 just go home from school, make up some s, but today I'm gonna be bringing you guys a massive book haul full of all the books I bought in May, all the books that I got from book con, and from my New York trip, as well as a page habit unboxing. So let's jump right into it. I feel like I look orange and it's really bothering me but it's fine. It's A View by Bo, Bo Tapplin. I'm probably saying that very wrong. This I was actually sent by Anders Make Me A Polishing, so thank you so much to them. It was a surprise and I read this and I really loved it. I've never read from this author before but I just thought this collection was very well done and I believe it just came out this month or like mid-May. So check this one out if you are a poetry lover because I personally really enjoyed it. Heart by Casey West. This is the new Casey West book that came out. I believe this one, this one's like a podcast romance thing. I thought why not? Here I got Hope Nation and this is by a bunch of YA authors and this is why YA authors share personal moments of inspiration. So I thought I'd pick this up. By The Publisher I was sent escaping from Houdini by Carrie Meniscalco. I got this earlier in the month of May. I was so excited for it because I didn't like Stocking Jack the Ripper but I loved printing, hunting prints Dracula so I like needed this and I requested it from them and they were so sweet to send it to me. So thank you so much to Little Brown for sending this my way. I'm very excited to read this. This is the third book in the Stocking Jack the Ripper. Series and this one I'm so excited to read. I've been like making myself not read this because I have other arcs to read and I'm like uh you all are asking me so many questions about is The Outsider by Stephen King. I did pick this one up this month for it obviously came out this month. I am hoping to read this. I'm not going to say soon because I'll say soon but I probably won't read it soon because I have other things that I want to read right now but like I do want to get to this and I know I've gotten like I've gotten questions if I'm reading it if I'm doing a review on it whatever. I will do a review on it when I read it but I don't know when that's gonna be but I've been hearing some great things about it. All I know is it's like an unspeakable crime, an abundance of evidence. 11 year old boy's corpse in the park. How can two opposing stories be true? It sounds really good and I've heard good things about this so I do want to get to this one. Undead Girl Gang by Lily Andrews. This is a YA contemporary-ish book. I believe it's like witchy. It has to do with like bringing back the dead. It sounds really good. It's been getting really good reviews. I was supposed to read this for the Buzzwordathon but I did not because I failed at that readathon but we'll move on. I also got A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Bass. I haven't read this one yet. Heard very mixed things on it. Some people love it. Some people hate it. I'm interested to see where I'm gonna stand. This is like the 3.25 or like 3.25 of the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. It's like the little bridge between the first trilogy and then the second half of the thing that's going to come out. I don't know it's a mess. We're gonna open my Page Habit box because it's been uh I'm dying to see what's in that. We're back. So Page Habit. If you do not know I'm an ambassador with that. So my link is down below in my code and stuff so if you want to get the box you can get like a discount and stuff. I do really love Page Habit. They're great. Let's go through this. I'm excited because I've been this has been sitting there and I'm like I want to read it. This is... oh no. Lily Anderson. Now I know what the book is. Okay I already have this book but I mean okay um that's cool. I got a note from the other. What else is in here? What the hell is this? Oh my god. Pull light. Two-way color changing. Choose from two settings. Multicolor changing. It's literally a LED light bulb that changes colors and you can like hang it. Interesting. Okay. Not really what I expected but all right. We also have this little like snow globe keychain and it's a little... This one's a little white box which is really really cute. Um we have the bookmark which is of all things I liked books best. Nikola Tesla which is really cool. Come on focus for me please. I'm very hyper today if you couldn't tell but that came in there. I love their bookmarks. What the hell is this? Showmark bookmark and it's literally like this little guy in his feet stick up. Okay interesting. This one stuff is so random I can't. Um okay so these are the picks for all the boxes. Ooh the mystery box had the perfect mother in it. That's fun. So yes the book is broken by Lily Anderson. Anderson. This has her little thing signed. If you don't know it comes with annotations in it from the author so I'll probably read this copy now which is pretty cool. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. And then there's a little short story. It's always at the bottom. So this one's the ones the ones who remained domestic disturbance, rehab, no ordinary suspect so it's a little short story. So that's really cool and that's everything for the May page habit box. Page habit never disappoints me. Little weird this month. Kind of strange but I do love page habit and their stuff because like you can choose a certain genre and it's a great time. Okay clear books. These are from my New York trip and from book con so we'll go through those. First up here from Barnes & Noble because if you guys don't know I'm from Canada so like I can't get a lot of that stuff here but anyways went to Barnes & Noble, went to The Strand and went to book con. In my vlog I'll link it up on the screen. I work my ass off on it if you want to watch it. This is the great cat poems about cats and it's like one of these editions. These are like the Every Men's Library Poet Pockets so I'm very excited about that. Next from Strand I got the Exorcist. This obviously this is the most terrifying novel ever written apparently. If you guys have seen the old movie, the original, that creeps a lot of people out. I personally haven't seen it but I've like seen clips from it and stuff like that but I want to read the book and I want to see if this is scary because like what I was researching like a few years ago I was researching like the scariest books ever and this was one of them so I don't know if you guys have read this let me know if you think it's scary or not. Then I got some of the Barnes & Noble classic editions which I was so excited for so I got classic ghost stories. It's in the plastic right now but this has Edgar on Poe, Charles Dickens, Arthur Conan Doyle, M.R. James, William Hope Hudson and others. You guys are going to be really happy with this one but I ended up getting HP Lovecraft's collection so the complete Cthulhu Mythos Tales and this comes with a poster in the back and everything. Very excited because I've been wanting to get some of HP Lovecraft's work. You guys have been telling me to read it too so I'm very excited about that. Not mentioned Edgar on Poe so I got another one of these. I have another Barnes & Noble one that I got like when I went like three years ago which is this one so now I got two and they're so pretty.

She's like do you have this and I'm like no oh my god like that's hard to find like please bring it back for me and she brought it back so thank you so much to her but basically the big deal with this one is like they sell these on like ebay and amazon and like you kind of have to like scour the internet for them because it has rage in it which has is unpublished they're not printing it anymore so you have to find like the old bind ups that are used and I'm so happy that I got this for like my whole Stephen King collection so yes thank you Kayla.
