[mmmissprincess11]

When you started this I wondered if you'd have Dancing with Dragons cause I loved those books so much, and yes you did!

[potchammy]

I subscribed to you because I watched one of your Hunger Game vids and loved it. Watching your past vids and looking at this one...me and you are exactly alike!

Troy, The Royal Diaries (I loved those when I was little), and a lot of books that I've seen in bookstores but was worried to buy You have in your collection and said they were great! Historical fiction is my favorite to read so I'm gonna be busy getting some of these books lol

[bellabudgie99]

This was an awesome video, I will have to check out some of these books! Thanks! :)

[rhinocerotica]

Your books are all in such good shape! Or maybe I'm just a book killer...

[b0hforfaen]

Serial flashbacks to when I was a kid reading these books! Nostagia alert!

[roseofreality]

[paularbear08]

I would love to see more of your books (:

and I'm interested in reading pretty much EVERY SINGLE book you just showed us ;))

[evolgina]

I kinda freaked when I saw you had the Claire B. Dunkle books. No one I know around here has read them, and they are soo amazing. There's a lot of books on there that I've read, some from the first video I think, but yeah. You have a really awesome collection, and if that's only 15% then wow. lol

[femkex4]

please do another book tour :)

[cookiesandcream12357]

my i reccomend a book? you should read cornelia and the audacious escapades of the somerset sisters! its not fantasy but its still a great book

[LimeIio]

If you haven't read it already you would probably really like The Blood Confession after seeing the whole bottom shelf you have of books lol. I seriously either own or have read in my teens almost all the books you have there including some you didn't mention on your shelf. :) though I lack a lot of the historical fiction but I def love the scifi and fantasy!

[Quesnelle23]

You really should check out The Percy Jackson Series, The Kane Chronicles, and The Heroes of the Olympians series all by Rick Riordan

[ajlovesmusicc]

would love another book tour!

[realbeauty94]

I'm going to read them all....haha I'll let you know how I like them. I've been in a book rut? I haven't been able to find something that catches my attention because I've just read so many. Yet I haven't read any of the books in these tours! Thank you!!

[PenguinPartyTime]

I feel like a literature fan fail right now... Your collection doesn´t even compare to the books I´ve read in all my life u__u

[fiddlepaige123]

[xoxokatniss]

i want to read them all and do more i need more books to read !

[littlesphinx]

"It's good if I own it." :)

[ematj]

I'm guessing you're studying history in college?

[StoryLoverX]

I LOVE this collection!

I definitely need to check some of them out.

[LuluComesFromMars]

[icecoldlily]

@LuluComesFromMars Young adult fantasy

[neonsparkzz11]

Thanks, Whitney, for introducing me to all these books. They sound great, and I'm going to start reading a few.

[bettyiszepic]

Guh, Libba Bray is amazing.

[slashermoviereviews]

soooo. mannnnyyyy. booookkkkkssss!!!! ahhhhhh

[awesomedinosaur13]

Phantom of the opera, FTW :) :D Have you heard of/seen Love never dies? Also, I think you should do a video like this one but with your favorite movies when you were a teen/kid :)

[MrDistrugator]

Good luck with finals Whitney! Looking forward to hearing how it's been going =]

[marinebiologist252]

Do a top 5 book tour. I love reading and yet havent read any here but I am probably gonna read them all.

[Bittness24]

if you like the fairy tale stories then you should watch the tv series Once Upon a Time on abc! it just started so you could catch up really easily!

[KaitlynSykes]

Please do a tour of your books in LA! I'd really like to see it.

[PeetaLovesKatniss]

you shoudl totally do an LA book tour

and then you should do a top 5 book series and review

[lessgraviity]

I've had a couple Margaret George books laying around forever and haven't picked them up yet, think I'll grab them from home when I go back for break. Also, tons of stuff to add to my to-read list! More book videos please!

[kkrocks0607]

You already skipped 2 days! :( Everyday i am excited to see your new videos and then it bums my joy! But i still love you!

