The way you are absolutely going on and on about these books makes me want to read every single one of them RIGHT NOW!😭 soooo many books to read and so less time has never been more true😢
when the moon hatched is already on my tbr but i bumped it to my march tbr bc of your passion for the book! im sold also couldnt agree more about HOEAB😭 def the strongest in the series. i wish i could reread it for the first time again
I’m reading Six of Crows right now and it definitely feels like it could become a new favorite! I’m obsessed haha. And basically the rest of these are on my TBR (besides ACOSF and CC, already read and really enjoyed) so I guess I need to get to them soon! 😆
I've only gotten back into reading since September of last year, so I havent been exposed to a lot of material that could be possibly my ultimate favorites of all time, but so far my top 3 picks are: A Court of Mist and Fury, Butcher and Blackbird, and Assistant to the Villian.
So many of these books are also my faves! I am reading Project Hail Mary soon because I'm reading books recommended by my favorite booktubers for a video and you're in it! (I messaged you on insta a few weeks ago lol). I literally have not shut up about Heartstopper since I read it and I need everyone to read ittt I've been wanting to read the Greenbone saga for so long I loveee house of earth and blood and think about Bryce's Drop scene with Danika so often ❤
The one book that hit me hard as a teen and I reread every year (38 now) and get something new out of it is a ring of endless light, Madeleine L’Engle. The bridge kingdom I loved also
I think this is the first time I haven't disagreed! My favourite books: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte Anna Karenina by Tolstoy A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir The Starless Sea Erin M Talking at Night by Claire Daverly Normal People by Sally R Call me by your Name - Andre Aciman Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton (this is amazing) Love & Other Words Christina Lauren
I felt so bad but i did dnf it, maybe some day i will continue, the spice was just a little to much for me, i dont mind it usually, but its like SJM put more spice in 300 pages here then in all first 4 books, ACOMAF is my number 1.
I thought I wouldn’t like Heartless by Elsie Silver much because it had some of my least fave tropes. But thought I’d give it a try since it’s the first in a series. I loved it! It was so good. A great start to the series. I absolutely loved A Court of Silver Flames. I thought I wouldn’t because of Nesta. I never liked her and I always thought she was rude, snobby, lazy and plain mean. But wow, her story being told from her POV changed things. And what a story it was! I know I’m going to have to give it a reread sometime this year or before the next book comes out. And I wouldn’t mind if the rest of the books featured Nesta too. lol
Normal People was everything, I could’ve read 100+ more pages of their story. I agree though the adaptation is definitely that one off and is better than the book. Paul and Daisy made something so special for us for real. 🫶🏼
Thank you Rachel for sharing this, here are my Favorites The Entire Green bone Saga Dance of Thieves Yellowface When the moon hatched Six of Crows Normal People The Song of Achilles The Poppy War Triology Daisy Jones and the Six A little Life A Court of Silver Flames Divine Rivals My dark Vanessa Tomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow None of this is true HOEAB That said, you are my Favorite booktuber!
I just read Spark of the Everflame - is you haven't read it yet, pick it up. It's incredible! Three books out so far with the fourth & final coming out this year.
normal people & heart stopper 😭🫶🏼 masterpiece, all of them!!!! we also stan magnolia, i know SJM brought us together but i truly feel like magnolia parks was the gorilla glue to our friendship 😭😭🫶🏼🫶🏼 i love you so much!!!
yes our girl nesta is the besta 😻 bryce Quinlan can do no wrong!! CC is life!!! wow my comments are so annoying im so sorry but i cant stop 😀👍🏼 i actually love that queen of shadows is your fave from the series bc it’s not my fave and i feel guilty about that and it deserves its time to shine ✨ (to be clear tho!!! i still love it more than COM or TOD lol)
I haven't read near as many books as you, but my top three favorite books are: - Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - Cinder by Marissa Meyer - A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas
We have a lot of the same taste in books except "when the moon hatched". That book was god awful. I could have handled god awful if it wasnt "long winded, uneventful and boring" god awful.
I read the night circus two weeks ago and I don’t know how to explain it other than it felt like when you’re watching a painting in a museum : you admire the art but feel no connection to it. The writing was amazing but I felt nothing for the characters, it was a weird experience 😂
OMG RACHEL I was just looking for a favorite books video from you yesterday!!! I've dnfed 7 books in a row and got frustrated so i thought you know what i need to look for rachel's favorites books bc i have yet to be let down ahahah
also i would give my list of favorites but it would be almost exact to your list lol aside from Alone with You in the Ether and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow!
I paused the video at the very beginning and spent a few minutes picking my line up of what I thought would make the top 17 and spent the whole video pumping my fist in the air every time I was right 😂
It makes me so sad that ACOMAF always outshines ACOSF (still love them both) because I agree that SJM really shined in silver flames!!! It does not get enough credit! ❤
We have a lot of favorites in common! Green Bone Saga consumed my soul. YES Night Circus and Serpent! And omg I still have so many feelings about When the Moon Hatched. It really does stand entirely on its own.
I just started Six of Crows for the first time, and I know it's a favorite for most people, so I can't wait for this journey! You've also pushed Normal People, When The Moon Hatched, & The Green Bone Saga so far up my TBR! Can't wait to get to those ❤ Some of my favorite books: Pride & Prejudice 🏰 Half a Soul ✂️ The Infernal Devices trilogy ✨️ Daisy Jones & The Six 🎸 Divine Rivals 💌 Project Hail Mary 🕷 The Ballad of Never After 🍎 A Man Called Ove 🐈 The Beautiful Ones 🪲 Letters to the Lost 💙
The Picture of Dorian Gray, Alice in Wonderland, and The Inferno- are my top 3 classic books! Divine Rivals and ACOTAR Series are my favorite fantasies
Loved the video! Thank you. And my faves of alltime are all series!!! The All Souls Trilogy by Debra Harkness, the Throne of Glass Series and the Practical Magic Series by Alice Hoffman!
Such a hard thing to decide on! My favorites change often and would probably be different if I answered a few hours from now, but right now I’m thinking: House of Earth and Blood Ugly Love From Lukov With Love A Love Letter to Whiskey ❤
Hi! I am very thankful for your channel and the book recommendations. I just wanted to let people know that I found “ when the moon hatched” on kindle unlimited, will be reading it soon.
Thank you for adding to my growing TBR list 😆 I, of course, love all things SJ Mass. I want to recommend The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks. This book/ the Night Angel trilogy brought back my love of reading a couple years ago and I re-read in 2023... can confirm, it's near the top of my book list for characters/story that live in my head rent-free. ❤ Happy Thursday!
We definitely have similar book tastes because I've read quite a few of these (the SJM books and Normal people). When the moon hatched is downloaded on my Kindle and I'm excited to read it.
❤ I agree with you on The Green Bone Saga. I have yet to read book 3 but books 1&2 were outstanding!! Adding When the Moon Hatched asap to my list!! So many recs I love this video!
I've just started reading ''When the Moon Hatched'' and am bowled over with the writing style. It is a chunky one at 730 pages but I don't want to rush the experience.
I saw the title of this video and said “screw my thesis, this is more important” 😂
hahaha omg 😂🥹 good luck on your thesis!!
@@ravenhairedreader thanks!!
The way you are absolutely going on and on about these books makes me want to read every single one of them RIGHT NOW!😭 soooo many books to read and so less time has never been more true😢
Project Hail Mary and one of the books in the Brown Sisters series would probably make my list too! I always love these videos!
when the moon hatched is already on my tbr but i bumped it to my march tbr bc of your passion for the book! im sold
also couldnt agree more about HOEAB😭 def the strongest in the series. i wish i could reread it for the first time again

