THE BEST BOOK HAUL EVER

[@JessicaRoseReads]

Please don't apologise for your giddiness! It's so nice to see others get so passionate about new books and their favourite editions. I was grinning right along with you for the entire video!

[@ebnovels]

Aw, thank you! That makes me feel much better 😅

[@Lilac-and-Gooseberries]

You’re not annoying, you’re sweet and bubbly! I have quite bad social anxiety and depression, some days can be really bad, but your videos always make me smile and happy! You’ve given me loads of great suggestions for books to read and I really appreciate it!

[@ebnovels]

Aw, well I’m happy to hear the latter part. I don’t have anxiety much, but depression can get me too. It’s of course different for everyone, so I won’t try to act like I “know” how yours impacts you, but it’s nice to know there are happy corners online where we can find others to connect with over something as simple as books 🤗

[@amateurm3mer316]

It's so comforting to see someone who is clearly passionate about what they do, not annoying!

[@ebnovels]

Oh good! I’m glad 😄😄😄

[@robpaul7544]

Annoying..? No, giddy you just brightened up a rainy day over here. 😬 We feel ye, we love books too!

[@ebnovels]

Oh good! Haha, where are you at with rain? I’m jealous 😆

[@davids2735]

Note to US publishers: Please Print the cover illustrations directly on the cover from now. They are so much better. Thank you. Bye bye now.

[@LanaFeyah]

Awh, don't apologise for displaying candid emotions on camera, haha! It is so endearing to watch, and I love seeing a true, unmistakable passion and magical spark in someone's eyes as they talk!

[@arcticsprendogs4311]

You shouldn’t apologize for being excited! It’s fun to watch! 😊

[@Grodor]

Hauls are THE reason to be hyper and excited 🤣! I was excited for you 🤗

[@Jana-gz9ho]

This was the heartwarming video I needed this morning. So nice to see you so happy!

[@JoeySegura]

I love how excited you were to show us your new books! Great haul Elliot! 😁👍🏻

[@thefinalreader2392]

Totally get being giddy because same. Also, I met Sanderson two days ago at a convention! He was *so* nice and sweet, both at his talk and the signing. Now I have a signed WOK, Skyward, Mistborn and a picture that make me smile every time I look at them. I learned that I have to take notes for cosmere books though. Some people asked him really cool questions that made me wish I have thought of them😅

[@jannarosereads4805]

This brightened my day, thank you! I love that you are so excited about books. No need to apologize as we love books too! 😊❤✌

Hurray for books! 😄😄😄

I AM SO HAPPY YOU FINALLY GOT THE UK STRANGE THE DREAMER! I literally screamed lol! The Russian Way of Kings is GORGEOUS!!! I'm so happy to be reading it this month with you! And as you know, I'm really excited for you to read The Devouring Gray!

[@lidziaa]

Omg, Russian Sanderson is amazing❤️ great book haul, beautiful books🤩 don't be sorry, im happy of your happiness

[@ma2keep]

Elliot, I love the way you gush about books. So much love just has to be shared with others, and we LOVE books. I mean, we're all watching booktube. Thank you for the very fun video \o/

[@ambulanceartist5]

Mmmm Senlin Ascends. So dang good. Beautifully written.

[@DevanBaird]

Not annoying at all! Im glad you shared some new exciting books!

[@safinan8008]

Great video!! Luv ur book collection. Happy Halloween reading month! 👻🎃

[@christianmagrum3282]

I love that your version of Giddy comes across as mildly excited LOL

[@MegTheMaven]

How you felt about Strange the Dreamer is how i feel about Muse of Nightmares! I so happy you got the editions you wanted. Man it’s something about those UK covers, they often look amazing! Great Haul!

[@jayscheer5529]

Love your energy ! Those are indeed sweet covers. Part of the joy of reading is creating your book shelf. Those kind of finds are awesome!

[@Nasser851000]

I have so many books to read but im fine with that because i love them so much :)

[@ebnovels]

Aw, that’s such a lovely attitude :D

[@flamingopink1213]

You’re so cute! I didn’t think anyone could get as excited about books as I do!

[@AlyssLysie]

I love how excited you were and how you had to calm yourself down. You got beautiful books! That is awesome.

