Dew, to be read

*cries over how much I want all these books*

Top YA standalone: The Book Thief. I can't explain how much love I this book. The range of emotions that it takes me through is like nothing else. The pain, loss, joy, fear, and hope. I felt everything. Adult standalone: The Great Gatsby. One of the very few books I reread. I will always love Jay Gatsby, and I'm very glad school made me read this book.

Can I just say you recomended This Song Will Save Your Life to me and it changed me. I cannot thank you enough for it.

Thank you so much for this list! Starting a series can be so intimidating which keeps me from starting to read anything at all. I will definitely be checking some of these if not all of these out!!

I can't remember if you've read Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda or not, but it's my favorite standalone! The Hate U Give is definitely on my list also.

So happy to see someone else who loves This Song Will Save Your Life!! It's one of my favorite books of all time

All the bright places is my favorite stand alone ever it made me cry so much and i related to both characters violet and finch it was so beautiful and amazing 😭😍

Thank you so much for making this video and for sharing a bit more of your story with us! I've got a few of these on my TBR already but definitely excited to get more recommendations since stand-alone books seem to be so rare 🙁

Omg I've read This Song Will Save Your Life such a long time ago and it was definitely a good book for me. Now I definitely need to reread it because I miss it so much and I definitely want to visit that story again! I'm so glad you loved it!!

Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend is one I have absolutely fallen in love with (and it made me cry so many times)!

i love the way you talk about things and how excited you are! you make me want to pick up books that i never would have thought i'd be interested in :)

Every time I see that you've uploaded a new video, no matter what it's about, I always get so happy. I love your videos so much and you're honestly my inspiration

Totally relate to FanGirl!! Everything you said was on point YES THUG THUG THUG - I had no idea there was a spin off coming!!! GAH!!! Can't wait for the movie! I loved Every Last Word! Such a great story!! Night Film was my favourite book of 2016!! I loved Made You Up! I thought it was so well done! This Song Will Save Your Life is one of my favourites as well!! YOU LISTED SO MANY OF MY FAVS YAS!!!!

I've said this before... your passion for books is what keeps me watching. I love how you talk about Books, it makes me want to get all of them even the ones I'm not interested in!

the only book i've read off this list is fangirl and i adore that book so much! definitely going to add the others to my tbr list because the way you talked about them with such enthusiasm, has made me definitely want to pick them up!

Your bookshelves are looking especially top notch today!! And I absolutely loved Night Film. Great video!

i love this kind of videos because you see booktubers get all excited and smiley with stars in their eyes while they talk about their favourite books. truly a pleasure to watch.

Great video! Have even more standalones to add to my TBR! I am on such a contemporary kick and need more standalones so thank you so much for this video!

You are such an inspiration Emma!!! 💕 I love listening to your reviews :)

You should totally make a favorite songs/artists/genres video!!

One of the things I love most about books is that they're anchors for people when they need it most. Just like you, some of my all time favorite standalones/series are my favorite because of how they helped me in high school and my experience with them ♥️

And my booktopia cart grows... but seriously thank you Emma for talking about mental health books, because they're no mentioned a lot. Also I love your makeup so much.

So I didn't know there was a community of book lovers on KZread, I always felt the books in my collection were personal. I picked them specifically and hearing how Emma speaks of these books makes me feel like someone understands the power books can have and how they can really help someone. I've never been so happy to hit subscribe

Hey emma So i read every book that u mentioned. And u know wt! I loved them all And i m so thankful to you for introducing me to such amazing pieces of work ! Love !

I really like way you are soo passionate about these book , now im dying to read them

I love your recommendations because I have struggled with mental health issues and reading was my companion too. It helps to get recs from people who have gone through a similar thing :D

I love "Made you up"!!! I read the book because I found it on your channel and it was something different and new

Amazing list as usual Emma, really need to read the Night Film ASAP. One of my fav stand alones was Boys Don't Cry which dealt with being a teen father and it was amazing.

my day gets so much better when you upload omg

Fangirl is definitely one of my all time favorite standalones! I read The Hate U Give last month and I loved it! I didn't know it was getting a spinoff sequel but I'm so excited for that! Hearing you talk about Every Last Word in a past video definitely motivated me to read it and I'm so glad I did because I really enjoyed it. I've heard fantastic things about Under Rose Tainted Sky and I need to read it. History Is All You Left Me is another favorite of mine! I'm so glad that we don't have to wait a full year for Adam's next book.

