Tanya Markova woah. The Cursed Child was absolutely TERRIBLE. I regret reading it and wish it hadn't been written. I've never hated a book until I read that one lol funny how different our opinions are
Tanya Markova I didn't really think it was complicated nor do I generally hate books because of plot twists. I have alot to say about the reasons I hate it, but I think if anyone is interested in reading it they should go into it and make their own conclusions (:
*series’ included in the video:* 10) heroes of olympus 9) hunger games 8) mortal instruments 7) the daughter of smoke and bone 6) the raven cycle 5) the misborne trilogy 4) the saga comics 3) the six of crows 2) the infernal devices 1) harry potter
*brings up Percy Jackson books* FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS ME! To this day I also still love it. I am currently reading the Heroes of Olympus Series. Its great! In my opinion
@@natnuss98 man you're about to be thrilled after the Percy Jackson series, he has 2 more greek myth series (Heroes of Olympus and Trials of Apollo) and then he has a norse myth which does overlap with his greek myth stories called Magnus Chase, i believe
As former librarian I can decide! My conclusion is that she is utterly insane! Thought to be fair my own bookshelf isn't organized at all and it's just a mess.. But that's not the point here!
Teemies it looks beautiful! But if the books have different themes it would annoy me... let’s say one is a historical fiction about a struggling man and the one next to it is about a 15 year old girl who falls in love with a hot werewolf guy. That would throw me off lol, then I wouldn’t know where to look to find what. Better to sort them according to genre/theme.
I know nobody cares, but these are my top 5 favorite series! 5: Warriors by Erin Hunter 4: Harry Potter by J.K Rowling 3: Game of Thrones (books) by George R. R. Martin 2: Rick R. Books: includes Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Trials of Apollo, Heroes of Olympus 1: Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas
"A great female protaganist who doesn't annoy me, which is rare" YES, this. This. I was forever being laughed at by my fellow book group members for my intense rages and epic rants on the subject of weak or helpless or stupid female characters. I have NO patience for them.
The Bookworm Ninja I know right! Percy Jackson has a mix of comedy and inspirations. Its one of those books that make you reflect and think of life and all that stuff. But its also the type of book filled with amazing, very likable and hillarious characters!
Mockingjay ruined the hunger games for me. It was really long and pretty unneeded in my opinion. The last 1/4 of mockingjay was so good but the first 3/4 was very boring. However I love the first 2 books and the series in general
Real talk here: I love Harry Potter, I always have and I always will.. BUT.. I don’t consider Cursed Child as part of the series, it just read like a bad fan fiction and I like to pretend it doesn’t exist. Also, I do NOT appreciate JK Rowling adding things to the series after it’s been published. Ex. Dumbledore is gay, Anthony Goldstein is Jewish, etc. I understand authorial intent, but in my mind, the first seven books are canon. That’s it. Not the random things JK Rowling spits out on Twitter after the fact to seem more inclusive. I like Harry Potter, and by that I mean the seven original books. Nothing more, nothing less. That was very rambley I apologize. It’s 2am I should be sleeping. Not writing book reviews...
Exactly same opinion! but one teeny bit tweek, Dumbledore being gay was told by her during the reign of the first 7 books. She actually made the producers change the script of Half Blood Prince a bit, coz Dumbledore was gay. Because that's how Grindelwald makes so much sense to us.
J.K. Rowling did mention that she's always known that Dumbledore was gay but there wasn't a reason to bring it up. Same with prof. McGonagal's past. But then they had to change the HP movie script because it had Dumbledore flirting with a woman or something of the likes, and J.K. Rowling then said that he is gay.
God, I cannot explain my love for Six of Crows. I am so mad that it was only two books. I absolutely adore books with huge casts of characters, and plan to give my daughter the middle name Inej.
@@evxnshi2309 I mean, you could go either way. Personally, I did, and it made more sense to me that way, but you could theoretically read them as stand alones. I didn't love the Grisha trilogy like I loved Six of Crows, but they're decent books. Ultimately your decision.
