A HUGE END OF THE YEAR TBR

[@ritabarbosa1183]

I literally ran to my shelf to give my copy of Winterwood a hug after you showed us that injury, had to tell her her sister will be okay

[@edsgirl9290]

I love how I’m nervous to pick up priory of an orange tree just because of how big it is, yet I will binge read a whole series of books that is equivalent to the amount of pages that book has and sometimes many more 😂😂

[@Nxrth2001]

Its kinda expensive so wondering if I should pick it upp

[@cyrineh5602]

I like that you call your books "she" sometimes.

[@davidfletcher8335]

InstaBlaster...

[@thetland0308]

Somebody call the book paramedics!!!

[@cottonreyn]

I’m so dying over the “I’m here for the smut” 😂 I can SO relate

[@josparx5372]

I read Priory of the Orange Tree back in June and I loved it! By far one of my top favorites of the year. Now Samantha Shannon is an automatic read for me, no matter what it is lol. I know you'll love Priory of the Orange Tree too

[@TheJabberCrew]

I want to read Winterwood just because of how gorgeous the cover is!

[@beepboop9976]

I literally have 1 book that I want to read in December. There’s so much stress already I can’t put that amount of pressure on myself 😭

[@olivia_vermast]

Jemma G oof same, I’m just full of stress

[@jennawar13]

relatable

[@icedcoffeeandbookss]

Debbie Macomber has great holiday themed books.

[@TheHexedLibrary]

READ THAT WINDWITCH!!!!!!!! Yeah, I loooove the witchlands more than anyone probably should. One of my all-time favorite series. As a side note, the book that came out this year, Bloodwitch, is not the finale. They haven't released the full number yet but I think it's going to be somewhere around 6 including the Sightwitch Novella. Good luck with your reading for the month! I hope you get to everything!

[@JessicaRoseReads]

I believe you're right. On Goodreads there are 5 books listed, plus the novella! The series 'should' wrap up in 2021!

[@TheHexedLibrary]

@@JessicaRoseReads That's assuming she's able to get a book out this year. I know the author just announced that she's pregnant and she's had a lot of complications in the past so I'm totally fine with waiting until next year ☺️

[@isabellao18]

I LOVED Serpent & Dove! I didn't think the book was problematic at all, and I generally am the type of person who gets irked by even the slightest bit of problematic content

[@chelsimullen65]

If you read all of this, you'll be my hero! That's a huge TBR and a lot of books I am interested in too! I really hope you like Serpent and Dove. I was very pleasantly surprised by it and it reminded me a ton of SJM books. It wasn't perfect, but none of its flaws had anything to do with being "problematic."

[@catcreme]

reading Priory and Clash of Kings in the same month? omg you're ambitious. I hope you get to every book on your TBR but most importantly love everything you do get to read this month

[@georgiefarr1094]

I finished 3 books out of 7 books for my December tbr. I'm rereading The Cruel Prince so that I can read The Lost Sisters (novella), then The Wicked King and then Queen of Nothing. I read The Cruel Prince in February 2018 and I liked it but rereading again - I'm finding it boring. I dont know why but the reason I am reading it again is because I don't remember what happened so it's going to take a while as I've got some other books to read as well xxx

[@centennialcentaur]

The Saviors Champion is my favourite book of all time, and I’m planning to reread it this month!!

[@SpacePrjncess]

Bloodwitch is lifeeeee you need to get to it! And there are two more books coming out after it too!

[@MrsBoop666]

Gretchen Dowdy I was about to comment that. The Witchlands is not a trilogy ☺️

[@kerstanb]

You can order book tape on amazon. It will fix that book. Stuff is amazing and is made just for that!

[@angelajones4018]

The Savior's Champion is honestly so Good!!! Once I started it and I couldn't put it down, and it got me through a huge four year reading slump. I hope you like it.

[@zaitheempressroll8922]

house of salt and sorrows is amazing!!!! you will love it

[@tara3827]

I loved the book Let it snow and it is very holiday themed book. I don't read a lot of contemporary books, but I really liked it :)

[@kelseykiehl5775]

Holiday themed- The Chaos of Standing Still by Jessica Brody- and I can see it already sitting on your shelf😊 P.S if you want some hard hitting contemporary I highly recommend: 1. The female of the Species (on your self already) 2. Heroine both are by Mindy Mcginnis.

[@mayra5440]

Kelsey Kiehl yes!!! I was gonna recommend this one

uhhh that's super ambitious tbr! just don't get stressed if you don't finish all the books, please💛 i only want to read darkdawn & muse of nightmares so we will see how it goes

[@alanamcshera9776]

How do people not like serpent and dove 🥺 it had me hooked from the beginning!

[@delaney7021]

"There we go, I'm not saying it again, I swear." 😂

[@kiahwilson6319]

I would looooove a dedicated reading vlog for Darkdawn! I want to see all your thoughts and feelings for it! I read this series based off your recommendation and I loved it so much - Mia is my new fave gal and I am still not over what happened in Darkdawn so I need to hear your thoughts!