[@harkeerat2971]

the second you mentioned the uk version of strange the dreamer, im pretty sure my jaw hit the floor in .2 milliseconds out of envy. But congrats, that's incredible! I'll continue waiting for a miracle so i can own it someday haha

[@balkisrincon]

Early Christmas for you!!! 😀. You’re great. You deserve all the good things of the world :)

[@v69051]

No need to apologize! I don’t really have people that I know IRL who get excited about books like I do so I’m always happy to see that 🤓

[@ebnovels]

Aw, well yay then! And YOU’RE WELCOME :P Just kidding; thanks for the nice encouragement 💖

[@erickmacgregor]

That...that is just beautiful...I feel so happy for you, very few people understand the feeling of having a rare book that you really wanted for your collection, even when you won't ever read it haha

[@mangalover0149]

Elliot, I am so freaking jealous with the Strange the Dreamer edition. 😭 I want iittt

[@gloriaboakye8980]

Elle! Watching from 2022 knowing how much you ended up loving Fireborne is so funny hahaha

[@haroldniver]

I love seeing someone passionate about books. I get excited too, even though I buy books all the time. I’m an addict. I’d say it’s a problem (it is for my bank account), but I love love love my books so I’m cool with it. I just bought the illustrated edition of Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb and am absolutely over the moon about it!

[@KaterinaDeAnnika]

That's awesome! I'm so glad you had all of this happen at once! Your shelf is about to be poppin even more!!!!

[@ebnovels]

Haha, I know! Especially that WoK. It seriously stands out more than almost any other book from that spine 😆

[@KaterinaDeAnnika]

Elliot Brooks a good book spine is underrated. I think there is so much focus on a bomb ass cover that the spine is left as...just pretty? Just the title? But the color contrast in that art and the lettering format just...*mwah* sings READ MEEEEE 🎶🎶🎶

[@gahlwynfjorn3961]

I’ve watched a lot of your videos but was never subscribed. I’m super picky about who I give out subs to, but I finally subscribed after watching this video!! I feel like you let your personality come out more in this video which was awesome. Don’t be scared to show who you are because you seem like an absolutely lovely and fun person

[@ebnovels]

Haha, well thanks! I feel so honored to make your list 💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️

[@lizardslaw2661]

I get your excitement. I too have a book edition I have given up on ever being able to afford or own. Really want it but prices on it are ridiculously high. It’s the First edition hardback of Outlander. Values really skyrocketed after the tv show. I read the book over 20 yrs ago, wish I had bought that version back then.

[@savitbharadwaj4023]

You should definitely read Senlin Ascends as soon as possible! The prose is excellent! Reading those books made me feel like I'm a really clever intellectual experiencing something magnificent that only a rarefied few could appreciate. When of course that was the genius of the writing!

[@katiewelikanna3588]

Omg you are just too cute, I'm do glad someone else gets excited like that when they get pretty books, I get super excited when when I get my monthly fairyloot

[@planners-books-and-budgets]

I went to a thrift store the other day and got an entire trilogy from Robin Hobb and a Robert Jordan book for $1.87 and none were in bad condition at all

[@callmeaftercoffee]

Aweeeeeee I'm so happy for you! You deserve all this happy goodness! I'm so excited for you! ☺️

[@ebnovels]

Thank you!!! That’s really nice of you to say 💛💛💛

[@Mistbornwings]

Love the energy! Its passion and joy cant be negative about it ^^

[@dalenathai5916]

I'm really excited to hear your thoughts on Senlin Ascends when you get around to reading it! I initially thought the same but found the complexity of the themes and writing style really surprising and thought provoking. After finishing the third book, I can definitely say the series is officially one of my favorites now too and definitely worth reading :)

[@skijumpnose]

That Russian edition is so bada** it knocks the other books off the shelf

[@ebnovels]

Hahaha, right?!?

[@Brendanstop]

I loved The Devouring Gray! Reminded me of Riverdale/the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. If you like those types of aesthetics and moods, you'll love it. Super spooky and dramatic lol

[@thebookbella4764]

I have seen Fireborn everywhere and it seems that a lot of people love it. I love the Russian version of the way of kings, it's amazing! This was a really awesome book haul. 💖💖💖

[@ebnovels]

It was awesome, wasn’t it? 😆 And yeah, I’m glad everyone is loving Fireborne!

[@WhoPickedThisBook]

That edition of The Way of Kings is beautiful! The colors just pop! Gorgeous! Love the new editions of Six of Crows! Out of Print UK editions of books are always soooo expensive!! Looking for hardcover of Nevernight is a joke lol So many beautiful books!! Your giddiness is infectious! Be happy!! ❤️Nicole

[@Law-of-EnTropy]

I heard from Sean the Russian Way of Kings reads you.

[@ebnovels]

Indeed 😄

[@vrajbarot3528]

I personally think the US covers for the way of kings and words of radiance AND oathbringer are better that the UK editions. But that's probably because I'm from the UK... idk. 🙃

[@aleksandragieralt7370]

What a lovely, positive video!! So happy you got the books you wanted ❤ That giddiness is infectious lol keep it up, the world needs it ❤🧡

[@RubenRodriguez-co9jx]

I love that Russian cover for Way of Kings. Do they have the other two books? And also, what books are the three Sanderson books right beside your head on the left (your right hand side)?

