 Welcome back to TBR colludo. TBR colludo right here is my TBR game. We play every single month. I'll leave the post down below, we can find the first video. It explains how we play but it's pretty self-explanatory to get on. There's prompts, there's rooms that I have to read a book in that genre, etc. Okay, so this is my TBR for June. Firstly, it's actually a personal attack that it's like June. That doesn't make sense. That doesn't mean that's not in my fantasy. We're not like, we're not recognizing that. It's a lot of fantasies and when I feel the fantasy, it is my reality. I actually wrote May TBR when I made this lesson. I was like, hang on. Hang on. Oh! So in terms of June, it's a little bit tricky because a lot of the videos I got coming this month, I can't pre-plan what I'm gonna read. So like, I've got a lot of reading that I can't fit into this because I don't know what the books are gonna be until that exact moment. So this was a little bit tricky. It was a little bit tricky but my main aim with this month was to get a lot of fantasy rolls because I had a lot of fantasy to get to this month. So that was the kind of priority of what I knew that I had to read. And yeah, I think that's what we have to say. I'm doing well. I've pretty much finished all of May's TBR, don't worry. But like, we've still got what day? What's the date? 24th? 24th, yeah. God, I'm so great. I don't actually love myself this much. I just act like I do. Let's just get into the first roll. I have a lot of fantasy that I want to read this month or need to read this month. So we're gonna try and go to fantasy as much as we can. But let's just go ahead with this. So roll one. Person number seven, which is brown over here. Okay, let's see how many we roll. We could use the staircase to get into fantasy, maybe. Okay, so let's look at this. Let's go. We haven't used the staircases in a while. I feel like I forgot about them for a moment. So we've got seven in total. So we can go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and get number 26. Sorry, I almost said 24. Number 26, which is something I've been scared to read. Okay, by the way, I just, I have cats, right? And sometimes there's just cat fur in the air everywhere. And today, I just feel like my makeup, I've got loads of fluff on my face. So if you've seen me making like strange face expressions, that's why. Anyway, our first roll was a fantasy that I have been scared to read. And for this, I picked Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor. Yes, yes, yes. I know a lot of you will be happy. I'm going to be reading Muse of Nightmares this month. When I read Strange a Dreamer by Laini Taylor, the first in this duology, I was like, huh, I need to pick up and read Muse of Nightmares straight away. Straight away. I love the ending so much. I was like, right, straight away. And then I left it too long, and I've been terrified to read it. The excitement dissipated, well not dissipated, but like the immediate excitement dissipated, and the tension and the scared to consume this book rose. So in the first book, you're following Laszlo Strange, who is obsessed with this lost mythical city of Weep, but it turns out it's not lost, and he gets to go there. There's also like an unspoken big part of this series. It's kind of like not spoken about, but there's stuff to do with gods and goddesses and stuff, plays a big role of the book. And I, hmm, the ending Strange a Dreamer is one of the most like personal attack endings I've ever read. I sobbed, and it just completely changes where the where the storyline is going to go in the second book. So yeah, I'm quite scared, but I am excited to finally get to this and finish off this series. Nanny Taylor has some of my favorite writing ever, not always my favorite plot and characters. Sometimes I feel like that can get a bit lost, but in terms of writing, like 100%, 20 out of 10 writing, you know what I mean? So very excited to get to this. Roll number two. Person number one, which is green! Oh my god, this is going so well already. Let's see how I'm going to reroll. Oh, a four and a three again. I think I'm going to keep it easy and go one, two, three, which is number nine, which is a book with under 6000 ratings on Goodreads. So like a little bit less of a popular or red book. Next roll was another fantasy under 6000 ratings on Goodreads. So when I made this prompt, I had a look and basically the bottom 40% of my TBR, I would say, has less than 6000 ratings. The top 60% have more than that. So it's kind of like a less red book. And for this, I have picked The Monarchs by Kaz Morgan and Danielle Page. I'm really excited to read this. I have never, ever been happier. This only has like 700 ratings so far because it's a sequel that came out this year. So people have had a lot of time to read it and also you've got to read the first one in order to read it. I'm really excited to read this. The first one is The Ravens and this follows like a sisterhood, a what's the word? I'm English guys, a sorority, a sorority where they're all witches. I mean the first book is them kind of like using their magic to save the sisterhood following two perspectives, one who's an older girl there and one who's a newer girl. And like in contrast