Book Haul!

[@trinity1022]

I loved 🥰 Gabriel’s inferno! It’s sooooooooo good!

[@ayaladilene]

For a historical romance that isn’t just about the romance, read What the Wind Knows by Amy Harmon! Set during the Irish Revolution, with time travel. It’s a beautiful story!!

[@MoonlightBookReader]

"Good Morning, Midnight" is an amazing and beautiful book once you get to the end!! And the movie (The Midnight Sky), featuring George Clooney and Felicity Jones, is also beautifully done and very close to the book. I definitely recommend both.

[@Missalyn]

You’re going to love darkfever!

[@lyranightshade1451]

Short cake cake is good I think you'll like it

[@Celticjenn]

Your shirt is adorable!

[@jayveereads560]

I loved Good Morning, Midnight! I read it years ago. Had no idea it was a netflix show. I will say it is pretty slow paced and character driven. Not a whole lot of plot but great winter/cold vibes

[@catsandbats77]

I read the Fever series several years ago. I think I'm two or three books behind at this point. I probably need to start again and just binge them at some point. I read Snow Falling on Cedars back when it first came out and I honestly don't remember a lot about it. The Lady's Formula for Love sounds so cute! I'm also intrigued by those two books you were sent. FYI: love your shirt.

[@MariChuyBeltran]

Reading the Highlander Series by Karen Marie Moning before the Fever Series may be helpful as there is cross section and people in the Highlander series show up in the Fever series.

[@flbelle99]

I can't wait to hear what you think about The Fever series! KMM is one of my favorite authors and The Fever series is such an amazing journey! I can't wait for the next book.

[@louissawells3782]

I just finished The Winter People. Enjoyed it, pretty spooky

[@StrawberryBookReader]

Um, that Good Morning Midnight sounds GOOD. Added to my list. And I had the movie on my Netflix list. 🤷‍♀️ haven’t watched it yet, and now I’m glad to know to read the book first.

[@annbechtel7113]

Yep I need more bookmarks like I need more books 😂😂😂🤣 yep I bought 2 thanks for sharing

[@biblioshark]

2nd and Charles is like my fave place in the world! I spend way too much time and money in there...

[@aoifestafford3218]

Hey Chelsea, I sent you The last Lady by Paul Radojewski! It was written by my partner! He is very shy but he has written a few books now and I hope you really love it! It's dark adult fantasy with all sorts of people in it! I hope you enjoy and look forward to hearing your thoughts! Thank you soo much for mentioning it! 😊❤️

[@tara20394ox]

I ordered 1&2 for the kindle...It sounds awesome. And I love magpies ( but they don't have to play a role 😉)

[@catsandbats77]

It sounds amazing!

[@aoifestafford3218]

@@tara20394ox oh my god thank you so much!!! I would love to hear your thoughts when you read them! He hasn't finished the series yet so there is more to come and I think a boost of some more reviews and knowing people like it would spur him on 😊 Thank you so much! You have no idea how much this will mean to him! 😍❤️

[@aoifestafford3218]

@@catsandbats77 Thank you!!! I think it is amazing! I hope you like it! 😊

[@trinity1022]

Is this book on audiobook?

[@lisa.hennessey19]

OMG, literally left Target 20 min ago and ALMOST BOUGHT "Good Morning, Midnight" too!!!!!! Damn it, now I gotta go back and buy it!

[@marinwolff7031]

Read Radium Girls in one of my book clubs. Powerful read. Not happy but important. Can't wait to hear what you think about it. I know you have a million and one books to read but The Heaviness of Things That Float by Jennifer Manuel is AMAZING. Both of my books clubs (yup, I'm a nerd) LOVED the book. Again, not an easy read, but so beautifully written about a Native American community. It is fiction but it is well researched and is haunting.

[@vanessatorre3200]

Fever series is great book 11 is coming out end of feb

[@wendymaresca8403]

The Fever series is absolutely the best. Barons OMG best book boyfriend ever.

[@aimeegravitt4410]

I love Barons!! This is my favourite series!

[@aizamanandhar4000]

Gabriel's Inferno is adapted in Passionflix, if you're interested..😊 Have u heard about Outlander?

[@calminthechaos-homeschooli159]

Radium Girls=Fabulous!!!

[@shandellkutcher9556]

It takes a lot for me to get creeped out but the winter people is sooooo creepy

[@twyla3860]

You should try reading Laurell K. Hamilton Anita Blake series. Hamilton lives in St. Louis Mo. and Anita Blake series is in St. Louis as well.

