- I bought over 100+ of the most popular books since I've started my reading journey again this year and just 65+ books just this past month... so this calls for a book haul. I did my best to explain each of these titles so you have an idea of what each of these books are about :)

Comment your book recommendations please (romance & fantasy girly but I want to explore other genres
You have to read dark matter by Blake crouch (thriller) it's incredible!!!
Billy Summers
Whale
Better than the movies
Commenting Mistborn again 😍😍
If you love Fourth Wing, please try Fireborne trilogy (it has dragons, a lot of discussion about revolution, beautifully written, broke my heart)
I am new to Contemporary Romance genre this year (2024). But i have read 15 of them. I really love Christina Lauren's books - especially Love and Other Words and The Unhoneymooners. I also liked The Deal by Elle Kennedy (first book in a series), and loved Icebreaker by Hannah Grace (Wildfire is the second book and i am reading it right now.
I really liked The Seven Year Slip. I did not like The Beach read (I found the female main character both annoying super repetitive.. she acted like her world was ending every time the male character was quiet or he said something different or even just gave her a different look). The Beach Read was the first book i read by Emily Henry. I do have 2 more to try..
I love she is reading but that is a lot of commitment for a new reader. I would suggest not buying that many books as a newbie. Ever.
100% agreed
I know your trying to give her advice, but I think you should let her be. If she wants to do this let her do it! I get what your saying though, no hate! ❤
Yup. You dont quite know what you enjoy yet so doing this is horrible
I’ve been reading for years and even I don’t know what I want to read sometimes, I never buy more than one or two books at a time😅
Lol
I always gotta read the first book before buying the entire series
and I always gotta add new bookshelves after current one's overflowed ...
same. Or I read half of the first book in a library or online and THEN buy the series.
same
Same
Words to live by.
I don't understand how people can afford to buy this many books to fill a shelf. Don't shelf fill themselves over time. Like obviously it looks bomb, but yea idk..
She has/had an OF
The only difference is shes getting them all at once, shes still gonna read them
@@beelzemobabbity yeah and that's cool that she can afford this many at once
I bought over 100 books last month between book out and good will only spent $200 I also got the acotar for $47 off Amazon so there are ways to get good books for cheap
This is the book equivalent of fast fashion. What the heck. Only two minutes in and of the four books you showed us, two are special editions of the first two. This is just another case of overconsumption being glorified. We have real libraries if you want to be around a lot of books. You can check out a reasonably sized pile without spending hundreds of dollars and without cluttering your home.
Edit: I’m highly amused. You put something on the internet, you’re going to get opinions. And my opinion is that overconsumption is a problem in every community. If you don’t see it then you don’t see it. All I know is, my life (and wallet) were a whole lot happier when I realized this and become a more conscious consumer. My rule of thumb is to wait a month before buying something that can be classified as a “want.” If I still want it after a month then I will get it. If I only wanted it because it was trendy and/or I thought it would momentarily feel good, then I didn’t really want it. But that’s me. Take it as you will.
I really agree that this is overconsumption at it's finest & wonder why this comment isn't higher in the list. Also, why is there a rush to just fill a bookcase, why not take your time and curate your book case and get to know what you actually like, rather than blind buying 100 books..?
Debbie downer much? You too can reduce over consumption by only buying used items. So please stay out of the stores and buy nothing firsthand, otherwise you are just glorifying over consumption. And a friendly reminder… goods and services make the world go round; so if no one’s purchasing them, then no one‘s going to produce them.
I think a home library is a mixture of storage for your hobby and home decor. It’s no different than buying decor and art for your house. But in this case, the books serve a multipurpose because they are used. And anyone with a hobby likes to organize it or display it…for example, baseball cards, lego sets, art paintings, etc. Readers enjoy reading their favorites multiple times. You live only once; if books in your home make you happy, then that’s what you should buy. You can’t take money to the grave with you.
@@texasforever9009love!!!!!
I agree the overconsumption is a big problem, but she already knows what types of books she wants to read, and she went and bought the books she wanted to have at her home. She doesn’t have a home filled with book like most book tubers, in her case I really don’t see it as a big problem. Let her enjoy her book journey, and lets see how she does with book buying after this big book buy before criticizing her for it.
This feels really thoughtless, but perhaps there’s intentionality here and its just the repellent “haul” element that makes it feel that way.
stay mad
@@aurora-cc6hk mad about what?
