Hiiya! I just started this channel,its all about books (: Like book reviews, and many other things i created for my channel ! Check me out! Also great video (:
Ella Enchanted was so amazing. <3 I don't know if it is in the next one or not, but if you haven't read it, I feel like you would like the Inkheart trilogy. Very fantasy/adventure. A bit more of a heavy read because of the length, but they are worth it.
Did u know there's a new-ish movie for Avalon high? Check it out, they sort of changed though and I just loved Ella Enchanted too I mean I still love it :)
omg i used to love the wolf tower books and i donated them because my book collection was way to big at the time and i had no storage and i forgot the title i only knew what they where about. thanks for showing them now i can get them back in my collection :)
I was so surprised how many of these books I had read. I love Tamora Pierce, I remember reading her books in middle school and wanting so be just like Alanna (I'm 21 now so this was 8-9 years ago). This video totally made me want to re-read a lot of these books :)
Ella Enchanted is AMAZING. And the movie...just EW. Another nothing like the book movie. But <3 Tamora Pierce and all her books about Tortal even in my late teens.
I just finished reading that in my 6th Block English Class. We were studying medieval times. I loved the book. But all of the boys in my class were being imature when it came to the brithing parts. And because I am mature, and no one else in my class is, they laughed when they would be reading along and the teacher would change Hell to Heck or Damn to Dang or Darn.
Imsturiosity has struck once more. I love yor personality and just how you make my day. Keep up the good work.
Have you read the Maximum Ride series? I know it seems kind of childish but it's A FREAKING MAZING! The main character Max kicks mutant butt! Ii really think you should read them...They're by James Patterson
Somehow I jumped from elementary school books to adult fantasy. Redwall (which is usually put in both adult fantasy and YA), and the Pendragon Cycle by Lawhead, David Eddings books. I read some YA, like the Chronicles of Prydain for instance, and a Series of Unfortunate Events, the Lost Years of Merlin, Harry Potter obviously, Artemis Fowl, the Bartimaeus trilogy, Eragon, etc. But they were never really the girly books. So thus in my early 20s I'm finding myself catching up on the girly ones!
I read Ascension and loved it but could never find the sequels, and had forgotten about it until this video. So thanks for reminding me, and now I'll have to get them. I also feel like I read a lot of these books while in elementary school/got from book riots, but I'm now a senior in university so that was quite a while ago and I don't exactly remember.
I was so excited to see Tamora Pierce books on your shelf! She is one of my favorite authors. I'm looking forward to getting her newest book, Mastiff.
Love, love, love Ella Enchanted. I've read it so so many times. Almost as many times as I've reread Harry Potter. I liked the movie although they didn't follow the book at all. Book are always so much better.
i didn't read a lot of fantasy fic as a young teen, but I'm getting more into it now in college. I like reading YA still because it's an entertaining and relaxing read. thanks SO much for doing this video! i'm always looking for more recommendations
Is it sad that I can tell that the books on your left (well your right my left) are The Claidi Journals! At least I think that's what they are I haven't read them since Junior High so i might be wrong on this. In which case I look like an idiot lol but I'm pretty sure that those are Wolf Wing, Wolf Tower, Wolf Star, and Wolf Princess.
At that age I was reading mostly books that revolved around horses; the Saddle Club and Thoroughbred series were my favourite. I also loved the Unicorns of Balinor! The Shakespeare Stealer trilogy was pretty much the start of my love affair with elizabethan history. A few months ago I went through my books and got rid of a lot of them, including my Tamora Pierce series, and now I am regretting that because you've reminded me how awesome they are!
Ella Enchanted and The Claudi journals are my fav! I can't wait for part 2 because I saw Of Two Minds in there and it was impossible to find the 2nd and 3rd book when I was a kid (sold out even on amazon then).
ooomg tamora Pierce, i have read all of her books, but Protector of the Small was my all time favorite, i was just in love with Nelan, i was so sad when the book ended and Kel and Nelan wasn't together so sad XD
I just love Kel as a person, and Pierce really know how to make good heros and they just make you fall in love with them, my all time favorit books! (after the Harry Potter books :O )
Books like "The Watcher" by Grace Monroe and "When she was bad" by Jonathan Nasaw really got me reading. Murder mystery and Illness, now i prefer fantasy based titles, but still love the other style of reading :)
Oh I almost forgot! I was wondering if you watch Once Upon A Time? It's a great twist to fairytales. If you don't watch it, I highly recommend. If you do, can you tell me what you think about it?
I read Beauty when I was like 10 and I LOVED it! i couldn't find it from there forward... and now to see it on here... my childhood just flashed right in front of my eyes!
I don't know if you get to this in your part 2 video, but did you ever read the Warrior Heir/Wizard Heir/Dragon Heir books by Cinda Williams Chima? They're absolutely fantastic YA novels that kind of take off from the War of the Roses history. So good!
When I was in junior high or early on in high school, I really enjoyed Poison by Chris Wooding. I'd love to read it again and see what I think after my college English courses.
Books I've read from 13-now(19) are Harry Potter of course, The Hunger Games, all of John Green's books, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Warriors by Erin Hunter, I read Ella Enchanted too, but I was in 6th grade, and I just bought The Maze Runner and going to read that soon! And I have a really long reading list that I have to go through too. But I can't do any reading until winter break because tomorrow is the start of dead week at Sac State, and I have to study for my tests and finals.
My fave categories of books ARE sci-fi and fantasy/fiction (but not realistic fiction or historical fiction *shudders* And especially not... non-fiction! *cowers in a shadowy corner*) We have so much in common!
