I prefer standalones because I don't have to worry about picking it up and it being the 12th book in a 79 book series. Also, everything gets wrapped up easier and it tends to not have that dragging-on-for-an-unreasonable-amount-of-time feeling to it.
Exactly. It’s like “here you go. Boom. Story told. Enjoy” I don’t even read books that have a sequel. I just wanna get to the point lol, something straightforward. I understand sequels and triologies, but if a story can be told in just one book, then do that. Don’t stretch it out to the point where it doesn’t look like there will be a resolution - like, write a soap opera tv show instead! Lol
The books listed below: 1. The Book Thief 2. The Fault in Our Stars 3. A List of Cages 4. The Unexpected Everything 5. The Sun is Also A Star 6. Fangirl 7. Salt to the Sea 8. The Hate U Give 9. The Upside of the Unrequited 10. History is All You Left Me 11. The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender 12. Heartless
I feel like i'm the only person who don't like the story to have a deeper meaning? Like I don't want to read John Green, because I know I wont end up feeling happy when I finish it and I don't want to feel sad when reading. I probably sound childish, but I really don't like reading books about serious stuff, cuz i get that enough in life, so when I read I just want to be happy and bubbly? Am I a bad person for this? I feel like everyone looks down on me for not reading those kind of books..
Kira Jeppesen nah fam, I gets you. Personally I love reading books with deeper meanings (since I'm still a teen) and I can pull much more from it then just the main story. Sorry I have no recommendations, but I thought that I would just tell ya that I think your awesome and what you read is awesome too. No hate here. Just keep reading 😊
You read whatever makes you happy! There's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to read something that doesn't have a deeper meaning to it, as long as you enjoy what you're reading 💜
I want to read so many of them books but haven't gotten a chance to pick them up yet. I tried to read John Green but never really got into his books. I think I might retry them because you think so highly of them and it was a while back when I attempted to read his books. I also love your videos and I wouldn't mind if there were reoccurring books on the Top 15 YA books video. Thank you for getting me back into reading!! Love you so much xx
Long Change I can feel the pain I'm writing on my iphone. I hear what your saying. I love that so many people have different opinions about books. I read john green ages ago. I didn't realise that he was a big author. My reading style has changed a lot since then so I am very open to suggestions (If you have any I would love to hear them!) and I don't have any friends who are into books so book tube is what I turn to. Especially hailey who in my opinion is the best booktuber.
Lizzi Hunter I personally don't like John green like I read paper towns and the fault in our stars, I found them really boring and the writing style is just not for me ... the plot was really predictable and ridiculous...
Lizzi Hunter then I really advise you to not read John green's books... they sucks so bad 😫 especially the fault in our stars... I feel like I was being lectured about cancer and about to get a degree for it ... and I fuvking fall asleep when I was reading that book. But I hate sad tragic romance in general, idk i just think they are all really predictable and love at first sight ...
I love that Hailey is from Canada and realizes how real the racism is in the United States even tho she doesn't live here. It's so true bc everyone in America tries to act like racism is over. But it's not
Najjah The United States is literally one of the least racist countries in the world. Racism exists wherever you go, but it’s not as rampant as people would have you believe.
I choose not to because I have done a survey before and the result was the majority of people wouldn't watch the video if I put them in the description so I choose not to do so. Sorry!
Hailey in Bookland you're absolutely right. I feel sad when booktubers even show the pictures of the books before the video starts because it's like you already know what they will say and I want to be surprised. Thank you for always surprising us! ♡
I can understand and even appreciate your reasoning. However I am not familiar with any of the books or authors you mentioned and I personally need more than a shaking, half covered title/author. I loved your list, I loved the way you talked about the books but the way you did this video made trying to make a list for tracking them down later make the video take 3 times as long as it actually was. In future videos could you please try give me 1 moment per book where I can pause to clearly see the title and author?
