Anyone else randomly find Hannah one day and been obsessed with this queen ever since?

Hannah if you start a podcast and talk in depth about books that you read, I'd be the number one fan. Your voice is soooo soothing, god I love it.

sees "mixed feelings" regarding Addie LaRue on the thumbnail: spill the tea sis🍵

Hannah making controversial statements right off the start

I love the way how you tell us a short summary regarding the book and not just recommending them...it just makes easier to decide if we want to read the book

I'm glad more people had issues with Addie, I felt alone for a moment with my opinion but it was a 3 star read for me and that was me feeling generous. I really wanted to love the book (since everyone hyped it up). I felt very conflicted by it because there were parts where it felt like a 4 star read and parts where I felt like I didn't even care if I finished the book. Addie never owned the repercussion of her decisions. She kept blaming the darkness for everything until the end (when he was perfectly clear from the start). She just never learned! She lived 300 years and never got any wiser and stayed stubborn for the sake of being stubborn. She was even willing to sacrifice an innocent soul because she couldn't accept the fact that the person she loved also made his own decision... I don't know... There are teenagers wiser than that (Anne Frank wink, wink). Too many thoughts... but definitely an unpopular opinion.

Me in a reading slump. Hannah: all the books I've read recently Me: DON'T SAY IT AGAIN QUEEN

“I didn’t even shed a single tear which makes me sad”

every time hannah posts: my tbr: DON'T DO IT me: clicks on the video anyway and increases the length of my unending tbr

House on the Cerulean Sea is one of my favorites of the year. It is like a warm hug that is impossible to hate. Loved this video!

Does anyone think her voice is soooo soothing? literallyyyy

It's a shame that Addie wasn't developed as a character considering the author spent apparently 10 years working on the book.. Glad you're enjoying what you're reading lately, hope all is well 💛 💛

I know how it feels like to start reading so much again🥺 I'm almost finishing my goodreads goal

OHMYGODS Hannah this is why you're my favourite booktuber. I relate to every single thing you said about Addie LaRue. Everyone's in love with the book and I was like .....eh?? I don't care?? Henry was my favourite part of the book, and the new dynamic at the end with Addie and Luc I wanted more of it!! The writing was beautiful but there was literally no plot in the book for so long.

I felt the same way about The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. I thought maybe I was missing something. I’m so happy that someone finally agrees with me. It could have benefited from some serious editing.

Omg I completely agree with your thoughts on the invisible life of addie larue. I had such high expectations and was so bored in the middle of it and the ending saved it for me lol

I saw Darius The Great Is Not Okay in my library. I can’t believe that you read it, and posted about it on Twitter and now on KZfaq. It‘s so great to see a book somewhere and then see that same book read by my favorite booktuber.

I'm crying all day saying everything sucks and then reading 5 graphic novels in a day

The House in the Cerulean Sea is one of my favorite books of all time, it literally got me out of a depressive rut and restored my faith in humanity. I've been meaning to read Darius the great is not okay forever! You should read the sequel, I've heard it is just as good

finally, someone who doesn’t put the invisible life of addie larue on a pedestal

in “the invisible life of addie larue”, addie talked so much about her love for humanity and how she can make a mark in this world that i felt more interested in the rare few characters she’s met (which you’re right, is weird for someone who’s managed to live for over three hundred years) than addie herself. and that interest in itself was spotty because reading throughout all this, i knew there was a lot of things missing in the exploration of how much societies were affected throughout the years addie lived and the grief and hope different people have had to live through in their lives. it just seemed like addie was so focused on herself that it became hard to empathize with her because it felt like such a narrow perspective. i think that despite this book touching on some darker themes that were very well-developed, it still skipped out on a more diverse range of characters and their different experiences throughout history

To be honest you’re the reason I got into reading in the first place Hannah and even decided to pursue english literature because of it after high school .But I still get sooo much joy from even seeing your notifications. Love you and I am very very proud of you girl , you’re an amazing human being🤍 so proud to have grown up with you

i think the disappointment came from the hype surrounding the book BEFORE and AFTER it came out... the only lesson Addie LaRue taught me was to never get carried in the hype lol

THANK YOU, I felt the exact same way about Addie LaRue and you are the first person I’ve seen to have the same opinion as me. Everyone else has been raving about how much they love it and I just don’t get it

I'm not Persian, but watching you gush over Darius the Great is Not Okay was so endearing. Definitely adding that to my tbr

Seeing you light up over Darius The Great made my morning 🥺💗 adding it to my TBR! I hope you’re doing great!!

i love how passionate you are about books (even the ones you didn't like), i can like feel it even across a screen and it makes your videos just so much fun to watch

I really appreciate how you’re very considerate of people who haven’t read the books you talk about, yet. Thank you !!

