February 2017 Epic Book Haul | King's Cage, Caraval, Long May She Reign & More! | Epic Reads

[@jaedyn225]

"what does it smell like?? * whispers * an uprising" XD

[@maryroses9289]

I'm suppose to be studying for tomorrow but Epic Reads videos are sooo much better!

[@margotwood]

BOOOO STUDYING IS DUMB. What test are you studying for? Perhaps I can help.

[@AutumnOceanSky]

I live for the covers in the Red Queen series (even though I haven't read any of the books lol).

[@Aure11an]

So loved red queen I got a copy for my library. Called it a happy national library day present.

[@themusicofthenight2778]

Read Sleep Eat Repeat I am in love with the cover and I've read the books. But i might get King's Cage tomorrow

[@margotwood]

Those book covers are like shiny objects. Even if I just spot one out of the corner of my eye I will immediately be drawn to it.

[@askthehaters]

i actually didn't like them, like you i got lured it by the beauty of the covers but was a huge let down

[@ilsenleon2378]

The covers are really nice

[@Haleybug211]

Caraval was amazing! Won't disappoint! It will definitely keep you on your toes. 😊

[@margotwood]

Oooh that is exactly the kind of book I am looking for right now!

[@maryk.8234]

King's Cage....... my precious. The time has come........ *evil laugh*

[@delanieparis8359]

Please......... I'm the king now.

[@margotwood]

WHOA. MAVEN. WHO LET YOU ON KZbin.

[@bellacullen9434]

Mary K. lol

[@_moonsnail]

Margot Wood probably elara

[@marcellaporro3341]

I'm literally screaming for Kings Cage!! I cannot wait. February 7th.... I'm stopping whatever I'm reading that day and starting this book

[@Smartypantsawsomer]

Marcella Porro OMG SAME! I'm so freaking excited!

[@marcellaporro3341]

KristisMusiK I was so happy to find out that it was coming out soon because I just finished every other book AND THE CLIFFHANGER IN GLASS SWORD cant

[@marcellaporro3341]

When the bomb was dropped that Maven was a psychopath, I threw my book. I was in LOVE with him... Now he is one of the most unpredictable characters in this series, and I don't exactly love him anymore but I am interested in what comes next. Maven provides that aura of "shits about to go down" xD side note: I read all of the books in the throne of glass series and I have to wait a year for the last book to come out and its KILLING ME so i know the waiting feels

[@swimmergrl23100]

im so behind in my TBR. I have a good 40 books piled in my room waiting to be read, and i keep buying more

[@margotwood]

I have given up on trying to keep up with my TBR.

[@evermoremystic17]

The struggle is real! Same here. 😢

[@delliebby2296]

Literally woke up this morning to the doorbell from the mailman (or was it this afternoon? 12:00 pm is morning for me) I was so excited !! and the opening message to all the young girls ❤ it touched me. Thank you, Victoria Aveyard. Favorite author I swear 🙌🙌 not only because of her writing but her fight for women equality and important issues !!

[@delliebby2296]

character names I can't pronouce: cue THE SELECTION SERIES !!

[@SheraAtBookWhispers]

It's always comforting to know you're not the only one who strokes and sniffs the books. Can't believe all the upcoming sequels I spaced out on!

[@robertelder5770]

Caraval is my favorite read of 2017. I just loved it so much!

[@TheMusiclover924]

CARAVAL IS AMAZING!! And I loved Frostblood too ❤❤

[@lizzyh.4539]

I IMMEDIATELY started fangirling when that GORGEOUS kings cage was revealed! The whole package design of the book is beautiful!!!😇😇😇😇😍😍😍😍

[@maddytran6276]

This is honestly what I look forward to every month, Margot is the best 😂

[@margotwood]

Awwwww omg thank you so much, that is the nicest thing to say! 😍

[@TalesoftheRavenousReader]

CARAVAL! By Your Side! Long May She Reign! So many great books

[@95sumi]

I'm currently reading caraval it's so good, it's captivating in the most magical way!