Evanshi Mavani I’ve never read the other books in the grishaverse, only six of crows and crooked kingdom. I was able to understand everything just fine in the duology! Some people have told me that some of the lore of the books is explored in the Grisha trilogy, but I personally was okay without it! Hope you enjoy it!
Haley Jones ikr my friend just recently started reading the book, and she’s like oh I love Jace so so so much, and I’m like Jace ain’t anything great. Wait till you meet will
I share the same sentiment on Harry Potter. I'm forever grateful to J.K. Rowling for coming up with the story and never giving up hope in getting it published. ❤
One of my all time favourite series is ‘Lemony Snicket’s A Series Of Unfortunate Events’. The books only get beat by ‘Harry Potter’ because... obviously. I saw the movie first and fell in love with the characters and just wished there had been more story, then I found out there were books. I read all 13 in the span of 6 days and oh my god. They were so good. The plot is unique and I think it’s a really good mix of mystery, suspense, and sadness. It had the best ending in a book ever and like I said is only beat by Harry Potter....
17:25 "How does one explain their love for Harry Potter without crying!!!" Thank you....for finally putting in words the exact thing I have thought in my entire life..❤❤
PJO is the reason I got into reading as well! And it was what got me more interesting in Greek mythology I've read both series twice they're my favorite
Haha, I actually thought that your channel was named after Clockwork Orange, but I totally agree with your opinion on the The Infernal Devices. I've always disliked the lovetriangles and found them really overdramatic and pointless. But the lovetriangle in Infernal Devices was somehow...special. Maybe it was because I deeply cared about all the characters in it. Needless to say, it broke my heart. But then again, only the best books do.
I am 13 and Harry Potter is literally my whole life! I began when I was 9 and I was immediately hooked! I now have read them 7 times, have Gryffindor plastered all over my walls with posters, 2 sets of Harry Potter shelves, buy everything Harry Potter I see and live and breathe the story. _Always_
the infernal devices is probably my favourite series! the last book made me cry so much throughout and the storyline is so gripping. definitely my favourite shadowhunter series!
Im a person who absolutely despise love triangles - I can't stand them and I get so annoyed, but in the Infernal Devices I was just so, so invested in the characters and their relationships and it is litterally the only love triangle I have read about (so far) that I actually like!
I actually never knew "Percy Jackson" series existed until almost 2 years ago which isn't a long time , since I loved reading books and still do , my cousin recommended these series to me and believe me it was love at first page (lol) for . And after watching this video i was quite glad because Finally I found a RU-vidr who likes the "Percy Jackson" series, it has come to my attention after observing that mostly people don't know that "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series exist which makes me disappointed because its an ultimate masterpiece .
Really? Lots of booktubers i know are aware of it. Some awesome booktube to check out: Jessethereader Chandler Ainsley Hailey in bookland Obviously Hannah (this channel) & soooo many more
Our Harry Potter reading experiences are so similar! I watched the first 7 movies before reading the books. I read them when I was 12 or 13. I read the first one, and a few months later I got the box set for Christmas. I read books 2-7 in six days.
A Clockwork Reader I too watched all the movies before I read the books... and by read I mean listened to the audiobooks read by the infamous Jim Dale. Listening to Jim Dale is just perfection.
I started reading the books last year (when I was 15) and I fell in love straight away. Then I watched the movies. I was told by a lot of people to watch the movies after I finished the books. I'm glad I'm a fast reader so it didn't take me long to read the books
That's what happened with me too 😭I read them at 12/13 after hearing everyone talk about it, and after watching the movies, and became obsessed with them.
