 Who's ready to make a TBR for probably one of my favorite reading months? I love reading in November, so let's find out what I'm going to be reading! Hello, detectives! Hi! Welcome to November's edition of TBR Cludo, my TBR game. We've been doing this for a long time. If you're new here, if you want to find out the rules, you can go check out the first video, but it's also pretty easy to just figure out as we go along. There's different rooms in this game which correlate to genres and then I get a prompt and I have to read a book that fits that prompt in that genre. It's essentially the idea. Skillshare is the sponsor of this video but we'll talk about that a little bit later. And today we're going to be figuring out my TBR for November. I love reading in November. November to me screams mysteries, it screams like coziness, reading by the fire. I don't have a fire but like I can put an ambience video on YouTube. It's a lot of fantasies and when I feel the fantasy it is my reality. So yeah, TBR Cludo is in control of what I'm reading in November. I do want to preface this video by saying the books that TBR Cludo made me pick I actually don't currently have. There's a lot of books on the way to me for various videos. I have other books that you know I have to read for other videos. The ones I have, it didn't really want to pick. The ones that are on their way to me and have been delayed, it wanted to pick. So we're gonna have a lot of pictures of books today because yeah, TBR Cludo is like I just want to make life hard for you. You know what I mean? But anyways, let's just get into finding out what TBR Cludo picked for me this month. Okay, time for roll one. Person number eight which is blue over here. Let's see how many we roll. Got one out of five. Let's go one, two, three, four, five, six to number 17 which is a book out of your comfort zone. So roll one was a contemporary that is out of my comfort zone and for this I have picked Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevint. I think that's the right amount of tomorrows. I never thought I'd be reading this book. Thanks for the opportunity. Sorry, hang on Mark, sorry I'm a bit scared. I need to see. Can you get me out of here? This is a little new release that came out this year that I was like that's just not for me. I'm just not gonna be reading it. Turns out I am. I just have to trust without spoiling anything the way that this has been chosen for me means that I will enjoy it and I just have to put my faith in the choosing process and I have to read it. So all I really know about it is that it's about gaming like a video game creation about two characters who like love each other but like come in and out of each other's lives. I just like I'm not the biggest fan of like video games. I don't think I'm like in video game culture. I mean I like I play The Sims, Brats for Angels and Forever Diamonds. I mean Gamer Girl. It also it's like a contemporary with romance. I don't read a ton of that. I just don't know if it's for me. I really don't know if it's for me but it's been chosen for me. I have to read it and then TVL could have doubled down. I was like yeah bitch you're not getting out of this one. You have to read it. So I'm reading it. I'm intrigued to see what I think of it. I am nervous but let's just give it a go and see what happens. But yeah this one is definitely out of my comfort zone. Roll number two. Person number three which is red over here. Let's see how many we roll. We've got a two and a two. Let's just go one, two, three, four to number 27 which is a book rated three stars on Goodreads. Okay so roll two was a historical that is rated three stars on Goodreads. This is any book on Goodreads that is three point something. So you know I'd say like an average rating for a book on Goodreads is probably like four. So it's a little bit or maybe like 3.8. So it's a little bit of a less liked book but still a book that I'm interested in reading and this is the one that I gave to my patrons right on. So my patrons write on one round of tbl clear every month and then that ends up being a book club pick for month. So the options that I gave them or ones I'm really excited to read so I was like pretty much I was happy with whatever they picked. So the options that they had were Velvet was the Night by Sylvia Moreno-Garcia, People of Abandoned Character by Claire Whitfield, The Live Tree by Frances Harding, and The Wolf and the Woodsmen by Ava Reed. Now it was pretty close between The Wolf and the Woodsmen and Velvet was the Night but in the end was 51% of the vote was Velvet was the Night by Sylvia Moreno-Garcia. I'm so excited. So basically in November and it's not in tbl clear day it didn't fit any prompts but I'm also going to be reading The Daughter of Dr. Moreno by Sylvia Moreno-Garcia and this which means I'm reading my first two Sylvia Moreno-Garcia's in November and I'm still yet to read Mexican Gothic which is the first one I bought and the one that everyone probably wants me to read so. Hey, clown. Jester. You have done it again. Constantly raising the bar for the circus and doing it foolishly. I don't know too much about this other than it's set in Mexico City in the 1970s. I know we're following two characters. One is a student. Is she a student? Yeah, she's a student and then the other's a, this is a goon for hire and they are both trying to uncover a mystery of I think the student's friend has gone missing and they're trying to figure out what has happened. I really love the vibes especially the back like just the font they use and the imagery. I like I get the vibe. I get the vibe Sylvia. So yeah, still not going to be reading Mexican Gothic but I am going to be reading Velvet with my patrons in November. If you want to come join us, the link's always down below in the description. I love my patron. I love chilling out with everyone on there. I'm reading sprints, quiz nights, movie nights. We do so much over there, early access to videos. If you're on a top tier you get two of the TBR Kudo books and a personal letter sent out to you. So go check it out down below if you've ever thought about it, thought about coming and joining us. But yeah, we're going to be reading Velvet with the Knights together in November and I'm very, very excited. I think this is kind of different than any other book we've read in the book club so far. But before we get into the rest of the roles, I want to thank the sponsor of today's video which is Skillshare. Have a specific skill we're trying to learn?

