Sounds like great books. I'm going to have to look into that first one (the historical fiction...I'll have to go back and get the title). I haven't heard anything about it here, so it might now be slated for release in the US, but I could always get it from Blackwells.
That is one big book. The only books I know I will be reading in December are The Christmas Tree Farm by Laurie Gilmore and A Court Of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Mass. They are both for book clubs.
@@Bookishdowntime I really liked it. If you are interested, i put my StoryGraph review of it below. I rated it 4 stars. This story is told in the first person by Feyre who is human. There are humans and fae In the world of the book. Feyre lives a couple of days journey from the fae lands. There is a wall separating human lands from fae lands. Feyre's family (Feyre's father and two older sisters) was once well to do. But they fell on hard times a few years back. They only survive because of Feyre's hunting skills. She needs to kill prey to provide meat and to get pelts that she sells to get money for other necessities. The story starts with Feyre hunting in the woods during a winter day. A deer comes in range of her bow. Before she can shoot the deer, a huge wolf appears. Feyre kills the wolf and the deer. She skins the wolf and takes the pelt and the dear deer back to her family. Not long after, a very angry fae comes to Feyre's family's cottage. The wolf Feyre killed was actually a fae who had shifted to wolf form. Feyre admits to the angry fae that she killed the wolf. As punishment, she has to spend the rest of her life in fae lands. The angry fae is Tamlin who is one of the Fae High Lords. The story goes from there. This book is a romantasy. Only the second I have read after Fourth Wing. There were a series of chapters early in the book where I didn't feel any threat to Feyre. They almost felt cozy. Once the book ramped up, the stakes got really high. It got very tense. Feyre was a believable heroine (some suspension of disbelief is necessary, but that is to be expected in a fantasy novel). I liked how the romance developed. There was impressive world building. Mostly the fae world is gradually revealed. There is one chapter that was info dumpy. There were some brutally violent scenes in the latter part of the book. The sex was mild. Not graphic at all. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to read a romantasy and who doesn't have a problem with the brutally violent scenes. I'm glad I finally read a Sarah J. Maas book. I already bought the sequel A Court of Mist and Fury.
Great video! I love how creative it is! Best of luck to you on Booktube!
Thank you 💖 And thank you for watching.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the new Grady Hendrix!
I’m worried I might be going into it with my expectations a little high, but I am just really excited for it. 😁

It looks like you will be able to get it through Barnes & Noble.

I have never read anything by Sarah J. Mass. Did you read ACOTAR, and what did you think of it?

Thanks for sharing. I am not sure I will ever get around to reading it but I’m always interested to hear reviews.