I’m 14 so I love how you always advise the younger readers about stuff. Not all booktubers do that so sometimes I end up reading stuff I wasn’t prepared for
my top ten has to be! ( in no particular order ) the grisha trilogy the six of crows duology the villains duology percy jackson magnus chase harry potter a series of unfortunate events the stormlight archives ( havent completed ) the winternight trilogy ( haven’t completed the shadowhunters universe
@@skzstaybtsbulletprooftoget3693 you'll be fine if you read only the Infernal Devices trilogy, since if Shadowhunters series will be arranged chronologically, Infernal Devices should be read first 😍 Enjoy your read 😊 Will you tell me later on of your opinion of it, once you're done reading? Thank you so much 🥰
The Percy Jackson series is what made me fall in love with reading when I was young. My one regret about them is that I read them around the time of the Harry Potter hype at my school so I've only gotten around to reading them recently. I also love the "Mortal Instruments" series it was my first bout of real binge reading as I read the entire series in a little over a week
My favorite series and books: 10) Harry Potter 9The Maze Runner 8) The Mortal instruments 7) The Dark Artifacts 6) One of us is lying 5) 13 minuets 4) Pride and prejudice 3) Divergent 2) the infernal devices 1) A courts of thorns and roses 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I'm so glad it says divergent because there's mostly a love-hate relationship between Divergent lovers and Hunger games fans. I personally love it, the characters are awesome and everything and i don't understand how so many people seem to hate it.
TID, Six of Crows, and HP are easily in my top three as well. I also really love A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab. The last one isn't out yet so it doesn't quite meet the qualifications you used for this video, but I still count it personally. The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer also stands out to me as does Bloodlines by Richelle Mead. Honestly, I could go on and on about series that I love but these are the ones I usually recommend to people.
Ren Cardale I own the first two Shades of Magic books but I haven't read them yet! And I've been meaning to get to the Lunar Chronicles as well! Hopefully I end up enjoying them both 😊😊
The Percy Jackson series was the first series I ever read, and since then, I never could imagine living without books to read. Harry potter also still gives me that unexplainable vibe whenever I think of it, but PJO and HP are definitely my top 2!
You should read The Giver series. It's absolute perfection; the writing is great, the plot is wonderful, etc. All 4 books revolve around different characters but they all interlock beautifully at the end. PLEASE read them!
This is my list of all time favorite book series 1 🐬 The Ascendence Trilogy by Jennifer A. Nielsen I loved reading this series in Jr. High, and there wasn’t a whole lot of people that were reading them. When I read them, I just loved the characters, and I could really relate to Jaron in so many ways. My mom loved these books when I read them to her. 2 🚃 The Boxcar Children Series by Gertrude Chandler Warner I read this series throughout the time in Elementary school, and every time I couldn’t find a good book. I would read a book in The Boxcar Children series, and it’s a great introduction to mystery novels to younger kids. 3 🌻 Anne Of Green Gables book series by L.M Montgomery The quirky narrative, the love-able main character ( Anne Shirley Cuthbert), and the mischievous, adventurous character ( Gilbert Blythe). I’m not finished with it yet, but I still enjoy the ones I’ve read ( so far). 4 🦁 The Chronicles Of Narnia by C. S Lewis When I was younger, my parents read this book series to me, I loved watching the movies. I dressed up as Lucy Pevensie for Halloween when I was 7 years old, and I named by cat after Aslan because of the books. I loved the books and let’s be honest we’ve all looked in our closets for Narnia because we want to live there. 5 ⛄️ The Fudge-A-Mania series by Judy Blume ( I. E. Tales of Fourth Grade Nothing, Fudge A Mania, Double Fudge, Superfudge). My sister read these books and I got hooked on them when I read them. The character Farley Drexel Hatchel reminded me of my brother and it earned him the nickname that the main character Peter calls his younger brother Fudge. 