@@rrodz1447 have fucking common sense
@@aurora-cc6hk lol damn did that escalate. Won’t take it personally, you must be going through something . My comment is way too mild for this level of hostility
@@rrodz1447 you're literally calling her a thoughtless person and attacking her character because she bought some measly books. seek therapy and stop harrassing others on the internet
i thinkk the reason your books aren't always the same size is because you have bought some normal paperbacks but also trade paperbacks! trade paperbacks are usually a bit bigger in size and a little bit more expensive, but there also should be the normal paperback version of the same book for sale :)
Sometimes the normal size isn’t released for a while afterwards tho! I wanted to read Happy place but I couldn’t find the normal size for ages 😭
@@user-we8dn5ub9z It's this. In countries like Australia, it's common for new books to first be released in trade-paperback. Then the normal size is released 9 months to a year afterwards.
@@user-we8dn5ub9z New books are released in the larger size (approx 24 cm high) and then they are re-released about a year later in the standard size (approx 20 cm high). I'm not exactly sure why they do this, other than to increase sales.
trade paperbacks are usually all that's available for the first year after a new book is released in Australia. very few publishers release standard size from day one
First of all, sure you can buy books all you want, no problem.
But I wonder: Are you buying them just to fill your shelves, or are you genuinely interested in reading all of them?
Most of us have at most 10 new unread books at home (according to our TBR), which are going to be read after finishing the current book. Depending on our mood after finishing the current book, we choose one of these 10 books accordingly. Therefore the variety of 10 different books (at most!). Although 10 are plenty, 5 or even 1 are also more than enough.
But 100+ books kind of make it seem you buy them for "aestetics" only.
Which definitely defeats the purpose of reading at all.
Anyway if you are really capable of reading a book a day, then go for it.
Finishing 100 books seems like a tough goal. Deactivate your social media to stay focused and get into the reading marathon you planned for yourself regarding these books. Keep reading!
Obviously she’s actually interested in reading them if she just recently purchased them and has already finished so many of them, some within the span of just a couple days. Not to mention that the ones she hasn’t read yet, she’s researched enough to know that she WILL actually read them, it wasn’t an impulsive purchase, she researched them enough to know the plot/genres/tropes, which order to read them, and which people recommended them while comparing their preferences to hers. It isn’t overconsumption if you actually get genuine use out of all the items.
I have WAY more than 10 books on my physical TBR. I actually have OVER 100 books on my physical TBR. She's living the dream! Why does that bother you?
@@magicivy same I currently have 79 books in my physical tbr and I finish a book around every 3 days lol. I think OP must just be more of a casual reader if they think no one has more than 10 books in their tbr 😂
This is nothing but other statement decor piece. Never seen a library this bare of love
Why are you gatekeeping books lol
i have no clue why people are hating. it's clear to me that your taste is impeccable because most of these books were like 5-stars for me and you're living my dream. i think most of the book are really similar to the ones you mentioned you liked so i don't think it's thoughtless- don't listen to them
because people think if they don't like one book, they wont like the other, but i believe no book is a loss, everything can teaches your something, adds to your imagination, maybe improve your critique, the good and the bad contribute to your mind and intellect
@@tabarekm Yea, but that’s if you finish the book. When reading something that you don’t enjoy it is going to be extremely hard to finish it and you most likely won’t finish it at all. As a reader I’ve done this time and time again, and that’s perfectly fine even normal. It takes time to find what books you like which is exactly why this is a waste. It’s not like she borrowed these books from a library. She bought them and if she reads them only once then that is a waste of money that could have been used elsewhere. Yes, while every book might teach you something not all of those lessons will be as valuable as you might think. It takes time to curate a library and find what books you like. No matter how much research you do on a book there is still no guarantee that you will like it. I thought that I would love IT by Stephen King, but I couldn’t even get through the entire book. We are not hating on what books she picks, but on the fact she bought so many books without reading really any of them. The only way you will know if you like a book is if you read it, and she probably didn’t read many of these before she bought them.
Using B&N prices this is about 1k worth of books. No judgement and super excited to see folks get back into reading! Don't get too burnt out of super popular booktok books though. Spread out and enjoy what you like... Maybe even older books?
Free little libraries are a great way to check things out if you don't want a library card. Don't feel like you need to consume trendy things for people to engage.
