  • I just finished reading city of thieves, and really enjoyed it.

    Thanks for the recommendation!

  • Anyone seen any video reviews or read any online reviews about the e-book

    April Curran Meets the Vampire of Crimson Cove High School?

  • I loved the clockwork angel book i had just finished it and i cant wait for the second book to come out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)

  • I'm finishing this up and am thoroughly enjoying it but I can't believe the next one is coming out in Dec, such a long wait :(

    Great review.

  • Would you have to read the mortal instrument series before clockwork angle ??? or are they totally different :D

  • @OB1Emobi They are separate series, but I would read Mortal Instruments 1st.

  • @TheThirdShift Thanks Im reading Game of thrones and have bought the hunger games so ill get round to it ...i have the summer cant wait till the end of June when my exams are over :) love the vids xx

  • Comment removed

  • Looooove lit chats! :D

  • Hey, In one of your videos you said u enjoyed The Hunger Games. I read the trilogy and absolutely loved it. The Maze Runner is a book that in my opinion is almost just as good. You should check it out :)

  • I like Paul Auster!

  • You should consider reading The Gargoyle! It's a book I'm reading right now and it's truly interesting. Just briefly I'll explain. The story is about a burn victim who meets his true love in a psych ward. She remembers clearly there past life in the thirteen hundreds and explains it to him. She was also a nun living in a monastery. Her life and his really intertwine together. The book reference's Dante's inferno a lot. It's so good, I think you'd love it Julia. Maybe you already read it? :)

  • I have been looking at this book everytime I go into the store. It looks so interesting. Haha, you have made my mind up :). Thank you!

  • you should try perfume by patrick suskind. it was really really good.

    

  • Kennst du die His Dark Materials Trilogie von Philip Pullman? Ist auch young adult fiction und hat eine sehr liebenswerte und hintergründige Story. Teil 1 wurde glaube ich als "Goldener Kompass" (??) verfilmt - kann man sich aber schenken....

  • danke für den tipp! city of thieves ist das beste buch, das ich seit langem gelesen habe und kolya ist so ein toller charakter, man schließt ihn direkt ins herz! :) großartige geschichte!

  • I don't know if anyone has mentioned this because I I don't want to look through all the responses but I am reading a book series called "Thirst" by Christopher Pike. I used to read Christopher Pike when I was a teenager and he writes young adult fiction. I am about 3/4 way through the book and I love it so far it isn't fantasy exactly but it does have vampires in it and has a very interesting storyline so far. You might like it too!

  • I love reading. Do more videos like these!

  • If you want something fantastical, the Nightside series by Simon Green is amazing and the full series is available. It's about a private eye who works in a secret supernatural city within london. It's not in typical privet eye style though (I'm not into detective stories). It is adult fiction and definately worth a read, the first is called "something from the nightside". I am about half way through the series and totally adicted to it.

  • Hey Julia, do you like Paolo Coehlo? i just started reading 11 minutes and it seems very promising :)

  • I love that you don't like Twilight :D

  • Clockwork angel is one of my favs at the moment, have you ever read the blue bloods by Melissa de la cruz? I loved that series too

  • One or two books in each video is perfect imo! Love these vids actually, you have great lit taste :)

  • Damn woman, you are looking so amazing xx

  • The immortal instruments are pretty awesome ^_^ I love them soo much! Another author I really enjoy is Maria V Snyder and her Poison study series she also did a follow up series based on a minor character from the first series and its is Fantastic. I'd really recommend checking them out ^_^

  • I'm currently reading the Vladimir Todd series, finishing the 4th book and going to the last. It's young adult and it's about vampires but I really like it, has become one of my favorites.

  • when you said that the boy named Will is a love intrest i giggled because that's the name of the guy I like HAHA

  • Hey, have you read the His Dark Materials books by Philip Pullman? If so, what did you think and could you recommend anything similar? Thanks!

  • great nail polish ))

  • OMG I was crazy for Cassandra Clare's Harry Potter fanfiction!!!

  • your just great.

  • "What is suitable reading for a 30yo?"For me it's the same, too =) I guess that as we were young it was partly for wanting to think of ourselves as older, more mature, to be able to understand all that "heavy" litterature. And now as we're "old", we can have back some of that youth magic by reading fantasy litterature/ watching animations etc. My friend even had a cosplay birthday for her 30th birthday =) These LitChats are great, thanks so much for doing them!

