 Hello, hello, everyone. My name is Laura. This is my channel, Laura's Little Library, and welcome to the chaos of the bookshelves aka my spring book haul. I have acquired more books again and I just did a two-part book haul recently and uh yeah it's gotten worse since then. Uh my shelves are in complete chaos and the audio and the lighting are a little wonky in this video so please patience with me. I just moved into my little book room that I've created and I'm still working out a few kinks here for example the shelves but I wanted to do this book haul before really organizing the shelves because there are so many books here I want to make sure I have space for them on the shelves and how I organize them so I'm gonna go ahead and dive right in but if you don't know what I'm talking about I will have a video of me moving all of my stuff into this book room in our apartment so subscribe and hit the bell to be notified I'll have it linked above and you should definitely check it out and a lot of them are spring themed but not necessarily a requirement but this first one definitely is because it is Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Fairies and this is by Heather Foggett and this has been taking the bookish community by storm this spring it's a new release and Emily Wilde travels to faraway land for fairies and it just sounds enchanting and beautiful and I mean look at this cover come on now of course so I had to buy it it is my nail I am happy next up we have and I might speed through these books just so you know because there are a lot and I don't want this video to be too long because I don't like editing videos that are too long anyway I have Beast of Prey by Ayanna Gray and this is like a night zoo with fantasy elements I don't know if they're mythology elements or not but fantasy zoo I mean come on how does that not sound appealing so I also purchased Gallant by the Schwab I wanted to get this last year but I didn't get my hands on it I think it's a secret garden retelling of this girl who doesn't have any family and she's growing up at home or like in an orphanage and then all of a sudden her family reaches out and they're like hey actually you have an uncle and cousins but there are some mysterious things going on and there's like strong uh plant magic or plant themes in here so um but it's a visual book and I haven't read a lot of her books but I want to so I thought I'd I mean I won't start here but this one is definitely one I wanted to read soon then I have Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young I have liked other books by this author and this is like a very Vikings-esque fantasy story I don't know if it's Viking mythology or just inspired by Vikings takes place during the Viking period which I love I haven't read a lot of like Viking and Norse mythology I've read a little bit but not a lot and so I like this author so I thought I'd give it a try these next two books were actually sent to me by the author in exchange for an honest review so I will be reading them for middle grade March actually and that would be these books the Simone Le Frey the Simone Le Frey books I am really excited so the first one is and the Chocolate Tears Ball the second one is and the Red Wolves of London and we follow our main character who works with her dad in a pastry shop which I'm all here for as a pastry chef I'm here for it but she's a spy by night so this is middle grade I will be reading it for middle grade March it won the Moonbeam Children's Book Award and I believe it's actually going to be turned into a movie so and then I'm so excited this book is literally one of the books why I did not have patience to film this video um it's the Dragons Promise by Elizabeth Lim so this is the second book after the Six Crimes and Cranes it's the final book in the duology it's the UK cover because I have the UK cover for the first one in my opinion these are the prettiest covers I love the pastiles I love the artwork it is enchanting this is centered around Chinese mythology seriously read Six Crimes and Cranes if you haven't our main character has magic and when her stepmother realizes that she turns her brothers into Six Cranes and she can't talk otherwise one of her brother dies and she gets like excite oh it's a whole thing I love the first book I finally am so happy to have this book and this copy of it to finish the duology I think to me a true spring book haul is just pretty books it just is pretty books moving on so this is actually a replacement so it's The Cruel Prince by Holly Black it's hardcover the copy that I had was softcover and literally every other Holly Black book that I have like The Wicked King the Queen of Nothing how the King of El Paine Learned Hate Stories and The Stolen Air are all hardcover and it bothered me so much that just one book wasn't so I bought this in hardcover so that they wouldn't match yes I'm starting to get into the nitty gritty details and aesthetics of my shelf like that it's my decision come after me if you want but I'm just so relieved then I have The Crown's Fate and this is by Evelyn Sky this is the second book in the Crown's Game yeah The Crown's Game I was right duology I read both books and I bought the second book so that I can complete the set because I liked them this is a fantasy kind of imperial Russia you have two enchanters who are fighting to be the official enchanter to the side and it may end in romance well I don't know read the books I forgot about this one the school for guineval crystal in time this is book five by Sonan Chinani in the school for guineval series there's a first trilogy and then there's the second trilogy but you can count it as a six book trilogy if you want so this is either book two in the camelot ears or book five in the universe I just need the sixth book and then I have all the ones in the series which is great because the movie came out so yay then I bought The Girl in the Tower and The Winter of the Witch and these are by Catherine Arden so these are books two and three of the Baron the Nightingale trilogy I read the first book and instantly read these two books and know that I needed to finish owning the trilogy because I just sped through reading them so quickly they are based in Russian folklore and they were amazing so now I have the rest of the trilogy I forgot about these next ones I was thinking I needed to buy these but it I was thinking about them because I just purchased them finale by Stephanie Garber third and final book in the caravall trilogy by Stephanie Garber and I would not allow myself to buy the once upon a broken heart in the ballad of never after until I completed purchasing this trilogy and now I have finished purchasing this trilogy and I am so happy and I can move on I have read all the books in this universe and they make me happy they are wonderful so yeah definitely worth the read if you like whimsical circus competition kind of dark magic what can you trust don't know what you can trust and sisterly love go for the caravall trilogy I'm completing or close to completing so many series it makes me feel less stressed and less and relieved because like here's another final book in the series that I've read and absolutely adored capturing the devil by Carrie Menescalco this is the fourth and final book in the stocking jack the ripper series and probably one of the best books in the series holy love this so much now I can finally add it on to myself stocking that jack the ripper case you didn't know is in 1800s and you have a female main character who wants to be like a mortician well she wants to like do autopsies and study the bodies and whatnot but it's the 1800s and she's a woman but then the first one is stocking jack the ripper obviously she gets involved with the ripper cases and then you've got hunting prince Dracula and you've got escaping Houdini and now capturing the devil so this was just a really fun series the romance and okay this is not a recommendation the video but the romance so obviously you see why I had to buy the whole series now I hope you see and those are all the books okay that was not too big of a haul that I thought I think it also could just be the I spent through them really quickly but that was 15 books I think that's a pretty good sizable haul anyway thank you all very
