I just bought A Court of Mist and Fury yesterday and I'm looking forward to reading it
Prepare for the biggest book hangover, hahaha. It took me an entire week to recover
sashka slavinski I read it back in May and still haven't recovered. I really am a sad case 😂😂😦
My favorite book of the year. Enjoy it!
it was so good i havent found another good book to pick it up yet o boi
I just finished a court of thornes and roses today I can't wait to get the next one
I pretty much only hear people talking about A Court of Mist and Fury as if it is the best series in the world but I thought there were a lot of problems in the series as well. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the problematic parts
ACOMAF TAKES THE 2016 CAKE FOR ME!!!
Liz Homick COMPLETELY AGREE!
I absolutely adored the Six of Crows duology! It's on my favorite list too (:
Lin-Manuel Miranda is ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Seriously lady, you recommend a book and it goes onto my Amazon wish list. You are bad for my credit card. lmao.
The only ones I've read so far is A Court of Mist and Fury which I just read on Christmas Eve+Christmas Day and like you, couldn't put it down until I was done. It was like "sorry family! No Christmas until I see what happens!" and Three Dark Crowns, which I read on your recommendation and it was such a fun concept and I loved it! I can't wait to see what happens next because holy...that ending!
adding The Black Prism to my tbr immediately
Totally agree! Sounds so good!
Great series.
it's amazing!!!
CarolineCecilia Would teens still enjoy it? Regan describes it as adult but the magic system sounds so fascinating
Erin Brown I personally am 17 years old and I loved it! It is quite long, but it reads very smoothly and I found no trouble keeping up with the plot. After you get used to the terminology it reads like a YA fantasy.
I would suggest reading 'The Help'. It's an amazing book.
The Wise Man's Fear ❤ Let's hope 2017 is the year when the third book will be coming out 😉
Helene Jeppesen i hope too
Fat chance
I may or may not have said many prayers that sound a lot like that... haha!
yeah... I heard from someone that apparently Pat finished writing the third book, but it's the last book in the trilogy, and he has a lot of questions to answer and loose ends to tie, so maybe it's taking a while to edit....?I dunno. I just hope it comes out as soon as possible
"fantasy series...lin manuel-miranda..." okay I'm sold, I'll be buying the first book tomorrow!
Jacqueline Woodson's Brown Girl Dreaming is beautiful. She's a wonderful writer!
Some of my favorites are The Foxhole Court, Made You Up, and Lady Midnight
Koko Chen loved Made you Up
yesss the foxhole court!! one of my faves of this year as well :) lady midnight as well!!
My favourite books that I read in 2016 was the Six of Crows duology, The Nightingale, Legend, The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, Shadow and Bone, and Crown of Midnight.
Do yourself a favor Regan and read Stormlight Archive, it's even better than The Mistborn Trilogy and I loved that trilogy so freaking much
Yes, Stormlight is so good!
It's unbelievable Tilia, I read Way of Kings and Words of Radiance back to back 2 weeks ago, safe to say I can't start any epic fantasy book until now cause they were such a masterpiece.
lin manuel miranda is producing a name of the wind tv show - I am so excited! I need to third book already
I read 54 books this year, graduated from undergrad and started grad school. It's been busy FOR sure but I took so many of your recommendations in my reading list this year! I HATE Sci-Fi, but still managed to really enjoy Illuminae and Gemina. Also, just finished Three Dark Crowns and I totally agree with your statement about it being underrated. I'm really looking forward to One Dark Throne. 2017 needs to get here faster!
There are so many books that I have to read!
TheCatTheHat same
OMG I didn't know that The Kingkiller Chronicles was going to be a TV series AND a movie! And Lin-Manuel Miranda... I'm speechless and so happy right now. I hope it ends being awesome!
I'm SO PUMPED for the Kingkiller adaptations going on. One little thing--Lin's going to be involved in ALL of the adaptations!! The announcement of his involvement just happened to coincide with the announcement that the TV series was green lit. He'll also be a consulting producer (specifically for music) for the movie adaptations!!!
