I love the new game! It is sad that you retired the doubles rule but with this new layout it makes sense. I love my shrine though. I hope you love all the books!

[@libraryunbounded]

Amandaaaa! ❤️❤️❤️ Indeed, had to give them a rest. But i will always remember how much more fun you helped make the first game! ✨

[@AmandasBooktopia]

@@libraryunbounded It was a blast!

[@annbechtel7113]

You have the absolute BEST TBR games, I will certainly continue my enjoyment in watching your videos.

[@libraryunbounded]

Oh, thank you so much, Ann! This truly makes me so happy to read! 💖

[@TheBluehollywood]

Your tbr game is so much fun and really creative 🤩🤩, I love watching this every month. Your content is always so well done and I can't wait for each new video 🥰🥰. Thank you for making printable and digital versions of your game, it's amazing how you do that and so wonderful that you make it freely available for everyone.

[@emmabrown7009]

This is my new favourite TBR game. Thanks for sharing the printables, l loved your video and I am looking forward to playing the game myself.

[@kellycolby222]

I've been anxiously awaiting this video since last month's reveal. And it does not disappoint. Your TBR games are my favorite.

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much, Kelly! 💖 Knowing that you have been awaiting this video makes this so much more worth it! 🌸

[@sirmanguy]

The shrine to Amanda is amazing 🤣🤣🤣. Love this new game!

[@libraryunbounded]

Well, Amanda was such a big part of making the first game chaotic and, therefore, fun I couldn't possibly not honor her 😂 Thank you, Michael! ✨

[@BooksBeautyKendra]

Such a fun looking game! Absolutely loving the LOTR theme!

[@ABookForest]

Nice! I was afraid for a moment you stopped playing the game. I think yours is the best TBR game. Love it!

[@thenomadicteacher6946]

So creative and fun! I love watching your TBR videos.

[@agob187]

This game is so badass I love it! Also your eyes are such a gorgeous colour - I think the beautiful colours in the background really bring them out!!

[@avsambart]

The character illustrations are GORGEOUS.

[@emilyelizabethbooklover]

Your games are always so well thought out, beautiful and fun! Absolutely love watching these videos! Great game and good luck this month! 😊

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much, Emily! I am so happy you enjoy my nonsense! ❤️ Have a beautiful month too!

[@BooksToAshes]

Omg the new board and cards are beautiful! ♥️ and of COURSE you landed on quicksand, what an introduction to the game 😂

[@debbiethomas2087]

[@gabbylikestoread]

Your creativity really inspires me! What a great game!

[@starlasell5698]

How exciting and fun!!! I love the new game! ❤📚❤️

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much, Starla! ❤️ So very happy to hear that! ✨

[@BasicallyNeda]

You are so creative. ☺ This TBR game shows your passion for The Lord of The Rings series and how much detailed work you have put into it. I love watching your TBRs not just to see what you are reading for the month, but to see you play the game.😊

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much for the kind words, Neda ! ❤️❤️❤️

[@egem.]

love the new look! so excited for the future me to try it😍 so excited for ur tbr also. hope u ll have new faves!

Had to do it, she was such a big part of my suffer... I mean enjoyment 😂

[@PiratePandaX]

This is so creative! I'm excited for this sequel!

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@MelissaZaffiroKronosBooks]

I'm speechless, this game is mindblowing! Love it 🤩🤩🤩

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much for the kind words, Melissa! 💖

[@Curious-Cat]

Oooh His Dark Materials is a childhood favorite of mine! So glad you're picking it up this month :) This is so advanced and beautiful! Honestly, how do you not have dozens of thousands of subscribers already? The production of your videos is on another level - it all looks so professional! - and your content is a lot of fun. You're killing it!

[@libraryunbounded]

You know, I am one of the few people who actually liked the Golden Compass movie (lame, I know 😅), and ever since (which was a 1000 years ago at this point) I've wanted to read the series. And I was a bit worried that I might not like it at this stage of my life but in all honesty, I don't think I would've appreciated it as much as a child. 😊 You are so kind, Cat! ❤️ Thank you for the lovely words! I am improving but I really ramble too much for most peoples' taste, I think 😅

[@Curious-Cat]

@@libraryunbounded Ahah, it's totally ok to like the film, good for you! 😊I know I've seen it, but don't remember it at all or what I thought. You look great for a +1000-year-old 🤣 yes, it definitely hits differently as an adult. I don't think I realised how dark it actually was reading it as a kid. But that's also what makes those books so great: they still work at different ages! I love your "rambling", don't change a thing! 💛

[@lauragfg]

Love the new game!!! ❤ I will miss Amanda nonetheless 😂

[@toniweller6008]

Love the tbr games!❤

[@tibbarasden]

Yay, I love the new game. All the components are fantastic and so fun.

