I haven’t read that one yet but agree that Claire North is an AMAZING writer. I read Touch and The First 15 Lives of Harry August and couldn’t stop telling people about them. I still think about them. So good, I will definitely read all her books.
ReadsWithARavenclaw I need to read that series since I have it. Contemporary books are good though. In high school I had to read Looking for Alibrandi- very good.
And I Darken by Kiersten White, The Queen of Blood by Sarah Beth Durst, and The Ghosts of Heaven by Marcus Sedgwick are perfect winter reads that I highly recommend! Happy holidays, Regan :)
The Thief sounds so amazing!! The way you describe books makes me want to read them asap. Actually a lot of the books I've read are what you have suggested. Thanks for the video!
For Winter, definitely The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden, The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter, The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and Oliver Twist by Dickens!
you NEED to read Warbreaker by brandon sanderson if you havent already read it. Its sooo "flippin" good, like I literally think about it all the time, even when I am talking to people. the characters and their development is so good and the end just mades me have fireworks inside uuurgh, please read it. great video btw
I thought for sure Burial Rites would be on this list. Most of your recs are sitting on my shelves just waiting to be enjoyed. I need to make that happen ASAP.
I'm currently rereading the Count of Monte Cristo for the hundredth time. I love to read it (and any Dumas books) during winter because it is so unbelievably rich and atmospheric. It is perfect to get lost in during a snow storm. Just give me some cocoa and I'm good to go.
Finnikin of the Rock series is AMAZING. One of my favorite series, but my all time favorite that I read all the time is The Thief series. I can't stop and I always recommend it to everyone. I am SO excited to read the newest book! I've been waiting forever!
I have been devouring the Kingfountain series by Jeff Wheeler because I was craving some good old fashioned fantasy and this has been so good! I'm thinking the Thief series sound like something I want to read as well. Totally in the mood for high fantasy and court politics right now
I am SO thrilled that I happened to click on this video! I heard the synopsis for The Sudden Appearance of Hope months ago and have been searching for it since. Awesome vid, thanks for sharing :)
Everyone should read Devils Within by S.F. Henson for a winter book! I read it during the fall but think it's great for any cold, darker months! Such a page turner and almost has some historical fiction aspects!
I'm so happy you liked Carlos Ruiz Zafón's book!! Today, is very difficult for Spanish authors to get their books published in countries like EEUU, and as a Spaniard, I'm so glad you liked his book. He's one of our best authors! (Also, your way of pronouncing his name was super cute
Mari D I would love to! Okay, I will recommend my favourites, but if you search in the Internet, you'll find more for sure! If you are looking for fantasy, adventure or even middle grade, you maybe like Laura Gallego's books. She has written a lot of books, including YA, so just ask if you are looking for any genre (I recommend you “Dos velas para el diablo" and “Donde los árboles cantan"). If you like contemporary, you'll love Javier Ruescas! He writtes very cute books but he also writtes about important topics like bullying and acceptance (he has written the Beauty and the Beast retelling “Por una rosa" with Laura Gallego and other author, so maybe you are interested. It's not exactly a retelling. Each of them writtes a story inspired in the original one in the past, present and future.) If you like thrillers and more adult-oriented book, please read Torcuato Luca de Tena's books. My very favourite is “Los renglones torcidos de Dios"( which is not religion-themed at all). It tells the story of a female detective who tries to find a murderer in a psychiatric hospital by pretending to have a mental illness, but, what if it is not just pretending?. It is just incredibly written and you really can't wonder what will happen! That's all, but, again, if you are looking for an especific genre, you can ask. Also,again, sorry if there is is any misspelled word!
It really makes me very happy seeing people who are not from Spain reading Spanish authors! I would also love to writte a book in the future, and I wish actual writters had a bigger possibility of getting their books published in countries where English is the official language...
Perfect for the winter season ? The book i'm reading right now : The bear and the nightingale, it's a fantasy book set in past Russia and it's filled with russian myths and tales, snow, family relationships,... Haven't finished it yet but very good so far
Every time I watch your videos I remember how you had back surgery a long ass time ago and I just keep thinking "Oh I hope her back doesn't hurt anymore!" Because you move your arms around a lot. Hah hah.
i loved the book so much i created my own essay topic for it to write and had to cut so much out cuz i went waaay over the word limit lol. it was the first time i actually like a book that i was assigned to read. im planning on reading her other novel too cuz i liked this book so much. it changed how i view the world tbh, some simple things i took and still take for granted are missing in their world so it definitely taught me to value more things in life
the shadow of the wind is my favorite book (all-time!) and it's so weird hearing people talk about it bc intellectually i know it's famous but i've never met anyone who's actually read it
Have you read the other books in the Cemetery of Forgotten Books series? I just finished Shadow of the Wind and was wondering if I should continue the series!
I JUST FINISHED MY FINALS AND I NEED TO READ ALL THE BOOKS AND PLAY ALL THE VIDEO GAMES
VintageWonderland AND WATCH ALL THE SHOWS
Adelina AND SLEEP ALL THE SLEEP
LITERALLY MOOD!!!
YES YOU DO THAT YOU MAGICAL UNICORN.
THIS COMMENT SECTION IS SO CUTE
The Sudden Appearance of Hope sounds so interesting!
Jay G it sounds a bit like The silence from Doctor who
I haven’t read that one yet but agree that Claire North is an AMAZING writer. I read Touch and The First 15 Lives of Harry August and couldn’t stop telling people about them. I still think about them. So good, I will definitely read all her books.