ACOMAF is in my favorites list too! I'm currently listening to the audiobook of Three Dark Crowns!
The King Killer Chronicles is just AHHHHHHHH best books ever, can't WAIT for the third one!
Yessssss I'm currently reading A Wise Man's fear so I'm so pleased to see it on here! I find your pronunciation of Kvothe hilarious - I say (Kothe), rhymes with clothe, hahaha
omg Lin-Manuel Miranda is going to be involved in a KingKiller Chronicles tv show?! Well now I must prioritize continuing with the KingKiller chronicles
I didn't know The Kingkiller Chronicles are gonna be adapted by Lin-Manuel Miranda! This sounds so fantastic!
Did you know that throne of glass too is becomming a tv-series? 😊
All these books sound so good! I will definitely be reading the Black Prism series this year! :)
Flamecaster, yes!! I read that and the Seven Realms series this year and they've been my favourite reads of the year. Super excited for the second book in this new series next year.
I really want to read three dark crowns
Miriam W-S it was really great!! You'll get to a certain part and won't be able to stop yourself from reading!!
Miriam W-S it is sooooo good!!! 👌👌👌
Please read it!!! The slow build-up in the beginning was worthwhile!
It took me a really long time to get into it and i didn't think i would carry on with the next book but towards the end i was like YES, so it might seem like a book you're not loving but then it just gets awesome in the second half so if you start it and it seems like you might not be loving it just push through!
Miriam W-S WARNING: The middle is horrible
the black prism concept sounds so interesting and creative, I'll add it to my long loong tbr :)
Thank you so much for talking about Shattered Realms. Seven Realms is my favorite series, and I started reading Flamecaster, but I was so broken hearted I had to put it down. I have been scared to pick it back up, but now I have the courage once again!
Desperately want to read Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom next year. ACOMAF was my #1 this year :)
I loved "The Emperor's Blades", "The Name of The Wind", "Wise Men's Fear", "Six of Crows", "Assassin's Apprentice", "The Penderwicks in Spring" and "The Foxhole Court" (whole trilogy) :D Safe to say I had a great reading year!
My favorites this year wet If I Stay, The Walking Dead Volumes 25-26, Outcast Volumes 1-3, Warm Bodies and The Madman's Daughter
For all of you that love fantasy books like Name of the Wind (Kingkiller Chronicles), you would probably love the Gentlemen Bastard series by Scott Lynch as well. The first one being The Lies of Locke Lamora. There are currently three out, and more to come. It's my favorite currently running fantasy series!
Regan you always look so pretty in your videos! I'm so jealous of your freckles!!!!
Some favorites of mine this year: The Six of Crows duology, Vicious, The Song of Achilles, The Queen of Blood, A Monster Calls, Heartless, The Gentleman
And i darken and morning star! Those were my absolute favorites! So good!
I really LOVED the third book of The School for Good and Evil series!!!
I need to buy "The Black Prism", just because of you, Regan! I really trust in your reviews!
Just ordered Three Dark Crowns because of you and am very excited about it! It kinda sounds like Stardust, I love it
The Black Prism is one of the first books on my 2017 TBR! I really want to read more adult fantasy and sci-fi this year.
I love your recommendations! Thank you for continuing to make so many book-themed videos. I always look forward to them.
Really wanna read the Black Prism series after a year of listening to you raving about it🙌🙌🙌
I really don't know why, but I trust your judgement and almost every book you talk about, you get me hooked on and wanting to buy it. Also you're inspiring me to get out of my atrocious reading slump and just get reading, reading, reading!
The Lightning Thief and everything else in the Percy Jackson universe! I read those two series in one year xD
Ahh I swear most of my favourite books this year were recommended by you Regan, you have a way with words and making me NEED every book you talk about haha. Anyway I read and LOVED the first two books of the Mistborn series, the first two in the Lightbringer series, The Martian by Andy Weir (yay mars and non boring science) and the Six of Crows duology in 2016. I'm hoping to get through a bunch of unfinished series next year, and now you've sold me on Three Dark Crowns ripppp. Hope anyone who bothered to read my rambling is having a great day, HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Awesome reading year! Literally every book you mentioned that I haven’t read yet is on my TBR! I also thought the Six of Crows Duology was absolutely incredible. I similarly was engrossed in ACOMAF- looking back I can definitely recognize its problems but at the time of reading I loved it. Unfortunately I didn’t love Three Dark Crowns- I just couldn’t get into it, but I’m glad you loved it!💗
made my day that you mentioned the black prism series. the fourth book is so good.
