 Hello, friends, and welcome to November's TV arc letter! Hello, friends. How are we doing? I'm not doing great. Ready? I don't think this is a very good idea. Come on, you'll be all right. So, um, here's the thing. The amount of reading I have got to get done in November and December is giving me the fear. I'm not happy, I'm not in good mood, I'm not feeling the vibes, I'm terrified of what is before me. So, I'm very nervous for this month's TV arc letter and how it's gonna go. I'm not gonna lie to you, I'm not feeling good about it, I'm not feeling happy, I'm feeling sad and nervous, but it is time for November's TV arc letter. I'm hoping it will just support me in the reading I already have to get done versus making me read loads of books that I wasn't planning on reading and somehow have to put them into videos and just, maybe I'll just quit and like remove myself from the internet, I don't know. But shall we just begin and go through November's TV arc letter and hope and pray that it is kind to me? Okay, so slight change of scenery. Usually I film downstairs, but we're having worked, I'm in the kitchen at the moment for like days and I have to film this now, so we're filming it on the bed, I hope that's okay. You can see it fine, I think it's okay, it's not the ideal situation. We're making it work. Okay, are we ready? We've got funds to green men, TV arc letter men, numbers, okay. I don't know if I'm green men, I think I was thinking of toy story, okay. Number one, which is green, oh that's good, I didn't tell you when we started. I need a lot of fantasy this month, I need a lot of mystery and thriller, I'm not interested in basically anything else. Okay, so that's number one, which is green, which is perfect. Let's see how many we roll, we've got a six and a one. Let's go, I don't even know where we're going. One, two, three, four, five, six, we'll go to that one. That is number eight, which is a 2023 release. So roll number one was a fantasy that is a 2023 release and the book I'm going to be reading for this, I don't have my climbing pause on yet because I literally found out that I was going to be reading it last night, but I am very excited to say I'm going to be reading Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross, I am so excited for this. This is one of the 2023 release says, I have wanted to get around to the most, I have heard nothing but wonderful things about it, I'm going to be honest, I don't really know what it's about, shall I look up the synopsis quickly? I should probably do that, that's probably the ethical and responsible thing to do. The level of unprofessionalism far too much. But I have just seen everyone loving this, you know, and I love, I also love the UK cover, I know that's a non-popular opinion, I love the UK cover, I love it, I love it, what do you want me to say? So two young rival journalists find love through a magical connection, they must face the depths of hell in a war among gods to seal their fate forever, oh that's all I need to know, that's all I need to know, I am so excited. Enemies to love is a fantasy novel filled with hope and heartbreak and the unparalleled power of love. Now that makes me a bit nervous because like YA romanticy isn't always my favorite thing. If you're giving romance top billing in the synopsis that makes me nervous, you know what I mean? But I also think that is a marketing technique, like I don't, I'm not anti-romance but often I find that the romance is the least interesting part of a fantasy book. So it does make me a little bit nervous but I think I'm gonna love this, everyone's loved it, everyone's loved it and I read A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross this year, where is it? I read A River Enchanted and I didn't love the synopsis entirely, I'll applaud or the, some elements of the book I didn't love but I did love the writing, there was something about this writing that I just absolutely adored and so maybe this, I mean I'm still gonna finish this trilogy hopefully, but maybe this incarnation of Rebecca Ross isn't my favorite but if I love her writing I feel like I'm pretty well set up for divine rivals. So I'm very excited, that is our first book of November's Tea Bell Clear Day. Roll number two, person number four which is pink up in horror, okay maybe we can make horror work, maybe I'll allow one horror, let's see how many we are, oh no I rolled, I rolled the wrong ones, where's the other square one there? Okay let's see how many we roll, we've got a two and a three, I am just gonna go one two and that is number five which is something with blue on the cover. Roll number two was a horror and that was something with blue on the cover and for this I'm going with my best friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix, that's a lot of blue guys, come on that's a lot of blue, no one can say I haven't done it, I am so excited, I read Southern Book of Skies of the Empires by Grady Hendrix earlier this year, it was a 4.5, I think this could be a 5, I think this is tends to be people's favourite of his and I'm really excited, it's set in the 80s I believe, they're playing