Thank you for giving me 24 fantastic books 📚 to read this year not that my tbr list is already that long lol 😂

Everyone's reading the same old stuff, but if you want to stand out, go for the forbidden fruit - Whispers of Manifestation. It's a game-changer, and trust me, you'll thank me for pointing you in that direction

ahhhh unwind!! had to read the first one for english in high school ages ago but it blew my 15 year old self’s mind and i ended up following through the whole series that had been publish up to then and would also love to revisit it this year. there’s some scenes i still remember to this day and think about often. this was what got me into shusterman’s books, i hope you end up loving it as much as i remember loving it!

THE MIRACLES OF THE NAMIYA GENERAL STORE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES AHHH so happy to see you putting it on this list! so magical, warm, and heart wrenching but also funny??? it's a great time and i'm always recommending it so it may have been me to put it on your list years ago lol i can't remember. i hope you enjoy it as much as me (and my mom) did haha!

@abigailsosa4352 4 ай бұрын

I gave The Bear and the Nightingale 3 stars and was really debating continuing with the series. But I decided to continue with it anyway and it is now one of my all-time favorite series ever! It’s truly a wonderful series with such an inspiring female protagonist and a beautiful, enriched world. If you don’t like the first book, I still highly recommend you to continue with book 2! 🫶🏼

@amberdawn5372 4 ай бұрын

So excited to see His Dark Materials on the list! Probably my all-time favorite series and a genuine masterpiece in YA fantasy. Really interested to hear your thoughts on Unwind too. I put it on my tbr YEARS ago (close to when it released) and just never got around to it before it just got pushed so far down by newer books. Looking forward to seeing if I should bump it back up.

OMG! The Miracles of the Namiya General Store ❤️ I really love this book. It made me cry maybe because I'm not in a very good state at that time and it kind of understood what I'm feeling. Especially that particular scene almost at the end. I watched the movie (Japanese ver.) and cried, too. And seeing it in your TBR makes me excited to share your thoughts about the book. ☺️

@Lofi_Vibes444 4 ай бұрын

I read a single book and I think my tbr will become smaller, but then Hannah uploads and 20 books are added 🫠 Lovely list btw. Also, I think that you are gonna love "The Golem and The Jinni", it is one of my favourite books. It is really slow but character driven and the magic system is interesting. One more that I don't see often mentioned on booktube is "The Girl who Fell Beneath the Sea". It has studio Ghibli vibes (mostly Spirited Away). I think you'll like it (I firstly fell in love with the cover, then the story drew me in, I finished it in two days). I hope you have a great reading year!!

@Lexx9890 4 ай бұрын

You know our tastes align when 10+ of the books you mentioned aligned with my own TBR 😂 I read Once Upon a Broken Heart and The Ballad of Never After just last week and I'll be reading the last book soon as well. I've also been looking for an excuse to push Sword Catcher, Poppy War, and the Legendborn series on my priority reads this year and you just gave me one! Looking forward to reading along with you this year

loved all all all your picks, but I'm highly antecipating your the host reread and deep dive. like you, I was on the host train even after the twilight train has passed for me and even now I'm attached to a lot about it, but I haven't read it in a while, so I worry jsdkskks maybe I'll reread too to align to your video

I read Half a Soul last year because a commenter from one of your videos said they loved it, and personally I really loved it too. It was so good that when it ended I was devastated it wasn't a series (not in an it-felt-unfinished way, more in an i-dont-wanna-stop-reading-about-these-characters way). Loooved the main characters and their banter is top-notch. I look forward to knowing your thoughts about it soon 🥰

the bear and the nightingale was such a fun series! i read it a couple of years ago during the winter season and the vibes were just immaculate. it’s one of those series that’s very atmospheric, so reading it during chilly/wintery weather really adds to the experience and enjoyment ☺️

omg HECK YES, The Unwind Dystology. I love this series so much. I adore it. This was definitely a formative read for me as a teen, made me love dystopias and fundamentally shaped my reading tastes to this day. And it’s still my like gold standard for dystopias. I‘m so excited for you reading it, I’m so starved for conversation about it. This is the book series that I‘ve been (unsuccessfully) trying to convince people to read for years and also the book series that I‘ve picked beef with the german publisher over (it’s a petty feud on my part, nothing else, but it fuels me).

I've read a few of the books on your list and I think it's a pretty darn solid list. However, I'm really excited for you (and others) to read "What My Bones Know". I really appreciate the way Stephanie Foo examines her life and her trauma. Also, if you end up doing the audiobook version, Foo includes recordings of her actual therapy sessions.

@Sarah-ti3yr 4 ай бұрын

The Invisible Library Series is fantastic! Great vibes throughout all the book. Its one of those books-about-books kind of stories und also plays with a lot of tropes. It's very comfy since it about books, while also having a lot of action, sci-fi-fantasy and mystery elements. There is probably something in this series for everyone.

@ap4558 4 ай бұрын

Since everyone is making their TBR lists for the year, don't forget to give indie authors a chance! One indie book I really enjoyed last year was Earth: Game of the Year Edition by Robert Carnevale. It's fantasy/sci-fi with some romance and kickass action.

Unwind is so so good! So glad you’re gonna read it! I absolutely adore how Neal Shusterman combines politics with religion and trust me there’s a lot of both in this book. I listened to the audiobook but sadly didn’t read the the others just because I didn’t have the time so I might do that this year!

I also have to reread the Darker Shades of Magic before reading her new one! It’s been so long. Also I really recommend The Book That Wouldn’t Burn by Mark Lawrence. I can’t possibly describe it but you really can’t go wrong with stories about libraries so large that they contain worlds. The second book comes out this year and I cannot wait.

OMG! I loveeeeee the Miracles of Namiya General Store. I read it in the last months of 2023 and fell in love with it. This book is unlike anything I've ever read. It has such incredibly magical and enchanting vibes while being meaningful and engaging. I feel that a lot of cosy books (fantasy, mystery and otherwise) tend to be a lot of fluff without much substance but this is such a unique premise, creative storytelling and heartwarming characters that I was and am still captivated by it. It's one of my absolute favourite books of all time (the list is pretty long). Even just thinking about it brings a smile to my face. It's an absolute treasure of a book!

The Bear and the Nightingale is one of my favorites! Just keep in mind that the first book is by far the slowest. I personally loved especially this about it, but I guess for some book 2 and 3 that pick up pace are better. So don't give up on it, if you have difficulties getting into book 1