Fangirl, The Unexpected Everything and The Upside of Unrequited are definitely my favorites from this list and some of my favorite books ever!!! I completely agree about TUOU It was suuuuuch a relatable read, It was literally like I was reading about my life!
Aw, I was hoping for much more fantasy since I'm not a contemporary reader but I understand how you're more into contemporary so that's obviously going to be more on your list. There are actually a lot of hidden gems when it comes to fantasy stand alones. ;)
Holly Hearts Art hey! I'm really interested in fantasy standalones, do you have any particular recommendations? I always struggle to find those, so if you have any in mind... :)
Kaisu I recommend the Graceling companion novels by Kristin Cashore. There are three of them (so I guess technically it is a trilogy, argh) but they can be read as a stand-alone just fine. You should also try Heartless by Marissa Meyer.
Kaisu Fantasy standalones are generally really difficult to find just because of the world-building that goes into it. Ember in the Ashes is really good though, and can be read as a stand alone (I didn't like the sequel very much)
Holly Hearts Art For a fantasy standalone, I would recommend The Night Circus! It's one of my favorite books! 😊 I would also recommend Unhooked by Lisa Maxwell! It's a Peter Pan retelling that's a little bit dark. 👍
I got mad flashbacks to sitting alone reading and crying my eyes out when you mentioned History Is All You Left Me and Heartless. Gah. They’re both beautiful books.
I had a hard time getting through Heartless so I gave up reading it. I hate not finishing books I started so I listened to the audio book and I would recommend buying the audio book. It's so well done. Even if you own a hard copy, get the audio book.
right off the bat, you've talked about two of my favourite, FAVOURITE books! i can't see what else you've got to share. i will be listening very intently and, hopefully, i'll find some brilliant TBRs!
Hailey i started watching your videos for quite a while now and I just wanted to tell you that the way you talk about books is so amazingly magical and I became a reader because of you so Thank you ❤️❤️.
The sun is Also a star. I have read that book. And I feel as if I related so much to Natasha. This book is just such a creative, wonderful booo and the ending is absolutely amazing. I feel as if it ends on a cliffhanger but not a cliffhanger. For anyone trying to decide what to read, THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR
That moment when Hailey looks like a Greek goddess 😭 I want to read A List of Cages so bad! I honestly feel like my TBR just grew even more from this video hahah
So, “The hate you give” brings light to rasicim, police brutality and the Black lives matter movement going on in America, I literally had to recheck when this video was uploaded, and realized 2 years later, this is STILL going on. I’ve been binging your videos on quarantine to see what books to order, loved them!
I think you should just pick your current top 15 favorites, even if some would be repeated from the previous video, otherwise they wouldn't be your top 15 they'd be your top 30. I'll watch it either way since you're my favorite booktuber. 😊
the upside is so relatable - got it in my first owlcrate and kind of was like nope no not for me and then it was like omg this molly is like me so much.
The Fault in Our Stars is one of my all-time favorite books. I end up rereading it almost once or twice a year, I love it so much! I'm interested in reading The Unexpected Everything because I just finished reading another Morgan Matson's books! I've heard so much about The Hate U Give and it's already in my shopping cart waiting on my next paycheck 😉
Sure, contemporary standalones are fairly easy to find, which isn't the case for FANTASY standalones. Those are much more scarce, sadly. Could you make a recommended reads, fantasy standalones edition? I really struggle finding those and am always on the look out for more to add on my tbr!
If you redo your favourite YA books I'd like to see some repetition because we can see what got bumped off the list and what replaced them 👍🏻 it's nice to know which ones are still your favourites from back then.
I think I would prefer thelist to be an updated version of the privious one (with books beign repeated etc.) :) But the decision is of course up on you :)
Okay I haven't even watched the video yet but thank you so much for this video! I've wanted to pick up some new books and I was dying for some stand alone recommendations so this comes at a great time.