  • In the little book store in my mall the "young adult / Teen" section is chuck full of Twilight and vampire stories.. But I think I'll go visit the store, I've been meaning to start reading again.

  • U should read the my blood approves series

  • A book you might like is After the Leaves Fall by Nicole Baart........

  • I'm just reading the first of the mortal instruments books. It's good. I love it

  • The Mortal Instruments series is pretty good. I really liked the Sweep series by Cate Tiernan, it's another YA series.

  • I think it depends on the length of the book. If you've read a couple that are shorter then definitely combine but if it's a much longer book then I would do just that one in a video. I love what you are doing with this channel. I just got a Nook and am absolutely on the look out for books to load onto it and read! So thank you!

  • keep up the book chats. I love books being recommended to me.

  • I hated twilight too. It was awful

  • I think the best dialogue I've come across in a book so far is "One Day" by David Nicholls - great book, easy read and very enjoyable.

  • wer hat eigentlich den contest gewonnen?

    o:

  • ich habe den ersten Band der Mortal...gelesen. Fand ich nicht sehr gut.

  • war das Buch in einem einfachen Englisch geschrieben? Waren die Dialoge gut verständlich? Möchte gerne mehr englische Bücher lesen! =)

  • @novellover1 Ja sehr einfach finde ich

  • Oh and the mortal instruments is very very good too!

  • Clockwork Angel is one of my favourite books! I love it :)

  • Love these

  • You should read The Summoning, by Kelley Armstrong! It's a really awesome book, I think you might like it! : )

  • The 4th Mortal Instruments book was released on the 5th of this month! At least I'm pretty sure.. lol I still have to go read it. Clockwork Angel didn't look very interesting, but I may pick it up because you gave it a good review =)

  • LOVE all your litchats :D

  • I love your litchats. Thanks to you I finally read the Hunger Games last week, and now I'm done Catching Fire and am just waiting for Mockingjay in the mail!

    I'm also an adult who likes YA fiction...now lol

  • I'm also an adult and love well written YA fiction. I'm definately going to check out Clockwork Angel. Thanks for the review.

  • I LOVE CASSANDRA CLARE! 

  • I think you should check out The Hero and the Crown and The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley, a wonderful read about young women being the heroines and shaping their own destiney. I'm guessing their in a faily distant past but based in a completely fantasy world. They are both related to each other but you needn't read one specifically to understand the other. They are a bit more young adult but still very good read :)

  • Have you read The Hunger Games series? Young adult fiction, kind of sci-fi. Super engaging and smart!

  • read the name of the wind! the next book just came out: the wise man's fear. the first book takes a while to get into, but its really good! :) loveee ur litchats

  • i really enjoyed reading city of thieves too! definitely had some random funny parts that made you laugh :)

  • I love these videos you make, not just talking about makeup and beauty, but on other interests! most of the gurus seem so frivolous to me and you are so advanced =D keep up

  • You should read The Fetch by Laura Whitcomb Im pretty sure there will be a second one though so I advise u to wait till it comes out but it is a Great great young adult book:]

  • Actully, The Clockwork Angel is like the Mortal Instruments series. You should definately read those! and i can't remember if you have read the Hunger Games series? I would say that that series is definately the best YA series that i have read! Definately tied with the Mortal Instruments. Also, the Vampire Academy series is great, don't disregard it just because it has vampire in the title, it's not about that AT ALL. Hope you saw this, love your videos!

  • You should read the book "Briar Rose" by Jane Yolen. It's about a woman who tells her grandchildren the story of Briar Rose, but you learn throughout the book that the story is pretty much one big metaphor for her time in concentration camps.  It's a quick read and I loved it! Also, have you ever read the Inheritance series (Eragon, Eldest, & Brisingr). The last book, Inheritance, comes out in November. I can't wait!

  • I really like when you kinda compile multiple books into these Lit videos. :P

    I'm definitely gonna read Clockwork Angel now.

  • The Clockwork Angel book cover is gorgeous. Have you read The End of Mr Y by Scarlett Thomas? I think you'd also enjoy The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson

  • Since you're into teenfiction read The Uglies series by Scott Westerfield.