Reagan ( I guess I spelled your name wrong.If I did, then I am really sorry about it), first of all, belated merry Christmas!! I was quite surprised when u included Brown girl dreaming in your list because people don't talk about it very often in Booktube. I bought this book a few days ago but haven't really started reading it. I hope it's amazing. Also, I read the nightingale a few weeks ago because you recommended the book in one of your videos and, oh boy, it was absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so so so much for recommending the nightingale!!
I was hesitant for three dark crowns but I finally picked it up because of you Reagan. I've been watching you for a while and I trust your recommendations :)
I bought three dark crowns cause of your recommendation and I'm LOVING it!!!! Such a fan of your videos :)
i read the final empire from the mistborn series!! and i looooove it!! brandon sanderson knows how to put together an amazing story 👌👌👌👌
I read the Slated trilogy this year. It's a psychological thriller where the main character has like four different names from specific years of her life. It was probably one of my favorite reads besides the Lunar Chronicles series.
its pronounced "fay-ra" BTW lol. and its actually gonna be a 8 book series, 6 novels and 2 novellas
Alyssa Arts whoa it's an eight-book series now???!
Gabrielle Mabazza it Was announced in July lol
Yes but A Court of Ruin and Wings is going to be the last book following this characters I believe. De next book wil follow new characters
Some of my favorite are ACOMAF, An ember in the ashes & Paper princess ❤️
Three Dark Crowns ❤️ Can't wait for the sequel after leaving us with that major cliffhanger.
The Nightingale was one of my favourite books of the year too, I absolutely loved it, it made me cry so much!
Some of my other favourites were: The Trials of Apollo by Rick Riordan, A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, Brain on Fire by Susannah Cahalan and In the Afterlight by Alexandra Bracken. It was a pretty good reading year, I read lots of good books and not many were 1 or 2 star ratings.
Finally! Someone with good taste in books! Can't wait to watch your other videos!
So many awesome books! So many I still need to read!
Loved A Court of Mist and Fury! Can't wait for the next one!
I meant to get to Flamecaster this year and never did! I'll definitely have to soon! I haven't really heard anyone talk about it so I'm glad you enjoyed it! Loved the first series!
This Savage Song sounds amazing! I definitely needs to pick that up!
three dark crowns sounds so interesting.. the way regan describes it makes me want to pick it up next.. but i still have a lot of unread books and series in my shelf 😭😭😭
Ugh, I love when I read a YA book without romance! It truly is so refreshing. Don't get me wrong, I love a bit of good romance, but it can get very annoying and repetitive. I've always preferred action over romance anyway :)
I'm gonna go look for the Black Prism series, I'm sold. Also three dark crowns looks really good!!
Just got Three Dark Crown for Christmas. It sounds so amazing. I can't wait to read it!
The Wise Man's Fear and The Nightingale are 2 of my favorites of 2016 too!
I just started reading the black prism this past week because of you. :)
ah you make me want to read so many books! I've only read the six of crows duology and I want to read them all... really like your channel btw, you're very energetic
The Black Prism sounds so good!
I also loved Three Dark Crowns!!! I read through it super quickly, and while I did pretty much guess the ending, that probably made me like it even more because it was exactly the direction I was hoping it was going in.
I couldn't help myself and bought three dark crowns and this savage song while the Ebooks were on sale and now I'm really glad I bought them
Girl I've been waiting since I was a sophomore in high school (currently a senior in college) for the next KKC book. I wish I could say I've given up but rather I'm just in severe denial about how much I love those books, and as soon as we get any news, I'm sure I'll be in line at some midnight release.
