It just now got here So we are going to do a book a Package video along with our book haul and I got get all without the luminous dead by Katelyn Starling. Yeah, see that that's such a pretty cover. That's if you can't see it That's a hand grabbing on some rocks or something. I think it's about cave Dwelling or cave spelunk spelunking spelunking. Yes, I think it's about that It's a when Jair price lied her way into this expedition She thought she'd be mapping mineral deposits and the greatest dangers might be cave collapses and gear malfunctions She also thought the fact paycheck meant she'd get a skilled surface team Monitoring her suit and environment keeping her safe keeping her sane instead She got M. But if you guys want to check out the rest of this, I'm not going to linger too much on each book I'll give you a little overview about what they're about or a little bit about the author a little bit about why I grab them I know some people go into the entire description for a book. That's not me I find that Insanely boring and when I watch book haul videos that do that I tend to scrub to the next book I'm sorry. Don't hate me, but I'm gonna give you a bit about why I got the book and if the Description is why I got it and I'll read you a little bit of that But this one it definitely was was the description and the cover because holy shit that sexy. It's from Harper Voyager So next up I want to tell you once again bookmarks a Stranger dream sent me a couple bookmarks and it gave me a code to give you guys a discount So once again down there in the doobly-doo click on that link go over there and check out a stranger dream And yes, those of you asking yes, this is the same company that did the cover for my cruelty and joy series on patreon So but if you want to grab these bookmarks, which are super awesome sexy Click on the link down there in the doobly-doo and type in at checkout Lorne five is a discount code and it gets a discount on the entire order next up I got yet. I couldn't pass this up because it was a quarter once again Yukio Mishima I didn't like star if y'all remember my review that one this one is the sound of waves And I figure since I since I just found it for a quarter I go ahead and grab this one too So yeah, like I said, the only reason I got it is because it was quarter And I might end up reading this one before I read confessions of a mask because it's so Super short Next up I have a couple of amazing finds the first one is first blood by David Morel, which is of course the The book that inspired Rambo from what I understand two completely different experiences Between the book and the movie. So I like the Rambo movie. All right, but from what I hear Morel did a fantastic job with the actual book. So I'm definitely going to give this a check out I might even do a book versus movie for it. I know I know I still haven't done witches of Eastwick I apologize. I'm so far behind an up. It's shot I just have a chance to load it for some odd reason anything over 30 minutes My internet right now is killing the only video over 30 minutes I've been able to upload has been the Stephen King theorist with black house and I have no idea why Ever since they kill the the internet died here. I've been having problems uploading long videos But we will continue to try until we get those bastards uploaded next up and that was a quarter That was a quarter at the library sale. Am I off? I'm off center, aren't I? Oh, well, somebody will just have to be upset Next up the haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson was a quarter at the library. Holy shit So, yeah, they just had a big pile of Classics over there saying get classics for a quarter the haunting of Hill House and First blood and then there was one more. Yeah, there was one more Maybe it was two I can't remember. I know the last one was a was a quarter also, but we'll get to that But yeah haunting of Hill House. I've never read this. I read We have always lived in a castle and I wasn't too impressed But that everybody who read my review of that one said go check out this one The haunting of Hill House and it has one of the most famous opening lines of all time I can probably that something walked in Hill House and it walked alone something like that. Let me Let's see here. Let me try and find it No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality Even Larks and Katie did Katie did's Katie did's are supposed by some to dream Hill House Not saying stood by itself against its hills holding Darkness within it had stood for 80 years and might stand for 80 more within walls continued up Upright bricks met neatly floors were firm the doors were sensibly shut Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House and whatever walked there walked alone I was under the impression that whatever walked there walked alone was like the opening line So my apology for reading all that but I suppose it has the the most famous opening paragraph of all time I know everybody talks about that one line. Whatever walked in Hill House walked alone. It's pretty rad line All right, so next up we have a two gifts actually The Wolf Sour you guys probably saw this and my I won't go into it too much But this is the last McCammon book that I needed from my McCammon collection and author Tim What in the world is his name Tim, Michael almost called my buddy Tim Feely. I have a lot of Tim's There's a Tim that comes in chat all the time. There's Tim Meyer. There's Tim Feely. There's another Tim Nobody else knows about I got Tim's coming out the wazoo. So anyways, yeah, Tim Meyer author great, dude He sent me the Wolf Sour because he saw on Instagram that I needed it and he didn't want any Compensation or anything I did give him a shout out on the channel, but he didn't ask for that He just said, you know, thanks for doing that and he's cool. Dude great guy Just sent me a book. Anywhere else you go. It's like five bucks. So thanks for saving me five bucks Tim If you watch the video next up we have my buddy Nick sent me the Frightners by Steven Laws I don't think this is the last one I needed for my laws collection, but it but it's awfully close to being done Mostly I have his old leisure paperbacks, but this one is a I don't even know who published new English library It's also either it's the Australian version of the book, which is cool It was twelve ninety five in Australia, but it was only four ninety