  • @HiddenAgenda11 Omg YES!! Loved the Uglies series! Haven't read Extras though...

  • The Mortal Instruments is a fun read, i just finished the fourth installment and it was pretty good. Very different from what i normally read; such as: true crime, history biography, romance,.. and so on. Although Clocwork Angel is Interesting, but i loved it. I can't wait till the next book comes out.

  • I loveeee Cassandra Claree <3

  • Love the Litchats! You have my interest piqued for Clockwork Angel, but I totally agree that it's such a pain to wait for the next book in the series. I'll have to make a list for later. ;)

  • Hmm i'm interested in Clockwork Angel.... :)

  • Julia, you should join goodreads. It's a great site for bibliophiles.

  • Fall of the Giants by Ken Follett is very good. I just finished that and now I am reading World Without End by Ken Follett.

  • lol this was very awesome this is my first time watching a litchat i enjoyed it very much thanks =P. if u havent read it or have ever hear of it u shoiuld totally check out the house of night series. idk if u might like it. its also a vampire series. but i personally think its alot better than twilight lol. its a young adult series right now the authors have 7 books out. its a mother and daughter book. very good so plz whenever u have time i totally recommend that u check it out ^_^

  • Hi Julia, wondering if you have read Carlos Ruiz Zafon's books, they are pretty AMAZING? They are kind of young adult books (at least I think they are). The books are so good that I feel somewhat sucked into them and can't stop reading. Water for Elephants by Sarah Gruen is also a good choice. Thanks for your recommendation, I'll certainly try to find The City of Thieves, I love books that are set in a vintage era!

  • Love LitChat.

    I hadn't heard of City of Thieves before now. And as for Clockwork Angel, it's not a book a would have picked up on my own. However, you've peaked my curiosity. I will definitely be picking up both books.

    two books I've recently read and enjoyed are Rooftops of Tehran by Mahbod Seraji and Lamb by Christopher more (because everyone needs a little brain candy now and again.)

    I'm currently reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht.

  • I really enjoyed this LitChat, I've added these to my reading list they sound very interesting. Thanks

  • I love A Clockwork Angel! And "The Mortal Instruments"! The fourth book actually came out last week! It's called "City of Fallen Angels". I love Cassandra Clare, she's brilliant!

  • I cant decide which of your channels I love best haha, they're SO great :) I LOVED this video, I think I'll read both books!

  • can you please unblocK me from your other channel!! i love your videos but we had a misunderstanding and then you blocked me :\ so it would be so awesome if you could unblock mee!!!! <33333

  • Loveeeeeeeee Clockwork Angel <3 I was one of those people telling you to read it from Twitter.

  • I love your book reeviews so much!

    I don't remember if I already recommended this book or not, so sorry if I did. You should really check out The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly, it's so awesome!

  • that's the point. if something isn't really intelligent- everybody can read it :)

  • you will LOVE the mortal instruments. SO good. I flew through them. I just started Clockwork last night

  • Oh and I love your hair!!

  • I LOVE these videos. Apart from make-up, I love books!

    I'm kinda weird though because I tend to stick with authors... Like Jodi Picoult is my fav author I read all of her books before reading something from another author...then I did the same with Diane Chamberlain.

    Your books are a completely different genre to what I read, but I love the fact it gives me a taste of other book genres without going to purchase them and have to read through them to get the jist of the story.

  • The infernal devices series is the prequel to the mortal instruments. I think the way she has it set up now is that she is going to release a new book in each series intermittently because the plots kind of intertwine

    Another author I love reading is PC Cast. She writes the House of Night series and I recently noticed that she has a series of adult fiction aswell. I haven't read them yet but I picked up the first book in the series a few days ago and I plan on reading it soon! Love your videos!

  • Julie! These are my favorite videos that you do... Please keep them up! 

  • I love watching book reviews on you tube, I'm an adult who doesn't read books but I'd like to. Do you have a set time of day when you read? Do you read everyday? I feel like it would take me a month to read a whole book!