I bought this gorgeous edition of The Book Thief yestersay, so excited to read it! Also on a side note, I really hate Looking for Alaska with passion 😂😂
I love your hair! ❤️️ Great recommendations! Yes a Top 15 YA books updated would be awesome. It could be interesting with completely different titles with the link of your previous video 👊🏼
definitely "Finding Audrey" by Sophie Kinsella is one of the greatest YA stand alone books I've ever had the chance to read, I really recommend it to all of you. I literally read it in one afternoon and laughed and cried so much. It deals with anxiety and love in such a romantic, deep and comical way, I know some of you will love it as much as I did.
i LOVE between shades of grey! i was forced to read it in 7th grade for english class but i loved it. i loved it so much that i actually read it again a year later in 8th grade!
I LOVE your book recommendation videos!!! They have gotten me out of so many reading slumps :) I just started Unexpected Everything and I'm loving it! I would love to have a video of completely new favorite reads!
Hailey we know why r u not putting books names on description box thats fine😘 but plzzz write name on ur video when show us the book because some times we can't get your word or can't see name on tha book cover soooooo plz put name on ur video not on description..
I want more fantasy standalones! And sci fi and dystopian! I feel like so many are contemporary and I understand the whole world building aspect but worth series I always forget things...
1.the book thief 2.the fault in our stars 3.A list of cages 4.The unexpected everything 5.The sun is also a star 6.Fangirl 7.looking for Alaska 7.Ruta sepetys 7.Between shades of grey 8.The hate u give 9.The upside of unrequited 10.The history is all you left me 11.The strange and beautiful stories of ava lavender 12.Heartless
I’m actually reading The Book Thief now and waiting for the movie to come in the mail So far I’m loving the book so far especially listening to an audiobook with it 📖🙂🎧
Do you think you could make a video about the books you had to read/enjoyed reading as an English major throughout college? It's my freshman year and I would love to be able to read some in advance haha. If anyone else sees this and wants to comment some, that would be helpful, too!
I vote doing a remake WITH the old ones you still love because I hate when booktubers do a whole new list and you're unsure if they still like the old books so please please please a master list
My favourits: Bone gap, The beast is an animal, Simon vs. homo sapiens agenda, My heart and other black holes and Fault in our stars (I am pretty sure there are more but it's almost midnight so I can't really think of anything else :D) And about your question I would actually like to see a new list but it would not bother me to hear about book I know.
I love The Fault In Our Stars!! I read it last month for the first time and it's now one of my all-time favorite books!!! And I love Heartless so freaking much when Jest died I started sobbing it was so heartbreaking
Loved this video, I always love hearing people's recommendations. As for your question, i'd personally prefer a top YA books/series of ones you havent mentioned in the previous video. I feel like I have a higher chance of running into a book I havent heard about :)
As soon as you said "A List of Cages" I subscribed. Best book ever! And I read 'Turtles All the Way Down' and it was so good and I honestly LIVE for that book!
Everyone and I mean EVERYONE should read whisper to me by nick lake. It is an amazingly shocking story. Cass is a girl who starts hearing a voice inside her head telling her to do bad things to herself and others. This starts when she finds a foot washed up on the beach of her washed up east coast town. After spending some time in a institution she meets the boy who moved in next door. But of course she can't tell him why she acts so weird all the time. She also befriends another girl through her therapy who introduces her to a doctor who opens up some of cass' old wounds; including how and why her mother died. It is a stand alone and left me absolutely speechless at may points through out the book. Enjoy!!!
I read "Fangirl" and I liked it a lot. I would not say, that it is the best book I've ever read, but definetely one of my favorites in english languange! ;)
You're awesome Hailey If you're after more Alice retellings, Gregory Maguire (who wrote Wicked) did one called After Alice. According the Author's note in my copy of Heartless, Marissa Meyer was inspired to write it because he hadn't done one about the queen of Hearts. Maguire's writing isn't for everyone, and there was stuff that went right over my head, but it's Alice and I thought you might like to know. Stay awesome.