[@kammypost730]

I LOVE an ambitious TBR! Good luck!

[@lucy-lv4xp]

My sister got me the priory of the orange tree for Christmas and I'm so excited to read it

[@tana3537]

Okay my heart hurt for you when you showed Winterwood... I don't really take care of my books and they look terrible when I'm done with them, but even that rip made me gasp out loud

[@reeroy7160]

BLUE SPRAYED EDGES 🤩

[@UnrealB]

I'm reading Conceal Don't Feel for December too!! I'm not too far in it but I think it's really good. I reckon you'll love it.💕❄

[@florisrosie3634]

OMG I swear it wasn´t my intention but I cry laughing at the beginning with that fall!!!

[@LucieReads]

Good luck with your tbr!

[@jedibookmasterivy]

Winterwood and Serpent & Dove were both some of my favorite reads of the year! SO GOOD!

[@holleydupre2669]

I audibly gasped when you held up Winterwood as the damaged book! So sad!

[@smallvilleisdabomb]

LOL Adam saying "Bye" in the background

[@Tiffs-bookshelf]

Winterwood and house of salt and sorrows are good. They’re slow to start though. But the ending of both are shocking and unexpected

[@sjthorn]

Every video you make just makes my day so much brighter and makes me smile.

[@sldkfk7858]

smut is definitely a legitimate reason to be excited over a book (i feel attacked)

[@misskikikat]

I hate when books get damaged. It saddens me so much. I work in education/child care - and by far one of the worse things I have ever seen is a little girl ripping the pages out of a book, and also the cover of a book. I saw her starting to do doing it and told her not to do it and she went and did something else, but she went back a second time, again to be told not to treat books like that by me as I was the one who again saw her doing this (and I got told off by the other educator, since I was at the time a student; for reprimanding her) and again moved her away from the book. But alas, she went back a third time, and ended up completely destroying the book, of which I caught her doing once again - and by this time it was in literal pieces. And as someone who loves books, and treats them with the utmost care; even when they are books borrowed from the library or friends - I was in shock that the staff had allowed this to happen, and didn't even let the child know that she had done something bad, or even let the parents know when she was picked up that afternoon that she had destroyed a piece of child care property!

[@JesseOnYoutube]

the smut in S&D definitely comes through!!! they were pretty much my favorite scenes lmao

[@ThisIsSilvia]

Love love LOVE that you're also taking part in G's magical readathon!!

[@ricecakepower]

I've just started reading Christmas at the beach hut for a cosy kind of read. By Veronica Henry. It's set in England and about a woman who always gets all the Christmas chores lumped in to her and so she gets fed up and runs off to a beach hut where she meets others like her.

[@wickedfandom]

I’m sending good vibes your way that you can finish all the books! 💜

[@ipek8209]

this was such a great video! definitely cheered me up! you are literally so gorgeous and so funny, i love your videos so much!!

[@luna-pn9wy]

Im so excited for you to read serpent and dove and see what you think because I loved it!! QON gave me the judecardan I wanted.

[@aundiekutzkey3802]

Do you have to read the short stories to understand the Blood of Elves? Because that sounds right up my alley!!

[@broadwaybutterfly310]

Im also dying to read Conceal Don't Feel but it's suuuuch a long wait to get it from the library! I also have Mirror, Mirror and Part of Your World from the library already but I wanna read them all together

[@mekhalavillegas1126]

Queen of Nothing is beautiful and amazing!! I hope you get to it soon because it is just....... YES QUEEN!!!

[@Atalinay]

Also haven't gotten to Queen of Nothing. And like a lot of other series continuations. I have some of my most anticipated books still unread. We got this!

[@stiinachan2860]

I just finished listened the Last wish and started listening to Sword of Destiny. Such a cool coincidence (like with Korra). Also wanted to say that i think the audiobook narrator is AMAZING, especially how he does Geralts voice (the women are a bit funny tho). 😊 But is it just me or does Geralt sound EXACTLY like the guy from Transporter (Jason Statham). 😅 Also you will FOR SURE love Serpent and the Dove because I've read it and dare i say that we have similar taste in books (big SJM fan here). 🙂

[@deeray.]

I’m about to freak out because no one is talkin about children of virtue and vengeance 😭🤯

[@daniellew544]

Desiree Ramos me too!!!!!!!!

[@whoa9074]

On Twitter!! That’s where we are discussing 😊

[@2012funfamilytimes]

Loved the 12 dancing princesses. Definitely not a Christmas story.

[@josparx5372]

Love your videos so much!! You always inspire me to read. I have 8 books on my December TBR, and I'm in the middle of The Poppy War. After you recommend it, I knew I had to check it out. So far I really really like it. So thank you so much!!! 💕💕

[@mimowinxy]

I LOVE Safi and Iseult's friendship! But sadly it's not as prominent in Windwitch, just a forewarning. So much happens though, especially Merik's journey! The Witchlands is SO good! Also, I felt that when your book ripped 😢 poor baby

[@vickyhide7406]

How the Grinch Stole my Heart, I’m currently reading it and loving the story.

