I wonder if Strange the Dreamer was the turning point for our favorite books to become polar opposite 💀💀
😂😂
i was literally wondering that the other day👀 because i feel like it definitely was!!
Believe me when I say you will never reach a finite list, as I have been reading for over 50 years! Keep reading there is always another great book waiting to be discovered.
ah that's just such an exciting prospect!
Otherwise it would be really sad
My favorite book of all time is definitely The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, from The Hunger Games series. In close second is the novella from The Assassins Blade called The Assassin and the Desert.
I feel like The Starless Sea is a love letter to storytelling ❤
Yess 😭💗
The Starless Sea is so beautiful, such a great book ❤
yes!! it's just so beautiful!!
My favourite books are Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo and Heartless by Marissa Meyer. They both made me cry my heart out and I love them dearly.
ugh both are such good books!! i'm so happy to hear you love them so much!!
@@katieisreading do you have a video for when you read heartless?
WAY OF KINGS CHANGED MY LIFEEEE
absolutely see why!!! it's so good!!!
just added so many books to my TBR. I also love whimsical & lyrical writing. Thank you!
yay!! i hope you love them!!
The weekly video I look forward to every Monday. Thank you Katie!
Stormlight and Emily Wilde are also on my favorites list. I haven't read Half a Soul yet but I have a feeling it could be a new fav as well ❤
I love your videos and recommendations! I started reading yona of the dawn because of your channel and I love it, It got me slightly more into manga too and half a soul is one of my favourite books!
**adds all the unread ones into cart**
I love The Infernal Devices! I’m currently doing another re-read of them. Some of my all time favorites are Frankenstein, Pride and Prejudice, Tithe, Valiant and Ironsides. I know Holly Black’s earlier books weren’t your favorites, lol, but I’m 35, and her books got me through some very tough times as a teenager. 😊
so glad to hear you also love the infernal devices!! you also have so many other great picks! the modern faerie tales series definitely isn't my favorite, but i'm glad to hear that they were there for you as a teen!!
So glad to see so many of my favorites on here too!
Is it weird that I already know all the books that she is going to recommend in the video 😂❤😊 been a long term subscriber of hers
wait i might cry😭 thank you so much for sticking with me for so long!!
@@katieisreading ❣️
Love the Katie videos! Instant watch
So many good ones here (especially Emily Wilde 😍) and so many on my TBR!! I just started Way of Kings last week and am really enjoying it so far and am also planning to start reading Half a Soul today 😊🎉
I am putting together my new bed frame so listening to your videos is my go to......love your channel
Just found your channel. Anyone like you, who excels at articulating why they like certain things, are the people I gravitate to on booktube.
Thanks Katie for such a treat🫢💞
Half a soul is also one of my favorites!! I read it back in 2022 and adored it. Anything by Hannah whitten, St Gibson, Ava reid, Brandon Sanderson and Allison Saft are my faves
ahh i'm so glad to hear you love half a soul as much as i do!!💚 i hope you also have a great week!
I loved the Ex Hex too! The sequel the Kiss Curse was good too!
This just gave me so many new books to add to my tbr! 😊
Such a great video and enjoyed reading The Infernal Devices so so much. I am 2 books away from finishing The Mortal Instrument series where my adventure of reading books again started. My favorite books of all time would have to be the first book of Harry Potter and the Sorcere's Stone (I was given this book as a present from my grandparents and just fell in love with fantasy), Shadow Falls series (it's a paranormal story but in a summer camp setting), Kiki's Delivery Service, Matilda (it made me realize as a child I was not alone with loving to read), and my favorite graphic novel series is Fruits Basket surprising enough considering it is a slow read but I just adore the characters it picks up after a few volumes. Happy reading! I just realized I don't have many standalone favorites so I will have to search for more.
i loved hearing some of the reasons these books are your favorites!! so glad you have so many that mean so much to you!!
Vicious, Crooked Kingdom and The Invisible Life of Addie Larue is my holy trinity of books. Love the characters and the writing in these books so much
so many good picks!!!
So many new reads for my tbr! My all time favorite series is by Julie Mulhern...The Country Club Murders.
