buying books instead of going to therapy 🙃 | another huge book haul

[@Hanbrolo444]

If you haven’t already, you should totally look into the trigger warnings on a little life. Just in case, because I’ve heard it’s been a LOT of some people. I’m excited to read it too, but also a little scared hahaha

[@thisstoryaintover]

Oo ok thank you for the heads up!!

[@user-qu8zs7vs1x]

That book is a walking bouquet of trigger warnings. I have no idea why someone would willingly read it.

[@kianadoescod6402]

@@user-qu8zs7vs1x honestly I was left shaking. My boyfriend was so confused how a book could do so much damage. People come over and see it on my shelf and I tell them not to read it. Don’t. I think it actually takes something from you, especially if you can relate to it.

[@user-qu8zs7vs1x]

@@kianadoescod6402 exactly. And I keep seeing all these KZbinrs promoting it or giving it exposure and then saying "oh, don't read it". Like, dude, then don't make a reading vlog that's gonna be watched by thousands of people who will likely want to emulate you.

[@withcindy]

"i thought it was about the life of a middle-aged man" imagine diving into "a little life" thinking that without reading the synopsis JDKSADKSAJLK. her body and other parties had gorgeous writing! it makes me want to see full-length novels from the author.

[@thisstoryaintover]

I was grossly misinformed 😂😂 and oo that sounds promising, I'm excited for the collection!

[@evies.1018]

I’m so excited for The Bronzed Beasts! I read the series after seeing you talk about it; as an autistic person, Zofia is one of the first autistic characters I’ve read that’s in a story that’s not centered around her autism and she means so much to me!

[@thisstoryaintover]

Ugh yay I'm so glad to hear that 🥺❤️

[@KLC228]

Buying books and reading books are two different hobbies

[@leah-pg7oe]

I love the author of Iron Widow’s KZbin channel. They break down popular Asian media and show what’s actually cultural correct. Highly recommend the channel!!

[@mxphxsto8334]

omg same!

[@choihaeki]

These are good recommendations. But maybe for next year or in ebook/audiobook format 🥲

[@jonelljonelljonell]

that title tho 😂

[@gauribirmole9100]

I am so glad you bought 'Her Body and Other Parties' because that book is BEAUTIFULLY written. You will definitely love the writing! Also, when you read it, you will find so many aspects in this book that hold significance but you can't figure out how to interpret them and I think that's the most interesting part. You have to take your time interpreting them. The genre and form of each story vary but the themes discussed are so important!

[@catherinearnold6871]

If you like High Society scandals and magic, I would totally recommend reading The Midnight Bargain. I loved it! I would check out the synopsis on Goodreads.

[@louisity]

I am definitely curious about The Gilded Wolves series. 🐺📚

[@valeriavali3716]

A little life is very emotional and it broke my heart. 💔😭 I will never forget this book.

[@VirulentVenus]

How long did it take you to read? I started reading a month ago, I got to around 60 something pages and can’t seem to muster the mental energy to get through this mammoth book. Is it worth it? Haha I really want to finish it…the size just throws me off! 😂

[@valeriavali3716]

@@VirulentVenus one month. This book took time because its very emotional and sometimes I had to pause because I couldn't handle it but for me its worth. Its one of the best books I ever read.

[@ms.ginthelibrary2444]

I'm also super excited for Bronzed Beasts, and not starting it yet because I hate the ending of things!

[@estellelefranc1378]

Love you and your channel Jananie. Thank you for always making me smile 😘

[@HasabeMizurukara]

My copy of Bronzed Beasts comes Fri and I'm so hyped. I want Iron Widow. I started Lobizona as an audio and I had to stop because I want to own it and read it physically. I need this series! I also want to read How We Fall Apart. I can't wait, my loan for Her Party and Other Body parts comes in a couple weeks. I really like Moreno-Garcia. I just bought Velvet Was The Night. I still need to read a Grady Hendrix.

[@dissertatinopossum]

I really really liked The Year of the Witching! So happy it was available at the library. Still haven't had the chance to read any of Grady Hendrix's books but hope to when I make a bigger dent in what I own/can find it at the library.

[@teresarosereads]

Loved hearing you talk about The Gilded Ones series! I really need to finally pick them up

[@francescakyanda9182]

When you're in college so you can't afford brand new books OR therapy 🤪

[@DelFeeny]

I felt your energy for The Bronzed Beasts! I'm waiting for my pre-order to arrive, I'm so excited. Yes please do a vlog for it!

[@clareseymour6227]

Omg omg I’m currently reading The Bronzed Beasts and LOVING it❤️‍🔥 this series is fantastic. But now I’m terrified to finish it based on what you heard about the ending😂😭 once I finish it I will immediately be watching your vlog 😍

[@winniesbookclub1171]

This caption spoke to me on a spiritual level

[@angelaholmes8888]

I can't wait to request iron widow at the library I just finished reading the beautiful ones I absolutely loved it I will be reading sylvia Moreno Garcia other book in October certain dark things

[@MLLatUtube]

I want to read The Southern Book Club too - I don't usually read horror (as in hardly ever) but this one sounds like fun.

[@peacegirlxx99]

[@peacegirlxx99]

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great book haul

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I still need to read silvered serpents 😩

[@insanebutterfly3439]

Just what I needed today. Thank you. 💖

[@shante9700]

Looooovee Year of the Witching!!!