So happy that you loved Darius the great is not okay!! I’m not Persian but I am child of Turkish and Algerian immigrants and it made me cry multiple times, I felt so seen too regarding the mixed cultures 💗

Your review of Darius The Great is Not OK made me cry. I'm so happy for you. Connecting with a book on that level is such a priceless experience.

I am so happy you are loving your time reading 💜💜

this video makes me so happy seeing you out of your reading slump.i hope youre happy too ❤. Everytime a new video by you pops up i get some snacks and i can literally watch you talk about stuffs you love for hours on end❤.

I’m so happy for you, my life is at a low right now and I’m dealing with a lot of things. It’s lonely but I’m trying my best and you are helping me through it all. Thank you, I love you 💕

omg i’m so glad you read darius the great is not okay!! it’s one of my favorite books of 2020 ☺️ i’m planning to read the sequel, darius the great deserves better, next month so i’m excited for that 🤗💕

Whenever i´m stressed of feeling anxious I watch your videos. Your voice is so soothing and the content is just perfection

There’s something so soothing and satisfying about hannah’s voice i can’t

You are the first person I have come across not to gush about Addie La Rue and give it 5 stars and I am so glad as I feel the same way. I was so excited to read this but just found it to be incredibly flat. I didn't care about the characters at all and in fact my favourite scenes were the ones with the devil in them. Such a shame. Love the video by the way. Most of the other books you mentioned are on their way to me so am excited about their arrival now. 😄 Thanks for your content honey. x

This video was a pure delight honestly🥲 such good recommendations and finally someone agreeing on Addie with me. I’ve been craving a nice fantasy to dive head first into and the ember in the ashes sounds like the perfect one!🤩 and: Hannah you’re energy and calm is what the world needs in these times, thank you!

the way you phrase things and the sound of your voice soothe my anxiety a lot. thank you so so much! 💓

Watching how happy Darius the Great is Not Okay made you just made so incredibly happy! I 100% feel you when you say that you feel seen - I recently had the same moment with a book and it's such a great feeling!

i’m so happy you are back into reading, you were the first booktuber i found🥺

Should I be doing homework? Yes. Can it wait? Also yes.

okay im literally OBSESSED with the way your bookshelves look. the cozy aesthetic vibes jumped out

Im in a reading slump rn and its awful 😩! But I am so glad taht you are finally getting back into reading and are finding what works best for you!

Thanks for recommending House in the cerulean Sea. It reminded me I am still capable of reading a book without putting it down. I was happy that three days. Even while working reading it made me so happy.

it makes me so excited that you’re so motivated to read! i love your videos so much 💗

seeing u talk about darius the great i swear u were glowing truly a wholesome emotional moment such a blessing to find books like that :,)

I just want to say that ily. This week has been pretty rough and this video really made my day. I just hope you are doing well and continue to do well. Thank you for making the content you make! It really means a lot to me even if you are going on about things I dont necessarily know of, I just love hearing you talk about the things you love or even don't. Daily serotonin probably haha

I finished The house in the Cerulean Sea yesterday and happy tears were coming from my eyes. This is totally one of my favorite books. A warm hug is the best description for this book. I also currently have Addie LaRue as DNF. I had it as a library loan but after almost 200 pages I am still not “into it”, I am glad I am not the only one with mixed feelings

I’m currently reading This is How You Lose the Time War because you recommended it way back when. So far I’m enjoying it. Also your review of Addie LaRue is exactly how I felt about it.

it gives me such tremendous joy that i FREAKING SAW THIS FIRST, AND KNEW ALMOST HALF OF THESE BOOKS?? AND LITERALLY SO EXCITED I MISSED HERRR

So happy for you hannah, it's been days since I have seen you this happy..love you so much

this video is so entertaining

I'm just over halfway through chain of iron and I'm not ready to be broken 😭 I'm also sooooo looking forward to watching your reading blog of it!!!

