The US edition of Silver in the Bone is so pretty! The UK edition is veryyy ugly

I'm working on reading House of Glass by Sarah Pekkasen & loving it

First two books are Heir of Fire by SJM (physical) and Loud by Drew Afualo (audio)

I tell myself not to buy books, and then I buy more books haha I have a physical TBR that's sitting around the 200 mark and I am working this year to get it down. I don't really read ebooks but I gained a lot of physical books in 2024 and I need to work through them.

Some of the TBR options are giving me major flashbacks to being in the 6th grade in 2015 when books like Milk and Honey, Three Dark Crowns, and The Thousandth Floor were all the rage on booktube. I was not expecting this video to be so wonderfully nostalgic for me.

You should try the Mina Lima editions because they have Classics that are full of mixed media inside!

I need that shirt!

I started off with an AO3 fanfic. The manacled

The first book I am reading is Hunting moon by Susan Dennard. It’s the second book in a fantasy/dystopian trilogy. I think you’d really like this series.

excited to see what you think of pride and prejudice!

I already finished a book, Lore by Alexandra Bracken, but I started reading that last year in December (I’m a slow reader.) My actual first book that I started this year is White Smoke by Tiffany D. Jackson.

Has anyone ever told you you look a lot like Julia Fox? I thought you were her for a second 😂❤

Jensee: I don't want to start a new series because I am in the middle of many other ones. Also Jensee: *Picks three books that are book one in different series. I can't believe we are already in 2025. I did so well last year with my physical TBR. It's down to 20ish now!! So I am thinking of buying more books now and maybe starting TOG this year because I have been putting it off since last year. Happy reading Jensee 💗💗 PS: I started with Blood Ninja as my first book this year. I saw the book in my local library and thought "Ooh the cover is so cool I have to read" not knowing anything about the book and where it takes place. After buying the book I realized that it takes place in Japan during the 1500s and has vampires (I am not a huge fan of vampires) but it is actually good and one of my best impulse buys. I started yesterday and I am halfway through already.

whoa! that is one massive tbr for january! 😳 hope you’ll love them all!! i’m currently reading a time of blood by john gwynne, which i started reading in december. it’s book 2 of a trilogy and i will probably read book 3 directly after and then i’m hoping to be reading either beautiful ugly by alice feeney or famous last words by gillian macallister - i believe both release in january but i keep forgetting which one releases first. i think i read the first book in the throne of glass series in 2023, went on with the short story/novella book and believe i’ve only read two of the short stories so far. every now and then i’m thinking i should go back and continue.. some day 😜 plated prisoner, binding 13, zodiac academy, magnolia parks are also all series i’d like to check out. so long, though. 😮‍💨 makes starting them a bit daunting. may the new year bring you all the happiness and the delicious living! 💖

Happy New Year 2025 🥳

Empire of Storm is my all time favorite Sarah J Maas book, so that would be a great pick!

This was such a fun video and getting to look back on books you read in 2024! 🥰

Absolutely LOVED the Plated Prisoner series!! Such an underrated series!

Ohhh nice. Lots of options for mood reading, but still reading your tbr. My first book I'm reading this year is called The Deepest Blue by Sarah Beth Durst. So far, I'm really enjoying it. I've got a lot I'm really excited to get to this month. 😊

Wow, what a stack to start the year with 😂😂. Best wishes for 2025 🎉🎉

Tha tandem read is going to be such an experience Jensee 😍 can't wait to hear your thoughts! The 1st book I finished for 2025 was once upon a broken heart and I didn't like it at all 🥲 happy 2025 filled with good reads 💌✨️

The first book I read was actually a Chanukah book and it was called The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer and it was such a cute romance! Now I'm reading Rock, Paper, Scissors by Alice Feeney and I'm also having a great time with it as well. I want to get to gild, and the Infernal Devices series too! And you're gonna have a great time with the tandem EoS, ToD reads. Happy reading!

happy new years! for january, i plan on starting with a short thriller, "in my dreams i hold a knife" by ashley winstead

The Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices books are on my TBR this year! I have put off FOREVER reading this series and have had most of them on my shelf for a while now, so I’m super excited to read them too 😊

Not me screaming at the phone telling you to choose binding 13 😂😂😂

That is an ambitious TBR! You can do it!😆 Cant wait to see what you think of them. I started 2025 off with The Cat Who Saved Books. It was like a Persona game mixed with Chronicles of Narnia? Kind of? lol it was fun. Now Im reading Two Twisted Crowns and its soo good. That edition of The Phoenix Keeper is so prettyyy🐦‍🔥❤

Great video 🥰

You had me laughing throughout this :) I’m actually did the same with my KU choices. Popped them on a wheel to make sureI read the darn books LOL

The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez is my current read. I want to read her back list and wanted to start 2025 off with an easy romance. Your TBR is stacked with so many good reads!

I want to read binding 13 so bad 😭

So glad you’re gonna be reading Empire of Storms. It’s my favorite in the TOG series. I hope you love it! I’m kicking off 2025 with Glow of the Everflame and really enjoying it so far.

I loved the phoenix keeper. ❤

Happy New Year!! I'm starting with Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross. My hopefuls for next month are A Sorceress Comes To Call by T. Kingfisher, Foxglove by Adalyn Grace, Daisy Haites, One Dark Window, An Ember In The Ashes, The Luminaries, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, The Ashes and the Star Cursed King and Dreams Lie Beneath.

Happy new year! I’m so excited to start the Throne of Glass series this year I hear SO many people talking about it and I want to join in!💙

I gave into the hype and ordered all 5 books of the Magnolia Parks series.. the stunning original UK covers 😻 just got book #2 and should have the rest by middle of this month. I think I heard the 6th and final book is out in February? 🤞

11:07 😆😆

Im reading a Casandra Clare book right now and im obsessed....Lady of MIdnight, and i cant wait to read more. Ive been waking up early, and when i do i usually read for a half hr

for the book with glossy pages, you can annotate on clear post-it notes. I got mine from Stationery Pal. You'll want to use a ball point pen or fine point permanent marker.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Do you think that I could read The Scarlet Veil even if I didn't read the Serpent & Dove series? I bought it without realizing and my tbr is already is so long 😅 But if it's necessary I will do what I must 🫡
