Before I saw this, I was so proud of my 17 books in 2014.
The mistborn series is also my favorite of this year. I can't top thinkking about how perfectly the world building and plot are. It's just another league. The way he wraps things up is incredible... I would always want more.
Currently reading the first book in the Mistborn series because you WON'T STOP talking about it!!
Definitely going to be picking up a few more of these books as about half of this list is already currently sitting on my shelf waiting to be read!
I've been looking for booktubers lately to get back into reading again. So far, your taste in books seem to match mine the most out of everyone else I've watched on TH-cam! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait too see what else you'll recommend.
Vicious, The Mistborn Trilogy and The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender were my top three books(or series) this year!
I have the Mistborn Trilogy ready on my shelf to read - as soon as my exams are done, I am on that!!
You've had such an amazing year of reading, 125 books - go you! A Monster Calls was so heart wrenching!
I completely agree with The Lumatere Chronicles. Although I've only read the first one so far, I absolutely LOVED it. Evanjalin is my girl. I found The Storied Life!! It was in paperback but yes! I am so excited to read it! You had so many fantastic choices.
I love the passion you always bring to your reviews! You make them sound so exciting, like, I have to read those books now!
Also, loved how you described Patrick Ness's writing as 'delicious', exactly how I would describe it
A Monster Calls had me sobbing on the phone to my mother. It's such a simple book but so truly extraordinary!
And I adored Ready Player One. It was executed so perfect, the antagonist was awesome and I just loved Halliday. Like, using your death to get people interested in what you're interested in, is so brilliant.
Also, because historical fiction has never been my thing, I gifted 'All the Light We Cannot See' to my friend for Christmas after hearing about it from you. Might have to steal it back sometime!
I loved the summer trilogy! I read it 3 years ago and the story still sticks to me. I find myself thinking about the characters once and a while even today
Every time you post a video I just get so excited and my day just gets better!!!
Yay for Mistborn, of course! I was getting a little worried when it was getting to the end of your list and hadn't heard it yet. Then, poof, it's there! All is right with the world again! 😄
Happy New Year!
OMG I LOVED THE SUMMER SERIES!!!!! Jenny Han's books are like PERFECTION!
Omg I read 124 books this year , great reading year 😁
You're always so good at convincing me to pick things up. Now I want to read ALL of these. Great video, as per usual. Also, your makeup is always on point. I'm jealous of your liquid eyeliner skills.
This is just an editting thing, but could you keep the pictures of the books up longer? For those of us with short term memory :p so we don't have to click back and lose our spot. Thanks :)
TallythePlantEater Of course! I also have a list of all the books in order down in the description!
I love Mistborn!!! I feel like it is so under appreciated for how fantastic the series is!
14 out of 120?How did you choose?Wow.
I actually read the Summer trilogy this year as well because of how much you talked about it,I loved this series so much.Aristotle and Dante was also incredible,I just really want to re-read it this year.You really make me want to read a lot of the others,though,they sounded brilliant before,but if they're among your favourites,they must really be great.And I think I want the Ava book to be my first read of 2015,I still haven't decided,because (for some magical reason) I seem to think I must start the year with something brilliant.
I keep pestering you about The Way of Kings, as I know it's on your shelf. I know you love Sanderson, so this is a must. It's by far my favorite Sanderson.
Happy new year! A lot of these are going to be on my "to be read" shelf for 2015!
lol, I'm new to your channel and just watched 3 of your videos (LGBTQ books, favorite contemporary reads, and this one) and in all three you mention the aristotle and dante book!! I have to read it now!!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO THE ENTIRE YEAR AND I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED
TRUE DEDICATION
The shock of the fall is wonderful I just loved it, I can relate to the mental illness as it's been primary in my family over the past few years. I just want every single book you've talked about! I've already bought 10 books this year it's not even February yet, I need help! Hahaha lovely video xxx
A monster calls did destroy me. I read it at 1am in the morning and finished it by 4am. And it completely destroyed me. All the tears.
I love your hair like this! I really need to read Throne of Glass and the rest of those books!
absolutely love watching your best books videos, and this one just pushed me to read and purchase alot of these books. I've only read a few on here which makes me so sad! But honestly can't wait to start, thanks!
The Summer I Turned Pretty series was amazing
I totally agree about Brandon Sanderson.
