The hunger games are still amazing books and they definitely stand the test of time. I dont think they are just " one more YA dystopian series that succeded" but it's a really important, impactul and beautiful story, with such and relevant message. I think many people that have read when they were younger should reread it now because it certainly improves upon rereading it .

13:15 PERCY JACKSON FOR LIFE OMG ANNABETH IS MY 😭😭😭

[pagesofthenorth]

You've got loads of great fantasy books on this list! ✨ The Hobbit and The Name of the Wind are some of my favorites as well! 😊

[viviish]

Yes, I totally agree with you about Sarah J Maas!! I read Tower of Dawn and loved it even though I was expecting otherwise. And you made me very excited to read The priory of the orange tree.

[onkareads]

YES!! Finally someone's talking about The Shadow of the Wind! I know it's popular book but sometimes I feel like it should be talked about more because it definitely deserves ALL the love!! I've always loved reading and I can't remember times I haven't been reading but I feel like this book made me fall in love with books even more! So it's good to see someone else hyping it!
And you definitely need to continue on with the series! I bought the last installment (The Labyrinth of Spirits) in Spanish last year but it's so huge and I doubt my level of Spanish is enough to understand it all so yeah.. I've been staring at it on my shelf ever since :D

[resa_reads]

I loved The Turn Of The Screw! And Percy Jackson meant so much to me... it still does, if I'm being honest. GoT is great as well!! Loved your picks!

[falonwillow]

i’m so glad you loved the priory of the orange tree! it was one of my faves of the year it was so good

[amandaconaway]

I agree with the comment below!!!! I literally just finished re-reading the first book a few days ago for the first time in 10 years. I was also worried I wouldn't love it as much as I did back then but it is 100% just as amazing!!

[nilulal]

Really really good books n i was so happy to see some of the ones ive read in your book list. I just for nostalgia picked up hunger games, and suprisingly to find out Susan Collins is releasing a new one in May!! So perfect timing for rereading Hungry Games😊 awesome video thank you!

I’m 45 and I’m trash for Sarah J Mass books too - absolutely love them. You might like The Ancient Future trilogy. It’s an oldie but a goodie!

[sarahs]

Ahh I am reading priory of the orange tree now, on kindle which I usually never do, especially with big books, but it’s so good and I’m at 15% so idk what page number that equates to. Anyway it’s going to be one of my new favorites. I’m getting the same feelings about it as the song of ice and fire series by GRRM, which I see you also loved. Looks like I’ll have to try the bone season next
My top 3 reads of the decade were ACOTAR series, SoIaF series, and cartwheel by Jennifer Dubois, ahh and Fire by Kristen Cashore is a close runner up

[Julija]

I don't know what exactly it is but I have to say this is my most favorite video of yours I have ever seen!!💖 It was just so wonderful to hear about your reading experiences and why you loved those books so much. A lot of them went straight to my tbr / wish list. 🌟 I wish you another great reading decade! 😊💖

[confuzzledbev]

I really want to read The Turn of the Screw.
I've never heard of The Wren Hunt. I will definitely have to check that out.
Loved The Shadow of the Wind. I need to read the sequel.
Circe has such a pretty cover.
Ah, The Night Circus. I really need to reread that. I haven't been following you long enough to guess your favourites so I didn't try.

[shay_starlessxsea]

I read Circe last year and absolutely loved it. I've always been fascinated with Greek Mythology too and am loving all the recent retellings that are coming out!

[VelvetLibrary]

I would highly recommend revisiting The Hunger Games at some point. I was completely over them, I guess?? And I'd lumped them in with all the other YA I'd read in my teens that didn't stand the test of time. But I reread them last year and I was wowed by how good they still were!

[stephaniew.]

I read Circe and Song of Achilles in the first months of 2019 and enjoyed them so much that I now want to read all the greek mythology books and retellings I can find. A few days ago I started Silence of the Girls and so far I really like it as well. I might have to see if I can find the copy of the Odyssey you talked about as so far it has still been a bit intimidating to attempt it. I also just found your channel a little while ago and am really looking forward to hear about all the mythology books and retellings :)

[MLLatUtube]

I can give you my top two: A Man Called Ove and One in a Million Boy. I wouldn't have read either if someone hadn't said to read them without looking at the synopsis. I am so grateful for that advice as I love both books.

[BiblioThoughts]

I fell in love with Greek mythology in my first year of uni and your dissertation topic sounds so interesting! I just got Emily Wilson’s translation and can’t wait to read it 😄 also City of Brass 😍

[ashleightorrie]

I adore The Night Circus. It was the book that got me back into reading again, I read it the same year you did and have very similar thoughts on it. I love your edition of it 💖