[@jadathebookworm1828]

I do the same thing with the characters names I don't know how to pronounce! I just kind jumble all the letters of their names in my head and just continue reading.

[@Channel-gp9bu]

When Margot brought out Caraval, I was like, "Guuuurl! I want one!"

[@kimberlyvanderbloom4885]

First I have read Frostblood and loved it. I devoured it in a few days. I'm reading Caraval right now. I was stalking the mail person and when they didn't come by 10am I ran to Barnes and Noble to buy it. I read 153 books last year. I'm trying not to fall behind so I'm on 12.

[@itzjuliacx5125]

just looking at the king's cage book is giving me chills already oh my god im so scared. 😭😭😭

[@Kathryn12399]

I am in a Literature class this semester and we are reading a bunch of books that my teacher assigned but that means I am already so behind on what I need to read!! The struggle is real!

[@gretal3071]

I read 220 books in 2016! Also, I am so excited for the Harry Potter video.

[@FarhatC28]

Can I just this the first video of yours that I'm watching and I AM SO GLAD YOU SHOW WHAT'S UNDER THE DUST JACKET. After the third time you did that I subscribed straight away. I live in Australia and so most of my books are bought online. The difference between me buying the hardcover or not can sometimes come down to whether it's still pretty under the jacket but I can't tell from online shops. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH, KEEP DOING IT, I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH.

[@siobhanodonnell964]

Thumbs up if you love new book smell

[@jkmacrunnel]

I preordered King's Cage, can't wait for it to arrive!! I already have Carve the Mark, I'm so impressed by how beautiful it is! So many other great new releases this month, so excited!! Still waiting for my pre-order of Caraval to arrive, can't wait! I read 201 books in 2016! My goal for 2017 is also 200 books.

[@evenstar1020]

King's Cage...awesome video, as always, Margot!!

[@margotwood]

Thank you!!!

[@kaitlynabshire4573]

I have read Wait for Me and Silver Stars and both were wonderful! Wait for Me was such a surprising read for me! I didn't expect it to be so adorable!

[@abigaillewis9198]

BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY

[@BluInfinity]

The library is a magical place.

[@abigaillewis9198]

Jesse_Jane306​​ my local library pretty much never has new releases, I think in total they have about 20 YA books, the mortal instruments, the infernal devices, the hunger games, divergent and twilight, so it kinda sucks :(

[@chelseas1346]

Does your library accept purchase suggestions? Mine has that on their website.

[@abigaillewis9198]

Chelsea S my library doesn't have a website😭

[@destinysingh9048]

Abigail Lewis did you try the overdrive app which allow you to check out books and audiobooks from your library for free?

[@jadeokeefe4993]

I can't wait to get my hands on Kings Cage!!! Those in-papers are so pretty!!

[@lenniejoaquin7091]

I just get soo happy when you past another video Margot! Soo muchh books coming out and I havent catched up yet from the past years releases!SO MUCH BOOKS, SOO LITTLE MONEY!😭

[@LiLiUM394678]

I finished 108 books in 2016. My feb tbr list is so long and I am so excited. Starfall, A Conjuring of Light, The Wish Granter, Rebel of the Throne and Daughter of the Pirate King are some of the books I am eagerly waiting.

[@kelcisanty3962]

Margo! i miss your Epic Reads Book Hauls, especially since i didn't even find them until a year before you left Epic Reads. I totally love your new videos, but i do miss your Epic Reads hauls.

[@Amanda_the_Librarian]

I'm super behind on my TBR. I haven't finished a book since last July but I am slowly getting back intothe groove. Currently reading This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab. I have been wanting to read Caraval for a while and I bought it yesterday.

[@jayj373]

I recommend doing an HP marathon over 2-3 days because my body physically hurt from being stationary so long. But you're going to have so much fun!!!!

[@gymnastkatie967]

I just finished By your Side and The Distance Between Us and I'm honestly obsessed❤️ love Kasie West so much!!

