I appreciate you saying you want to read less and enjoy books more. Sometimes booktube makes it feel like a competition of "who can read the most books in a month" lol
Seriously. I want to start a booktube channel but I read a couple a month if I’m lucky. I have a full time job and a side hustle but I love reading and would love to share that with others.
@@melissakrimmel1384 You should totally start it one though if you are passionate about it! If you are forming more in depth reviews, people will appreciate it more than 30 quick reviews jammed into one video
true, sometimes it can seem like a competition… BUT (speaking for myself here) reading helps escaping the real world and distract you from other things, so even though I say ‘quality over quantity’ I’ve come to realize that from the outside it may seem like I read only for the count
i am happy with me while reading over 40 books and i was happy when i read 20 books a year. reading slumps are kinda good and bad because they force you to take a break. i read about 40 maybe something books this year so far, and i had two reading slumps (one that lasted 3 months and one that lasted around a month)
I am seriously so excited that you are stepping into the fantasy genre! This has like forever been my favorite and I'm just so excited to watch and be a part of this!!
Slowing down and really enjoying a book or a series is my sweet spot! It’s just nice to really get into the world of the book and get to know the characters but I think it’s cool you pushed yourself to see how many you could read. Definitely getting some of these recommendations
Can I just say I LOVE that you mention non-spice and mentioning that content in a book. I prefer to not read books with a lot of “spice” in it but it is hard to find that honestly! Would love more recommendations!!
THE INFERNAL DEVICES!!! I would recommend reading this trilogy before mortal instruments because it will still make sense, they're a complete different point in time so I don't think there to be a right or wrong order. I hope you enjoy the series!
I'd love to read all of the books, but I feel like the Mortal Instrument books in particular are getting a lot of hate. that's why i'm scared to start 🙈 so.. are they good? 😩🫣
I was in a major reading slump recently too then read 19 this month!! granted I work from home 3 days a week so I have more time than the average person. But I helped myself by checking out more books than usual from the library (idk why but I will read a library book faster than a book I own). I got books in all different genres and I just switched genres constantly. Also listened to 2 of the books on audio while I was doing chores/driving to work. :) also DNFd a book for the first time ever because I was not about to be in a slump again lol
Ive read 37 books this year so far and for me it’s A LOT! Cuz I have a work, I travelled, I love meeting friends, I have other hobbies, I love watching shows and just chilling at home while doing nothing and there’s not enough hours in a day to do all of that. I don’t really understand ppl’ who feel bad when they re in a reading slump.. If you don’t feel like reading, if you don’t want to, if you don’t have time… it’s okay ! Don’t pressure yourself, there’s no competition, do wathever make you feel good and happy ! Reading is meant to be fun. 🍏
If you liked it, I highly recomment the "Remnant Chronicles". Dance of Thieves is like a spin-off of that series. You get to know about the life of Queen Lia who sends Kazi on her mission.
i love how you tell if it has spice our not because i am one of your yonger readers and i dont want to accidently pick up a book with alot of spice so thank you haley
Just a note for lord of the rings! the hobbit is a middle grade book and then from there they are adult in terms of writing style but they really are amazing! hope you love them!
Did Haley just motivated me to complete the shatter me series Hell Yes! Now that Haley uploaded a new wrap up video I know I am reading some mumbers of books
@@Anders-EmmettPlayground I’m just trying to spread the gospel God will welcome you if you ever want to turn to him please think before it’s to late. 💗
Fantasy is by far my favorite genre. I'm so happy you're stepping into our world! It's just, in my opinion, the perfect genre because it often involves other genres within it, there's mysteries, action, comedy, romance, and all the different tropes of course! Fantasy can literally encompass everything and it's so fun to get to escape into a completely different world. Also, I agree you probably should've started with the Mortal Instruments, since it was the original series, I think it provides a little more information and context about that world and such (I haven't read infernal devices yet so I'm not too sure) but it shouldn't be a huge deal.
I don’t think you understand haley how much your videos help calming me down, they comfort me and help me relax so much between all the stress I’ve been going through, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH 🍎
you'll be fine starting with the infernal devices!!! It doesn't spoil anything dw. Read last hours right after this(chain of gold, chain of iron, chain of thorns.) because its her best work in my opinion and its about the children of the characters in infernal devices.
