The Last Unicorn is GORGEOUS! I've loved the story (in movie form) since I was a child, and then I discovered the book and have reread it many times since then and every single time I love it so much...so excited for you to read it :) I'm so happy more youtubers are picking this gem up!
I decided to read every Fredrik Backman book this year, only 520 pages to go. I am so happy I did they were nice breaks from my normal fantasy genre. My goal this year is to thrift every Patricia Briggs Mercy Thomson book and read everything Adrienne Young has written thus far.
I love this! It sounds very fun to have such specific reading goals. I want to read every Taylor Jenkins Reid book. I've only read Evidence of the affair and Daisy Jones so far and loved both. I want to see if she is worth the hype.
I adore Louise Erdrich! Antelope Wife is wonderful historical magical realism, but my favorite is her Love Medicine Series - tragic, humorous, and mysterious!
Regan have you considered the Sun Eater series?? Some other booktubers put me onto it and the series has fully wrecked me. Sci Fi with a fantasy vibe, morally gray characters but not truly grimdark. This series is so good and I feel like definitely up your alley
@@PeruseProject It's on a lot of the same "best of" lists as The Will of the Many and each book gets better and better so far. Hope you get the chance to read it in 2024!!
The last unicorn is STUNNING! I am definitely reading it next year on my TBR 🎄🎁☃️❄️🎁🎁☃️📙📙💚🎅🏻🎅🏻❤️❤️📚🎄🎁☃️❄️❄️🎁🎄📚❤️🎅🏻🎅🏻💚📙📙📙📙📙❄️☃️☃️🎄📚📚📚🎄🎁❄️❄️📙📙💚🎅🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My goals this year are to read the ACOTAR series and reread the Hunger Games series. Other that, I'll probably keep reading new releases like I did this past year, as I found that to be super enjoyable! I'm mostly a library reader, so I don't buy a ton of books, but I do have a good amount anyway. So another goal is to read my actual physical TBR and size down my bookshelf a bit and only keep things I truly want copies of.
James Isington is one of my favorite authors of all time and his first trilogy is sooo good. Honestly, you are in for such a treat, and it feels like a very Raegan book. Hope you love it as much as I do.
The Last Unicorn was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I still love it today. The soundtrack is still so good. I read the book for the first time last year and loved it too. The movie is a pretty good adaption overall but the book does have some expanded sections (as per usual) I’m really looking forward to The Book that Broke the World by Mark Lawrence. The sequel to the Book that Wouldn’t Burn which was one of my favorites last year. The sequel is listed to be out April 11th!
Some priority books for me next year are The Elements of Cadence duology from Rebecca Ross, A House with Good Bones by T. Kingfisher, the books of Ava Reid, Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett when it comes out, Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen, and The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden when it comes out.
Just finished The Final Empire and loved it so much! I'm diving straight into the next books and after the Brando Sando hyper fixation I'll switch to Abercrombie.
Can you do a video on book recs on fantasy standalone(or duology?)sometimes I get really intrigued by your book recs but the amount of books in the whole series would be too much for me😅(money,time problems 😢)
I got “The Shadow of What Was Lost” right after Christmas, but only got the first book to see if I like it. If I like it, then I’ll get the other books in the series
I’m currently reading The Sentence and it’s fantastic!! I found Louise Erdrich through The Night Watchman in 2023 - I still think about it, it made her a must-read author for me. I’m late to the game, but I’m so glad I found her work!!
For the Licanius Trilogy, I recommend reading the books back to back. There is soooo much that happens in each book that, from my experience, benefits from reading them in quick succession (also, there's a nice summary at the beginning of book 2 + 3)
The Deep sky OMG! I need to read it and the cover is gorgeous and I love space books ❤️🎁❄️🎅🏻🎅🏻🎁🎁🎄🎄🎄📙💚💚📚📚💚💚📖📙📙📙🎅🏻🎅🏻☃️☃️☃️❤️🎁❄️🎅🏻🎄🎄🎄📙💚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚💚💚📖📙🎄🎄🎅🏻🎅🏻❄️❤️☃️☃️📚📚📚📚💚
So many books on this list are on my list too! Hopefully it will be a great year of reading for both of us. I definitely recommend watching the Last Unicorn movie when you read the book! There are some differences but I think they capture the same feeling.
Best 5 kindle ebooks I read in 2024 (all books are at 1 dollar or under) NONFICTION 1.Good Idea Bad Idea - by Son. E 2.Death : The Last sleep - by TOD. S 3.Vivid Victory : A guide to success - John T. W 4.Amigos : A guide to genuine friendships - Lookman. E FICTION 1.WTf?! - By SON. E (must read)
The Dutch house I love her books and I am going to read more of her books too 📚📚❄️❄️📙📙📚❄️📙❤️🎅🏻🎅🏻🎄💚☃️📖🎁🎁📚📙❤️❤️❤️🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎄💚📖📖📖🎁🎁🎁❄️📙❤️❤️❤️📙❄️📚📚📙🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻☃️☃️📖📖📖📖📖🎁🎁🎁📚❄️📙📙🎅🏻🎅🏻🎄☃️☃️📖🎁🎁🎁🎁
Hi Regan! Love your videos. I too really enjoy books about family dynamics, stories that deep dive on sibling/friend relationships or new found families. Have you ever considered making a video focused on that "genre"? I would love to get more of your recommendations! Pachinko, The House in the Cerulean Sea and The Nightingale were three amazing books I found thanks to you!
My fave patchett so far is the Dutch house then state of wonder then tom Lake. I too have a big collection of her stuff to read through. Tom Hanks is apparently a friend of hers, I really enjoyed his narration of the Dutch house. I highly recommend state of wonder.. It's unlike anything I've read and whilst it wasn't my favourite of hers, the visuals have stuck with me years later. I can't shake it off! 🌴 Hope you enjoy your year of Ann!
