AJ FIKRY is the type of story that when you finish it you just have to sit back for a minute and think to yourself - “I am so glad I am a reader.” 😊 And if my TBR list wasn’t so massive at this point😉 it is definitely due for a reread one of these days…😍📚
11/22/63 is always my go-to recommendation for anyone whose tastes I don’t know! Everyone loves that book and it’s one of my favorite books of all time!
@@hammadansari4840the show was trash. Especially compared to the book. They added and subtracted things that weren’t in the book. Highly recommend reading it
My husband asked me to read a book and let him know if he’d like it. It’s marketed as time travel but maybe not the kind of sci-fi he’d like. So I’m reading “this is how you lose the time war.”
Yeah I am a guy and it was okay. It’s not really a science fiction (don’t mean it derogatory) but a quirky romance set in vaguely science fiction setting.
@@Makaneek5060it absolutely does. It’s crazy think back to red rising because it really only scraped the surface in terms of characters, world-building, and story. Especially as you move into the second trilogy
@@kameryngreer3098 All right, that sounds promising. What I like about good fiction is when a ton of elements about the world connect together in surprising but sensible ways, like how the one ring makes you visible to the Nazgul, and how the spice likewise is a powerful tool and a crutch.
@@Makaneek5060 I honestly think you’d enjoy it if you continued, then. There were so many “ohhh, shit” moments for me when I first read through. It’s definitely not for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed its complexity
I always hated reading, i failed English in highschool twice, just could not give a care in the world for it. That being said, there is not one Stephen King book i haven't read. The stand and It was tough for me to stay committed, and TDT wizard and glass was just a tough one over all, but Stephen King did what 13 years of school could not, taught me to enjoy reading
“All Systems Red” by Martha Wells has been a go to recommendation for everyone for me. It’s really short, so it’s not too overwhelming, and if you DO like it and want the option to read more it’s part of a big series. So you can read the one book pretty quick and decide if you want to keep going without having to commit to a 500 page book before deciding.
I have a recommendation!! White Bird by R J Palacio who is also an author of Wonder. White bird is a story of a grandma who tells her grandson her story. It’s about 1940-1950 in France when h*tl3r was taken over a lot of countries. Also it has a movie! It’s suuuper good!! I highly recommend it
Books: 1. Red Rising by Pierce Brown 2. Billy Summers by Stephen King 3. 11/22/63 by Stephen King 4. The Storied life of A.J. Fikrey by Gabrielle Zevin
11/22/63 is an amazing book. It’s more than just time travel and saving JFK. I almost never read fiction, but I loved that book so much and remember reading it when I was 17.
My personal fav -Louis L'Amour Lando(a great novel of the magnificent sackett family) -Tom Hardy (far from the maddening crowd) I remember as a kid i used to read them all the time
I LOVE 11/22/63, it was the 2nd or 3rd Stephen King book I read, and I just let my friend borrow it a month or two ago and she said that she loved it as well so GOOD SUGGESTION
Ngl I used to watch you allll the time up until around shortly after your wedding when you slowly started to become a full on booktuber and I’ve lost the inspiration to read (I was a book junkie growing up, even my English teacher would complain about it), so I stopped watching. Now that I’m mustering up the courage to try to get back into it and defeat my laziness, it’s so perfect to come back and watch you again. Thank you Haley, ily and I can’t wait for my reading journey to begin again 🤟🏾💜
As a guy. The homelander series by Andrew Klavan. Fantastic read. Action, a little love story, and mystery that keeps you guessing until the fourth and final book
Some books that I’ve really been enjoying reading through are the Dresden Files books. They aren’t Stephen king, but they definitely are peak fiction and a hell of a good time
Fire Upon the Deep is genuinely one of the coolest and most entertaining books I’ve ever read. Long book but I FLEW through that shit, every page was fun to read. Coming from someone who doesn’t read much. It turned me into a sci-fi fan.
I’ve never been able to get in to books about just stories. It’s always gotta be some sort of self improvement book lol (because I’m lagging so far behind in life)😅
Tons of books out there. Even fantasy can help you out. Avatar the last Airbender replaced my need for therapy later in life basically lmao. Brandon sandersons fantasy stories are amazing. They're badass and about broken people saving the world.
@@JaredPalmerVlogsI mean it definitely teaches the dangers of not having healthy boundaries and the failure to understand what proper BDSM relationships are all about. The more you know 🌈
i've got a book recommendation for you haley! :) it's white bird by the same author of wonder, it's the story of julian's grandmother during world war, i read it a while back and i always cry aha, it's comic style so you could probably read it in one sitting, happy reading! xx
@@cereal_qilla its a Hungarian book and it was so fucking worth my time. Egri Csillagok, theres a lot of versions of it. I personally have the original version, thats why its 703 pages.
I'm a guy and I bought the storied life of AJ fikry two days ago. I finished it today. It's helping me go through a tough time and I wouldn't have found out about it if I hadn't seen this video. Thank you! I know I wouldn't have liked it a year ago but sometimes books find you at the right time.
Thanks for the recommendations! I’m gonna try Red Rising because I really want more books to read! (I have to many but who cares!) I’ve already downloaded a sample to read later.
I recommended to my husband read 100 years of solitude, Anna Karenina, gentleman in Moscow, and cutting for stone. All great books he really loved too. If anyone has great audio recommendations for men and women, please share as I’m going on a roadtrip soon and need some new ones
Red rising is ridiculously good, I listened to the audio book the whole time thinking if they did a show for it with similar pacing to The Last of Us it would be PEAK!!!
my guy friends are always asking what they should read (i am the book nerd in the group lol) and all i read is romance, so ill def be reading all these and then recommending!!
How satisfying it is that all these books match in colors ✨
literally my first thought
looks like she likes red…….hmmmmm
I love books with pretty covers, they make me want to read them more
yeah know right
u
AJ Fickry was so great.
I also just finished Love on the Brain and loved that too.
Same love on the brain is soooooooooooooo good‼️
I finished Love on the Brain yesterday
AJ Fikry’s book tore me apart :’(

