SO many of these I have ALMOST picked up in bookshops - I have STROKED so many of these. Just read another Alix E. Harrow, The Ten Thousand Doors of January and it really surprised me, SUCH good writing, really fantastical.
🤣 I've stroked many of these books in the store as well haha! I've actually had my eye on The Ten Thousand Doors of January for a while... I may have to treat myself...
Okay but after going a year without reading (very much mental health related), the ACOTAR series got me back into my love of reading. I’ve read all five books in the past three weeks and I’m so excited for you to read Mist and Fury! The first book is trash compared to books 2 and 3,
Some great picks! I've read about half of these and just a word of caution that 'Detransition, Baby' has some heavier themes & can be hard to read too much in one sitting. I like to cycle a heavy & lighter book to read simultaneously so I can get through my TBR pile without feeling too down (and not have nightmares reading something upsetting before bed)!
This might've been commented already but you can use a hairdryer on hot to warm the sticker glue and it peels right off! ❤️ Also Circe is great I listened to it on audible
I’m intrigued to see what you think of Detransition Baby as I find we usually have very similar book opinions and I didn’t like it at all, despite the rave reviews! I’ve just added so many books to my to-buy list so thank you
Lucy, your book videos are probably my all-time favorite videos to watch on TH-cam! I'm so glad you've done so many recently, and can't wait to see how you get on with these books! I am absolutely dying to read The Song of Achilles because of your description of it ❤️
My TBR is in the 100s but as I buy most of them in charity shops it's very hard to leave a book behind if it's one you've been wanting to get your hands on! I've also convinced myself that it's fine to have lots of kindle books as they take up no physical space... I absolutely loved Circe and Song of Achilles is high on my TBR pile (currently reading Ariadne by Jennifer Saint which I think you'd also enjoy if you're into greek myths).
I’ve recently read The Love Hypothesis and it lived up to all the hype on tiktok! My physical TBR pile is currently standing at 229 books and I’m on a book buying ban until I get them down to 150 but I’ve added at least half of the books that you’ve mentioned to my Amazon basket 😂
I loved this video so much! I was also influenced by tiktok to read the love hypothesis - it's alright so far but can't get over the constant description of olive being teeny tiny and adam being big and broad?! You made the point so well about the Hating Game and now I see it in so many books! thanks for taking the time to make these videos! xx
🎶🎵 You put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up 🎵🎶 I had no idea it was a book! That is one of my favorite movies, EVER! I’m loving all this book content. You are inspiring me to get busy! Thank you!
I currently have 90 books on my physical TBR 😅 to say it's gotten out of hand is a severe understatement! I read Circe a couple years ago and it is an all time favourite book!
I really recommend getting a kindle. I read a lot, and i'm in love with my kindle paperback! Ebooks are so much cheaper than fysical books, and it saves space. If I rate a book 5 stars, then I buy a fysical copy so I can have my favorites on a shelf!
Yay!!!!!! I can’t wait for the reading vlog …. When I tell you I got excited for when you started including books in your videos…🥺🥺🧡🧡🧡 I love watching your videos and just turning them on as I get ready in the morning🧡 you are such a joy🙌🙌
I just finished Crying in H Mart, and it was definitely a 5 star for me!! Many tears were shed but it’s a truly beautifully written memoir. If you enjoy it you should definitely look into the author’s music, she writes and performs songs as Japanese Breakfast!
1) This haul size is totally reasonable, and you shouldn’t feel bad for all these recent purchases. 💜 2) I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO READ MIST AND FURY OMG!!!! Aaaaaand so excited you’re going to vlog it! 3) The Once and Future Witches is AWESOME. 4) I LOVE FLO CAMEOS AND AM HERE FOR ALL THE FLO CONTENT! 🖤😽
Thanks for the recommendations! Mist and Fury is going to hook you for sure! Loved that book! I just saw that Practical Magic has a prequel yesterday, but I didn't get it so I can't remember the title. It's set much earlier, though, so I might go back and get it.
I’ve start keeping a TBR list on my phone and ordering them through my local library. Only cost 75p to get the book transferred if they don’t have it in stock at my local library.
