you could also flip the books in your shelf, so with the spine against the wall in a random order and then draw a random number. This way you don’t have to wrap them, which also saves some waste
I do the exact same thing but just using my goodreads shelves. On goodreads there is a "want to read" shelf so I just enter the number of books that are on that shelf and do the number generator thing. The books are numbered on the shelves already.
I've been doing this ever since I watched Sara's video and it makes it so much fun, being able to pick a book at random and not know what it is! I've got friends to pick the number that links to the book I unwrap to make it even more fun! I love that you're doing this
I understand how Carrie Soto is back may seem uninteresting, but I just finished reading it and I think it’s a really well written book (especially if you like to see character growth in the books you read). I also think she did an amazing job with writing Carrie Soto’s emotions and feelings. I would love to see you reading it soon
I adore the Once Upon A Broken Heart series, but I also really enjoyed Stephanie’s writing in all of the Caraval books as well, it might just not be for you!
Hope you enjoy Once Upon a Broken Heart! It’s my FAVORITE series! I liked it more than Caraval! The second book to the Broken Heart series is better though!😊
could you read it without reading all of the caraval series? I read the first two books last year and the third one doesn't interest me, but I think I would like once upon a broken heart
You should cover a bunch of books but only the front, back and spine of the book. Number them and pick a random one and read it but because it's covered you don't know what book your reading and once you've finished the book you can try and guess what book it is, the genre, the title and then unwrap the book revealing what it actually was to see how close you were.
I always love these types of TBR's! I did something similar a few years ago for Valentine's Day and it was super exciting to get a little surprise each day. Instead of opening them up in my TBR video, I opened up a new book each time I finished the one before it. Good luck with your picks!
a curse so dark and lonely is amazing!! one of my biggest surprises this year, especially as someone who isn’t a huge fantasy reader. I absolutely loved it!!
Totally agree! I have seen a lot of people say it is boring or it was a terrible book but I really enjoyed it! I have to say though I totally ship Harper and Grey
i myself have generally only heard good reviews of the assassin’s blade, but i can see how it being a prequel short story collection may not float some people’s boats. i gave it 4.5 stars when i read it, and i thought it was a really wonderful collection of short stories that were genuinely very enjoyable and only added depth to the experience! i wouldn’t let the negative reviews hinder me :)
same! i expected to not love it because it interrupted the main storyline but i honestly really enjoyed all of them! same with tower of dawn, i thought it would be boring and that i’d be anxious to get back to the main plot but it was like a breath of fresh air lol i rly enjoyed it
Girl! I love your vlogs soooo much. I don't know what makes it so compelling. Atmosphere, books or your energy, but anytime I start your video I have this energy boost and am willing to enjoy my reading more. So thank you!
I love unwrapping books. It is so fun. I am doing a 24 days of Bookmas this year with a bunch of holiday/wintery books off my shelves. Just wrapped them tonight. Hope you enjoy the books you chose.
The author of A Curse So Dark and Lonely is one of my favorite authors. Brigid wrote the Defy the Night series (one of my favorites), and Letters to the Lost, another favorite. Highly recommend her work!
I liked this video soooo much, expecially when you were waiting to get the book you wanted. Im really looking forward to the vlog abt it. Love u, Haley!!!
Stalking Jack the Ripper is one of my all time favorite series!! It is soooo good. I love the plot and storyline, the setting and the characters. Such a unique twist on classically known stories both fiction and real.
Swear on This Life is one of my absolute favorites!! It deals with overcoming childhood trauma in addition to the romance story and has some nice quotes. The story within a story is cool. I read it years ago before similar books cropped up, none of them totally measured up to SOTL for me. And I have Tweet Cute on my kindle and keep telling myself I need to read soon!

i loved the assassin’s blade! i read it after heir of fire and it was my favorite in the series out of those first 4. they’re not really “short stories” since they all continue off each other in chronological order. it was the first time i really felt connected to celaena and kind of wish i read it first in the series. don’t sleep on it!!!
Aaa I love how your reading the second book in The shadow and bone series! I’m currently about 30 pages from the end of the first one, then im so excited to see the end!
Yayyyy you’re finally gonna read Once Upon A Broken Heart! I hope you will love it it’s different from Caraval and it’s so sweet and whimsical ❤ can’t wait to see what you think. This is literally my fav book!
HI i felt the same way abt the caraval series! but once upon a broken heart & ballad of never after are one of my favorite series! it is so much easier to get into in my opinion🖤
I read assassins blade after I read the full series and really enjoyed it! It was a fun easy read that just gives a bit more info about the main characters backstory, highly recommend not skipping!
Once upon a broken heart is my new favorite book. Easily five stars. I’m obsessed with Jacks from caraval and he’s the main love interest in the spinoff duology. The plot is amazing, I couldn’t put the book down.
I read Tweet Cute, expected it to be okay, but it was an 5⭐️ for me! Really enjoyed it. Not in this video, but I think you’ll like This Woven Kingdom by Taherah Mafi🥰
Currently obsessed with rory gilmore challange and blind date w/books videos and you literally upload both of them in a week soo I've started to think you're my fairy godmother or something 💛
OMG DEFINITELY DOING THIS I was thinking that I wanted to wrap books just for the aestheticI can't believe I never thought of this wow thanks for another video haleyy I love your reading era I've been watching you since you moved to you first apartment alone!! ❤❤

