have really excellent tastes!
I wanted also, if you haven't tried it, to recommend John Green's Looking For Alaska. It's actually the first John Green book I ever read and remains a favorite to this day. And thank you for making me even more excited for Turtles All the Way Down than I already was!
And, yes, I will read The Night Circus, I promise! It's on my TBR (along a lot of other recommendations by you) and I will get to it!
thank you for uploading this today😊 these pass couple of weeks have been incredibly hard for me and seeing your face always brightens my day
Station eleven is one of my favorites! I’m so happy with how you described/summarized it.. and I agree how underrated it is!
I absolutely trust your opinions on all books one hundred percent. Since watching your videos I have gotten back into reading for pleasure and I can honestly never thank you enough💗💗
Hi Hannah!! I felt the exact same way about John Green- I had read a couple of his books, and honestly thought they were a little overrated. Then, in May of 2016 I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. I went back and reread The Fault in our Stars, and I can't explain how much it mean to me. Thank you for always making content that makes me feel a little more understood
hey how are you doing ?
Kathryn Piasecki Yeah, how are you doing?
I hope you're doing well
How are you doing darling? I hope ur okay.
Hey! How are you doing now?
all the light we cannot see is literally one of my all time favorite standalone books and I'm so happy to hear someone else loves it as much as I do! xx
There's SO many books in this video that i've read and loved! I love your channel so much, I can sit for hours watching your videos! I'm starting my own channel very soon and yours has inspired me to do so! Thank you! Can't wait to watch more of your videos!! Xxx
Well... Turtles All The Way Down is definitely on my TBR now. Didn't think that one would happen!
Storribook I completely recommend it. holy crap, I loved that book
just finished i️t and i️t is so powerful and moving. i️ feel so educated and happy
TATWD fell short for me :/ not sure if it’s because I had my hopes too high because of all the hype or if it’s because I’m not a huge YA fan but I enjoyed it, I only wish there was a big WOW moment towards the end and there wasn’t
Molly LouiseS28 I agree the ending was kind of bland but maybe it’s to show that mental illness doesn’t have a magical cure
Storribook bop no bbp
Yass queen !! Back at it again with the amazing video 😍😘🙌🙏
man, i've been having such a bad week and this video was able to make me happy and put a smile on my face. thank you Hannah, for both the recommendations and for the pick-me-up!!
I love your voice! So soothing! I would love to hear you do an audiobook!
The Gentlemen’s Guide second book is going to be a continuation from where the first book left off but it’s from Felicity’s perspective apparently so I guess it’s just a companion that stands on its own 🤷♀️ That’s what I’ve heard anyway
And then there's a book about the goblin ( Adrien)
Yes please do a video on books that changed your life
omg i've been waiting for booktubers to post these standalone videos!! ready to have my tbr list to grow!!
Started watching your videos because we share a love of The Night Circus! I've added many of your recommendations to my TBR list and this will hopefully help me get back into reading more
Fav book tuber! Her voice is so soothing🔥💯
I absolutely love Turtles all the way down too!!! John Green is one of my favorite authors. Think i should pick up The Night Circus because of u. And I'm planning on rereading Turtles too!🤣 Your voice is amazing 💖
Congratulations; you have unexpectedly made me really want to read Vicious, so thank you!
I’ve just started reading the night circus! I couldn’t stop thinking about you when I saw it on the shelf, so I just had to pick it up. Thank you so much for recommending it! It’s such a beautiful book, so far I’m absolutely loving it!
I had the same experience with Turtles All the Way Down and I'm so glad you loved it. I personally was super excited for it because John Green is my all time favorite author and Looking for Alaska has been my all time favorite book for years. But the anxiety depiction was absolutely perfect and I too cried at many parts because they were just so relatable.
the night circus is genuinely one of my favourite books of all times, I just love it so much
I already bought The Night Circus and I can't wait to read the book! Hearing so many good things about it and you recommend it. ❤
I have only watched a few of your videos I just found this channel. When you mentioned the Night Circus in one of your other videos it was like I lit up with pleasant surprise. I read it for school in grade 9 and was completely enchanted by it. The descriptions in the book are incredible. It definitely makes me want to try reading some of the other books that you enjoyed and recommend
I would love for you to make a video about The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I also read the book at a very specific time in my life and because of Charlie’s story I decided to seek help. Love you lots ❤️
I ordered Aristotle and Dante online as soon as I was done hearing your thoughts on it bcoz your opinion is always so perfect and I've liked every single book you've recommended that I've read
YES please make a video on books that changed/ shaped you!
I read Vicious because of you and I loved it! It was so entertaining the whole way through.
I'm reading Eliza right now and it reminds me so much of me at 15 that it's almost painful but so good at the same time
I find it funny that a few of these are no longer stand-alones.
Thank you for putting this video together! I love seeing what other readers LOVE and why. I'm definitely going to read a few on your list. Also, I had the same experience with Turtles All The Way Down, I read it twice in a row because it spoke to me on a personal level, and is in my current top 5 slots. It was magic.
Thank you for recommending Eliza and Her Monsters - I read it because of this video and now it's one of my favourites.
I bet your TBR isn't as long as mine haahaa but I would recommend The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. The movie doesn't do it justice. I really think you would love it.
Jem.in.a.Bookstore i second that. I was crushed for a couple days after i read it 😔
Jem.in.a.Bookstore I really enjoyed the movie! Why didn't you like it?
Jem.in.a.Bookstore I really enjoyed the movie! Why didn't you like it?
They just missed so much out like he stand over man and the word shaker and I don't know the book was just better for me
Jem.in.a.Bookstore I’ve actually read it but it was so long ago that I don’t remember what happens which is why I didn’t include it on this list. I need to read it!
