Another really, really good middle grade series is Keeper of the Lost Cities. I don't know if you have read it, but I just finished up reading it and it is so good. If you want a new fantasy middle grade to read, this would be my first recommendation.
The Rainwild Chronicles read so quickly - they’re different than the other Elderlings instalments but still so great in their own right. I need to finish up Wheel of Time and Stormlight this year. I really want to read more Juliet Marillier too.
I agree--Rainwild is different, but still so wonderful and fun (and fast). Also, I was surprised to find it's not favored by some. I'm a big fan of Marillier's Sevenwaters stuff, and I'm currently reading Warrior Bards and loving it, fwiw.
I read the Strange the Dreamer Duology this year and fell absolutely in love! Muse of Nightmares is excellent! I also read The Song of Achilles and Circe this year and adored both! I hope you love them!❤️
Circe is actually my favorite Madeline Miller, I really hope you enjoy it. Some of the books I'm looking to get to are On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, Piranesi, and then some MASSIVE fantasy series: Stormlight, Green Bone, Liveship Traders, and the First Law Trilogy. Yes, I'm being ambitious, haha, but I've been watching SO many fantasy booktubers lately and these are like THE top series!!
will you do an anticipated 2022 releases video?? i'm always behind on new releases because i never hear about them until they gain popularity so i would love to find a few books to preorder!! (and you're my go-to fantasy recommender hehe)
I really hope you will enjoy Beartown! I'm rereading the series now before reading the last one that came out in Sweden in October (and will be released in the US next year.) Just don't expect it to be as funny as "Ove" cause it has a much darker tone that will probaby make you cry. I'm so impressed by how he can master such dark and importent topics. He's a master with words. #proudswede
@@conork7726 it was always meant to be a trilogy but Fredrik got a burn out after all the fame and touring after de first 2 books. After the pause/sick leave he wrote "anxious people" in the meantime which is a much lighter book before he could finish "The winners". It's supposed to be as good as the others when reading the swedish reviews.
Night Circus is still on my TBR too. Bear town is one of my all time faves. Love Backman. A Tale For The Time Being is also lovely. Some great reading ahead for you. 😊💙
I read the night circus first and was totally not impressed. But the starless sea, oh gawd. Perfection. Glad I attempted it after the night circus. I’m super excited for the rainwild quartet as well. I’m working through the live ship now. I’m excited to watch you this year, Reagan! Happy 2022!
Great list, adding many to my own!! Regan in a previous vid you mentioned that you wanted to read Harrow The Ninth next fall, and ofc you read it whenever you want to, but I just wanted to say that HTN is a very confusing book and reading it much later after GTN may make it even a harder to read since you forget a lot. Also the third book in the series is coming next fall, so I just wanted let you know !! Have a lovely new years
I really am enjoying the rain water chronicles I'm going to be reading the third book in January These violent delights is a great read I haven't read the sequel yet I absolutely loved circe
BEARTOWN!!! One of my favorite books ever! I have a feeling you will really enjoy it! And the third (and final?) book in the series is supposedly going to be translated to English this year!
I found the Night Circus to be very different than Starless Sea - both beautiful in their own right. I really enjoyed The Night Circus but The Starless Sea became one of my all-time favorites. A Gentleman in Moscow is such a fantastic book! So different than anything I've ever read.
Ah, yes, Beartown. Willing to bet that either Fatima, Amat or Benji will be your faves...please be Benji🙏🙏😂😂. Benjamin Ovich is my fave fictional character, like, ever...
