Me too!! I read six of crows first and I’m glad I did-I’m not sure if I would have liked the shadow and bone series without the knowing that I LOVED SOC
Yeah I’d recommend just going straight into the six of crows duology, it’s a lot better than shadow and bone. If you get confused there are summaries online which explain the fantasy elements which helped me! X
i have a really good feeling that you’ll love shatter me and that you’ll get through them really fast cuz they’re easy to read and THAT good. trust me you’ll love them and Warner so you got this steph!!
The first book isn’t great imo, I’m 3/4 of the way through unravel me and I’m just getting into a bit more. I’ve heard ignite me is amazing so hopefully it lives up to the hype lol.
@@mindofaries i had to force myself to read the entire series besides ignite me and restore me :( the first book and last book were PAINFUL dystopian is just not my thing so i hated the plot but i rlly like the characters esp kenji, nazeera and warner (sometimes) and dw ignite me is fantastic! but the second trilogy isn’t my fav because i don’t like the plotline even tho it goes WAY more in depth. but u meet nazeera so win :)
ACOTAR is my FAVORITE series of all time 😍😍 I used to be strictly romance only and I had zero interest in fantasy books. But I noticed that I get into reading slumps if I read something too similar to what I just currently finished so I decided to change it up one day and I grabbed a court of thorns and roses and OMG I am so glad I did. It was so easy to get into, the book was just a roller coaster. I loved every second of it. But if you don’t like the first one don’t worry, the second is AMAZING. Just don’t judge it based off of the first even though when I first read that one i did love it. It got me into the fantasy/romance genre and I literally just left Barnes & Noble yesterday with all fantasy books and was like “who is this girl?! 😂😂” HIGHLY RECOMMEND
yes!! i actually recommend watching the tv show first bc it's still a nice introduction & some of the flashback scenes in the soc book were acted out in the s&b tvshow so it becomes rlly satisfying to read :)
They both did at the end was so good!! People really need to stop judging books on other people's opinions... the point of reading is to form your OWN opinions!
i just read "they both die at the end" i thought it was so good and i cried at the end, for sure not a complicated read but it quick and easy. also "they deserve eachother" is one of my favourite books for 2021
steph i know u don't usually read mysteries but i rlly rlllly suggest you read a good girls guide to murder!! you'll be OBSESSED! it also has a tiny subplot of romance but i swear you wont regret reading it!!
You need to read they both die at the end! I am not a romance reader at all, but that book made it work. In one way it’s light- with humor and likable characters but of course it handles heavy topics- I mean, they both die at the end. I’ve reread it two times, and it’s always good.
the boy who sneaks in my bedroom window is so good ! kristey mosely gets you in all the feels and ive read 3 other books by her and they are all 5 stars in my opnion
I waited SO LONG to read The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and I regret it so much. It’s the most beautiful book I think I’ve ever read. Definitely an instant favorite. I saw somewhere that you’d love it if you loved Song of Achilles. I think the reason I resisted picking it up was that the description and cover made it feel more like a historical novel than it is (it bounces back and forth between present and past) and I thought it would take more energy getting into it. But now I’m obsessed and I need everyone to read it so that I have people to talk to about it!
ACOTAR IS MY FAVORITE SERIES EVER. You just need to get through the first book because each books gets better and better. The romance. The spice. I’ve reread it five times in under two years. I will never not recommend that series.
I was always unsure on whether I’d like acotar or not but I found the series for a good price second hand & I just started reading them and I’m obsessed!! SO GOOD
I just finished the second book yesterday and started the fourth today!! Also… literally just found out like three days ago that there’s a fifth book?!?! What the heck. Will be buying when it’s available on Amazon (September 6)
I feel like watching you is always like a late evening face time call. It makes me so happy pretending that you are on the call while I’m doing something differently 💕
Great thing about One of Us is Lying, you can read the book first and it doesn’t spoil the show entirely because they changed some things. Both are worth the time though, in my opinion. I’ve only just started book two because season two comes out next month.