6 📚 Inkheart series by Cornelia Funke I really love fairytales, and I love fantasy novels. I loved how unique this series is, writing about a character that can bring out a character that they read in a story, the way it’s done, is awesome. 7 🏘 Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children series by Ransom Riggs The mystery, the time traveling, characters with powers, creative villains, this is all their in Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children Book series. It’s definitely a goth-ish fantasy book series but it’s recommended to everyone who loves old school Tim Burton movies ( Edward Scissorhands, Batman, Beetlejuice, Ed Wood, The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Big Fish). 8 ⭐️ The Ramona Quimby Book series by Beverly Clearly I’m positive that just about every girl ( young or old) can relate to this book series, about Ramona Quimby, and her eccentric family, as well as her neighborhood. There were a numerous amount of ways that I was similar to Ramona Quimby, ( especially when I was younger). This one definitely highlights relationships between sisters like how the Fudge A Mania series highlights that with brothers. Those who want an enjoyable read this is recommended. 9 🦋 The Time Quintet Series by Madeline L’Engle ( A Wrinkle In Time, A Wind In The Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, forgot the others since I’m not finished with it yet). There are many ways how I’m like Meg, I punched a girl who bullied me, twisted a girl’s nose for saying rude things to my face about my brother and my mom, and punched a boy for being a jerk, those things I did when I was in Elementary School. I wasn’t in the gifted and talented program like my siblings were, I sucked at math, and those around me ( classmates) were telling me how stupid and ugly I am. I also could really relate to Meg’s struggles in the 1st 2 books, and I loved the ones I’ve read so far. I also love Charles Wallace, he’s just the sweetest character, and I hope that someday there are incredible filmmakers who will do the book justice like how Peter Jackson did with The Lord of the Rings series. 10 🎂 The Harry Potter Series by J.K Rowling It’s extremely hard to place all of my all time favorite book series, because of how much I loved them, devouring them, and enjoying them as a whole. I read the Harry Potter Series when I was 13 years old, it was the last year for A.R for me, and I really wanted to get 300 A.R points just so I could go to 6 Flags. I accomplished that goal, and this series lent a helping hand. I loved the magical feel of this series, the characters, especially reading how much they grow. I also loved the movies, I remember dressing up as Luna Lovegood for movie character day at my school. 11 💍 The Lord Of The Rings Book Series by J.R.R Tolkien I bought these books at a bargain book store for $0.25, and I also grew up watching the movie adaptations of these novels. This series helped create some of the greatest novels ever written, and I also love the unique magical characters that this series has to offer. I remember watching the show Sherlock and when Martin Freeman was on screen I wanted to shout, “ Bilbo Baggins!” But I couldn’t because I was surrounded by my classmates. I also couldn’t forget Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins and the hilarious characters Merry and Pippin. My cousin saw the Hobbit movies and we called my sister a Hobbit a couple of times. There were many wonderful memories from the books and from the movies. 12 🎩 Mark Of The Thief Trilogy by Jennifer A. Nielsen I’m not done with this trilogy yet, but from what I’ve read so far, I really enjoy it so far. I’m hoping to find the last book so that I can finish it. But the author is my favorite author because of The Ascendence Trilogy, this trilogy, and the novel A Night Divided. I love how she writes her books, and how unique the stories are that she writes.
My list of favourites that you NEED to read!! 1. Mortal Engines (Philip Reeve) 2. The Hobbit (J.R.R Tolkien) 3. The Lord Of The Rings (J.R.R Tolkien) 4. Harry Potter (J.K Rowling) 5. Fantastic Beasts (J.K Rowling) 6. A Series Of Unfortunate Events (Lemony Snicket) 7. Max (Jennifer Li Shotz) 8. Totally Joe (James Howe)
I love the Raven Cycle from the first book. Probably goes down to my all time favourite series (and Adam and Ronan go down as one of my favourite couples). I'm so excited for Ronan's spin off series since he's my favourite character.