[@christinacampbellbooks]

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on lots of these especially The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires ☺

[@mnlxlover00]

I really want to try out Iron Widow...it sounds like JUST my kind of book! 🤣💖

[@heyimsasa]

i'm so excited ot get started on iron widow! i'm doing my very first buddy read with it and my friend's copy doesn't come in until friday so mine is just sitting next to me, taunting me 😭😭

[@thehornoftheunicorn]

I loved Verity! I hope you enjoy 😊

[@procaffeinate_withbooks]

The year of witching is awesome. You will love it. The Beautiful ones - will give you a disclaimer... it's not the Magic... like VE schwab books. More like the magic tricks people do ... that kind. Thought you should know before diving in.

[@traceydodak4965]

I thought I was the only one who prefers paperback over hardcover.

[@claudiafusato9567]

I’m listening to the audiobook of the year og the W. and it is a great book 🙏🏻📚 quite spooky too

[@heathzr23]

subscribed simply based off of the title of this video.

[@bookwormdystopian]

The Year of the Witching is a good one for October. It is very atmospheric and the second book comes out soon too. Her Body and Other Parties I found very interesting and experimental. Dark Academia vlog maybe???

[@rachelnuala2034]

I’m currently reading Southern Book club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires and loving it!

[@francescakyanda9182]

Loved this book!

[@OhioEddieBlack]

OMG my book club read Verity a couple of months ago and there were at least 4 different theories as to what actually happened at the end and several people had to go back and reread the ending because nobody could agree on what actually happened, Good luck with that LOL

[@thisstoryaintover]

That sounds so intriguing!! 👀👀👀

[@amberdiorable]

I finished The Gilded Wolves last night! This series is really gonna wreck me huh? Great

[@VirulentVenus]

I would love to hear your thoughts on Verity. I’m very interested in reading it myself! Also love this collection of books you’ve shown us today! 🖤🖤

[@mayuthedemon33]

Me to i pick up silent patient

[@i_am_robinnxp]

Iron Widow reminds me of the anime Darling in the Franx😂 (based on your summary of the former

[@bettyswitchedhomerooms]

Loved Year of the Witching sooooo much! 🥺 Please tell your thoughts about it once you’ve read it. ❤️ would love to hear it 😄

[@ScullyPop]

I love that title to the video.

[@agnes4606]

Your first synopsis of A Little Life is not wrong though😭

[@maebooks]

I’m soooo excited to read the beautiful ones!! But I’m also absolutely terrified to read a little life

[@joa2332]

I preordered the bronzed beasts and I’m expecting my copy on Monday and I will die if the ending is worse than clockwork princess like HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?

[@johnsaxongitno4life588]

Love this video and your amazing channel

[@joa2332]

OMG YEAH DOMA VLOG OF TBB PLS

[@boliviab77]

I NEED to know your thoughts on "Verity". I read it with my friend and we were loosing it reading it and I need more ppl to read it and talk abt it

[@mayuthedemon33]

I like watching ur channel got ur picks.

[@ryannabrown8467]

Girl same 😩

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great haul

[@sarahwilliamsandco]

I have literally just finished Her Body and Other Parties. I really enjoyed it. It was mysterious and unsettling and spooky. Yet relatable. Excited to see what you think!

[@marinwolff7031]

I think I'm one of the few people who flat-out HATED A Southern Book Clubs Guide to Slaying Vampires. H-A-T-E-D! I didn't see any humor, just a whole lot of racism and sexism. Hopefully you enjoy it more than I did!

[@lakotafuqua2675]

same to the title bestieee😊

[@realCoryGoodwin]

You’re going to love Verity. My favorite of Colleen Hoover.

[@theinstabookworm6428]

Can't wait to hear what you think of Verity! Colleen Hoover is my favourite author!

[@xdx7720]

I have read and loved the book The southern book clubs guide to slaying vampires I rated it 4*on good reads I really enjoyed it would recommend x

[@madamejaysynstarotoriginal]

Allies sounds like a good book and I don’t want anybody to feel unheard for feelings of racial disphoria but transracial shouldn’t be a thing. I can understand transgender, but Rachel Dolezal tanning her skin and getting a perm doesn’t change the fact that her DNA is European. Also, it’s very frustrating to have to deal with cultural appropriation and blackfishing and then also let white people own our culture because they “feel black”. You can’t feel like a race. Nobody is monolithic and performing blackness is perpetuating stereotypes. Race is only halfway a social construct. The other half is heritage and biology. I know our generation wants to accept everybody, but the transracial thing is getting out of hand.

[@ashantihayes4321]

I completely agree with everything you said. I think when she brought up transracial she meant transracial adoption (like a white family adopting a black child). I've been seeing a lot of kids who were adopted by white families coming out saying how the cultural and racial differences between them and their parents were really hard for them. I might be completely wrong. Correct me if I am.

[@thisstoryaintover]

Hi yes, when I said transracial I was talking about an author in the anthology, Eric Smith, who talks about being a transracial adoptee, i.e. someone adopted by parents who are of a different race than him.

[@takshatangudu8736]

Titles like this should be awarded😂

[@ravent3016]

A scary book for October - The Girl with All the Gifts by M. R. Carey. So much better than the movie. Warning: Verity has child abuse. :(

[@sleepycat3282]

I always thought A Little Life was about WW2, think i just assumed because of the cover. Guess i was wrong haha

[@gdwelle31]

I saw the title and immediately related😂

[@rina6472]

please search up the trigger warnings for a little life before reading. anyway great video :)

[@kelseywenrich5832]

Seriously be careful with A Little Life.