The top books that I plan to read in 2022 as well as their release dates are: Chain Of Thorns by: Cassandra Clare (The Last Hours Book 3) Release Date: November 1st, 2022 The Hunger Of The Gods by: John Gwynne (The Bloodsworn Saga Book 2) Release Date: April 12, 2022 BLOODMARKED BY: Tracy Deonn (The Legendborn Cycle Book 2) Release Date: November 8th 2022
I'm most of the way through These Violent Delights and I LOVE IT it's so good. I was worried it wouldn't live up to the hype but I think it really does. I bought a signed copy of the second one from Barnes & Noble a few weeks ago so I can jump right in once I finish the first one! I also really liked The Night Circus. The writing is BEAUTIFUL but I thought the story itself was kind of boring in spots. Circe is fantastic as well. I liked it better than Song of Achilles but they're both amazing.
i (am attempting to) put myself on book buying ban until I finish my physical TBR. but I want to get to it in 2022 so on the top of my list is Plain Bad Heroines, Nest by Terry Goodkind, NOS4A2, The Pariah, and House of Leaves 😭
I need to start reading The Wheel of Time series. I also wanna read Hero of Ages (and hopefully finish 2nd era Mistborn 🤞), The Wolf and the Woodsman and finish Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. I also really wanna read more of what's on my shelves rather than reaching for new books I buy but I'm not sure how well I'll do with that lol.
Hi Reagan. Do you by any chance know if the glossy paperback edition of The Night Circus is still getting printed? I can’t find it anywhere but I’m determined to get this particular edition :p
I want to read my first Robin Hobb series next. I have not yet decided which one to start on, but you really inspired me to finally jump into her work. Also I can't wait for your thoughts on the Night Circus, it was one of my most disappointing reads in 2019.
The top books for me to read are my reread of The Book Of Life by Deborah Harkness before I watch the show. I plan to review this in depth, like I did for A Discovery Of Witches and Shadow Of Night! And books that I’ll use towards my Popsugar 2022 challenge. I’d like to start The Wheel Of Time series, but we’ll see...
I’m going to be reading Malice this year also, along with Nevernight while I’m waiting for their next books. I loved AGIM, then read Rules of Civility and his latest release The Lincoln Highway. I love love love Amor Towles, his writing is beautiful. He is most definitely an auto buy for me now. I also want to read The Night Circus, frankly I’m surprised I haven’t yet, but there’s something that seems to be keeping me away from it. I have to get beyond this and at least give it a try. It sounds like a great year ahead for you.
There are so many books that I have seen recommended here on book tube that I can't wait to get to next year such as: Mistborn Era 2 The Powdermage Trilogy First Law and Best Served Cold The Poppy War trilogy Also going to try to get to Broken Earth as well
I’m so happy you’re reading Beartown! It’s my absolute favorite book and series, and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it 💗 Just a word of warning though, it’s a bit darker than Ove so you should probably adjust your expectations accordingly. It’s such a stunning story, I’m so excited for the third and final book to come out in English in 2022!!
"Welcome to the “The Goblet of the Truth”! To the majority of humanity on planet Earth it is hardly known, that the true prophets who walked the Earth, originated solely from the Nokodemion lineage.

The way you’re making a real dent in Robin Hobbs work is inspiring! I was doing this with NK Jemisin. And now that’s I’ve read all her books, I am a void inside 😢 I immediately felt the need to reread them all because now I can’t imagine going a year without reading anything from her. Personally I preferred the Starless Sea. But the Night Circus is still good.
Omg. If you have not listened to Every Morning the way home gets longer and longer by Fredrik Backman you MUST. The audio books is only an hour long (96 pages) and it had me crying like a baby. Such a beautiful book. From the books that we share similar taste of, I know you’ll love it!
I absolutely love Strange the dreamer. But if I’m being objective, muse of Nightmares is the better book. Both were 5 stars! But if I remove my preference for Lazlo in book one, book 2 is really amazing.