You finally convinced me to eventually read the night circus
So I have to comment now. I have been watching a lot of your videos for some time now and don't often comment. But I love your calm demeanor and way of talking like you aren't overly "quirky" and still so loveable. Nice video! Will probably pick up Eliza and her Monsters. Really liked Fangirl even though it was a slow-burn.
I am so happy you talked about the felling of being understood, I have anxiety disorder too and I relate to that feeling so so much. I have read some of these books thanks to you and I've fallen in love with them - Vicious and The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender just to name two ❤ A stand-alone recommedation I love so much that you haven't mentioned would be I'll give you the sun - if you haven't read already. I love the storytelling and plot in that book and I want everybody to read it. Thank you so much for the great work and anybody reading this, have a great day!
I read Turtles All the Way Down yesterday and as someone that suffers from depression and anxiety, I 100% agree with everything you said. Everything that Aza experienced from the therapy sessions to the panic attacks were as if they came straight out of my life. I can't wait to reread it 10 more times :)
IM SO HAPPY THAT CARRY ON IS GETTING A SEQUEL IN OCTOBER ! AGGGHHH!
Yes, PLEASE make a video about books that have changed your life or have shaped you into who you are. I love hearing about the impact books have on people's lives.
You are so right about The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue.
Preordered The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy. Can’t wait!!!
My favorite book is The Night Circus! Love it!💕
I love love LOVE 'The Sun is Also A Star' by Nicola Yoon- I'm so happy that you also love this book :)
I just started watching your videos today and I love them because I love a lot of the same books you do! I started crying when you pick up Turtles All The Way Down because that book impacted me in a similar way. I just wanted to thank you for being real and relatable. I'm also reading the Night Circus right now and I can't. put it down. I look forward to more of your videos ❤
I bought The Night Circus before watching your channel and you keep making me want to read it sooner and sooner
Yay the books are in the discription
Aristotle and Dante Discovers the Secrets of the Universe is my all time favorite book EVER. I've read it over ten times and every time I do I notice something new and I would DIE for these characters in every way possible
Thank you sooo much for making me really interested to read the Night Circus. I read it recently and I absolutely loved everything about it❤ It is definitely one of my favorite books of all time now😍 So thank you!❤
Just wanted to say thank you! Thanks to you, I read "Aliza and her monsters"! It goes so deep into my heart! Certainly one of the special books I've read.
The strange and beautiful sorrows of Ava Lavander
I loved it!
I'm currently reading the night circus because you recommended it so much that I HAD to start reading it
Why not make a video on historical fiction books? I really want to read more of those xd
mahima rao have you read. How to hang a witch by Adriana Mather
@@thebookphantom398 what is the story about??
Nisa sidek Adriana wrote a book on one of her ancestors . It’s about a witch named Sam , it’s mean girls meets Salem witch trials . She just did a twist on real events
@mahima rao the And I Darken series is just SO good. The idea is from the stories around Vlad the Impaler. Kiersten White took it and made him into one of the most impressive female characters: Ladislav Dragwlya.
Number the Stars by Lois Lowry~
I feel like you are very much my book soulmate. The Night Circus is one of my if not my very favorite book as well. I had never watched your videos until today but many of the books you’ve recommended are books I have been wanting to read or have read and loved.
I would absolutely love to watch a video about the books that changed your life! Such an interesting concept!
I saw this video a few months ago and decided to go into Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe and I'm *so grateful*
I have never before cried while reading a book.
It is one of the best books I have ever read. I couldn't stop talking about it and recommending it to everyone.
Thank you for this, im having a bad day at work and seeing your beautiful face and beautiful smile makes me feel a little better. I Love you girl ❤
You make ME feel better! Thank you lovely
Oh my gosh I love your channel. You make me feel so excited to read everything!
Love the idea of doing a video about books that changed your life/shaped you!
Aristotle and Dante is actually getting a sequel!!! you can find it on goodreads i believe it is called There Will Be Other Summers
Tatiana Leonovich wait what?!
Whatttttttttttt
Amanda Crossen yes! look it up on goodreads. it has a synopsis but no release date yet
I cant wait to read it
OMG REALLY
I’ve been reading all the books you suggest.
I’m a new fan of yours and I Love should so much. I take screen shots of the books or download your vids, 😂
Station Eleven is truly one of my favorite books of all time so I was glad to see it was the first book you talked about
I just came you on my You Tube feed and must say ..I really love your books taste ...it's both interesting and uncommon and it's says long on YOU..
I'm so glad I discover THE GENTLEMAN GUIDE TO VICE AND VIRTUES...I really click to it thanks to your beautiful reviews and I already add it on my next book lists purchase......😊...Can't wait to read it.
Bzw YOU SO CHARMING AND SWEET..Pleasure to listen to your videos. .
After I read Turtles All The Way Down, I legit couldn't think of anything but the book. Lost all concentration in my college classes for a week thinking about it. I still have a hard time putting why I love it so much into words. Because when she was going into thought spirals (especially in the hospital) it felt horrible. It did feel like being in the middle of a panic attack. But John Green has always had a way with words (both in writing and out loud) that is magical. His writing is real and heart-wrenching and beautiful all at the same time. 10/10 stars!!
After you mentioned „turtles all the way down“ and said what it’s about, I immediately knew, that I have to read it, because I have OCD and really want to know how John Green put it into words ....
Excited for the recommendations-I’ll comment with thoughts if I get around to prioritizing some of these!! Thanks!
Thank you for being descriptive--and backing up your reviews with support ... I subscribed!
Reading Aristotle and Donte now and I have been looking for Eliza and her monsters for Ages !!!
I will find it.
And I will read it.
Well did you find it?😂
Wait. You just made a rq reference, right?
