August Book Haul

[@rebekahwhitford]

Could you do a video about how to get into the Star Wars fandom? Particularly, where to go with the books and such after you've watched the movies? I've only ever seen the first Star Wars movie, for a Science Fiction class at my university a couple of years ago, and I haven't gone any farther than that with it because I'm so overwhelmed about where to go next, lol. I get confused about which order to watch the movies in, let alone what order to read all the books in! But I loved the first movie, and I would really like to get involved in the fandom of it. Anyway, I totally adore your videos! They always brighten my day! :) Happy reading!

[@MermaidKelsey]

Rebekah Whitford yes yes, I would also appreciate this video!

[@meggsngrits]

Seconding this!

[@MerrilyKristin]

Yes! I'm planning on filming one very soon (possibly this weekend!). I love that other people are so enthusiastic about getting into the Star Wars Extended Universe too!

[@nadnadnadnad7133]

Oh yes please i also need help on this!!

[@tomboyz151]

I haven't heard anyone talking about Spellslinger! I really like the playing card design from the other covers! 😍 Also, a new Fruits Basket book?!?! I need it!!!

[@MerrilyKristin]

The cards are really cool too but I like the new covers better for some reason! I can't wait to read the series!

[@jaedyn225]

that candle behind you that says "DICK" is just everything

[@MerrilyKristin]

Hahah. He's the best Robin!

[@merelmountain]

I love your book hauls!! My wallet doesn’t as much.. haha

[@MerrilyKristin]

Hahaha thanks!

[@withcindy]

these look like so many great fantasy books!!

[@MerrilyKristin]

I can't wait to read them all!

[@mandischneck6158]

The Fever Series is INCREDIBLE! It gets better and better with each book!

[@MerrilyKristin]

I can't wait to read it!

[@HollyHeartsBooks]

I’m so jealous of your finished copy of Foundryside! And I’m soo interested in Spellslinger. I see multiple buddy reads in the future 😂

[@MerrilyKristin]

Ah yes! That would be great! I'm so enjoying our Wind buddy read!

[@bookishb]

I would love to see a video of your top ten fave candles! also an updated book tour!!!

[@MerrilyKristin]

Ooh that would be a fun video!

[@anaa9007]

You could make a video showing us your B&N leatherbound collection including the endpapers :)))))))))

[@MerrilyKristin]

I'll add it to my list!

The Doctor Who Christmas book is SO PRETTY 😱😱

[@MeghanReads]

I definetly want to check out foundryside. . . .and omigod how have i never noticed you have a magus bride funko!

[@alexalovesbooks]

I really enjoyed the box set we both just got for Harry Potter! The covers are so great 😍 And I actually quite enjoyed the second Fairyland book a ton! I haven’t played Ni No Kuni either, but I’m planning to!

[@JesReadsBooks]

Your little pumpkin earrings are to die for. Oh wow, Foundryside sounds very interesting. Toil and Trouble is really high on my TBR! I can't wait to see what you think about Kings of the Wyld! I really need to read Bloody Rose ASAP, because I miss the gang so much. Seeing you haul all of the Doctor Who stuff makes me want to rewatch it so badly. Which would make it my third? Fourth? rewatch. My heart is never ready. Okay longest comment ever, but I vote Kings of the Wild next!

[@MerrilyKristin]

Thanks Jes! I'm so excited for Kings of the Wyld- I think I may pick it up right after Name of the Wind! And omg Doctor Who

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

The cruel design cover is so gorgeous

[@MerrilyKristin]

Guh I know!

[@cr6zym0nkeyiz]

Yeah for Kate Daniels and the Fever Series! I think those are must reads for the urban fantasy genre! And they are definitely two of my all time favorite series!

[@MerrilyKristin]

Can't wait to read either of them!

[@palmkdbooks]

Great Haul! I hadn’t realized there was another Claudia Gray Star Wars book, hopefully I can get that from our library. Finally got the new Thrawn book so I hope to dive into that soon! Also Ni no Kuni II was a good game! I am very tempted to pick up that art book as well! So pretty!!

[@MerrilyKristin]

Yes! And she another new one coming out in 2019! I still have to read the new Thrawn book but I cannot wait

[@palmkdbooks]

That's exciting that there is going to be another one!! Happy Friday! =D

[@antonellac7189]

Your bookshelves are gorgeous, please do a video of them 😊🙏🏻

[@MerrilyKristin]

I will soon! I think I'm finally getting them to a place where I'm happy with them.

[@leah492]

Spellslinger is so good! I'm reading the 2nd one and it's even better. There are a lot of funny moments and banter between characters! Hope you like it 😁

[@MerrilyKristin]

Thanks!

[@Fellinara]

Dark Disciple is one of my FAVORITE Star Wars books! Make sure you have more than one box of tissues nearby when you read it. I seriously all out ugly cried through a good bit of the 2nd part of that one.

[@MerrilyKristin]

Haha thank you for the warning!

[@JRACE732]

The Fever series and the Kate Daniels series are my two faves of all time. Can't wait to see what you think.

[@MerrilyKristin]

Yay! I can't wait to read them!

[@MaryAmongStories]

Batman Nightwalker was so good. The characters, they were all complex and amazing especially Madeleine. I loved it so much.

[@MerrilyKristin]

Totally agree! I really loved that book!

[@MermaidKelsey]

I’m so excited that you’re finally reading the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning!!!! I love that series, you won’t be disappointed.

[@MerrilyKristin]

I can't wait to read it!

[@anaa9007]

Those Barnes & Noble Star Wars books are amazing!!!!!!!!! I hadn't seen the Leia cover before. I have the R2D2 edition :) Did you see the new Phantom of the Opera edition? I hope to get that one for my birthday as soon as Amazon Spain stocks it. Love your shirt and earrings!

