✨About Me:
I'm Codie, avid book reader, tea addicted and living in Edinburgh, Scotland. I post videos about books and bookish things and I would love for you to join the conversation :) - Zábava
You 100% should read Inkheart! First off that's a stunning edition that you have, second it's just one of my favorite books ever. I love all of Cornelia Funke's books, but Inkheart was the first of hers I read and it was amazing and forever has a special place in my heart.
I second Inkheart! The series is DELIGHTFUL
I loved the inkheart trilogy
I read it as a early teenager and loved it. I am currently re-reading it as my "long book" in believathon. I am having the BEST time it absolutely stands the test of time for me. It is such a comfort being amongst characters who love books, the writing is beautiful, characters are fully fleshed out, there is intrigue and plot. I hope you enjoy it!
BLACK SUN oh my god I BEG more people need to read it!! The characters, the tension, the religious tension and worldbuilding, everything is so masterful, and the beautiful but not overly flowery writing is just the cherry on top!
SHE WHO BECAME THE SUN ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ also heartstopper, fullmetal alchemist and death note are sooooo good!
really liked this kind of video, but i do kind of miss the wheel. hopefully we can see them next month again 🥰
Such a cool idea!
Shelf one: Harlem Shake by Colson Whitehead
Shelf two: The Mercies by Kiran M. Hargreaves
Shelf three: Inkheart by Cornelia Funke
Trolley: She who became the sun by Shelley Parker-Chan
Shelf four: Murder on the Orient Express
Floor: Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall
Ooo, "Get A Life, Chloe Brown" is SO GOOD. The Brown Sisters Trilogy is just great as a whole.
Also, "Jade War"!! Knocked me flat on my ass. Definitely recommend it.
I LOVED "The Jasmine Throne".
"Iron Widow"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of my favorite books, hands down.
But, the two I would probably recommend most for this month would be: "Iron Widow" (when I tell you I FLEW through this...) and "Jade War" (that way you can be prepped for "Jade Legacy"!)
I've decided on some 2nd books in series: Jade War, The Kingdom of Copper and The Great Hunt :)
Where the Crawdads Sing is fantastic. The writing is beautiful and the story is so intriguing.
I definitely recommend Legendborn. Full in love with that book from first few pages, especially as I dig anything with King Arthur theme. Finished in couple of days and it's so far my favourite read of 2021.
Some that I have read and enjoyed are:
Get a life Chloe brown, black sun, the blade itself, call down the hawk, keeper of the lost cities, the year of the witching and the troop
Okay, first of all I would recommend Heartstopper Volume 4 for obvious reasons.
Then I think you should try Inkheart. It is an amazing story and I really hope that the translation is as good as the german Original because Cornelia Funke has an incredible way of writing. The story is very unique, especially the "magic" and you have great characters. Lovable ones and good villains.
I also saw Black Prism there and I think you should give it a go. It too has an unique magic system, different to everything I ever read and one of the main characters is highly morally grey xD It was a lot of fun to read!
Also I hope you stay safe and healthy and happy and have a great reading month!
😊
The Cat Who Saved Books is absolutely adorable. Really quick read too. The Prison Healer's ending I still think about today and I read it a few months ago. Did not see it coming at all.
Black Sun!! Also where the crawdads sing is a fantastic book. And finally year of the witching :)
BLACK SUN!!! It's so good, I read it in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. Also, She Who Became the Sun and Iron Widow are both fantastic, and great if you want to read about female characters who know what they want and go and get it, without caring if they are seen as 'nice' or not. Six Crimson Cranes is also great. The Death of Vivek Oji will make you cry, but it is so worth it. When I finished I sobbed for twenty minutes then called a friend and talked her into buying a copy.
Murder on the orient express and winter of the witch are perfect winter books.
There are so many options to choose from but I have narrowed it down!😂 I would love to hear your thoughts on (in order of priority) Heartstopper 4, Six Crimson Cranes, The cat who saved books, Murder on the Orient Express and The strange case of the Alchemist’s daughter. If you end up choosing any here I hope you love them!