I have When the Moon Hatched arriving today with Glow!!! Can't wait!
I’m reading Six of Crows right now and it definitely feels like it could become a new favorite! I’m obsessed haha. And basically the rest of these are on my TBR (besides ACOSF and CC, already read and really enjoyed) so I guess I need to get to them soon! 😆

I've been debating starting the Magnolia Parks & Chestnut Springs series! Now that I know you like them I'm getting them asap! ❤

Sorry Nesta ain't it for melol. silver flames was hard for me to finish. Without Cassian there i would have dnf'd it.
I felt so bad but i did dnf it, maybe some day i will continue, the spice was just a little to much for me, i dont mind it usually, but its like SJM put more spice in 300 pages here then in all first 4 books, ACOMAF is my number 1.

And I wouldn’t mind if the rest of the books featured Nesta too. lol
1. ACOMAF
2. The Two of Us
3. DJ&6 and The Song of Achilles are tied

Normal People was everything, I could’ve read 100+ more pages of their story. I agree though the adaptation is definitely that one off and is better than the book. Paul and Daisy made something so special for us for real. 🫶🏼

Who else wants to see those books that didn’t quite make the cut?! 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
I haven't read near as many books as you, but my top three favorite books are:
- Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
- Cinder by Marissa Meyer
- A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas
We have a lot of the same taste in books except "when the moon hatched". That book was god awful. I could have handled god awful if it wasnt "long winded, uneventful and boring" god awful.
I just finished When the Moon Hatched and SAME!! It was incredible and the way it ended was just phenomenal❤️
Seventeen. That's not too many. I could easily do a top 100.
Why was ACOTAR not on the list? Because it was assumed 😃?
Girl I have so many favorite books too we need to know the full 26 tho 😅
Redeeming 6 is my all time favvvv ❤
I read the night circus two weeks ago and I don’t know how to explain it other than it felt like when you’re watching a painting in a museum : you admire the art but feel no connection to it. The writing was amazing but I felt nothing for the characters, it was a weird experience 😂
Still campaigning for you to read The Aurelian Cycle 🐉 it’s so so good
I really have to read Heartstopper before the series is over
you are so so pretty. literally glowing. also, thank you for sharing your favorite books with us - i love seeing these type of videos

It makes me so sad that ACOMAF always outshines ACOSF (still love them both) because I agree that SJM really shined in silver flames!!! It does not get enough credit! ❤
Love your videos! My top 3 are Normal People, The Pisces and The Idiot by Elif Batuman
We have a lot of favorites in common! Green Bone Saga consumed my soul. YES Night Circus and Serpent! And omg I still have so many feelings about When the Moon Hatched. It really does stand entirely on its own.

The Picture of Dorian Gray, Alice in Wonderland, and The Inferno- are my top 3 classic books! Divine Rivals and ACOTAR Series are my favorite fantasies
Loved the video! Thank you. And my faves of alltime are all series!!! The All Souls Trilogy by Debra Harkness, the Throne of Glass Series and the Practical Magic Series by Alice Hoffman!

Choosing favorites is so hard!!!! in rapid fire which i will probably regret later The Starless Sea, Call me by your name and Empire of the Vampire
Such a hard thing to decide on! My favorites change often and would probably be different if I answered a few hours from now, but right now I’m thinking:
House of Earth and Blood
Ugly Love

Literally on pg 147 of Queen of Shadows right now!! First time reading Throne of Glass and I’m obsessed. Adding your favorites to my tbr!! 😆

Nesta, I wasn't expecting that!
Nice video!