WHAT?! LIN IS PRODUCING THE KINGKILLER CHRONICLES TV-SHOW??!!
OHMYGOD.
(I shall calm down now.)
The Nightingale was my favorite!!! It had such an impact!
you had me at "no romance". finally!!! (would love to see other books recommended that specifically don't have romance in them)
Literally my favorite video of the year!
One really amazing book I read this year was The Alex Crow by Andrew Smith. It's completely insane (a bit like Grasshopper Jugnle was) but it deals with some really dark topics as well. The main character is actually a refuge from the middle-east. In the present of the book he's in a foster family in America, but you also read from his past POV where he's in refuge camps and it has really had a strong lasting impact on me.
Nightingale was the most emotionally moving read for me as well. Hopefully I'll get to the Lightbringer series next as it was all you could talk about in 2016 ;)
I read Three Dark Crowns yesterday and I'm hooked! I believe that it is a series so I can't wait for the next book!!!
I already had a list of books I need to read and it just keeps expanding!!
Some of my faves this year are The Storyteller, Every Last Word, The Raven King, The Son of Neptune, Rebel Spring and Gathering Darkness 😊
Oh, and some books I can really recommend are Stoner by John Williams, Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, The Long Walk by Richard Bachman (Stephen King) and The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey (I think you even own that one), those were some wonderful books!
Favorite books of this year were the Red Rising Trilogy (absolutely fantastic series, kept me on my toes and was so unpredictable), An Ember in the Ashes & A Torch Against the Night, and I'm currently reading Six of Crows and I already know it's gonna be a top book, i love it so much
I absolutely agree with most of the books and cannot wait to read three dark crowns, it sounds super amazing!
i read ACOTAR and i enjoyed it a lot! can't wait to read ACOMAF!
I loved Six of Crows and I really wanna get the second book.. I've heard a lot of great things about Illuminae, might pick it up soon..
I'm really interested on reading Three Dark Crows and The Black Prism trilogy..
"Three Dark Crowns" was my fav book too. Can't wait for the next book!
I LOVE LIN MANUEL MIRANDA. Omg, I feel like I'm just as obsessed with Hamilton as you are.
I really loved All The Ugly & Wonderful Things
I'm in the middle of Three Dark Crowns right now and literally every single person that will listen I'm talking their ear off about how dang cool it is. So unique.
The Nightingale just barely missed making my list. Three Dark Crowns was on my list and I had two Schwabs on there too
Great list! I'm glad that you were honest about the problematic aspects of ACoMaF.
Also, completely agree about The Nightingale... such an amazing book. I'll have to look into Brown Girl Reading, it sounds like a good read.
Ya! No particular order! Oh I have to check those writings!!
I had a couple of 5 star reads this year: Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline which was deliciously quirky and tickled my nostalgia bone in the best way possible!
I loved the Sarah Andersen's comics collection, Adulthood is a myth, and I can't wait for the next one!
I really enjoyed an Ember in the Ashes, by Sabaa Tahir and finally, I adored The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender.
If you like High Fantasy, you should definitely check out Robin Hobb and Trudi Canavan, they have some great series to sink your teeth into.
My two favourites from this year were (finally) reading The Martian, and also A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet.
I trust your recommendations 100% ever since I picked up Six of Crows and loved it after you recommended it. Will add Black Prism to my list. Thanks and happy new year!
Lady Midnight:)
Just got in line for Black Prism, Warrior Heir, and Six of Crows! Thanks for the recommendations!! :)
fun fact about six of crows: "Kerch" is a combination of the words "Church" and "Kerk" (the Dutch word for Church, since Kerch was also based on the Verenigde Nederlanden/ the Netherlands in the 1600's) because of events that happen in Crooked Kingdom
Three Dark Crowns was so cool! Thanks for giving it a shoutout!!!
Will the Rothfuss adaptation be in hip hop style? Haha just joking, after Moana I know Lin-Manuel Miranda could pull off anything!
I bought The Black Prism for my brother for Christmas on your recommendation!