[@mafxarr8776]

Do people really hate watch your channel?! Those were some gorgeous books you got there. I don’t mind investing in multiple copies of the same book (if they are sexy enough) but never have I gotten one in a language that I can’t read. Maybe some day when I’m rich enough I won’t feel guilty about splurging 😂 but there are other books I’m currently eyeing. Btw just got the new illustrated edition of Goblet of Fire in the mail yesterday. Had preordered from BookDepository around 8 months ago. So beautiful 😍 So we get your need to gush over new and beautiful books 👍👍 Get your husband to do another comic/manga video

[@ebnovels]

He’s planning on doing a manga video soon! He told me last weekend he wanted to, but he had to prepare himself mentally to record. Perhaps he’ll record this weekend 😆

[@Briancjw]

@@ebnovels I hope he does. Would like to hear his opinions as I read the series that have made it on to shelves behind you. Also be interested what other series he reads.

[@gwennag222]

Ur so funny! I love this!😍😂

[@drewthewriterandreader6788]

Senlin Ascends is the book that got me into reading! I hope you like it. Its alright if you don’t. We all have different tastes.

[@xRubes]

I would kill to somehow rebind the English Way of Kings pages into the Russian hardcovers.

[@oana-mariauliu5828]

I was extremely excited when my latest book purchase arrived. I had very high hopes for these books. Then, as I started reading, I put them aside one by one. I have no idea if I'm not in the right mood for them or if they aren't my cup of tea at all. The first one was Prince of Thorns. I won't say no to a strong dose of grimdark, so I thought I would like it, but it bores me to death. I'll probably end up enjoying some less popular book, who knows. My experience with popular books can be very unpredictable. I love bestsellers such as Harry Potter and A Song of Ice and Fire, but I'm not a fan of Mistborn (I prefer Elantris). I love The Name of the Wind (The Wise Man's Fear only up to a point), but I find other books just as good. Have you read The Dovekeepers, by Alice Hoffman? The Pillars of the Earth (+ sequels), by Ken Follett - outstanding! Under Heaven, by Guy Gavriel Kay - beautiful! I've recently discovered China Mieville - disturbing, but well-written food for thought.

[@depabilaba9876]

Senlin ascends is really good! If Bilbo and C-3PO had a child together it would be Senlin.

[@ebnovels]

That is a very interesting description, but intriguing 😄

[@bshaw4568]

Love the bubbly mood

[@robertabernareggi7240]

Great haul, you totally deserve all the nice books! ;) I checked your comments so I would not be obnoxious and repeat something but no one seemed to have commented on Dante’s Inferno so being the token Italian viewer and having studied the whole thing through Purgatory and Paradise too here I am! Dante’s work is a 3 part poem that dates back to Middle Ages (we don’t care about dates...it’s old) it’s at the same part a religious epic, a political manifesto and a satire of the political situation of its time, it’s also kind of a revenge strike back for having been banished -once again politics- and its also kind of Dante’s personal mid life crisis chronicle. Dude basically writes this long story in which he gets lost in a ‘dark wood’ right in the middle of his mortal life and finds himself in Hell, there he has to climb back up all the way through purgatory up to paradise, he’ll be guided by Virgil up to Purgatory (Virgil being The Epic poet of Roman literature, dude who wrote the Eneide) and in paradise by Beatrice...who’s the chick he loved and she died young sadly....also he never actually talked to her when she was alive lol it was more of this unrequited love...but I digress. Still the original it’s not about the girl he loved per se, she has a big role in paradise but as a spiritual guide and a model of perfection basically. Did I mention this thing is LONG?! It’s a masterpiece obviously and it’s amazing to see an sff author go there if he actually did! Okay sorry for this long comment but it’s rare to see Italian stuff come up in sff I got over excited ;) till the next video! Have a lovely day :)

[@ebnovels]

No need to apologize! I was pretty sure the story had been mentioned in one of my history classes, but I was also pretty sure my memory of it was more based on the game 😅 I’m glad you told me about it! Thanks for taking the time to do so 💗

[@michaelfeeney6108]

Dante in Dante’s Inferno doesn’t save anyone. He just sort of... goes on an excursion through Hell to see all the different levels. He spends the whole poem fan-ing over the poet he has as a guide.

The Way Of Kings looks cool but I despise the russian Oathbringer. It's published in two volumes instead of one, but with the same illustration, so it's basically two identical books. Aaand when all four books stand together the text on the spines doesn't line up properly. It's a nightmare and the reason why I didn't buy this series :D