  • i just saw ur vid regarding wt.loss.let me just say that im very proud of what ur doing. its great that ur keeping the dream real and ur staying on the course. i myself am doing the same and i feel cause of ur motivation i feel more charged too. i can only hope that i do just as well. u actually dont look fat-ur as tall as a pillar. where as im a dwarf[5'2] i have a longer journey to go. but watching ur vid made me feel better. i wanted to comment in the past but u blocked me though,

  • Ich finde Twilight ganz und garnicht "dumm", aber da hat ja jeder seine eigene Meinung :)

  • I love Cassandra Clare!You should try reading her The Mortal Instruments series,she's releasing a new book on the series some time next month x

  • i think you should do a vlog on harry potter books

  • The Mortal Instruments is a good series. I hope you like it, I look forward to your Lit Chat about that.

  • I haven't read any young adult fiction for a couple of years, but I had to read "Hunger Games", I found the reading ridiculously easy, I finished the first volume in a day, the story is very catchy, which I hate because I find my time precious and I don't like to waste it on books that wouldn't enlarge my knowledge, so I tried to read it in english but they were so many unknown words and I didn't want to lose the thrill so yeah..

    after this I think I'll get back to my classic stuff lol.

  • I LOVE yout LitChats!! You have a great taste in books and I always like what you recommend!!! Since Im done my semester I FINALLY have free time to do some leisure reading, Im definitely going to check these out!!! Thanks so much for your suggestions!! :)

  • i thought it said "Clockwork Orange" LOL good book but weird lol i think there is also a movie

  • @stefania825 Great book too, read that ages ago!

    

  • Hey Julia, have you ever read the Harry Potter series? I'm 22 and I read everything from classic literature to non-fiction to total fantasy. I know Harry Potter was orignally geared towards children but I've been reading and re-reading it for years because, like you said, its such an easy read and it's very engaging. Just wondering what you thought. Oh, and I hate Twilight too.

  • @xoxLiveYourLifexox I started it once and couldn't get into it at all

  • @xoxLiveYourLifexox I never expected to like Harry Potter so I ignored the books for a long time. I finally decided to see what all the fuss was about and I LOVED all the Harry Potter books. They are indeed VERY engaging and if you are really paying attention there is a spiritual aspect to it. JK Rowling is a genius.

  • Cool Julia! I'll be on the lookout for these 2 books! Meanwhile, I'm about to start on water for elephants as recommended by you. I'm sure I'll enjoy it! Do more book reviews and yeah, you should lump it together.

  • @newrulefarah I enjoyed Water for Elephants :)

  • @clubshaz wow! you did! now, i really want to read it. going to start tonight. can't wait. any other book suggestions?

  • You should read some biographys! They are my fave :)

  • Dont know what all kinds of books you like but i like some sci fi fantasy etc, and sometimes a little romance but u need to check out Gena Showalter and her book series Lords of the Underworld, they are very good to me lol, there is like 8 or 9 so far i dont know if you have heard of them or not. Worth looking at thanks for your book reviews :)

  • I loved Clockwork Angel. <3

  • have you made a litchat about twilight?

  • @Fucoc I did on my main MissChievous channel before I created this channel :) Search for Twilight on my videos there

  • ich liebe deine Büchervideos. Leider lese ich so schrecklich langsam, dass ich immer ewig für Bücher brauche :(

    LG

  • I don't know if you've already said so, but have you read the hunger games?

    if yes, what do you think of the casting?

  • @SamarkandChan Yeah I did a LitChat on it :) I didn't know the full casting has been published! Going to check IMDB right now

  • Hast du schon der Medicus gelesen? Bin grad zum zweiten mal dran und hab mich wieder ganz frisch ins buch verliebt. So eine tolle geschichte. 

  • You should read 'The boy in the striped Pajamas by John Boyne'. It was such a sad, but beautiful book. They recently made a movie based on the book but, It wasn't as good as the book but still very good.

  • I have enjoyed all of the Cassandra Clare books that I have read. I read the Moral Instruments series ( a new book in the series is coming out pretty soon I think..if it hasn't already come out) and I read A Clockwork Angel a few months ago and I also really enjoyed it! You should invest in a kindle or some type of e-reader if you haven't already. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my kindle. I almost love it as much as I love makeup. I never leave home without it!! :) Have a great week!!

  • @alinamarie7 Ereaders are brill :) I love my Sony Ereader.