Dude. I've always loved reading but I literally went through years without reading any books because I just never had the energy or the motivation to read and the ACOTAR series is what reignited the spark for me. There's definitely a very odd scene in the first one and I'm not all the way through the series but I highly recommend it. (But I also really like books where they create a whole world and that series does that)
However, that being said, this is the first of your videos I've seen and I don't know what your taste is like. I know some people like books to not have explicit scenes and if you're one of those people I wouldn't recommend it
I love shatter me more then ACOTAR. Definitely read shatter me first. Seeing your tbr section makes me feel better about my tbr piles. But I love it, you’ve got to have options
Girl..ACOTAR is my favorite series EVER. I didn’t even read fantasy before this series. The characters, the world building, character development, dynamics. So good. You need to read it!
eleanor oliphant is like one of my favourite books!! it is definitely character driven but i just loved the characters so much and it’s my comfort boom atm. whenever i see it in someone’s book collection i get so excited lol
Steph the last ACOTAR book, A court of silver flames, is the best one! That’s not in your set tho, you should definitely include it in your video because it’s on another level of amazing compared to the other four!
Ahhh!! I love this so much! I love watching these types of videos to help inspire me to read different kinds of books rather than reread a book for the tenth time which I do if I've been in sort of a slump. Also, One of Us is Lying is so good! One of my favourite YA Murder Mystery books for sure!
Where the crawdads sing is one of the best books I’ve ever read in my entire life. Top 5 for sure! Please read it and watch the movie. It does it justice for real ❤️and the plot twist 😱
I think Everything I Never Told You was one of your TBR books-if so, consider me this motivating you to read it, lol. Celeste Ng is an amazing writer, and the story is so beautiful and sad.
i had the same feelings towards the fantasy genre but then a friend of mine convinced me to read ACOTAR and i became OBSESSED. finished the whole series in a week because it was just that good. it has the best found family trope i’ve read since addicted/calloway :)
no honestly anything by cassandra clare is rlly good to get into fantasy bc they all have strong romances in them fr! the mortal instruments is like urban nyc and the dark artifices is like set in california? the infernal devices is set in london👀 (but like, olden days)
YES she is so soo good at the romance and the dialogue between the love interests and just everything. Which series by cassieclare would you say is your favourite?
@@tresageorge4156 omg whats yours i love the infernal devices has to be mine but the mortal instruments like i grew up reading them they have a special place in my heart as well :,)
ACOTAR series is amazing and this is coming from an avid romance reader - its NA not YA as i thought it was. Cassian and Ryhsand give me John Logan mixed with Ryke meadows/Connor Cobalt vibes idk how to explain other than they love FC unconditionally
You are actually going to be so obsessed with ACOTAR, like I have basic taste too 😂 and it is the most addictive romance ever. There is like an adorable found family trope (eventually) and just like immaculate tension. Just like think of it as a trilogy though because the first 3 are directly related the main like love interest storyline. The 2nd book is the best so if the first is meh to you hang in there!
schadow & bone is set before six of crows in the timeline, so if you want to read both, definitely read s&b first but you can read only six of crows and crooked kingdom and it will still be super fun.
im from california and i thought i would never meet you and then i visited my family in new jersey for the summer and i realized that you were less than an hour away from me. 😫 i will just have to wait until next summer.
I’ll do everything to see shatter me vlog it’s been two years since I read the series and when i tell I can’t ever find a book better than the series Hope you’ll read it soon
5:37 I feel like you should read The Infernal Devices before The Mortal Instruments if you want to give it a try, I know you’ll love Will and Jem sm 🥺 And both ACOTAR and Shatter Me have a great focus on the romance, so it won't be a huge genre change. Hope you'll vlog it and loved the new book wall.
@@Becksnnc Yes, I tried to read like this but I got stuck reading City of Bones 🥺 since I already knew the universe I switched the release reading order a little bit and first read TID then TMI, but starting with the first books of TMI is a great option as well.
The boy who sneaks in my bedroom window is one of my FAVOURITE BOOKS OF ALL TIME. This book got me in to reading in the first place. Maybe I wouldn't like it that much now but back then i loved it. Read it, despite the ugly cover. P.S. I read it in Serbian and the cover is so much prettier😍💘💘 Love your videos💗💗
read Cruel Prince if you haven't. probably one of the only viral book series that are worth it and one of the only series that I actually like the main character. Great fantasy starter too
steph is like my best friend. i’m just gonna pretend she knows everything about me- she’s such a comfort person and literally i feel so safe here 🫶
this. this is exactly what I feel when I watch Steph's videos
This exactly how i feel like watching these types of videos. I love that the book wall is back
Yessss
exactlyyy
exactly
I jumped into six of crows without reading shadow and bone and absolutely loved it!! I can’t wait for you to read the SOC duology!