[@amandasadventuresinbooklan5777]

Conceal Don’t Feel is so good!

[@amypotts1656]

You should check out the bookshop around the corner by Jenny colgan it is such a cute and cozy read!

[@kamilamullen2897]

A fast holiday read could be pride and prejudice and mistletoe

[@RachelReadsandSings]

YESSSSS What I Lost is incredible!! I had to give it 5 stars!

[@theinvisibleshelf9580]

The black kitty SO FREAKING CUTE Have you ever read 'A Christmas Carol' ??? Its probably my all time fav Christmas book, bc it's dark and fun. Not on the spooky side, but it's "terror" themed, it won't scare you or anything, it just has ghosts (the book is really good and describes everything to perfection, maybe thats why some find it a scary one hahahhaha )

[@KMort]

Loveed the video but T’Challa licking himself casually in the background was so funny😂 My cat was sitting on me and when I pointed him out she stared until he left the screen👏🏻🙌🏻🐱✨🖤

[@nerditthisway1375]

Yay! ambitious TBR!

[@safinan8008]

Good luck with ur huge TBR for December!! I loved the book the queen of nothing by holly black!! Happy reading to u!! 😊📖

[@JemimaRose]

you should re-read acofas for the holidays :P

[@jennawar13]

oh man that stack went down! I always get terrified when a book stack falls lol Your TBR for December is so ambitious! My goal is only 3 books and following along with but postponing G's magical read-a-thon to January because I have fallen off the book wagon and feel like there's no time! 😂So far I listened to The Death of Mrs. Westaway and I only ~really~ want to get to my avatar graphic novel and finish this year's coffee table book (HP Film Wizardry). Super light TBR and it will still be a challenge for me bahaha.

[@apageaboutemilie4729]

"What light" by Jay Asher is a nice Christmas-y book😍🎄

[@inescarrera584]

Hey! Congrats on 40k subscribers!!!🥰 “I’m gonna be honest, i’m kind of here for the smut” We all are!!😂

priory is on my december tbr too! i started it a little while ago and i liked it but it’s just so dang big lmao!

[@joblue8065]

Was I just imagining it, or was it really Cindy's voice at the beginning of the video? 🧐.. Also the Serpent and Dove edition was gorgeous!

[@jennawar13]

haha yes! that video was sooo funny

[@macinnismama]

I dont know if you'd be interested in a middle grade. I'm reading The Christmasaurus this month. Its quick, fun, holiday themed, and fantasy lol. Might fit the bill if you want a non contemporary festive read 😊

[@0p0a0s4]

I feel like every book on earth has some thing that someone can "problematic" within it. It just depends on what you're sensitive to. A lot of booktubers have given a older book that's super-problematic 5 stars but then complain about new books that had similar themes, so I wouldn't worry. To each their own I guess.

[@briek9482]

I didn't see another comment but just so you know Bloodwitch isn't the last book in the Witchland series. I think there is going to be 5 books total

[@emilywheeler1655]

i've been in the middle of priory since literally august lmao. its really good and based on your taste, i know you'll love it but ITS SO SLOW BE WARNED

[@ACourtofHooksAndBooks]

Pretty sure you've read all my recommendations: the winternight trilogy, spinning silver, and wintersong.

[@allbookedup755]

Christmas books Mistletoe promise Dashing through the snow

[@JesseOnYoutube]

have you read landline? its a beloved xmas read for me. i always reread the Polar Express too!

[@Dollarsigns6654]

About the holiday themed books, might I be a basic bitch and recommend "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens? My copy is only 68 pages, so it's pretty quick. If you get the full length book, there are other stories in it. Good luck with those 13 books!

[@taylorthenatural5509]

I heard "the afterlife of Holly Chase" is a new retelling of a Christmas Carol. You might like it.

[@Dollarsigns6654]

Taylor Sipp I’ve never heard of it. Thanks!

[@Jeramie26]

I just started reading Harry Potter series. I've decided to read them for this month. Right now, I am currently reading The Prisoner of Azkaban. I wanted to try some of disney twisted stories like Conceal, don't feel that you mention. But I know Frozen us base on The Snow Queen and Elsa and Anna are not really sisters.

[@LorisBookTrials]

I still have to read the wicked King and then finally start The Queen of Nothing. But first I need to reread Skyward by Brandon Sanderson, so I can get to Starsight. Which together has almost 1000 pages. And I also want to reread the Toll by Neal Shusterman. Which I read last month and I loved it but the way my mind was last month, I know I missed something's. And that book is over 600 pages. Good luck on your tbr and I hope you get to all of your books for this month.

[@kelsqi-books4835]

You should read 12 dancing princesses! The one I had as a kid was super short. The princesses sneak out every night and dance holes into their shoes. The king is wondering how their shoes keep getting ruined. 😂😉📚
