So great to see all of your favorite books. For a moment I thought you would just show 15 Robin Hobb books, but I liked to hear about all the different books you've enjoyed. I don't know how it was for you, but when I put the list together and looked through all the books on Goodreads, it was really like doing a little bit of a time travel back through the year, cause I was always reminded of in which situation I was, when I read each book.

Holy shit that dragon art is AMAZING! Also I so agree with the Bleak House love - it is magnificent and complex and clever and I loved it.

Great list Samantha! You made me realize I need to listen to the Fuzzy Nation audiobook this month. Mad Ship and Fool's Fate so good!

The Mark of Athena! And The Raven Boys! Love those books so much

I may have to check out that Dickens novel (BLEAK HOUSE?) for the spontaneous combustion alone--when I was a child I had a real fear of spontaneously combusting. That and being attacked by killer bees. Perhaps I'll try a Robin Hobb book this year since I've never read one. Great video! ^_^

This year I'm definitely going to dive into Dickens and the Ryiria chronicles. Deeefinitely. Great list :) have a very happy new year Sam 😺

Happy new year! Love your list - such fantastic books on it

great list! there are a few that I want to get to in 2016 :) Dream Thieves was also my favorite of the three that are out! love it!! happy new year Sam!

Bleak House is my favorite Dickens book... but i haven't read Pickwick Papers yet! I grew up with Emily of new moon when I was a child. Books 2 and 3 are great too! Happy new year!

I'm so so happy to see Lirael on your list :) I loved that book too! I have Uprooted on my list to read for 2016, as well as Michael J. Sullivan and Prince of Mist :)

oh my gosh you are a reader after my own heart. Many of the books I love are in your list and your love for Robin Hobb had me sold. I had! to subscribe. Can't wait for us to be bookish friends. Great video!

Omg I grew up reading Emily of New Moon and other LM Montgomery, I'm so glad it made your list! Also yes you just reminded me to pick up Fuzzy Nation since you recommended it to me hehe

The Dream Thieves is my favorite Raven Cycle book so far. I love that one! My favorite book of 2015 was The Accident Season! Great list of books.

Happy New Year Sam! I've wanted to read Chew for so long! It sounds so interesting!!! I was waiting till you would bring up Robin Hobb ;) Uprooted sounds really cool! I definitely hope I find a copy of it!

Loving all the "You've convinced me to read Robin Hobb" comments. xD

Ok. I've never heard of Emily of New Moon, but that sounds right up my alley. Adding that to my TBR right away! Great list!

OMG!!!! I can't believe you said spontaneous combustion!!! Growing up, I had this crazy secret fear of this happening to me... My children tease me about it to this day! I was probably in 4th or 5th grade when I heard of the phenomenon, and spent about 5-6 years wondering if what I was doing could cause me to burst into flames! hahaha... I actually just bought a great copy of Bleak House this past weekend. I will now move it higher up my TBR! Great video!

great top 15 I guessed that your number one book would be robbin hobb lol. I'm going to start reading robin hobb this year! Love your videos

You're right. I was not surprised by the Robin Hobb book on number 1, haha! I really want to read a book by John Scalzi, because I don't read sci-fi but I know I'd love it so much.

I was very surprised by your list. I thought you would have 15 Robin Hobb books. Many of the books sounded interesting and my reading list for 2016 is growing. Happy New Years! Wishing you the best year ever in 2016!

Great selection! I HAVE to read fool's fate now.

I loved The Screwtape Letters. I already want to read it again. I have to check out John Scalzi this year, I have Redshirts on my shelf just waiting for me! I had Uprooted from the library but I had to bring it back before I got around to it. Hopefully I'll get around to it soon (although I put myself on a library ban for the next while, so we'll see).

You read a lot of amazing books. I own some of the books in your list. I need to get my self to reading them. Hoping to get through them this year. I am really looking forward to reading Uprooted been hearing a lot of good thing about it. Lol your year was of Robin Hobb and my year was the year of Brandon Sanderson. I read so many of his books 2015 year.

I really love the Screwtape Letters. Seeing you talk about Robin Hobb so much makes me want to pick up some of her books but I don't know where to start.

I love this time of year on Booktube as well! Sounds like you had a great reading year, here's to 2016 :D

Uprooted sounds sooo good. I guess I need to finally read some Robin Hobb this year. :) My favorite book from 2015 would be Mistborn. I love Brandon Sanderson like you love Robin Hobb and I can't wait to read all of his books this year, which is one of my goals.

Currently reading Uprooted right now! loving it sooo so much!

I have the first 3 books of The Raven Boys and I am starting the first book this month! I'm excited :D

In search of the lost dragons looks absolutely gorgeous :o I need it!!

The Daughter Of Smoke And Bone trilogy were 3 of my favourite books last year. I've technically just started the 3rd so that's going to be my first read of 2016 (shh). But these books were very whimsical and enchanting for me.

Rereading Mark of Athena now by audiobook. It's my boyfriend's first time reading it and we both love it right now.

Ok, I'll read some Robin Hobb this year!

In Search of Lost Dragons, The Screwtape Letters, Uprooted, and Fuzzy Nation are now on my TBR list. Fuzzy Nation has to be one of the best book names ever! ;)

OMG I neeeed to check out Emily of New Moon! But it's gonna be tough because I'm doing the Read Harder Challenge and there's not much room for extras. Oh, well. Love finds a way. Haha!

