I’m about 30% into “The Starless Sea” and it’s one of the greatest books I think I’ve ever had the privilege of reading. I hope you love it too! Lots of beautiful imagery and it makes you feel the magic. Lots of love -J
After Dark was one of my favorite books for like 8 years. lol. Its what turned me onto Murakami's work. Its a very dreamy book... but I remember finishing and being like...."I really loved that, but I don't know why........" So with that said... don't have insanely high expectations, just be open to it.
Sade pearce The series is called The Cemetery of Forgotten Books by a Spanish author called Carlos Ruiz Zafon. The Shadow of the Wind is the first book, and is about a father and son who owns a second-hand bookstore in Barcelona. Daniel, the son, was taken by his father to a super secret library where the boy can “adopt” a book and protect it for life. The boy, then, went on a quest to find more books by the same author, and thus became involved in tracing the history of the said author.
You’re back!! We’ve missed you! I’ve just finished reading the Night Circus because of you and it is literally the most beautiful thing I’ve ever read. Thank you for loving it!
I fell in love with “The Night Circus” 🎪 and read “The Starless Sea” thanks to you! These are now 2 of my all time favorite books!! Thank you for that! 💜 SO GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK!! You were truly missed my dear!
Girl - you have no need to apologise at all! It is just the biggest joy to see you back gracing our screens with your wonderful smile and huge hearted soul xxx
The same reason why I have been trying so hard to read A Tale of Two Cities.... The curiosity when Will and Tessa talk about it all the time in the Infernal Devices is just crazy.... By the way I am a new admirer of your channel, Ma'am.... Just love your videos!!! 😊
@@lovenoirrr Yes quite true... One has to stick through the first book of the trilogy but I ensure you that the second one is a heartwarming gift from the author herself 😇
Song of Achilles was my first physical read of the year I went in knowing nothing about the myth aaaaaand ended up crying in the break room at work 😂 you’ve been warned
The Song of Achilles is my all-time favourite book, I love it so much, I wrote an essay about it for my Advanced English classes that goes towards my ability to get into university
So glad you're back! I love your videos! I'm Chilean, so in school we actually read several books by Isabel Allende, and my favorite by far is "The House of the Spirits" o "La Casa de los Espíritus". It is such a beautiful and special novel, I'm sure you're going to love it. Also, I really recommend to you the works of Gabriel García Márquez, especially "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Chronicle of a Death Foretold", they are so amazing and unique stories.
Mental health is a tough thing to deal with, especially during the winter, so never feel bad for taking some well-deserved self-care. I'm so glad to hear you're coming out of your reading slump since I've been struggling with one to, and you always inspire me to read again. Also, so glad for the Truly Devious shout out. It was literally the book that reminded me how much I loved reading.
Sat down to read and drink coffee to start off the day, saw this on my recommended video, and I decided watching this was more important. I'm so glad you're back. You were my first booktuber, and I've missed you because you're so sweet and amazing. There's something about your demeanor that just brings me peace, and I love you for it.
You are my favorite book tube vlogger. Your taste in books is so similar to what I like. Thank you for making videos! Sometimes I get stuck and I just don’t know what to read, but I have a huge craving for books, and your videos have helped me so much.
I can’t adequately express the joy I felt when I saw this. So happy you’re back! You have such a calming presence that makes all your videos such a pleasure to watch.
About murakami, I'd like to recommend "the wind up bird chronicle" for the crazy surrealism and it's a very good starting point, i believe you'll love it! and if you want something less crazy "south of the border, west of the sun" is also a great option!
Thank you for the rec! I'm gonna start with South of Border, West of the Sun! (Although, will that be a good book to read if you're trying to get out of a reading slump?)
@@sai-bi2rh Hey, i deleted my comment by mystake so I'm answering again haha, I 'd say that the best book for getting out of a reading slump goes from person to person, but it's a good choice of reading nonetheless!
Welcome back! Hope you’re feeling better now. We missed you so much! OMG you HAVE to read Murakami! I suggest you start with Norwegian Wood. It’s one of my favorite books of all time and it’s a good introduction to his other works. Hope you will pick it soon, or any of his other books and I cannot wait to hear what you’ll think about them!
Emily Elizabeth lol why is that? I do understand why some people might be annoyed by his books (especially this one) but I do think they're really enjoyable I chose Norwegian Wood cause it's the first book that I've ever read by him and now that I've read most of his books I can tell that I wouldn't have read more if I read his other heavier ones first I'm interested to know what you suggest to start with 👀
I watched a film recently that, interestingly enough, roused a deep passion within me to pursue literature. My curiosity took me to TH-cam and I found your channel within about an hour of perusing BookTube. Hannah, I instantly fell in love with not only your channel, but your calm (and lovely) demeanor. Your adoration of storytelling through literature inspires me so much! Your insights are such a gift, and I am so happy to have you back. Sending so much love to you!
yvonne's tea This is quite ironic given that Hannah dislikes this book very much, but the film Call Me By Your Name. It roused such inspiration within me because it was so beautifully done in every capacity. I was so excited to know that it was an adaptation from the book. Getting lost in the story of CMBYN urged me to get lost in other stories as well!