I need to check out Station Eleven! I read Finnikin of the Rock recently (after one of your recommendations) and I LOVED IT SO MUCH 💗
Shadow of the Wind sounds very intriguing.
I read the shadow of the wind in spanish and the writing , the old spanish words was beautiful.
The sudden appearance of hope sounds interesting and I think I'm going to read the shadow book!
Finnikin of the Rock now added to my TBR! thanks!
I love Finnikin of the Rock! Melina Marchetta is one of my favourite authors - would totally recommend her contemporaries too!
ReadsWithARavenclaw I need to read that series since I have it. Contemporary books are good though. In high school I had to read Looking for Alibrandi- very good.

Impressive. It's been on my TBR and I haven't even read it once. The length is daunting 🙄
Danielle Dinh It is very long and detailed but it is so good. There is so much history and metaphor in it. It's delightful.
YESSSSSSSSSS THE THIEF SERIES IS SO GOOOOOD im so glad you love it too!!!!
I've never seen or heard about finnikan of the rock but that looks SO interesting!

"just flipping read it" omg I love your videos, yes ma'am! Definitely getting the Thief series :)
Wow the sudden appearance of hope sounds really interesting. What an intriguing concept
It’s soooooo good!
I LOVED Station Eleven! It’s SO good!!!
Hope sounds like the Silence!
You have to read Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys! A lot of the reasons you have for loving Between Shades of Gray are reasons I loved SttS!!
Emily Goforth I think she has already read that book
ISHA SHAH she hasn’t! She mentioned it in her recent “books I own but haven’t read” video. It was one of my faves of last year!
I'm so happy you liked Carlos Ruiz Zafón's book!! Today, is very difficult for Spanish authors to get their books published in countries like EEUU, and as a Spaniard, I'm so glad you liked his book. He's one of our best authors! (Also, your way of pronouncing his name was super cute
Solu2791 can you recommend other Spanish authors? I read in Spanish & I’m constantly looking for new Authors.

I definetely plan on picking up The Thief !! 😊
I really want to read The Shadow of the Wind, it sounds amazing!! I read a CRZ book when I was much younger and it creeped me out haha
Between Shades of Gray has been on my tbr for way too long! Hopefully I can get to it soon
Every time I watch your videos I remember how you had back surgery a long ass time ago and I just keep thinking "Oh I hope her back doesn't hurt anymore!" Because you move your arms around a lot. Hah hah.
Ok you've convinced me. I'm getting the thief
I love that you recommended a Spanish book! ❤
I think I'm gonna pick up station eleven soon, everybody has been really raving about it and it does intrigue me a lot! Great video
I have to read Station Eleven for one off my uni classes next semester, so perfect timing!
i loved the book so much i created my own essay topic for it to write and had to cut so much out cuz i went waaay over the word limit lol. it was the first time i actually like a book that i was assigned to read. im planning on reading her other novel too cuz i liked this book so much. it changed how i view the world tbh, some simple things i took and still take for granted are missing in their world so it definitely taught me to value more things in life
You’ve TOTALLY sold me on the thief. I think I’m gonna pick it up next!
Love these! And it's a book related study group!! So awesome!!

HEY, REGAN! 🙋🏻♀️❤️
I bought Shadow of the Wind as a gift for my host brother! I wanted to buy it too but it's in Spanish and I'd rather read it in English
I had never heard of Station Eleven until I started following you, but now it's, like, at the top of my list because you've sold me on it!! :)
OMG SHADOW OF THE WIND IS A++++
I really want to read the Thief series so bad cause it sounds so cool! IT WILL HAPPEN EVENTUALLY I PROMISE!!!!!!!!
I love ur fashion style😩😩so cute lol in my recent BookTube video I was wearing adult sized footie pajamas😂
They all went on my wishlist thanks!
I💙Reagan
The lumatere trilogy is my absolute favourite
Great reading guide!
What about Burial Rites? It so perfectly captures the feeling of winter ❄️:-)
Ahhhh I ❤️ Melina Marchetta!!! Her books need more love in the booktube community
Also I’m about to Star The King of Attolia
There are 5 books in The Queen's Thief series. :)
I was wondering lol. She said 4 book series where the 5th just came out.
I'm adding them aallll to my TBR 😄
You're personality is so cute I love :)
I have like way over 300 books in my reading list now (yes, i am that lazy) and now I have more to add to it 😂😂😂😂
Please read Marina by Carlos Ruiz Zafon! I've been recommending it to everyone but no one seems to have read it yet. :(
You should do a books about royalty rec!!
Awesome idea!!
Okay but when are you reading the other 3 books on the shadow of the wind?
the shadow of the wind is my favorite book (all-time!) and it's so weird hearing people talk about it bc intellectually i know it's famous but i've never met anyone who's actually read it
Had to pause and comment on how cute this top is!
Thank you!!!
salt to the seaaa 🌊
Will definitely try the thief series cause you reccomend it 😄😄 is there only 5 books in the series ?
Have you read the other books in the Cemetery of Forgotten Books series? I just finished Shadow of the Wind and was wondering if I should continue the series!
Synopsis of Station eleven sounds like the theatre group from Midsummer night's dream in post- apocalyptic world
That’s the inspiration I believe!
Hi, just wondering if you have read Touch by Claire North? Again a engrossing story that only she could tell.
Wait, what? Finnikin is definitely not the prince and heir. I think you need a re-read! Anyway, lovely reccomendations as always!
Yeah I watched that and I was like “Regan what r u doing” lol
Are you going to read Nevermoor any time soon, because i would really appreciate your opinion on that book.
Still cant believe you haven't read The Way of Kings/Words of Radiance/Oathbringer..
Yay first like!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What Light by Jay Asher
It's always strange to see a TH-camr wear the same clothes as you. (Love the shirt haha) Well at least I know she's got good style! ;)
Hi I’m 2 years in the future, I can’t see where ur top is from 😭 could you tell?