Happy reading!
most of these books are $12 on amazon in Australia, which is about $8USD
@@phoebejane93 Totally fair! (which would bring the total down somewhere toward $520) There wasn't mention of where they were purchased or packaging to go off
a lot of these are very popular books that aren’t carried by libraries or have hundreds of holds on them
This is the first of these videos that I actually vibe with and I feel like I’m on FaceTime with a friend lol I think people are being a bit harsh being mad at you for buying all these books just to read but I’m big on if you can afford it and it makes you happy why not? You also do this for a living so to me it just makes sense
The large size paperbacks are trade size, new release books are usually this size, and then months later they will release a regular paperback series. Usually I'll wait and buy the regular size, or if im desperate to read I'll get it from the library (ebook or regular) and then buy my own copy later
This is an awesome Book Haul! Excited to see you fill your bookshelf!
Fourth Wing and Iron Flame were both five star reads! Loved them! I can’t wait for the other books to come out so I can find out what happens next!
i read tab first, i will never regret that choice. it got me so excited for the rest of the series. it was phenomenal.
omg I'm excited to read this series, I've heard so many good things!!
I AGREEE. it's the best way to start it off, cause something happens in TAB that is mentioned throughout the books. and you'd be confused otherwise. plus its the most emotional order, which is great!!!
inheritance games is a 4 book series (she just came out with her 4th book omg omg omg) and if you’re an aesthetic girly her whole series has the ‘fancy’ covers AND
AHHHHHHH my fav series straight up, keeps you on the edge of your seat and up all night. SO MANY plot twists and the romance is soOOOOO linear and also triangular i can’t even explain
MUST MUST READ
It’s actually a trilogy, the brothers Hawthorne is a spin-off with same characters and different plot
@@nx3930but there’s *another* book (the fourth one) coming out this July!
5th book called the grandest game is coming out soon too!
Grandest Game (july) AND Games Untold (november) are upcoming books!!!!!!!!!
I’m smiling ear to ear
This makes me so happy 🥹🥹
You go girl
Love your collection! How fun to be able to go through all your new reads.
The cat just lying there ❤❤
Eat the rich
this should be the top comment
Ahhh another of my fav entering the book girly era 🫶🏼
Ilyyyy and best era
This isn’t book girl era…. This is just jumping in on the trend even tho it’s ridiculous…
@@Ihavenoname247 Reading isn't a trend dawg 💀 it's just gotten more popular with these communities lmao
I liked your video. I bought a bunch of books last year that have been high on my "want to read" list and while I haven't read them all it's so nice to have unread books on the shelf I can go to when the mood strikes. I am reading Powerless right now and your video got me excited to keep reading.
For the Throne of Glass series, I read the Assassin’s Blade first! It helps to give much context about the main character and the world before jumping right into Throne of Glass. It leads right up to the beginning of TOG.
Seconding!! Please read AB first!
Is it important to read ALL OF ACOTAR before jumping into this series? I really want to start TOG series but don't want to read ACOTAR because of the excessive spice?
I loved this video! I have no idea why these types of videos are so satisfying for me😂
HEEYYYY. just wanted to let you know that the Never after series (Hooked, Twisteed, Scared, etc) technically is not a fantasy series, just so you don't get disappointed when you pick it up. It can be claseed as a fairytale retelling but its more like a fairytale inspired dark romance. but i loved the books, Hooked is my fave so far!!!!!
I believe they're classed as fractured fairytales
yeah, its not fantasy at all lol
LOVE the bookshelves ❤
give shatter me another go!! its truly amazing and it gets a lot better in the 2nd and 3rd book. so many plot twists and an enemies to lovers romance!! I think youll love it!!
can second this!
Happy reading! 📚☮️
Hiii! Amazing video ❤ for TOG I tried reading one of the many ways that wasn’t with assassin blade first and I really regretted it so I would HIGHLY recommend you read first! I have seen many people who feel the same way. I hope this helps you and I hope you adore it as much as we all do 🥰
The series of from Blood and ash is really amazing! I’m obsessed🤩🤩
Before you read once upon a broken heart you should read caraval ! Because it contains spoilers if you ever want to read it
I stand by this! I don’t understand when people say you don’t have to read Caraval first but IMO you should. There’s stuff mentioned in Once Upon a Broken Heart that’ll make a lot more sense if you read Caraval first.
I agree with this 100%!
I thought it was the other way round. Thanks.😊
@@wolfme4030 you’re welcome glad all of us could help you!
Hii, quick question, just caraval or the whole caraval trilogy? hehe
omg i was crying iver by bill of three books, lol
Looks like so much fun!
Read Assassin's Blade third and make sure to tandem read Tower of Dawn and Empire of Storms! You'll enjoy all the books that way!
