Hello friends welcome back to my channel and welcome to TBR if you don't know TBR is my TBR game we play every month it's time for February babes I know this video is late okay because I got ill

read so is TBR Kudo going to be kind allow me to read those books when I have to read other books who knows we're gonna play TBR Kudo see what I have to read in February are we excited I know we are I already know we are but before we get into the video I want to say a big thank you to the sponsor of today's video which is Serious Readers so I love my Serious Light they make reading lights and I am obsessed with mine you guys know I've spoken about it a lot I use it every day I love it so much I have the high definition light which has a dimmer which is honestly game-changing because different times of the day whether it's dark or light I can have a different brightness I noticed before I had my reading light that I was getting really bad eye strain but the Serious Lights have daylight wavelength technology in them that replicates a daylight spectrum as closely as possible and what this means I always say it's like a breath of fresh air for my eyes when I'm reading now at night I feel so just alert awake I'm not getting eye strain I'm not falling asleep when reading which sometimes happens if I'm in like a dark room and trying to read your eyes and your brain are working a lot harder and it just makes reading so much easier and so much more enjoyable it has honestly leveled up my reading I feel like since I started using it I've been reading way more so I love it and I have got a code that gets you free international shipping they can make any kind of plug on the lights that you need you'll also get a free compact light worth 150 pounds with any purchase in the Serious Lights range what a free light worth 150 pounds so go check them out down below I love it so much and I cannot recommend it enough okay let's get into roll one of TBR Cludo okay roll number one let's see who we roll we've got person number two which is purple over there in romance let's see how many we roll oh my god we've got a five and a two okay can we get to that one one two three four five okay perfect that is number one which is a new to me author so roll one was a romance which is perfect for the month of love we've got a romance which is an author that is new to me and this is the choice that I gave to my patrons to vote on so if you don't know my patrons vote on one round or TBR Cludo every month and then that ends up being our book club pick for the month so that's how our book club pick is decided and the choices I gave them this month were part of your world by Abby Jimenez dating Dr. Dill by Nisha Sharma spoiler alert by Olivia Dade and After Love by Tanya Byrne and the book that won the poll unanimous well not unanimously but with over 50% of the vote is part of your world by Abby Jimenez I have heard so many good things I am so excited to read this with them I think it's about you know this couple who meet she's from the city he's from a farm and they kind of upend each other's lives and trying to figure out how their worlds can merge my mum read this and she loved it she went and bought loads of Abby Jimenez's backlist so I just had so many good things it's got such a high rating and they all seem really excited to read it so I'm super excited too you know romance isn't always my thing but I can give a romance five stars exemplifying the Allie Hayesward I also love Talia Hibbet so I'm hoping this will fall within the romance that I do love I does that sound like something you want it is well let me tell you you'll never get it so I'm hoping for great things so if you want to join me in reading this read it together we have a discussion live show I will leave the link down below if you've just done my patreon okay rule number two let's see who we roll person number three which is red over in historical it would be great to get into mystery I don't know if we can though so maybe we'll go for something in historical let's see let's go one two three four no that's not gonna work I'm trying to get to something in historical one two three four five one two three four five six no one two three four five six there we go so that is number 27 which is a book rated three stars on Goodreads so roll two was a historical that is rated three stars on Goodreads so this is anything that is three point something on Goodreads and this one just is it's three point nine four on Goodreads I'm choosing Lord Edgware Dyes by Agatha Christie yes this is a mystery but like it's historical it's set in the past okay what do you want from me yep yep yep yep I have a lot of mysteries read this one so I had to shoehorn this in here so this is the next in the Paro series for me I've got to read this and then I get to do a reread of Murdoch on the Orient Express which is the first Agatha Christie I ever read and what made me fall in love with Agatha Christie and murder mysteries really in general I don't really know what's about I never really need to know what the Paro books are about I'm only like can you see this list I'm only where am I up here I have all these Paro books to read anyways so it's about a woman who brags about killing her husband and then he is killed and Paro's trying to figure out did she actually do it or did someone else do it I don't know I love Paro they're like palette cleansers they are fun easy reads and I just love making my way making my way making my way downtown no making my way through them so I super excited to get into this this month it's just like comforting easy fun mysteries and I think I'm out of the Hastings era pretty much now hopefully does he narrate this I don't think he does I don't like Hastings okay I hate him I'm rubbing against him I just don't like the books he narrates as much so I think we're out of the woods on Hastings okay roll number three let's see how many we roll person number five which is white over here in Torah let's see how many we roll we've got a three and a six can we get the one because that would be very helpful because I've got a lot of books I need to read for themed reading vlogs and that's what that is for so okay let's see one two three four five six seven eight nine there we go we have got the wand which is a book in a themed reading book I just dropped it but that's what it is roll three was the wand which is a book that I need to read for a themed reading vlog so this is one of the weapons is not constrained by the room it is in with the weapons I have the choice I don't have to constrain them by the room they're in but I can so anyway so I'm in control but I'm out of control and I'm also um controlled