I adored Darius the great!!! The scene where his dad finds him on the roof(?) and that talk broke me. I was listening on audiobook while baking with my family in the kitchen and it was a struggle not to sob in front of them

Not sure if you’ll see this but I just wanted to thank you for having this channel. I first came across your videos a year ago at the beginning of the lockdown and you’ve introduced me to the world of booktube. I had been in a reading slump for years up to that point (I’d only read 1-2 books per year) but your videos inspired me to get back to my love for reading 🥰

It's so lovely to see you happy about reading again!

I'm so so happy to hear that you saw yourself in Darius the great is not okay! it's so important to have someone tell you, even if "just" through a book, that you are valued and not alone 💙💙

YOUR HAIR oh my god it’s so pretty!!

This is my first video from you, and I'm hooked! Going to go back and binge. Your voice is so calming and I love how you talk about and explain your reviews.

Love you❤❤ Hearing you talk about Darius the great is not okay ( You made me add it to my never ending tbr) made me so happy. You genuinely looked like u LOVED it and your face was soo happy.

I’m currently reading The House in the Cerulean Sea and am LOVING ITTT. I just smile the entire time I’m reading, which is exactly what I was looking for!

I really want to read all of these! I'm so happy Darius the Great is Not Okay made you feel so seen and respected- that's what reading should do and everyone deserves to feel that way. I've had that one on my list for awhile now and your review definitely makes me want to pick it up soon!

I’ve been obsessed with your videos these days!

Wow! Literally all the booktubers I watch have uploaded at once. I am jumping in joy..... Love you Hannah and hope you are better. :)

Hello Queens, Kings, and Nobles! Hope your mental health is okay and that you are finding a little bit of content in everyday life! ❤️ Love, Ivy

So happy you’re having a great reading year so far! 💜

If you still have the other 5 hrs of the Chain of Iron vlog, honestly I'd watch it. You're just so enjoyable to watch, Hannah

AAHHH! I just re read darius too, and I love it! I thought of you when reading this, because it is so unashamedly Persian, in a way YA books so rarely are. I'm Indian, and we have a version of taroofing too, my family and I laughed about it that same way yours did! I almost cried hearing you talk about it, it's such a rare thing to feel seen.

Haven’t finished Chain of Iron because I want to savor it but I have read the others and I definitely agree what you said about each of them! As for Daurius the Great I absolutely loved even tho I’m not Persian but seeing that representation for other POC makes me super happy

i'm so happy that you're out of a reading slump!! i was also in a slump for 6 months and it was terrible (the good thing is i fell in love with kpop) but literally 4 days ago i started reading again and i'm so happy :)

I’m so glad you’ve been able to read more recently! ❤️❤️❤️

this was so heartful, youre such a good person.

i'm actually so happy you read house in the cerulean sea this year. i read it just recently and thought everyone had moved on from it

Thank you for summing up everything I felt for Addie LaRue! I'm so glad someone else had a hard time connecting with the characters

i'm reading the invisible life of addie larue right now!! it's actually my first experience with v.e. schwab's writing and omg i'm in LOVE with her prose?? it's so lyrical and haunting and honestly even though the plot is sometimes kinda slow i'm all down to forgive it just because the writing is so PRETTY like…wow.

I am so happy for you that you were able to find a book that spoke to you so deeply 💛

we have the exact same diviners rankings so that's fun! I totally get you on Addie LaRue, I didn't really care for Addie's character that much either! I gave it five stars but that was entirely due to me feeling so seen in henry's narrative that I sobbed for an hour after his backstory chapter!

Your voice is so calming and peaceful, Hannah. Love this video, as always!! Also...you are so beautiful~ 😘💖💜

I need to get A Sky Beyond The Storm read... I enjoyed the first 3 books and it sounds like I won't be disappointed in this last one! And you've totally convinced me to read The House In The Cerulean Sea from this and your past discussions about it. :)

I love the way the books get presented here. What an awesome channel.

