Is there a book I need to read before Catwoman? You talked about Catwoman background but I’m not familiar with that. I’ve only seen the movies where Catwoman is a character. I love Sarah J. Maas! Should I read these books in order?

The Wedding People is not getting enough hype! I seriously laughed out loud multiple times during this book!!

The Great Alone is so so good. I think about it all the time!

Sounds like a great morh. I hope your in person book club is successful.

I’ve seen the Rosie Project books on your shelves for years and always assumed you’d read and liked them enough to keep. Whew, I reeeally disliked them too and never got the hype - faith restored! lol Have a great weekend!

One that I really want to read is to shape a dragon’s breath.

There always has to be at least one victim of bookopoly every year, I’m sorry that this time it was you 💀 good luck with your TBR 😂

Just finished looking for smoke- so good!

Tommy Orange. Also, Never Whistle at Night by indigenous writers. It’s an indigenous dark fiction anthology

I agree with Tommy Orange that has already been mentioned here in the comments. I also recommend The Seed Keeper by Diane Wilson. I also want to mention Louise Erdrich and Marcie Rendon.

Sounds like great books! Many blessings.

Hi Sarah Did you make those letters that spell out “read” on your shelf?

Crazy game❤ but I think you had fun picking reads!!

I was able to attend a library event to hear the author of The Firekeepers Daughter. So interesting. ❤. She also recommended Tommy Orange books as authentic culture reads.

Highly recommend getting to Warrior Girl Unearthed when you can. It takes place ten years after firekeepers daughter and I think it was even better. Infuriating for sure but so worth the read. I just got book 2 (after Shutter)by Ramona Emerson and I can't wait. Same forensic photographer from Shutter, this time dealing with the ghosts of a serial killer.

Great recommendations. I would also suggest anything by Louise Erdrich.

I loved Firekeeper's Daughter too! I think you might like The Sentence by Louise Erdrich.

VenCo by Cherie Dimaline is super fun! It’s pitched as an indigenous witchy golden girls road trip 😅 There is an audiobook, but I wish I’d read it physically. If you enjoyed Nickel Boys, I’d suggest Five Little Indians by Michelle Good. It follows five indigenous Canadians who were taken from their homes to Indian Residential Schools. Some of the storylines are very dark, so check trigger warnings!

I've read Shutter and really enjoyed it.

I highly recommend There There and Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange. He's an indigenous author writing about indigenous characters.

I have Fire Keepers Daughter on my TBR.

I am also reading somewhere beyond the sea this month!!

Did you hear me scream “No Way!” all the way from Alabama? 😂😂 you’ll make it through most of that pile ‘cause you likely have one or two DNFs

Your bonfire book has a beautiful cover. I lost track of all your doubles. Was it five? Great if you were playing yahtzee .fun game.

All those doubles!!! 😂

YES FOR L&L!! I haven't read it yet, but I'm excited for it!!

I listened to the audiobook of Watership Down and loved it.

Yay!!! I love Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches!!!! ❤

Looks like a good TBR stack for the game. When you said you were doing once around the board, I thought the board and dice would decide otherwise. You definitely jinxed yourself.

Emily Wilde is a very different cozy fantasy than the ones you mentioned. First of all it's journal entries (which is sth you either love or hate) and it has more of a folklore feeling than high fantasy. So if you liked the folklore influence in The Bear and the Nightingale f.ex. you will enjoy this one. Also: The very secret society... is also cozy. Just in case you expect a darker theme. This is def focussing more on the found family trope and cozy magic/romance. But i loved it! Hope you do too

"I understand why Becca doesn't play this game anymore" Haha The Board really wanted you to go all out 😂

I feel your pain, I got 4 doubles during my game 😂

Great POP! And the double rolls were cool! Happy reading! Try the audio book for Watership Down, it might help.

Sarah, I am so sorry, but I was laughing so hard. I loved The Eyes Are the Best Part. I may play this game in October but I am going to play Horror Bingo which goes for an entire year. It was created by WickedReading. You read horror/thriller books.

Funny! Looks like you have an awesome Pile of Possibilities to choose from.

I read Watership Down several years ago and really loved it. Many blessings.

I loved Bath Haus also, so I’m really anxious to get your thoughts on his first book. I read both of the witchy books and loved them both. Very secret society is such a cute story. Also can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the Grady Hendrix book. Ohhhh, and graveyard shift too! Love ML Rio! Emily Wilde I did enjoy, I hope you will also. The library book is very good. Those doubles though!!!😂 this sounds like a great tbr.

❤📚😂❤️ Those doubles ...demon dice! Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries is my kind of cozy. I hope you enjoy all your reads!

I would recommend reading Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries in tandem with the audiobook, it’s done really well.

When I saw the length of this video I figured you must have rolled a lot of doubles! LOL! I have put down Watership Down a few times as well. Maybe it’s an October/November TBR??? Good luck with it!

Icebreaker was ok, not fantastic. However works well as a palate cleanser. I don’t think I’ve read any of the others. Fun video. TFS.

I really enjoyed The Library Book. 💕📚

The Library Book is such a good book.

Good luck and did you get my message

Haha. That was great. You should go to Vegas and play that game where you call what you roll!! (I've never been I'm just going on what I've seen or read so I could be so wrong hahah) you rock. Thanks for the videos!!

I just thrifted 218 books and spent 30 for my kids teens and adult book giveway at work. I do it because kids are on phones and iPad to much. I given away 1700 books in 8 months

But Sarah, it IS fine, because you absolutely know in your heart these books are in your wheelhouse, you know they’re keepers because of the author or the fact that they are presented so beautifully, they are not just things you bought on a whim without knowing anything about or in a genre you don’t normally love, etc. You are being strategic about what comes in. If you’d gone thrifting and bought in a large amount of books “just because” that might be different, but even then…the low prices sometimes justify the risk that they might be books you won’t love. Personally, the more I unhaul, the pickier I am about what is coming in. Favourite authors only, and the rest is from the library or on my kindle.

Thank you so much for bringing up Tertulia. I used your last code to join them....and am well over the $250 mark. ;-)

I received my first Tertulia porter recently. They are great! Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Beautiful books! Blessings.
