 Hello friends! Welcome back to another episode of TBR Cluedo! How are we all doing? We're doing June's TBR Clio, holy shit. Let me just walk out. This year feels, I mean every year feels like it's gone by in a blink of an eye, but this year I just don't even want to talk about it. The hat is back. I haven't worn the hat for the past couple episodes and I feel like I was just doing us all a disservice. So the hat is back and it's time to work out my TBR for June! Are we all excited? I am determined that this month's TBR Cluedo is gonna be better than last month because last month's just didn't have the vibe. It just, if you watched the video at the end I was kind of disappointed. It just wasn't a selection of books I was excited to read. So today we're gonna do better. Also are you crooked? I can't tell. I feel like I need a level to like work out. I am so bad at working out if my camera is crooked. I think you're okay. That better? I don't know. So yeah, without further ado, I don't think I've got anything to tell you other than we're having good vibes for this TBR. I'm determined. Shall we just get into it? I haven't anything else to say. So let's just get into the first roll. Okay, time for roll number one. Person number seven, which is brown over here in horror. Let's see how many we roll. We've got a three and a two. Okay, easy. I'm just gonna go one, two. And that is number 27, which is a book rated three stars on Goodreads. So roll number one was a horror that is rated three stars on Goodreads. This is any book that's three-point something on Goodreads. And this book, it's categorized as historical, as horror, as sci-fi on Goodreads. I don't really know what its actual genre is, but we're going with it. And that is The Daughter of Dr. Moro by Sylvia Monagassia. I don't know whether it's been shelved as horror just because Mexican Gothic was horror. I don't know if it actually is horror. We're going with it because it's shelved as horror on Goodreads. And I can't remember what the rating of this was, but it is three-point something. So here you go. I'll put it up on the screen. I am ridiculously excited to read this. I really loved Mexican Gothic when I read it quite recently. And this one is called The Daughter of Dr. Moro, which if you know me, you know one of my favorite books ever is The Strange Case of the Outcome's Daughter. And in that we have Catherine Moro, who is like a creation of Dr. Moro. So I'm really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really excited to read another book that kind of takes on this historical fictional figure that I didn't know much about before that book that I've loved so much. I loved Catherine. So yeah, I'm excited to see that with a new take. So I think this is very science-y because obviously you've got The Doctor, but I don't want to know too much about it. I'm kind of... look at the pink edges by the way. After enjoying Mexican Gothic so much, we don't need to talk about Velvet more than I, because I didn't love that. But after loving Mexican Gothic so much, I am so excited to pick this up. I feel like Silvia Magasi is such an interesting author because all of her books do something different. She's constantly like crossing boundaries and like changing what genre she's writing in. And I love that. So I'm so excited for this. Roll number two. Person number one, which is green over there in fantasy. Let's see how many we roll. We've got a one and a two. Oh my god, can we get to anything? Okay yeah, we can go one, two, three. And that is number 16. That is a book with four or more words in the title. Next roll was a fantasy with four or more words in the title. And you guys are gonna absolutely... I can feel the anticipation behind the screen. I can feel it. You're gonna cry. I'm gonna be reading The T-Dragon Festival by Kei O'Neill. I am so excited to continue on this series. I think I'm probably gonna read this twice through when I read it. Like I just, I'm already so excited. No matter who you are, where you come from, if you've got a dream, there's no one out there that can stop you from achieving it. The vibe's gonna be perfect. I'm gonna light a candle. I'm gonna cozy up in bed. I'm gonna wear my favorite pajamas and I'm gonna read this one night and I'm so excited. So if you don't know, this is a graphic novel series where we're following these T-Dragons who brew tea through their leaves that they grow. And this is a prequel to the first book. The first one's The T-Dragon Society and this is a prequel. So we're following some of the characters that we met, the older characters in that book when they're younger. And I am just, it's finally happening. I've been putting off reading this series because like I say, I keep trying to save it for the perfect moment but I need to just read it because guess what? I can reread it over and over again. It's just the most beautiful illustrations. Like it's all so cozy and wholesome and I just love it. I can't tell you how much I love it. So I'm so excited to continue. I don't know how to contain my excitement, you guys. I just want more fantasy like this both in graphic novel and in novel format. Cozy fantasy. I know it's in at the moment but it just fills me with such joy. I don't know how to explain it to