[@MerrilyKristin]

The Leia cover is new! I love it so much! And I preordered Phantom! I'm so excited for it to arrive!

[@giselaperez6746]

Great book haul! Where should I start with Star Wars? Where I can find the order of the books?

[@MerrilyKristin]

I'm going to make a video about it soon!

[@jacquelinekeeler155]

Great book haul! I also bought the new set of Harry Potter. Good luck keeping September smaller! It seems as if most of the best books are fall releases.

[@MerrilyKristin]

Ah totally! Fall is always best book season!

[@seouldaydreaming3520]

The ilona andrews series (Kate Daniels) is my favourite of all time!!!

[@MerrilyKristin]

Yay!

[@mybookishlyfe6872]

I need every single one of those Star Wars books 😍 although I have read bloodlines and i loved it! PS I love your shirt and earrings

[@MerrilyKristin]

Ahh I'm so glad to hear that! I can't wait to read it! And thank you!

[@BresBooks83854]

I would love some more anime/manga separate hauls! :D

[@MerrilyKristin]

I have one filmed that's going up next week!

[@crazybooklady2104]

I have catwoman too I have yet to read wonderwoman but loved batman The empress and the diabolic are great. Can you do a video on the star wars books? Like where to get started in reading the series and everything

[@MerrilyKristin]

Yes, I'm planning on it!

[@chouquetteetdeslivres5045]

Ooooh i actually have darkfever on my tbr ! If you ever picked it up would you be interested to read it with me ? I think it would be cool to compare the english and french version

[@nicholemohler2918]

Kate Daniels is great. You should also try the October Daye series by Seanan McGuire. I love it!

[@MerrilyKristin]

I do have October Daye on my wish list!

[@meggsngrits]

Where is your shirt from? I love foxes!

[@MerrilyKristin]

ModCloth!

[@meggsngrits]

Thank you!

[@denaiir4775]

Yes! The Fever series ! It's one of my favorite series of all times, hope you like it

[@MerrilyKristin]

Thank you!

[@jaedyn225]

i still havent read any v.e. schwab and shes got so many books out now!!!

[@MerrilyKristin]

Ahhh she's so great! I hope you love her writing when you get around to reading one of her novels!

[@Dais-ies]

Wow so lucky that you got the reckoning of Noah Shaw !!!

[@MerrilyKristin]

Yes!

[@Imaginetheday1967]

Great book haul! I ordered a candle from Canterbury Road. :) Are your candles the 8 oz size?

[@MerrilyKristin]

Nice! Which candle did you order? And yes! I have 8oz's!

[@aoife1849]

Wow super keen about the new fruits basket story! That manga was my childhood

[@MerrilyKristin]

OMG you have no idea how long I've been counting down until The Dragon Prince is on Netflix. I'm SO excited to binge that series and I love all of the trailers they've released so far! And thanks for the Kate Daniels advice!

[@MeghanReads]

Dark disciple made me cry

[@LadyMcCrystal]

Another video to watch while o get ready! Yay! I believe the Doctor Who fairytale books have a BN classic edition. I think that's what I have. Lol

[@MerrilyKristin]

Oh fun! What does the cover look like? I haven't seen that one!

[@LadyMcCrystal]

@@MerrilyKristin I'll send it to you on IG

[@danielleoliver1734]

Yes I love the Kate Daniels series! I don’t think spellslinger is adult, I’ve only read the first one though (greatcoats is his adult one and it’s awesome).

[@MerrilyKristin]

Oh thank you! For some reason I thought it was- maybe because his other books are adult!

[@bookgal4539]

you should do​ a bookish outfits video

[@MerrilyKristin]

I did do one in the past for Furthermore!

[@sproutygamerreads7947]

I loved cutie honey back in the day!

[@MerrilyKristin]

It looks so good!

[@lorieladison8934]

I really enjoyed the Fever Series.

[@MerrilyKristin]

I'm excited to read it!

[@bewitchinglyparanoid]

Design of The Cruel, gooorgeous!

[@MerrilyKristin]

Agreed!

[@WildeBookGarden]

I really enjoyed The Diabolic! Ooh I bought The Girl Who Circumnavigated...book recently too. I picked it up a year or so ago and for some reason couldn't get into it (I think I just wasn't in the mood for it), but I've been loving Catherynne M. Valente's work recently so I'm excited to pick it up again! That Lolita fashion book sounds super creepy. I assume it's about the fetishizing of young girls/fashion that happened as a result of the novel Lolita?? Great haul, Kristin! Lots of fall-feeling books! Yeah, I also thought it was super weird how much they pushed the Phasma character in the new movies. I was like "Did I miss an entire movie or something? What did she do?"

[@MerrilyKristin]

Oh no, the Lolita book shouldn't be creepy at all. Lolita is a beautiful fashion that's very popular in Japan and they get really upset when people associate them with the Vladimir Nabakov novel!

[@WildeBookGarden]

Oh I see! Thank you so much for explaining that:)

[@nadnadnadnad7133]

Since you like the Batverse, do you watch Gotham? I absolutely adore the Batcat relationship on that show (but I don't really like much else of the show unfortunately)!

[@MerrilyKristin]

I watched the first two seasons of Gotham but I stopped after that :-/ I was semi-enjoying it but same- I was in it for Bat-Cat

[@nadnadnadnad7133]

@@MerrilyKristin haha me too, im only in it for Batcat now. Season 4b is their best season yet but slogging through the rest of the show is a bit of a pain lol ._.

[@bearhugclarissa]

Omg yes!

[@hayleycat4899]

Have you ever watched supernatural? It's my absolute favorite show

[@MerrilyKristin]

I watched up until season 5!

[@isaacholdsworth7504]

First one here !

[@MerrilyKristin]

Ah thanks!