Also it doesn't matter if you read ACOTAR first or TOG but always make sure you read CC last!
Wow so many books! That is awesome!
Everyone had probably already answered! But I am in the middle of the Tandem read of Empire of Storms and Tower of Down
And I completely suggest looking up the romance order for Throne of Glass if you love the romantic buildup!❤
The shatter me series is so epic and really cool! You have to read it❤
I totally agree with fourth wing it was AMAZING I got the holiday edition with the bonus content because I loved it soooo much I would love to get my hands on the special editions and get them signed also acotar was reallllly good 😅😅😂 I love them got the whole series just because of the first one
I just finished reading Fourth Wing & Iron Flame! I actually really liked the plot and pacing of the books. I hear a lot of people talking about A Court of Thorns & Roses ... should I read that next??
What are your guys opinions between the two series? Do you prefer one over the other?
Omg me too!! I just read the first 3 books of ACOTAR, defs slower place at the beginning, I think they are very different stories and books too so give it a try so you can find out what you like
For lit-fic, contemporary, romance and/or as a subplot:
- Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter (I rarely ever read YA romance so the fact that I gave this 5 stars, I love them so much).
- I Fell In Love With Hope by Lancali (YA)
- Anxious People by Fredrik Backman
- The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by VE Schwab
- Adelaide by Genevieve Wheeler
- Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors
- I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
For fantasy I'd recommend:
- Strange the Dreamer duology by Laini Taylor
- the Elements of Cadence duology, A River Enchanted and A Fire Endless, by Rebecca Ross (she also wrote Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows, the Letters of Enchantment)
- Fear the Flames by Olivia Rose Darling
- Tres of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Samderson
- Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson
- the Iron Widow duology by Xiran Jay Zhao
- the Radiant Emperor duology, She Who Became the Sun and He Who Drowned the World, by Shelley Parker Chan
- She Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh
- the Winternight trilogy by Katherine Arden
I hope you've found one or two interesting! Happy reading! (:
i’m halfway through Powerless, AND IM ADDICTED!!! The writing could be better, but I STILL LOVE IT!!!
Chestnut springs series by Elsie silver & Dreamland billionaires series by Lauren Asher
This is brilliant! I would love to just get all the books I want to read in one big haul, but I can't afford it 😂
Also we LOVE carden❤. You also need How the king of elhame learned to hate stories, The stolen heir, and the prisoners throne. They are part of the Cruel princee series !❤😊😊
I love the From Blood and Ash series!! Sooo good!
Shatter Me is one of the best YA series and it gets better with every book
Throne of Glass is a gem 🥰
I tried reading Throne of glass without reading the 0.5 and I was so confused and not into it😅 I started 0.5 and it was really good, it made me want to read the whole series!❤
Happy reading ❤️
THE CRUEL PRINCE !!!!! OMG you will be obsessed gurlll 😭😭,plus it’s Carden Greenbrier (You are gonna luv him more then anything;)
I recently finished the Harry Potter series and now I'm literally DEPRESSED LOLL bc that was what got me into reading and I'm in need of new books now!! I can't even believe I used to hate reading, now look where I am BAHAHHA 😭😭 This video is actually so helpful to me so tysm for literally making this video!! Now I gotta add some books to my shopping list and beg my parents to buy some HAHAH😍😍
From Blood and Ash is SO GOOD theres a badass female protagonist and the love intrest is sooooo good. It's basically fae/vampire vibes with war basically. And the way she reveals stuff just crazy good. 10/10
as someone whos read throne of glass series, its best to read it third bc it will ruin thing in the first two books and there are things in the third book you might not understand if you read it fourth!!
My friends mom has their entire living room as bookshelves and they’re all full. It’s so pretty and welcoming
When the paper back books are larger its usually because they recently came out (6 months or so). Not sure why they do this but yeah when books are first released they are always big and the new book of the crescent city series just came out 2 or so months ago!!
These are some of the things that I tab when I'm annotating a book: plot, romance, sad moments, funny moments, and worldbuilding/location/history. I usually underline quotes that I really like too.😊And read Throne of Glass before Crescent City!👍
Check the back of each book. SJM puts a short excerpt from the next book in the series, into the current book. star with throne of glass since that's the first book and go from there.
I would recommend reading the Shadow and Bone trilogy before going into Six of Crows, it's in the same universe and I loved it because some of the characters reappear 🥹
OMGG this is such a great idea
I already have SO many books. I am new to the fantasy genre. I bought so many fantasy books in my TBR piles, i bought another book shelf!