[@Eva_B]

Fever series by KMM is amazing and the conclusion comes out this month

[@melanieclynick7906]

Hi from the UK. I love your videos

[@peggyoneil2123]

Hi! I started watching your channel last month after watching a few unboxings and realizing we have very similar tastes in books. First, thank you so much for doing this! Second I have a recommendation for a manga if you ever see it. It’s Mars by Fuyumi Soryo. It follows high schoolers with a main pairing between Rei and Kira but deals with some heavy stuff (suicide, rape, etc) in the later books. The artwork is beautiful and it’s still in of my favorites.

[@Catxoxo15]

I wish I could find The Last Lady. It sounds so good!

[@whitneydupuis5542]

The Midnight Sky is a weird (great) sci fi film. Definitely check it out.

[@AvalonLeeAuthor]

The Gabriel's series are great!! I've read the three of them multiple times. There's a "movie" of the first book on here somewhere. All I'll say is the books are way better.

[@marissaliskey6629]

Nice haul 🙂

[@hopesparadise3198]

Such a great book haul! Have you watched Netflix radium girls? It really good! I will have to get the book soon. I would love to see your manga collection! Maybe video or pictures? I been hearing great things about shortcake cake. I currently reading rose of Versailles. It a historical romance manga based on Marie Antoinette and a guard in her court.

[@tessacorle6736]

Gabriel’s inferno is my favorite series ever!!! Love it sooo much!!!

[@kimberlynewsom9876]

Nice haul! I put The Winter People, and The Magic Fix on my wish list! I love those bookmarks too!! Thank you for sharing.

[@kabreems07]

The dark fever series is soooooooo good!!

[@passmethatbook]

Lovely haul!!! I like your little plant on your bookshelf, it's cute! =) I look forward to your next haul!

[@nicolewarner8950]

I am so excited that Radium Girls got picked too! It was sooo close when I voted!

[@sparky7776]

Oh yay Shortcake Cake . I love that manga . You reminded me that I need to get more volumes of it !

[@brice1937]

Nice haul! Looking forward to A Lady's Formula for Love and I think I need to pick up Radium Girls now.... side note have you read the Saga series? They're graphic novels but I think you would enjoy them!

[@fileanavailable]

Oooo definitely review darkfever! Can’t wait to read that one. OHMYGOD. I loved Gabriel’s Inferno!!! I wasn’t sure how I felt at the beginning of the first book but damn it was amazing afterward.

[@bookishsix]

With Radium Girls, I’d also suggest listening to American Shadows podcast episode 1 Glow. It’s about the invention of radium, how it was used, and the how women were affected by it.

[@LJG7654]

I read Snow Falling on Cedars, but over 20 years ago in college. I don't remember much about it, but I know I didn't hate it. I also read at the same time, Things Fall Apart by Achebe, which I remember enjoying as well. Historical romance author...well, she doesn't do a lot of it, but has at least one series, is Katie Macalister. Trouble with Harry is the first, if I remember correctly. Love her writing, though I think you'd love A Hard Day's Knight or any of her Dark Ones series!

[@jenniferthreefrog]

Your channel is one of my top favorites. I have been struggling today finishing videos, losing my interest. Yours.. Im here all day every day. LOL. 🤣❤ Same with the Diamond Paintings, any vlogs, etc.

[@ReadBecca]

Snow Falling on Cedars was required reading at my college, it's definitely well worth the read, the setting of the pacific northwest is almost a character on it's own because it is so well described. I think that doesn't work for everyone because it spends a lot of time on quiet place setting. The movie is pretty good as well.

[@sarahfignutmum8235]

Because of this video I got the Radium Girls and had to start it.! I am really enjoying it so far. But am breaking it up with a lighter fiction as I am suspecting it will turn sad very soon.

[@katyareads221]

Urban Fantasy.....KMM.."FIRE"...awesome! Mac grows over the books. So the author has another series.....time travel Series called "Highlander Series" who travel forward and current heroines travel back.....the characters do show up in the Fire series but it is not necessary to read Fire.

[@butterfly-angel25]

I just ordered my first maga series. The shortcake cake volume 1. Thank you Chelsea.

[@AnniexLiam]

Dude midnight sky is brilliant and Is a much watch

[@samanthasnow309]

OMG. I read the beginning of the fever series while in Dublin. Best experience ever! I hope you love them!

[@Nymphalunaris]

Radium girls is such a heartbreaking story but an important read

[@tammycuglietta8139]

It shows the teen version is $1.42 on playbooks for the ebook but the adult version is almost $15.00. I am not sure what the differences are except the adult version has more pages.