AH. I love standalones. More than series?? I think?? I just love having the story wrapped up in one little place idk.
ALSO AHH, I ALREADY PRE ORDERED TATWD AND I LITERALLY CANT WAIT2&01
i understand completly i just cant read series at all. I havent read a series for 2 years 😂
Sashka sameee..and also I suck at getting caught up w series
J Watch yeah, I'm reading the star bound trilogy rn, and the only reason I'm getting through it is cause they're companion novels.
Sashka UGH ME TOO. I think one of my favorites is Ready Player One. So so so good
I prefer standalones because I don't have to worry about picking it up and it being the 12th book in a 79 book series. Also, everything gets wrapped up easier and it tends to not have that dragging-on-for-an-unreasonable-amount-of-time feeling to it.
Abigail Faith Lol we're you a Warriors fan

sophiereadstoomuch lol I hope so
Nope lol
Oog hii
Oof, lol

Your bookshelf is a goal of mine.
Samee
Ikr
I like Standalones because I am rubbish at finishing series so sometimes it's nice to know one book is the complete story!
The Fault in our Stars made me cry...
Love your shirt! I still haven't read the Book Thief oh man I need to fix that.
Memef girma
Have you read it now? I still haven’t 😅 too many books, so little time!
@@KoalasBookCorner I read the book thief when I was in sixth grade and it was so good!
Kaya Barringer me too!
Danielle Evans you should just forget everything and read it because it’s so great
I read The Book Thief because you were raving about it and it's become my all-time favorite. Thank you for introducing me to the booklove of my life😍
I feel like i'm the only person who don't like the story to have a deeper meaning? Like I don't want to read John Green, because I know I wont end up feeling happy when I finish it and I don't want to feel sad when reading.

You read whatever makes you happy! There's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to read something that doesn't have a deeper meaning to it, as long as you enjoy what you're reading 💜
Kira Jeppesen I mostly read fantasy but when I read contemporary I want fluff and happiness
Emma L. Glad I'm not the only one. I mostly read fantasy too, so when I do read contemporary I want fluff and happiness... :)
"A List of Cages" was amazing and beautiful. I cried, laughed, and smiled. Adam is the best big brother ever.
I want to read so many of them books but haven't gotten a chance to pick them up yet. I tried to read John Green but never really got into his books.

Racism is EVERYWHERE but in the US, canada, Europe, racism isnt as bad as say the middle east
Exactly. Preach!
I"M OBSESSED WITH YOUR SHIRT WHERE DID YOU GET IT?!
Just purchased Heartless and i cant wait to read it. It is such a beautiful book, the hardcover is just absolutely gorgeous 😍
Can you put the books you mention in the description?
Cutie Pie I think she doesn't do that because then people wouldn't watch the video...
I choose not to because I have done a survey before and the result was the majority of people wouldn't watch the video if I put them in the description so I choose not to do so. Sorry!
Hailey in Bookland Oh okay, thanks for telling me that.
Hailey in Bookland you're absolutely right. I feel sad when booktubers even show the pictures of the books before the video starts because it's like you already know what they will say and I want to be surprised. Thank you for always surprising us! ♡
I can understand and even appreciate your reasoning. However I am not familiar with any of the books or authors you mentioned and I personally need more than a shaking, half covered title/author. I loved your list, I loved the way you talked about the books but the way you did this video made trying to make a list for tracking them down later make the video take 3 times as long as it actually was. In future videos could you please try give me 1 moment per book where I can pause to clearly see the title and author?
I love how passionate you sound when talking about these books.
Carry On by Rainbow Rowell is probably one of my top YA stand alones! I really enjoyed that read!
Megan Bryant Isn't Carry On a companion novel to Fangirl?
Mariah Santos I suppose one could count it as a companion, but personally I don't haha
Mariah Santos it is but it really isn't. It's just the story Cath was writing. That's the only tie to Fangirl in Carry On.
