You should read Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Or you NEED to read Good Omens. It is a hilarious book and it have very good characters.
Hey there, just stumbled into your vlog/book review channel, it's a very new concept to me, i've never seen anybody did a book review on youtube before, how odd, guess I've always turned to a more traditional written reviews. Anyway, I'm liking your videos, cause u're talking abt books, plus the things on your video like those book details on the side is kinda cool, so I'm subscribing you weeee...=D
I really hope you'll read more new releases this year! It's exciting for viewers to get reviews of newly released books, so we'll know if we should get them or not.
And of course I'm hoping you'll review them on your channel too :) Or you could just write a review on goodreads.
I would love to see a review of "cinder", "incarnate", or "article 5", which are all January 2012 releases.
I read Looking for Alaska in Dec. and I hated it =/, I don't understand why so many people liked it, too much drinking, and smoking 2 things I hate where so much part of the book i almost didn't finish the book =/, i did not see why the Pudge loved Alaska, all the charters i found annoying =/
Could you review the book Divergent by Veronica Roth? It's a dystopian based book, and the first one in a yet to come series. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on it.
You need to read 'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close' ! It's my first book of 2012 that I have finished, and I'm so glad it was. It was beautifully written.
your list had great books (personally, I didn't like The Red Pyramid. I found it childish and boring compared to Percy Jackson). I've read most of them and those that I haven't are on my to-read list. Fahrenheit 451 is a great book. I had to read it for school and I was one of the only people who actually liked it.
Your videos are so my style! I very rarely find a YouTuber who has the same book taste as me! I love your videos! I have never read John Green, do you have any recommendations as a first read?
After reading the Harry Potter series I listened to the audio, so good! It really helped to absorb the story better and Jim Dale narrates and he is amazing.
Freaking Loved this video. Your videos are just fantastic. I liked the standout points. I am reading Harry Potter in 2012 !!! I just finished the first book.
I think you need to read Graceling and Fire by Kristen Cashore. You've said you really like companion books, and Fire is the prequel/companion to Graceling. I love both of these so much. People say Fire contains a Mary Sue character, but I disagree and I actually liked it more than Graceling. I just think you might enjoy the books a lot. :) Great vid btw!
Haha, great resolutions! I should join you on less procrsatination, I love to procrastinate! And I don't even understand Twitter, it has the same feeling to me as standing in the middle of the room and everybody talking at the same time. I just want to drop to the floor and crawl out into the hall...Yeah, that's how socially well adjusted I am ;)
Great picks! Will have to check out game of thrones. And omg I, too, tend to experience things long after everyone else has. My recent obsession with to 80's and early 90's movies being an example of this. Yes, I hadn't seen most of them until now.
Oh my gosh... I've had Fahrenheit 451 for years now, but lost motivation to read it once I got home with it in my hand... but since you've mentioned it. I want to read it now, yay!
I've read John Green's Fault in Our Stars my first John Green I have paper towns that's on my next list to read. I read it in day love it although it was kinda of sad!
Haha amazing video Pricilla!! Your dedication to your channel, subscribers, and quality of videos you put out continues to astound me! :) And I love your little logo at the end.
I'm excited to pick up my first John Green at Indigo soon, I always end up buying other books over his, but I'll definatley get maybe Will Grayson,Will Grayson cause I want a happy readXD lol, and may I highly suggest "Legend" by Marie Lu, great dystopian book:)
i read looking for alaska, at first i was like.. i don't get it, it's a good book, but everyone has talked about it so much and given it such good reviews i expected it to be better. but as i kept reading it just kept getting better and better.
it actually really moved me, and ah. just so wonderful.
Does your camera do video for a set mount of time? For example, I have the Nikon d90 camera and it only films 5min videos. So I have to film many in a row and edit them all together. Just wondering if your camera has the same feature.
I read my first John Green book a few days ago and it was "Looking For Alaska". I loved it! Yes, it surpassed all of my expectations :) I can't wait to recieve "The Fault in Our Stars" in the mail. Procrastination is my worst enemy XD I tried not procrastinating in the beginning of the year but it didn't stick. SO happy to hear you are enjoying "Fahrenheit 451"! It's an amazing book :) Great video, as usual.
Loving your videos. I appreciate how sweet, short and to the point they are yet very informative and helpful. Def. added some to my reading list. Have a great weekend. :)
For John Green week, I started Will Grayson, Will Grayson. I love it! Sadly, I had to put it down because I have a lot to read for college, but I can't wait to finish it! Great video as always! I'm really loving the quality and layout. Great job! :D
I read my first John Green book and I chose "Looking for Alaska"! OMG I loved it!!! :) Couldn't put the book down! Didn't think it was going to be a sad book....but I was sadly mistaken! Loved all the pranks and shenanigans! haha :)
PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS. YOU WILL KISSED BY THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMMOROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE.NOW YOUVE STARTED READING THIS. DO NOT STOP. THIS IS SO FREAKY
1.say your name 10 times
2.now say you moms name 5 times.
3.say your your crushes name 3 times.
4.Paste this to 3 other songs. If you do this your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday. But if you read this and do not paste this,then you will have very bad luck
One of my resolutions is to read the LOTR series as well. I have never read them so you are not alone there. My other resolution is to read more YA believe it or not. I do not read a lot of YA but it is something that I want to do as there are a lot of great books in that genre :) Great video!
i haven't seen the LOTR movies either, or read the books. i need to get on that! Oh, and I picked up my first John Green book last week, I started reading it yesterday I really like his writing style, so I think I am going to really enjoy it. I got An Abundance of Katherines btw!