[@Nymphalunaris]

@@tammycuglietta8139 probably condensed and less graphic

[@sharonforbes162]

Great book haul!! I smiled when you started talking about The Winter People, as I have a copy at the very top of one of my many TBR stacks! Hopefully I'll get to reading it soon it does sound like a good, scary read!😊

[@scoobydoo_forever]

Snow falling on cedars getting recommended to me on Pinterest and I saw it at my local bookstore I have not ready yet though

[@barbarachmura2695]

I loved Snow Falling on Cedars. It's also a movie.

[@emilyrogers3271]

The Midnight Sky with George Clooney is a good space movie. We watched it on Amazon Prime. Also, I just used your link to a order a bookmark!

[@trishwickwire3079]

Just finished murderbot series loved it

[@LoveSweetEvil]

Omg I just started Dark Fever series I’m about 67% threw the first book and it is amazing!!!

I'm so looking forward to reading Good morning Midnight. The movie was lovely.

[@trudyjohns5150]

Radium Girls is excellent, but sometimes graphic!!!

[@faithparker8311]

Radium Girls is an amazing read! I did an entire research paper on them! The audiobook was wonderful. Also, the movie is on Netflix for when you finish! ☺️

[@katehigh1656]

Have you read Ceres, hana Kimi and dramacon manga. I love those series ^_^

[@amandaburrell9697]

My husband and I started watching the midnight sky cause George Clooney and we got bored and never finished. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ hopefully the book is better

[@AnEmbarrassmentofBooks]

You have read Kushiel's Dart, right? And, oh my god, have you seen Book Art's new dinosaur bookmark? Amazing!

[@threeoaks2004]

I heard Gabriel’s Inferno on prime is really close to the books. 🙂

[@samanthasnow309]

Does the movie incorporate all 3 books? I can't wait to watch it!

[@threeoaks2004]

It looks like on Amazon prime it is 3 parts- all seem to be movie length so they be 1 book per part.

[@leeh4343]

I enjoyed Snow Falling On Cedars - why do I think it’s also a film with Ethan Hawke? 🤷🏼‍♀️ - interested in hearing what you think 😊

[@catsandbats77]

Ethan Hawke was in the film, but I never watched it.

[@if3rA]

You should read Psy Changeling series by Nalini Singh. It's considered paranormal romance but to me, it's more urban fantasy romance. It is episodic in the sense that every book centers around a different couple but the world and the overarching plot (or plots, we are in the second big arc of the world ) are magnificent. There is a lot of political maneuvering. One thing to have in mind, there are 19 books in the series right now (number 20 comes out this summer) I didn't love the first book but kept pushing because people said that book 3 was the game changer and they were right (books 1 and 2 are ok just not my favorites). If after book three you are not hooked then it's not a series for you. I really think that you will love it. (sorry for any mistake, English is not my first language)

[@mindysdiamondmoment]

Ok..you drew me right over to the bookmarks. She has a dachshund....had to have...lol

[@debikonnerth2560]

Why doesn’t anyone ever talk about Christine Feehan’s Dark Series. She has a couple other series, but I haven’t read any of those yet.

[@trinity1022]

I agree! I’m going to start reading this series (Christine Freehan) in March, and I plan to do a review on the books. I do weekly wrap ups and monthly reviews as well.

[@debikonnerth2560]

@@trinity1022 that’s great! I’ve read the first 12 or 13 books in the series and have the next 4-5 available in my TBR towers of books. lol

[@LisbethJimenez]

I tried reading the Karen Marie Moning book and had to DNF halfway through I wanted to punch the male protag in the throat not a good thing in a romance novel. I picked up Gabriels Inferno and was confused by the male protag as well which again in a romance book not a good thing. Having said that both books have a cult following so it's a me thing.

[@MariChuyBeltran]

Have you tried reading her Highlander series? They are different than the Fever series.

[@LisbethJimenez]

@@MariChuyBeltran The Fever series was the first time I ever DNF'ed a romance book I was surprised, I always assumed that romance was my safe genre for reading, boy was I wrong. I don't need the male protag to be a saint but punching someone in the face isn't the feeling I am looking for when reading romance novels.

[@MariChuyBeltran]

@@LisbethJimenez I read a post by KMM the other day on Facebook and she said that the Fever Series is not written to be a romance. Since she said that maybe Romance can still be your safe space. :) Her Highlander books are definitely romance. The man and woman together by the end of the book.

[@LisbethJimenez]

@@MariChuyBeltran I should've explained myself better romance is my safe space, her as an author I will give her another shot someday when I have total amnesia of that book. I remember my Highlander phase loved it. That's the problem with being old haha

[@katyareads221]

Oh boy, Gabriel's inferno....you'll either love it or hate it....hey they made a movie of book 1....2 is coming.

[@blazewskimeghan5424]