[@katiewinn2660]

I *LOVED* Caraval!!! I was excited to find it at the library, it took over my entire week (sorry other plans), and I was so tortured over giving it back to the library (there was a real heart-twinge there) that I ordered my own copy immediately... and then went on to film a skit video about my impatience waiting for it. XD Gosh I haven't been this in love with a book since Harry Potter.

[@bookishbibliomania9482]

Last year I managed to read around 160 books (which I was super proud of) and this year I'm shooting for around the same number. So far this year I've read about 12 books and have finally started the Mortal Instruments series! It's going to be a good reading year. Also, King's Cage papers all the way. I'm obsessed with how good they look.

[@margotwood]

HOLY CRAP. 160 BOOKS??????? DID YOU NOT SLEEP OR SOMETHING?

[@TheEJFletcher]

Margot, have you seen the UK editions of Caraval? They're amazing. I've just started it :)

[@margotwood]

OMG THEY ARE STUNNING AND MY BLACK AND GOLD AESTHETIC. Thank god they are in the UK otherwise I'd have to spend more money on books I can't afford.

[@TheEJFletcher]

Right? Amazing! I feel the same way about lots of US editions :) Let us all know what you think of Caraval once you've read it - I enjoyed it immensely! X

[@allisonrose466]

I am behind on my TBR too! I'm currently reading Heartless by Marissa Meyer and then I want to pick up the White Rose by Amy Ewing. I read 5 books in January which is less then what I wanted but I read some really good ones! Like the Jewel, the list, and Alice's adventures in wonderland!

[@brittanymatsen1939]

Allison Rose I'm reading The White Rose right now- almost done, it's so good! Heartless was awesome too!

[@ilsenleon2378]

Allison Rose Omg I loved The List! I've been meaning to reread that for the third time XD That's how much I love it

[@maliyahb9116]

I might get these books. Also, I like the way you explain what these books are about and your enthusiasm about the books. The one I like the most is that Romeo and Juliet retelling book. Also, I'm a new subscriber.

[@allisbookscreativity3303]

You can't miss the Red Queen Series. I first read Red Queen during Thanksgiving 2015. Finished reading it in 3 days and my mind was so blown.

[@allisbookscreativity3303]

Glass Sword was awesome as well. Can't wait for King's Cage.

[@xosarmi2372]

I really really REALLY want to read Caraval!!!!

[@brittanymatsen1939]

Hilarious! These book haul videos are so awesome! I'm finishing 'The Black Key' by Amy Ewing before KINGS CAGE!!! (fangirl-ing). 2017 is a year of literary epic-ness!!

[@delanieparis8359]

The shadow to a flame

[@cora0078]

I pre-odered king's cage, can't wait till I get it

[@ayoits_elyssa]

Corinna Franssen Same tho!!! I keep jumping up and down!

[@billyshakes1643]

I am currently reading "The Madman's Daughter". I don't know if it's my bias for "Red Queen" but I like that end paper better.

[@sammyb4584]

I read 96 books in 2016. My reading goal is...26 but I up it as soon as I by two every time I read a book. I have 20 books that I for sure want to read in 2017 that aren't new releases. Super excited to read "Caraval" I keep calling it Carnival. Currently reading "Heartless" by Marissa Meyer. I have read 7 books so far this year as of Feb. 2.

[@ThePlannerPlaceCo]

*pause after every book and check Barnes & Noble for the preview* TBR is never ending! Thanks Margot :)

[@AncchyHeartAri]

Yessss it's that time of month again :D I can't wait to come home from work and watch it!!! Hi, Margot ^^

[@margotwood]

Hiiiiiiii!!!!