Tasha Paula gotta love Ronan♡ he's also my favorite although I do love gansey a lot too. currently reading the second book (just started reading the series)
one of my all time favourite book series is His dark materials. i actually don't know many people who've read it though i believe it's pretty popular? just an incredible world and the story is just so interesting
I used to be, too, until I started making lists of series to finish. Like I picked 6 for this year (2016) and so far I've finished 3 completely and am close to the others plus some I didn't plan on. If it's really daunting, maybe just focus on one you really want to read and try to finish it.
GO PERCY JACKSON YASS!!!! Oh btw if you've finished Percy Jackson read The Heroes of Olympus. It's a continuation of Percy Jackson with your favorite characters and a bunch of fun new ones on an amazing quest to save the world from the gods who are utterly helpless!!!! :D only Percy Jackson fans will understand the last part
Yes! Have/are you going/have read The Kane Chronicles? It takes place in the same world as those books but it's about Egyptian mythology! Also Magnus Chase which is about Norse mythology
@Grannyskydivingguru as she said, she loved the series for how character driven they are. The plot isn't the most important part of the books, just like the gods aren't the most important part to the Characters. They are send to quests by their parents but what matters is camp half-blood. It's about Grover and Annabeth about Percy, Chiron about Nico and so many others, I mean damn you even get to feel pitty for Clarisse. The Plot is repetitive no question. But it kinda doesn't matter if you can just experience the characters interacting with each other. It's about their backgrounds and how they handle the world in their way, it's never about how the world actually is. But I do understand that you could dislike it if you are more keen to plot driven stories.
My experience with the Harry Potter books was similar to you, but instead of being a 12 year old female, i was a 24 year old male. It's a series packed full of immersion and good feelings.
*Have you already read the Magnus Chase trilogy tho?* you can really see Rick Riordan's improvement of writing from the Percy Jackson series to this! oh, and the the name of the first chapter would really hook you to reading it.
I also watched first the harry potter movies before reading the books mainly because I'm still a kid when I watched the movie and I'm not into reading that time. Then I read Percy Jackson, that made me get into reading! That series is bomb and the way it was written is really interesting that you will crave more to read the next books. Now, after several years, I am now starting to read Harry Potter. And I can't wait to read more series book from this video! Thanks Hannah for making me keep reading! Your videos are so entertaining to watch and it really get me hooked in reading! ❤
Hi, do you know if I have to read the Egyptian series to understand Magnus . I know Magnus is basically other story but its somehow connected since he is a cousin of Annabeth but does she make references to the magicians and that stuff?
No, they are all mostly separate series except for the Olympians ones but I do think he's going to try and connect all the books in a series of some sort down the road. Honestly Annabeth is hardly at all in the book to begin with.
Percy Jackson is what got me really into reading, I remember completely hating everything about reading before it and how after reading the series I refused to read anything else for a while.
@@jeonsol6732 you HAVE to read harry potter, it changed my vision of literature... When, and if, you become a potter head it's like the wizarding world is real.
I think you should read manga if you want. If you want to read a manga that will break your heart at how sad it is but is still funny and lighthearted at some parts you should read Fruits Basket. If you want to read an action or fantasy manga you should read Fullmetal Alchemist. If you want to read twisted and dark mangas with mystery in it you should read Death Note or Black Butler. There is way more but these are my favorite ones.
Gabriela Membreno the fruits basket is just, I can't. I love it sooo much, my first manga,😍❤❤. And black butler so great, death note so fascinating and great thriller anime too.
Try 20th Century Boys too, it's a very good manga series about a bunch of kids grew up to adulthood only to find someone from their childhood grew up to be a cult leader who wanted to end the world. Alice 19th by Watase Yuu although perhaps not that into mainstream is good too, it's about an older sister went into war with her younger sister over jealousy and it involves some magic priesthood that can use words as their powers. It's a metaphor of how our words have the power to build or destroy someone who received the words we said. Even honestly, Naruto is very very verryyy good-I know the series is pretty long, but if you've ever experienced bullying, loneliness, abandonment etc but still strive to break this evil cycle on people around you, you'll relate so much. So much feels :) Try Master Cooking Boy too, there's so much heartfelt struggle and foe-to-friendship building involved. So much feels too :) There's lots more than these too!
