My name is Lauren and I'm just a gal who loves to read and discuss books! My favorite genres are sci-fi, urban fantasy and horror, but I'll give pretty much anything a try if the synopsis is intriguing.

NEW BOOKSHELVES REVEALED!!! April Wrapup 2023 || Books I read in April
Great selection! Loved Arc of Scythe-series too including Gleanings :) Some stories are better then others but well worth a read! Gonna try pick up a Brandon Sanderson-book next and that is always exciting!.
Hola guapa, con tanto conocimiento en los libros, por que no hay un mundo mejor?
The Shape of Darkness is one of the two of Laura Purcell major works that I haven't yet read. Can't speak for that one but all the others I read were *chef's kiss*
I have a big tbr list for July. Just started reading Sociopath a memoir by Patric Gagne PHD 50% in it’s very interesting. I’m really looking forward to reading The frozen river by Ariel Lawhon.
🇧🇷👨👦👦
I am not a huge fan of short stories, but Gleanings had some ones that I enjoyed. Have a great month.
Agreed!
Interesting selection, hope you enjoy! I'm finally finishing out the Broken Empire trilogy with my reading buddy, so that's my 'exciting' read this month
Happy reading in July! :)
It looks like a fun reading month! Enjoy!
Lark Ascending!! I love this book and all of Silas House's novels and poems. ❤️
That is the third book in the series by Schwab. The second one is called A Gathering of shadows.
Best wishes with what you choose to read I hope you get some great stories.
Enjoy these! No judgement for late-night-book-buying. :)
The Unquiet sounds really interesting, and I hadn't heard of it yet, so I'd go after that one. 🙃
✂📦
Too fun! Lark Ascending sounds fascinating.
Hope you feel better 🎀 subscribed
Awww thank you so much! And welcome!! :D
I've been debating on getting Break the Bodies, Haunt the Bones, so looking forward to your thoughts.
I've been looking forward to it for so long, so hopefully I have a glowing review to give!! 🤞
Great tbr vid! I’m gonna check these books out! Cheers 👍🏻📚📚📚📚
Oh yay, that's so awesome! I'm glad to have piqued your interest! :D
I’m glad you feel better! I’ve always liked your way of doing your tbr!
Aww thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy it!! :D
🟥➡📖!
❤️🩶🌈
so I had this on in the background while packing up my books to move and I was literally putting Break the Bodies Haunt the Bones in a box when you said it! what a coincidence! it's a really weird and fun read, I'm excited for you to get to it
Huh, what an odd coincidence!! "Weird and fun" would definitely describe some of my favorite books, so hopefully this will join that list! :D
I haven't heard of any of these but I hope you enjoy them all
Thank you, I hope so too! :D
Looks like your June TBR is screaming summerween. :) Glad to hear you are feeling better.
Haha, I could see that! Good call!
It hard to believe it’s almost two weeks away from June!! Time flies so fast. I was hoping to read Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow for the buzzword challenge next month but my hold on libby won’t be available for 16 more weeks. I’m excited about reading Everyone is watching by Heather Gudenkauf in June. Happy reading!! Glad you’re feeling better!!
Oh I hate it when that happens! I think they should get more copies when a wait becomes that long. Everyone is Watching sounds really interesting! Happy reading to you too! :D
Glad you are feeling better. The Jasper Fforde series sounds interesting. I am not a huge fan of satire, but I am definitely intrigued.
Thank you! It's been a long month, but glad to be back in business. :D Yeah, Jasper Fforde definitely isn't for everyone, so perhaps try out a sample before jumping in to a full purchase.
Oh my God, I own Shades of Grey for a while, but I didn't know it, because the Hungarian title is Monokróm (I am from Hungary). It was a one plus book for a free shipping. But as it is your favourite book I think I have now more motivation to read it. 😊
Oh yay, that's so cool!! I know Jasper Fforde's style isn't for everyone, but I really hope you enjoy it too!! :D
I'm glad you're feeling better! Your excitement is so contagious. I wanted to read from my bookshelf, so my Buzzword book for June is The Loneliest Girl in the Universe by Lauren James. Enjoy your reads! ❤📚❤️
Awww thank you, I'm glad you think so. I have pretty big reactions sometimes, and have a hard time containing it, haha! Oooo, I've heard of that one--it sounds really interesting! Happy reading to you. :D
@@PaperbackEmpire Thank you!