[@ilsenleon2378]

I missed your Book hauls, Margot! Right now, I'm reading Wandering Star by Romina Russell, the second book in the Zodiac. I'm rereading it so I can remember for the third one that is already out that I NEED to read. What's my most anticipated read? EVERYTHING because I'm so behind in the book world. (Still haven't read Harry Potter but that is my reading goal for this year. I will be reading Harry Potter) and I read 50 books last year. I'm planning to read 100 this year but I'm totally behind. It's been a month and I only read 3 because I'm in a horrible reading slump but luckily this book that I'm reading now will take me out of it! But yea sorry for long paragraph comment! I love you Margot! Hope I get to see new videos from you soon!

[@laurajelwell]

I've only read three books in 2017 thus far. The three books by Robert Galbraith->The Cuckoo's Calling, The Silkworm & Career of Evil. Starting on between shades of grey by Ruta Sepetys tonight!

[@meghaaa]

I'm so excited for your Harry Potter video! Hopefully it comes out soon! I'm currently reading 'Something In Between' by Melissa De La Cruz and it's amazing so far.

[@bloomingflowerfae]

I got a Advanced Reader's copy of Caraval. It was number one on my reading list and it is really good. I love it. I wish I had a first edition because the ARC copy that I have doesn't have a map in it. :( I just get red queen last week.

[@kristinahubbell6126]

Currently reading A Court of Mist and Fury. Once I'm done I want to read Red Queen.

[@jsredrose]

I am so excited for Silver Stars! Absolutely loved Front Lines, and apparently there's a new novella in the series out this month? But I am terribly behind in my reading. I'm blaming library school for my lack of me time.

[@arifzulkifli6786]

Can't wait for the harry potter video!

[@margotwood]

I need to buy so many accessories that match my new Hogwarts house.

[@arifzulkifli6786]

Margot Wood omg yessss. after books, harry potter stuffs are importaaaannttt

[@lizzyh.4539]

Margot Wood I am sooo proud of you reading harry potter! You are taking the journey to becoming a pottrrhead! And great videos as always. Btw, just wait until the last book in harry potter...SO MANY FEELINGS!😇😍

[@pinkcupcake1979]

I still need to read Glass Sword😂😂😂 And I'm behind on my TBR too. Yesterday I bought Three Dark Crowns because I want to read it this month. But with all these exams coming up I don't know whether I'm going to read anything

[@pastorytime2683]

Read Caraval yesterday - it was fun and magicky. Gave it four stars - could have done with the main character being a bit more kickass. Xxx

[@tmahmed8849]

Is it a stand alone?

[@pastorytime2683]

Tajreen Think its a series tho not sure how many books.x

[@RomanticRosebud]

Caraval is amazing! I haven't read the Night Circus so as of now haven't read anything like Caraval. It's early in the year but I def know that it's going to be one of my favorites of the year. Frostblood was really good too.

[@margotwood]

Ahhhh I can't wait to read Caraval! I've heard so many amazing things about it!

[@c8marieh]

I'm really far behind. I've only finished one read book so far this year! I'm in the middle of like 3 though, including Carve the Mark! Cannot wait for King's Cage next week!!

[@PrincessJade74]

Epic Reads has just made my tbr pile so much longer... I love the info-graphics, deadly to my wallet though :)

[@charlierask9070]

great video! I am so excited to read Caraval

[@margotwood]

Me too and thanks for watching!

[@holdmytakeyou]

"it smells like an uprising" hahaha. i'm currently reading Wayfarer still. school has been taking up a lot of mine time. i'm trying to make it work though.

[@evel466]

Red Frost Blood and it was pretty awesome! I need so many of these books and to catch up on some! 2016 I read 103 books and my goal is 150 for 2017 and I'm 8 books in. Endpapers I vote King's Cage!

[@emmafisher4001]

holy smokes!!!!!!! i am soooooo behind on my TBR pile!!!!! Can Not WAIT till Kings Cage!!!!!

[@envyandlove]

I read 54 books in 2016 (did a major read-a-thon the last two weeks of 2016 and went from 45 to 54) I just want to read a sizable chunk of all the books I own this year... I have no idea how many books that is, but I have read 10 books so far

[@JavaChipChoclate]

is caraval a standalone? can't wait for my preorders of kings cage and caraval to arrive!!