@@tate5543 ahhhh I don’t know:( it’s a 6 book series and while it was enjoyable I much preferred the infernal devices. I don’t think there is a right or wrong order though, as long as you read infernal devices before last hours and tmi before tda.
@@bri1024 I wouldn't say that you would be completely lost because Cassieclare introduces the world in most of her books, but lady midnight is the first book in a trilogy called The Dark Artifices (tda) and it occurs chronologically after the mortal instruments (tmi) so there would be some spoilers about the end of tmi e.g. who dies, who lives, certain events. There are also a few references to characters and events from tmi like when one character appeared I was like heyyy I missed you so maybe read that series before starting tda? I think the best order is read tmi before tda:) hope that helps!
When your goodreads reading challenge is to read 20 book in a year and Haley reads 20 in a month!😅🙈 i love this kind of videos and I admire her so much!! 😍
I can't wait for you to read The Lunar Chronicle Series and The Renegade Series by Marissa Meyer. They are two of my favorite series, and I was so excited when I saw that you got them! 🍎
Also I’m so happy you enjoyed the shatter me series! That’s an all time fav for me! You need to read the next inheritance games book! It just came out!!!!
love your videos! I've realised that I've been following you for more years than I though I have. I'm very shocked about the fact that you are just one year older than me because you have accomplished so many things in life and I'm just still studying. Have a lovely day!❤
as soon as i saw ur channel i cant stop watching u i just love how u love books cuz u have showed me books can be fun and enjoyable, i absolutely love books now because of you so thanks haley xx
if you loved dance of thieves I HIGHLY recommend the kiss of deception trilogy! it’s set before dance of thieves and introduces recurring characters!!! SO GOOD😭😭
Hey..I just wanted to ask you something because my cousin was reading ‘kiss of deception’ and she’s like 11…nearly twelve..but I feel like there are heavy topics in it? So is there like any spice or is it appropriate?
@@songloverz5074 there are some heavier themes, but these occur more in the 2nd and 3rd book! there is little to no spice with more of a “fade to black” vibe (this occurs in the 3rd book), death and war because it is a fantasy series, and not a lot of language if i can remember. but, honestly I would say 12-13 is a good age to start! If your cousin is already really into it, I recommend they just continue!! It’s a really great series but the first book is definitely the most tame!!
Yes! I’m so glad you loved The Hobbit. The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy is one of my favs, but weirdly enough I’ve never read the 3 books. After watching this video though I think I’ll finally get around to reading them!
stop i just finished the second book of the selection and i'm so ready to get back into my imaginary world in the third and final book. I love ya so much haley you get me out of all my reading slumps 🥰🍎
absolutely luvv ur videos, congrats on 800K subs!!! i wish more people knew about ur channel, ur videos and ur book reviews are AMAZING. I have never read so many books in one month, ur vedos got me back to reading, tysm
Tolkien is on my list next! I just finished all the Narnia books and I want to continue down that reading vibe. I was a little intimidated by LOTR series too so I’m glad you were surprised by the Hobbit. Makes me excited to start it.
I love how she never spoils ANYTHING, I mean I´ve seen so many spoilers for the shatter me series, but she never reveals anything important with I just love.
I love the way you mention that you want to read less because as a slow reader I always feel like I don't read as much as other people if you get what I mean. I love both your channels so keep up the good work :)🍎
I so appreciate you intentionally mentioning whether it’s a closed door or open door romance book- I only read closed door stuff for the most part and it’s so helpful when making my tbr list!!
thanks for all the recs❤️🥰 i'm so excited that ur getting into fantasy!! it has always intrigued me & now i have lots of books i can try if i feel like it:D
thats literally amazing that you read 20 books in a month! Im glad you enjoyed these books but yes I agree that book tube makes it feel like a competition when it comes to reading an an amount of books in one month and it doesn’t really feel enjoyable if you’re rushing a book just to say u finished it, but yeah great video have a great day! 🙏🏼
I really enjoyed your wrap-up!! Really excited to dive into the dance of thieves duology & the bodyguard! 🍎 Can't wait for the reading vlogs and your live reactions!
