    AHAHAH your attitude in this video basically sums up how I feel about 2017

    Books aside, I am LOVING that intro (because let's face it we all feel the same about 2017!) and that dress/top is SO nice! I think I'm going to treat myself to Every Heart a Doorway, I keep seeing it and I really want it!
    I agree that Crooked Kingdom felt like a whole new level!

      I don't feel that way about 2017. It was a fantastic year for me!

    You re-reading Carry On all the time is the most relatable thing honestly I read it again this year as well

    The gentlemans guide to vice and virtue was one of my favourite books this year as well as Lord of Shadows! I also took the plunge and finally read all of Sarah J Maas' books in 2017 and I was not disappointed, I'm so invested in the characters lives right now that I don't understand why I took so long to read them!! And I also read the Six of Crows duology and am officially in love with all of the characters and the world, I need more books about those characters 😩 (side note- I love your top in this video, its so pretty 😊)

  • @patriciarubino2336
    @patriciarubino2336 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My favorite book of 2017 was Strange the Dreamer, i love it so so much! Can't wait for the sequel to come out! You need to read it!!! I read the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy because you talk about it so much in you channel and it was the best and now i'm a big Laini Taylor fan!
    Love your videos Kat, hope you have a great 2018!

  • @frenchtoastnbooks5955
    @frenchtoastnbooks5955 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love how you recapped all the books you read before diving into your favorites.
    I'm reading A History Is All You Left Me right now and I'm enjoying it so far. I read More Happy Than Not last month and it made my favorite reads list, so I'm feeling positive.

    • @getyoucrayon13
      @getyoucrayon13 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      frenchtoast 'n' books Don't read 'They Both Die At The End'! It's great but absolutely heart-wrenching.

    • @frenchtoastnbooks5955
      @frenchtoastnbooks5955 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      getyourcrayon13 I'm sure I will if I also like History Is All You Left Me. I also like reading heart-wrenching stories. It's also why I watch dramas.

    @whimsicalhufflepuff6775 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    The fact that Geekerella is on both Christine's and your top 5 lists is just making me so antsy to read it. I thought it was coming in the mail today, but I'm still anxiously awaiting for it.

    • @hibaz5157

      @whimsicalhufflepuff6775 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I read it yesterday. In its entirety. I've been waiting for it for so long and I've been in the mood for a fluffy read, not that it's All fluffy, so I just zipped right through it (good thing it was my day off of work). I enjoyed it so much.

    YES the Six of Crows duology is such a masterpiece! 🙌 I'm currently reading A Conjuring of Light and I'm so with you on the Schwab obsession. Her worlds and writing are so good! I'm planning to get to the Monsters of Verity duology this year. Have you read The Girl of Fire and Thorns trilogy? Because they were my favorite reads of 2017 and I can't stop raving about them.

    @MsLPSFOREVER 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your intro in this video is life. I'm glad you feel the same way I do about ACOWAR, loved it, but still wasn't a top fave of mine. Although Crooked Kingdom wasn't a huge love of mine, I liked the first book better. I can't wait to read the Wayward Children series and Sleeping Giants. I'm probably going to buy those soon.

  • @Dragondarkness30
    @Dragondarkness30 7 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @JulianTheRanger
    @JulianTheRanger 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you're into internal drama and close relationships, check out If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio! It's about a bunch of Shakespeare theatre students at an exclusive arts school and shit goes down. It's awesome and has amazing staging descriptions and the author has an MA in Shakespeare and it's delightfully nerdy sometimes because of it. Also, I think you haven't read anything by Robin Hobb? Read them, they're so good! Personally I recommend starting with Assassin's Apprentice, but you could also go for the Liveship Trader trilogy or the Rain Wild Chronicles.

  • @abbey9030

    I only have three words for you this year and they are STRANGE THE DREAMER. Honestly, Kat, I like you very much and want you to be happy and I deeply believe that this will make you so, at least a little. Hands down, favourite book of 2017. :)

    I loved Lord of Shadows and Court of Wings and Ruin! Like you said their angst was my angst! :)

  • @rowenblue
    @rowenblue 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I know what you mean about Turtles All the Way Down. I felt like that too for most of the book. I think the ending saved it for me though. Not that it needed saving per say; it was good all the way through, but you know, saved it in terms of enjoyableness. The main thing I love about john's books has always been the endings -- the punch line, the take home message, you know? That moment where you notice all the little seeds he's been planting, the symbolism you didn't realize was symbolism and the way it strings together? So yeah, I agree it wasn't very enjoyable but it still managed to make me love it by the end!

  • @ishashah6456

  • @happyelephantbooks8803
    @happyelephantbooks8803 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @Katytastic
      @Katytastic  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @happyelephantbooks8803 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Katytastic oh my bad! I thought it was 2017, it's because I got to it too slow. I can't wait! Can't wait for your review on it too :)