[@booksargram]

Allegedly is what I'm reading now and it's ripping me apart! It's so, so good and gritty and just all around amazing.

[@margotwood]

I'm so glad you are liking Allegedly! 😀

[@booksargram]

it was really good! i loved it up until the last chapter, where it lost a lot, in my opinion. still a pretty amazing book!

[@whinniebloom]

Your excitement is the best Margot! I'm currently reading Red Rising right now, but I think it might take me a while to get through...because Eo. Why???? Also, I'm so looking forward to A Court of Wings and Ruin. It's sooo far away! *reaches toward the future*

[@oh_hellojenny]

I have the same problem with names - that's why I love when they become movies so I know how to say them!!! I read 24 books in 2016 and want to read 30 this year - I have four down!

[@jadahorseland]

I love King's Cage, but that Wish Granter is sooooooo freaking cool!!!

[@reaganreynolds4874]

definitely just finished A Court of Mist and Fury and had a complete and utter meltdown today and I CANNOT WAIT until the next book comes out- *takes deep breath* only three more months BUT KINGS CAGE so at least I have one book to like ease the angst of this wait

[@bangbangbookreviews762]

I read 118 books last year and my goal for 2017 is 95. I too have only read six books so far and I I too am reading Harry P and I too am on Half blood prince which is my favorite. I'm currently reading Strange the Dreamer which is one of my anticipated book of the year. Let's hope it doesn't suck!

[@annbutnotanne]

I'm actually planning on not having any reading goals this year. I mean, last year I read about 204 books (including manga & comic books) so this year I'm just gonna read when I want to read, instead of feeling guilty when I don't read at all.

[@mariaecaterinaganea6869]

Can't wait for the Harry Potter video. And, by the way, I know somebody who did the Harry Potter movie marathon(20 hours+bathroom breaks) and went to work the next day. So, it's doable.

[@margotwood]

OMG HOW. I WOULD DIE OF EXHAUSTION.

[@prachi1869]

Love your video. and love the fact that you dont tell thr synopsis, almost revealing the whole story... i was looking for you soooo long

[@priyabooks2254]

I read 129 books in 2016! In January I read 9!

[@charlesgates9786]

Magic Rainbow Bookcase Novels or children's books? lol

[@rachelmcsweeney1447]

Magic Rainbow Bookcase What kind of books?

[@margotwood]

DAMN. I'm impressed.

[@priyabooks2254]

Charles Gates all of them were ya

[@priyabooks2254]

Margot Wood thank you!!!

[@jasminvalerie]

Margot you should order the UK edition of Caraval because there are four, (count them 4), different under the dust jacket designs, and each one is so gorgeous! I ordered mine from Book Depository so now I'm just waiting for it to arrive

[@margotwood]

Ugh I just looked them up and THEY ARE AMAZING. I NEED THEM.

[@ayoits_elyssa]

OMG I'M FREAKING OUT ABOUT KING'S CAGE NOW!! AHHH!!! WHY DO YOU DO THESE THINGS TO ME?!

[@katiecowie2803]

Looking forward to ..... ALL OF THEM!!!!! Love you (and your book hauls) Margot! Currently reading London by Edward Rutherfurd AND Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo! Xx

[@margotwood]

Thanks Katie!!!!!! All the love right back at ya!

[@LilyMeadeBooks]

My most anticipated release this month is THE HATE U GIVE by Angie Thomas! So many good books released this winter!

[@margotwood]

OB-SESSED WITH THAT BOOK.

[@LissyLovesLA]

I somehow read 101 books in 2016 (I don't know how, I don't know when, I don't know where they all came from). I'm trying to read 80 books in 2017 and so far I have read 10, which means I am one book behind... but I have a beautiul Friday night in lined up where I am planning to take care of that :) Watching this video made my wishlist grow by another handful of books... oh it will never end haha.

[@jstanford8807]

I read 114 books last year. I set my goal to 50 this year just like last year. In January I read 10 books, 11 graphic novels, and 5 novellas taking my goodreads goal up to 26 things read so far.