Your tbr is completely manageable mine is 100% taking over my home. Floating somewhere around 600 for my tbr 🙈 but there is always so many good new books out
Idk if anyone has commented this, but from someone who works in WHSMith and has to change book stickers weekly, a lil tip. Peel of the sticker, get as much as you can off, and then use a rubber to rub off the rest. It doesn't always 100% work dependent on the finish of the cover, but it usually works pretty well!
Great picks. I am currently reading Mrs. England. I'm really enjoying it so far, great atmosphere. It doesn't get published here in Canada until April, but I was able to get an ARC from Netgalley.
Here to validate your books stack. I have over 200 books on my physical tbr and who knows how many on my kindle. Borrowing the audiobooks for them from the library when possible has helped me make some headway though. I somehow had never heard of Detransition Baby but it sounds fantastic and I've added it to my tbr too haha
“No more till I finish these” I say this all the time 🙈 I justify it because most of my books are from the charity shop so it’s not super expensive, but it still contributes to the huge pile on the floor! I read my first Stacey halls the other day - The Familairs - and really enjoyed it so looking forward to reading more by her. Circe was so amazing, really different to anything I’ve read before in the way it was written.
I found The Once and Future Witches in a used bookstore a couple weeks ago and absolutely loved it. I was reading it so fast that I actually took a break and saved the last third for a bit because I wanted it to look forward to after a long week. 😅 I hope you love it!
Perfect Sunday morning video! I've added some of these to the to read list (I'm trying to stick to kindle versions due to limited space, bit I miss the feel and smell of real life books!)
Was so excited to see your upload. Currently off work with covid. It literally worked it way through everyone in our house. Coughing my guts up but some Lucy Wood will definitely help!
My pile is going to look like your pile because I keep adding to my Amazon cart. I’m totally fine with that, books bring joy, we all need joy! That is my justification!!!
The audio book for The Good Immigrant is amazing, if I remember correctly each author reads their own story/essay which really added to the experience!
Oh my gosh I was gifted The Song of Achilles and Circle by Madeline Miller for Christmas and they are sitting on my to read shelf, they have now been promoted to the top as you have reignited my intrigue in getting into these books, thank you x 12 books = 1 book a month, you got this x
I absolutely loved "Miss England" ❤ I received it as a Christmas present & couldn't put it down! (I also work with children, so found the dynamic of her job fascinating). Thanks for the "Good immigrant" recommendation, I'll definitely be giving this a read.
A Secret History is one of my all time favourite novels - it will live in me forever. Circe is wonderful. Just added Mrs England to my list. it bypassed me, too!!
very here for the ACOMAF reading vlog!! And just to make you feel better, my TBR is 2 bookcases long and I'm in a V deep reading slump😬, so you're doing pretty well by my standards!
Firstly looking forward to the reading vlog ! Second yes my tbr is over 100 books 📚 haha I really want to try that Sarah J Maas I'm not a usual fantasy reader have read the odd one 🤔 I've ummm and arr'd for so long, only seen good things about the series just don't know if it is too far out of my comfort zone. Great stack books ....enjoy xx
I have a three tier cart and a four shelf bookcase of my TBRs so your pile is manageable. I really need to put myself on a book buying time out, as I say that and I just ordered three new books from Amazon lol. I need help
Always love your book videos! I actually do have a ridiculous amount of books to read if it helps. I’ve had Circe sitting on my shelf for years and since SoA is one of my favourites I know I’m going to love it but I still haven’t got around to reading it. I will get to it this year! Also there’s a few on here I’ve been wanting to read and forgot about so thanks for the reminder.
So stoked you’re going to read Circe!! But oddly equally stoked you’re going to read The Love Hypothesis. It such an enjoyable easy read. I didn’t realize I needed STEM-related romance!
