I may not always agree with your thoughts on certain books, but I absolutely adore your videos and love to hear differing insights. I’m so glad I discovered your channel this year, bring on 2024!

Can I just say Hannah, I love how clear you speak. The automated subtitles are always perfect because of your perfect pronunciation thank you 🥺🥺🥺

This is totally off topic, but my baby absolutely loves your face and he can’t stop smiling at you! Sometimes I’m feeding him watching a video and if one of yours is on he just can’t stop smiling 😂❤

Your videos are like chatting/listening to my best friends.

It was a pleasure watching your videos and reading your recommendations for this year 🥰 here's to a new year filled with great reads and even greater memories ✨

I would love an updated shelf tour. I think your shelf is sooo pretty

Thank you! I genuinely didn’t understand how Happy Place seemed to be the majority of people’s least favorite Emily Henry novel!! Glad to see it getting love

So glad to see your love for the Rebecca Ross duology. I am not usually a fantasy reader but I loved A River Enchanted this year and plan to start the second one soon. I’ve heard very little about this series and think it deserves more attention. Adding Almond after you and Jack Edwards both recommended it.

Yayyyyy 🤍 hope you have a happy new year hannah!!!

Omg just got this notification on my phone! Always the best video of the year! Yay ❤

I would love to see a winter-y book rec video from you ♥️♥️

i love your videos and book thoughts so much!! have a lovely new year~

Lover this video it brightens up my day every time you do a video ❤

ooh, i definitely need to read a river enchanted!! i read sisters of sword and song this year and thought it was so good, so i definitely want to read more of her work.

Well it's 12 am in India, 31st - and my mum's b'day! Hope your year has been a good one 😊

I started Yona of the Dawn in 2023 because of your recommendation and I LOVE IT. Thanks for always pushing this manga haha!

Happy New Years🎉

Finally a booktuber who shares my love for Happy Place!! Saw it on the thumbnail and wanted to hear your opinion ^^

So glad you arent on the fourth wing kool aid bandwagon. It was so excessively crude for no reason I couldnt finish it.

I read Mexican Gothic this year and it was uniquely and delightfully strange gothic fiction. Loved the MC, she feels so real! Would love to hear your thoughts on the book!

I am so excited to hear your thoughts on A Curse for True Love. I just finished it last night and oh my god...

My biggest and unexpected discovery was Cassandra Clare's Infernal Devices. Finished it a month ago and still constantly thinking about it

TBOSAS is the reason I’m starting to read again! Although it wasn’t my favorite book I read this year (I read 6 books this month and two others in August and November), it’s definitely the one that had the most impact on me (clearly)!

I am happy you had a good reading year 🎉❤ Here are some of my favourites besides Hunger Games: * This Is How You Lose The Time War * Foster by Claire Keegan * In Memoriam by Alice Winn * Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

Happy new year hannah❤❤

I really love that this year you picked up a MANHWA if you are going down that road, "DAYTIME STAR" (webtoon) is an absolute masterpiece😭❤ Always love your videos💖 they bring me joy😍

I felt the exact same way about the Daughter of the Moon Goddess series, really enjoyed the first and was so disappointed in the second. Great video!!

Hannah: posts a video My anxiety: gone

You are absolutely amazing.

You should definitely read The Collected Regrets of Clover!! It was my biggest surprise this year

Time to procrastinate studying 🥰

Happy new year 😊💙💜🤗 I will finally read Secret Society of irregular Witches and Babel in 2024!

My day ended on such a good note because of this video ❤

Enjoyed hearing your thoughts in this one! My absolute favorite read of the year was A Goblin of the Glade by McKenzie Catron! Sooooo insanely good!

I was just thinking about how much I wanted to watch a video of yours 🎉

Sorry but “his ghost writer is a really good writer” is such a gag 😭 was not expecting it

ThanksMuch for sharing !

I was so freakin happy 😊 when I got the notification on my phone you uploaded a video ❤ some of my favorite books from this year where The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks, Live Your Best Lie by Jessie Weaver, I also read The Little Prince this year, I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jeanette McCurdy, and The Woman In Me by Britney Spears . So excited for 2024 and I definitely have books that I can’t wait to get to ❤

Just a heads up: "Why Raeliana ended up at the duke's mansion" is not a manga ☺️ It's a manhwa! If you feel like trying another one, I can advise reading " Who Made Me A Princess", also called "Athanasia" simply sometimes. Or "Villains are destined to die" (Penelope). Those are two of my favorites

Biggest surprise and best book I have read this year which has become my all time favourite book is Sword of Kaigen

i feel the same way about feeling my year was divided!!! it's so weird but you put it really well. i think part of it for me is at the beginning of the year i was in suuuuch a different place than i am now and so the books i read in that beginning time feel attached to like... a whole other person lol

Happy New Year Hannah! Thank you for your videos this year as always. the joy and comfort of your work means so much to me 💞