I love your videos. You make me want to read and I have increased my TBR because of you 😁🤣 I wanted to say: - I love A man called Ov - I also loved the Grandmother book by Backman - Beartown is on the TBR, I bought all his books - I loved The Midnight Library and I am a little sad you didn't like it. It reminded me of Being Erica, the TV show - on the other side, I hate (maybe a strong word, but it took me 2 month to finish a book) Robin Hobb. I read 2 trilogies about Fitz and the Fool and I refuse to read the last 3. I can't stand all the bad stuff that happens to the main character. Nobody stands up for him, everybody uses him. That is not ok. BUT! My friend did love this series, she read all 9 books and for her birthday I bought her the Ship and the Dragon books. As you said you would never read A little life, because it is depressing, I can't understand why you love Robin Hobb. She is more than depressing, she is enraging 🤷🏼♀️ Anyway, mostly I just love your videos and I like watching them and adding books to my TBR pile, even horror books, from that October video 🤣 and I don't like Horror, I get nightmares 🤣 I forgot: please stop apologizing for your opinion. It is your opinion and you are allowed to have one. Of course it is "your opinion" that a book is good or bad. Nobody can say a book is good or bad. You can just say if you like it or not. I mean there are classics that are so boring, so I will say I don't like them, not that they are not good. So if someone gets "offended" (because people love to do that now) because of an opinion, it is not your problem. It is your right to have an opinion 🤗. I hope you understand what I mean.
I had to laugh when you said you were planning to read "The Night Circus," because I went to the bookstore yesterday to exchange my new copy for two other books you recently recommended :) I was more drawn to the Synopsis of "Starless Sea," but the bookstore didn't have it, so I settled for "The Night Circus," which I wasn't as excited about due to the circus setting. Amazon's reviews of "Starless Sea" weren't as glowing as those for "The Night Circus," but, given your comments maybe I should give both a try eventually.
i've been thinking really hard about it, and i think A Gentleman in Moscow was my favorite book of the year. it was incredible. so funny and quirky and heartwarming!
I love both of Erin Morgenstern's books. I hope you like Malice. I need to read Ship of Magic, The Dragon Republic, Ruin, and Way of Kings. I have started and stopped Way of Kings like three times, because I still am getting more into 500+ pages. As far as non-fantasy, I need to read Villette, Our Mutual Friend, Brothers Karamazov, Anna Karenina, Paradise Lost, and The Divine Comedy by Dante.
These are my books I want to read this year kingdom of ash,start a court of thorns and roses series,these violent delights series,legend of Korra and avatar graphic novels,graceling,my first Rick riordan book and some fantasy releases from this year and next year.
The Night Circus was very whimsical and the description of the setting really comes off the page, but the plot was disappointing and I felt like all the details and description were surely building towards something, but by the end I felt like it was like describing a weird dream you had… a lot of details leading to really nothing in the end.
Het gebruik van slechts twee plantensoorten tegen een kort gemaaid gazon laat zien hoe slim gebruik van zowel toon als textuur net zo interessant kan zijn als een bloeiende border.
Am I the only one who really disliked Every Heart a Doorway? I get why it's popular, but for me I came away feeling totally differently than I think I was supposed to (about the story and the meta of it all.) Definitely did not read another one...
Everyone says that These Violent Delights is a retelling. In my opinion it’s not. It does play off the original but I feel like it misses a lot of major points in the original. Just my opinion though. I still enjoyed the book just wasn’t what I was expecting.
Hi Regan.....Please check out an indie fantasy called Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent! It was Amazing! It has slavery and romance and battles and magic!!! Really well written from the first page on!!!!
I also need to start the Rain Wild Chronicles! I hope I'll finish the Realm of the Elderlings this year. Circe is great, I hope you'll love that one! If you want the same vibe but in Norse myth retellings, I think you'll like the Witch's Heart a lot! Malice (and the FATF in general) didn't work for me. The writing style is... Not good 😅 But I know a lot of people love it so I hope you will as well!
I want to get caught up on the Valdemar Chronicles and the Shadowhunter Chronicles, and finish the Trials of Apollo. And of course, always queer romances thrown in throughout my 2022 reading. Also a few nonfiction books on Japan (I am a Japan nerd).