Rich influencers with nothing else to splurge on
she’s not rich??? she’s a student
Okay but where did you find your special editions of fourth wing and iron flame? Almost done fourth wing and I’m so in love truly changed my life in someway since I never read a fantasy before
book lovers is one of my favorite book in the world I was honestly not expecting anything but whyyyy was it sooooo good like I'm still not over it and I literally read it this summer 😭anyways, I'd love to have your opinion on it when you read it!! love uu❤
And here I am feeling bad that my physical tbr has grown to more than twenty books. My reading taste tents to fluctuate - what if I no longer like the genre or tropes by the time I finally get around reading them?
Other fantasy series I suggest are the Caraval trilogy, fantasy set in a sort of circus and it also has romance, and the Nevernight trilogy.
Nevernight is an epic fantasy so it has a heavier worldbuilding and it’s more difficult to get into, but it’s really worth it
you have to move ahead with shatter me!! trust me, it gets better and better
lol almost all of your physical tbr books are on my physical tbr haha! we have very similar tastes :)
- book lovers by emily henry is sosososo gooood omfg maybe top tier read of my year so far!
- seven husbands of evelyn hugo made my jaw drop at the plot twist
-six of crows is just an amazingly written fantasy book
- the shatter me series is very popular (aaron warner is everyone's book bf apparently lol)
- you probably don't need anymore books anytime soon but I recommend:
* divine rivals by rebecca ross
* the housemaid series by freida mcfadden (if you want to get into the mystery-thriller genre)
* a good girl's guide to murder series (same reason as above, super popular)
* read the caraval series before the once upon a broken heart series since it takes place in the same universe (ppl online say caraval enhances the once upon a broken heart reading experience)
yes I agree its better to read Caraval first.
I definitely think reading the assassins blade after crown of midnight is the best order for emotional impact
Definitely! That’s what I did
I wish I read AB first
I'll die on the same hill. Won't be as engaging and suspenseful if tab was first
I read it first and felt like it flowed
Good that you are able to buy what you want why not it’s a beautiful hobby I love it I buy books 📕 whenever I can
For the Throne of Glass series, I'd recommend reading it as Throne of Glass followed by Crown of Midnight and then read Assassin's Blade also I highly recommend you do the tandem read for the Tower of Dawn and Kingdom of Ash or you might not like the final two books as they are meant to be read together. Also, I'd recommend Throne of Glass be read before A Court of Thorns and Roses series and then the Cresent City series. I hope I was able to help.
There is also a novella to The Serpent and the Wings of Ruin. I believe it’s meant to be read between the first and second.
The whole point of a library shelf is to add books to ut overtime, that way it’s more genuine. This act just lacks intentionality and genuine interests for book behind it.
Umberto Eco disagrees 😊
Love this for you! The Cruel Prince series is my fave! Some recs: Spark of the Everflame series by Penn Cole, Psy-Changeling series by Nalini Singh, The Bridge Kingdom Series by Danielle L Jensen, The Winter King by CL Wilson, The Wall of Winnipeg and me by Mariana Zapata, The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren. HAPPY READING!
Also, if you're a fan of fairytale retellings with several different tropes, then a slightly less well-known but perfect series is called A Kinda Fairytale series by Cassandra Gannon! It's really perfect, especially book 3, The Kingpin of Camelot, loved it! Also, get Love Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood! It's one of her best!
The Made series is really good but you should get the Book 2 as well, it's the best book in the series, and it's the precursor to Book 3, so it will give you some additional background.
What an incredible haul ☺☺
love this!!! I'm also in my SJM era.... Silver Flames is my fav read of the year so far! and currently in the TOG girlie era and half way through queen of shadow...obsessed is the only word to describe. 🤩 I also really enjoyed the poppy war series and if you would like to get into Colleen Hoover, I recommend Reminders of Him... it's not so heavy with all the triggers that Colleen tends to do ehehe my fav CoHo for sure.
9:30 ; yes girl, we LOVE Cardan!!
For Sarah J. Maas series the order I have read them is: Throne of Glass, ACOTAR and Crescent City; it’s important to read CC last because of world build up; but my recommendation would be to read Throne of Glass first bc it’s finished series (for now apparently) and because it will be more clear about some things in other series 😊 and for TOG order read the first two books and then the Assassins blade novela 😊
you should read the assassins blade first. I tried reading throne of glass first but I was so confused on who the main character is and I was confused by her personality. but then I tried reading the assassins blade first and it flowed SOOOO NICELY into the throne of glass book. reading the assassins blade first is the chronological order of the plot line and everything will flow better that way. reading it otherwise would count as a "flashback", since youre going to a time before what happened in throne of glass book.
