March Deck of TBR Game || CRAZIEST and LONGEST game I've EVER played

[@nancypickard3456]

Other Words From Home and When Stars Are Scattered are fabulous books!

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

I can't wait to read them!

[@kerisbookishcorner2864]

Omg this was hysterical how many times same card or same suit came up!!! 😂 And the first appearance of the joker too in the same round as add a joker 😮 😬

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

It was a crazy round!

[@elisabethsandgren5278]

Uff da! That was tough! Congratulations on 1,000 subscribers!!! I’ve got so many adult novels on my list, I’m gonna keep reading those 😊

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

It was tough, but so fun! Thank you 😊

[@katiemarsh4970]

When Stars Are Scattered made me cry so hard 🥹 you’ll love it!!!!

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

I did love it!!

[@sproutygamerreads7947]

Whew! You got this! I love Katherine Applegate as well. Crenshaw is one of my favorites. I will be participating in middlegrade march. I probably will do what you did and draw my deck looking for middle grade.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Let me know what you end up reading! I've got a few other Katherine Applegate books from the library just in case I read more than this TBR 😂

[@toniweller6008]

Brown Girl Dreaming is another good middle grade memoir. 😃📚💛

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

I have Brown Girl Dreaming on my pile of books to choose from if I finish my tbr! And yes, I realized toward the end of the video that Aristotle and Dante is YA, so I didn't include it in any MGM picks!

[@toniweller6008]

​@@BekahBooksandBujo I just saw that. I'm still watching the fun! 😃🤯💚

I found this video random and I loved it! can't wait to see the wrap up. little house on the prairie is my favorite series. (the third book farmer boy is about her husband which could be why your book has the 1st, 2nd and 4th.)

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Glad you found it! I'm excited to get to the Little House treasury - and thank you for that explanation! Makes sense :)

[@astarreads4214]

Congratulations on 1000 subscribers 🎉

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Thanks, Amy!

[@Amyduckie]

If you get a chance to read Nevermoor, you definitely should. It’s incredible. I put Other Words for Home straight on my to-buy list; based on the first line alone. 🥰

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

I'm going to try to still read it this month!!

[@djwaters7565]

This was so much fun to watch! I am definitely joining in MGM!

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Great to hear! Will you read books for the prompts or just read whatever strikes your fancy?

[@Jennikreads]

hahaha the game took you at your word and brought the chaos!

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Sure did! But I loved every minute of it! 😂

[@jamieserrano827]

I don’t read much middle grade at all not for children anyway, but she kingfisher cozy, horror and fantasy and TJ Klune, cozy fantasy, as well as something like legends and lattes, is more my cup of tea. Even cozy mysteries are my thing as well.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

That's great! We all enjoy different things - that's why the reading community is so cool. We understand that we all read differently but can still talk about books regardless!

[@jamieserrano827]

@@BekahBooksandBujo 100% everybody’s different and everybody likes what they like

[@kaileipalmeroni5483]

My husband started the land of stories series with our oldest son and its pretty good. They've gotten through the third or fourth.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

That’s great to hear!

[@naomisbookshelf]

There is speculation about where Farmer Boy falls in the Little House series as it follows Almanzo and not Laura. It is typically placed in the third spot so that could be the reason for the confusion.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Ah! Makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up, Naomi!

[@jilltatro9324]

what a fun game and it looks like you have LOTS of fun reads for MGM

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

I’m so excited!

[@ladyking119]

That was a crazy tbr game this time around. The books should be easy to read, so you should be able to get to a lot of them. I haven't read any of those books, but I do have Odder coming from the library to read.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

It was super crazy - but I loved every minute of playing. I just want March to start already! Let me know what you think of Odder when you get it :)

[@jamieserrano827]

I guess Adam Green Gables, a Little Princess, the secret garden, Wizard of Oz, and Alice in wonderland would qualify as middle grade classics to me

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Totally true! I should have thought of Ann of Green Gables, because I've never read it!

[@jamieserrano827]

@@BekahBooksandBujo well, the year is still young. You have plenty of time.

[@akshitaviswanathan]

can't wait for you to read keeper of the lost cities! one of my favorite books of all time!

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

I'm really looking forward to it!! I know many people have it as a favorite series.

[@tracywinters9629]

A couple more prompts for you one is pick a book that has a prologue and a book between 600-800pages and a specific genre.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Thanks for the ideas! Woof - a book between 600-800 is a LOT for me! I'll definitely add the prologue one to my list of prompts!

[@tibbarasden]

Love the craziness! Luckily, middle grades tend to be quick reads. I definitely consider Little House on the Prairie a classic. Odder looks so cute, I want to pick it up at some point. Yay for Spy Family. I am reading Death Note, but I just hauled the first two volumes of Spy Family, so I might try to sneak them in as well.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Can't wait for March to start!