I am excited to see what you think of the Night Circus. It was one of my favorite books I read last year. I think if you love the STarless Sea, you will enjoy the Night Circus.
Nice video! Here's one for you! Just finished this book. Cross Kingdom, The Shiva-Gate Conspiracy, written by Reece McKnight. It is action packed and a true page turner. Highly detailed you will be hooked. The book can be found on Amazon and Lulu.
I am sooo surprised you haven't read The Night Circus! I did it enjoy it. I'm glad I read it. But, I can't say it was an absolute favorite, unfortunately. I think it had so much potential and there were parts I loved, but it just didn't come together. But, I certainly hope you love it!
I would recommend the audio book for The Night Circus. Jim Dale does such a beautiful job narrating.
❤️
Another really, really good middle grade series is Keeper of the Lost Cities. I don't know if you have read it, but I just finished up reading it and it is so good. If you want a new fantasy middle grade to read, this would be my first recommendation.
she has :)
The Rainwild Chronicles read so quickly - they’re different than the other Elderlings instalments but still so great in their own right. I need to finish up Wheel of Time and Stormlight this year. I really want to read more Juliet Marillier too.

U
A Gentleman in Moscow got me back into reading 2 years ago!
I read the Strange the Dreamer Duology this year and fell absolutely in love! Muse of Nightmares is excellent! I also read The Song of Achilles and Circe this year and adored both! I hope you love them!❤️
Read Strange the Dreamer forever ago! Never read Muse of Nightmares though. May need to reread Strange so I can finish this duology this year!
Circe is actually my favorite Madeline Miller, I really hope you enjoy it. Some of the books I'm looking to get to are On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, Piranesi, and then some MASSIVE fantasy series: Stormlight, Green Bone, Liveship Traders, and the First Law Trilogy. Yes, I'm being ambitious, haha, but I've been watching SO many fantasy booktubers lately and these are like THE top series!!
I can’t wait to get to Circe! And that is an epic fantasy reading list
Piranesi was my favorite book of the year (and possibly a favorite of all time)!
Can you do a reaction to your 2021 list please!!!!!????!!!!!
Hi I’m a new subscriber love your your TH-cam channel 😀
will you do an anticipated 2022 releases video?? i'm always behind on new releases because i never hear about them until they gain popularity so i would love to find a few books to preorder!! (and you're my go-to fantasy recommender hehe)

I didn't realize it was a trilogy. Beartown was one of the best books I read this year and I'll be reading Us Against You soon
@@conork7726 it was always meant to be a trilogy but Fredrik got a burn out after all the fame and touring after de first 2 books. After the pause/sick leave he wrote "anxious people" in the meantime which is a much lighter book before he could finish "The winners". It's supposed to be as good as the others when reading the swedish reviews.
@@malinankardal2145 great to hear
if you like Song of Achilles and Circe you should check Ariadne by Jennifer Saint.
What reading order would you recommend for Robin Hobb series if starting from the beginning?
Night Circus is still on my TBR too. Bear town is one of my all time faves. Love Backman. A Tale For The Time Being is also lovely. Some great reading ahead for you. 😊💙
I read the night circus first and was totally not impressed. But the starless sea, oh gawd. Perfection. Glad I attempted it after the night circus. I’m super excited for the rainwild quartet as well. I’m working through the live ship now. I’m excited to watch you this year, Reagan! Happy 2022!
I have the THE STARLESS SEA in my stack . Thanks for telling me that .
I have literally been binging your videos for a couple days now😂 i love book videos and watching you talk about books
Great list, adding many to my own!! Regan in a previous vid you mentioned that you wanted to read Harrow The Ninth next fall, and ofc you read it whenever you want to, but I just wanted to say that HTN is a very confusing book and reading it much later after GTN may make it even a harder to read since you forget a lot. Also the third book in the series is coming next fall, so I just wanted let you know !! Have a lovely new years
These are som very valid and helpful points!