You said you liked Camelot, have you ever watched Merlin from BBC? It’s a great Arthur round table retelling if you haven’t 🤷🏻♀️ it’s one of my favourite shows
I was so excited when you mentioned Carlos Ruiz Zafon!!!!! The Angel's Game is one of my favourite books of all time!!! So excited for you to continue the series!!
When you said “series”, my phone stopped the video and Siri responded😂 I think she missed your videos just as much as I did haha; so glad you’re making videos again!
I am so happy that there’s an Isabel Allende book in this list! My mom used to read a lot of her books. I’m latin myself and I love that there’s a book by her in your list!! 🥰
I aspire to have a bookshelf like yours in the near future. Just looking at it through the screen makes me happy so I can imagine how that space feels irl. Love the content 🌻
I agree there aren’t many books with Persian main characters. I’m Persian too!! And I’m currently hunting for books with Persian characters. A very large expanse of sea by Tahere Mafi is about a Persian Muslim girl in America, highly recommended!! Love your videos, happy to have you back💛💛
Circe was incredible! It took me through so many emotions, that’s how you know it was good! If you liked that you should read Stephen Fry’s books, ‘Heroes’ and ‘Mythos’
I abslutely LOVE how excited and passionated you get when you talk about books and how much they mean to you! Love you, thank you for your inspiration!
I'm watching this in 2022 and seeing her mention station 11 and severance and her fear of widespread illness.. i feel so bad for February 2020 Hannah 😭
We have a lot of similar books on our to-read list! I'm excited and daunted by the prospect ofreading The Priory of the Orange Tree but I can't resist a big book like that haha. It's so nice to see you back and I hope you make more videos soon :)
Murakami is amazing! I would definitely suggest starting with Norwegian Wood, such a brilliant book and I think it is a great place for someone who is new to Murakami to start :)
Hannah - I’m so glad you’re back and hope you’re well! When I saw your face pop up in my feed I got so excited - I get many of my favorite reads from your recommendations!
It's been almost a month and I'm still halfway through it lol it's not like I don't like it, I'm absolutely loving it but there's something that keeping me from finishing the book idk why lol I finished more than 3 fat books since I started reading it.
I just read The Diviners this year and really enjoyed it!! It’s like, if Stalking Jack the Ripper & Ninth House had a baby, really! :D I’m looking forward to getting stuck into the rest of the books now (especially via audio). I hope you enjoy The King of Crows. 🙌🏻
Same here. Have had the first 3 books on me shelves for ages and can't belive that it has taken me so long to read them. The audiobooks are really good 😊 I just finnished 'Before the devil breaks you' and am imaptiantly, *very* impatiently, waiting for 'King of crows' to arrive in the mail. I am loving the story! 😍 hope that you enjoy the books too 🤗😀
I’m so glad you’re back. I literally just finished reading the Infernal Devices series for the first time last night and it was fantastic. I can’t wait to hear what happens in the sequel 🙈🙈
You always have the best recommendations for the best books and all the books you have picked out I ended up loving them!!!! Keep up your amazing work!
So glad you're back!! I LOVED The Starless Sea so much that I cried during the last 100 pages simply because I didn't want it to end! It's definitely my new favorite book of all time so I hope you love it!!
Super super excited your back while you were gone I watched every single one of your videos and bought every book that you mentioned as good so those are all my books I want to read this year!!❤️
I just finished Station 11 as the rise of coronavirus news took flight... what an interesting time to read that book, but I loved it and can’t wait for the glass hotel!
OMG!! When I heard you say that you wanted to you read Murakami I had to stop the video for a moment a process all my emotions - Murakami is my favorite author EVER I am so exited for you to get to know him. I think you should start with Nowegian Wood, is not that big as other of his books, but also I absolutely LOVE The wind-up bird chronicle
Welcome back, Hannah!!! So glad you took the time to take care of YOU! It is so WONDERFUL to see you again. Love and lots of hugs!!! And yes, I am looking at "The Truthwitch" series as next on my TBR along with "The Priory of the Orange Tree." We will plow through these behemoth books together.
For 2020 the one thing I have to hold up and praise is Miracle Maiden (horror/adventure). It follows the story of a young girl named Kea and starts up with her being kidnapped by a group led by a noble woman named Miyune Leestel. Miyune takes her under like a daughter, and ere kicks off one of the most unique stories I’ve ever seen. Shouts to the dark presence haunting kea, it’s soooo unsettling. “A familiar presence made itself known, and a shiver ran down my spine. Something started to tug at my soul, something sinister. An air of malice went around my neck like a noose.” Love that line. Chapter 19 is mad crazy, horror at its finest.
Yeaaaasssssss Hannah!!! Soooo good to see your lovely face and hear your wonderful voice again!! Take any break you need, at any time, for any length, I will always be excited to see your videos and passionate about you taking care of yourself while on hiatus. Such a fun video! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on these books!