I love all of Rick Riordan's books and have been reading them since I was 9 (I'm 15 now), and the heroes of olympus was the first series where I had to wait for books to come out. They're pretty special to me, so I love that you love them as well 😊
The Infernal Devices, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Series of Unfortunate Events, and the Sisters Grimm all bring back such wonderful nostalgia from my childhood 😌🥰 These books really made me into a reader
Omg you need to read The Scythe series, By Neal Shusterman (3 books, Scythe, Thunderhead, and Toll) it is soooo sooo good, it reminds me somewhat of the hunger games, but not at the same time. It has lots of action, suspense, and crazy plot twists!!! It’s a great series and I really recommend it!!🥰
Courtney Ward O Never finished them as a kid, they just dragged in, you know? The only reason there were 13 chapters and 13 books was because 13 is 'unlucky'. I got to about book 7 and just gave up.
I just had to put it out there, you're one of my favorite, if not my favorite, booktuber! A lot of booktubers I just can't relate to or they have different expectations for books but watching your videos is you saying something then me screaming into my laptop "OMG THATS SO TRUE! I FELT THE SAME WAY!"
Hi, I’m eleven years old and I recommend a book called The Girl Of Ink And Stars by Kiran Millwood Hargrave. It’s about this girl called Isabella who lives on the island Joya. The town that Isabella lives in is under the rule of a strict governor. The townspeople aren’t allowed to go into the forest surrounding the town. Nobody in the town has seen the rest of the island for decades. I really enjoyed it: it’s such a beautiful book.
Let me just say that I'm so happy Mistborn is on this list. I just finished the last book 20 minutes ago, and I still can't get over everything 🥺 Brandon Sanderson is definitely one of the best high fantasy writers out there and I can't wait to read more of his works...
Love Harry Potter (I read it when I was 12, too!) &The Hunger Games. I also really liked The Infernal Devices. Had a hard time getting into the other series but I might try again one day. Need to finish or read most of the others you've mentioned. My husband really wants me to read the Mistborn series. Some of my favorites will always be the Dollanganger & Casteel series by V.C. Andrews (though they are seriously twisted), and the Bill Hodges trilogy by Stephen King, a new favorite.
What you should read: 1. Bartimaeus - Jonathan Stroud 2. The magicians - Lev Grossman 3. His dark materials - Philip Pullman 4. The no.1 ladies detective agency - Alexander McCall Smith 5. Sandman - Neil Gaiman
I think you're one of the only youtubers where I can watch your videos over and over and not get tired of them. I love how excited you get when you talk about the books you love, it genuinely makes me happy and makes me want to read more, which is always a good thing
A recommendation: The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer is really good! I'm rereading it again and I jus really enjoy the characters and how the world works. I know you may have a couple problems with it, but it honestly is really good. If it being a twist off of fairy tales isn't enough, I don't know what is!
No, the series is called The Lunar Chronicles, and the books are Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, Winter, (novella) Fairest, and (short stories) Stars Above. I actually haven't heard of those books. Maybe I'll read them... ;)
You should also read The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud if you love sassy protagonists- and His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman - both fantasy series with amazing character development and writing styles
If u have read Percy Jackson, The Hunger games, and Harry Potter, U are going to ADORE The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Pasolini and the Acendance Trilogy by Jennifer A. Nielsen. The inheritance cycle’s books are Eragon, Eldest, Brisinger, and Inheritance. The Acendance trilogy’s books are The False Price, The Runaway King, and The Shadow Throne. Please try them!! The are action packed, and any of Jennerfer A. Nielsen’s works are THEEEE BEESSSTT , with the main character being funny, witty, sassy, and GENIUS. Both of theses series’s have massive plot twists and excellent writing. Please take this into account when choosing your next book😁