The Starless City has been on my tbr for months now!
Some of mine would have to be Fablehaven & Dragonwatch, the Hatmakers series, Land of Stories, and One Piece
Some of my favs are Sorcery of Thorns, Daughter of the Pirate King series, When in Rome series
As another whimsy addict, you've totally convinced me on a few of these picks. I can't wait to try Half a Soul and Strange the Dreamer!
if you are a whimsy lover then you should absolutely love both of those!!! i really hope you do!!
Very good recs. Thank you!
i’m so glad i found your channel, i feel like we have a really similar taste in books🥰💗😊😊
I can't wait to read Half A Soul. Some of my absolute favourites are Six of Crows, Beach Read, Anxious People & The Starless Sea 🤍
i hope you absolutely love half a soul!!
My favourite books are The Scorpio Races, The Darkest Minds trilogy, I Am Number Four series, and the Maze Runner series 😁
Also adding most of these to my tbr, cuz although i am relatively new to fantasy, what i have read so far, I've loved!
I bought half a soul because you hyped it up in one of your past videos, can’t wait to get to it ❤
ah yay!! i really hope you love it🥺
I started Strange the Dreamer and put it down and I don’t even know why cuz I was loving it soooooo much lol I’m gonna read it this year for sure
i LOVE yona so much, and you're so right the romance is chefs kiss. what's happening in the manga in the latest chapters is making my heart break!! (in a good way? i guess?) also half a soul is definitely further up on my tbr now :)
i'm always so happy to find other people that love yona!!😌 also i hope you love half a soul when you end up reading it!!
I'm having trouble deciding what to read next so this came at the perfect time!
yay! i hope i was able you give you a good rec
@@katieisreading you did, thankyou❤️
The ex hex is just sooo fun to read, give it a shotttt😭
I also adore slowburn!!! I literally made a whole video on my favorite slow burns
i loved strange the dreamer x
If you like slow burn I think you'd like it a winter's promise (but you have to go knowing that fantasy is more important than romance in this series)
My favorite books are The once and future witches and Fourth Wing..im currently reading Iron flame so we will see if it adds in
I am so excited about your reaction to the infernal devices because I JUST got all of the books through my library, so I'm reading them for the first time soon! (Anyone else driven crazy by trying to line up library book holds when it's a series? I have to read series books back to back so I don't forget any details, and it can be such a pain. But I persevered!)
oh you are in for a TREAT my friend!! the infernal devices is so SO good i hope you absolutely adore your time reading it!! (also trying to read complete series from the library also drives my crazy!! i feel like it's impossible to get them back to back, so i feel your pain!)
so glad this video came up on my timeline. I have a similar reading taste. Happy to be a new subscriber 🩷
This notification came at the perfect time!!
You had me at slow burn I need to read that series
yes!!!!
Heartstopper is definitely one of my all time favorites 😍 I've read it...7 times! Now I want to read it again even though I already read it this year lol
so glad to hear you love it so much as well!!!
@@katieisreading thanks. Best lgbtq+ graphic novel series that I've read so far
I have some new books to add to my TBR. I still need to read the Starless Sea. I am not sure what my favorites are. I know Heartstopper is on the list
I LOVE THE EX HEX SO MUCH
My absolute favorite #1 reads are basically every book by Tamora Pierce. I started reading her in 2000, 2001 and I have been re-reading them every year since then. Her "Circle of Magic" series is a great exploration of found family with an interesting magic system, and the Tortall series has a ton of great female heroines, different romances, and great worldbuilding.
Other favorites include the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix, Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine, Dealing with Dragons by Patricia Wrede, Cemetary Boys by Aiden Thomas, An Old Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott, Middlegame by Seanan McGuire, The Forbidden Game trilogy by L.J. Smith, and of course Nancy Drew (the Nancy Drew Mysteries and the Nancy Drew Files, in particular). I have more, but I'd have to write an essay if I added them XD
My all-time favorite book would probably be The False Prince by Jennifer Nielsen. It doesn't have much romance, but if you're looking for a book/ book series with amazing plot twists, this is a great book for that. ❤
I JUST LOVE YOUER VIDEOS💘
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
a new favourite that i discovered this year is the locked tomb series, with gideon the ninth as the first book. it's a very character driven series so i think you should like it! i cannot wait for alecto the ninth to release sometime in 2024 (or sometime during our lifetime)
oh i have heard so many great things about that series!! it does absolutely sound amazing, i definitely need to pick it up at some point! so glad to hear you love it so much!!