I'm literally in love with that book.
Carry on is getting a sequel called wayward son so yeah that’s great
I love the energy in your comment section, sometimes people don’t appreciate, or share what the video was about, but your comment
section does 💞💞
I'll give you the sun is one of my favorites!!
Ari Giselle YES ONE OF THE BEST
YES SAME
Fangirl, The Unexpected Everything and The Upside of Unrequited are definitely my favorites from this list and some of my favorite books ever!!! I completely agree about TUOU It was suuuuuch a relatable read, It was literally like I was reading about my life!
Between the shades of grey is such a good book!! Im so glad you mentioned it and also read it.
Could you do a list of ya fantasy standalones?
Aw, I was hoping for much more fantasy since I'm not a contemporary reader but I understand how you're more into contemporary so that's obviously going to be more on your list. There are actually a lot of hidden gems when it comes to fantasy stand alones. ;)
Holly Hearts Art hey! I'm really interested in fantasy standalones, do you have any particular recommendations? I always struggle to find those, so if you have any in mind... :)

Holly Hearts Art For a fantasy standalone, I would recommend The Night Circus! It's one of my favorite books! 😊 I would also recommend Unhooked by Lisa Maxwell! It's a Peter Pan retelling that's a little bit dark. 👍
Juliet there was a book i liked that was a fantasy stand-alone it’s called Nightbird but it is a bit of more of a middle school level
You are fantastic! I need to show my middle school students your videos. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you!
I think you should do a new list and maybe include just a few of the old ones if you want to but basically I would appreciate a refreshed list. :)
Hey Hailey! Just passing to say that your channel is one of my faves! Hugs from Brazil ♥️
I kind of wish you talked about about books we haven't heard from you! All the books you've talked about you've already raved about before
I tried to read The Bookthief three years ago but it didn't catch my intrest. Now I finally put it on my TBR again
Faisal n.a hii 7056931781frand
Your shirt is to die for omg o.O
Love love love Fangirl!
THUG is absolutely amazing
HEARTLESS YES YES YES
Agree. The book thief is AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️
"...and I don't care if you don't like it as long as you've read it." I love this! 😍
Ruta Sepetys is one of my favorite authors as well! She is so inspiring and I absolutely love love love her!
I think it would be refreshing to have a new list tbh
Repeated books would be fine, it's always interesting to see which books stay favorites over time.
I got mad flashbacks to sitting alone reading and crying my eyes out when you mentioned History Is All You Left Me and Heartless. Gah. They’re both beautiful books.
I had a hard time getting through Heartless so I gave up reading it. I hate not finishing books I started so I listened to the audio book and I would recommend buying the audio book. It's so well done. Even if you own a hard copy, get the audio book.
*Everything, Everything* is an amazing book. I had read it last month & it was like a whole journey.
Loved it..
You should read it guys 💖💖
I bought "The Book Thief" because of you. I still have yet to read it, but I'm excited about it.
The Book Thief made me sob like a complete baby, and I regret nothing. Amazing book.
Ugh, so many of these are on my TBRrrrrrrr.
right off the bat, you've talked about two of my favourite, FAVOURITE books! i can't see what else you've got to share. i will be listening very intently and, hopefully, i'll find some brilliant TBRs!
Hailey i started watching your videos for quite a while now and I just wanted to tell you that the way you talk about books is so amazingly magical and I became a reader because of you so Thank you ❤️❤️.
The Book Thief and The Lord of the Rings are both my favorite books of all time!! I wish I could reread The Book Thief for the 1st time again!
