Welcome back to #Vlognukah! Today I want to chat about all of the books I read in 2023! I didn’t set a reading goal this year other than JOY and went pretty hard into fantasy (especially Brandon Sanderson). If you've read any of these, I'd love to hear what you thought!📚 Thanks to Audible for sponsoring this video. Check Audible out and get listening now: adbl.co/47RpGFq.

Borrowbox, which is available through UK libraries, allows you to take out audiobooks (and ebooks) for free with your library card!

@sarapattschull 7 месяцев назад

Sanderson nerd here. Yes, Alloy of law was originally going to be a stand alone! And Steris was purposefully written as autistic!! Which I love as a fellow autistic.

@TheNerdyArcher 7 месяцев назад

Absolutely loved The Bandit Queens - and I also picked it up from Leena's recommendation!

@carlypappas6965 7 месяцев назад

I normally really struggle with audiobooks but the audiobooks of Gideon the Ninth/The Locked Tomb series are INCREDIBLE. Like you mentioned, one narrator but each voice is so distinct and designed with such care.

@pattyw9418 7 месяцев назад

Absolutely adore this book content. Always good to hear about what you are digging into for fun. So happy for you Hannah. Looking forward to how much you will grow when you get a little space in your life. Sending love ❤️

@hamba1998 7 месяцев назад

I am currently on my 11th Brandon Sanderson book of the year thanks to your recommendations at the start of the year! And I've also read 10 Sarah J Maas books in the last year and a bit thanks to The Common Room! In the acknowledgments of Rhythm of War, Brandon Sanderson thanks his expert on Dissociative Identity Disorder, so I'm guessing that's what he had in mind for Shallan, which is explored in a very interesting way.

@morehannah 7 месяцев назад

Oh yes must be!

@diaz9rox 7 месяцев назад

I love fantasy! Name of the wind is just my favourite :)

@rileighdewing7056 7 месяцев назад

I also read a lot of books that Leena recommends 👌🏼🥰

@sandrar4981 4 месяца назад

Well what a coincidence, I also got sucked into the Brando Sando cosmere when I was pregnant with my first child. Now, nearly 5 years later I have read probably 90% of his books 😂❤ favorites are Warbreaker and the Mistborn series. There is a fans podcast which I HIGHLY recommend, love to listen to that (it's called 17th shard). Audiobooks are not for me though, I can't focus on them. Kindle ebooks it is for me as preferred medium. Also this purple suits you really well 💜

@at5363 7 месяцев назад

I really do love your content about books ❤

@sewme1468 7 месяцев назад

the color looks amazing on hannah!

@EllieRoseMcKee 7 месяцев назад

LOVE the colour of that top!

@armerls 6 месяцев назад

Someone spoiled one of the biggest Brandon Sanderson things and now I’m so hesitant to read the books knowing what I know. But you’ve inspired me to give them a try even though I can’t feel the surprises I’m meant to!

@GloriaTulwan 7 месяцев назад

I always love your book videos so so much !!!! Also that purple looks incredible on you!

@glimmeringshard 7 месяцев назад

So excited for this video!

@glimmeringshard 7 месяцев назад

Daisy Jones & The Six was so good of an audiobook!

@mariahg343 7 месяцев назад

Hannah, I can’t wait for you to read the Brandon Sanderson secret projects from this year! Yumi and the Nightmare Painter is my favorite of those books. 🙌 My favorite ever Sanderson book is Warbreaker.

@morehannah 7 месяцев назад

Oooh Dan has a physical copy of Warbreaker at home but neither of us have read it

@zofiabochenska1240 7 месяцев назад

Warbreaker is great, and I also really liked Elantris (which some people Say isn't as good, since it was a debut). I'm catching UP on everyrhing Sanderson, and can't wait for book 5 of SA!

@mariahg343 7 месяцев назад

Yes! I cannot wait for Stormlight 5. I’m among those who did not care for Elantris very much. Hannah, if you’re wanting more Stormlight, definitely check out Edgedancer (Book 2.5) and Dawnshard (Book 3.5). I ❤❤❤ the deep dive into the side characters in those shorter books.