I've spoken to you guys a lot about skills-based courses I've done in the past that are very, you know, skills like tech, tech-based so like video editing or photography is kind of the stuff that I've done a lot of before but I'm wanting to do more courses now that are more maybe lifestyle, holistic, looking at my life as a broader picture. So one I'm really enjoying right now is Plants at Home, Uplift Your Spirit and Space by Christopher Griffin aka Plant Queen. When I envisage my perfect home, plants are definitely very, very present and so I've been loving him from an expert on the best beginner plants, how to best take care of them, how to, you know, arrange them in the space that you have.

Okay let's get back into the rolls. Next roll, person number seven which is brown over here in horror. Let's see how many we roll. Oh my goodness, I've got a four and a four. Okay this room's very tight so what can we do with that? Can we do one, two, three, four? Oh we can. Okay that is number 19 which is a book I've hauled recently. So roll three was a horror that I have hauled recently. Now this is technically, I'm like pushing it here because because I haven't technically hauled this yet. It's on its way to me but it is The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward. Now this is another one I don't know too much about. I'm gonna be honest with you, it's another one that has been chosen for me. This is a book that I've always been interested in. It was on like my wish list and stuff so I've always been interested in reading it but I don't know, I think I'm gonna go to Bastard Robbins. I know there's a cat. Let's look up the description together. The story of a serial killer, a chosen child, revenge, death, an ordinary house at the end of an ordinary street. All of these things are true and yet they're all lies. Interesting, I just know there's a cat. You know that's all, I'm pretty sure there's a cat at least. That's all I've heard people talk about. But yeah, this is a horror that I feel like a lot of people were reading towards the end of last year but I'm super intrigued to see what I think of it. I know a lot of people have rated this super high. I almost bought it at the end of last year but we're reading it at the end of this year instead so we eventually got around to it. I really need to get some mystery. I've got a lot of mystery to read and we haven't got any mystery yet. Person number three which is red. Okay we can make this work because the rooms are connected. Let's see how many we roll. Oh my goodness. A four and a two. Okay what can we get to in mystery with that? Let's go one, two, three, four, five, six. Okay which is number one which is a new to me author. So roll four, we finally got into the mysteries. I have a lot of mysteries I want to read this month and TVO Kudo was just not cooperating. It was like contemporary, horror, historical, anything but mystery. But the prompt was a new to me author and I have chosen Killers of a Certain Age by Diana Ray Bond. Now I only realized I did my whole unread to TBR the other the other week where I went through every single book on my TBR and I only realized when doing that this is by the author of the Veronica Speedwell series. I've connected the two dots. You didn't connect shit but I've connected them. I didn't realize that and all of you are like Megan why are you reading this one instead of Veronica Speedwell. It's because that's the series and listen once we're in January the series constraints go off but I do like it is a big goal of mine this year and I want to get the number as long as possible. There's already a few more books I'm going to have to read this year that means I'm starting new series and I haven't got any plans to finish other series and it's really plaguing me. But anyways I am super excited to read this. I think this is a standalone and this is about I think this group how many women? Four women who were like the most notorious assassins for hire essentially but now they're elderly and they're struggling to let go of their past. This sounds right out of my street I love older characters in fiction at the moment. I'm trying to read more than just mystery it's obviously a very big trend in mystery especially in the UK I feel like because of the Thursday murder club for older characters to be a mystery but I want to read it in all genres. I really want fantasy if anyone knows any fantasy with older characters I'm like I'm ready because so much of what we read is like 20 to 30 year olds basically and like after that not much. And this is going to be my introduction to Diana Raybons maybe if I love this I'll just have to read the Veronica Speedroll