[whitneyleemilam]

@kkrocks0607 as I explained in my VALID intro video, I'm in the middle of finals right now

[alencae1]

@whitneyleemilam could you list some of your best books i's like to read some of them

[dannerzme]

@kkrocks0607 It's VALID, not VEID ;)

[ellievlogs]

A few years back I had decided I had grown out of all my childhood things, and donated 80-90% of my childhood books. I really regret it now, I'm jealous you still have so many books/memories.

[SalthawkMusician]

Judging by the subjects, you and I had very similar interests in books. Way back when. I definitely recommend doing more Book Tours. Also, I LOVE Out of Time by Caroline B. Cooney! Great series!

[LostInThoughtLydia]

Sovay by Celia Rees is another good one with a strong heroine :)

Also the Pellinor Saga by Alison Croggon is truly amazing! It's a great slightly epic fantasy that I've read numerous times and definitely recommend :)

[TheBrunetteBarbie19]

I would love to read to books on your shelf :P

[annakjellin]

OMG queen Hatshepsut! I have like a tons of books about her, have you read Child of the morning by Pauline Gedge??

[annakjellin]

do you watch once upon a time? If not, you really should!!

[yourmomssoha]

I was never really into fantasy, with the exception of harry potter, but I want to read about henry VIII

[1239762696]

Have you read "The Two Princesses of Bamarre" ? Best book ever!

It's by Gail Carson Levine... "ella enchanted" :)

[RedneckNinja23]

Hey Whitney, have you read the Ranger's Apprentice series? If not, you should. As in, you should drop everything you're doing right now, go get the whole series, and read them marathon style. They're amazing.

[mrashid45]

do you like king arthur-y things? if so, recommend some books and things please! <3

[coloraddict11]

@mrashid45 read I am Morgan le Fey! by Nancy Springer.

[mrashid45]

@coloraddict11 I read that! loved it!

[minishiva]

I would love if you did a book tour for your L.A. books.

[MsForever871]

do another one please!!!!

[animeluvsinger]

I have Wicked and would LOVE to read Son of A Witch!

BTW: has anyone heard of the children's novels "My Sister the Ghost"?? I LOVED those in 4th grade! My parents got me autographed copies and she wrote a message for me in each of the 4 books!

[melonsoda24]

Hey! Have you or will you ever write your own book?

[bellabradley4ever]

Please, please do an LA book tour!! x

[VampTimeLord]

I want more books... I need a nice pretty shelf to put them on... Yeah. Do a video on what is in your place at the moment. I want to see :D

[nuuhkusakura]

Please do your college bookshelf tour, I'd really like to know what else you recommend. There were so many books in your shelf that I had wanted to read when they came out, but later forgot about. I'm glad you refreshed my memory : )

[RaisedByPurebloods]

I was such an Aincent Egypt/Giza freak. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one.

Whitney, you've just opened up my nerdy little heart with this video.

[pandabear27100]

you love fantasy! haha but fantasy is good because it makes reading more interesting i think

[iMayEatYourPeople]

waaaahhh!! i love books and i love you! thank you jesus for the greatness that are books and the Royal Diaries! goody! :DDD <3

[waigurl19]

I was terrible when it came to reading as a kid, but I'm really into it now (I guess I'm kind of making up for what I've missed, in a way) so I'm always looking for new books to read. You happen to have very similar taste to me, so this was perfect. I'd love to see your LA books. Besides, it will be interesting to see how your taste has progressed as you've grown up. :)

[Elleira92]

i wish i had read as many books as you!!! do an LA book show and tell please :)

[sparklewingsandmagic]

I feel like buying so many books now!

[TheAnnieAngela]

Yes! Show us more books! (:

[jayeldubya]

I bet you would like the Daughters of the Moon series by Lynne Ewing. I have so many books it would take me forever to go through all of them.

[Jannabananaman]

Have you read the Bayern books by Shannon Hale? Those are amazing and I feel like they are books you would have read.

[nadalroxxoxo41]

please do another book tour! this was amazing and super interesting!!

[kelseyfarrar]

I'd love to see more of your books, seriously I made a list as you were going through of the ones I haven't read.

[waigurl19]

@kelseyfarrar Good to know I wasn't the only one doing that. I know I'll be making a lot of trips to the library soon.

