Hey everyone, my name is Kylie and this is
Miss Kyle Reads and do we all remember that
video that I made at the beginning of
2016 talking about ten books that I
wanted to read in 2016?
Well I was doing pretty good with making
updates for the first half of the year
and then I just quit making update
videos about that because I didn't think
they were going to be that interesting
but I thought I wanted to wrap it up at
the end of the year and now it's 2017
so what better time to do that?
So I'm not going to really go in depth
about these books, I'm just going to
basically hold them up and tell you
whether I read them or not or I have any
interest in completing them because
obviously 2016 is over so I can't really
complete them in 2016 anymore. The first
book that was on that list was the
Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison and I
started to read this book. I gave it 50
pages and I couldn't do it anymore. I had
to DNF this one because I just
couldn't do it. I got fifty pages in and
the writing style was just not my thing.
They used I instead of we for things and
I just didn't understand that and there
was a lot of thou and oh I just..I just
can't do that. The next books were the
Wise Man's Fear and the Slow Regard of
Silent Things by Patrick Rothfuss and
this is the second book in the King Killer
Chronicles and also the novella in the
King Killer Chronicle world and I read this
book, I did. I read it in June and I also
read the novella in June so mark that
off the list. Oh next is the Wheel of
Time series with the Great Hunt and I
wanted to read two books in the Wheel of
Time series in 2016 and I read zero
books in the Wheel of Time in 2016.
I got 150 pages into
this one and I just kept putting it down
to read other books.
It just wasn't holding my interest but I
have been thinking about it a lot
recently
so maybe I don't know, maybe 2017 will be
my Wheel of Time year.
I don't know. The next books on my list
were a Song of Ice and Fire by George RR
Martin. This is that beautiful
pocket-sized edition box set, I love it. I
had three books remaining in a Song of
Ice and Fire to read this year and I did
it. I read them all on audiobook and I
kind of followed along with a Storm of
Swords, a Feast for Crows and a Dance
With Dragons
and then I completed it and it just
makes me feel really good.
Next one on my list is so shameful
because it is Fool Moon by Jim Butcher
the second book in the Dresden Files
series. Look at this tiny little urban
fantasy. I couldn't finish it. I read 30
pages of this and it was during my slump
after reading the Black Prism by Brent
Weeks and I just couldn't do it. I have
heard that this series is so great but
you have to get past the first like
three or four books so this one's still
on the list to read. The next one on my
list was Firefight by Brandon Sanderson
and I now own the last book as well,
Calamity, so I can read them both now.
But Firefight is the second book in the
Reckoners trilogy by Brandon Sanderson
which is his young adult trilogy and I
do not enjoy it as much as his adult novels. I'm
sure that I will enjoy it on some level
when I read it but I have yet to do that.
I know, I know. The next one I have
absolutely no interest in reading the
rest of the series and that is Cinder by
Marissa Meyer. I read this book four or
five years ago and I just have no
interest in reading the rest of the
series anymore.
The next one I have completed is Armada by
Ernest Cline and this is a standalone
and it was not as good as Ready Player
One, let me just tell you that. But still
enjoyable if you don't have high
expectations. The next one was to read
the Throne of Glass series and I did
read Queen of Shadows this year which
I'm pretty happy about but when Empire of
Storms came out, I just really had no
inclination to pick that one up and read
it so I haven't yet and I haven't really
heard good things
so. And the last things I kind of wanted
to read in 2016 were the Heroes of
Olympus series by Rick Riordan and the Lost
Hero was the only one that I owned and
it's the only one that I read and I
don't feel like buying the rest of the
series because I kind of have lost
interest in it. Alright everyone, I hope you
enjoyed this quick video about wrapping
up that video that I made about the top
ten books that I wanted to read in 2016.
I don't think I'm going to make a video
about the top ten books I want to read
in 2017 just because my tastes change so
much throughout the year that I don't
want to kind of limit myself to these
ten books, do you know what I'm saying?
Not that I really listened to myself on
this list at all, but hey.
Give this video a big thumbs up if you
enjoyed it and comment down below. Until
next time, goodbye!
