my favourite fantasy books of all time! 📖☁️

Hello everyone and welcome to my long awaited favourite fantasy books of all time video! I've gotten to the point where I make a 'favourite books of all time video' every year or two. But I've been waiting for this one because I'm an indecisive human being and I'm just so excited about so many fantasy books at any given point. But here we are! And I'm already concerned that His Dark Materials should have been higher on the list bc I'm just about to finish the final book!

This list includes high fantasy, magical realism, middle grade / YA books and anything that really falls into the speculative / fantasy genre.

I hope you guys enjoy this video and find some fun fantasy books to read! Take care 💛

WELCOME to my *long awaited* (I mean, I'm not sure you guys were waiting but I CERTAINLY WAS) favourite fantasy books of all time! This was supposed to be ten books. This was more than ten books. This video became more chaotic than I thought it would but I hope you enjoy it 😅

I found it really cute that you were struggling to keep the list within 12 but eventually gave up 😂 it just means you have read so many books that you love and that's amazing!

[EpicReads]

So many amazing books! Can't wait to get started on some of these!

Hi from Japan! This is my first time to watch your video and I was so surprised that “lonely castle in the mirror” has English version!!!! I read this in Japanese and I wanted to recommend this to my friend who is a book warm so glad to know that! Your video is absolutely fantastic and I’m already excited to watch another video from you:))

i love howl's moving castle so much! just when i thought the movie couldn't get any better, the book proves me otherwise. it's so magical, whimsical, comedic, and super-duper enjoyable!

I would love to see a full video of your love for Harry Potter 🥺 I’ve been yearning to see someone else with the same experience with and soul-wrenching love for Harry Potter make a video about it! I think because it’s so integral to so many people’s lives, many YouTubers perhaps think it’s redundant to talk about it but I would love to hear your thoughts!

As the resident Gaiman Stan of all my friend groups, I absolutely adore how you've fallen head over heels in love with his work. I wish I was still discovering his magic like you are. Absolutely loved how you went back to back to back with the Gaiman's in the middle 💜

If you like Howl’s Moving Castle, you should try The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. The main character is just like Howl but you get sooo many more scenes because its a series AND it’s from his POV. I think you would love it. The Thief is the first book and it may seem a little slow but don’t judge the series based on that. It just gets better and better with each book. Please give it a try. ❤️

To be honest, for me... The more books you include, the better 😂 then we have more recomendations to read and we get to know you better 💕
Oh, and huge congratulations for your selkie story that got published!!! Im super happy for you ☺️

I started Priory of the Orange Tree because of your recommendation and am almost done!! It's fantastic, thank you!!!

[ghostlymyfriend]

I love Jonathan Stange & Mr Norrell so much that I collect multiple editions. OBSESSED.

Managed to get half-way through the video before I just _had_ to get up, make myself a cup of tea and go read... Your videos always make me want to read, but also now I have to finish my current book so I can start on all the 12/13 books you recommended! <3

[darrylgordon]

Water for Elephants is a book that sounds up your alley. The level of detail in this book was remarkable. Also Princess Bride.

[craftblend]

I absolutely love your aesthetics. You have a great eye for colors and setting a cozy tone for your videos!

Your number one book and your book zero are something we have in common. I loved HP, but I think what gave me the push to write was Howl's Moving Castle. I love that the story was whimsical and fun, and you could just lose yourself in a grand adventure.

I can't agree completely with your Neverwhere feelings. It actually ended up in my DNR list :(

Either way, great vid! Can't wait to read some of your recommendations!

Would you mind putting a list of the books mentioned in the infobox, because I always have to take pictures of the names of the books so I can add them to my TBR list:))

[candicejarrett]

Howl's Moving Castle was the book that made me want to be an author <3

[shadowkissed]

I started reading because of Harry Potter, too! 😭 I finished the entire series in a week. And I have been chasing that high ever since. I will definitely try some of your recommendations! Thank you so much.

[Hylirica]

I just picked up Howl's Moving Castle after your recommendation, and I am absolutely in love. I completely see why it tops this list, as it's soared to the top of mine as well. I didn't expect this book to hit so close to my heart. I thank you endlessly for sharing this! 💙💙💙

I haven't even finished the video yet because the SECOND i heard jonathan strange & mr norrell I audibly gasped. that's my favourite book of all time, you're the first booktuber I've seen to mention it!! sorry I just got excited. I've been meaning to read many books on your list - all 3 gaiman books and priory of the orange tree - so now I will definitely do so.

I actually started reading The House in the Cerulean Sea because of you and even bought a copy for my sister to read so we can talk about it together. I’m currently like 8 chapters in and it’s not necessarily my favorite, but I’m sure it will speed up. I love little cute fantasy books. ♥️