[kelseyfarrar]

@waigurl19 I know right! :)

[faerietaleredux]

Huh; I just finished reading Enchantress from the Stars. Would have enjoyed it more if I didn't despise Elana's father. Probably not a normal reaction since he's one of the "good" guys, and supposed to be a type of wise sage. But I just felt like he was the ultimate manipulator.

Anyway, I love book tours. I imagine anyone who's a bibliophile does. :) Thanks very much.

[whitneyleemilam]

@faerietaleredux hahaha that's actually why I LIKED Elana's father so much as a character. The "wise and universally respected leader of the 'good' guys who is secretly a Machiavellian mastermind puppeteering everyone behind the scenes" archetype (I call it 'The Dumbledore') is my favorite

[ilyarry]

I wish I could go back in time and befriend you because we would have gotten along so well as kids. Did you ever read books where the characters went into an attic or something and played dress up and when they put on a certain dress they were ~magically~ taken to a period in history? I don't remember anything else about them but as a child I loved those. Please do an LA book tour!

[whitneyleemilam]

@ilyarry YES! MAGIC TREE HOUSE!

[Jesiah14parv]

@whitneyleemilam the magic tree house books happened when the kids would point to a page of a book. no through dress up.

[GeorgiasPrincess]

@ilyarry They were reading books, not dresses, in a tree house...

[ilyarry]

@GeorgiasPrincess No it wasn't Magic Tree House that I was talking about but I did read a few of those. c; The one with the attic and dresses was actually the Magic Attic Club. Still, both were really good children's books that I remember from elementary school.

[GeorgiasPrincess]

@ilyarry Oh :D ok I guess thats cool too. Sorry

[kloklo1274]

I LOVE your book rec videos. keep it up!

[JustAnotherFoo]

The girl on the cover of the book "Zel" reminds me of Jennifer Lawrence in a way

[Gemzmith]

Please do a book tour for you LA books!!

[seahorse7fly]

I love your book tour videos-now I need to go out and buy some more books to stock up my own library! You always have great video ideas :)

[nataliekicks99]

wow, all your books seem amazing, so interesting. I was wondering, have you ever seen a movie that was better than the book? some people seem to think its impossible...

[whitneyleemilam]

@nataliekicks99 Off the top of my head, The Godfather, Fight Club, Silence of the Lambs, Chronicles of Narnia, Jurassic Park, American Psycho, and The Prestige. And I think the To Kill A Mockingbird book + movie are equally brilliant. I also prefer the LOTR movies to the books but I realize that that is personal preference rather than objective fact

[egoalert123]

@nataliekicks99 Its not impossible just kinda rare in my opinion, since im such an avid reader

[milliestar18]

Also, I know this was on part one, but since I watched them back to back I´ll say it here: Ella Enchanted was my favorite book when I was a kid too!! I was soooo excited for the movie, then was completely disappointed. I don´t understand why screenwriters feel the need to change an already awesome story. The same thing happened with Percy Jackson...

[ForeverDisneyKid]

"Don't even try; you can't beat Anne Rice." haha I love your videos

[whitneyleemilam]

@ForeverDisneyKid many have tried; all have failed

[milliestar18]

Hmm I love Dracula, but I´ve never heard of the historian, must check it out! Also, I would love to see a book tour of the ones you have at school, I love watching these videos! :)

[lykesduh]

More book tours, please! :)

[Christine752]

sunlight and shadow is rapunzel :) I read it when I was younger.

[StevenCullenGaGa]

WOW you have SO many books !!!! I wish I can have a bookshelf like that one day ;D haha, I want to see your other books to but you don't have to shorten it I like long books review videos ;D

[OllieTheCello]

I was hoping for some cool new book recommendations, but I've already read every single book on your bookshelves, and might I say, you have good taste.

Whoops. My bookworm is showing.

[slamminskygurl]

Whitney, do you write?

[KysDawn]

i love pirates and the royal diaries. they were my life in middle school. ^_^

[FiiAWESOME]

Twillight?



[jeezmeldc]

I remember The Royal Diaries from when I was in elementary school! I also spotted Jane Eyre; ADORE that novel. Nearly forgot that I had read those. Did you ever read Once Upon a Marigold?

