    omg yesss to evelyn hugo and six of crows, but ESPECIALLY to evelyn hugo bc i feel like it would be amazing to read it for the first time knowing nothing about it beforehand and being surprised at evelyn's true love interest!!
  • Literally any Rick Riordan book I wish I could re-read for the first time, Percy Jackson and the Heroes of Olympus and The Kane Chronicles were such a source of comfort and nostalgia for me
  • The only book I can think of is The Starless Sea. Other than that, I actually prefer rereading books cause the story feels so familiar and comforting
  • @wiktoria5992
    similar to you I'd also love to read The Poppy War for the first time once again. Because now - after reading it - I look at the characters in a completely different way... like I can vividly recall how I felt about them at the beginning and I think it's just very interesting how the way I perceive them changed when I was reading the story
  • @luanajasmin5125
    I definitely have to agree on six of crows. Nothing compares to the first time you read the book honestly!!
  • Books mentioned: Seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo warcross anna k by jenny le the poppy war strange the dreamer six of crows
  • @ThaMobstarr
    Is it weird that I am not really a book reader myself, but love to watch some of your videos talking about these books? I just like how excited you sound about your favourites. It‘s similar for me with watching gaming-related videos, despite not playing video games myself lol.
  • @stefc1114
    I would love to read The Mark of Athena in the heroes of Olympus series for the first time again. Every inch of that book I loved.
  • @pinksuperstar2
    Book I wish I could read again: Strange the dreamer (that book is just magical) Six of Crows Shatter Me series-one of my favorites ever Heir of Fire Children of Blood and Bone
  • @mnlxlover00
    I totally agree with you...I wish I could read A Very Large Expanse of Sea again for the first time. It was just so amazing, I was blown away by Mafi's writing and all of the characters! ❤
  • @valeriag2842
    My list would no doubts be: the Monsters of Verity duology (made me cry so much), the Truly Devious series (all the plot twists, I mean...), Graceling (that I discovered thanks to you so THANK YOU JANANIE), the Queen's Gambit (somehow so inspiring and psychological) and the Scythe series. I'm now really looking forward to reading Strange the Dreamer and Legend, they definitely sound like my cup of tea🧡
  • I just finished crooked kingdom and I absolutely loved it! I was crying at the end! Happy and sad tears.
  • @MLLatUtube
    Love this list! Several of them are on my someday TBR - you have bumped them up the list for me.
  • @shawnamonroe
    Love this video! I hadn’t heard of some of these before. Can’t wait to dive into them.
  • @user-qu8zs7vs1x
    My list would include: the song of Achilles, call me by your name, Atonement, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and Extremely Loud Incredibly Close. Needless to say, I cried a lot with all of them
  • @guidecfk
    i also read legend years ago and loved it, then this year i bought and read the graphic novel adaptations and highly recommend doing it. It was a great way to kind of read the books again but in a new way, I had also forgotten much of the plot 😂😂 but also i agree with you so much about so many of these especially warcross what a banger that book is
  • @nehasbiju7104
    I reread a book when I completely forget everything about the book with only knowing that I really liked that book or wait till I completely forget what's happening in the book