so in a way I'm everything so say like I get random number generator I can random number generate my whole tbr or my shelf for that genre I can do either I have the power I make the rules I'm not going to use the rules don't apply gift because I just used that in my last video but just know if I hadn't it would be in there the book I have chosen is station 11 by Emily St John Mandel I'm gonna read this for a video will probably be out at the start of March but I do need to read this this month I don't know much about this I think it's about isn't like a group of actors in like a pandemic or after a pandemic where like civilization has collapsed I don't know but this is like a modern day classic I feel like everyone loves it I have heard nothing but wonderful things about this and I read my first Emily St John Mandel The Glass Hotel last year and I did enjoy it but I feel like this I even have a bigger chance of loving I really liked her writing I really liked the interesting stuff that she chose to focus on I don't know I really enjoyed it so I'm super excited to see what I think of station 11 I feel like almost everyone has read this now and I'm just behind the curve because I feel like it came out when I wasn't really reading like what 2016 if I had to guess oh 2014 yeah I kind of stopped I was stopping reading around 2015 until like 2018 so if it was a lot from that kind of era that I missed out on so I'm very excited to get into this okay roll number four person number one which is green over in fantasy let's see how many we roll oh my gosh a four and a five okay let's go one two three four two number 15 I can't hold anything right today what is what is that one that is oh a book that a booktuber hated okay well roll four was a fantasy that a booktuber has hated and I was like oh shit what am I gonna pick for this I realized I needed to finally read Book of Night by Holly Black yeah in terms of who hated this I know Jesse from Jesse the reader I think gave it two stars I think Ro gave it I think DNF did I remember singing on Goodreads so I mean this has been a university pretty much just like but I'm very nervous I've never read anything by Holly Black this is gonna be my Holly Black introduction which I'm not sure this is the best way to be introduced to her but hey it is what it is yeah people have not been loving this all I know about this I'm just gonna tell you only about the plot is that it sounds like a ninth house rip off and I love ninth house and I'm protective of it so like I'm not feeling the most confident I think it's about a girl with a dark past who tries to put itself behind her and there's magic and it's weird I don't know I haven't heard all the best things but sometimes when everyone else doesn't like a fantasy like not everyone loved ninth house ninth house has been a bit controversial I love it so maybe this will go well for me who knows okay time for a number five can I finally get mr brown here in mystery everyone pray for me nope pass number one let's see how many we roll got a two and a five can we go one two three four five yes we can that is number 20 which is where is it which is a title with one word okay then we have another fantasy t-bug that is determined not to let me read all the mystery books I need to read this month don't be fucking rude are you kidding me I need to read a lot of mystery books this month and it's like no the book that I have chosen is gallant by V.E. Schwab I'm really excited for this this is another one that I feel like came out for a big author last year this was not controversial in terms of opinion as book as book of the month book of night but um I still feel like not everyone loved it I just know it's about a girl who like gets a letter from her uncle something to her to his estate but she gets there he's dead she must not go out after dusk and always stay on the right side of the crumbling wall I've actually had a lot of people tell me that I'm gonna enjoy this I remember when it first came out there were a lot of people like on my patreon reading it and telling me I was gonna enjoy it I've also heard good things about the audiobook it's pretty short I'm just listen me and V.E. Schwab usually I have pretty good luck I've read I loved vicious five stars I loved adi larou five stars I didn't like avenge for I gave that two stars is that the only adi larou ever read oh no I've read one of her middle grade books but like I didn't love that so like we are a bit hit or miss so we are like love or not like but I'm hoping for good things from this okay final roll we have got oh my god we got number seven ah no I moved it we had number seven which is brown over here in mystery finally oh my god let's see how many we roll we have got a three and a two let's go one two three four five two number 23 which is a book under 300 pages and then finally on roll six it let me get into mystery too little too late honestly I have so many other books that I would have wanted to put on this list but oh well it's fine so it was mystery under 300 pages and I have picked a book that I have been so beyond excited to read for ages and it is your guide to not getting murdered in a quaint English village this is by Maureen Johnson and Jay Cooper I think Jay Cooper is the illustrator so this is just like it's very short it's like 120 pages it's like a tongue in cheek almost graphic novel making fun of the murder mystery genre and I'm just I've been so excited to read this I've been trying to save it for the perfect moment so it has like the characters usually find in these and like the ways people usually get murdered and I don't know all this stuff and I'm just so excited to read it it's just going to be something I can just sit down pretty much just read in one sitting but I am so excited I love anything that's like self-referential that is making fun of something I feel like that's kind of what I do but the reason I use memes is I like making fun of myself and they're kind of the easiest way to do it so so yeah I'm so I am so happy that I'm finally getting to read this I honestly can't wait it's one of my most anticipated books I think it's been a lot of fun so yeah so excited to read this later this month so there we have it that is my February TBR Clio TBR please let me know what you thought any of these books particularly like Book of Night and stuff like that Gallant like I need to know what you guys thought what am I letting myself into this month please let me know if you got to the end of the video comment the globe emoji like world part of your world comment the world emoji down below thank you guys so so much for watching and I'll see you very soon in another video bye