[@luna_midnight8721]

Omg I'm waiting for Kings Cage. I can't wait any longer!!!

[@natashaperry4630]

May i ask what the coloured books with the stripes behind your head are? They are making my eyes very happy 😍

[@margotwood]

I actually have no idea. I film these videos in a conference room at Harper Collins on the adult side so I have no idea what is behind me! I'll look next time!

[@nataliebadley5211]

oh my god i have only watched this video of yours and everything you said is so me. haha i am in love with your videos!!! and i love the red queen series but i haven't finished the second one yet but just seeing the third one made me so happy!!

[@jamieandtheturtles0763]

WAITING FOR KINGS CAGE. February 7th can't come fast enough!!!

[@MockingjaySea]

I just finished The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkein and I'm currently reading A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir. I never really make reading goals, I just try to read as much as I can through the year! 😊 Hope that you are having a wonderful day!

[@nanettemccall8618]

Thank you for your videos!!!! OMG I instantly inhale deeply whenever I walk into Barnes and I just spit out what I was drinking when you sniffed Caraval! Lolololo. Love it!!!! My vote is for Wish Granter! Yum! Oh and I am in the middle of Wayfarer and Lorelei Gilmore's new book!!!!!!!!!

[@ellawalters2342]

And how did you get kings cage???? I have been waiting for like 3 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cazv8046]

I have read no books in 2017 because I have been in such a reading slump after reading A Court of Mist and Fury. I don't know why but I just can't read anymore books after that one.

[@aquiandrea1058]

"I don't want to hurt the books" 💞💞 i love you already

[@anglelex]

I'm currently reading Carve The Mark and I absolutely love it! Also can't wait to read King's Cage.

[@delanieparis8359]

Just a shadow.....................

[@philyg8082]

You should definetly start with the A Song of Ice and Fire series.

[@phatcurvypinay]

Phily G im on it!

[@philyg8082]

Diana Ragub That's great news. How are you liking it so far??

[@phatcurvypinay]

Phily G ohh, there is a reason why people are obsessed with the show. because the writing to begin with is brilliant. You know how some books start out so slow then quickly recovers as you are 200 or so pages into it? well, this one had action in it in the first five. the first time I read Game of Thrones, I nearly passed my train stop. Last week, I was into Clash of Kings, a random passenger had to tap my shoulders to tell me it was the last stop before heading off somewhere where I will definitely be lost. that is how good it is!

[@philyg8082]

Diana Ragub Listen, I can agree with you that the books are great. From *A* Game of Thrones to Dance of Dragons it's a thrill ride. But the tv show is honestly the worst thing I have ever seen. And not just bc of the books. It's also very bad on its own.

[@savannahsousa9906]

Always love your book hauls!!!! I read 75 books in 2016! I'm so excited for Forever and always, Lara Jean by Jenny Han!!!!

[@jalanezarges3289]

Do u know about the 2nd Trials of Apollo book coming out on the second of May?I'm bubbling with excitement...I can't wait!!!😍😍😍

[@siyak.1818]

I'm pretty sure glass sword also has both bloods on the cover

[@jasminedavis-taylor9828]

KING'S CAGE!!!! I cannot wait for this book!! I also just ordered By Your Side.

[@booklover466]

my pre-order for By Your Side just came!!! I am so excited to read it

[@TheDragonQueensLair]

I'm actually doing pretty decently so far this year. also wish granter sounds amazing

[@jacquerablack]

Am re-reading the first book in the Earth Children series by Jean M Auel, the Clan of the Cave Bear... Read 60 books last year, want to read 100 this year, have read 12 so far this year...

[@thenytimesbestseller]

OMIGOD, how I have missed the horsehead dancing! The Love Letters of Abelard and Lily doesn't come out until December, so I'll just be pining over that cover until then! P.S. Abelard kinda reminded me of Junot Diaz's The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, so maybe that adds to my wanting to read it.
