big unboxing book haul!!! 📚✨

[@meghanwalsh8952]

Books are awesome but new wee totoro in the background is bringing me so much joy

[@serenity8910]

I read A Fate Inked in Blood without knowing much about the plot except for it being inspired by Norse mythology and I had no idea it was romantasy (although very obvious from the 1st chapter)! So it became my first ever romantasy lol, and I did enjoy it. The "villain" is a bit too 2-dimensional and the world-building and description are not great tbh but I liked the romance aspect very much. And the spice was quite something lol. I would recommend but lower your expectations on the fantasy world.

[@greenicedtea8985]

Same, I felt like the world building and fantasy elements were very weak, which sucks since I was looking forward to the Norse mythology. Me personally, I didn’t like the romance too much either since it was very insta-love 😭😭 the characters were so stagnant and undeveloped. Shame, I had high hopes.

[@PeruseProject]

This is honestly making we want to check it out even more!!!

[@serenity8910]

@@greenicedtea8985 Oh, it's for sure insta-love. The attraction was there from the first minute they met! 😂 Definitely not a ground-breaking romance but the story was so fast-paced and entertaining to me lol.

[@DexReact]

@@PeruseProject Do u need a video editor

[@joylynn0620]

I really liked this and felt that the fantastical elements were strong and weren’t overwhelmed by the romantic subplot. My main critique was that I didn’t always like the decisions the main character made. But overall I gave it 4 stars and will read the next installment. I think she will enjoy it because of the romantic tension between the two characters.

[@roxannejoncas]

Lightfall is lovely! So nice how even the cat gets animated properly throughout.

[@Lillyjoy]

Aw I never hear anyone talk about it, I’m so happy you like it too 😊

[@roxannejoncas]

@@Lillyjoy ☺ What do you like most? Have you read the third one yet?

[@netogrof]

I just read the third one. It was mostly set up for book 4 it felt like. Still very good though.

[@roxannejoncas]

@@netogrof It sort of was, yes. But the art 😍

[@Lillyjoy]

@@roxannejoncas I love the art and the characters so much, and the unique nature settings. I’ll be reading the 3rd one soon 😊

[@melodiemeldrum3918]

What a fun haul! I've been meaning to pick up The Book That Wouldn't Burn and you've motivated me to do it! Also I'm really happy to hear that you're exploring older books. I see so many booktubers with shelves full of books (expensive hard-covers, at that!) from just the last 15 years. There is some fabulous stuff out there from "the old days" before 2005 and I really hope you'll find some books to adore!

[@laurenschenck5355]

I love the Murderbot series so much and Martha wells so much love her writing 💜🌻🌞🩵🩵💜💜🌺🌈🌈📙🫶🏻🌺🩷💙💙💘🧡📚📚📖🌼🌹💖❤️💘🩷💙📙🌺🫶🏻🌻🌞🧡💕🌻💜🫶🏻🫶🏻📖📚📚📚🧡💙🩷💘❤️🌺📙🌞🌞💜

[@jlaine1641]

Recommend reading Emily Henry's YA books. "The love that split the world." "A million Junes." and "When the sky fell on Splendor."

[@yashasree1044]

Book Lovers is my favourite Emily Henry book

[@StoryGirl1128]

Great book haul! Thanks for sharing. I have book 1 of the Murderbot series on my shelf and I can’t wait to get to it!

[@meganferguson1291]

The Murderbot series is FANTASTIC! Murderbot is a hilarious POV to read from.

[@brittanysilva08]

You got so many good books in this haul! I thought a fate inked in blood was fun, looking forward to the second book in the duology. And hope have the best time with your Emily Henry summer, I look forward to her new book every year and funny story was particularly fun! Looking forward to reading the ministry of time this summer too. Definitely going to be trying the demon awakens too, it sounds so good.

[@Lillyjoy]

I love Lightfall!! It is such a cute story and I love the art so much

[@lissavanhouten6628]

How Murderbot talks about humans is very funny.

[@mirra.e]

Reading Five Broken Blades and have been enjoying it so much! Hoping for it to be a five star ✨

[@kimbermorrow5502]

I loved Funny Story!

[@Edenbotbyl]

Lightfall is literally sooo good omg💘

[@sheaallyn]

With murder bot I’ve heard you should read book 6 of the short stories before book 5 because 6 takes place before 5! A weird out of chronological order ordeal. Just a piece of advice!