This is a good idea! I just started reading Twilight a few weeks ago, because I found a brand new book set in a thrift store and wanted to read something I didn't own. I'm on the second book and never have seen the movies, so it's exciting!
i read once upon a broken heart and thought it wasn’t very good however the second book ballad of never after is my new all time favorite book it’s sooo good definitely recommend
The Cursebreakers series was so surprising to me, because I thought it'd be like a rushed written YA fantasy, but it was so good (I only got annoyed with one character in the second and third books) but after I had to read Forging Silver into Stars (which might be my favorite book of the year). Then I read Defy the Night and Defend the Dawn and loved them. Basically Kemmerer is becoming one of my favorite authors. Afterwards, I was in a reading slump because I couldn't find anything that held my attention and made me excited the way they did so I switched genres for a month and half and now I'm currently rereading favorite books to get over that slump 🙃 (Bad books don't put me in slumps but rather really good books do)

I LOVE THIS! I wanna do this with all my unread books!!! But it's about 170 books sooo wish me luck with wrapping all of those. I work at a bookstore though, so I'm pretty good at wrapping books now hehe.
Haley, I would love it if you would read one of my all time favorite books. It’s really unheard of but it’s called The Grace Year by Kim Liggett. It’s a fantasy/mystery with a little romance. (I literally never hear anyone talk about this book and I would love if more people did)
I would do this but I don’t have the energy to wrap them and then unwrap them lmao
Lmfaoo same 😅
Then I different idea would be to put all of your tbr on pieces of paper. Then randomly selecting them. That is what I do 😊
you could also flip the books in your shelf, so with the spine against the wall in a random order and then draw a random number. This way you don’t have to wrap them, which also saves some waste
I did this but put them in gift bags with a sticky note with numbers on them so I didn't waste the bag and didn't spend hours wrapping them
I do the exact same thing but just using my goodreads shelves. On goodreads there is a "want to read" shelf so I just enter the number of books that are on that shelf and do the number generator thing. The books are numbered on the shelves already.
Seems like you've picked the right books for your TBR. Keep up the good work, Haley. We will support you no matter what.
Couldn’t agree more. I can’t wait to see what She thinks about them
I've been doing this ever since I watched Sara's video and it makes it so much fun, being able to pick a book at random and not know what it is! I've got friends to pick the number that links to the book I unwrap to make it even more fun! I love that you're doing this

I also think she did an amazing job with writing Carrie Soto’s emotions and feelings. I would love to see you reading it soon
Justice for Carrie Soto is Back! 🤣🤣
I loved this book sooo much, had to cry a couple of times too😂
i love how nervous she was to read once apon a broken heart only to absolutely love it
Once upon a broken heart and the ballad of never after are my favorite books of the year ❤️
Yes! They are so good, so excited for the 3rd book
Do you need to read the Caraval series first?? I want to read them all but don't know what order!
@@samanthahackett8162 no you don't
@@samanthahackett8162 no but it definitely spoil the caraval series so if you have no interest in reading caraval you can read it separately
@@mariamhosny1590 gotcha, thank you!!
I adore the Once Upon A Broken Heart series, but I also really enjoyed Stephanie’s writing in all of the Caraval books as well, it might just not be for you!
watching this while I crochet 🧶 can’t think of a more cozy day 😂❤️ can’t wait to see your thoughts on the ones you picked!!
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IMDOING RN
@@Lin-zb7hs omg lol! It’s the best thing to do while watching CZcams
I'm doing this too!!
I love Naomi Novick’s writing. ❤ The Schoolmance Trilogy is great and so is Uprooted. Spinning Silver is next on my list.
Hope you enjoy Once Upon a Broken Heart! It’s my FAVORITE series! I liked it more than Caraval! The second book to the Broken Heart series is better though!😊
could you read it without reading all of the caraval series? I read the first two books last year and the third one doesn't interest me, but I think I would like once upon a broken heart
@@taylorelizabeth9018 Stephanie Garber herself said you don’t have to read the Caraval series to read the Broken Heart series and you really don’t!😊
@@sso1865 thank youu
Love this video idea!!
Next time I think it would be a good idea to keep them wrapped until it’s time to read the book to keep the excitement :)
You should cover a bunch of books but only the front, back and spine of the book. Number them and pick a random one and read it but because it's covered you don't know what book your reading and once you've finished the book you can try and guess what book it is, the genre, the title and then unwrap the book revealing what it actually was to see how close you were.
YESS TWO VIDEOS BACK TO BACK INVOLVING READING!!
I always love these types of TBR's! I did something similar a few years ago for Valentine's Day and it was super exciting to get a little surprise each day. Instead of opening them up in my TBR video, I opened up a new book each time I finished the one before it. Good luck with your picks!

I read stalking Jack the Ripper when it came out, and it’s one of my favourite books!! Love the mystery & the romance

Next year you should totally try getting one of those Book Advent Calendars where you get books wrapped in paper and open one everyday! :)
yay new book video 🎉🎉 you should join the “books i want to read before the end of the year” trend!!!
The author of A Curse So Dark and Lonely is one of my favorite authors. Brigid wrote the Defy the Night series (one of my favorites), and Letters to the Lost, another favorite. Highly recommend her work!