I finished Strange the dreamer like 2 days ago. I am in love with the book.
yay! i'm so glad you loved it so much!! it's just so magical💙
Our tastes really align. My favourite books are: The starless sea, Emily Wilde's encyclopedia of faeries, the invisible life of Addie Larue and the once upon a broken heart series.
ah so many good books and series!! once upon a broken heart is so much fun! i totally see why it's on your list!
Just read Clockwork Angel!
The author of the Ex Hex has another book coming out in that world called the Wedding Witch! I'm saving it for Christmas, since it seems more like a holiday book 🎄 📚
ahh i know and i'm so excited!! i didn't realize it was a holiday book though, so i will also be saving it for december!🖤
love love love your love for TID
The Zodiac academy series and Boys of Tommen books are some of my favorite books of all time. I'm definitely a fantasy and romance girl.
Thank you for this video! I agree with you, I loved The Starless Sea, the Night Circus, Half a Soul and Emily Wilde's (haven't read the second book yet). Since you love Halloween I would def recommend Nettle & Bone (one of my top faves). It's a dark fairytale by T. Kingfisher, there's a possessed chicken, a goblin market, dancing teeth, and a bone dog, among other bonkers things. The writing style is atmospheric, dark, comical, heartbreaking (and warming) and whimsical:)
oh wow! nettle and bone has been on my radar for a while but your description has absolutely sold me on picking it up this fall!! so thank you for that!!
@@katieisreading hope you'll enjoy it!
Mortal instruments is my overall Favorite series of all time
My fav are : Anne of Green gables, The starless sea, The Hobbit, Madame Bovary, Caraval, Cruel prince, The house of the cerulean sea, Harry Potter of course, Jane Eyre, Alice in Wonderland …
Have you read the never ending story? It‘s also a book about a book and its amazing! Especially if you like fantasy
This was honestly such a good list. Gotta go beg my mom to buy all these book (jk she wont buy all of it).😅 Love you, katie.❤❤❤
My favorite book, of course is Lord of The rings. For me every Tolkien book is so magic and he changed my life. He bring me to this fantasy book word
I’m sending you love and all the lovely vibes❤
@@katieisreading 🫶🫶🫶
The books you recommend are my favorites too💗 there is a book that is not very popular but I like it very much. It's called Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance by Ruth Emmie Lang. If you haven't read it, you definitely should!! I think you will like it💖
Favourite books of all time is Harry Potter, lessons in chemistry,
Once upon a broken heart series and the short stories life of A.J Fikery 🤓
Vicious and Vengeful are the perfect duology, if you love morally grey characters 🖤
100% agree!!
i found strange the dreamer to be kind of boring and veryy slow but then i picked up muse of nightmares and absolutely adored it.
Hi Katie, so I've been debating this for a while but now I'm pretty sure I should tell you, because I've seen that you're in the look for books that are like the starless sea. I've read a book called "the never-ending story" by Michael Ende and it's very similar to the starless sea: about a boy that goes into a library and starts reading this book about another world and at some point the story in the book starts mixing with the events in his real life. I don't remember much more about it because I've read it a very long time ago, but I think you should definitely give it a try :D
ooh there's a movie based on the book right?? i've always heard about it but never knew exactly what it was about, but that sounds amazing!! i will definitely be adding that to my never ending "list of books i need to acquire" haha!! so thank you for the rec!