you. It fills me with such joy and happiness and we're finally gonna be reading it guys. I'm not putting it off any longer. Are you proud of me? Role number three, let's see how many we roll. Person number seven, which is brown over here again. Let's see if we can get to the rose prompt. That would be good. Got a three and a two. No, we can't. Let's just go one, two, three and get number 30 which is the wild card. Oh my God, I love when I get the wild card. It makes me so happy. Role number three was a wild card. Which means I can read anything. I can read anything that I want. I'm not constrained by genre. I'm not constrained by prompt and the pick that I'm picking for this because I have quite a few mysteries that I wanted to get to this month and spoiler that we don't really get to any of them in the rolls. So the one that I've chosen is The Floating Admiral by The Detection Club. So this I spoke about in the book haul lately but this is a mystery book as you can see Agatha Christie writes in this but it's by a member of The Detection Club which was a club of mystery authors in the 1930s and this book they each write a chapter of the mystery and it's just such a cool idea. I'm so excited. Maybe you can guess what I'm gonna be doing with this book. Let me get you a bit excited. Maybe you can guess. But yeah, I think it's such a cool idea. I think it could either be amazing or it could be shite because I don't know to what extent they like planned out plots with one another and like I don't know it's difficult to do well. I feel like it's kind of like a writing experiment more so than a book if that makes sense. It's like a writing when you're like practicing your writing it's like a I don't know let's all write a chapter of this book and see how it turns out. You know rather than like an actual planned out novel but I'm really really excited and it's going to introduce me to more you know golden age of crime mystery authors because I really want to read more. I really want to get into Dorothy Elsayers. I've never had anything for Dorothy Elsayers. Anthony Berkeley has a chapter in this who was the Winchringham mystery author was that that was a video where I tried to solve the mystery if you guys have seen that where I had my crime board up there. So I'm excited to read from him again but I'm excited to read from all these authors and see what I think. Also I think the cover is really cute. It's really cool. Anyways I like the colours. The colours on the cover. Row number four. Person number five which is white over here in nonfiction. Let's see how we're going to roll. We've got a four and a three. What can I get? Which one can I get to in that? Can I go one, two, three, four? There we go. That is number ten which is a gifted book. Row four was a nonfiction that was gifted to me and for this I am going with Unwell Women by Emma Cleckhorn. This was gifted to me by my boyfriend's mum or grandma. I can't remember. I think I said this before. I think his mum picked it out but it was from his grandma for Christmas one year and I'd never heard of it and since then I've mentioned it so many times talking about how I want to read it and I never have and you guys have been waiting for me. It's finally happening. This is all about women and women and medicine and how medicine is very male dominated. You know our understanding of medical conditions is male centric and women's health issues. So like the menopause for example is still to this day misunderstood and underfunded in terms of our research into it but let alone throughout history. So I am so excited to read this. I've been waiting for ages. You guys are probably like, girl I only took you 10 years. I apologize. I apologize. I really want to be reading more nonfiction. You guys hear me say that all the time but I have not read enough nonfiction this year so far so I'm excited to get into more. I have heard mixings about this. A few of you have read this and loved it. A few of you have read this and said it kind of didn't do it for me but I'm excited to see what I think finally. It's finally happening. You guys, you don't have to wait any longer. I'm so proud of me. Look at all these books that I'm not putting off any longer. Roll number five. Person number one again over here in fantasy. Let's see how many we roll. Got a one and a five. What can I get two in that? One, two, three, four, five. There we go. That is number 24 which is a book over 400 pages. Oh my god. Roll number five was a fantasy over 400 pages. Yay. So we're going to read a long book and so I decided to give this to my book club because if I've got to read a long book, they've got to read a long book. And the choices I gave them were Blood Like Magic by Lizelle Sambry, A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross, The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah, and This All Foot by Jenna Rose Nevercott. And sometimes we have months where there's like two books that are battling out like who's going to win. That's happened quite a lot this year so far. If you don't know, sorry, I didn't say explain this to you. If you haven't, if you're new, I give one round of tbc to my patrons every month to vote on and that is our book club pick. So yeah, sometimes we have two that like