nine in a in the UK crazy So, yeah, so new English library copy of the Frightners No, it is not the movie with Michael J. Fox and Jake Busey is not Based on this book. It's something completely different. In fact the Frightners It's a mob term from what it says in the opening of the book to put the Frightners on someone's like put A screw on them to you know pay back a loan or something next up is another one that I got For a quarter from the library is memento mori Yeah, I can't find this book for under 15 bucks not even on the Amazon I think the lowest I ever found it was $12, but it's super short and I couldn't see spending that it's 223 pages It's supposed to be a classic like mystery horror kind of deal and It's by Muriel spark. Yeah, so I've had this one in my Amazon gift card forever It's on a list of must-read books for like horror fans something like that I can't remember where I read by some Buzzfeed something, but yeah memento mori was another quarter book that I quarter a Book that I got from the library for quarter. I don't know you were see okay next up is a gift from my friend Terry She's always sending me stuff, which is the girls by Emma Klein I told kind of a funny story about this one I read this one while I was doped up on some pretty high pain medicine and I wrote a review of Just imaginings stuff that didn't actually even happen in the book As like she was always buffing her muffin is what I wrote I thought the book was full of masturbation and I got some plot points right but for some other reason I imagined or dreamt that this woman was always masturbating throughout the book I have no idea why but that's what I wrote so yeah I'm gonna try and read it again the first time I tried to read it It was on audiobook now. I'm gonna try to actually read the text I had somebody who wanted to buddy read with me was it Richard Richard was it you Wanted to read it with me. Let me know down there in the doogly-doo. So next up we have this one I've been looking for forever. I finally found a used copy of and I haven't been able to finish this one But I am such a huge fan of the original book that I had to get the sequel as the pilo Traveling show which is the sequel to the pilo family circus I think is the name of that one. It's a terrific book and I grabbed this one it the pristine copy Just like it's like it's brand new. I'm not sure why it was so cheap I think it was five bucks from a Goodwill. I think it was But it's like it hasn't even been read. There's no marks or scuffs or anything on it It's a perfect straight from the manufacturer is what it seems like and there's no writing in it anything like that So I'll probably get into this one relatively soon. Hopefully I can finish it because before I only had it on ebook And I think that's part of the reasons why I kept on quitting it I don't think it's actually the book itself. Next up is something that's probably gonna end up getting sold And the reasoning for that is I I've seen the book everywhere, but I don't know it's my jam or not And that is I don't even know what it's called the great alone by Kristen Hannah If anybody wants this book, I'm willing to let go of it for a dollar plus shipping if anybody wants it I got it for a quarter at the library. It does have some sticker residue right here So I can clean it up for you If you want me to clean it up for you, that's fine It's gonna smell like goo gone when you get it back, but if you don't mind I'll just go ahead and send it I don't think I'll ever get to it. It's a pretty stout book. I think it's over 400 pages Yeah, 440 pages and I just don't think it's my kind of deal. Oh, also someone it's a destroyed book also So the publisher didn't receive any the publisher or the author didn't receive any money for it The price has been cut off of it But yeah former POW comes home from the Vietnam War a changed and volatile man when he loses yet another job He makes an impulsive decision He will move his family north to Alaska where they will live off the grip never mind I take back my offer. I'm gonna at least try this. I don't know what the writing is gonna Writing is gonna be like but I'm all there for that just picks up and leaves 13-year-old Lenny a girl coming of age in a tumultuous time caught in the riptide of her parents passionate stormy relationship There's to hope that a new land will lead to a better future for a family. Yeah, this sounds good I may put it up for sale anyways So if somebody wants it the first person to comment that they want it if I don't like it You get it for a dollar plus shipping. So yeah, there you go the great alone by Kristen Hannah Also, if it's good, I like literary fiction. I don't like contemporary fiction I certainly don't like romance if it's anything like that heavy on that Please let me know down there in the doobly-doo or if you know me well and you've read it and you think I won't like it Let me know why you think I won't like it if you think I'll like it. Let me know why you think I'll like it Arguing your case down there in the doobly-doo. Okay, so oh I got a stack leaning tower piece of the last one It was in the I think it was either in the classic section It was just up on the shelf for the library sale the quarter of book was Elmord Leonard's get shorty And yeah, I saw all you out there. I thought you've never read Elmord Leonard. I haven't that's why I got the book You silly so yeah Elmord Leonard. I follow a lot of his writing advice, but I don't I've never actually read one of his books He has a and what's kept me away this long is there's a there's a quote from him Not really a quote, but I saw an interview with him where he said an old woman came up to him in the store It seems like all authors have an old woman came up to him in the store Stephen King story is a Shawshank redemption story if you guys know that one Let me know down in there doobly-doo, but uh an old woman came up to me I really loved and she did he did the accent to you. I really love that movie get shorty and he says well did you What did you read the book and she said well? No, I didn't know was it was a book until just until after I saw the movie and he goes well Then you're no good to me or you're no use to me is what he said It seemed like a really dickish move and I stayed away from him until then I said I you know I'm not gonna buy the guy's work But if I ever find his book on sale or used or whatever I will try