[punalwaysintended]

You might have talked about this already, but have you watched the TV show "Once Upon a Time"? It seems right up your alley

[whitneyleemilam]

@punalwaysintended I am conflicted about OUAT. It has so many problems but I CAN'T STOP WATCHING

[professortorcoolguy]

I love your videos so much that I sit through and click on the pre roll ads in hopes that you're getting something from them. =] Keep up the awesome work

[terri1713]

I really enjoyed these videos. I'd love to see a video of your other book collections, especially books that are intended for 20-something audience.

[jennaw23]

Please do a tour of the other books you have! I'm always looking to find another book to read so this gave me some great ideas :)

[TheJBsupporter]

pleaseee do a bookshelf tourrr from the books you've got in LA(:

[ravenclawwithatardis]

I love this video.MAKE MORE PLEASE

[sydneyraex3]

You should totally do more oh my goodness

[kkrocks0607]

What is YA Fantasy?

[Adelicious94]

@kkrocks0607 Young Adult Fantasy :)

[TheBookfrog]

The Gemma Doyle Trilogy one of my all time favorits :) I really enjoyed the book tour and hope you'll do one again (btw I did not think that it was to long at all ^^

[JinxHeart61]

Have you read the Wings Series by Aprilynne Piike?

[matticuspond]

While watching this video, I was thinking "She would LOVE the Gemma Doyle Trilogy. She must read them." And then the next books you were talking about was that series.

[WiLDheartsRUN4EVAR]

omg i actually found this so interesting.. well my reading list just got 3982039 times longer haha you should make one about the books you have at school! i wish i read more as a kid i did in like elementary school but in middle school i thought i was too cool for it.. hahaha omg was a so wrong.. and i realize you probs dont care but yeah! gonna go buy all of these now.. (:

[beautysbiggestfan1]

wow you must have been really good in english and ss! and can u please maybe do a really short overview of the books you have in LA and then maybe do a long book tour like reviewing the books like you did here. I really enjoyed hearing about all your books and i'm gunna pick up some!

[CharrFrears]

My Lit. teacher told me to read The Historian, but I've got so many books on my shelf that I've yet to read (And I don't even have as many as you :/) that I don't know if I'll get around to it... I should probably get back into reading!

[yazming21]

i loved the princess diaries,she's all in the paper and stuff!

[DokiDokiDelu]

Please do a book tour of LA books! And keep it just as long :)

[boysarefun]

omg the royal diaries!! i loved those!! i actually want to re-read them but i checked them out from the library so i don't own them. :[

[GreenEyedGirl54]

have you read the eragon books by christopher paolini? they are amazing! the movie is not the books at all thats for sure!

[stormfet]

When you said 'Mists of Avalon, this is adult, not ya' I nearly died, cuz I described that book to my friend as 'part amazing, part intelligent, part philosophical, part VEEERY awkward..." mos def gread video thanks so much for making!

[boysarefun]

oh man the giver was and is amazing. i fell in love with it when i read it for school and re-read it almost 10 years later and it still got me excited. <33

[dpoas]

I feel bad for not knowing 75% of the books, but The Giver is AWESOME!!

[emlaur3000]

Also I LOVE Donna Jo Napoli! She has a beautiful writing style. I love Sirena and Daughter of Venice :)

[emlaur3000]

I love Midnight Pearls! :D Best retelling of The Little Mermaid EVER!

[iLIKEeats]

I assume you've been watching Once Upon a Time (I'm actually watching it as I'm typing)

[xokittykat5xo]

Whitney, because you love fairy tale adaptations so much, have you seen Once Upon a Time? If you haven't i highly suggest it! It's a television show about all of the fairytale creatures that are now stuck in our world but don't remember it. The crossover of all the fairy tales is fantastic!

[Miki810]

I want longer videos! :D I just really enjoy hearing other people's likes and reviews on books <3

[hogwartsismyhoodgurl]

Phantom!!!!!!!! That made my day!

[siclos]

Is it common to own so many books in the US? I've always made use of the excellent libraries I've had access to, and it never occurred to me to purchase books.