I just read Steelheart and i imagined a bunch of ways of how the book would end, and none of them was even close.
It was just mind blowing.
You should read it.
One of my favourite books this year is Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick! I know it didn't come out in 2014 but wow it's amazing
I literally own all 14 of these but I've only read 5. Looks like I've got a good 2015 ahead of me!
Also I read A Monster Calls right after I lost my cat in October, who was pretty much my best friend for 14 years. It was a gift to have been able to read it at that time.
Well done Regan, you just successfully convinced me to spend all of my saving for those wonderful books... Also your lipstick is on fleek ;)
i'm so excited to read these, regan!! i completely trust you when it comes to book recommends
bellbooks :'D
I must read the Mistborn trilogy!! I heard others not liking The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender, but if you say it is good then...
Your eyes are so pretty. I love the Summer I Turned Pretty. All my friends read it and didn't like the main character but I loved the series and read it over, also a lot of people on goodreads didn't like it either that much
I have so much respect for you, your videos are like pure gold!
Gosh I am so glad that I found your Channel Regan! My TBR list has increased exponentially! Great list my friend, I can't wait to see more vids this year! :) Also we have the same name (except we spell them differently) so obvi we're twins.
I was certain that All the Light We Cannot See would be number one for you! But then when Mistborn was #1 I understood!
Great list! And Night Film sounds awesome! I'll definitely be reading that one!
Really great video! I definitely want to read The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender soon!
My favorite book of 2014 was The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova. It has to do with art, heartbreak, mystery, and history. Oh it is sooooo good! ☺️
All those books sound super good. I need to read them. And this might sound weird but oh well, you have the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen! I couldn't stop staring at them. Good for you!
I have not read Dante and Aristotle but I did grow up in El Paso. And it is awful there! Now I want to read this book!!!!
I just realized that you have green eyes and their really lovely.
It's called The Shock of the Fall here (in the UK), too - Nathan's British. :) I've heard so many great things about Ready Player One that I think it's time I tracked it down! x
Oh, and I'm going to be uploading my 2014 Favourites on Monday, but my absolute favourite read of the year was The Book of Strange New Things by Michel Faber - which is stupendously excellent! x
From all the times I've seen you talk about them, I'm definitely going to have to pick up the Finnikin of the Rock series, and Night Films, too! Every book I've read on your recommendation I've loved - especially Vicious and anything of Brandon Sanderson's - so I hope I'll enjoy these, too :3
The Shock of the Fall is still called that in the UK. Amazing book! Great list =)
RamblingsOfAnElfpire I know! I meant to say American.. I actually own a UK edition of the book.
PeruseProject Ah...I think The Shock of the Fall definitely suits the book better as a title though xD
I totally agree!
I'm reading The Shock of the Fall at the moment, so good!
you know a book has been talked about a lot when you go to add it to your amazon wish list and find that it is already there...
Your lipstick is awesome (as always)! You look like Taylor Swift :) Great video! 120 books is like wow! I didn't read that many, but I loved this video because these are all books I've heard of, but haven't read so YAY for more on my TBR list!
Sara Ella Thanks so much!
PeruseProject what shade/brand is your lipstick ? I need it in my life! Also, love your vids :)
TheChristianna321 I think is dragon girl by nars or at least she mentioned that she loved that lipstick in other video.
I am so happy The Shock of the Fall is on your list because it totally ruined me for an entire week and doesn't get nearly enough attention.
I'm surprised you didn't mention "The bronze horseman"!
My god I love your green eyes
Excited to read All the Lights We Cannot See after watching this video☺
You make me want to read mistborn so bad. I'm waiting until it can get all three books of the uk covers
We have the same title for The Shock Of The Fall in the UK. Great book though.
Think the author is a mental health nurse, so it helps with how realistic he can make it.
Hey
Thought I'd let you know I have read The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Eva Lavendar and loved it. When I reviewed the book I credited you for your recommendation for the book in this video, including a link to this video.
I would like to read Gone girl SERIES!
Ever read the "Gone" series by Michael Grant
Throne of Glass series*
Trying to decide if i take all my money RIGHT NOW and spend in Vicious/The Finnikin series/All Light We Cannot See or just do it later haha. I read almost all of Sanderson books and just have to tell you: read the Stormlight Archive series, like, just stop everything and buy those books (they are the best thing i could have ever found in 2014, Sanderson is just amazing).