I have a very similar size TBR list 😂 I loved Circe, couldn't recommend it more. Might have to add The Once and Future Witches to my list..sounds right up my street
I was in foyles last week and say crying in h Mart in paper book, so that’s already out 😂 I loved you and me on vacation, as you said for almost a cleanser between heavier books. I need to read the song of Achilles soon as I can’t avoid people talking about it, and then I may tackle Circe. Your tbr pile is nothing compared to mine sadly, I have over 100 books that I own but haven’t yet read which is madness. But buying books is a separate hobby to reading
I don't know why I allow myself to watch your book video's I have also put myself on a book ban until I get down my recently purchased pile... Most of which I bought as a result of watching your latest book review video 🤣 I'm now 4.05 in to this and already popped onto amazon to make an order 😂😂 I just love your book video's what can I say! 😁📙
Ahhhh so jealous that you are getting to read Circe for the first time! Thank you for letting me know there's a new Stacey Hall book, I loved The Familiars. Also completely get you about the green and gold, I ended up decorating my living room in these colours 😂
Also I highly recommend you read The Rules of Magic, it follows Jet and Franny's childhood and how they end up in the house on Magnolia Street. It's my favourite out of the series (there's also Magic Lessons and The Book of Magic).
I love the variety in your book selection, Lucy! Also your video background is so fun as well as aesthetic 💭✨I added Practical Magic to my wishlist aaages ago, but I think it might finally be time to pick it up!
I just finished Mrs England and I really enjoyed it would defiantly recommend, also the Audiobook reader has a Brummy accent which is so fun because you hardly ever listen to book where they have regional British accents lol
ACOMAF is my favourite book of all time -- Definetly a soul book for me, I bloody love it. And yes, it will change everything you think about book 1! Enjoy ;) Side note - You may prefer Sarah J Mass' other series, Throne of Glass. Its just as wonderful but slightly different (great descirption Em! ) The first 2 books are a bit slow, but it has 7 books in total and is spectacular. Anyways, happy reading!
I read Circe first and then read The Song of Achilles on your recommendation and I think personally I prefer Circe so I hope that you do like it. I'm now reading Ariadne by Jennifer Saint. As you can tell I'm on a bit of a Greek mythology kick at the minute. Love to hear your thoughts on these once you've had the opportunity to read them.
Hi friends ☺️ cats are intuitive creatures right thanks for this I do a book swap with a friend & it’s a great way to read something I wouldn’t normally buy
I didn't like Song of Achilles as much as everyone did, but I read it yeeaaars ago, when my taste hadn't fully developed yet (and I wasn't yet very used to reading in English), so I really want to give it another try, since it sounds right up my alley "on paper", and also since I absolutely LOVED Circe, which I read much more recently (last year). So yeah, I hope you'll love Circe as much as I did. I also can't help but ALWAYS finish books, even if I'm not really enjoying them (that happens quite rarely, luckily, I feel like I know my taste pretty well), just in case they surprise me.
I found Wob (world of books) recently and it is going to be dangerous. They sell mostly used books that they buy from charity shops if they don't want them or don't have the space or the ones consumers sell on ziffit. I've been studying Korean and I found the most gorgeous fully illustrated Korean edition of the Jungle book on there and it is all the motivation I need to keep studying so that I can one day read that immaculate thing cover to cover. Also picked up The Mercies for my mum for mother's day based on your recommendation!
A court of mist and fury is all about the guy (the guy!). I can't tell you what I love about it (him) without spoiling but you will race through it, I promise. Looking forward to that reading vlog
Oooo so many to add to my own list! Also, if you love magical historical fiction you should check out Hannah Kent. She writes outstanding books and her new one Devotion is my new fave book of all time.
*Adds even more books to my TBR 😆 I’m reading The Rose Code by Kate Quinn at the moment for a book club, and am loving it. It’s set at Bletchley Park during WW2 and I love the historical nostalgia and mystery. It’s one of those I think I’ll be sad to finish 🥲
Why did I think when you said you went to work in the Waterstones cafe for the day that you meant you were actually working in the cafe making coffees & suchlike?? Only for a second but still 😂
I have a lot of denial around my TBR pile because my boyfriend shoved them all into empty spaces in our bookcases and now I can't keep track of how many unread books I have... maybe today will be the day to find out! Loved Circe so much and currently reading The Song of Achilles - hoping it's as good as Circe!
