 Hey guys it's Tilly and it happened. It finally happened. I broke my book buying ban and I was doing so well. That's how frustrated I am and I just have such a weak mind when it comes to buying books. I was trying so hard but there were 15% of the Barnes and Nobles other ban classics at Dimx and how could I say no? And since I was going to break the book buying ban I thought I might as well throw in like two or three other books as well because if you're going to do it you might as well do it gloriously am I right? So this video is going to kind of be a mix up of a few different things I have got an unboxing to do which is the Way I Chronicles Echo Wild Box which is A Court of Wings and Rule which is a third book in Sarah J Masters A Court of Throne and Roses series and then I also have some of the books that I bought from a Dimx event that I attended and I also have one book on here which I got from one of the publishers so I'll go through this list and show you guys the books I bought and you guys can totally comment below on what bets you guys won because I only made it five months. Six if you want to kind of like drag it out a little bit more. So firstly we'll start with the Dimx event it was at Dimx Juntalup and this is the first time I've ever done a YA book club and it was so so good plus the added fact that I got to win a copy of A Court of Wings and Rule by Sarah J Masters. This book has just was just released on the day that we had the book club as well so it was like super exciting. The book of the month was Stranger Dreamwell by Lani Taylor. I have been in a reading someplace so I haven't actually managed to read it yet but it was still a really fun night and I'll leave a link to their Instagram and their Facebook page below if you guys want to check them out and support them as well and if you guys are in Perth you guys should totally attend it too. Now for books that I actually bought at the event the first one is the Letters to the Lost by Bridget Kemmer over cool. It's about a young girl called Juliet who writes letters to her dead mother and leaves them by the gravestone and one day Declan Murphy who is pretty much just like bad boy tough guy I'm guessing starts to read these letters and begins to respond them to them and they have his correspondence but little do they know they actually know each other in real life so it sounds like it's going to be a real like good girl goes to bad guy kind of typical story that I'm a total sucker for. Next up we have the book that I broke my book buying band for. I have actually been eyeing this off for a while but they're pretty expensive books and at the dimmings event they had 15% off all of the classics and I swear like one of the girls just narrowed her eyes down to me and just knew that it was going to be my weak point. Cool and it was it was and the one that I picked up was Les Mis by Victor Hugo and it's just like the most stunning copy I have seen of this book yet and like the culture and pages and just the cover and just everything about this is so so stunning and I don't want to open it or touch it or read it because it's so pretty and I just want to put it on my shelf and stare at it for like 60 years. Now for the fun part so dimmings has also just started doing blind dates with a book so I picked up two of them and I'm actually going to open them on here for you guys now so what I'm going to do is I'll read out what the little hints are first that you guys can try to guess it by the time I've opened it. So the first one says a badass heroine complex sibling relationship retelling of history slash royalty set in an unconventional eastern Europe and it is YA thick and I actually guessed this one like I think I guessed it soon as like I got home so it's kind of like if it's what I think it is I already own it but like the second book comes out soon so I can just like re-gift it to somebody or burn it. I'm kidding I like the book I'm not going to burn it. It's like Christmas all over again I just love getting packages. Oh cool you guys wrapped it twice thank you. Haha it's Anno Darken by Kirsten White I do actually own this book but I know one of my friends wanted to read it so I will give it to them but I thought this is what it was going to be and that's the second one I literally have no idea what it is so it says sweet and scorching romance Greek mythology politics and adventure kingdoms rise and fall for you. That's kind of messed up. A smart mouth soothsayer. A promise of fire the king maker chronicles by Amanda Bouchette. I haven't actually heard of this one before. This actually sounds really really interesting it sounds like it's gonna be a really good fantasy so basically it's set in a world where there is this all-power queen who is just ruling everything but really mean queen so like it's people want to rebel and people do choose to rebel and there's a young girl called Kat who has these hidden powers and she's hiding and she ends up being discovered by the rebellion and they want to use her to help fight the rebellion. If you guys have heard of this book before let me know what it was like and if you guys enjoyed it I think I'm gonna like it but it's kind of like I don't know it's just really weird that I actually have never heard of this book before so let me know what your thoughts are guys. As for the next book I would like to thank text publishing for sending this one out if you guys didn't know I absolutely love text publishing they're just like such a wonderful company and everyone that I deal with is so nice and they have so many great books and I'm just so thankful that they sent me out Still Life with Tornado by AS King. I have heard about this book and I've heard many great things about this book and I'm very excited to read it and although like I've read the blurb countless times I still don't think I can put it into my own words so I'm gonna read that out for you guys and try to be quick. 16 year old Sarah can no longer draw not a pair not her own hand it's a problem because as long as she can remember she has made the art. She might be having an existential crisis why can't I say that word why else is she suddenly running into past and future versions of herself as she skipped schools who wanted the urban ruins of Philadelphia or maybe she's finally waking up to the tornado that is her family the tornado that six years ago sent her once beloved older brother flying across the country for a reason she can't quite recall. After decades of staying together for the kids and building a family on a foundation of lies and domestic violence Sarah's parents have reached the end as Sarah herself often observes nothing about her pain is remotely original and yet it still hurts. I will leave a link to that one down in its Goodreads description. I will leave a link to that one below the Goodreads link shall be there why can't I speak I will leave the Goodreads link down in the description below for that book.