@domvalentine9137 7 месяцев назад

i ended up in a bookstore for a few hours and i had remembered hearing you recommended brandon sanderson and i ended up grabbing the first one the mistborn series since it was the one i saw first and ive been enjoying it so im glad to hear im gonna have plenty more fantasy to read when im done with it :)

@MiscellaneousMatilda 7 месяцев назад

So exited to hear your thoughts on Juno's book! It's been on my shelf since June and for some reason feels a bit daunting. Also, this purple on you! 💜

@DaisySore 7 месяцев назад

i looove lex’s regency books but i wasn’t planning on reading gwen and art because i don’t read loads of ya anymore but because you said you enjoyed it i changed my mind and it is now my favourite of all of their books!! so thank you for that

@EmilyRoseVass 7 месяцев назад

As a fellow Cosmere lover who was converted by my partner I loved this video. I totally agree with the representations of mental health in Stormlight I think it’s very clever! Based on the other books you’ve read I’d highly recommend Tress of the Emerald Sea it’s one of the Secret Project books Sanderson released this year snd one of my favourites of his!

@paulhujsak1310 7 месяцев назад

I love that you've gone down the sanderson rabbit hole. I agree that the stormlight archive is better than the mistborn series. The main characters are much more developed. I find Wax tedious. Steris is such an interesting character. Absolutely, the voice actors or authors can make or break a book. My current favorite narrator is Jeff Hays in "Dungeon Crawler Carl " series. Highly recommend that series.

@morehannah 7 месяцев назад

Yeah I don’t really care for Wax or many of the main characters in Mistborn the same way I care about Jasnah lol

@abierosebooks7720 7 месяцев назад

The Six of crows duology is one of my favourite fantasy stories! Glad you enjoyed it. I’m going to have to read some Brandon Sanderson !

@Cat-lp1be 7 месяцев назад

Love the book content! Might try a bit of Brandon Sanderson next year; I think the universe wants it to happen with all the content I’m seeing about it at the moment!❤

@haleypratt7934 7 месяцев назад

Yes, Steris is the best! With all the secret project books he's published this year, I feel like I always have more Sanderson to read. I'm totally caught up on Cosmere books now, though!

@mehtahussain 7 месяцев назад

I came from your main channel after your recent update video, and omg I had no idea you were also into reading! I watch booktube videos everyday so at first I thought this was one of those channels before I saw your face in the thumbnail, what a lovely surprise. Words of Radiance is my favourite in the Stormlight Archive too! I think my favourite BrandoSando book of all time is Elantris-followed closely by Warbreaker-but that's definitely an unpopular opinion in the book community ;-;

@theaudiobookaficionado 7 месяцев назад

wooo we love booktuber hannah

@ZaydaFleming 7 месяцев назад

I also read Bandit Queens because of Leena’s video! It was such a cool read.

@eli_drottningu 5 месяцев назад

Loved your reviews!! I added a few to storygraph already n.n

@martynaki962 7 месяцев назад

Big Sanderson fan, so happy you read all of these 😁 Steris was written as an autistic person, Sanderson mentioned it in one of the interviews. Btw, I love her character, she's the best and has such a great story in the last 2nd Era book 😊

@morehannah 7 месяцев назад

I’m listening to lost metal now and loving Steris’ scenes even if we’re not getting as much of her

@ellenforster6822 6 месяцев назад

Words Of Radiance was definitely my favourite, it's been a while since I read them so I can't remember for sure but I think that's the one with the epic duel (no spoilaz) either way, love Brando Sando so much, really appreciate you talking about these books because I don't know any women in my life who read fantasy!

@16ilovevampires 7 месяцев назад

I also got sucked into the Cosmere by my husband, so very relatable. :p

@KnasMuuIda 7 месяцев назад

There's also a movie of "The Wife" starring Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce. Can recommend! And yeah, that plot twist was very obvious

@jennr8083 6 месяцев назад

Omg, I feel the same way about the Daisy Jones and The Six TV Adaptation. I read the book right before the show came out and I had to put the show down, wait a bit, then start again because I couldn't separate the 2 enough to enjoy the show!

@gwennopritchard3205 7 месяцев назад

Loved the Juno Dawson Coven audiobooks!!! The ending of the second one was so 😱 I insisted my sister reads them so I can chat with someone about it!!!

@aidao9310 7 месяцев назад

I think I remember hearing in one of Sanderson's podcast that after getting neuro divergence very wrong in one of his early books (I don't remember if he mentioned which, but a character in Elantris is a likely candidate) he has made a conscious effort to make sure that he has good representation in his further work.

@morehannah 7 месяцев назад

Oh interesting!!