Book Thief, Salt to the sea & The Strange and Beautiful sorrows of Ava lavender is all a must read. Those 3 easily become my all time fave books 😍
The sun is Also a star. I have read that book. And I feel as if I related so much to Natasha. This book is just such a creative, wonderful booo and the ending is absolutely amazing. I feel as if it ends on a cliffhanger but not a cliffhanger. For anyone trying to decide what to read, THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR
I know this is late but could you do a fantasy stand alone video? Thanks ❤
That moment when Hailey looks like a Greek goddess 😭 I want to read A List of Cages so bad! I honestly feel like my TBR just grew even more from this video hahah
Upside of Requited is so good! Definitely one of my faves too. I like the idea of a completely new list for the best YA books video
So, “The hate you give” brings light to rasicim, police brutality and the Black lives matter movement going on in America, I literally had to recheck when this video was uploaded, and realized 2 years later, this is STILL going on.
I’ve been binging your videos on quarantine to see what books to order, loved them!
I think you should do an all new list for that video! It's good to get some different recommendations.
I've always been on the edge about whether or not I should read The Sun Is Also A Star but after your description of it I will probably pick it up ⭐️
I think you should just pick your current top 15 favorites, even if some would be repeated from the previous video, otherwise they wouldn't be your top 15 they'd be your top 30. I'll watch it either way since you're my favorite booktuber. 😊
I can't stop staring at the fallen Pop😂😂😂
I didn’t notice it and after your comment my life has been spoiled
Hi Hailey 😊 Just want to say that you're the first booktube channel that I watch and you make me want to read again.. Thank you!
the upside is so relatable - got it in my first owlcrate and kind of was like nope no not for me and then it was like omg this molly is like me so much.
The Fault in Our Stars is one of my all-time favorite books. I end up rereading it almost once or twice a year, I love it so much! I'm interested in reading The Unexpected Everything because I just finished reading another Morgan Matson's books! I've heard so much about The Hate U Give and it's already in my shopping cart waiting on my next paycheck 😉
Yes the book thief is my favorite book. I had to read it summer before starting HS and I loved it.
the strange and beautiful sorrows is SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BOOK
One of my favourite things to do is watch you recommend books and to add more books to my never ending tbr.
Ah!!! I'm in love with your top!
Sure, contemporary standalones are fairly easy to find, which isn't the case for FANTASY standalones. Those are much more scarce, sadly. Could you make a recommended reads, fantasy standalones edition? I really struggle finding those and am always on the look out for more to add on my tbr!
If you redo your favourite YA books I'd like to see some repetition because we can see what got bumped off the list and what replaced them 👍🏻 it's nice to know which ones are still your favourites from back then.
New! Completely new list because, we can always look at the old list and see what, it was before
Hailey you look so pretty in this video!!! I am excited for Green's new book aswell I can't wait!
I think I would prefer thelist to be an updated version of the privious one (with books beign repeated etc.) :) But the decision is of course up on you :)
Okay I haven't even watched the video yet but thank you so much for this video! I've wanted to pick up some new books and I was dying for some stand alone recommendations so this comes at a great time.
I bought this gorgeous edition of The Book Thief yestersay, so excited to read it! Also on a side note, I really hate Looking for Alaska with passion 😂😂
I love your hair! ❤️️ Great recommendations! Yes a Top 15 YA books updated would be awesome. It could be interesting with completely different titles with the link of your previous video 👊🏼
definitely "Finding Audrey" by Sophie Kinsella is one of the greatest YA stand alone books I've ever had the chance to read, I really recommend it to all of you. I literally read it in one afternoon and laughed and cried so much. It deals with anxiety and love in such a romantic, deep and comical way, I know some of you will love it as much as I did.
I think a new master list is awesome then we can see which ones stood the test of time/ new books coming out to take their place !
The Book Thief is one my favourite book of all time. It got me into reading and into my interest in history.
I have been waiting for this video because I get bored with series.
Fangirl also takes place in my hometown in NEBRASKA! which makes it a million times better!
i LOVE between shades of grey! i was forced to read it in 7th grade for english class but i loved it. i loved it so much that i actually read it again a year later in 8th grade!