The book I have read about 20 times is And I Don’t Want To Live This Life by Deborah Spungeon. It’s about her daughter Nancy who was killed by Sid Vicious. Sounds grim but it’s incredible, makes me cry every time. I’m also halfway through This Is Not A Pity Memoir by Abi Morgan and it is so good xxx
Honestly A Court of Mist and Fury is so much better than A Court of Thorns and Roses! I loved ACOTAR, but it walked so ACOMAF could run 😏 I am a massive fan of Sarah J. Maas and would recommend her other series, Throne of Glass and Crescent City. Some of the books in those series’ are absolutely massive but so worth it for the incredible plot and characters x
So many good picks! Circe was a beautiful read, I’m glad it’s near the top of your tbr. I have a lot of these on my shelves tbr: ACOMAF, Love Hypothesis, If We We’re Villains, the once and future witches. If it helps, I started with a 1 shelf book collection in Jan 2021. I now have 3 bookshelves…🙄 it’s an addiction
Perfect timing for a book haul video 😁 I've just got into my yearly "get back into reading" cycle and am working my way through the stupid amount of books I picked up in Waterstones 😂 Also it's so much fun to see what other people are in to! I'm working my way through James Herbert's Rats series 😱 😁
I'd really love a Lucy Wood book club!!
SO many of these I have ALMOST picked up in bookshops - I have STROKED so many of these. Just read another Alix E. Harrow, The Ten Thousand Doors of January and it really surprised me, SUCH good writing, really fantastical.
🤣 I've stroked many of these books in the store as well haha! I've actually had my eye on The Ten Thousand Doors of January for a while... I may have to treat myself...
I need some new books to read, I need lucy wood and I need leena. and here you are 😄
Okay but after going a year without reading (very much mental health related), the ACOTAR series got me back into my love of reading. I’ve read all five books in the past three weeks and I’m so excited for you to read Mist and Fury! The first book is trash compared to books 2 and 3,
Library haul?! Like maybe going in and browsing like we all did as kids and choosing some? x
I love the idea of doing a big library haul but I’m quite a slow reader so could only really get one at a time 😆
ACOMAF is worth it. It just keeps you on your toes and I think you’ll love it
Some great picks! I've read about half of these and just a word of caution that 'Detransition, Baby' has some heavier themes & can be hard to read too much in one sitting. I like to cycle a heavy & lighter book to read simultaneously so I can get through my TBR pile without feeling too down (and not have nightmares reading something upsetting before bed)!
I am LOVING all the book content at the moment!
Love your book content. Excited to see A Court of Mist and Fury on there - one of my faves!! I also have Circe on my TBR - can't wait to pick it up :D
This might've been commented already but you can use a hairdryer on hot to warm the sticker glue and it peels right off! ❤️ Also Circe is great I listened to it on audible
or use warm water and a pot scourer with washing up liquid and it will scrub off easily
I’m intrigued to see what you think of Detransition Baby as I find we usually have very similar book opinions and I didn’t like it at all, despite the rave reviews! I’ve just added so many books to my to-buy list so thank you
Lucy, your book videos are probably my all-time favorite videos to watch on TH-cam! I'm so glad you've done so many recently, and can't wait to see how you get on with these books! I am absolutely dying to read The Song of Achilles because of your description of it ❤️

i am absolutely living for all this book content! loving it
🎶🎵 You put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up 🎵🎶 I had no idea it was a book! That is one of my favorite movies, EVER! I’m loving all this book content. You are inspiring me to get busy! Thank you!
Circe might be my favourite book of all time! You are going to love it!
I currently have 90 books on my physical TBR 😅 to say it's gotten out of hand is a severe understatement! I read Circe a couple years ago and it is an all time favourite book!
Yay Love Hypothesis! It's so fun! It's such a great read. It started out as a Star Wars fan fic. Hope you enjoy!
Circe is one of my favourite books, it’s wonderful! 🔆 It transports you to another world, hope you enjoy 😊
I love the love hypothesis. It is so good
I really recommend getting a kindle. I read a lot, and i'm in love with my kindle paperback! Ebooks are so much cheaper than fysical books, and it saves space. If I rate a book 5 stars, then I buy a fysical copy so I can have my favorites on a shelf!

1) This haul size is totally reasonable, and you shouldn’t feel bad for all these recent purchases. 💜
2) I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO READ MIST AND FURY OMG!!!! Aaaaaand so excited you’re going to vlog it!
3) The Once and Future Witches is AWESOME.