@harleyallison4881 7 месяцев назад

I did and loved the mistborn series this year too! If you love Michael and Kates narration, they also did my favorite fantasy series of the year, Shades Of Magic by VE Schwab. It was wild going from just intrinsically knowing Michael Kramers voice as the voice of the cosmere, to hearing him curse and be a smart mouthed gay prince 😂

@CorinneDemyanovich 7 месяцев назад

If you do want to set a goal in the future, a pages goal on StoryGraph is great for people who love chunky books!

@kiayae5899 7 месяцев назад

For audiobook series/narrators I highly recommend the Rivers of London series read by Kobna Holbrook Smith. Fun stories made even more awesome with his narration.

@MandaPanda254 7 месяцев назад

For some reason I can only listen to non fiction audio books. I wish I could listen to fiction, but it just doesn't stick in my head, I have to physically read it. It's really frustrating convenience wise 😄

@zofiabochenska1240 7 месяцев назад

So many comments from Sanderson fans :) 20 books is still a great reading year - especially with Stormlight. I'm always looking forward to bookish content - maybe you could do a children one as well? I remeber you saying that if you tracked Rowans books, your number would be sooo high!

@morehannah 7 месяцев назад

It would!! But I just keep forgetting to track his books 😅😅

@Katiedora122 7 месяцев назад

You know, I was able to hit 100 books this year (especially since I've incorporated nonfiction audiobooks when I'm working from home), but I still haven't managed to finish Words of Radiance after starting it in the spring 🤣 I loved Mistborn a few years ago (with similar feelings about second era, especially Steris), and Tress of the Emerald Sea is one of my top 5 books this year! But every time I pick up WoR, my brain goes on the fritz and I suddenly discover I've read 3 romance novels, lol.

@jenni5608 7 месяцев назад

Wow maybe I should give Stormlight Archive a go! The only Sanderson I've read is The Fallen Empire and I hated the not-like-other-girls thing so much... But hearing you talk about that makes me wonder if his other books are indeed better 🤔

@miraearles3372 7 месяцев назад

Have you read Dawnshard yet? It's a stormlight archives book about two disabled characters and it's lovely and a quick read. ❤

@Larissa_KD 7 месяцев назад

I've also read many of these books and enjoyed them all a lot (the Lex Croucher ones, Bandit Queens, HMRC), and I'm actually currently reading the Well of Ascension! I just read a hint of a character (Breeze) where Sanderson notes that he never has romantic partners, and i'm fully reading him as ace now, really hope that's true haha

@morehannah 7 месяцев назад

No spoilers but I also thought something similar and…

@hollym7878 7 месяцев назад

I agree with you about Oathbringer. The ending was incredible (as always with Sanderson endings) but that book was a slog. I love the Stormlight Archive overall though, and book 4 might be my favourite so far. Navani is a total powerhouse! Edit: regarding Mistborn Era 2, I strongly suggest reading the White Sand books (audible has them as Full-Cast Audio stories) before reading The Lost Metal. Things will make more sense if read in that order.

@morehannah 7 месяцев назад

Oh dear - already 2/3rds the way through lost metal lol!!! IT’S WILD

@hollym7878 7 месяцев назад

@@morehannah Or you could always read them after! It'll still clear stuff up!

@maiiamiii 7 месяцев назад

I love Sanderson books and just finished Oathbringer. Though Mistborn didn't really work for me, as someone with systemic metal allergies the ingesting-metal-leading-to-physical-effects part was quite triggering to me 😅

hey hannah

@jag519 7 месяцев назад

Lol, yeah, Mistborn was supposed to be 3 trilogies, and the current era 2 was not one of the eras. haha. And yeah after Alloy of Law for fun he realized that was going to be a full series. For a bit we called it era 1.5 when it was just AoL, but it's officially era 2 now and Mistborn will be at least 4 series. haha Also, he did a screenplay for mistborn era 1 for fun, and he gender swapped Dox and Ham, b/c he also knows that the rep in era 1 wasnt good. haha

@morehannah 7 месяцев назад

Ahahah we love that growth.

@Kimberly-hm5xj 7 месяцев назад

Have you already read The Witcher? I think you might like it! I am listening in audiobook, and i'm in the fifth book. They're very intersting, funny and imersive, with a lot of really intricate characters.

@Oaxara 7 месяцев назад

Twinsies on that Daisy Jones experience. Listened to the book about 2 weeks before the show came out, and WHAT a mistake! I do hope to try the show again in 2024, now that I feel like my initial rage and opinionating has died down.
