I Read the Most Viral Books of 2022...

I wanted to read the books I saw most that were most loved in "my favorite books of 2022" YouTube videos, tik toks, and instagram posts! Yay booktube! and booktok! and bookstagram!

At this point I don’t read viral books when they first become popular, I wait till the second wave of reviews come to know if it’s actually good or not

Tip: for books like babel, either with many pages or complex, I recommend reading while listening to the audiobook. Makes getting thru it while understanding it that much easier

I would never have picked up Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow because of the hype and the same-ish reviews, but you've changed my mind. Seeing you try it and talk about it more than just surface level really makes me want to read it now. 📚

[lorelaikate]

Next you should have Ryan read three of your favorite books 🤭

I really love how slow Babel is. It’s slow but never boring because you’re learning so much about language. I think we just live in a world where people need quick and exciting and that’s not necessarily a good thing all the time in books.

At this moment of time, I can proudly say that I don't trust much of the booktok recommendations but if it is read by Haley I get the motivation to read

Can we just appreciate the amount of effort she put to make these videos for us....✨

If you’re looking for more general fiction, you should read Anxious People by Fredrik Backman. It’s a bit confusing for the first bit but the end is soo good

Hayley, Steph, and Jack posting all on the same day made my life complete

That passage that you highlighted from Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow questioning "Why was it acceptable for apparently well-meaning people to see the world in such a general way?" really stood out to me as well. It was definitely a meaningful scene, although I don't know that it contributed much to the overall narrative.

I’d love for you to know I’ve read two books so far this year, which is equal to the number of books I read last year (both last year I had read before though) and YOU GET 100% of the credit for that. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for giving me the encouragement to read books that don’t necessarily have a “point” and as you said “exercise that muscle”. I have really been enjoying reading your recommendations and can’t wait to make my own choices too. I literally put a bunch of titles in a wheel online and when I finish I spin the wheel for my next one.

[Daniela-romans]

You should read the Chronicles of Narnia next! They’re easy read, fast paced (since each book is around 100 pages), and I love them💕💗

[khalilahd.]

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow is the book I’m currently reading and I already love it so so much. I love that you pushed through the beginning and ended up enjoying it ❤

Honestly Haley is my go to booktuber, since we have similar tastes I always get book recs from her and not one has disappointed me ❤❤❤

[rubyhamm]

Ok. I just have to say: I love reading, but I also love watching YouTube. When I found your channel, I fell in love with it. Whenever I watch your reading videos, I rekindle my love for reading! The way that you talk about reading, and just watching you read in general, gives me so much motivation to read! Love you, and thanks so much!!

[Gloomm]

Haley, I can see Legendborn in the background. You have to read it ASAP, it's amazing

[sarahcats]

Absolutely loved Babel, it was very much a top book for me, love the writing style. You started talking about Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and I checked my library holds to see when it was coming and realized I read it last month and already couldn't remember reading it. I enjoyed it while I was reading it but already could not remember the story so, not quite a 5-star read for me.

[yellowhouseport]

It's gotten to the point that once Haley announces that a reading vlog video is coming out I am literally counting down the hours 😭 I love them so much

[sitka]

long slow fantasy books with a big ol’ climax are my favorite type of book. it took me forever to get into them but now when i read anything else i’m like… mmmn does not hit as much! slow buildups inched their way into my heart without me noticing and now it feels like they’re never going to leave

[Goheck]

you should do a video where you go to local bookstores and ask the employees to show you their favorite book and then read/give us your review of each book!