The storied life description?
I recommend, “Goosebumps: Attack of The Jack - O - Lanterns.” The Halloween atmosphere, and the characters are all great. Give it a try.
A kids book 😂
All of them are amazing and memorable
Goosebumps the scarecrow walks at midnight was my favorite growing up.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
An absolute classic...
11/22/63 is always my go-to recommendation for anyone whose tastes I don’t know! Everyone loves that book and it’s one of my favorite books of all time!
The ending is incredible, which is pretty unusual for King novels, but it is because it was actually written by his son lol
I've watched the TV series of 11.22.63 it was decent can't say the same about the book.
@@hammadansari4840the show was trash. Especially compared to the book. They added and subtracted things that weren’t in the book. Highly recommend reading it
@@PancakesforEveryoneCmon guys, the show wasn’t THAT bad.
Same. I do a reread (or relisten on audible) at least every few years.
Next can you do books for the summer!!!
Great idea!
Agreed
Yessss Red Rising! I always also recommend The Martian by Andy Weir and Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.
Loved the Martian
Hail Mary is also a great read!
i loved ready player one. I'm now reading ready player two!!
and I got the 6 books of dunes but I'm scared to start reading them
@@pzt People hate on ready player two but don't let if affect your opinion - I personally loved it
Ur book recommendations are always so good!
When you said “a guy,” I was full on expecting Ryan and then I just see that random (not actually random) dude 😂
Yeah uh WAT
I love how all the covers have red on it
11/22/63, for how big the book is, was one of the fastest reads I've ever experienced. Great recommendation! I'll definitely check out Bill Summers.
Stephen King’s Fairytale is amazing too!!
Agreed!
It's...kinda not.
Love the book reviews but girly your skin is glowing DROP THE SKINCARE ROUTINE ✨✨✨
My husband asked me to read a book and let him know if he’d like it. It’s marketed as time travel but maybe not the kind of sci-fi he’d like. So I’m reading “this is how you lose the time war.”
Ah I’ve long time been wanting to read that! I’ve a lot of great things
My husband read that one and he said it was ok
Ouu, a time travel Sci-Fi book series that I find awesome is the Impossible Times trilogy by Mark Lawrence.
Yeah I am a guy and it was okay. It’s not really a science fiction (don’t mean it derogatory) but a quirky romance set in vaguely science fiction setting.
He really made you his personal book reviewer huh?
Billy Summers was absolutely phenomenal
I was actually looking for books to read so thank you!
Saw red rising in the video you first mentioned it & it took over my life for a month. On book 4
I had mixed feelings about book 1 but if the worldbuilding gets more interconnected later I'd try the rest.
@@Makaneek5060it absolutely does. It’s crazy think back to red rising because it really only scraped the surface in terms of characters, world-building, and story. Especially as you move into the second trilogy