[@astarreads4214]

I loved Other Words for Home ❤

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

I’m so excited for it!!

[@Books_crafts_and_Planning]

I just love watching your Deck of TBR videos. I laughed a few times, when you kept getting the same cards and had to add draws. And it seemed like the Deck was mocking you a few times lmao

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Thanks, Serenity! Yes, the deck was totally working against me (or for me?) this round.

[@Battesbooksandhooks]

I did not realize you were in Minnesota. I am in Buffalo MN

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Nice! My husband student taught there once upon a time!

[@phague85]

I loved The War I Finally Won!!

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Oh good! I can't wait to read it :)

[@phague85]

@@BekahBooksandBujo looking forward to hearing what you think of it.

[@LifeBetweenWords1]

PAUSING: I haven’t finished the video, or even watched you research! But two AMAZING middle grade memoirs: Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson, and Everything Sad is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri. Okay UNPAUSE! This is so fun.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Thanks, Katie!! I unofficially have Brown Girl Dreaming on my TBR because I realized later it was a memoir! I will have to check out the other one.

[@Aimzthereader]

Wow so many but it’s ok because it’s middle grade March! I’m also participating

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Great! What books are you hoping to read?

[@Aimzthereader]

@@BekahBooksandBujo Amari and the great game, Wishtree, Tristan strong punches a hole in the sky, Rover story , Planet Earth is Blue, On air with Zoe Washington, and any of Kelly Yang books I haven’t read yet.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

@@Aimzthereader I’ve read the first two and loved them both! I hope the rest are great as well!

[@WestAussieDiamondArtReads]

When stars are scattered is a really good book.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

I'm really looking forward to it!!

[@megs8801]

I hope you're able to read Nevermoor soon!!☺ It's one of my favourite Middle Grade books! I think you'll love it!

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

I’m hoping I can still read it in March!! 🤞🏼

[@samreadsbooks_13]

What a crazy game! Maybe you should play the lottery because you were besting all the odds

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Hahah - I'll go buy a ticket now! 😂

[@Aimzthereader]

Loved when stars are scattered. Highly recommend you get that as a physical book if you can. The artwork is beautiful.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

I already got a physical copy from my library! :)

[@jaynehunter-ar]

Girl, that was wild! Can't wait to hear your wrap up of all of these fun titles.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

It was crazy, but oh so fun! I just want March to start already!

[@astarreads4214]

Hahaha That deck of cards is cursed.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

I hope it won’t be for next month…

[@rowenapotter895]

So my follow along TBR from February did not do well. I blame Hogwarts Legacy!! Anywho, my choices were Final Offer by Lauren Asher (400 pages), Maame by Jessica George (BOTM), same poll pick, The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas (Library pick), and Twisted Games by Ana Huang (Person on cover, since I choose the sexy cover). I DNfd Spanish Love Deception and Maame. I'm almost done with the audio of the poll pick and I have started Twisted Games. This month, March, is going to crazy and I'm not doing the added middle grade challenge!!! Good luck!!!

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

My husband is playing that game like crazy too! Hahaha. Good luck with March… 🤪

[@andiecurlybooks]

I just read Odder this month and it was so cute and lovely and poignant😢❤

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

I can't wait!!

[@postitsandpens]

For reference, Aristotle and Dante is most definitely YA, LOL, and it's actually set in the 80s. I personally wouldn't have classified it as contemporary, but obviously ymmv. And clearly the game was thinking "be careful what you wish for" this month, LOL, because boy did it deliver! I hope you enjoy all of your reads!

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Yes, I realize this later on in the video!! It was a crazy game.

[@mollyalladin2431]

That was crazy! I am participating IN MGM and will post my TBR on insta. I am sure I will see you in the discussions! Have fun reading! 😉

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

I will look for your Insta post - can't wait to see what you're reading!

[@beccacarrillo]

I've never heard of "middle grade" as a type of book designation. This isn't the same as YA? What is it about this designation that would make these books appeal to an adult reader? Thanks for your input.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

It is different than YA actually. Middle grade is specifically for ages 8-12, I believe. I often find that MG books have great themes not only for younger readers, but adults too. I enjoy them but I know for some they are considered juvenile.

[@beccacarrillo]

@@BekahBooksandBujo If there's something called "Middle Grade March", they must be appealing to quite a few people. :) Enjoy!

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

@@beccacarrillo Definitely!

Ooooh another good one. That might be tricky though because I usually film when he's asleep! (And he likes to sleep in just a pull-up 😂)