I love your videos and how pationately you talk about the books you love, it is truly inspiring 💗 My favourite and honestly most surprising books of the year was everything from the grisha verse✨ I discovered shadow and bones on a flea market and wasn't aware of how big the series was and I read all of them in january, they literally altered my brain chemistry. Expecially SOC and CK were SO good I'm still mad I didn't discover them a earlier in life I read them like three times this year bc they're so good😭 I also reread the hunger games series and tbosas and honestly I agree with everything you said, it is really a life changing expierience to read them now having more knowlege of the world. Suzanne truly is a genius Generally this year was really good for me bc I didn't read any book that I would rate below three stars which is awesome.🙌 I'm so excited for 2024 and I hope I get to read all of the books I bought this year (which is a lot lol) I'm wishing you and everyone who reads this a very happy new year and I'm excited for what's to come! 💗🎉✨

I've spent late summer and autumn reading Mexican Gothic, Certain Dark Things, and Gods of Jade and Shadow. Once I finish The Daugther of Dr. Moreau, I'm starting Beautiful Ones. I'm happy to know you liked it alot. I loved Woman Eating.

some of my favorite books this year were babel, the night circus, legendborn & remarkably bright creatures! honorable mentions: the winners, the summer of broken rules & sorcery of thorns

Got a notification that my library had stocked the ebook for Yona of the Dawn the second you mentioned it, so obviously I had to pause to read it

about to add more books to my huge tbr after watching this 😈

hannnah!! have you decided a new book for the book club?

Favourite: The Lies of Locke Lamora (my favourite book of all time now) Worst: From Blood and Ash (it was a Buddy read and luckily I didn’t have to finish it) Disappointment: Vengeful (the sequel to Vicious that I’ll pretend doesn’t exist) Surprise: Once Upon A Broken Heart (I’ve been struggling with YA lately, so I’m so happy I loved this)

Favourite: Legendborn by Tracy Deonn (not counting rereads) Worst: Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco Disappointment: Chain of Thorns by Cassandra Clare Surprise: Solo Leveling by Chugong and Skyward by Brandon Sanderson Thank you for this year, your videos are very calming and always fun to watch!

In the adventures of Amina Al Sirafi, the talking birds people (😂) make more sense when you've read her author trilogy (the Daevabad trilogy) as she's trying to connect the worlds and some of the characters from both series! By the way, love you're videos, watching them from France 😍

i’m in my hunger games era too 🙈🙈and i could not be having more fun if i tried im currently on catching fire and once i finish the books im gonna watch the movies omg i’m so excited

as I book geek, I love these!, I wish there was a business version.

If you’re looking for another amazing YA fantasy, definite pick up This Woven Kingdom!!! It’s so good

I think you just created my 2024 reading list :)

I’m happy to know you’re supporting the strike.💕

loved your videos this year! my favourite book this year was In Memoriam by Alice Winn its so brilliant!

I loved reading the last tale of the flower bride and a study in drowning too. Though Happy Place was my least favourite read this year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hi! Where do you find so many of your beautiful versions of books? Like Once Upon A Broken Heart and The Cruel Prince? The covers are soooo pretty!

omg I read 'We were liars' by e. lockhart this year and it was soooo good (and I totally agree 'The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' is a new favourite). But 'Heartstopper 5' by Alice Osman, 'Sword Catcher' by Cassandra Clare, and 'Shadow and Bone' by Leigh Bardugo were serious let-downs.

14:18 "The main character? 100% girl is a Libra. She can't make a decision to save her life" HAHAHAHAHA, I feel attacked but I laugh 'coz that's so true on so many levels 😂😂😂😂😂😂

this was my year of dnf-ing books which is huge for me, typically i would force myself to suffer through so they would count toward my reading total but this year i decided i didnt want to do that anymore... that being said a big disappointment of this year was gideon the ninth, it seemed like the perfect mix of everything i love but i just couldnt get into it, the writing was pretty but hard to follow, and it was taking too long for me to care about the characters. my favorites of the year were hell bent, fourth wing/iron flame (i know u hate these but they're such a fun escape, similar to acotar for me), and this fantasy series published in the late 80s/early 90s called the last herald-mage (i still have to read the third book) which was a surprisingly beautiful story about love and grief. finally i won't finish it by midnight tonight but another book i'm really excited about is mistborn, i figured it was about time i got into brandon sanderson and i am absolutely loving it so far. i've lost count of how many years i've been following you and your reading persuits, but i always look forward to your recommendations and yearly wrap-ups! i'm excited to see where books the books we read take us next year

Happy Place is also my favourite Emily Henry book!!

A manga/anime recommendation for you is Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End!! I think you would absolutely love it! Very cozy fantasy vibes but also has a strong plot that doesn’t make it too soft and fuzzy!

yes all props to Happy Place by Emily Henry! my favorite book of hers!

Love that you’re participating in the boycott! I enjoyed watching this so much! I can’t wait to use your recommendations next year 🙈🙈 also so glad you didn’t enjoy fourth wing, I felt the same way omg

I also feel like the reading I did in the first six months of this year happened much earlier than that.

