Piranesi is so weird and good! I enjoyed Holly a lot but its definitely more thriller than horror and I'm still bitter about it winning the horror section 😂

omg animal arc 😭 those books were my childhood

This is awesome thank you sm for posting

love ur vids

As short as possible - 40 mins video, oh lordy

YOU GOT A SHIRT! I am legit jealous, on the occasions I do wear T-shirts (they EXIST, stop laughing) obviously they're ALL bookish and I WANT this one!! (Your possible threadmage self would be proud.) NOT gonna tell you how long I thought it was pronounced CO (like "oh") splay, like you're being yourself and another character at once. What is it they say about all booksmarts and no common sense? OH THE JASMINE THRO- oh. Also you recorded this already and I'm unable to be helpful. I haven't read it. Was it good? YES, ugh, our Illumicrate edition is so dang pretty too! No. No. No. Back away from the big sad book, you don't need to do this to yourself. I dodged this prompt so hard. KRISTIN was awful too. That K/L combo could not have been fun though. And how can you miss with Labyrinth??? (Right, obsessed with romantasy, boring, sorry.) I can't wait to read this book, and I'm shocked we got the better cover. That NEVER happens. Did you like the...oh. Dear. Um. Good luck. Meh. (Not awful, just...meh.) STILL DID BETTER THAN MY HUSBAND. And more thoughtfully (ahem). Never heard of this but it sounds fun. Wow, I just counted books twice for double majors. Brave, brave, overachiever. Did it in the fall but couldn't manage it this fall (20 books is plenty, thanks.) Re-reads are so tricky, I feel like I'm in a place where I don't want to touch anything I loved in the past right now. Is that bad? GASP, THAT COVER. I've eyed that one multiple times, but something about the summary is making me question if I'll click with the tone of the book. I NEED to hear your review. Like, YESTERDAY. OH NO, that FONT SIZE. Turns out my smutty dragon book has miniscule font like that, UNAPPRECIATED. OOOOOOHHHH what are you gonna piiiiccckkkkkk drummmmmmm rollllllllllll...wait. You're gonna say, right. RIGHT? OH! I have that hanging out on my shelf but have never read sci fi...SO curious to hear about this. I ALMOST PICKED THIS FOR THIS EXACT PROMPT!!! NO WAY! OH NO, let it gooooooooooooooo. Oh, that works too. Eh, works for me. "I dunno, it's a dragon book." Literally snorted. The BOOK VILLAGE????? So jealous, can't wait to see it!! I can't wait to hear about so many of these! Your TBR is fantastic, GOOD LUCK!!

Good luck!

Just a recommendation that the audio book for Braiding Sweetgrass is fantastic!

I was listening and not watching and glanced over when you were talking about the witch trial book and I am not surprised. Bill O'Reilly is not a good man and is a bit obsessed with the founding fathers lol. You probably would not want to hear his opinion on the trials tbh

5 survive sounded so promising, I really wanted it to be a surprise hit 😢. I watch you videos in chunks so will keep commenting as I go through 😅

I think i havent seen you as apathetic as you were when looking at the history/biography section 😂

I picked up ship of magic last month, fell in love and ended up finishing the whole trilogy. I'm too far ahead in the Fitzalong now lol

I really liked the live ship books, but I dropped robin hobb after I read them and the first Fitz books. The cosy sci fi hotel mystery sounds really good, made me think of hunters and collectors by Matt Suddain, but cosy 😅

42:54 There's already Weirdsister's College . It's a continuation series where Mildred, Ethel and Enid have grown up as young adults . 👍🏽

imo To the rescue is the best

Im less than a minute in and the sass about the missing genres is a mood 😂

This was soooo lovely to watch (and NO, I do NOT have any puppy-napping plans right now, I don't know WHAT you're talking about), you got to see so many amazing authors and get sooooo many editions signed IN MY FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WORLD. Seeing it still just makes me sigh and my heart so full (okay, and yes, lots of envy--someday my body will cooperate long enough to book a trip again, SOMEDAY...although I DID promise my daughter she'd meet every Disney character first). Edinburgh is so gorgeous and SO NOT OVER 90 stupid degrees (wait, you guys use Celsius, that's...34 and half this week). You did such a good job capturing some of the best scenery and catching all the convention highlights, and you're so brave getting into vlogging, I'm a total chicken! MORE PLEASE, you're so adorable in little candid moments! 💕

The fact that I am literally reading A Botanical Daughter right now!