You are very cute
haha Thanks!
June TBR already...Mid year freak out tag will be here before we know it. Have a great reading month.
Time really flies! I hope you have a great reading month too. :D
Neverwhere is so fun! Recommend the audio especially.
Ooooo thanks for the rec, I'll definitely check the audiobook out!! :D
You haven't seen A Quiet Place😱? You have to watch it.
I just watched it, and it was SOOOOO good!!
@@PaperbackEmpire yay! So happy you enjoyed it.😍
Yay for finishing series! Hope you will like King of Crows. Our Crooked Hearts has such a great cover, can't wait to hear your thoughts. Happy reading in May!
Thank you!!
🥷♱
King of Crows is wild! Hope you enjoy.
OOoooo that makes it extra intriguing to me!
Daphne was my first Josh Malerman book, and to me it read like someone telling a really long, kind of boring, but supposed to be scary ghost story while sat around a campfire
Oooo good call, I can totally see that!
Have a great month.
Thank you!! I hope your May reading is going well too!
The books sound really good. I haven't read any of them, so looking forward to your reviews. My Buzzword book is Every Soul a Star by Wendy Moss. I'm also looking forward to reading A Magic Steeped in Poison and A Venom Dark and Sweet by Judy I. Lin.
Oh I loved the tea magic! Great duology
@@sorenkrane Yay! ❤️📚🤗
Love your videos as always! And can I say, that I love that you dont have an overambitious tbr like other booktubers? Because this seems like a realistic plan to me and I really enjoy that :)
So refreshing
And you read all the books you say you will!
Thank you, I really appreciate that! I agree--it's hard for me to take reviewers seriously when they read like 20 books per month. I just don't know how you can keep that many stories straight!
I actually really enjoyed Blindness! It was not hard to read once you get used to the weird format. Still think about it 8 years later.
Good to know! I really like the premise, but that writing style has really intimidated me.
This was so fun to see. :) Happy reading all of these books!
Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!!

📚😵💫📚😵📚
I really enjoyed Daughter of the Forest. It was a wonderful experience.
Pretty much everyone I know who has read it has loved it, so I have high hopes!
📚
I had to read Let the Right One In for school and it had me being terrefied of walking under trees in the dark for years afterwards. I really recommend it though. Did you mean the swedish movie of it that the author was involved in? I know there was a swedish and an american one but I've not heard if there was an icelandic one.
I just misspoke, thank you for pointing it out. Hopefully the book version doesn't freak me out too much, haha!
In case you haven't read the complete Founders trilogy, I highly recommend. It just kept gettng better for me. :) Also, have you read Annihilation? Reminded me a bit of Rules for Vanishing. Thanks for sharing your faves with us!
I read Shorefall and liked it ok, so I'm not totally sure if I'll end up finishing the series. Yes--Annihilation was great! I hadn't thought of it, but that's a really good comparison! :D
Love that I've only heard of two of these! So many new ones to look into! Thank you!
That's awesome! I'm glad you got something out of my list!! :D
👑📚
🥇📚🥇📚
I have Bubblegum on my short list of books to get, it sounds really interesting, and now knowing it's scratch-n-sniff, I definitely will be getting to it soon!
Oh yay! I'm glad I could bring that to your attention. :D It absolutely blew my mind when I noticed it--I'd never heard of a scratch and sniff book cover, haha!
Wow, you make such beautiful videos! What is the goal of your TH-cam channel? Are you thinking about future monetization or something like that? Want to create your own brand. • Can you provide a brief overview of your TH-cam channel? • What is the primary focus or niche of your channel? How long has your channel been active? • What are your short-term and long-term goals for the TH-cam channel? • Are you looking to increase subscribers, views, engagement, or other specific metrics?
Thanks for you interest, but this is just a hobby for me. :)