to Music Nightmares where like the ending of Stranger Dreamer really switched up. What the whole story, oh god couldn't get that word out. The whole story is going to be about this one the way it ended. I feel like it was kind of open for it to go in a lot of different directions. So whereas with that I kind of know what to expect in a way, although I know it's going to be like a crazy new direction. I don't know if we're going to kind of stay in the same vibe in this book or if we're going to go off a completely different path. But I was really shocked by how much I loved the Ravens. I was like it was kind of like a three star prediction. And in the end I think I gave it like a really strong four star. I really enjoyed it. I really liked the writing. I've never read from either of these two before, so I'm very excited to finish this off. Roll number three. Person number two, which is purple up here in mystery. Let's see how many we roll. Whoa. We've got five and a one. Um, let's see. Let's go. One, two, three, four, five, which is number 22, which is a title with three words. Round three was a mystery with three words in the title. And this is the one that I gave to my patrons, them to vote on. If you don't know, my patrons vote on one round of tblcuda every month. And that ends up being our book club pick for the month. As always, links down below if you want to come and join us. It's a lot of fun. We have like two live shows a week, usually reading sprints and then either we play GeoGuessor together or Gain's Night. There's like early access to videos. There's so much. So the four options I gave them, which I thought were like four, like I was excited for all of these. The four options are the Twyford Code by Janice Hallett, the Inigami Curse by Sashi Yokomizo, Death and Croissants by Ian Moore, and Big Little Lies by Liana Moriarty. Now usually I would say on the votes, on the polls, we have like two front runners, right? That everyone kind of is fighting between. But this month, the votes were pretty evenly dispersed across all four options. Different ones of them kept taking the lead and I didn't know who was going to win. But I'm actually quite surprised that the winner was Big Little Lies by Liana Moriarty. So this is our book club pick. I'm actually really excited because, you know, it's an older book that I haven't read and I feel like we'll have a lot to discuss from it. I just kind of assumed that people would have already read this and like thus it wouldn't get picked on maybe one of the newer ones would. I'll put the picture in here of what the split was. It was like pretty tight between all the different, all the different books. All I know about this is that we're following like these women. Women. And there's like shit goes down, essentially. I don't, I always get the vibe that it's kind of like Celestine who I've read before and really loved. I feel like they're in the same ballpark. But anyway, I'm very excited to read it and then watch the series. And I don't know what to expect. I feel like this is going to be a really fun one because often for the book club we kind of read maybe more niche books or like books are not a lot of people have read. Whereas this is probably one of the biggest like longevity wise books we're going to have read so far. So I feel like that's going to be a really interesting lens to view it through. Next roll. Number two again. Okay, I haven't got a lot of mysteries to read this man. Let's see what we've got. A five and a four. Okay. I'm just going to go one, two, three, four and get this one, which is number two, which is a series I'm partway through. Roll number four was a series that I'm partway through. A mystery. A mystery of a series I'm partway through. And this one I'm cheating a little bit. Okay. Like it's fine guys. It's fine. Please allow me to do this. The rules don't apply. This series technically is on my finished series list on my spreadsheet. I've read the main books. This series is A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson. I'm going to be reading Killjoy by Holly Jackson. This is either before the first book or between books one and two. I'm not sure when it's set. It's around that time frame. And this is like a short novella that Holly, Holly Jackson did. I believe like World Book Day or something. It's really, really short. But once I finished this, you know, I didn't want to put this on like the series set list because I didn't want it to like hold me back from saying I finished because I finished the main series. But it technically is a series I'm partway through if I haven't finished it. So I'm counting it. I'm counting it. I think it's, I think it's a bit more like fun and games than the actual series. I think it's like she's solving like a kind of mystery at a Halloween party, like something gets stolen or like, I can't remember. It's very, very like fun. It's not serious like those of a club. We're not dealing with serious cases. I think it's like a fun mystery. I think the audiobook is in like three hours long. I've got the audiobook and the ebook. So, you know, I'm just craving Holly Jackson's writing. We haven't got any information. It's really gonna be years. Like Holly Jackson's like, yeah, I'm just gonna wait a