[@hollygreenqueen]

Nice haul! I also just acquired Five Broken Blades recently 😄 such a beautiful book

[@ReadingNymph]

I need to continue with the Murderbot series! I really enjoyed the first one 😊

[@raqveel]

'The ministry of time' has such a big polemic behind it! You should check it out, the recently published book is a copy of the spanish original story that counts with a tv series!

[@PeruseProject]

WHAT!!

[@KiraKiera]

I've read the book and the only thing it shares with the TV show is the translated title and themes of time travel. I'm not sure where the accusations of copying are coming from.

[@orange_tea]

I was wondering why it rang a bell. The idea is somewhat similar, but I think hearing the synopsis, there are differences. Didn't read the book, only watched the tv series tho.

[@jennifer_left_a_comment]

great haul! i absolutely enjoyed funny story. couldn’t put it down. hope you’ll enjoy it, too! you made before we were innocent sound like a perfect summery thriller, so i went and bought the ebook immediately. and i will need to check out the demon awakens.. and i need to get back to murderbot. loved the first book. have a lovely day + happy reading! 💜

[@Mxe00.]

I would recommend you to add Mates by Sobers Rodrigues in your TBR. it's one such crazy love story.

[@hopefully504]

Five Broken Blades is so good!

[@LaurenDearmond]

Funny story was so good! Definitely top tier Emily Henry, but it’s so hard to pick a favorite.

[@chelseyjohnson501]

Shout out to Barnes for making these limited editions so accessible

[@MariaMightReadThat]

I had such a fun time with Fate Inked in Blood! It's a bit predictable but I was rooting for the romance the whole time.

[@laurenschenck5355]

I cried when I read Network Effect, I hope you'll love it as well!

[@jessicav606]

Funny Story is my favorite book of Emily Henry to date!

[@laurenschenck5355]

[@officialxraineedayze]

Before we were innocent was my book club pick a few months ago. I'm intrigued to hear your thoughts regarding it

[@cynthiaspencer7352]

I picked up the murderbot series while I was reading Becky Chambers Wayfarer series and now I’m going through withdrawal and trying to find another AI sci-fi series with amazing characters. I hope you enjoy the rest of murderbot and give Wayfarers a try (I know you read other Becky Chambers books)

[@kiute.c]

Five Broken Blades was a 5⭐️ read for me. I wouldn’t say it’s a romantasy though because romance is def a sub plot imo. The ending was 🔥

[@angelbordner1700]

You should have bought the Barnes and Noble exclusive edition of A Fate Inked in Blood....it has blue sprayed edges

[@crazybiogeek]

I just think it's funny that you both will go to Korea or Japan to get skincare products, but also want them sent to your house. It's peak millennial and I love it. Thanks for the sunscreen PSA. Melanoma is no fun, and it wasn't even my fault because I had strong family history going against me. Also, Murderbot is my favorite character in books ever.

[@Luna-po5ui]

Daphne (from Funny Story) is pronounced daff-nee. Like Daphne Bridgerton

Hi Regan! Curious if you'll be picking up Ruthless Vows (the sequel to Divine Rivals) anytime soon?

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I just read Ministry of time… found it so slowwww until the last little bit

[@readandcoffee]

Try prince of thrones series of Mark Lawrence. Its unlike you have read anything. By the time you will finish this trilogy , you will be rooting for an male lead like Ramsay North of GOT😂

[@BirgitHaeupl]

📚❤️

[@radudumanovschi3387]

I want to read Emily Henry

[@Silverraine1]

Network Effect is no longer a standalone as System Collapse starts right after it stops💕

[@patriciago2049]

10:13 Just a heads up! ‘The Ministry of Time’ blatantly plagiarizes the Spanish TV show ‘El Ministerio del Tiempo’ (both plots are nearly identical, and same title ffs) and there’s even a lawsuit over it. It’s important to support original creators and not endorse works that steal from others. I highly recommend looking into this issue before buying this book, and if the concept sounds interesting you can always pirate the book or just watch the original series instead idk 😊

[@LynnHermione]

11:28 that sounds like they plagiarized a Spanish tv show :/

[@BabyWanderer]

It's kind of sad how no one is talking about the fact that "The ministry of time" is a rip off of a spanish tv series 😢

[@santoshparvatikar]

Given your unboxing style, I'm a little sceptical about handing my things to you.