4) I LOVE FLO CAMEOS AND AM HERE FOR ALL THE FLO CONTENT! 🖤😽
Thanks for the recommendations! Mist and Fury is going to hook you for sure! Loved that book! I just saw that Practical Magic has a prequel yesterday, but I didn't get it so I can't remember the title. It's set much earlier, though, so I might go back and get it.

SAME, libraries are underrated
I just finished Circe for my book club and really enjoyed it!
Your tbr is completely manageable mine is 100% taking over my home. Floating somewhere around 600 for my tbr 🙈 but there is always so many good new books out
Some great books on this list 🤩 The Secret History is one of my favourite books too! we Were Villians is also a really good read, enjoy!
I am so excited for the reading vlog - ACOMAF is amazing, I hope you enjoy it!
These book videos are my absolute favourite ones to watch! 😍❤
What a cosy amazing video xxxx here for all the book content
Idk if anyone has commented this, but from someone who works in WHSMith and has to change book stickers weekly, a lil tip. Peel of the sticker, get as much as you can off, and then use a rubber to rub off the rest. It doesn't always 100% work dependent on the finish of the cover, but it usually works pretty well!
yes yes yes!! sunday morning with a Lucy book video, my knitting needles and a hot chocolate near me. perfection!! 🥰
So many books on my tbr here! Crying in H Mart was amazing and made me sob. It was so beautifully written and I adored it
Cutest cat ever. Bless! 💕
My TBR pile is currently sitting at 35 books 🙈 I put myself on a ban after Christmas until my birthday in May which so far I have stuck to!
Great picks. I am currently reading Mrs. England. I'm really enjoying it so far, great atmosphere. It doesn't get published here in Canada until April, but I was able to get an ARC from Netgalley.
Here to validate your books stack. I have over 200 books on my physical tbr and who knows how many on my kindle. Borrowing the audiobooks for them from the library when possible has helped me make some headway though. I somehow had never heard of Detransition Baby but it sounds fantastic and I've added it to my tbr too haha
“No more till I finish these” I say this all the time 🙈 I justify it because most of my books are from the charity shop so it’s not super expensive, but it still contributes to the huge pile on the floor! I read my first Stacey halls the other day - The Familairs - and really enjoyed it so looking forward to reading more by her. Circe was so amazing, really different to anything I’ve read before in the way it was written.
I have a similar sized pile! I'm also trying to get through what I've got before buying more, I'm one book down so far
I found The Once and Future Witches in a used bookstore a couple weeks ago and absolutely loved it. I was reading it so fast that I actually took a break and saved the last third for a bit because I wanted it to look forward to after a long week. 😅 I hope you love it!
Perfect Sunday morning video!

Was so excited to see your upload. Currently off work with covid. It literally worked it way through everyone in our house. Coughing my guts up but some Lucy Wood will definitely help!
yes! i loved 'if we were villains' and i have 'secret history' on my shelves for this fall!
My pile is going to look like your pile because I keep adding to my Amazon cart. I’m totally fine with that, books bring joy, we all need joy! That is my justification!!!
The audio book for The Good Immigrant is amazing, if I remember correctly each author reads their own story/essay which really added to the experience!
Oh my gosh I was gifted The Song of Achilles and Circle by Madeline Miller for Christmas and they are sitting on my to read shelf, they have now been promoted to the top as you have reignited my intrigue in getting into these books, thank you x
12 books = 1 book a month, you got this x
I read The People We Meet on Vacation (U.S.A. title for You and Me on Vacation) and loved it. I hope you do too.
such a good haul! happy reading! glad i found your channel
My TBR is currently 22 physical books and 2 audio books!
I absolutely loved "Miss England" ❤ I received it as a Christmas present & couldn't put it down! (I also work with children, so found the dynamic of her job fascinating). Thanks for the "Good immigrant" recommendation, I'll definitely be giving this a read.
Do we have similar book taste. No
Will i sit and listen to you talk about your books all day. Yes Yes Yes you make me want to pick every one up 🤷🏼♀️
Hahahaa this put into words exactly how I felt! Haha don’t we love that😂🧡🧡
Thank you for getting me back into reading for pleasure and not just self development 💜💜💜
A Secret History is one of my all time favourite novels - it will live in me forever. Circe is wonderful. Just added Mrs England to my list. it bypassed me, too!!