I really am enjoying the rain water chronicles I'm going to be reading the third book in January
These violent delights is a great read I haven't read the sequel yet
I absolutely loved circe
BEARTOWN!!! One of my favorite books ever! I have a feeling you will really enjoy it! And the third (and final?) book in the series is supposedly going to be translated to English this year!
Absolutely love Bear Town and the sequel, I'm very excited for the 3rd book to hopefully be published in English in 2022!
my first Backman and some of my favorite reads of the year
I found the Night Circus to be very different than Starless Sea - both beautiful in their own right. I really enjoyed The Night Circus but The Starless Sea became one of my all-time favorites. A Gentleman in Moscow is such a fantastic book! So different than anything I've ever read.
Same. The starless sea is just next level!
I felt the same way about the Starless Sea and was very surprised by the amount of people who didn’t like it!
Bear town….was so bla. His writing was 🙈
Happy to see a back-list read like Ruth Ozeki's book.
Tristan Strong is in my wishlist. 🙏🎁
Ah, yes, Beartown. Willing to bet that either Fatima, Amat or Benji will be your faves...please be Benji🙏🙏😂😂. Benjamin Ovich is my fave fictional character, like, ever...
The top books that I plan to read in 2022 as well as their release dates are:
Chain Of Thorns by: Cassandra Clare (The Last Hours Book 3) Release Date: November 1st, 2022

BLOODMARKED BY: Tracy Deonn (The Legendborn Cycle Book 2) Release Date: November 8th 2022
I haven't read the Night Circus still yet either... hehe
YES CIRCE!!!! I hope you enjoy it. I read that but still not SoA.
I have Beartown on my 2022 TBR as well. I also want to read Strange the Dreamer - I must be the only person left who hasn't read this one!
I'm really hoping to read more Sanderson in 2022
I'm most of the way through These Violent Delights and I LOVE IT it's so good. I was worried it wouldn't live up to the hype but I think it really does. I bought a signed copy of the second one from Barnes & Noble a few weeks ago so I can jump right in once I finish the first one! I also really liked The Night Circus.

Wow… watching this… I swear you and I were in the same room making our priorities list for 2022. Over half of your list is on my list too!
I'm hoping to read every one of Joe Abercrombie's books and get deeper into the WoT as well
First? I've never been first on any famous video, so kinda big deal for me.
My top tbr list for 2022 :
Daevabad Trilogy
The gilded wolves book 2 & 3
King of scars
Acotar series
I fell in love with books after reading ASCENDING WITHIN BY NAVI on Kindle....
I need to start reading The Wheel of Time series. I also wanna read Hero of Ages (and hopefully finish 2nd era Mistborn 🤞), The Wolf and the Woodsman and finish Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. I also really wanna read more of what's on my shelves rather than reaching for new books I buy but I'm not sure how well I'll do with that lol.
Not me screaming OUTLANDER!!! Every time you post about your TBRs 🤣
these violent delights was one of my favorite books of the year, i really hope you like it!
Hi Reagan. Do you by any chance know if the glossy paperback edition of The Night Circus is still getting printed? I can’t find it anywhere but I’m determined to get this particular edition :p
oof I DNF'd These Violent Delights. I felt like the two main characters had no personality
I want to read my first Robin Hobb series next. I have not yet decided which one to start on, but you really inspired me to finally jump into her work. Also I can't wait for your thoughts on the Night Circus, it was one of my most disappointing reads in 2019.

Beartown is already adapted (HBO Nordic) :D
I’m going to be reading Malice this year also, along with Nevernight while I’m waiting for their next books. I loved AGIM, then read Rules of Civility and his latest release The Lincoln Highway. I love love love Amor Towles, his writing is beautiful. He is most definitely an auto buy for me now. I also want to read The Night Circus, frankly I’m surprised I haven’t yet, but there’s something that seems to be keeping me away from it. I have to get beyond this and at least give it a try. It sounds like a great year ahead for you.