I am so glad you loved the Dance of Thieves duology! Mary E. Pearson is such an amazing writer. Have you read the original trilogy, The Remnant Chronicles? Those books are just as amazing!
Now that you’re exploring into the fantasy genre I highly recommend the awakening series by Nora Roberts. There’s 2 books as of rn but the 3rd book comes out either next month or November!
OMG the infernal devices is my favorite series in the world!!! if you do want to read the mortal instruments eventually, be aware that the epilogue of Clockwork Princess somewhat spoils the ending of The Mortal Instruments but I still recommend it! id also recommend watching Emmabooks's TH-cam video on how to read Cassandra Clare's books because its super helpful! can wait for you to read Clockwork Prince!!
Earlyyy love your content keep up the good work 💕✨ I am currently reading the shatter me series I started it because you recommended it and I’m glad I trusted now it is one of my faves even though I haven’t finished it yet ily💕📚
You’re reading so many books that I wish I could read for the first time and feel all the same feelings and I love that you’re having so much fun doing it!! YA books are so fun 😌 also, the grip Ms. Cass is going to have on your reading journey. If you want - emmmabooks is OBSESSED and she has tons of vlogs reading them all and also all the ways in which you can read the books.
yesss so excited for you to read the shadowhunter chronicles, it's really good !! if i remember correctly the infernal devices doesn't spoil you the mortal instruments series but i recommend you reading the mortal instrument series afterward. if you are kinda confuse in the order of the books, Cassandra Clare did a reading order of her books on her website :)
!!!! i know you probably won't see this but you have no idea how happy it makes me that you enjoyed the hobbit, enjoyed tolkien's world, and you want to continue reading lotr. these books mean SO much to me.... it makes me so happy to see people enjoying it. lotr is inherently about good persevering against evil, and that it is the small deeds in our lives that matter. i hope these books resonate with you similarly to how they did with me
I’ve really been enjoying your videos lately!! You bring such a cozy and fun aspect to reading. Anytime I watch one of these videos I want to RUN to a book store buy every recommendation ❤️🍎
Yes I think reading slowly allows you to immerse yourself in the authors’s world better. You appreciate the prose and the words the author chooses. Love your videos Haley and your recommendations with no spice. 😁🙏📚
The Hobbit is lovely and easy to read! Also, it’s a great introduction to Middle Earth. The films have some moments but the book is definitely better. As for Lord of the rings- it’s harder to read, especially in the beginning but stick with it because it gets beyond amazing! The movies are just as awesome and one of the best films ever made!
The Bodyguard is one of my favorite books of the year so far (I'll reach 200 by this month so that's saying something). Whenever I think about it I feel so happy. And I don't even like romcoms! It was pretty much perfect for me too.
Thank you so much for telling us about spice bc I’m 15 and Christian so I try not to read it and I’ve found so many great books on your channel!!!!!! 🍎
I dnf alot of books and you motivated me to stop that habit. I'm motivated to finish the Stay with me series(This book is amazing btw. Such a beautiful story) ...okay I'll read it later when my mind is prepared for series. I'm more in stand-alones atm.
I started reading 4 days ago because of your videos and I am on my 5th book hehehe. thank you for inspiring me to read again. it has been magical!! ⭐️⭐️
haley!! while you’re in your fantasy era, i highly recommend the mara dyer series by michelle hodkin. very similar vibes to shatter me with the romance and powers but without the dystopia. just finished the first book and instant 5 stars i adored it!! online it says it’s a paranormal romance but it’s not even rlly like that, not scary at all and i get scared by coraline LMAO so don’t let it stop you xx
So excited that you’re reading Cassandra Clare books! I own most of them but I haven’t finished any of them yet! You inspired me to start with clockwork angel 🍎 🍏
i love how you talked about enemies to lovers in romance vs fantasy bc after the cruel prince no regular enemies to lovers hit the same for me like come on someone needs to banish each other or i’m bored
🍎 I love your videos! Can’t wait for more. I think it’s funny that you’re over that thrillers for now, bingeing a lot at once will definitely do that, same for romance for me though. I like to alternate genres each time I read if I can so I don’t get burned out and so it’s easier to remember each book individually and they don’t blend together in my crazy brain lol
2 recommendations! A fun YA series I’ve read recently is Amari and the Night Brothers, so good. Also, if you like reading about the fae, you should try a different Margaret Rogerson book, Enchantment of Ravens. I think the pacing was a little better in that one, and it’s also got a small romance subplot. 🍎
Hey, Haley! You should read A lily in disguise. It's a really good historical romance. No spice and A LOT of witty banter, it was a 5 stars read for me. I know it's not the genre you usually read but I think you would enjoy it.
