I would like to take a moment to thank Regan for gushing over the bear and the nightingale so much last year, currently half way through book 3 and in love with the series
Regan!! You have to pick up The Poppy War by RF Kuang. Honestly the best adult fantasy series in a while! You will LOVE! (hopefully 😂) it has a strong political plot, great complicated characters and it’s heavily influenced by the Sino-Japan war!!
I have read 'The Merciful Crow' from your recommendations and I'm in Love.... I'm absolutely heartbroken to know that I have to wait for the next book to come out....I really really Loved it Thank you so much.....This is the second book that I picked up because of you and the first being the 'Shades of Magic' Trilogy and I enjoyed both immensely 😁
I loved Fireborne! I’m a teen librarian and I have told a couple of teachers I think it would be so cool to teach alongside Plato’s Republic - I can just see it generating so much classroom discussion in terms of what governmental philosophy might actually look like in action... and the pros and cons. Anyways, I only picked this up because you liked it and I just adored it, so thank you!
I want to marathon The Bear and The Nightingale trilogy this winter ❄️😍 Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel is so great for Winter. This TV series is also great 😊...
I love seeing Jonathan Strange & Mr Norell around again! It’s a great beast of a book that took me a whole year to read in 2006 but it’s so good. It’s been on my reread for a long time since then but other books have distracted me.
I dont read fantasy but I love listening to ya. Such an eloquent speaker. Do you ever read authors such as Gillian Flynn? Please give my love to Ms. Matilda. 😘
Regan, if you loved the Bear and the Nightingale I highly recommend Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik. I don’t know if you’ve already read it but that book is amazing and also highly inspired by Russian folklore.
Yess! I didn’t know The Lies of Locke Lamora is good for winter and I didn’t plan on picking it up soon, but this video has made me want to pick it up!!
I've been waiting for this video!! I think that was yesterday that I was looking on your channel for the winter recs!! I'm traveling soon so these books are coming with me now haha.
I just finished the Diviners by Libba Bray which I feel could be both Halloween (definitely) but to me there's something about the charismatic atmosphere that I just get sucked into. I always think of going to far off places in winter, whether it's back in time or to a fantasy world. I'm starting Lair of Dreams and can't wait to continue with this series!
also if you’re looking for a more spooky fantasy which is very atmospheric in a cold & blustery winter setting is “House of Salt and Sorrow” by Erin A. Craig. Such a spooky read with lots of great characters and setting!
I bought the Clarke book early this year and haven’t attempted it yet. Maybe this winter will be the time. (I’m one of the few who did not enjoy Bear&theNightingale but I agree it’s definitely an atmospheric read.)
Could you make a video showing your library? You can take a camera and walk around whole house and show every shelf. Not every book, but all the shelfs. The end of 2019 edition :-) It would be very interesting. I just like that kind of vids.
i am currently reading Eragon for the first time. His dark materials the first book i dont know why always reminds me of wintertime. think its the title lol northern lights. on a side note i love your jumper i have a dress inthe same pattern.
Hey Reagan have you started the blinding white? I discovered this serieS thanks to you and it is one of my favorites of all time. Want to hear your thoughts on it.
Oktober Алёшка Емельянов Бывалое солнечным небо скисает, титановым цветом суровя нам взор. По-своему каждый по лету скучает, припомнив веселье, грустинку иль сон. Ссыпаются кроны и парки пустеют, и моросью часто асфальты полны, одеждой и ленью гуляки толстеют под новым покровом сырой пелены. Всё чаще дымятся стаканы в кофейнях, прозрачная холодь тревожит везде, теснеет в автобусах и богадельнях, скудеют газеты на сок новостей. Опять тяжелеют шаги и улыбки, мелькают угрюмость, потерянность лиц, а воздух становится мокрым и липким, и реже встречаются игрища птиц, дома, муравейники дверцы закрыли, всё чаще бежится к семье, очагу. Но солнце глаза ещё не позабыли, лучам подставляют надбровье, щеку. Пейзаж облезает под ливнем-раствором, тускнеет и мажется, вянет гуашь. Тепло покидает октябрьский город, верша из-под крыш сотни, тысячи краж. Пикируют листья и перья, и тени, и брызжет свинцово-холодная высь. С наборами чувств и потерь, обретений до осени мы кое-как добрались ...
@Brown Girl Reads I just found it boring and slow. But then again I'm not used to reading this genre so that probably had something to do with it as well. It is really well written though, so I still recommend you give it a try.