I had very similar feelings on A Botanical Daughter. I had such a bad reading month when I read it that I think I gave it a higher rating than it deserved. I loved the vibes of the green house but the whole thing with the two girls really kinda put me off. Great idea, mediocre execution

Oh you sweet summer child, Scott lynch has been teasing book 4 (of 7) fro the Gentleman Bastard series for 9 years. I hope it comes out at some point before i die as I loved the fist 3 books so so so much.

It’s so funny how Cabin the book is so similar to the movie but I much prefer the book so I think you’ll get a lot out of this read even if you’ve already watched the movie. Have a great July!!

As always i just impressed by the sheer volume you get through 😂

What a stacked TBR! Never read that Stephen King one before so excited for your thoughts

Yay for ruthless vows!! I definitely loved divine rivals more but still enjoyed it 💕💕

I will say with Blue Period it gets less information heavy as the protagonist becomes more experienced/learned. I also DO NOT recommend watching the anime instead. The anime adaptation cuts out a lot of stuff and just really isn't as good. The writing in the series is great and it only gets better as it goes on (imo) so I hope you end up giving the manga another chance 👍

Lots of mentions of the honey witch 🥰

Your channel is super underrated and your videos are awesome

I havent read manga in so long. But my tbr list is so long already 😅 Unrelated i love the pastel colours on you ❤

I also struggle with knowing new manga and whatnot, you’re not alone

I loved Christina Henry's retelling of Alice in Wonderland. It was very horror heavy and I have been waiting for someone to say something about the House that Horror Built, it's been on my list to watch. I am a bit disappointed it wasn't good lol

Ooh next year I might be doing a Bridgerton themed thing so I would save the first book for then!

I love Abominable book club box it’s amazing! I love horror so much! Also it’s way better than most American subscription boxes imo because you get three books and all of those hot beverages and I get to try British snacks which is a blast! And it actually is a great value for the price. So here in the states it cost me $52 with shipping and tax from the UK. Here I find horror book subscriptions cost more then that for only one book and a few other trinkets and if there is a hot drink included it’s like one tea bag ir hot coco etc so honestly it’s one of the best book subscription boxes I’ve ever had and I’ve tried a lot. It’s definitely the best value for the price. You are right Dracula isn’t the best choice however I think if you keep getting it you won’t be too disappointed. Also this ilumicrate box was my first box from them for the same price and honestly it was pretty bad for the same price as the abominable book club where we got three books. Also I agree the stuff that you call sawdust for the packaging that abominable and ilumicrate does suck it’s very messy when they could just use that bubbly wrap paper like the first box you opened would be less dirty and less annoying lol. Thanks for the lovely video I’m a new subscriber and I love your earrings btw 😊

Til Death Do Us Bard sounds soooo good! Of course I paused the video to immediately go order it 🤣

The lies of locke lamora is like my favourite book series. I hope Scott finally released book 4 at some point 😭