  • @karkatvantas9557
    @karkatvantas9557 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Aaaaaah! 2017 books you need to read. The first two are technically end of 2016 books but whatever.
    _Timekeeper_ by Tara Sim - A gay clock mechanic falls in love with a clock spirit, which is illegal. Also there's terrorism and beautiful cars and mystery and wonderful relationships and time getting stopped and everything is adorable but the angst is _real_ . Would've probably been my favourite book of 2017 if not for Lord of Shadows, HiAYLM and such.
    The _Half Bad_ trilogy by Sally Green - The last book, _Half Lost_ , came out towards the end of 2016. Half Bad is brutal and unforgiving and repeatedly punches you in the gut. And just when you think everything will be okay it ambushes you and pummels you into the ground. But in a good way. Nathan goddamn Byrn is one of the strongest, most admirable protagonists I've ever read about and all I care about is his happiness.
    _The Rules and Regulations for Mediating Myths & Magic_ by F. T. Lukens - A boy gets a job in the hopes of making enough money to go to college, but it turns out the job he gets is working for a man who mediates between the magical world and the human world. Adorable and fun but it really nails the emotional beats when it needs to.
    _Warcross_ by Marie Lu - A bounty hunter hacker gets a job working for the most powerful, richest man in the world in order to take down another hacker. In order to do this she is entered into the championship game of Warcross, _the_ virtual reality video game. Fantastic story with brilliant characters and great world-building.
    _Release_ by Patrick Ness - A closeted gay boy goes through a particularly bad day. At the same time, the ghost of a murdered girl rises from the lake she drowned in. Powerful and poignant, Ness knocks it out of the park.
    _The Language of Thorns_ by Leigh Bardugo - A collection of Grimm-esque fairy tales set in the Grishaverse. It was an utterly amazing book and I think everyone should read it.

    GIRL YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL WTFFFFFFFF I CAN'T EVEN!!!!! AH, I'm so glad you enjoyed Seanan Maguire's books! I want to talk about her in a future video of mine and I've heard the books are great, but the fact that you think the books are also great is even better!!! YAY! As for books, I actually REALLY enjoyed Connie's (noodlerella) debut, on audiobook especially (the British accents really make it haha). I can admit that I felt like sometimes things were missing, but when things were not missing they were so fantastic and descriptive and I LOVED the characters and I can't wait for her next book! (It's Undercover Princess from the Rosewood Chronicles, btw)

  • @Fallen13Angel7
    @Fallen13Angel7 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    My favorite book of the year was A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. I bought Turtles All the Way Down but I haven’t read it yet because I am nervous to read it. My history with his books is kind of hit and miss. I also still have other John Green books to read that I haven’t read yet for the same reason. I want to love them all but I have a feeling I won’t.

  • @leahrosereads
    @leahrosereads 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Excellent list! I'll always agree with anyone putting VE Schwab on their top picks, and I would've too, had I made a video like this. But the top spot would've gone to Strange the Dreamer...and it's the 2017 book I'd recommend you pick up. It was as close to the perfect book at the perfect time for me. It was everything I needed and now I want so much more.

  • @erinmariecece
    @erinmariecece 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am a little intimidated by the Cassandra Clare books- I heard a booktube rumor that City of Bones is hard to get into- I don't want to have to work through an entire book to get to the good stuff. Is it really a rough read?

    I have to back up everything you said about Turtles all the way down! I'm not quite finished it yet, and I've been trying to explain it to my sister, but I couldn't articulate my thoughts like you did. I am really not connected to the story, and I agree that it is an excellent book no doubt, but I am sad to say that I'm not enjoying it :(

  • @StarsAndEmbers
    @StarsAndEmbers 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    If Turtles was not a GREAT read I would suggest Sparrow by Sarah Moon. WONDERFUL debut novel. I hope she brings more to the reading world.

    I love how you speak and make your videos. You're funny. Love you
    I'm reading "History is all you left me" and I like it. It's a great story.

    I think you would really like Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor. I’m about halfway through and it is quite a lovely read! It’s my favorite of 2017 by miles(since I started it in 2017 it counts lol). I am definitely going to pick up more of her work. Congratulations on hitting 45 books! I’m still dragging myself out of a serious slump so I think I only read about 20 or so last year. Hoping to hit 50 this year though! Perhaps sometime I can get back to the 100 I used to reach. :) 2017 WAS a dark year! Three more to go, unless we get really lucky! Still, seeing the videos of you and your friends having such fun at all the bookish events this year certainly brightened things up! I hope 2018 is a wonderful year for you and your friends! Peace

    Loved the video! The lipstick is my jam since everything is all summer and hot in Australia so that dark make up just brings back the winter months, aka. reading months, for me 😂
    My fav were Rick Riordan books (I started Percy Jackson... and then I read everything😂) because I was convinced by you and Jesse and Christina to give it another go and Im so glad I did 😊

    I know you know this but you gotta continu with the brandon sanderson books, if you want something shorter then the stormlight atchive. I highly recomend mistborn second era (i don't think you've read it?) first book is alloy of law and its only a few hundred pages, and its lovely to read about the first series from a two hundred years later perspective; they are actullly my favourit brandon sandeson books (aspecally the third one!). I truly think you would enjoy them, great video as alwasy by the way, i appreciate the effort you put into your content :)

    I'm so happy you enjoyed Geekerella! I'm not normally a huge contemporary lover either (I do enjoy fairytale retellings, though) but it was just SO STINKING ADORABLE!❤!❤!❤! It touched my geeky heart in so many ways, and made me cry, smile, and laugh. I actually finished reading it on my birthday and it just made me so happy I almost felt like it was one of my birthday gifts. Just...GAH! 😍😍😍 Definitely a top favorite from last year.

    Have you read Tower of Dawn yet? I wasn't a Chaol fan where we left off in the series and really didn't think I'd enjoy it but I just finished it and really loved it!