@illricky Most of the time I read sitting on my bed. I do change sitting positions (or even lay on my back). If I ever get too comfortable, I start to fall asleep :P Not good! lol
LOTR movies are amazing. The books are too, but they might be a bit difficult to get through. I read them when I was about fourteen and once you get into them they're a great read, but they took me quite some time to read. I suggest reading something else after each one. Also, I skipped over some of the really long songs and stuff. But it was good :D Also, I love your glasses.
Dude, good luck with Lord of the Rings. That book is pretty hard to get through, I'm not gonna lie. But the movies are ABSOLUTELY EPIC. Favourite ever. And whhhuuut~ Beatboxing?! That is so cool (and random). Maybe you can do a Beatbox Intro!! That would be kickass. My resolution is to start & finish more YA series. 'Cos I usually read more adult types. I realized I'm missing out on alot. LOL! =)
@thereadables : Can I be honest with you? I love your videos . I love books and I think videos like yours should have more views then makeup tutorials .
My 2012 resolution is to make a youtube chanel which i've done the intro to already. It be great if you subscribed :D I'm doing my chanel on a mix of things: music, books, films, tv shows, etc. So, it won't be all on books; sorry :(
Hi, sounds you had a fun year. Sorry I missed "John Green Week", I'll be sure to catch up on it. Anyway those sound like some good resolutions for this year. Late last night I started read "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", I'm still on the prologue.
Great video! :) Nice picks for 2011! One of my few reading resolution for 2012 is to read A Game of Thrones, and now I really want to read it.
I read The Lord of The Rings when I was like, 12 I think, and I loved it. It can be a bit slow at times, but if you get through that I think you'll love it. Plus the LoTR movies are EPIC!
Just finished Monsters of Men. READ IT! Amazing end to the series, brilliant ending, i can't wait for the films. I no he won't, because it would be compromising such a good trilogy, but i just want him to write more of them, :(.
@themopmd I WILL! XD I If they ever did make the movie adaptation, It would be really interesting to see how they'd execute it. Especially the noise, and such.
I actually read 2 JG books, Looking for Alaska and WGWG. I found TFIOS SIGNED at Sam's! John read the first two chapters (<3) to me :3 It's fantastic.
Great resolutions, especially A Clash Of Kings! Love that series.
If you're looking to broaden your genre horizons, BookMonkey is doing a great 2012 book challenge called 'Around The Stacks In How Many Ways'. It's on blogspot if you fancy having a quick peek. (Can't get the link to work here :s)
Also, re procrastinating, "Getting Things Done" by David Allen is a great book. Nothing ground breaking, but great to have it all written down in one place sometimes! :)
i ordered 'the fault in our stars' on thursday and i can't wait till it arrives (10 days at least, i live in indonesia)! i reaaaally hope that the book is worth it :) heard alot of positive things about the author.
I just finished the hobbit this month. The movie is coming out on my birthday and i have the entire series so it was time. I read fahrenheit 451 it was awesome. My goal is to not do numbered challenges because it put pressure on me and i found myself reading books that were okay but were short. Another goal is to read bigger and definately better books. I like your new videos they are totally awesome.
I read looking for alaska, because i wanted to start with the first one that he wrote! And it was so so good! i read it in like a day! and i absolutely loved the story! can't wait till TFiOS! Is it good?? :)
I need to complete LOTR too. I read 'The Hobbit' and I think you should read this book too. Its fantastic. I completed 'The Fellowship of the Ring', half way through 'The Two Towers' now. Hope to complete them soon. I absolutely love the movies and love the books too. My 2012 resolution is to read Game of Thrones. Have heard its awesome. For John Green week I picked 'Paper Towns' and it was amazing. Will read 'Looking for Alaska' next.
Guess who's also got reading AND watching the Lord of the Rings on their resolutions for 2012 too? ME! You're not alone on that, Priscilla! (And Monsters of Men, I have to read that too. And Eon, and the Monstrumologist!)
You are brilliant! A astoundingly good novel I would recommend to you is. "The Knight's Circus by Erin Morgenstern". This book blends all grammatical person types: first, second and third grammatical person. This book does second person narrative very well; which is rare in fiction. It will engross you very quickly. Also, here is a bonus; one of my favorite websites for Photography. 500px.com. Enjoy!!:)
I was watching this and thinking to myself, "Huh I wonder if she's read Game of Thrones?" Because I am currently reading this series and am OBSESSED with everything about it. SURPRISE it was in your top picks!!! So happy to hear your commentary on it.
if you're going to read lord of the rings you should try and squeeze in the hobbit while you're at it. It's not too long and it's fabulous! plus obviously the first part of the film comes out in December! yay!
@awalktoremember YES! They are very worth your time. I have not read abundance of Kathriens but I have read Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns. Paper Towns is amazing!
Omg I always discover things 10 years after everyone too! Like I just discovered the tv show Supernatural and it's on it's 7th season. I'm glad I'm not the only one in this time warp!
If you like Game of Thrones you should definitely should check out Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. And don't feel bad for not reading Lord of the Rings... I haven't read them or the last three Harry Potter books.
These are some really good book choices! I need to catch up and read the novels that you've mentioned that I haven't read already. I'm loving the new editing in your videos! I didn't know that it was possible for your videos to get any better than they were before, and you proved me wrong! :) haha. I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
A Game of Thrones was my favourite from 2011 as well! :D I plan to read A Clash of Kings this year, too!
Btw, your videos are awesome, and I don't think they could get any better. Do you alter the lighting when you edit your videos? They all seem to have a purplish tint :P Oh, and you'll LOVE The Lord of the Rings.
i have looking for alaska, paper towns and abundance of katherines i never read his books so i have to ask are they incredible? i have a resolution to read 200 books this year so i wanna know if he is worth the read
I thought I was the only person who has heard of Sherman Alexie, I have the book The Toughest Indian in the World by him.