I own 'The Prince of Mist' it's a pretty short book I need to pick it up already.

The Dream Thieves was a favorite for this year, but I also really loved Since You've Been Gone, by Morgan Matson :)

MARK OF ATHENA YES

I have Uprooted sitting next to me and now it's been bumped up and I'll probably read it next!!

Great video, my favourite book of 2015 was the Martian :)

Watching this video I just put this John Scalzi in my wishlist ! It sounds really cool ! As for the top 2 they are most deserved ^^ My personal top 3 book of 2015 would probably go to : 3- Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix, it was a re-read and I think it's now my fav of the 7 books somehow. 2- A lesson before dying by Ernest J Gaines 1- The mad ship by you know who ;) I realise now that I've only read the liveship traider trilogy this year, tawny man was of 2014 and the farseer trilogy in 2013.... Yes, I didn't do things in order and I only realised by reading the liveship trilogy that it was a issue lol. OH WELLm IT WILL NEED A REREAD SOON. DAMN. Anyway, have a very happy new year !

If you liked Prince of Mist, you will absolutely love The Shadow of the Wind by Zafon. It's a beautiful, lyrical, hypnotic read, and is one of my favorite books of all time.

I feel like, based on my extreme love of the Anne series, I should pick up some other stuff by L.M. Montgomery soon. Perhaps I shall start with Emily. And Screwtape is incredible. One of my favorite Lewis books. My favorite book of the year was Peace Like a River by Leif Enger. Read it in February and I still can't get over how lovely it was.

So I guess I need to check out Robin Hobb this year? At Christmas dinner my dad was telling me how the library had suggested a Robin Hobb book to him as 'good for fans of A Song of Ice and Fire,' which is his favorite. So he got it and said he was so confused that it must have been a book in the middle of a series and he'd missed the first book. He didn't remember the title, other than it didn't have the word Fool in it (lol). I was like 'yeah my friend read all those books this year and they are all series within series!'

fuzzy nation made it to my top list too! :) and i really need to get to uprooted!

I was super excited to watch your top books of this year :) I think if I had to choose one favourite it would probably be Mad Ship or Assassin's Apprentice or Royal Assassin... Hahaha, yeah, it's all your fault! Robin Hobb for queen of the universe *-*

Have you watched I-zombie? Though about it when you were talking about chew. Also. I love David Tennant. Still my favorite You mentioned it is awesome when and author evokes emotion...THAT IS WHY WE READ!! I love when I can angry, sad, and delirious happy for our main characters in books. Its the best. I need to read Uprooted! I own it...but I need to read it. I was not surprised about your number one!

royal assasing cover look amazing . i hope its a really great book

I read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings for the first time this year. Those are my favorite books of the year by far! 2016 looks to be the year when I pick up Robin Hobb :)

Definitely The Martian by Andy Weir it was so funny (sometimes a little complicated with the science but Andy made it a little easier). You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) by Felicia Day thus book was such an inspiration and I know I will definitely reread this sometime soon. As You Wish by Cary Elwes it always made me want to watch The Princess Bride I love Cary so much!

So many amazing books!!! 😊 I loved Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, Sister's Fate by Jessica Spotswood, An Amber in the Ashes by Sabaaa Tahir an the first three books in the Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. My Top 6 would be Dreams of Gods and Monsters by Laini Taylor, The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss, Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson, Carry On by Rainbow Rowell, Red Rising by Pierce Brown and Golden Boy by Abigail Trattelin... In the Search of Lost Dragons looks sooo gorgeous!!! 😊 😍 Never heard of Srewtape Letters, but it sounds utterly brillant!!!

You definitly need to check out all of Záfon's books - they are all so awesome! One of the best books thar i have read on 2015 was Widow For 1 Year by Jonh Irving. All the best on 2016 to you.

The Old Kingdom series (Abhorsen) has a new book called Clariel. You might want to check it out, also there is a short story collection called Across the Wall.

I read Sabriel ages ago but never got Lirael, now I know it is that good I definitely need to read it 😀

My top two favorite books of 2015 are The Fifth Heart by Dan Simmons, and Searching For Always by Jennifer Probst.

OMG YAY FUZZY NATION!!! I DIDNT REALIZED YOU LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Have you read anything by Brandon Sanderson?

I just want to read all the books :)

Only 3 Robin Hobb books?! I thought you would've had at least 10 on this list :p Of the books I read in 2015, that you didn't have on your list, I have to mention The Girl With All The Gifts by M.R. Carey, The Princess Bride by William Goldman, and my all time favourite (so far at least) Sherlock Holmes book: The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I don't remember if it was Virtual Light or Idoru by William Gibson that I liked the most in the Bridge Trilogy so let's say that whole trilogy! And Percy Jackson And The Olympians. The whole series because I don't remember which book I liked the most (that's the problem with reading 5 books in 6 days and the reason why it wasn't 5 books in 5 days was because I read In Search of Lost Dragons and The Legend of Zelda A Link To The Past in those days too).

oh, please, please, please do a video of the fitz and fool trilogy... I love ROBIN HOBB sooo much!!! if you didn't read it yet... be careful, there are so many feels T.T

I believe Robin Williams was suppose to be the main character which really depressed me. Because based on this plot I think he would have been perfect for it.

are you a good reader?

My favourite book of 2015 was the Hobbit

Pausing the video to guess that the top two are Robin Hobb books.

Loved Fuzzy Nation! So want to read a sequel to that ;-D