battling out to win. This month we had a clear winner and that is A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross. I'm going to be honest, I don't know too much about it. People have been saying it's cosy fantasy. When I've heard like people asking for more cosy fantasy recommendations, this has been coming up a lot. I think music is a big part of the magic system in this. I'm pretty sure there's like an island where someone, people are isolated and people like girls are going missing from this island. I'm not sure but I'm excited because if it's cosy fantasy, I'm gonna eat it up. I'm gonna eat it up. I'm gonna eat it up. I'm so excited. So yeah, I think it's also a good pick by them. It is another series. I'm starting another series but like what do you do? You know, like whatever. I'm really trying to finish more series this month, this coming month. I'm gonna hopefully finish off two at least, which you know, let's all be proud for small mercies. I will be reading this with my book club this month over on the Patreon. So if you want to come join us, the link is always down below. The start of the month is always the best time to join. So if you want to wait till the start of the month, that's always the best time to join or join now. It doesn't matter. Like we're still doing stuff over there. We've got reading sprints, early access to videos, there's a podcast, there's exclusive videos, there's all this stuff over there. So if you want to come join, link down below. I'm super excited to read this with them. Okay, final roll. Person number seven again. Oh my god. Let's try and get the rose prompt this time. Let's see how many we roll. We've got a one and a five. Can we get there with that? One, two, three, four, five, six. There we go. We've got the rose prompt. And then finally we got the rose prompt, girlies. We got the rose prompt, which is another Patreon inspired prompt. When everyone joins my Patreon, no matter what tier you are, you get to pick two becks off of my physical tbr that you would like me to read. They go into the pot. Let me get the pot. They go into this pot and then I pick one out of here. And I always get so nervous for this, but you guys always pick pretty well. So you know, okay, right. I'm going to try and reach in. I've always got to be careful when I put it out. Oh no, man down. Okay, we might get one I've already read. We might have to pick like five. Let's see. Okay. No, don't focus on me. Focus on the hands. Okay. What is that? What is that? Nevermore. Oh shit. Expecting that at all. Right. Let's find it. Another series, guys. It's going to be somewhere down here. Give me a second. Okay, two patrons chose this. We've got Vida and Jess Irons chose Nevermore. Oh my God. We're reading The Trials of Morgan Crow by Jessica Townsend. I just wrote Nevermore because The Trials of Morgan Crow has a long title. We're starting with the series. We're starting with the middle grade series, which I am notoriously the worst at finishing. Worse than at YA, worse than adult series. Like middle grade series, I always just read the first one and then if I continue, I'm so nervous. And I know this is a long series that like is still coming out. I know the next installment has just been pushed back a whole year. So like I'm never finishing this series. Anyways, I don't know too much about this. Morgan Crow's curse destined to die on her 11th birthday, but as the clock strikes midnight, she's whisked away. Oh yes, I remember. By a remarkable man to the secret city of Nevermore. Yes, Magic Society. Okay, I'm excited. But this is another series. So, Jess and Vida. But you know, a nice easy read, a nice comforting read. Again, this could be classed as cozy fantasy in some regards. I am excited. So many of you have tried to get me to read this for so long. So you feel like you go love Nevermore, read Nevermore. So, it's happening. And I'm okay with it. I'm okay with it. I'm okay with it. I know that the series, the series stuff is not, it's not going the best to see it guys. Let's just say that. Let's just say that. My goal, bear in mind, is just to have a net negative in terms of series. So just finish one more than I start. And I can't even do that apparently. Anyways, let's go get the TBR. So, this is, oh, I can't even hold it right. This is our June TBR. And you know what? I feel like I've accomplished the goal of this TBR being more exciting to me than Mays. Because this, I'm really excited to read all of these actually. I'm so excited. Even Nevermore has actually just got me, I'm actually really excited for it. So I'm hyped. I feel like we've got a good TBR here. Let me know if you've read any of these books and what you thought of them. I would love to know. Let me know which you're most excited to see me read because these will all be in vlogs in the next month or so. Some of them like, you know, sometimes I read the book in June and then the vlog comes out in July. But for the most part, this is all coming to in the next month or so. So let me know what you thought of any of these. If you got onto the end of the video, comment a magical emoji. Any emoji that makes you think of magic down below for Nevermore? I can't believe it. Okay. And I'll see you guys soon in another video. Bye!