I appreciate you saying you want to read less and enjoy books more. Sometimes booktube makes it feel like a competition of "who can read the most books in a month" lol
Yessss!! I completely agree with this! It makes me feel like I have to zoom through them to keep up but I’m glad she’s slowing down
Seriously. I want to start a booktube channel but I read a couple a month if I’m lucky. I have a full time job and a side hustle but I love reading and would love to share that with others.

Oh thank god I’ve only read 11 and I was so upset with myself but life is hectic and I love video games
so glad you agree :))

You should do a video on how to be motivated to read a lot of books because lately I feel like I've been in a reading slump and 20 books...Wow!!!
me too 😭 the only book ive finished this summer was for school
I was in a major reading slump recently too then read 19 this month!! granted I work from home 3 days a week so I have more time than the average person. But I helped myself by checking out more books than usual from the library (idk why but I will read a library book faster than a book I own). I got books in all different genres and I just switched genres constantly. Also listened to 2 of the books on audio while I was doing chores/driving to work. :) also DNFd a book for the first time ever because I was not about to be in a slump again lol
same here, I’ve been on the same book for 4-5 months and I just bought another book at target yesterday lol
try reading shorter books (200-300 pages) you will get motivated by finishing a book than you read other
Ive read 37 books this year so far and for me it’s A LOT!
Cuz I have a work, I travelled, I love meeting friends, I have other hobbies, I love watching shows and just chilling at home while doing nothing and there’s not enough hours in a day to do all of that.
I don’t really understand ppl’ who feel bad when they re in a reading slump.. If you don’t feel like reading, if you don’t want to, if you don’t have time… it’s okay !
Don’t pressure yourself, there’s no competition, do wathever make you feel good and happy !

OMG the infernal devices is my favorite series in the world!!! if you do want to read the mortal instruments eventually, be aware that the epilogue of Clockwork Princess somewhat spoils the ending of The Mortal Instruments but I still recommend it! id also recommend watching Emmabooks's TH-cam video on how to read Cassandra Clare's books because its super helpful! can wait for you to read Clockwork Prince!!
added the Dance of Thieves series right away to my TBR 💕
It’s incredible
Earlyyy love your content keep up the good work 💕✨ I am currently reading the shatter me series I started it because you recommended it and I’m glad I trusted now it is one of my faves even though I haven’t finished it yet ily💕📚
You have no idea how much I appreciate you telling us wether there is spice in the book or not
You’re reading so many books that I wish I could read for the first time and feel all the same feelings and I love that you’re having so much fun doing it!! YA books are so fun 😌 also, the grip Ms. Cass is going to have on your reading journey. If you want - emmmabooks is OBSESSED and she has tons of vlogs reading them all and also all the ways in which you can read the books.
These reading wrap-up videos are the best!🍎
yesss so excited for you to read the shadowhunter chronicles, it's really good !!
if i remember correctly the infernal devices doesn't spoil you the mortal instruments series but i recommend you reading the mortal instrument series afterward.
if you are kinda confuse in the order of the books, Cassandra Clare did a reading order of her books on her website :)
!!!! i know you probably won't see this but you have no idea how happy it makes me that you enjoyed the hobbit, enjoyed tolkien's world, and you want to continue reading lotr. these books mean SO much to me.... it makes me so happy to see people enjoying it. lotr is inherently about good persevering against evil, and that it is the small deeds in our lives that matter. i hope these books resonate with you similarly to how they did with me
I am loving these videos! They really get me into reading new books!