[whitneyleemilam]

@siclos owning a lot of books does not = not making use of libraries. i own maybe - MAYBE - 0.05% of all the books I've read in my life

[lschuth]

@whitneyleemilam My guess is there were 200 books on that shelf. That could be high. Divide by .15 (15% of the books you own) and then divide by .0005 (.05% of the books you've read) and that equates to you having read over 2.5 million different books in your lifetime.

[whitneyleemilam]

@lschuth 68% of all statistics are made up on the spot

[lschuth]

@whitneyleemilam :P

[A3neas]

@siclos There's something about owning your own book that's really cool and enhances the experience, but then again maybe that's just me.

[whitneyleemilam]

@A3neas precisely. i'd much prefer to own my own library ;)

[Bekkie8893]

@siclos I personally buy so many books that I've borrowed form the library and loved. There is nothing better than the smell of new books and owning a copy of a favourite :)

[MrRurounin]

I really love that you have "Mist of Avalon" and "The Historian"! They are two of my all time favorites. Sadly not many have heard of either of them :(

Love you!

[HaleyShealy15]

The girl on the cover of Zel looks just like Jennifer Lawrence!

[SirZippy567]

A great video for my birthday. Thank you Whitney!

[whitneyleemilam]

@SirZippy567 Happy Birthday!!

[elizziebooks]

Bookshelf tours are always long, but well worth it! Yes! Show the ones in LA! ALL THE EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!

I need to read more historical fiction and this definitely gave me some good recs! Thanks!

[hpbffls]

I'm probably going to put 99% of these books on my Christmas list!

[cat326lol]

We just finished the giver in school

[NerdsTelevised]

Do you like Dean Koontz? :)

[Broadwayx3Love]

Are you a fan of the Diana Gabaldon series? I was thinking about starting that series once I finish the Hunger Games trilogy. Would you suggest the Outlander series or is it one that was just "alright"?

[whitneyleemilam]

@Broadwayx3Love I was actually pretty mad that I bought that book hahah...I disliked it so much that I didn't even finish it. Maybe it just wasn't for me!

[ngoooccc]

LONGER book tour of your books in LA! x

[TheBeautynewbie1]

I started reading adult fiction when I was about 6 and now I"m 12, any good adult fiction books?

[mydivadoggirl]

i read a lot of these books when i was a kid! there were so many that i recognized lol. i was waiting for the dolphin diaries, babysitter's club, and the mary-kate and ashley books lol

[Littlemissgracieliz]

I freaking LOVE you ! Can you do more Hunger Games vids? Or Harry Potter.

[cosmopolisan]

Yessss show us all of your books! I love bookshelf tours <3

[amacupcake1]

The more videos I watch of yours the more I wonder how you seem to have ALL OF THE SAME INTERESTS AS ME. You are awesome.

[InsaneSouthAsian]

OKAY the princess diaries YES those books were the only things keeping me ALIVE in high school lolll seriously

[smilejustbecus]

I've read almost all of those! (not quite... but I'm only like.... mid teens so I have time)

[SeaStarPopStar]

lets see the books you read now

[maya139924]

PLEASE make one for your new books, this video was awesome :)

[hprockz101]

aww watching this makes me wish i bought books when i was younger instead of going to the library 4 times a week...i can't even remember the books i used to read, but if i owned them it would be so much fun to go back and relive them haha.

[gilmoregirl515]

I would love to see more book tours!

[thefinalprime]

I have read most of the books that you have included in you book tour. You have good taste! Lol! May I suggest the Morganville Vampire books because they are so good. I would like to see what other books you have and how your book choice has changed as you have grown up.

[16princessful]

I've been meaning to read The Gemma Doyle Trilogy but I wasn't sure if they were any good. Tnx for posting this video! Now I will for sure check them out :)

[numra25]

After seeing all these books you own, I feel like a bad reader haha. I'm going to see about getting the enchantress of the stars, it looks interesting.

[PrincessFrany]

Please do another book tour on your other books at school! :) I really enjoyed watching this by the way. You had A LOT of books when you were younger!! *faints at the sight of all of those amazing books*