Tamora Pierce were/still are some of my favorites. I have reread those series so many times! This has given me a ton of books to read. YA is a nice break from the blah reading of college texts.
Which is your favorite out of all of these? I need to get into a good book SERIES. I only like series cause then I have things to look forward to while I'm reading. But please answer this.
You were taking books out and not putting them back...was driving me crazy! You have mostly paperback books I see, I'm a hard cover nut, but yours desplayed nicely. I have a kindle now, sooo much easier! All my favorite books all at my reach at once! I too have a lot at my parents house, but now with the modern storage I can read whatever I want whenever I want!! With exception of a few...Harry Potter :/ I have never read Ella Enchanted! I am reading Game of Thrones now :D
my love of ella enchanted knows no bounds. i've read most of these books actually (i'm seventeen) and it makes me really happy to see that other people are as big YA fantasy nerds as I am :)
ON'T READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS YOU WILL BE KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DON'T POST THIS TO AT LEAST THREE VIDEOS OR YOU WILL DIE WITHIN TWO DAYS NOW UV STARED READING THIS SO DON'T STOP THIS IS SO SCARY PUT THIS ON AT LEAST FIVE VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS THIS IS SO SCARE CUZ IT ACTUALLY Wrks...
OMG the Unicorns of Balinor! I read those when I was like eight!! I also got them from the book orders. :) Dug them up out of my closet last week, actually.
In fairness, it would be hard for "The Black Cauldron" book to NOT be better than the movie. That disaster almost brought Disney down. Also, did you ever read any of the Redwall books? Probably my first, favorite fantasy series
@whitneyleemilam That's totally understandable, though too bad. They really are first class fantasy. How about the Discworld books? No mice there, as far as I can remember (well, except for Death of Rats). And now I really hope you've read the books, or that last line sound exceptionally creepy.
When I started this video I was waiting for you to talk about Trickers Choice because I saw them in the background. Tamora Pierce is my favorite Arthur. All of the books are so good! I'm so glad you like them!!1
Over my lifetime I think I've owned at least five copies of Ella Enchanted. My mom and sister (who are teachers) went to a conference thing and had lunch with the author and my sister got a signed copy of it, which I covet. It is necessary for you to know this.
I am a huge fan of fantasy too!!! Have you heard/read the Sword of Truth series?!? I'm so drawn into the books I can put them down! I think you'll really like them! :) it is written by Terry Goodkind. I know a lot of people will recommend new booms to you but please read a chapter or two of the first book and you'll be pulled in ^__^ happy reading!
Oh, Blue Bloods. :) Definitely my guilty pleasure, too. I finished the 6th book, Lost in Time, today actually. I still love them. :) I always pick up the new ones thinking they'll be awful, but I'm always sucked in.
@Jannabananaman I re-read the first two a few years back and was shocked to find Duke Roger........really attractive. 10-year-old me was so not down for that.
Wow, we read so much of the same books. I read Beauty and Spindle's End by RObin Mckinley. LOVED THEM!! I read all of the Tamora Pierce books from the Circle of Magic and Squire. I read a lot of her books. I'm about to watch part 2, lol.
Jesus Christmas! That's alot of books! My bookshelf doesn't even compare! Lol! Great video Whitney, it was nice to see a little part of your teen years =)
I LOVE THE BLACK CAULDRON.It's my favorite Disney movie. I'm going to pick up the books as soon as possible :3 Added a lot of books to my shelfari account - can't wait for part 2! Thanks Whitney! <3
All of my books (for the most part) look like they are brand new. For me its easy to keep them that way because one of my biggest pet peeves is dirty/messed up books. Take great care of them, dont bend the covers when you read them, dont fold down pages, keep them in a bookself unless you are reading them, dont put them in your backpack or bag unless you are positive they wont be moved around and crushed, dont eat when you are reading them...or just be really careful if you do.
@michalaslife that may be your pet peeve, but for me I feel as if I haven't read a book very thoroughly if I'm not asking questions, underlining important quotes or words I don't know. When my books look beaten down, I know I have read that book very well. Books I want to keep in mint condition have their own proper place for me.
@hermionegranger024 that's cool also :) I admire people who can read so intently and don't care so much about keeping their books in mint condition! Some people had asked about it though so I thought this might help. I saw your comment about Once Upon A Time... Isn't it so good??
@michalaslife Haha well I think it's just about how people are comfortable reading. Doesn't demerit any reader, just means you don't mind if your book takes a beating. I am very careful with my movies. They need to be in their case and if there is more than one movie, must be in order. It does help though! I've been trying to knock the habit of practically tearing apart my books because I read them so much. I absolutely love Once Upon A Time! I love how they put their own twist :)
@hermionegranger024 yeah I agree! Yeah the show is really good :) I just watched the first two episodes two nights ago and then last night I watched all the rest haha it's so good! Do you know what channel/time it comes on? I watched them online so I'm not sure
@michalaslife It is amazing! Well for me, it's on channel 7 on Sundays but I am on pacific time and I live in California. I don't know what yours would be but it's on Sundays on ABC! If you go on the abc website, it'll tell you when you can watch your favorite shows!
@hermionegranger024 oh ok, thanks! I live in South Carolina haha sometimes I wish I lived in California because all the cool people like Whitney live there :)
@michalaslife Oh well that's awesome! Haha California IS amazing and I do live near a lot of people like Whitney, Luke, Joey, and Ingrid but it's not like I see them every day! I've only seen Joey once from afar at a Game Stop but I was too shy to approach him.
@hermionegranger024 Haha just the idea of living near them all is cool to me :) especially since when they do live gaming and stuff..its like SUPER late at night for me so I miss it a lot. That's SO cool that you saw Joey! I'm jealous ;)
Ella Enchanted was my fave too. :)