@katieisreading I think so, but I haven't seen it yet. Ofc I always recommend reading the book first :D
hdjkahdkahd i guessed all of them! and i still haven't read even one book from this listf sorrrryyy
my favs are Heaven official's blessing, Grandmaster of demonic cultivation, A court of mist and fury, Fourth wing, Heir of fire, Wolfsong, The House in the Cerulean Sea, One dark window, The final empire, Thousand autumns, Eragon, LOTR, Shatter me, Anne of Green Gables, The Winner's Curse, The Bone Season, His Dark Materials, The Foxhole Court, The Charm Offensive, Terms and Conditions, Edin (by Lily Mayne)
Where would you recommend someone to start with the Sanderson world?
Did you read the Mortal Instruments fully then Infernal Devices? I've seen some recommending the first 3 of TMI then ID so I'm not sure what is best
I'm dying to know what you think of Hester by Laurie Lico Albanese! 🪡Gave me the same feeling you felt about The Starless Sea. Some other favorites: Dracula, The Shadow of the Wind (another book I think you'd love), Dracul, Starling House, The Invisible Hour, Oathrbringer, and On Writing.
i own that book actually!! now i'm definitely going to have to check it out!! all of your favs are so interesting! i love dracula and starling house as well, but i will definitely have to check out some of the others that i haven't read yet!
@@katieisreading Yayy! I hope you love them! 📚📖
You should read ‘the beginning after the end’ novel (not comic) and lord of the mysteries there both really good
you made me start Yona..... oups
What mic do you use for your videos?
When you summarise the books, do you prep what you're gonna say beforehand or is that all freestyle? Because I suck at summarising books I've read even if theyre my favourites so I'm just wondering if it's normal to be able to perfectly summarise or if it's planned ahead
Do you have a reading order with the Cassandra Clare books?
Was that a hint for the patreon June pick I saw there? 😳😳
no clue what you're talking about ;))))
23:38 Okay okay. I LOVE the Emily Wilde books. I love her. I love Wendell. I have read both books.. and I am just so STUCK on him bringing a girl to the cottage in the first book even though he swears he’s been into Emily since they met… like why? Does that not bother anyone else? I just… i dont know. I still love them but that grinds my gears 👀
Jane Eyre is my favorite
The Ex Hex SLAPS. I will fight. I finished it in less than 12 hours xD I can't wait to read the second one.
Edit: One of my favourite series of all time is an adult vampire series by Freda Warrington, the Taste of Blood Wine. It's phenomenal and so beautifully written.
THANK YOU!! i feel like so many people online dislike the ex hex so i'm glad to find another ex hex lover!!!
Prince of Shadows by Rachel Caine
what order is best to read Brandon Sanderson and get into his books
there are a ton of ways you could get into sanderson, but i think starting with the original mistborn trilogy is a great place to start!
Heartstopper 🤍
🐝🗝️🗡️ if only Erin Morgenstern would release a 3rd book. I would be ecstatic.
i need her third book so badly!!😫
adding ex hex to tbr ✍🏼
Be prepared to finish it in a day. It's unputdownable.
@@StephTucker-hc8px should i save it for fall ?!👀🍁🎃
@@LochsLibrary 100%!!
YES!! if you are in the mood for a silly goofy time you will love it honestly!! (and i absolutely agree that you should save it for fall)
agh your book taste is IMMACULATE! my favorite book of all time ever in the history of the world is If We Were Villains (i'm THE real life james farrow :))
ahh if we were villians is SO close to being one of my favorites as well!! i think i need to reread it to cement that but it really is SO good!!
What is everybody's magic system and magic world?
Chetan Bhagat 2 states is bestt❤
have you read stardust by neil gaiman? it’s SO good and whimsy to the max
i read it a few years ago actually! it's not a favorite book, the plot wasn't super interesting to me, but it definitely does have an immaculate amount of whimsy!! and i love it for that
Have you read the Kiss Curse? second book by same author as Ex Hex
i have! i didn't like it as much as the ex hex, but it was still super fun
MISS GIRL WHERE ARE YOUR EARRINGS FROMMMMM
they're actually charms i found from the craft store put on a basic pair of small silver hoops!!
❤❤❤
Strange the Dreamer changed my life so much that I wanna get a tattoo of it. 💀💖
wait Is this a reupload?
no
like for a unique taste)