Me too!! I read six of crows first and I’m glad I did-I’m not sure if I would have liked the shadow and bone series without the knowing that I LOVED SOC
Yeah I’d recommend just going straight into the six of crows duology, it’s a lot better than shadow and bone. If you get confused there are summaries online which explain the fantasy elements which helped me! X
Nope. It's written to be the trilogy BEFORE the duology. Plus S&B was amazing. DOC was kinda a let down.
Yes! I read Shadow and Bone triology first but I felt like I could’ve just read SOC & would’ve understood everything.
@@madelinemiller1538 really?? I haven’t read soc but I’m reading the shadow and bone trilogy and i absolutely love it so far
IM ACTUALLY SO SAD THAT I DIDNT RANDOMLY BUMP INTO YOU WHEN YOU WERE IN THE UK but i’m glad you had a great time!!
NO CUZ SAME
Same and I don’t even live in the uk so it doesn’t make sense 😭
I was just waiting for it to happen 😂
SAME😭
We all want a meet cute with Steph 😆✨
So happy you’re finally settling down and we get to see all your books again! I missed your book walk 💜
i read the six of crows without reading the other books and still loved it!
i have a really good feeling that you’ll love shatter me and that you’ll get through them really fast cuz they’re easy to read and THAT good. trust me you’ll love them and Warner
so you got this steph!!
Oh, especially Warner
The first book isn’t great imo, I’m 3/4 of the way through unravel me and I’m just getting into a bit more. I’ve heard ignite me is amazing so hopefully it lives up to the hype lol.

Steph, you definitely don’t have to read the shadow and bone trilogy before reading six of crows! Also so glad the book wall is making a return!
Steph you don’t need to read the shadow and bone trilogy before reading six of crows because six of crows isn’t really focused on the magic system
yes!! i actually recommend watching the tv show first bc it's still a nice introduction & some of the flashback scenes in the soc book were acted out in the s&b tvshow so it becomes rlly satisfying to read :)
Steph I just want you to know that you’re my comfort channel✨
same ❤️
ACOTAR, Shadow and Bone and Shatter me series are great. These are my favourite fantasy romances. Hope you'll vlog it when you read it 💞
I hope she does too!
Just watched Shadow & Bone on Netflix! If you’ve seen it, is the book much better?
@@Sama-yd4cl I loved both books and the show. Books are totally worth it )))
My day just got so much better because Steph uploaded. Can we just appreciate how she takes us all on the journey of her life ♥️♥️
They both did at the end was so good!! People really need to stop judging books on other people's opinions... the point of reading is to form your OWN opinions!
i just read "they both die at the end" i thought it was so good and i cried at the end, for sure not a complicated read but it quick and easy. also "they deserve eachother" is one of my favourite books for 2021
you have no idea how comforting these organizing vids are bc i just moved into my freshman dorm! literally giving me so much inspo
Manifesting this new posting schedule for the rest of this lifetime coz u literally make my day. I can watch u do anything. Live with me already.

steph i know u don't usually read mysteries but i rlly rlllly suggest you read a good girls guide to murder!! you'll be OBSESSED! it also has a tiny subplot of romance but i swear you wont regret reading it!!
i skipped shadow and bone & am now re reading six or crows duology
Ur literally my comfort person I feel so safe with you like stoppp thank you steph

I love shatter me more then ACOTAR. Definitely read shatter me first.