Briddy you have to read the Addicted/Calloway sisters series its my all time favorite series!!!💕
I read the Assassin's Blade first and loved it!! Sarah J Maas recommends that you read it 3rd however!
THE LONG AWAITED!!!❤
EEK I'm so excited for you yay!!
Personally, I read the Assassin's Blade 3rd after Crown of Midnight, I think it worked well then or possibly 2nd but it's better to read Throne of Glass first to actually have more interest in the story and its more fun storyline that way I think. I have yet to read the Crecent City series but as far as I am aware you are to read Throne of glass before Crecent City.
Some book recs I have girly:
Better than the movies - Lynn Painter
Betting on you - Lynn Painter
One of us is lying - Karen M Mcmanus
Daisy Jones and the six - Taylor Jenkin's Reid (pretty much anything from Taylor Jenkin's Reid tbh I love her)
Six of Crows and One Dark Window are fantastic!! So many good books for you to read…
For thrillers I would highly recommend checking out the authors Riley Sager and Lisa Jewell, and if you ever want to get into horror check out Grady Hendrix and Paul Tremblay!
I recommend Turtles all the way down it's kind of a murder mystery and a romance. I read it this year and it's pretty good they're also making a movie off of it so I'm excited! ❤😊
I am so glad you bought all these books! It makes me so sad to see book stores close! Keep reading girly pop!! 🤗
I read The Assassin’s Blade after Heir of Fire, and let me tell you that it was a phenomenal experience! It made me feel more attached to the characters and in better understanding Celaena more.
currently reading it 4th! i saw many people say you should read it third and got so sad 😭 your comment makes me so happy tho!
I agree! I originally read it first and I regretted it. I left the series for 6 months and came back to it this year. Although I had knowledge of the book, I really appreciated reading it after HOF. It felt like I was reading the last 2 stories for the first time!
@@ananyagoel9865To get more of a hit, it's recommended you read it 4th and I can wholly recommend it!
Aw I want the special editions Forth wing for my birthday now but can’t find anywhere and my bday Sunday lol
if you plan on reading the once upon a broken heart trilogy, i would highly recommend reading the caraval series first, because it is set before the events of ouabh and features one of the main characters! it just gives a bit on context and is also a really good read
Loved the Stephen King books!❤
Once upon a broken heart is the 2nd series in that world. I recommend reading the caraval trilogy before starting that one! (though they can 100% be read seperately)
I’m so upset I never managed to get the special edition of Iron Flame, it looks so pretty!😢
omg you should totally get "love, theoretically" as well by ali hazelwood it's sooo cute.
AGREED
Briddy’s reading obsession sparked from Fourth Wing is just SO RELATABLE! I bought ACOSTAR and other roman/fantasy too after FW. Tho I’ve always tried to read Self Help 😅
LITERLLY omg, we literally went through the same thing, bought Sarah J Mass immediately after and then everything else....
Loved your video!! appreciated how you organized by genre and just your comments/summaries about these books. I've added magnolia park to my TBR series :) thank you!!
Heyy I just wanted to let you know that for the throne of glass series, I would suggest reading the assassins blade first, because it give a lot of backstory for the rest of the series. Enjoy reading :))
I have such a problem with the once upon a broken heart series. I loved the first 2 books but I have the first 2 books in that small paperback size but they don't sell the same size for a curse of true love and I deny to buy the bigger size. I have been thinking for a long while tho to get the hardback editions in the dark cover since I like how they look, but unless they suddenly sell the small version of the third book, I will not know how to story progresses after book 2. Until I get these hardbacks.
the caraval series is also really good! ouabh is in the same world as caraval i think, so if you like ouabh maybe you'll like it too!
SJM says that she would like people to read the Throne of Glass series in the ‘romantic’ order which is; Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, Heir of Fire, The Assassin’s Blade, Queen of Shadows, Empire of Storms (Tandem), Tower of Dawn (Tandem) & Kingdom of Ash. There are guides on the interwebs as to how to do the tandem read. A lot of people do like to read the ‘Chronological’ order by reading Assassins Blade first and some people like to read Assassins Blade last. Only you can really make the decision because people will never agree on the ‘best’ order.