Hi, sounds you had a fun year. Sorry I missed "John Green Week", I'll be sure to catch up on it. Anyway those sound like some good resolutions for this year. Late last night I started read "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", I'm still on the prologue.

Great video! :) Nice picks for 2011! One of my few reading resolution for 2012 is to read A Game of Thrones, and now I really want to read it.
I read The Lord of The Rings when I was like, 12 I think, and I loved it. It can be a bit slow at times, but if you get through that I think you'll love it. Plus the LoTR movies are EPIC!

Just finished Monsters of Men. READ IT! Amazing end to the series, brilliant ending, i can't wait for the films. I no he won't, because it would be compromising such a good trilogy, but i just want him to write more of them, :(.

@themopmd I WILL! XD I If they ever did make the movie adaptation, It would be really interesting to see how they'd execute it. Especially the noise, and such.

Great resolutions, especially A Clash Of Kings! Love that series.
If you're looking to broaden your genre horizons, BookMonkey is doing a great 2012 book challenge called 'Around The Stacks In How Many Ways'. It's on blogspot if you fancy having a quick peek. (Can't get the link to work here :s)
Also, re procrastinating, "Getting Things Done" by David Allen is a great book. Nothing ground breaking, but great to have it all written down in one place sometimes! :)

I just finished the hobbit this month. The movie is coming out on my birthday and i have the entire series so it was time. I read fahrenheit 451 it was awesome. My goal is to not do numbered challenges because it put pressure on me and i found myself reading books that were okay but were short. Another goal is to read bigger and definately better books. I like your new videos they are totally awesome.

I need to complete LOTR too. I read 'The Hobbit' and I think you should read this book too. Its fantastic. I completed 'The Fellowship of the Ring', half way through 'The Two Towers' now. Hope to complete them soon. I absolutely love the movies and love the books too. My 2012 resolution is to read Game of Thrones. Have heard its awesome. For John Green week I picked 'Paper Towns' and it was amazing. Will read 'Looking for Alaska' next.

@thereadables
You are brilliant! A astoundingly good novel I would recommend to you is. "The Knight's Circus by Erin Morgenstern". This book blends all grammatical person types: first, second and third grammatical person. This book does second person narrative very well; which is rare in fiction. It will engross you very quickly. Also, here is a bonus; one of my favorite websites for Photography. 500px.com. Enjoy!!:)

if you're going to read lord of the rings you should try and squeeze in the hobbit while you're at it. It's not too long and it's fabulous! plus obviously the first part of the film comes out in December! yay!

If you like Game of Thrones you should definitely should check out Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. And don't feel bad for not reading Lord of the Rings... I haven't read them or the last three Harry Potter books.

These are some really good book choices! I need to catch up and read the novels that you've mentioned that I haven't read already. I'm loving the new editing in your videos! I didn't know that it was possible for your videos to get any better than they were before, and you proved me wrong! :) haha. I thoroughly enjoyed this video.

A Game of Thrones was my favourite from 2011 as well! :D I plan to read A Clash of Kings this year, too!
Btw, your videos are awesome, and I don't think they could get any better. Do you alter the lighting when you edit your videos? They all seem to have a purplish tint :P Oh, and you'll LOVE The Lord of the Rings.