I just read Under Rose-Tainted Skies, and it's been an amazing journey. I too would put it on my list of all time favorite standalones. I love hearing you talk about it so passionately! I've been raving about it.

Every last word man.... the book had me in a corner for DAYS such a good book, y’all should read it❤️

Fangirl was such a beautiful experience for me. I felt so connected to the main character because we have soooo many similarities. I just loved every thing about that book.❤

I really like your videos because most booktube personas I've seen usually use the same books, but you use books I've never heard of most of the time. I really want to start my own channel because I have so many favorite YA novels that most people probably haven't heard of.

I read This Song Will Save Your Life because of you and I absolutely loved it!

I've got like one week left of exams. My tbr list has reached over 40 and your channel is making me miss reading so much but I can't wait to read some of these books 😁

I love that when I went to amazon and added Made You Up to my wishlist, the other two recommendations were Every Last Word and Under Rose Tainted Skies.

I read History because of you and it meant so much to me so THANK YOU EMMA!!! Also, I bought List of Cages because of you so sooon I will get to it!!

A list of cages broke me, it was so intense and beautifully done!

yayayayay!! finallyyyy. now time to add these books to my ever-growing tbr pile 😭

Ahh Emma how do you always know exactly what video I need to see omg!!

I just thought of filming a favorite standalones video then you posted this! perfect. Fangirl will always be a favorite because I have similar social anxiety and I just love that book!

History is all you left me DESTROYED ME. I'm not over that book. I'm re-reading that book and crying all over again. It tugs at my heart in ways I just couldn't imagine. I'm about to start the Hate you give and hopefully I'll learn as many things as you did.

so I'm new to this channel and DANG that is the most beautifully organized bookshelf I've ever seen

My favorite stand alone is A Monster Calls. That tore out my heart and stomped on it.

Besides books you're really and I mean really good with makeup guurrllll

You get me so excited for reading❤📚

Really should be revising but I can't help myself !

Jeez, it feels so good to see you talking about This Song Will Save Your Life, it almost made me cry, because this book literally changed me (and saved me) and my whole life. ♥ I'm so happy you liked it and so happy you found the meaning of it! Thank you for this video

I adore The Hate U Give and Every Last Word; both such important books. I definitely want to read Fangirl, A List of Cages, Under Rose Tainted Skies, History is All You Left Me, Made You Up, and This Song Will Save Your Life! Loved this video!💗

Emma, you're an amazing person and you are so inspirational ❤

I LOVE THIS SONG WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE! it was the first book that I got as a gift and it is the book I recommend to new readers always.

Seriously though I just finished A List of Cages and my heart!!! Julian is just the very sweetest thing and I just can't!!! ❤️❤️

Every Last Word is one of my all time favourite books; I'm so happy you mentioned it.

I just read Fangirl in March and woah, I can't believe I waited as long as I did to read it! It was so good! Also, I picked up The Hate U Give yesterday after watching you rave about it and OMG! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm halfway through and already fully in love with it! It really is changing my perspective on everything that has been happening lately.

I LOVE YOUR PERSONALITY!!! I just discovered your channel and it's been like a hallelujah moment! Binge watching all your videos!

You're sooo good at eye makeup😍😍

I need to read so many books you mentioned! Especially The Hate U Give! Great video Emma! ♥

I just bought 'This song will save your life' and I was going to save it for later, but after you said this defenitely it will be my next read! I really love your videos, Emma! And like to know about mental health books. I don't know yet what exactly is wrong with me, but I like to read books like those you mentioned because sometimes I identify with the charachters and then I kinda understand what's happening. I really appreciate you talk so openly about this topic. Thanks a lot, Emma!!

This is getting dangerous. My TBR list keeps getting bigger and bigger 😀💝 every single booktube videooo

ive been looking at The hate u give in the window of the bookstore for weeks... i need it now 😄! new subscriber!

i didn't realize how much i love The Hate U Give until you said the title and i got goosebumps! ugh. i love that book so much.

One Of Us Is Lying is so freaking amazing !!! I just finished it yesterday and it brought up some topics that aren't usually talked about and the character development is just so great and amazing like ugh you NEED to read it!