I FINALLY HAVE TIME TO WATCH THIS UNINTERRUPTED! I made popcorn. I LOVE THIS THUMBNAIL and have watched the intro about eight times when I was desperate for a smile. But please DO tell Stich that he needs to up his costume game because he simply is NOT keeping up with you, Briar Rose! Also, these new transitions and the music are amazing, you put SO MUCH WORK into this! Ugh, yes, I literally have to pretend that Ella Enchanted the movie has absolutely nothing to do with the book, and ONLY THEN can it love it. Hmmm...not Thumbelina, Anastasia, or The Swan Princess? Did those not make it across the pond? Waaaaaiiiitt A River of Golden Bones is a SLEEPING BEAUTY retelling? I backed away as soon as I saw the word "bones" in the title...but you make it sound kind of like Sleeping Beauty mixed with The Liar's Crown...plus wolf shifters? I'm kinda into it... Justice for Toadling, that name is ROUGH. But like, also kind of cute...so long as it's not mine. Okay I would TOTALLY wear that outfit on the cover of Snow and Poison. I LOVED the author's Bluebloods series when I was younger and in my vampire phase...and Witches of East End was kind of fun too, not gonna lie. Gasp, you haven't read A Curse So Dark and Lonely yet?? Next you'll be telling me you haven't read ACOTAR, it's such a classic...actually, this one didn't totally blow me away but it had its merits, I liked the representation with the main heroine. And what's NOT to love about Beauty and the Beast...A Prince keeps you in a CASTLE with SERVANTS and a GIANT LIBRARY. Where do I sign up?? OMG BEASTLY DON'T DO ITTTTT. I've never read it but they made it into a show with Vanessa Hudgens (Yes, High School Musical) and it was so so sooooo bad. If Neil Patrick Harris can't make it good either...I MUST question the original material. Wait, girl, you're reading all those chapters in A CORSET. That is a BOLD choice. My comment keeps getting deleted, so I'm trying in two parts....

Wait, I’m usually in crisis, don’t give me another reason!! Seriously, you are SO sweet and such a supportive friend, thanks so much for recommending me💖 No one stars so far is definitely a win and it sounds like I’m definitely going to have to bump Voyage of the Damned Way up on my TBR, what a rave! I am genuinely scared to look at my numbers for this year, especially after March was the worst reading year I’ve had…since the turn of the century (don’t I sound dramatic, but it’s totally true), but thank goodness for the magical readathon- you’re right, it really is SUCH great motivation! (That and, you know, filming and posting a public TBR…EEK!)

Aaaaw thank you for recommending me 🥰

I was already wanting to read this but the art in here was making me want to read it more. But omg they’re a throuple!!!? I have to read it now!!!

I'm doing godseer, which also has 7 prompts. It's a good number.

Want to reread empire of the vampire in May! Can’t wait for our buddy read!

This readathon sounds so fun! Definitely keeping it in mind for next year!

@clairescreativecorner brought me here. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍

I can’t believe I’m only seeing this now! Thank you so much for this review -I’m so glad you enjoyed it ❤

loved the dancing in the beginning :DDDDD

Thornhedge was so fun! T. Kingfisher's humor is so good

Our book taste either totally overlaps or I've never heard of your picks/would NEVER read them (the horror ones), and I love it so much. My husband is into manga too and I swear I just attract the manga readers, the other creator I chat with reads it as well!! I laughed EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. You put something in the Yikes category. I love that name. I will never top that name if ever tier rank anything (which I'm so nervous to do, I've never done it and using technology on camera...eeek). But...I am the low hanging fruit when it comes to humoring your audience, I think. There was a Sleeping Beauty retelling mentioned. Where was the costume, you gorgeous thing?? Ugh, such a missed opportunity...leaving me alone in my corset on Booktube...sigh. Okay, we need to have a serious chat about where you placed We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (and not mentioned my goddess TS was just blasphemous) and Before the Coffee Gets Cold-- anything that makes me bawl that hard cannot be a B! Also ummmmm, yeah, soooo...you're a romance reader now. Welcome. On Wednesdays we...read pink covers. And it's half romantasy too....yay! Also I heard that comment you snuck in there and don't worry--I'll make sure I help you find allllll the weird omegaverse stuff. 💕

"When is he not seduced?" 🤣🤣🤣

First, happy birthday! Secondly Robin hobb is super good, but a slog to get into. At least in my opinion

“he’s such…he’s just him” sums up Lestat well 😂 Love the Towards the Terra anime. Hope the manga is just as good.

Aaaw I gotta read Snow Fairy. Sounds super cute