I really want to try that Sarah J Maas I'm not a usual fantasy reader have read the odd one 🤔 I've ummm and arr'd for so long, only seen good things about the series just don't know if it is too far out of my comfort zone.
Great stack books ....enjoy xx
You're going to love Circe!!🌻Just added loads to my Goodreads list 😂🙌
I have a three tier cart and a four shelf bookcase of my TBRs so your pile is manageable. I really need to put myself on a book buying time out, as I say that and I just ordered three new books from Amazon lol. I need help
Always love your book videos! I actually do have a ridiculous amount of books to read if it helps. I’ve had Circe sitting on my shelf for years and since SoA is one of my favourites I know I’m going to love it but I still haven’t got around to reading it. I will get to it this year!

Circe is soo good! You'll love it 🧡
So stoked you’re going to read Circe!! But oddly equally stoked you’re going to read The Love Hypothesis. It such an enjoyable easy read. I didn’t realize I needed STEM-related romance!
I have 100+ books on my physical TBR so you’ve got this little stack!
I have a very similar size TBR list 😂 I loved Circe, couldn't recommend it more. Might have to add The Once and Future Witches to my list..sounds right up my street

Hi friends ☺️ cats are intuitive creatures right thanks for this I do a book swap with a friend & it’s a great way to read something I wouldn’t normally buy
I am SO excited for you to read ACOMAF
I've also got a court of mist and fury on my list!
I didn't like Song of Achilles as much as everyone did, but I read it yeeaaars ago, when my taste hadn't fully developed yet (and I wasn't yet very used to reading in English), so I really want to give it another try, since it sounds right up my alley "on paper", and also since I absolutely LOVED Circe, which I read much more recently (last year).

*Adds even more books to my TBR 😆 I’m reading The Rose Code by Kate Quinn at the moment for a book club, and am loving it. It’s set at Bletchley Park during WW2 and I love the historical nostalgia and mystery. It’s one of those I think I’ll be sad to finish 🥲
Why did I think when you said you went to work in the Waterstones cafe for the day that you meant you were actually working in the cafe making coffees & suchlike?? Only for a second but still 😂
I have a lot of denial around my TBR pile because my boyfriend shoved them all into empty spaces in our bookcases and now I can't keep track of how many unread books I have... maybe today will be the day to find out! Loved Circe so much and currently reading The Song of Achilles - hoping it's as good as Circe!
The book I have read about 20 times is And I Don’t Want To Live This Life by Deborah Spungeon. It’s about her daughter Nancy who was killed by Sid Vicious. Sounds grim but it’s incredible, makes me cry every time. I’m also halfway through This Is Not A Pity Memoir by Abi Morgan and it is so good xxx
the TBR pile is now over 50 books ... also Emily Henry is amazing and ive loved all her books!
I am currently reading Circe and can confirm it is pure Madeline Miller magnificence !
Honestly A Court of Mist and Fury is so much better than A Court of Thorns and Roses! I loved ACOTAR, but it walked so ACOMAF could run 😏 I am a massive fan of Sarah J. Maas and would recommend her other series, Throne of Glass and Crescent City. Some of the books in those series’ are absolutely massive but so worth it for the incredible plot and characters x
I honestly have about 200 on my TBR pile so I wouldn’t worry 🤣 some great ones there!
Flo clearly loves bookish content. 💕
So many good picks! Circe was a beautiful read, I’m glad it’s near the top of your tbr. I have a lot of these on my shelves tbr: ACOMAF, Love Hypothesis, If We We’re Villains, the once and future witches. If it helps, I started with a 1 shelf book collection in Jan 2021. I now have 3 bookshelves…🙄 it’s an addiction
“You know him, old odie” 😂 love these videos even though they are feeding and validating my addiction 😬
Wish I could read Circe again for the first time ahhhhhh!
Perfect timing for a book haul video 😁 I've just got into my yearly "get back into reading" cycle and am working my way through the stupid amount of books I picked up in Waterstones 😂
Also it's so much fun to see what other people are in to! I'm working my way through James Herbert's Rats series 😱 😁
After watching this video I just immediately felt the need to read and … so I did. 📚❤️✨ thank you Lucy!
Lucy A count of myst and fury is AMAZING, the previous book is crap compared 😂
My cat is called Flo too!! 😻