1) Clap When You Land - really recommend the audiobook narrated by the author!
2) Get a Life, Chloe Brown - This book got me out of a reading slump and I loved the dynamic between the main characters!
3) Lore - bloody and gory and it took me a few chapters to get into, but afterwards I couldn't put it down!
Excited to find out what your November TBR will look like
Loved The Cat Who Saved Books and of course Inkheart! Also Horseman and You Let Me In.
KINGDOM OF COPPER and then My year of rest and relaxation, jade war, bone witch, malibu rising, Darling, the once and future witches! So many good choices! You got this 🥰
Ok there's two in there I would LOVE to know your thoughts because I have them too: The Betrayals, and The Beautiful Ones (I've loved all her other books so far so hoping I'd like this one too!)
For recommendations: Anxious People will make you laugh and cry at the same time and wonder why you didn't pick it up earlier, Malibu Rising is great if you want a quick, fun read this month. God of Jade and Shadows is a very Persephone type of story and I ADORED it! Legendborn is long for a YA but it's packed with action and so fun to read, defo recommend it too! And finally The Night Swim is reaaaally good and fast to read and made me want to listen to more true crime podcasts :)
✨ FINISH THE LORD OF THE RINGS ✨ Plus, the new Andy Serkis narrations are so good. I also love both the Daevabad and Winternight series, so recommending those too! (and a shout out for harrow because 🖤🖤🖤)
Yup, my vote also goes to The Lord of The Rings! Just do it 👌
I’m going to highly recommend the Abhorsen series; I truly believe you’ll love the series. It was one of the first epic fantasies I read as a teen that made me loveeee fantasy in general.
The Memory Police has a quiet melancholy feel that may be appropriate for a quiet winter read.
I’m going to “bully” you into not reading 1Q84 because it’s a whole lot of book with not a whole lot of resolution lol. It took me 3-4 months to finish and definitely gave me a huge reading slump.
Black sun!!! It’s fantastic. Also two towers is so fun!! We hunt the flame gorgeous and luuuush. And I really really enjoyed witches steeped in gold🙌
You can never go wrong with The Wheel of Time and Lord of the Rings. Those are one of my favorites, especially Wheel of Time
Jade war, silence of the girls, as good as dead and anxious people are all recent absolute favs of mine ☺️
Malice is sooo good! Loved the Faithfull and Fallen series. Omg yes Strange Case of the Alchemist Daughter, it needs so much more love
Project Hail Mary!!!
But also, Where the Crawdads Sing gave me the feels I was not expecting. I put it off for so long, but wish I had read it sooner.
I read Get a Life Chloe Brown in less than 24 hrs and absolutely loves it. Its sarcastic, playful, and super cute!
so many interesting books!✨ narrowed it down to these:
highly recommend:
- normal people
- my year of rest and relaxation
- the winter of the witch
would love to hear your thoughts on:
- convenience store woman
- empire of the vampire
- tender is the flesh
Please finish the Daevabad trilogy! If you loved the first, you will devour the rest-they just get better and better. The characters have a special place in my heart. ❤️
I absolutely loved everyday the walk home gets longer and longer; bonus it's so short!
Some of my faves I've read this year are Project Hail Mary, Empire of the Vampire and any Joe Abercrombie!
Malibu Rising was AMAZING!!! And I am in the middle of the new Frostheart book and LOVING IT!!
Ikea has a wooden wheel-of-fortunes in the kids section that could easily be transformed to fit your needs.
We Hunt the Flame and its sequel is one of the best series I have read this year. Definitely on my list of best books of all time!
Also Legendborn was a favorite from early this year. It was AMAZING
The Prison Healer was an amazing YA romantic fantasy! Gave me some throne of glass vibes
I love how you film your TBR tours!! Here’s my choices of what I’d like to see you read✨
- The Ex Hex
- The Beautiful Ones
- Clap When You Land
- Spin the Dawn
- The Troop
- The Black Flamingo
Leviathan Wakes, Foundryside, and Kingdom of Copper. All three of those books were great.
The Black Prism/Lightbringer series is sooooo good!