I LOVED Vespertine! 17 year old autistic nun gets possessed by an immortal evil spirit who teaches her self care? "The revenant had devoured the populations of entire citites; it was also the entity who ordered me to eat my pottage." It's the funniest and sweetest dynamic i've ever seen. I admit the the plot of the storyline isn't mindbowling/very memorable, but Artemisia's inner dialogue (both with herself and with the ghost possessing her) is absolutely immaculate

My favourites for 2023 are: In Memoriam by Alice Winn (highly recommend, one of the best pieces of literature i’ve read and I don’t even usually like war fiction) The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri Sadie by Courtney Summers the Heartstopper graphic novels Carmilla by Sheridan le Fanu

wondering if you’ve read Elise Kova’s ‘Married to Magic’ series, seems like the type of fantasy romance that’s right up your alley. Duel with the Vampire Lord is my favorite!

you would LOVE mexican gothic. i read it last year and i still think about it all the time! velvet was the night is another good book by the same author :)

Where can I find that hardcover of the little prince? It’s so beautiful

How do you get through so many books? Do you do a lot of audiobooks?

me: sees a notification from Hannah’s channel also me: looks at my tbr as it is being crushed under the weight of all these book recs

please read a far wilder magic by allison saft! sometimes our view for certain fantasy novels matches up, and sometimes we completely disagree. im interested to see how this one fares :)

Good morning, I’m new to your channel and I’m just curious if you have ever heard of or read the demon days and vampire nights series? The first book is Born in Fire. It’s a fantasy romance.

Oh yes, finally. Alexa, play ...Ready for it?

Love your list and your thoughts! I read Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches because of your review and I am OBSESSED with it!!!! I'm also very curious to know which book(s) you read that you didn't talk about because of the boycott...

oh my gosh, yes! Happy Place is the best Emily Henry book!!!

I’m not sure if you mentioned it in any video or not, but I’m just curious; are you going to be getting any of the books from Cassandra Clare’s Kickstarter as part of your book collection or even to review? I haven’t heard (that I know of) much booktubers talking about it, so I’m curious😊 also I love watching your videos!!💜💜

Where do you get your British editions?

AGH LETS GO

Hannah please read the sword of kaigen I need to know ur thoughts 😩😩

Random question: I noticed you have a lot of hardcovers, which I prefer. However, I feel like I mostly see paperbacks in book stores. Do you normal buy your hardcovers online? I love going to bookstores but get disappointed when I don’t find a hardcover version.

Most favorite: Ignite me, Keeping 13, The right move, The hunger games books Least favorite: Icebreaker, King of Pride Most disappointing: A curse for true love (still gave it 4 stars), Five survive Most surprising: I must betray you (Which I think you will really like), Then she was gone

the Rebeca yarros books are on the BDM list because what author have said about the gene****

I love you book reviews and wanted to share some of my favorits this year 🥰 5star reads this year The Ballad of songbirds and snakes Sorcery of thrones Happy Place ( also my favorite E.H. I can‘‚ understand the people who don’t like it 😂 ) Mexican Gothic Fahrenheit 451 The Starless Sea + a few rereads And the series : (Red Rising Series Folk of the Air Series Poppy Wars Series)

I haven't read the new Hunger Games and now I want to read them all!

where do you buy the uk editions ;-;

I always value your opinions. I know I can always trust you to be honest 😂

Have you read Kim Jiyoung Born 1982 by Cho Namjoo? I read that one as well because Namjoon recommended it and I loved it a lot! 💜

Are Belladonna and Foxglove more heavy on the fantasy or the romance? The synopsis sounds super interesting, but I usually don't like a lot of dark romance books or books that focus too much on how hot and sexy the characters are. And the marketing seems like it's one of those, so I've been hesitating.

Where do you order your UK editions?

could anyone tell me what the books are jw

Favorite: "Iron Widow" (Angry, raw, messy, morally grey MC and a literal love triangle), "Sorcery of Thorns" (the closest to my #1 author, Tamora Pierce's, writing I've found), "The Last Graduate" (THAT. ENDING.), "These Are the Words" (poetry I want to gift my niece when she's older), "Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries" (swoony bickering romance, great winter vibes, Emily is me) Worst: "Empire of the Vampire" (technically DNF'd, but read 500 out of 700 pages), "Better Than Fiction" (I've come to realize I am NOT a romance girlie) Disappointing: "A Lesson in Vengeance" (great vibes, hate the doomed lesbian trope), "Empire of the Vampire" (misogynistic AF society, story felt slow and clogged despite interesting ideas and premise) "The Book of Life" (major conflicts were SUPER rushed, felt like not much happened by the end) Biggest Surprise: "If I Have to be Haunted" (a little rushed and cliched, but the romance was still cute), "I Capture the Castle" (the romances were a little annoying, but the themes and settings were great)

Oh thank god I feel the exact same way that you do about Amina Al-Sirafi

Could someone explain a little bit about the boycot? I tried looking at the instagram link in the description but I’m still a little confused 😅

Chain of Thorns…and Roses

raeliana is profound TO ME. the girls who get it get it (ive reread it 3 times send help) tbf im obsessed with these type of manhwa and raeliana is my favourite cuz it's just so funny
