huge book haul! 20+ books 📖⭐️

[@MangoBells]

Get a library card if you want to slow down on the spending but keep reading! Such a moneysaver and all libraries have audiobooks and ebooks now too these days. Also loooove anything Mhairi McFarlane, I always fall deep into those books so enjoy!! "You Belong with Me" is a sequel to Who's That Girl? So I'd potentially recommend reading that first although it's not 100% necessary

[@tazmingetgood280]

I got a libary card recently and already gone through like 15 books using it! And they also do e-books, audio books ansmd even video games

[@scrivspo]

omg absolutely! i'm such a fan of the library, unfortunately i really love owning books too 😭 it's the one bad thing i let myself have hahaha

[@nicoolfielder]

@@scrivspo I really love the content you produce about your own book collection, like selecting your TBR for the month! And I appreciate that you do actually read a lot of the books you buy. ALSO I LOVE MHAIRI MCFARLANE OMG; you are in for a treat!!!!! "Just Last Night" was soooo good. It had an incredible amount of depth. I first heard about her from Leena Norms on KZbin -- McFarlane is her *favorite* author. I might pick up McFarlane's new releases too!

[@scrivspo]

@@nicoolfielder ahhh this makes me so excited!!!

Gotta tell you, I hated a Fate Inked in Blood - just could not jive with the FMC, and didn’t love the MMC either. I preferred her Bridge Kingdom Series if you want to try another Danielle Jensen book. Norse mythology was fun tho. If you like Norse mythology & you want to get into more plot focused fantasy - I’d read Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne. A few other fantasy with essentially no romance are The Tainted Cup and Scythe. The Tainted Cup is a really unique murder mystery in a fantasy setting - really interesting read, and Scythe is technically YA, but don’t let that stop you - it was such an interesting introspective look into death, and how it shapes us.

[@scrivspo]

omg tainted cup sounds so so good, added to my list immediately. thank you!

[@HudReads]

@@scrivspobridge kingdom duology (ignore the rest in the series) are fantastic!

[@BatshevaDueck.]

also if you like funny Swedish old man books, I also recommend 'The hundred year old man who climbed out the window and disappeared". one of my fave books

[@scrivspo]

omgggg adding to my list immediately

[@Consttantta]

Oh, have you seen this movie? very unusual and funny omg

[@Adrienne557]

The Thursday Murder Club series are amazing! and it's going to be a Netflix series staring Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan so it's a good time to read before the series comes out. I can also highly recommend the audio version too!

[@scrivspo]

omg i am genuinely so excited to read it!!!

[@meganw2564]

The last one low key had me crying 😭 these books are so fantastic

[@kcnbt99]

Babes, they're unfinished but I think you'd love Lies of Locke Lamora and Name of the Wind series. I don't think they'll ever end but they're so freaking good that I think you'll love it. Also, Mistborn is so good. The first book is perfect, the second book is only ok but the finale is the best that's ever happened

[@scrivspo]

Omgggg thank you for the recs!!!

[@ellakelly612]

Came here to recommend Brandon Sanderson 🫣

[@lucyservo6574]

I recommend The borrowed life of Frederick fife, it's about a man in his 80s and is very heart warming. He's almost homeless then accidentally steals the identity of another old man living in a nursing home so his housing problem is solved, but it's not that simple.... Oh my gosh I LOVED this book.

[@scrivspo]

oh my god this sounds like my PERFECT book. i'm going to try read it next month!

[@pineapplepolis_8058]

You should do a Goodreads chooses my books video (since they have recommendations) and you could discuss how accurate it is or if they just do popular book recs!

[@scrivspo]

Omg I love this idea!!!

[@SamanthasBooks]

I just got Throne of the Fallen as well and I can't wait to read it!!

[@scrivspo]

it's on my october tbr so let's read it together!!!

[@SamanthasBooks]

@@scrivspo sounds like a plan 😊

[@Audiobook876]

If you are a fan of audio podcasts, follow me, as I translate all videos into most of the world's languages ​​❤️

[@MarijeOskam]

if you want to watch Shadow and Bone you also need to read Shadow and Bone as well as Six of Crows, the show focuses way more on its namesake than on Six of Crows 😅

[@scrivspo]

Noooooo hahaha I can’t do another series 😭😭😭 (but watch me do it anyway)

[@MarijeOskam]

@@scrivspo hahhaha i am so sorry to be the bearer of bad news 🥺

[@emilylouisebush]

For fantasy I would definitely recommend The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon! It's a hefty book but so well written I flew through it. I also just finished Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko which was amazing as well.

[@scrivspo]

Ahhh thank you!!!

[@Lolokoko22]

Yess girl was just looking for a bookish video to watch 🫶🏼🙌🏼

[@Lolokoko22]

Loved it :) excited to hear your toughts on them

[@scrivspo]

aww yay i'm so glad you enjoyed!!!

[@amyhowe4640]

For fantasy, I would recommend Patricia A McKillip. So far I've read The Riddle Master trilogy and The Forgotten Beast of Eld. I'm collecting all of her works and plan to read everything she's written if possible.

[@scrivspo]

ahh thank you so much!!!