My final vote is for the Black Flamingo it is one of my favourite books of the year.
It is BEAUTIFUL - heartfelt and inspiring. You can read it quickly, or take your time. The layout is gorgeous the characters and the messages are wonderful. I just l8ve it.
I plan to re-read it next year.
(there is so much choice on here but in am e couragunf finishing series and short reads to balance out your big books!)
Malibu rising and legendborn are must reads!!! I also loved the Keeper of the lost city series, so cute and addicting 💖😍
Anxiom's End, The Shadow of what is lost, Inkheart, winterkeep, XOXO, This poison heart, Beast of prey, Beauty and the beast, The Cousins, Heartstopper all sound good to me...enjoy your reading this month 📚😍
And The Trees Crept In is amazing!!!
Jade War, The Shadow of What Was Lost, and Abhorsen most definitely recommend! Happy reading!
Oh so many great books I can’t pick one! My top suggestions to read asap-
Wheel of Time- It’s WORTH IT!
The Fires of Vengeance- The best currently being written fantasy series out there!
Daevabad- The Kingdom of Copper is the best middle book I have ever read!!
The Unbroken- I read it months back and haven’t stopped thinking about it!
The Death of Vivek Oji- be warned your heart will never be the same!
Anna Karenina- I started here with Tolstoy, was also petrified. Read it in just over a week and is my new favourite classic! 😁
Keeper of the lost cities is such a quick and fun read, and everyone on my bookstagram feed is raving about These Hollow Vows, I'm so hyped for it!
ohh, Legendborn and Project Hail Mary have been 2 of my favourites this year, both amazing!
I've always wanted to hear your opinions on "The Kingdom" actually!
Also, I'm so happy you posted an updated tbr shelf, it is such a cool video!
Project Hail Mary may be the best thing I've read this year, so so good
I'd love to see you get to The Memory Police, The Blade Itself, Foundryside and The Troop, because these are also the books on my tbr that I would potentially like to read this year! Would be cool to read them alongside other people :D
In other news, please read Murder on the Orient Express, Agatha Christie is just such a great author! This is one of my favourites by her (but you should also check out Crooked House!)
Definitely recommend Anxious People for some heart-warming, cheery but also hard-hitting commentary on humanity and our relations to each other! Black Sun since it is Indigathon and it is one of my favourite epic fantasy books! And Jade War of course since Jade Legacy is out so soon!
2 books I really loved are Clap when you land and The Last true poets of the sea! Also the Black Flamingo!!
So many good options!
So based off of what I’ve read, I recommend The Ex Hex (quick cute read with a second chance romance), The Night Swim (everything about it is great & one of my faves now), Fence (super quick read w/ great characters) and How the King of Elfhame… (if you loved the trilogy and Cardan you’ll love this since you get more of him).
Now based off of the ones that intrigued me the most, I say you read The Memory Police (it sounds like it’ll be a good read), As Good As Dead (loved the first book & heard good things about the third book), and I’ll “bully” you to read The Death of Vivek Oji (I need to read it as well and I feel like I know it’s going to be amazing and heartbreaking).
Ooh I'd love to see you read Darling!! Especially if you're looking forward to it. I also really loved She Who Became the Sun, the character of it was just so compelling!!
So many favourites featured - I'd definitely recommend you read Project Hail Mary, The Two Towers, The Fires of Vengeance, The Once and Future Witches, The Prison Healer, Murder on the Orient Express, As Good as Dead, The Hawthorne Legacy, The Black Flamingo, and Heartstopper 4.
I vote for Winter of the Witch and Heartstopper so you can get some series finished. Hearstopper 4 is my fave yet. So good and as always a fast read to break up the dense fantasy. Winter if the Witch, perfect time of year - this was a great blend of politics of book 2 and magic of book 1 and was a brilliant conclusion. And Vashya is just an utter legend.
That copy of empire of the vampire made me smile
You are definitely going to get more recs than time to read. But Project Hail Mary and The Betrayals are a must! So epic
You should definitely read A Closed and Common Orbit! It's so wholesome, plus it's always good to continue a series. Also, read Frostheart 3 for Believathon or Gavin will never forgive you 😂!