Most of Ancillary Sword felt like a becky chambers-esque cozy scifi with characters drinking tea, very different from Justice, curious to see what you think of it
I just started the Stormlight series and I will definitely read all of those books in 2024. A book I'm really looking forward to is Sky's End by Marc Gregson. It's his debut book but the premise sounds right up my alley.
I have read 2 Anne patchette books now I do want to read more! I loved Dutch House idk what it was exactly I’m definitely more of a fantasy reader, but I think that some of the quirkiness of the Dutch House is what made it work for me. It’s interesting this is the second TBR I’ve seen with this book on it.
I’m diving into the Stormlight Archive🤓also continuing the Sun Eater series by Christopher Ruocchio which I have been loving. Hoping for the next book when it comes out from Ryan Cahill The Bound and the Broken. Will of the Many, Empire of Doom, The art of Destiny , the Licanius Trilogy and finishing the Trials of Empire will be priority for me .
The Sentence is absolutely brilliant, but while it does feature a haunted bookstore, go into it knowing that it’s set In Minneapolis during COVID and George Floyd. It’s quite intense at times.
I appreciated Grace of Kings more after digging into the historical context of it, but ultimately felt it was too slow with too many disjointed POVs at the beginning. The beginning 200 pages were a slog for me. It was more focused in the second half, which I liked better, but didn’t save it from being a disappointing read. Knowing the second book is about the same in length I’m still hesitant to continue since I thought the first one could have been tightened up a lot.
I've been trying to consume more BookTuber content and I love your list!! Added The Last Unicorn (which also reminded me that I need to read Howl's Moving Castle!), The Sentence, and The Deep Sky onto my own list. Happy reading in 2024!
"The Dandelion Dynasty" is the best Fantasy series that I read so far. I hope you will have a great time with it as well. "Parable of the Talents" feels prophetic and I am so excited for you to discover the full ramificatios that already hapened in America. Simon Himenez is on my list 2024, I also want to re-read "Fevered Star" in preparation for "Mirrored Heavens".
thanks for so many amazing videos this year! ❤I definitely recommend reading the rest of the neapolitan novels by elena ferrante :) I know you loved the first one, so I think you'll love books 2-4 even more. it's the best lit fic series I've ever read and I read them SO quickly 😍
I only listened to The Dutch House because of Tom Hanks but I ended up really liking the book. I also have so many of Louise Erdrich's books but have yet to read anything by her even though I think I'll love her work!!
Ohhh, The Vanished Birds... The whole book I thought to myself, "Solid three stars." Then the last sentence blew me away, and I started crying and bumped my rating way up. Enjoy!
Last year I read one of Ken Liu's short story collections called The Paper Menagerie and it was wonderful. I would also love to read Grace of Kings by him!
I’m going to give robin hobb a try again, I enjoyed the first two books in her Fitz series in 2020 but got lost in my TBR. Jade city in 2024 all 3 are sitting on my shelf staring at me! Also want to read a few historical fiction / lit fic as i enjoy the genres but have fallen into my fantasy hole for a few years & haven’t come out! 😂
For the first time ever, I'm going to be reading a Mann Booker prize winner in 2024. I have the paperback of In Ascension pre-ordered. It won 2023. Another booktuber I follow sang its praises. It is a literary scifi. I'm not into lit fic normally.
I read both Tress and Yumi tais year, and, although I really liked Tress, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter is so much better, I loved tais book so so much! I think you're gonna love it too
I am going to try to get to my back logged tbr list. 🤦🏽♀️ Especially before I buy anything else. I also want to read a fantasy series. I don’t typically. Which is a good series to start for a beginner? lol
Excited to hear this list ✏️ Maybe this is lit fic, idk, but you might really enjoy Wolf in White Van. Pretty dark read, beautiful writing. Author is the front person for the band Mountain Goats.
I should try some of Ann Patchett’s fiction one of these days, but I loved her essay collection, _These Precious Days_, most particulary one about death cleaning and manual typewriters, and one about creating Thanksgiving dinner from scratch and a copy of The Joy of Cooking as a college freshman who couldn’t get home.
I am just about to start Welcome To The Hyunam-Dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-Reum. A debut novel by a Korean author, really looking forward to it. Whatever you all read in the coming year I hope they will be both rewarding and enjoyable.
I do have some books i need to read in 2024 Interview with the vampire Queen of the damned Column of fire by ken follett The green mile by Stephen king
I am not usually a fantasy reader, but I think Sanderson may have a writing style that I might gravitate to. Can you suggest where I might start? Yumi sounds wonderful. Can it be read out of sequence? I do t know where to start with his many many books
The Little White Horse ( I read when I was 10 & now rereading )- stuck with me similar to Unicorn ( although now I can see how "Christian preachy it is & the number of times Goudge wrote "ejaculated ") - well I lol ALOT.
I know this is not in topic with books (which you have the best taste for) but if you are willing to share… I looooove your necklace, do you know where you got it from? 😍
@@PeruseProject thank you SO much for responding!! I wish now I would’ve commented how much of a light your videos have been for me this year. 💗 a true beacon of happiness, thank you for sharing your reading and hobby journeys with us!
I think I’m in the minority when I say I did not like The Last Unicorn at all. This book is barely 200 pages long and it took me over two months to finish. It was a SLOG 😬 The only part I kind of enjoyed was going more in-depth with the Unicorn’s/Amalthea’s thoughts and feelings; everything else was just meh, so I’ll just be sticking to the film from now on which I absolutely adore 💖 But as everyone is different and unique, I’d say read it if you’re genuinely curious! 😄