I LOVE your book recommendation videos!!! They have gotten me out of so many reading slumps :) I just started Unexpected Everything and I'm loving it! I would love to have a video of completely new favorite reads!
I enjoyed the video but I hope I'm not the only one who looked at the fallen funko pop most of the time ;)
Hailey we know why r u not putting books names on description box thats fine😘 but plzzz write name on ur video when show us the book because some times we can't get your word or can't see name on tha book cover soooooo plz put name on ur video not on description..
I want more fantasy standalones! And sci fi and dystopian! I feel like so many are contemporary and I understand the whole world building aspect but worth series I always forget things...

I like the new master list idea! I want to know which books are still relevant to you from the old list as well as new ones!
I’m actually reading The Book Thief now and waiting for the movie to come in the mail So far I’m loving the book so far especially listening to an audiobook with it 📖🙂🎧
THE BOOK THIEF IS LIKE MY FAVORITE BOOK IT'S JUST SOOOO AMAZING
Between shades of grey is one of my all time favorites, such a beautiful heartbreaking story, same with salt to the sea
Do you think you could make a video about the books you had to read/enjoyed reading as an English major throughout college? It's my freshman year and I would love to be able to read some in advance haha. If anyone else sees this and wants to comment some, that would be helpful, too!
I vote doing a remake WITH the old ones you still love because I hate when booktubers do a whole new list and you're unsure if they still like the old books so please please please a master list
omg this rooms is so freaking awesome! can u do a room tour?
My favourits: Bone gap, The beast is an animal, Simon vs. homo sapiens agenda, My heart and other black holes and Fault in our stars (I am pretty sure there are more but it's almost midnight so I can't really think of anything else :D)
And about your question I would actually like to see a new list but it would not bother me to hear about book I know.
I would love to see a new master list unless there are some that you just have to include! Or you could just link the other video in the description.
I love The Fault In Our Stars!! I read it last month for the first time and it's now one of my all-time favorite books!!! And I love Heartless so freaking much when Jest died I started sobbing it was so heartbreaking
Loved this video, I always love hearing people's recommendations. As for your question, i'd personally prefer a top YA books/series of ones you havent mentioned in the previous video. I feel like I have a higher chance of running into a book I havent heard about :)
As soon as you said "A List of Cages" I subscribed. Best book ever! And I read 'Turtles All the Way Down' and it was so good and I honestly LIVE for that book!
We have similar favorites. I love Adam's book, Becky's book. I still need to read The Hate You Give.
I love John Green. You should read Andrew Smith. He has some really good books.
Jeehh! I love series a LOT! But sometimes I am really just fine with a story to be wrapt up in one book.
But I would have liked to see new books
I know this is an old video but I love your shirt!! 😍😍
I agree with you when you said that Nicola Yoon is a great writer and she is one of my favourite authors
Everyone and I mean EVERYONE should read whisper to me by nick lake. It is an amazingly shocking story. Cass is a girl who starts hearing a voice inside her head telling her to do bad things to herself and others. This starts when she finds a foot washed up on the beach of her washed up east coast town. After spending some time in a institution she meets the boy who moved in next door. But of course she can't tell him why she acts so weird all the time. She also befriends another girl through her therapy who introduces her to a doctor who opens up some of cass' old wounds; including how and why her mother died. It is a stand alone and left me absolutely speechless at may points through out the book. Enjoy!!!
I read "Fangirl" and I liked it a lot. I would not say, that it is the best book I've ever read, but definetely one of my favorites in english languange! ;)
You're awesome Hailey
If you're after more Alice retellings, Gregory Maguire (who wrote Wicked) did one called After Alice. According the Author's note in my copy of Heartless, Marissa Meyer was inspired to write it because he hadn't done one about the queen of Hearts.
Maguire's writing isn't for everyone, and there was stuff that went right over my head, but it's Alice and I thought you might like to know.
Stay awesome.