him out and if I like him Then I'll end up buying his work, you know, so there's the story guys But yeah, so I got get shorty by Elmord Leonard Whether or not he's a douche nozzler, not if he's a good author. He's a good author I'm definitely here for this now Let me try and fix this leaning tower a piece over here real quick because I have absolutely no room out in this Out in this office anymore I just made room by doing the big book sales on Twitter yet y'all catch those and I restocked again So I need to get rid of about a hundred more books and I don't go through the stuff that I plan on selling I don't do in these book haul videos But I usually bring in at least a hundred books a month and I'm not gonna bore you sitting through a bunch of books that That you know, I'm not gonna keep and I have no interest in reading like I buy James Patterson books all the time Just to resell them They pull a big profit for me Clive Clive Custler, James Patterson, John Sanford all these books I will never read even though everybody keeps telling me to read John Sanford. I'm gonna try it I have a stack of Lucas Davenport novels over here from the first to I think to the 10th So if I like them then I'll keep them But I always sell the later ones because those ones are usually the most popular I have a couple of Lee Childs down here I can't stand Lee Child, but the last book for this book haul is the necromancer's house by Christopher Buhlman I've read and absolutely loved those across the river and it hit my top 20 list of all time whether or not I'll stay at number 20 or not who knows but I grabbed this one because it was super cheap on Amazon a new copy I did not buy a used copy. This is a brand new copy off Amazon. It was super cheap for the hardcover So I went ahead and grabbed it. I think it was like 10 11 bucks something like that But yeah, this is the only other one of his that really piqued my interest Now I'm not saying that he can write that that the books that don't pique my interest won't be great I mean with insomnia insomnia and leasy story if I read the descriptions for those books I never and went off just that I never would have read them me being a super King fan Of course, I read them eventually and I love them But with with this on he hasn't quite won my trust So I'm gonna read one more that I know that's funny to say but I always give authors two chances Even when I like them and it takes at least two books for me to go. Okay, you're you're someone I'm gonna buy from all the time now So if you've read anything else by Christopher Buhlman and want to give me a recommendation for something that I should try That's fine, but I'm gonna read this one first I think the only other one that looked busy was like the suicide motorcycle cub or the motorcycle suicide club something like that seemed interesting But yeah, so I got this one. This is the last one that that for the for the list, but it's very intriguing I'm not usually a witch in warlock and all that stuff kind of deal But the rest of the premise seem interesting to me I'll go ahead and read this to you Andrew Randolph Blankenship is a handsome stylish non-conformist with why wit rye wit a classic Mustang and a massive library And I gotta admit that's one of the reasons why I picked it up He is also a recovering alcoholic and a practicing warlock able to speak with the dead through film one of my number one Guilty pleasures is witch fiction. I really enjoy stuff about witches But it tends when when that's a warlock it tends to be I don't know what it is But people rarely get warlocks right and it's not like there's some standard that I have It's just usually the warlocks come off kind of kind of laughable I mean, it's also the same with the male wizards and Harry Potter. I always found them laughable I don't know if there's a little sexism going on there with me Not liking the male wizard to how a man which like supernatural powers seems silly to me But it's completely fine for a woman to have it. I don't know what kind of gender bias I have there But hey, it's the truth So I was but it's still the closest one that I could that I read from the descriptions that kind of peeked to my interest So let's give this one a try also So yeah, this is the last one from the book haul the Necromancer's house I also am a huge fan of the cover. I'm not gonna get sit here and say this the whole reason that I bought it But it's pretty close. Anyways, if you have your own book haul videos, please link them down there in the doobly-doo I say this every time but they are some of my favorite Content here on YouTube. I watch book hauls from strangers. I watch a book haul from friends I love book hauls. I love watching people talk about the whys of why they buy things It's I feel like it's the best way to get to know somebody Through this in this whole internet shenanigans It's the best way to to get to know somebody is to kind of lurk on their buying habits So that's why I watch the book hauls I get to know somebody rather quickly whether or not I want to consume their content or not Whether or not I want to follow them whether or not I want to be a friend of theirs that kind of deal And I watch probably out of all the videos that I watch I only comment on probably five percent of the videos So if you're a friend of mine and your videos are up and you're like why hasn't he commented? I rarely comment because I watch so much and also the way I have my room set up I usually am watching it on the screen with my tablet charging across the room So unless it's something that really really grabs my brains like you have to say something I rarely ever comment So I apologize But if you ever do a video and you want me to specifically answer questions for you or anything like that You're gonna have to ask me Specifically in the video. Hey, what do you think about this thing? But uh, yeah, so definitely even if you don't have a video, please leave your book hauls down there in the doobly-doo Just give me a list Dustin. I love your list everybody else who puts their list down there I appreciate you. It's like I said, it's another thing I can get to know you without a whole lot of input given between the both of us I see you're buying habits. I have a good idea of what kind of person you are But until next time I have been E you've been you this been in the book haul video. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye. Bye