series but listen it's like seven books long so starting that is definitely a commitment but yeah I am super excited to get to this this month. Okay two more roles person number two which is purple oh my god great okay we're finally getting the mystery um let's see how many we roll a six and a two um let's just go one two which is number eight which is a 2022 release. Then roll five we had another mystery and that was a 2022 release and I think you guys are going to be very glad to hear I'm going to read the bullet that missed by Richard Osmond. I'm so excited! I just can't wait so many of you know I love this series it's one of my favorite series the Thursday matter club series by Richard Osmond. I'm so excited I think I'm going to prefer the second one I gave a second five stars I loved it but I don't know if it's even going to be my top 10 of the year whereas Thursday matter club was my favorite or secondary book of last year. I always get that and I want some future which is mixed up but both of those interestingly were read in November last year. It's a conspiracy theory that I'm actually interested in. I just like November is good reading vibes for me. November always like I just love reading in November I don't know why. This is the third in the series we're following a group of friends who used to run a Thursday murder club where they tried to solve cold cases but now murders are turning up on their doorstep. This one it says a new foe pays Elizabeth a visit her mission kill or be killed. On the back it says four unlikely friends a murder with nobody and trouble knocking at their door how exciting. I just can't wait to read this this is such a comfort read for me I will probably like fly through it in an evening if I'm honest with you I love it I love it I love it I love it and I can't wait to read it. Okay final roll person number one which is green let's see how many we roll got one and a five let's just go one two three four five which is number five which is something with blue on the cover and then finally roll six was a fantasy with blue on the cover and I have chosen I cannot remember the title it's a long title the very irregular secret society no very secret society of irregular witches is that it I don't know it's here and there's blue on the cover in the UK edition you know blue on the sky I think there's some blue on the car um this is another one that's been chosen for me for a vlog that's coming up this month and I'm actually so excited this is one that was very high on my radar already I just hadn't got round to getting it yet it reminds me I mean the cover is literally house in a serenity like it's been traced and coloured in a bit differently so I reckon that's the vibe we're going with and I loved house in a serenity I feel like I could even let this is like brave words to me but I feel like I could even love this more in house in a serenity because I love witches as well this is something I was thinking about this I did a five star audit where I went through and found correlations with what I love what I give five stars in books often and witches I forgot witches but which I love interesting question can you shut up she was very f***ing rude weren't you I forgot how much I love witches maybe because I said sisters and often I love like the sisters I love like the ones future witches are also witches but I'm so in I'm so into voguing right now like I'm so into witches right now so I could love this even more cozy fantasy with witches oh I'm getting a bit emotional thinking what is wrong with me you know when you I actually got a bit choked up there thinking about a cozy fantasy with witches because I am so beyond excited for it is that great that's that was not a fake I generally choked up like my heart got in my chair whoa that was a lot Megan but yeah I'm going to be reading this this month I'm so excited I think I'm going to adore it um and yeah hopefully I will so there we have it that is TBR Clido for the month of November I am so excited for the books I'm going to be reading November I've got about to 10 billion books to read so I really need to up my reading page and just like read read read read read read but um yeah let me know what you're going to be reading in November let me know if you've read any of these books which ones you're most excited to see me read maybe you want to have your eye on some of them and want to see what I think I am glad to be of service and if you go to the end comment a magnifying glass magnifying I was going to say just magnifying emoji magnifying glass emoji in the comments down below thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see you very soon in another video bye