I read Bear Town this year and I really liked it! I loved Anxious People by him tho, you should add that one to your list too!
There are so many books that I have seen recommended here on book tube that I can't wait to get to next year such as:
Mistborn Era 2
The Powdermage Trilogy
First Law and Best Served Cold
The Poppy War trilogy
Also going to try to get to Broken Earth as well
I love A Tale For the Time Being!! I read it 2 years ago and it has really stuck with me.
I’m so happy you’re reading Beartown! It’s my absolute favorite book and series, and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it 💗 Just a word of warning though, it’s a bit darker than Ove so you should probably adjust your expectations accordingly.

But if I’m being objective, muse of Nightmares is the better book.
Both were 5 stars! But if I remove my preference for Lazlo in book one, book 2 is really amazing.
Loved this video! Very excited for your thoughts on these!
I love your videos. You make me want to read and I have increased my TBR because of you 😁🤣
I wanted to say:
- I love A man called Ov
- I also loved the Grandmother book by Backman
- Beartown is on the TBR, I bought all his books
- I loved The Midnight Library and I am a little sad you didn't like it. It reminded me of Being Erica, the TV show
- on the other side, I hate (maybe a strong word, but it took me 2 month to finish a book) Robin Hobb. I read 2 trilogies about Fitz and the Fool and I refuse to read the last 3.

I forgot: please stop apologizing for your opinion. It is your opinion and you are allowed to have one. Of course it is "your opinion" that a book is good or bad.

Malice was a phenomenal book I can’t wait to buy the rest!!!!
The series gets better and better! Definitely read the rest😁
I have A Gentleman in Moscow, Night Circus, and Every Heart a Doorway on my list too!
I had to laugh when you said you were planning to read "The Night Circus," because I went to the bookstore yesterday to exchange my new copy for two other books you recently recommended :) I was more drawn to the Synopsis of "Starless Sea," but the bookstore didn't have it, so I settled for "The Night Circus," which I wasn't as excited about due to the circus setting. Amazon's reviews of "Starless Sea" weren't as glowing as those for "The Night Circus," but, given your comments maybe I should give both a try eventually.
Awesome TBR i personally love how you started with Hobb I have enjoyed her books so much this year. Happy New Year to you and Clay.
The night circus is amazing.
Artemis Fowl is a middle grade series that is good as well.
The Bielski brothers is an amazing historical book to read
i've been thinking really hard about it, and i think A Gentleman in Moscow was my favorite book of the year. it was incredible. so funny and quirky and heartwarming!
Night Circus and A Man called Ove were my favorite books in 2021. A Gentleman in Russia is on my radar so we will see if I read it in 2022.
Ughhhh muse of nightmares was so good! And broke my heart. Loved it.
I love both of Erin Morgenstern's books. I hope you like Malice. I need to read Ship of Magic, The Dragon Republic, Ruin, and Way of Kings. I have started and stopped Way of Kings like three times, because I still am getting more into 500+ pages. As far as non-fantasy, I need to read Villette, Our Mutual Friend, Brothers Karamazov, Anna Karenina, Paradise Lost, and The Divine Comedy by Dante.
Awesome list . Best of luck in 2022 .
I've just visited the bookstore last saturday and now I have as many books on my tbr as you have on yours lol!
Why did this book, "The Journey of an Invisible Woman," not make it on the list? Please help me to understand why.
These are my books I want to read this year kingdom of ash,start a court of thorns and roses series,these violent delights series,legend of Korra and avatar graphic novels,graceling,my first Rick riordan book and some fantasy releases from this year and next year.
The Night Circus was very whimsical and the description of the setting really comes off the page, but the plot was disappointing and I felt like all the details and description were surely building towards something, but by the end I felt like it was like describing a weird dream you had… a lot of details leading to really nothing in the end.
Where do you get your copies of Hobb??? They're gorgeous!
They are the UK editions!
Yaaayyy! Thanks for this Regan!!! Joy and love all the way. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Same .