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you, Whitney! 💖🌸

[@user-ul5bo2yb8k]

Wow this is amazing, I’m so impressed! I had so much fun watching this 😁

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you, Joyce! Thank you so much! I am beaming over here! 💖

[@dolphin1273]

This looks great! You did a great job of describing it. You are so creative!

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much! I'm really happy it came across clear, I'm always worried 😅💖

[@falanbarnett4189]

Love the new game!

[@pathofautumnleaves]

OMG this is awesome 😻🧡!! It's so intriguing, creative and fun to watch! I'm enthusiastic for this new chapter in your Lord of the Reads game: great job, really! Happy reading🧡📚

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so so much for these kind words, Sylvie! Your comment made me so very happy! ❤️

[@inkyfairydesigns]

You are so creative!!! I am loving the new TBR game. I have yet to play a game to set up a TBR for the month but I am super tempted! The fact that you share it for free is also incredibly generous...I'm sure people would absolutely pay for it if you chose to do so but I'm grateful you just. make it available. The work you've put into it is very obvious. What is your day job?! LOL Do you design games?

[@libraryunbounded]

Oh, thank you so much, Carisa! 💖 And please give it a try! It's so much fun! I never used to set up a TBR and was a notorious mood reader but that made sure I always read the same books. With this, I sometimes surprise myself with the books I choose. Well, I am a team manager in a tech company 😅 You know, I'm not opposed to making money of something like this, especially given how many hours went into its making. However, I don't own the game license for LOTR, so selling it would be illegal. But I do love the IP and I want to share this with people. As long as they are enjoying it, I am happy 😊✨

[@BriMiKie]

Wow, you have amazing ideas! I love this.

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you, Bridgett! ❤️

[@PaperBec]

I just love your creativity and calm energy - you're becoming one of my favourite youtubers to watch😊 have a great reading month!!

[@libraryunbounded]

You know, to hear that I have "calm energy" was, kind of surprisingly, an extraordinarily pleasant thing. Thank you so much! You made me so happy! 💖 Have a fantastic month yourself! 🌸

[@StarLitLibrary]

this was such a fun new version!!! i would love to try to play this as well sometime. hope you have an amazing month 💚

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much! Please give it a try, I'd be so happy if you did! 💖 Have a fantastic month as well! 🌸

[@shaykininmybooks]

I LOVE this!! The game looks so good and fun!

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much! 💖

[@denipeneva]

I love the new game so much! SO SO COOL! За съжаление поради лични проблеми нямах възможност да гледам видеата ти през последните месеци. Много е готино след толкова време да попадна директно на толкова интересно видео! Как ти хрумват толкова креативни идеи? Много е вдъхновяващо! Между другото изглеждаш прекрасно! Този цвят супер много ти ходи! Изобщо голямо удоволствие е да те видя и чуя след толкова месеци! Поздрави и приятно четене през юли :) Пък аз ще наваксвам лека полека с видеата :)

[@libraryunbounded]

Здравей, Дени!!! Радвам се да те видя отново! ❤️❤️❤️ Много ти благодаря за прекрасните думи! Малко се вкарах в ред наистина, че се бях отпуснала жестоко през последната година 😅 Много съжалявам да чуя за проблемите, надявам се, че си добре. Ако мога с нещо да съм полезна, пиши един имейл и ще си покудкудякаме (това определено не е дума). 🌸

[@yolandavandermerwe5907]

This game sounds like so much fun

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you, Yolanda! 💖

[@covergirlbooks]

Let’s gooooooo 🎨 have you ever made a video about what goes into building your tbr game? You’re so creative!

[@libraryunbounded]

Hahah thank you, Beth! ❤️ I haven't thought of it, to be honest. But it could be fun. It's basically a single stupid idea that comes in the shower and then whole lot of trial and error 😂

[@notnecessarilyinthatorder6048]

I love this version that you came up with! Different enough but just as exciting. Your ultimate goal in the last one was to collect all the characters. Do you have one in mind for this game? Also, I was going to say you could call the quicksand tiles "Dead Marsh" or something like that but then I saw you had quicksand written on your prompt cards and stuff so feel free to ignore that suggestion!