Inkheart was my childhood, I highly recommend it. In my opinion the series gets better and better with each book. I am currenty binging all of Agatha Christies novels and recommend all of them. :) The lost apothecary was a really quick read that I enjoyed a lot. I am also right now reading the Great Hunt and try to finish it before the series drops. I don't want to get spoiled, even though I don't know how much they took out of book 2.
I love Clap When You Land! Definitely recommend that one. Project Hail Mary was great as well. I also recommend Anxious People, Black Sun (a favorite book of 2021), Greenglass House, The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter, Spin the Dawn, Legendborn, and the Poison Heart - I will stop there because all of these are really good and that is enough of a TBR for one month!
Jade War 100%, it's so good! Agatha Christie is always such a cosy read perfect for this month and Heartstopper vol 4!
My votes, Malice, The Great Hunt, Gardens of the Moon. All 5 stars for me. With Gardens still being one of my top 2021 reads.
The shadow of what was lost and The dead and the dark are some of my fav reads this year, definitely recommend! 📚💕
1. Get a Life, Chloe Brown
2. Black Sun (I also really love Winter of the Witch but save it for when it's super cold out).
3. Kiss of Deception. The trilogy is perfect and underhyped and I want everyone to read it so they'll love it
Trolley: A Song of Wraiths and Ruin
Special Editions on thr Floor: Among the Beasts and Briar (I was surprised by how much I loved it)
Bottom shelf: The Night Swim
Floor: The Five - it reads so quickly/easily
I vote Convenience Store Woman, the Mercies, the Once and Future Witches, in the ravenous dark and You let me in! These are all favourites of the year for me
i'm honestly not sure if you'll like normal people but it's one of my favourites!
in the ravenous dark is my favourite book of the year!! and legendborn was one of my favourites from last year!
read: "And every morning the way home gets longer and longer" or "the Bone Witch" or "Redemptor" or "Legendborn" or all of the above :)
You should read three books from the list of books where you said, “why haven’t I read this yet?” Seems like you’re most excited for those. Also, Jade War.
I’m going to say Frostheart for Believathon - Gav would be so happy! 😆 also either of the Becky Chambers books too 😊
She who became the sun. You're in for a treat, even if maybe it's not going to be the kind of treat you think lol
Fable is so good! Also I loved Malice and Black Sin this year.
My vote is for The Death of Vivek Oji and Jade War! I also have to recommend 1Q84 as well, but it’s best to view it as a singular book and read all three back to back to get the most out of the story, as it’s a slow build. The audiobook is fantastic and has multiple narrators!
The Five Women Killed By Jack The Ripper is well written, worth a read. Available on Scribd. Beauty and the Beast is delightful. I also saw The Cousins, and Fable. Happy reading, love!
Project Hail Mary is so good! One of my favorites of the year. The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter is also really good. I ended up binging all 3 books on audio. I am reading The Great Hunt this month before watching the show. Kate Reading does the audiobook narration for both Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter and The Great Hunt (along with Michael Kramer). They are 2 of my favorite narrators.
The curious case of the alchemist daughter is sooo fun i loved it and i really think you would, im continuing the trilogy soon
I loved Silence of The Girls. Sad about elderlingalong ending but excited at what you pick for the next!!
Anxious People was my favorite read of 2020 and definitely Heartstopper too
My top recommendation is And the Trees Crept In. It’s an incredibly quick read because the author plays with font sizes. It was inspired by House of Leaves and it’s story is quite disturbing for YA. I cried at the end!
Black Sun!! That book is amazing! And you should definitely read Winter of the Witch and finish out the series! 💕💕
Ooo loved this video! I vote for Project Hail Mary, Tender is the Flesh, and The Night Swim.
read the five!! this is the month to do it 😂
also heartstopper! quick and easy to fit in
I really enjoyed The Prison Healer! I finished the last 200 pages in one sitting and there are so many great plot twist
as someone who's currently reading wheel of time, i have to plug the great hunt! but if not, then i vote continue with the daevabad trilogy!!