Which is your favorite out of all of these? I need to get into a good book SERIES. I only like series cause then I have things to look forward to while I'm reading. But please answer this.

You were taking books out and not putting them back...was driving me crazy! You have mostly paperback books I see, I'm a hard cover nut, but yours desplayed nicely. I have a kindle now, sooo much easier! All my favorite books all at my reach at once! I too have a lot at my parents house, but now with the modern storage I can read whatever I want whenever I want!! With exception of a few...Harry Potter :/ I have never read Ella Enchanted! I am reading Game of Thrones now :D

In fairness, it would be hard for "The Black Cauldron" book to NOT be better than the movie. That disaster almost brought Disney down. Also, did you ever read any of the Redwall books? Probably my first, favorite fantasy series
Bramtic 2 months ago 4
@Bramtic as a musophobe I always hated the Redwall books on principle...never actually read them; too terrifying
whitneyleemilam 2 months ago 3
@whitneyleemilam That's totally understandable, though too bad. They really are first class fantasy. How about the Discworld books? No mice there, as far as I can remember (well, except for Death of Rats). And now I really hope you've read the books, or that last line sound exceptionally creepy.

Over my lifetime I think I've owned at least five copies of Ella Enchanted. My mom and sister (who are teachers) went to a conference thing and had lunch with the author and my sister got a signed copy of it, which I covet. It is necessary for you to know this.

I am a huge fan of fantasy too!!! Have you heard/read the Sword of Truth series?!? I'm so drawn into the books I can put them down! I think you'll really like them! :) it is written by Terry Goodkind. I know a lot of people will recommend new booms to you but please read a chapter or two of the first book and you'll be pulled in ^__^ happy reading!

Whitney, you have SUCH great taste in books! I've read a lot of these and now have ideas for new reads :)
michalaslife 2 months ago
All of my books (for the most part) look like they are brand new. For me its easy to keep them that way because one of my biggest pet peeves is dirty/messed up books. Take great care of them, dont bend the covers when you read them, dont fold down pages, keep them in a bookself unless you are reading them, dont put them in your backpack or bag unless you are positive they wont be moved around and crushed, dont eat when you are reading them...or just be really careful if you do.
michalaslife 2 months ago
@michalaslife that may be your pet peeve, but for me I feel as if I haven't read a book very thoroughly if I'm not asking questions, underlining important quotes or words I don't know. When my books look beaten down, I know I have read that book very well. Books I want to keep in mint condition have their own proper place for me.
hermionegranger024 2 months ago
@hermionegranger024 that's cool also :) I admire people who can read so intently and don't care so much about keeping their books in mint condition! Some people had asked about it though so I thought this might help. I saw your comment about Once Upon A Time... Isn't it so good??
michalaslife 2 months ago
@michalaslife Haha well I think it's just about how people are comfortable reading. Doesn't demerit any reader, just means you don't mind if your book takes a beating. I am very careful with my movies. They need to be in their case and if there is more than one movie, must be in order. It does help though! I've been trying to knock the habit of practically tearing apart my books because I read them so much. I absolutely love Once Upon A Time! I love how they put their own twist :)
hermionegranger024 2 months ago
@hermionegranger024 yeah I agree! Yeah the show is really good :) I just watched the first two episodes two nights ago and then last night I watched all the rest haha it's so good! Do you know what channel/time it comes on? I watched them online so I'm not sure
michalaslife 2 months ago
@michalaslife It is amazing! Well for me, it's on channel 7 on Sundays but I am on pacific time and I live in California. I don't know what yours would be but it's on Sundays on ABC! If you go on the abc website, it'll tell you when you can watch your favorite shows!

@hermionegranger024 Haha just the idea of living near them all is cool to me :) especially since when they do live gaming and stuff..its like SUPER late at night for me so I miss it a lot. That's SO cool that you saw Joey! I'm jealous ;)