I’ve really been enjoying your videos lately!! You bring such a cozy and fun aspect to reading. Anytime I watch one of these videos I want to RUN to a book store buy every recommendation ❤️🍎
I really hope you enjoy Cassie Clare's books because the universe is literally so stunning and creative. Def a favorite of mine! 🍎
🍎🍎🍎 loooove seeing all your book recs! super looking forward to the do over coming out - you got me hooked to lynn painter!
ur book videos just make me happy thanks for making them!!🥰🍎
i’m so glad you loved the hobbit!! literally an essential for getting into fantasy! i read it a few years ago and really want to give it a reread soon
absolute favourite videos of all time...highly revommend reading ACOTAR next month🥰🥰🥰
you switching up your reading style is causing me to switch up my reading style😂i’m not complaining tho. i will never run out of tbr books haha!
Yes I think reading slowly allows you to immerse yourself in the authors’s world better. You appreciate the prose and the words the author chooses. Love your videos Haley and your recommendations with no spice. 😁🙏📚
The bodyguard is the best romance (and book in general) so far this year! I loved it
i love your reading videos sm you really make me want to read
The Hobbit is lovely and easy to read! Also, it’s a great introduction to Middle Earth. The films have some moments but the book is definitely better. As for Lord of the rings- it’s harder to read, especially in the beginning but stick with it because it gets beyond amazing! The movies are just as awesome and one of the best films ever made!
The Bodyguard is one of my favorite books of the year so far (I'll reach 200 by this month so that's saying something). Whenever I think about it I feel so happy. And I don't even like romcoms! It was pretty much perfect for me too.
Thank you so much for telling us about spice bc I’m 15 and Christian so I try not to read it and I’ve found so many great books on your channel!!!!!! 🍎
your videos are the highlights of my week! can’t wait to see what you think of the acotar series! one of my favorites!
Great wrap up, now I've added some books on my September TBR again. Can't wait to see what content you come up with in September
I dnf alot of books and you motivated me to stop that habit. I'm motivated to finish the Stay with me series(This book is amazing btw. Such a beautiful story)
...okay I'll read it later when my mind is prepared for series. I'm more in stand-alones atm.
I started reading 4 days ago because of your videos and I am on my 5th book hehehe. thank you for inspiring me to read again. it has been magical!! ⭐️⭐️
You’ve got me so excited, I’m about to start the Caraval series!! 😁🍎
ITS SO GOOD- i’ve only read the first but… i’m extremely obsessed
You should it’s AMAZING
haley!! while you’re in your fantasy era, i highly recommend the mara dyer series by michelle hodkin. very similar vibes to shatter me with the romance and powers but without the dystopia. just finished the first book and instant 5 stars i adored it!! online it says it’s a paranormal romance but it’s not even rlly like that, not scary at all and i get scared by coraline LMAO so don’t let it stop you xx
i LOVE the caraval series soooo much!! definitely my fav series ever:)
So excited that you’re reading Cassandra Clare books! I own most of them but I haven’t finished any of them yet! You inspired me to start with clockwork angel 🍎 🍏
i love how you talked about enemies to lovers in romance vs fantasy bc after the cruel prince no regular enemies to lovers hit the same for me like come on someone needs to banish each other or i’m bored
🍎 I love your videos! Can’t wait for more. I think it’s funny that you’re over that thrillers for now, bingeing a lot at once will definitely do that, same for romance for me though. I like to alternate genres each time I read if I can so I don’t get burned out and so it’s easier to remember each book individually and they don’t blend together in my crazy brain lol
i read better than the movies 4 u & better than the prom. i think im in love. thank u haley for giving us the best book recs. ure my fav.
i've been feeling tired and drained lately, this def comforted me :'))
i love how you say if its closed door or not! i appreciate it so much
2 recommendations! A fun YA series I’ve read recently is Amari and the Night Brothers, so good. Also, if you like reading about the fae, you should try a different Margaret Rogerson book, Enchantment of Ravens. I think the pacing was a little better in that one, and it’s also got a small romance subplot. 🍎
Hey, Haley! You should read A lily in disguise. It's a really good historical romance. No spice and A LOT of witty banter, it was a 5 stars read for me. I know it's not the genre you usually read but I think you would enjoy it.
