BEST BOOKS OF 2020! 

The Athena Club books were some of my favorites this year! I read all the Wayward Children books for the first time over Christmas break and they were amazing and also new favorites. I can't wait to read Black Sun and The Wicker King!

I picked up Library of the Unwritten because of your recommendation and it was a great time! Planning on reading the sequel in January!

You’re so pretty Riley and I love your book recommendations. Reading novels is hard for me so I stick to writing and reading poetry more so but I still love hearing your opinions on the stories :3

i read literally every book from this list, mostly because of your recs, and gave every single one four or five stars!! (apart from black sun which i couldn’t read yet because it’s my book club’s feb botm). thank you for helping me discover some new all time favourites like the strange case of the alchemist’s daughter, the year of the witching, the house in the cerulean sea, and the library of the unwritten (which i have already reread in 2021 because it was my perfect book). hope 2021 treats you just as well! oh, and over the woodward wall had a sequel confirmed! it’s going to be a quartet and book two is coming out this year. check goodreads ☺️

You're so passionate when talking about books. I wanna read every recommendation of yours.

So many of these are on my TBR! (because you recommended them 😅)

pls do a makeup book tag for books of 2020!

I am very excited to read Black Sun super soon!

Yes, Wayward Children!! 6 days till Across the Green Grass Fields!

Black Sun also made it into my list! The Year of the Witching, Over the Woodward Wall and The Library of the Unwritten are all books that i need to get to already 😭 AND K. ANCRUM YES!!!!!!!

I think we can all agree that while 2020 was an unfortunate year, we all had our best reading year!

Loved The House in the Cerulean Sea so much! Your review was on point! ♥♥♥

The wicker king was my favourite book of 2020!

I'm reading Black Sun atm and it's SO GOOD! 5-star material!

I have almost read all of these books from your recommendations! The House in the Cerulean Sea was my absolute favorite book of 2020. Also, where did you get your tree lamp thats in the background?

I picked up The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter on your rec. I'm hoping to read it this month!

I feel like I’m the only person who didn’t LOVE black sun 😭

I read The House In The Cerulean Sea because of your reading vlog! And it was definitely my favorite book of the year!! Thanks, Riley! Love your channel. ❤❤

The House in the Cerulean Sea is on my March tbr and i am already so excited for it

🔱 Muse 🔱 Indie Storyteller 🔱 Tarot Card Reader 🔱 Dancer 🌸 I would love it if you read my book too, Riley 🧜🏻‍♀️💓 'Black Jaguar by Rachael Twig' 👁 Based on what you have said about the ones in this video, I really think you might like it.

Riley, question that is not book related, but I need to know the lip, blush, and eye colors you use. Would you mind giving a list? Beautiful palette.

I am looking for friends to improve my English and I am 12 years old, can you help me?

Just started watching, but oh my gosh, you look so cute! Do you happen to remember where you got your dress? So cute 🥺

LOOOVED The Year of the Witching, such good viiibbbes. The Wicker King surprised me so much! I can't wait to read The Weight of the Stars. It's next on my TBR.

Every time a booktuber raves about K Ancrum a queer angel gets their wings. It makes me so happy. 💜

The top book list is fabulous. I'm listening to warm cocoa.

Pure serotonin it's so true I couldn't stop smiling while reading

loved the list. some pf the books seem so interesting. definitely will check them out. thank you for the suggestions. great job

These are some of the prettiest books I’ve ever seen!!! Took a lot of reccs from this too!!!

I feel like 2021 is going to be the year of K. Ancrum for me. When I first heard of her books I was kind of like, meh maybe someday. But the more I hear the more I want to read them, and I think my reading tastes have also shifted a bit so I will like them more now than I would have if I read them when I first heard of them a couple years ago.

I couldnt with the Jack and Jill story, The way the author talks down on pregnancy and so on made me sick. As someone who couldnt carry to term it hit me

i also felt Wayway Children vibes from Over the woodward wall from what i read! i really need to continue it because i’d love to have that in my brain before reading middlegame

Whenever i see your thumbnail, i think it is one of the Merel twins Idk i might be the only one!!

I haven’t read any of these 🙃 let me get on it!

I finished the last book in the Athena Club series today and it was so good!

wow the first sister sounds so interesting, already added to my tbr!

Here for this!!!

I just read the proof for book no.6 of the Wayward Children series and oh my goodness, it was mind blowing. It is set in The Hooflands with Reagan wow it really was spectacular and is my favourite out of the series so far x

Love some of these books!! I am surprised no romances made it!

What you use for thumbnail? So beautiful😍

A romance didn’t make the list! 😮