Such a treat💗love your content,love your style,love your bookshelf and I literally love everything here

So glad you enjoyed Darius the great is not okay!! It’s so good!!

Just a reminder not to put pressure on yourself now to continue reading this much. Just because you read a lot rn, doesn't mean you have to continue reading this much. Like, pls don't add any pressure that doesn't have to be there. We love you!

Your review of Addie LaRue is perfect! I felt nothing for her and had more emotional connection to Luc.

I clicked on this video so fast,.. my reading slump is getting really bad. So thank you very much! 😊

Your addie thoughts blew my mind. When I read it I gave it an easy 5 stars but then all the thoughts you had I totally agreed with and when I read it I just didn’t think that deep into it and I’m shocked at how thoughtful your brain is when analyzing a book lol

I just happened upon your channel and I wanted to say the video was great and it's so awesome to see an Iranian Booktuber!!! Also Darius the Great is Not Okay is AMAZING! As an Iranian-Canadian, I agree with everything you said about it, and I highly recommend it to any third-culture kid. Eid Mobarak!

I don't think I've seen a single person who wasn't dissapointed by King of Crows and it's no different for me. Most people find the middle part drags on and nothing happens, but I actually liked this part the most. Throughout almost the entire book I thought it would be my new favourite in the series. And then the ending happened and everything was so rushed and full of plot conveniences and the author breaking her own rules, which is one of my least favourite things in a fantasy book because it instantly kills all the suspense. So yeah, I'm sad that I didn't like this more, but I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on it!

This is such a beautiful girl.. talking about books i'll probably never read.. yet with her voice which is incredibly soothing. So i subscribed. :))

Because of you I read the Ember in the Ashes quartet and it is an all time favorite! 🥰Thank you so much! Same for The Diviners! I am happy you have been enjoying reading lately 😊and am always sending you positive energy! ☀️(Also just added Darius the Great is Not Okay to my TBR!)

Hannah, when is bookshelf tour cominn ?? We are waiting with heart in our handss🤩

Instantly subscribed after so spoke about the last book. You can really tell how passionate you were about it.

She's beauty She's grace She makes a reading slump disappear to space Queen ♥️♥️♥️

I'm so happy to see Darius the great is not okay in this video, it deserves so much attention. I'm not Persian but as a south East Asian, I can relate to a lot of the culture. It was just a such a rollercoaster of emotions but with a warm core

The only book from your list I've read so far is This Is How You Lose The Time War. I read it last year in our book club, and I just - uuuugh I loved it so much!!!!! I'm not really a fan of a very poetic writing style usually, but I thought it really suited the story that was being told. Having a group to discuss and dissect it with also made me enjoy it more, I think - because, like Hannah said, it's pretty sparse in terms of literal descriptions; it leaves a lot to your own imagination. So getting to expand on what I was imagining was happening, and hearing what all of my friends thought too, really helped flesh that out for me. I think I got a more full reading experience through that than if I had just sat down and read it in one sitting. (Which you can do, because it's a very short book. Basically a novella.)

ah the same feeling you had with “darius the great is not okay” is the same that i had with “clap when you land” by elizabeth acevedo, which i guess you can say is a book for dominicans? it doesn’t necessarily touch too much on identity when it comes to being dominican-american, as one of the main characters is, but the focus on family and the pride for dominican culture and the island itself was really familiar to me and felt so personal, i cried afterwards. it makes me smile to see how seen you felt with darius in “darius the great is not okay”. seeing how much the author focused on friendship and family with darius, it made him become one of my favorite ya characters of all-time. hearing your thoughts as someone who this book is specifically targeted to, it was really meaningful to me because when you get to see yourself in a story about a culture that you’ve always felt like you didn’t have the right to be a part of, and then you come to see the character themself be able to connect with it through the people they love and come to befriend, it changes a lot for you and brings so much hope, and we all need that in stories like these

I having read the book I feel your energy of love what you have read. thank you for sending that love in that books you read.

I love seeing you happy ❤️

I haven't read any Cassandra Clare books ever since I didn't vibe with Lady Midnight but hearing you say that Chain of Gold might even be better than the Infernal Devices makes me want to try the series now