Seeing your tbr section makes me feel better about my tbr piles. But I love it, you’ve got to have options
The Royals series is one of my favorites you need to read it Steph the first book is Paper princess and you put it in your haven’t read pile
Girl..ACOTAR is my favorite series EVER. I didn’t even read fantasy before this series. The characters, the world building, character development, dynamics. So good. You need to read it!
eleanor oliphant is like one of my favourite books!! it is definitely character driven but i just loved the characters so much and it’s my comfort boom atm.
whenever i see it in someone’s book collection i get so excited lol
You talking about books is a comfort and something good to watch while eating 🙌🏼
Steph the last ACOTAR book, A court of silver flames, is the best one! That’s not in your set tho, you should definitely include it in your video because it’s on another level of amazing compared to the other four!
it is in the video, it's not part of the boxset but she has the book under the boxset
before we were strangers is so good! definitely one of my top five reads
i love these kinds of videos so much where it's a super long video of you just organizing your books :) so comforting
Omg I love this!!! I recently moved into an apartment, but I only brought 5 books:-( Leigh Bardugo is really good & her world is beautiful!!
it’s so funny seeing books on your tbr that were also on your tbr video from last year
and the fact that i remember is even funnier tbh
the fact that you haven't read 2/3 sally rooney books but still have the t-shirt and consider yourself a stan...honestly relatable
I would love to see a video about how your dating life and expectations changed after so many romantic books and love stories💗💗
girl i’m gonna die when u reach six of crows, ITS SO GOOD. shadow and bone is a super easy read so it’s not hard to get through
you should do a reading vlog reading fantasy for the first time (also i agree you should start with shatter me because it’s the easiest to follow)
The heart principal was soo good I can't explain.it was so much more thn just romance and really emotional
Ahhh!! I love this so much! I love watching these types of videos to help inspire me to read different kinds of books rather than reread a book for the tenth time which I do if I've been in sort of a slump. Also, One of Us is Lying is so good! One of my favourite YA Murder Mystery books for sure!

So excited to hear what you think of ACOTAR! 😃
The Paper Princess series is so good! I was heartbroken when I finished the last book
I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH STEPH .
I LITERALLY WORSHIP THE GROUND YOU WALK ON

this reminded me of looking for alaska, she has so many books she havent read but will read. idk i love it i want that many books!
yayyy omg i was just searching for one of your old vids to rewatch bc i miss youuu 💗💗
this new apartment era is my fav. such chill videos that i love to watch!!
I have been procrastinating reading my current series I'm trying to read and this video just motivated me to want to read :)
You should just buy a bookshelf for that wall! You would be able to fit so many books on a Billy bookcase! And it would look really nice!
Definitely finish the twisted series! Twisted lies is amazing!! Christian harper might just be one of the best book men ever
you HAVE to read If He Had Been With Me. It’s my favorite book as of now and has such a good build up and a shattering end.
The Paper Princess series is really good! I binged it.
omg excited to read this now
Ya it really is
omg if he had been with me!!!! it is so so so good. literally the only book I recommend to you lol. I am so stoked for you to read it.
Queen has blessed us with another video 🖤 life is so much better with you and the book wall
the roommate is such a wholesome book!!! and I think you'll love shatter me series
5:37 I feel like you should read The Infernal Devices before The Mortal Instruments if you want to give it a try, I know you’ll love Will and Jem sm 🥺 And both ACOTAR and Shatter Me have a great focus on the romance, so it won't be a huge genre change. Hope you'll vlog it and loved the new book wall.
yes yes yes pls read infernal devices first its so much better! and then read last hours🥺
@@tresageorge4156 it’s currently my favorite trilogy of Cassandra Clare! Can’t wait to meet James Herondale tho.

read Cruel Prince if you haven't. probably one of the only viral book series that are worth it and one of the only series that I actually like the main character. Great fantasy starter too
Omg Steph you HAVE to read alone with you in the ether ASAP it's one of the best most beautiful books I've ever read ♥
STEPH I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, read the shatter me series!!! so worth it
they both die at the end is just so beautiful. ı dont know where you heard it wasnt good but you should give it a chance.
you radiate so much comfort ILY
alone with you in the ether is REALLY GOOD read it as soon as you can, it's my all time favorite book
i’m obsessed with ACOTAR i can’t wait for your reading vlog! avoid spoilers while you’re reading lol
Steph you are an angel. You just made my day better.
The books you've read set up would a perfect place to record your book videos! It looks so pretty :D I hope you find the books that weren't there
Please do a reading blog of “The Inheritance Games” by Jennifer Lynn Barnes!!! At least the first book but the whole series would be cool…:)
you NEED to read the crave series. I'm not a fantasy girl tbh but i am obsessed with them. i went through the 4 books that are out rn in 2 weeks.