Since you loved Camelot and all that history stuff, you should DEFINITELY try merlin on Netflix. I’ve absolutely loved it when I was younger and still do. Gonna re watch it soon 😭♥️
HANNAH, it's so nice to see you again, i've missed you so much 💛 you always inspire me to pick up a book from my shelf and start reading. i really love watching your videos!

Please, please stick around. It's so lovely to see you back! You have enriched my reading so much. ❤
Murakami is amazing! I would definitely suggest starting with Norwegian Wood, such a brilliant book and I think it is a great place for someone who is new to Murakami to start :)
Hannah - I’m so glad you’re back and hope you’re well! When I saw your face pop up in my feed I got so excited - I get many of my favorite reads from your recommendations!
If you really want classic magical realism read “One hundred years of solitude” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Best book ever
It took me 3 months to finish to finish it . It was really hard to read but worth the effort
You need a non spoiler family tree! So many people, so little variation of names 😂
It's been almost a month and I'm still halfway through it lol it's not like I don't like it, I'm absolutely loving it but there's something that keeping me from finishing the book idk why lol I finished more than 3 fat books since I started reading it.
nezukos bamboo nuzzle well I do think it takes more time than other books. It took me like 3 months to read but it was worth it
Jimena Hl it’s on my shelf and on my list 😌
Welcome back!💖 Your videos always put me in a good mood and I am so glad that you're back after that needed break. I hope you have fun filming again💕
I just read The Diviners this year and really enjoyed it!! It’s like, if Stalking Jack the Ripper & Ninth House had a baby, really! :D I’m looking forward to getting stuck into the rest of the books now (especially via audio). I hope you enjoy The King of Crows. 🙌🏻
Same here. Have had the first 3 books on me shelves for ages and can't belive that it has taken me so long to read them. The audiobooks are really good 😊
I just finnished 'Before the devil breaks you' and am imaptiantly, *very* impatiently, waiting for 'King of crows' to arrive in the mail.
I am loving the story! 😍 hope that you enjoy the books too 🤗😀
Anna K Hjelm Aaaah enjoy!!! Thank you :D
I’m so glad you’re back. I literally just finished reading the Infernal Devices series for the first time last night and it was fantastic. I can’t wait to hear what happens in the sequel 🙈🙈
You always have the best recommendations for the best books and all the books you have picked out I ended up loving them!!!! Keep up your amazing work!
(Habits,wisdom & mindset of highly successful people) is the best book available on kindle.
So glad you're back!! I LOVED The Starless Sea so much that I cried during the last 100 pages simply because I didn't want it to end! It's definitely my new favorite book of all time so I hope you love it!!
THE EUPHORIA RUSH I FELT WHEN I SAW THIS IN MY SUBS
I missed you’re videos soooo much. I’m sooo happy you’re back
Little did she know how much reading time she would have in 2020
Super super excited your back while you were gone I watched every single one of your videos and bought every book that you mentioned as good so those are all my books I want to read this year!!❤️
I just finished Station 11 as the rise of coronavirus news took flight... what an interesting time to read that book, but I loved it and can’t wait for the glass hotel!
Thank god 🥺🥺🥺🥺 MISSED YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!! hope you're feeling refreshed and excited to be back!!!
OMG!! When I heard you say that you wanted to you read Murakami I had to stop the video for a moment a process all my emotions - Murakami is my favorite author EVER I am so exited for you to get to know him. I think you should start with Nowegian Wood, is not that big as other of his books, but also I absolutely LOVE The wind-up bird chronicle
So glad you're back! 💜 I need to read The Dark Vault too, Schwab is my absolute favourite author and it's one of the only books I haven't read by her.
I didn't even realize how much I missed your voice.
Welcome back, Hannah!!! So glad you took the time to take care of YOU! It is so WONDERFUL to see you again. Love and lots of hugs!!! And yes, I am looking at "The Truthwitch" series as next on my TBR along with "The Priory of the Orange Tree." We will plow through these behemoth books together.
For 2020 the one thing I have to hold up and praise is Miracle Maiden (horror/adventure).
It follows the story of a young girl named Kea and starts up with her being kidnapped by a group led by a noble woman named Miyune Leestel.
Miyune takes her under like a daughter, and ere kicks off one of the most unique stories I’ve ever seen. Shouts to the dark presence haunting kea, it’s soooo unsettling.
“A familiar presence made itself known, and a shiver ran down my spine. Something started to tug at my soul, something sinister. An air of malice went around my neck like a noose.”
Love that line. Chapter 19 is mad crazy, horror at its finest.
Yeaaaasssssss Hannah!!! Soooo good to see your lovely face and hear your wonderful voice again!! Take any break you need, at any time, for any length, I will always be excited to see your videos and passionate about you taking care of yourself while on hiatus. Such a fun video! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on these books!
OH MY GOD I’ve missed you so much 🥺❤️✨

Since you loved Camelot and all that history stuff, you should DEFINITELY try merlin on Netflix. I’ve absolutely loved it when I was younger and still do. Gonna re watch it soon 😭♥️

The house of the spirits is so good, I love Isabel Allende! Hope you enjoy it and every other book on this list 💙