Red Rising is soo good. I like book 2 and 3 the most also 4 and 5 are also very good. 1 and 6+ are good but not as good as the rest.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! YOU MOTIVATE ME TO READ MORE!! ❤❤
Your skin! Amazing looking girl
I love how each of these books actually look really well loved. THAT is a sign of a good book all by itself.
Woah, I am sure looking forward to read your book recommendations ❤️❤️

the way these books all match each other too ❤️🖤❤️

Books:
1. Red Rising by Pierce Brown
2. Billy Summers by Stephen King
3. 11/22/63 by Stephen King
4. The Storied life of A.J. Fikrey by Gabrielle Zevin
Two books that every guy needs to read in his life are: Endurance by Alfred Lansing, and Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. They will change your life.
11/22/63 is an amazing book. It’s more than just time travel and saving JFK. I almost never read fiction, but I loved that book so much and remember reading it when I was 17.
Loved 11.23.63
Wanna hear some serious pedantry? 11.23.63 is the tv mini series, while 11/23/63 is the book.
My personal fav
-Louis L'Amour Lando(a great novel of the magnificent sackett family)
-Tom Hardy (far from the maddening crowd)
I remember as a kid i used to read them all the time
Red rising is amazing! And it only gets better. The first one is the author hitting his stride.
Brother, I love the feeling of intense validation when someone recommends something you love.
Red rising and billy summers absolutely slap
I am going to recommend them to myself!
I looked into the book Billy Summers and read the preview and loved it just because of this video. Thank you Haley!
I would also recommend the first binding
It’s long but such good epic fantasy! Also mmc
The SKIN looks flawless girl
i dont really read book but holy sh*t, i like to watch your shorts about books
you just make them soo entertaining
You have inspired me to order Red Rising, can’t wait!
I’m reading billy summers because of you!!! I love all of your videos ♥️
Billy summers is one of my favorite books soooo good!!!

Loved billy summers, I’ve not ready books but it’s my favourite so far
Berserk. Boys and men love this one.
If you haven’t already, I’d recommend reading the series of court of thorns and roses
OMG LOVE ON THE BRAIN IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS
I love ur recs sooo much!! and i just love u!! My favorite booktuber everrr!!!
Thanks for this! 😄
love ur videos sm!! ❤
Loved red rising and Billy summers, thanks for recommending!
Can you make a review on Mr. Fix It and Miss Sue? It is such a good book and only resonantly published.❤❤❤
Vernor Vinge - "Fire upon the deep" and "Deepness in the sky". I'm currently on "Children of the sky". Phenomenal reads!
Fire Upon the Deep is genuinely one of the coolest and most entertaining books I’ve ever read. Long book but I FLEW through that shit, every page was fun to read.
Coming from someone who doesn’t read much. It turned me into a sci-fi fan.
@@alsyrriad trully and amazing read. Children of the sky follows Fire upon the deep directly, so if you havent give it a read!
Red rising is so good! Great rec.
i love your book recommendations :)
OMG you’re skin is so clear and pretty
I read fairytale by Stephen king and immediately bought 8 Stephen king books after and I love them all. King is always perfect
Well done, you are spot on! Those are all either on my tbr or I have read them and loved them!
I’ve never been able to get in to books about just stories. It’s always gotta be some sort of self improvement book lol (because I’m lagging so far behind in life)😅
Reading is self-improvement by default. A well-read person will always have a leg up over those who don't read.
@@Anotherroom in most cases I’d agree, but you’re telling me 50 shades of grey is self improvement?🤣 Idk…
Tons of books out there. Even fantasy can help you out. Avatar the last Airbender replaced my need for therapy later in life basically lmao. Brandon sandersons fantasy stories are amazing. They're badass and about broken people saving the world.
@@JaredPalmerVlogs Well... some books are better examples than others LOL
@@JaredPalmerVlogsI mean it definitely teaches the dangers of not having healthy boundaries and the failure to understand what proper BDSM relationships are all about.
The more you know 🌈
That is a phenomenal list. I haven’t even heard of the last one, but if it’s as good as the other three I gotta check it out.
Can you read the book IF HE HAD BEEN WITH ME ❤ pls
i've got a book recommendation for you haley! :)
it's white bird by the same author of wonder, it's the story of julian's grandmother during world war, i read it a while back and i always cry aha, it's comic style so you could probably read it in one sitting,
happy reading! xx