So many books .
So little free time .
Het gebruik van slechts twee plantensoorten tegen een kort gemaaid gazon laat zien hoe slim gebruik van zowel toon als textuur net zo interessant kan zijn als een bloeiende border.
Are your Robin Hobb books the UK versions?
A tale for the time being is one of my favorite books ever!!! 🤩
I just finished Beartown and I'm fully obsessed with it!
it is SOOOOO good! I immediately bought Us Against You right after I finished it.
Am I the only one who really disliked Every Heart a Doorway? I get why it's popular, but for me I came away feeling totally differently than I think I was supposed to (about the story and the meta of it all.) Definitely did not read another one...
I totally thought you’ve read TVD already!!!
My top tbr list for 2022:
Farseer trilogy
King of Scars
From blood and Ash
Inheritance Games
Gods & Monsters
Everyone says that These Violent Delights is a retelling. In my opinion it’s not. It does play off the original but I feel like it misses a lot of major points in the original. Just my opinion though. I still enjoyed the book just wasn’t what I was expecting.
A Tale for the Time Being is so great!
Hi Regan.....Please check out an indie fantasy called Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent! It was Amazing! It has slavery and romance and battles and magic!!! Really well written from the first page on!!!!
One book I definitely want to read in 2022 is The Five!
I also need to start the Rain Wild Chronicles! I hope I'll finish the Realm of the Elderlings this year. Circe is great, I hope you'll love that one! If you want the same vibe but in Norse myth retellings, I think you'll like the Witch's Heart a lot!
Malice (and the FATF in general) didn't work for me. The writing style is... Not good 😅 But I know a lot of people love it so I hope you will as well!
A Gentleman in Moscow is so charming. You WILL love it!
The night circus is also on my tbr 2022
I want to read my e-book backlist. I managed to snag The Poppy War and The City of Brass on sale and want to read them.
The Poppy War and The City of Brass are amazing !! I read both trilogies this year and they quickly become my favorites 😍 Hope you'll enjoy them 🤗
What Robin Hobb book/series would you recommend as an introduction to her writing?
I want to get caught up on the Valdemar Chronicles and the Shadowhunter Chronicles, and finish the Trials of Apollo. And of course, always queer romances thrown in throughout my 2022 reading. Also a few nonfiction books on Japan (I am a Japan nerd).
where is your dress from its cute, you didnt add the links to them
Just finished Every Heart a Doorway. FANTASTIC book. I’m starting number two now.
I am excited to see what you think of the Night Circus. It was one of my favorite books I read last year. I think if you love the STarless Sea, you will enjoy the Night Circus.
Nice video! Here's one for you! Just finished this book. Cross Kingdom, The Shiva-Gate Conspiracy, written by Reece McKnight. It is action packed and a true page turner. Highly detailed you will be hooked. The book can be found on Amazon and Lulu.
A gentleman in Moscow is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL book!!!
I am sooo surprised you haven't read The Night Circus! I did it enjoy it. I'm glad I read it. But, I can't say it was an absolute favorite, unfortunately. I think it had so much potential and there were parts I loved, but it just didn't come together. But, I certainly hope you love it!
I need to finish up the liveship trader trilogy in 2022.
A Gentleman in Moscow is also on my list for 2022! Hoping to read more nonfiction & memoirs this year as well.
Where do you get your Robin Hobb books with those covers?
Yessss Malice is soo good! I love the Faithfull and Fallen series, its one of my favourite epic fantasies
Yeah wheel of time good series to see on OTT, liked it too.
Excited for you to start reading the Wayward Children series!
I honestly prefer Circe over SOA, I guess I just love complicated women lmao
These are great! I just finished Wildflower, a Tale of Transcendence. And, wow! So good! I finished it in two days.
I very much relate to nothing but the tbr planned for next year, lol!
I love A Tale For The Time Being. I hope you enjoy it as well!!
Yessss I loved Circe!