T-Best Friends and one of them gets like possessed by the devil let's just say the devil made me do it. Grady Hendrix is my kind of horror, I'm a little bit of a wimp, I'm a skirge skirge girl and I don't do well with like really intense horror or like not like I don't do well, I just don't tend to love it, like it doesn't land for me whereas if you're going to be camp 80s like really playing up on the vibes of the era, oh I'm very excited, I think this could be a 5 star, I'm really really excited to read it, oh there's some like mixed majors where I just saw some letters and stuff, some writing, but yeah I think I'm gonna love this and I'm hoping for lots of cheesy references to the 80s like music, films, like I want it all, I'm very excited, so yes I'm gonna be reading this this week actually, I'm very excited to roll number three is it? Person number two which is purple, where is purple? In magic realism, okay we're gonna try and get the wand, that would be helpful, we've got a one and a four, can we get to there? One, two, three, four, oh god perfect, okay so we got the wand which is a book I need to read for a reading vlog which is saving my life, thank you, TV accludo! Roll number three was the wand which is something that I need to read in a reading vlog and for this I am going with none of this is true by Lisa Drill because I am going to start my reading for the Goodreads Mystery Theatre Award in November and I'm 99.9999% sure that this will be nominated, I can't see a world in which this isn't nominated, I think this could even win, so I think it's a pretty safe bet putting it on the TV app, if it's not nominated then forget I ever said this because I'm not reading this if I don't have to, I mean like this I've got so many books to read in the next couple months I'm not reading anything I don't have to, I do want to read this, you know if it's not nominated I'll read it one day but it will be nominated so the following this podcaster who on her 45th birthday meets a woman who is her birthday twin they like find out their birthday twins and they strike up this friendship and we're following the podcast, we're following their relationship, they're hiding secrets, there's weird backstory, I don't, I think this is the kind of plot you don't want to know too much going into it but everyone has been loving this, I feel like this is the biggest release that Lisa Jewell has had in a while and so I'm excited to read it and see what I think of it because I have read, I think I've only read one Lisa Jewell and that's The Stranger Upstairs, I read that like three years ago and I did enjoy it, I didn't love it but I did enjoy it so if she can step it up this time maybe me and Lisa Jewell will get along, I'm very excited this is one of the ones that is going to be nominated for the awards I'm sure, I'm certain. There is nothing anybody can say to me that is going to induce me to change my mind. Are you sure? Do I look as if I'm not sure? That I am most excited to read so very happy to get it on my TBR. Okay roll number four person number one again in fantasy that's good let's see how many we roll, got a three and a four okay where do we want to go? I am just going to go one, two, three, four and get number two which is a series I'm part way through that is perfect thank you TBR for no gods. Roll four is a fantasy that I am part way through the series and you guys are going to be so happy when you see what I'm going to be reading. The chemistry is the final in the T Dragon series I don't even want to look too hard but like let's just look oh this is one of my favorite graphic novel series where we're filming these people who live in this world there's these magical t-jikens there's all these magical beings and I love this graphic novel series with my whole heart and I'm I'm sad to be finishing it off but I'm very excited to read this one finally as well I've been like saving them I didn't want to like I could have read them one in one evening you know what I mean but I've been saving them for the right moment and I think the right moment is now excuse me excuse me don't be fucking rude back on there mr rude I love the messages that these books teach and have I think they're incredibly inclusive they're incredibly heartwarming cozy comforting if you're looking for more cozy fantasy as a graphic novel version this is always my number one recommendation so yes I'm nervous to be finishing it off but I am also very very excited. Roll number five would be good to get some mystery or thriller person number seven oh which is brand new mystery I summoned it uh let's see oh gosh I knocked stuff over we've got a four and a four okay where can we go I don't know let's go one two three four and get number 24 which is a book with over 400 pages I think I can work with that like my least favorite prompt in the world but I think I can work with that. Roll five was a mystery that is over 400 pages and another one that I'm 99.999% sure is going to be nominated for the Goodreads Mystery's Renewals is the awesome one to die by Richard Osbert I'm going to be reading it you guys I don't know how I've read this long.