[@awlbiste]

If you like fantasy and comedy, have you read Terry Pratchett? Discworld can feel a little overwhelming (there are 41 books!) but you don't have to read them all or even all in order. You can find guides on where to start, lots of people have different opinions, I like the Watch series which starts with Guards! Guards!.

[@scrivspo]

omg i haven't - thank you for the rec!!!

[@elaynejuten9084]

Love this!! Just picked up a bunch of new reads at my local bookstore this weekend too! If you haven’t read it already, I think you may like The Ministry of Time. It’s part thriller, magical realism, time travel, romance…ish. It wasn’t my favorite book of all time but I still think about it and the themes after reading it a couple months ago.

[@scrivspo]

i saw haley pham talk about that book! I'm definitely interested to give it a go, thank you for the rec!!

[@imo9193]

I'm so excited to hear what you think of The Hobbit! I've not read it but I really want to read it + LOTR!

[@scrivspo]

I’m so so excited!!

[@lucycanread]

crazy that you pronounce mhairi's name correctly because i went around saying "mah-vee" for about 2 weeks thinking i was doing something

[@scrivspo]

hahahaha

[@MaryMadisonMac]

There's a book my mom and I love for around Christmas. It's called The Kingdom of Sweets by Erika Johansen and it's sort of inspired by the nutcracker story but introduces more magic and fantasy elements!

[@scrivspo]

omg this is so cute! adding to my tbr!

[@nessaarandur7740]

For fantasy with unconventional romance, try The Fire's Stone by Tanya Huff. :)

[@scrivspo]

Thank you!!!

[@frkinfo]

Outstanding ❤❤❤ super 😍😍😊❤ fantastic 😍❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

[@ysabellahm]

Girl please read The Nightingale, it will brake you but it’s such a before and after in life

[@scrivspo]

it's on my october tbr!!!

[@lucycanread]

also not you saying "christmas is getting close" in this video and then getting angry at Big W for having christmas stuff x

[@scrivspo]

HAHAHAHA I am a walking contradiction 🩷

[@katerinakittis7287]

Hey gal 👋 you may enjoy the Wheel of Time series as that is high fantasy - it's hefty but so good ❤😊

[@scrivspo]

Omg thank youuuu

[@stephenmodicabookgiveway]

I just thrifted 218 books and spent 25 for my book giveway at work

[@scrivspo]

Omg love this

[@stephenmodicabookgiveway]

@@scrivspo thank u do much

[@romywolfofficial]

I adore fantasy but I'm meh on romantasy, so have a few recs: "A Darker Shade of Magic"-series by V.E. Schwab, "The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi" by Shamnon Chakraborty, "The Jasmine Throne" by Tasha Suri and more folktale-ish than truly high fantasy but "Emily Wikde's Encyclopedia of Fairies" by Hesther Fawvett is absolutely delightful :)

[@scrivspo]

You are a legend!!! Thank you!

[@romywolfofficial]

@@scrivspo You're very welcome! :)

[@romywolfofficial]

@@scrivspo I just realised I have typos in half of these things but you should find them with google regardless XD

[@heatburg]

Have you read One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston? I feel like it has kind of Ashley Poston vibes. Also Life After Life by Kate Atkinson for a bit more of a literary/fantasy/historical fiction book (and one of my favorites in general).

[@scrivspo]

i haven't!!! i'll add these to my tbr, thank you!

[@evepimlott7719]

Thursday Murder Club is SO popular here in the UK, the books are so funny and easy to read. I couldn’t believe it when I found out they weren’t so well-known everywhere else, as every release goes straight to number 1 on the charts here!!

[@scrivspo]

These comments have got me so excited to read it 😭😭

[@poppycalliope]

Recently read six of crows and loved it! 5 🌟! Great haul ❤️‍🔥

[@scrivspo]

It’s on my October tbr!!! I’m so keen

[@cyrathur6189]

I just read „dallergut dream departement store“ its such a cute and also short book to read inbetween all our thick books! Its about a warehouse in which you can go and buy a dream. Lovely written and really got me thinking how dreaming works. We have quite a similar taste in Books so i thought mabye you will like it as well 😊 greetings from switzerland 🫶🏻

[@scrivspo]

Omg that is such an amazing concept for a book! I’ll add it to my tbr thank you!

[@joychalaby]

I would definitely describe The Hobbit as high fantasy - one of the OG classics of the genre, with Tolkien drawing on classic myths and ancient history marvellously. But hobbit (unlike Lord of the Rings) is also more of a children's classic, so not too epic and huge world building like you find in Lord of the Rings. But so cosy and humorous and moving!!! Great idea 😊

[@scrivspo]

I’m so excited ahhhh

[@sabrinat7360]

You belong with me is actually a sequel!! I made the same mistake and was a bit confused reading it, the first one is called ‘Who’s that girl’ - I think I’d have liked it more if I read the first one!

[@scrivspo]

Oh noooooo okay good to know!!

[@lilliwrites]

I think I need to add some fantasy to my fall TBR 👀Song of Silver Flame Like Night sounds sooo good!

[@scrivspo]

It does sound so good doesn’t it!!!