[@libraryunbounded]

Well, the idea here is to go through all the collections. Once that's done, I have an idea for the future ;) Oh, I love the Dead Marshes idea! Why didn't I think of it??! I'll edit the files tonight! Thank you so much! ❤️

[@writtenbyash]

Oh, this is so much fun! Love the new prompt cards, the visuals and descriptions. And the card collection aspect is a nice addition as well; that makes it even more dynamic. Here's to a magical, adventurous July!🗡🛡📚

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much, Ash! So happy you liked it! 💖

[@thefairylibrarian3282]

The amount of thought and effort and creativity you put into this 😮😮. This might be my new favorite TBR game on YT. And i just got the first book in the Enigma Force series from the library, so i guess i'll be reading that this month

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much, Kaat! I am so happy you liked it! ❤️ I just watched your TBR game and it's sooo cute! I love it! ✨💖

Thank you so much, Isirla! 🌸 Is this your real name? (Sorry for asking, it's just so unique and pretty!)

[@isirlasplace91]

@@libraryunboundedThank you!! It's not my first name, but actually the 1st 2 letters of my full name🫶

[@aBowStar]

This looks so stunning! 🤩 I admire all the work you put into this - specially the descriptions with the new prompt cards 🥰 Also, thumbs up for setting not only the reading but also the buying goals - what a nice way to allow yourself new additions as a reward but still having a limit to those 👌 What is your favorite new part of the game? I'm curious what you say about the Kristoff's sequel. Wish you a great month ☀☀☀

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much, Misa! It did take quite a bit of time but it was so much fun to make! 😊 Well, I think the prompt cards themselves are my favorite because they are the most related to Middle Earth in general. And because, even though I made them, I still like the element of surprise as to what I'm going to get. 🃏 Also, completing collections is just so satisfying, for some reason. I started reading Empire of the Damned yesterday, just one chapter, and so far... very graphic smeksy times. 😅 Otherwise, I love the character summaries he provided in the beginning because I had forgotten EVERYTHING from book one. I'm even considering rereading it.... Thank you and have a great reading (and in general) month yourself! 💖

[@VerenaMaxwald]

OMG the new game is sooo good :O it's so well thought out :)

[@libraryunbounded]

The best TBR Game on the Tube just got better! I think you've really refined it into something pretty great. I can already see how the quicksand can become a problem. Loved this first play through and looking forward to it in the months to come. Thanks for all your time and effort to make it available to us to play!

Ohhh it's so cool! The board looks awesome, the work you put into it! Can't wait to try it next month. And honestly kinda jelous of your tbr because mine is like a meter thick this month xd

[@libraryunbounded]

Honorata! I am so happy to see you! 💖 Ah, you know, if you have too many books on the TBR, read only the ones you are excited about. I officially request it of you, in my role of game master! 😉 The rest of them can wait for a better time. I do hope you have a fantastic reading month! ❤️

[@honorata3423]

​@@libraryunbounded I printed everything out, laminated it even, forced my fiance to 3d print mi the d10 an d12 dice and I am ready to play haha just need to cut everything out 😂😂 I scraped the tbr completely, and can't wait to see what the new one is going to be haha

[@read-a-long]

Was nervous about this version given how much I love the first version. Worry I need not be, cause wow this version is just as fun to watch and just as creative. Love the cards and quotes and character abilities.

I'm so happy to hear that!

Well this is even better than the last game and I was excited every month you posted a video :D... btw can I buy books whenever you collect enough points? 🤣

Thank you so so much! ❤️ Hahahaha please feel free to buy the books. We are a team here, our wins are shared! (This genuinely made me laugh, thank you for that!)

[@megansmiley9540]

Blood Meridian is a tough read. I started it last year but never finished. I may try to read it again sometime in the future.

[@libraryunbounded]

It's a bit strange to be sure. But I am intrigued :)

[@justynajusty]

This is awesome!! 💚💚 I would buy both games. This is fantastic. I'm just curious... What inspired this version of the game? Very beautiful and awesome.

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much, Justyna! You are so kind! ❤️ Well, I wanted to make a new version for when I gather the fellowship ever since I made the first game. And I knew I wanted it to be called The Two Libraries (since I was already going for a word-play thing). Then I looked through the main boardgame mechanics and I've always liked the "reach a location" ones the best. So I went with it. And the design itself - frankly, I just go with the flow when it comes to it. I made so many other version before this one, you won't believe 😅 I loved the color scheme first, then the isometric style, then the idea of an "island on land", and then little by little things came together. I am so happy you liked it! 💖

[@justynajusty]

@libraryunbounded that's amazing! You did a beautiful job. Thank you so much for sharing the game too. 💚💚