Legendborn!!!, Spin the Dawn, Tender is the flesh, The Troop, This Poison Heart, The Two Towers,
And every morning the way home gets longer and longer made me cry so many times. It was amazing.
Empire of the Vampire is the best thing I've read all year!
Here are all the books I wish you would read!
1. Malice by John Gwynne (my favorite adult epic fantasy of all time!)
2. The Shadow of What was Lost by James Islington
3. The Winter of the Witch by Katherine Arden
4. From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L Armentrout
5. Horrid by Katrina Leno
Yay I am so excited and so glad you did this video!
Definitely carry on with Death Note, it does some quite surprising things but is great fun right to the end. Brilliant story.
Books I loved sorted by mood/the type of book you want to pick up.
Goofy & romantic - Get a Life Chloe Brown & The Ex Hex
Dark & Creepy - Lakesedge & Horrid
Dramatic & Fun - Legendborn, Fable & Namesake
Emotional - All Boys Aren't Blue
Cool idea! I nominate The Kiss of Deception as I loved that series! Also I nominate The Prison Healer, I was surprised by how much I loved the first book as I was not expecting it. Just finished the sequel and thought that was just as good as well!
so many good books on your tbr! project hail mary is one of my favourite books this year and favourite books ever so i def recommend that. master of sorrows is excellent. jade war is amazing and with jade legacy coming out soon it's a must read. you can't go wrong with malice, black sun, or the kingdom of copper. and if you want a quick read (even though it doesn't look it) i highly highly recommend fullmetal alchemist. good luck with your november tbr 😊
I HIGHLY recommend The Shadow of What Was Lost by James Islington. It quickly became my all time favorite series. Dont be intimidated by the size it reads to fast and easy. The author was heavily inspired to start writing from Brandon Sanderson's books and they are AMAZING
I am currently reading Echo 9f things to come. Read Shadow in April and had to re-read Oct as there is so much going on in the plot. Highly anticipating it - only on chapter 4 so far, but my appetite is wetted.
@@ChattieTheMadChatter Its so good! When I finished book 1 it was an instant well now i gotta go to the book store and get 2 and 3. i read all three within a week cause i was so enthralled by the story
@@nixibar4285 it is one of the only books I have wanted to tab as there is so many pieces I want to stick together or checking if that memory or story is connected to this character. I am on chapter 10 now. 😃
This was so nice I really enjoy bone witch and the series I would recommend reading the winter of the witch
The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker is one of my all time favs!! I adored it so much! The Deep by Rivers Solomon is also so amazing for a shorter novella and so impactful I highly recommend it as well! Malice is SO good too so if you want some more chunky fantasies I’d definitely go for it!
Definitely read you let me in!! I just finished it and it was so so so good
A couple suggestions from your TBR based on the ones you pointed out explicitly in your video!
- The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa: I recommend this one to all the folks who like weird fiction. It is SO weird and SO good.
- Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri: Lots of point of views but a slow build story that goes buck wild at the end. Definitely a fun ride.
- The bone witch by rin chupeco: SUPER slow build but man is the world building absolutely divine in this one.
- Kingdom of Copper by SA Chakraborty: If you loved City of Brass……… it only gets better from there.
My vote goes to the book of accidents! It’s been sitting on my shelf and I’ve been wanting to read it but I haven’t heard a whole lot about it so I’m excited to see what you think!
Since you already have three big books, read your short books this month! Sayata Murata is weird af, but I like Convenience Store Girl. From what I've heard Backman is always a good idea, and Rivers Solomon is brilliant. And Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a quick read too. Or read all of your Middle Grade books. Inkheart is a great series. In short, keep this month's tbr easy and relaxing, December is coming and that tends to be a stressful month for most people.
Incendiary by Zoraida Cordova was such a surprise to me. I didn't really know what to expect, but it just blew me away. So underrated and needs 100% more hype! :) The Five is also fantastic, and the audiobook was a really good listen too xx
Wheel of time! I’m going to start book one and two this month to get prepared to watch the Amazon adaptation