while, you know, it's really gonna be years until we get a new Holly Jackson, but I'm craving it. And we haven't even got any kind of hints or announcements. And I just need more, but we don't have more. So this is the more that we have for now. I just, I need to read it. So we're gonna read Killjoy this month. Okay, two more rolls to come. Number eight, which is blue. Okay, let's see how many we roll. A two and a two. Um, let's go a lot of my odd numbers away. Let's go one, two, three, four, which is number 30, which, oh my god, that's the world card. That's great. That means I can read anything I want for that one. It doesn't have to be a contemporary. It can be literally anything I want. Oh my god, I forgot that even existed. I haven't had it in so long. Roll five was a world card. I forgot this existed because I haven't gotten in so long. And I was, I was toying. I was toying with that book to pick. Hang on. Where's the other one I wanted to pick? Oh no, I just dropped that one. You've shown an incredible lack of respect. I'm undecided for a vlog, which of these books I want to read in that vlog. So in the spirit of wild card, I'm gonna say the two options. And then when it gets closer to the time I'm gonna make the vlog, I'll probably read whichever one of these I'm in the mood for. So we're getting two options for this roll. I'm not reading both of these. I'll probably read one or the other. The two options are A Sum of Storm and Silence by Rosanne A Brown and Drowned Country by Emily Teche. I've always said this is one of my favorite covers. I love the kind of creepiness of it. It's a very strange cover, but I love it. So this is like a African inspired fantasy. The first one is following these two characters who want to kill each other to further their own aims. Not because they actually hate each other, but they like need to achieve something and they have to kill each other in order to get it. And Drowned Country is the sequel to Silver in the Wood. And this one's from like this man who is a spirit of the woods, lives in the woods. It's hard to explain. They're novellas, so they're very hard. Whoa. They're very hard to explain without spoiling it. But yeah, I'm going to read either of these for the vlog. I'm not sure which one yet, so I want to keep my options open. So in the spirit of wild card, I'll read one of these, but I'm not sure which one yet. Okay, final roll. Whoa. Person number five, which is white over here. Let's see what we roll. Oh my goodness. Oh, we've got six in a one. Let's just go one here, which is number five, which is something with blue on the cover. And then the last roll with a romance with blue on the cover. And I am going to be reading Below Zero by Ali Hazelwood. This does have it on the cover, right? I know it. I know it does. It's like snow and shit. I know it does. I'm just doubting myself. I'm currently reading Stuck With You. I'm literally, I've been listening to it while I got ready today. I've got like 50 minutes left. And then this is the third and final one in Ali Hazelwood's novella series. I have been enjoying them, Ali Hazelwood. It's just like a comfort romance reader for me, which I've never really had before. I just like the way she writes characters. I think it's kind of funny. It's kind of tongue in cheek. Perhaps that comes from a lot of her stuff being adapted from fanfic. It's kind of got this like, I'm making fun of the genre while still being the absolute, you know, standard of the genre. Does that make sense? I don't know. I feel like all of her books are kind of like an inside joke. So I really enjoyed the first one in the series. I haven't obviously, I'm like halfway through the second one. So I have, I don't know what my thoughts are on it yet. I'm enjoying it, but I don't know if I'm going to love it more than I did the first one. And then this is the third and final one. I know this one, I think they're like in Antarctica or something. And they're like, scientist research is on the cold. And like, oh my god, it's going to be like when, when Edward Bella and Jacob are in the tent and he's like, I'm harder than you. Is that what he says? I'm harder than you to Edward and Edward. Lily cuddles Bella near the reference I want. Okay, let's face it. I am harder than you. But yeah, super excited. It will be finishing off another series, and they're super quick and easy to read. So there we have it, everyone. That is my TVR for June. Like I said, this is a very limited sample of what I'm going to be reading in June. A lot of videos I have got planned. I cannot plan for them, ironically. I don't know what I'm going to be reading. So this was pretty tough to fit everything in, but we got lucky with the world card and I got lucky with fantasy roles. So yeah, let me know down below what you're going to be reading in June. I'd love to know. Make sure you like the video, subscribe if you're new. And if you've gotten to the end, comment the snowflake emoji for below zero because we're in the snow. I think, I mean, no, it's in Antarctica. You only doubt yourself. Sometimes I just doubt myself. I don't want to appear wrong. So I'm assured in my beliefs. Anyways, thank you guys so much for watching. I love you and I'll see you very soon in another video. Bye.
