i'm already happy with myself because i'm in a 5 year book slump and last year i read a grand total of 1 book, while this year so far i've read 2 and a half books in 9 days. progress is progress. hope you (and everyone reading this) have a good reading year and a good year in general too :)

The moment u realize eveything u read was just based on hannah's recommendations

[Amystudio]

There’s something about Colleen Hoover that when I see the books I run in the opposite direction, they give me the ick without ever reading a single one, idk why.

[AlessandroReads]

Me, knowing EXACTLY what Hannah’s going to say about The Spanish Love Deception and ACOTAR, and still cracking up anyway 😂😂😂

[salmabenhamida]

You literally dropped this video at the right moment, wasn't having that good of a day, not at my best mentally. You're amazing
Hannah ❤

[khalilahd.]

Lmfaooo I will never get over your colleen Hoover reviews because you’re so right 😭 you read some really good ones last year but definitely some doozies thanks for taking one for the team. You’ve saved me so much money lol

[emmagreene]

I LOVED all the Colleen Hoover 1 star reviews, i feel validated:)

[yoonkookie]

At this point I can have a whole bookshelf dedicated to all the books I read/will read because you recommended it/gave it a good review 😂

[Spiritbro]

Congratulations on the 87 books! That is awesome.

[wateruga]

So happy I found your channel. You led me to Daisy Jones and The Six which became my favorite book of all time, and now I hope the show does the books justice when it comes out

[georgiefarr]

I'll never get tired of reading Heartstopper. Its so beautiful 💕💕💕

[mansoor]

Hey! Hannah you are my favourite youtuber and I love to read books so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you reach 500K Subscribers very very soon!❤️✨☺️

[haniahmed]

Thank you for the Yona of the dawn appreciation. Even though the manga is fairly popular for a shoujo I still feel like it’s a tad underrated. Can’t wait to see you delve more into the upcoming volumes. Also can’t wait for your chain of thorns review when it comes out.

[shreejitaghosh]

The reviewing of every book of the year in one sentence is actually something I saw Jack Edward's do last year!

[safaarif]

I am honored to say we read so many of the same books 😭😭😭🫶🏻

[savigecow]

Would you be up to read Heaven official’s blessing? It’s a Chinese BL and it’s almost done releasing the books. The plot is a bit confusing but it’s great when you start to get everything and the characters are super well written.

[aamnahere]

I read 'The Starless Sea' by Erin Morgenstern last year only because of you. Such high praise from you made me really curious about it even though I didn't like fantasy much. It's my favourite book of the year now and I am so glad I read it. It's one of the most poetic and enchanting books I've ever read. It literally reads like a fairytale. Thank you for the wonderful recommendation.

[ChemicalPenguinn]

The Picture of Dorian Gray more like The Picture of Dorian Gay. The subtext is very, um....not straight 😂

Also if you want more manga recommendations I would recommend you,

Natsume's book of friends. Such an unique story that makes me feel emotions I didn't know I had, in a range so beautiful thinking about it makes me so emotional. It's the story about an orphan able to see which others usually don't see, creatures and spirits called yokai, who settles down in his grandmothers hometown. There he learns that he has inherited from her her book of friends which has the power to control yokai, and decides with a cat as his bodyguard to give back the names to the yokai, in the process getting to know his grandmother by their memories. It's also a story about threading the human and supernatural world, trying to find one place in the world where you belong.

QQ Sweeper/Queens Quality. The author once said she wanted to write the darkest shojo, and I can totally see that happening here. It's an very unique shojo fantasy story about a cursed girl and a boy, and cleaning. The story begins with QQ Sweeper which has 3 volumes then continues with Queens Quality where the story is taken to a new direction so I don't want to spoil to much.

My love story!! This is one of the cutest romance stories ever. It's about a big man whos never experienced love, and he has a super popular friend. One day he rescues a girl and they start going out. It's really cute and so worth it if you just want fluff, romance, and humor!

Noragami. I feel like this one has a vibe somewhat similar to AkaYona even though they don't have much in common, I guess it's the familiar emotional type of similarity? Anyways it's the story about a girl who saves a boy from getting run over, but in the process splits her soul from her body. Apparently the boy is no normal boy but a god, though not your well known god that you worship but one who has to work like crazy in order not to be forgotten and then disappear. It's quite heavy on lore and stuff, but it's totally worth it, such an amazing story.

I think I wanted to share more but I tried too hard to explain these series well though I'm not very good at it. I hope you will like them if you decide to check them out!