Cauê Carneiro I would say now..
omg i love you!!, you read the kind of books i also like reading, i love you!!!
I'm reading the last book in the Mistborn series right now! It is the first type in this genre I've read and I think I've ruined it for myself...question though- would you suggest "The Alloy of Law?" I think this is my second fav series ever.(first being The Chaos Walking" trilogy, seriously think we're reading twinsies 😜
You have amazing taste in books. :D Subscribed.
i'm kinda confused, i have Shock Of The Fall and i live in England???
I loved Ready player one. Every geek should read it
Im sure you've heard this a million times, but it is uncanny how much you look like Freya Mavor.
can you read the finnikin of the rock books out of order? or not?
transcends oh OMG amazing book if you know any other books like that please let me know
hair so cuuuute
How long you take to read like a 300-400 Pgs book?
Regan, I really hope you look back and read this because you and every body else on this page need to read "The Lesser Blessed" by Richard Van Camp! It is the funny and disturbing and tragic story of a teen Aboriginal boy living in the Northwest Territories of Canada and it will send you into an emotional black hole. Just read it, everyone. It's beautiful. And short so you can read it in one sitting. READ IT NOW!
I was kind of expecting The Bronze Horseman 😉
Isn't Gillian pronounced Jillian?
In the audiobook version of Gone Girl they pronounced it with a hard G.
Cool, unusual name. Thanks! Cathy Burnsed

Greetings from Venezuela
After you strongly recommended your favorite trilogy so much, i'm worried if i read this first i will be left disappointed with other fantasy trilogies... #bookdilemmas LOL
125 books in a year.... omg :(( so jealous
GoT??
I loved Throne of Glass, but I couldn't get through the second book. The romance totally took over and it ruined the book, imo
Great video!
Thanks!
i like your hair
I really like you.
you're my role model :)
11:31
read horrorstor!
The Summer I Turned Pretty is actually the worst book I've read :(
Brasil *-* /
Most over rated book series of 2014 goes to...
Throne Of Glass.
I hate Celaena so much, she is such a Mary Sue.
A Monster Calls just ripped my heart out of my chest and crushed it.
Connor O'Brien i feel ya on that
Reagan! You make me want my hair chopped! Seriously, though your hair is gorg!
I really really loved the mistborn trilogy and I totally read it because of you! I've seen you mention it in sooo many of your videos :b so glad I picked it up! - I mean, I still have a little bit to finish of the 3rd book, but it's less than a half.
The only thing was that I felt there was a lack of female characters, aside from Vin and Tindwyl everyone else was a guy, of course Vin being the main character is already amazing, but I still feel like there is a strong need of more female kick-ass characters in the Epic-Fantasy genre.
Great video - a bit roughly edited in some parts, you cut your own sentences ^_^ - but great nonetheless (:
this video will make me poor
Amazing year of reading :)
Nice list girl! I guess I still have to read night film, shock of the fall and obviously a monster calls 😱
Jellafy Yeah if we're gonna be twins you better do that ;D
I love you... I'm gay, so you can do whatever you want, but will you marry me? I just want you in my life... :)))
Hi.
Yeah so? Brandon Sanderson just recently announced 2 more books in the Mistborn world. I can't express how excited I am for these books. They are going to be the first 2 books in the 2nd Mistborn trilogy. (Alloy of Law was sorta a bridge between the two trilogies) They aren't set to be released until late 2015 and early 2016 but it's obvious what books I am most excited for. Anyway, just had to comment about them.
Brent Weeks is an Adult Epic Fantasy Author that's worth looking into. If you love Brandon Sanderson you'll like Brent Weeks. And as you probably know, everyone should Love Brandon Sanderson.
Love your videos!!
Hey Reagan,
Thanks for the great video's, i really like your recommendations and have added them to the book list 100+ a year is impressive; especially for some high fantasy novels. I think I'm going to read Demon King next.
P.S. - Your brother is right - go read the King Killer Chronicles by Rothfuss!
Great video! As per usual, of course. I read Ready Player One this year too, and MY GOSH it was good. And um.... Heir of Fire? WAS AMAZING. I was getting all of the emotions. #celorian #ishipit
