 Hey guys it's Tilly and today I'm here with a big big book haul. I haven't filmed in so long and in this time I have accumulated a huge amount of books. I recently started working in a bookstore and when I say recently I mean like almost six months now and I get so many books from work whether that's ones that I buy myself or whether that is ones that I actually get from publishers and things like that or damaged copies but basically I will eventually die under a pile of unread books because I just cannot keep up with the amount of books I read versus how many I am getting. So let's get started. I have 87 books that I have recently got. I don't want to make this video way too long for you guys so I'm going to kind of be quick going through them. I'm not going to talk about every single book in this video. I have read some of these already so I'm going to start off talking to you guys about the books that I have read and that I got in this time. So first up we have An Unkindness of Magicians by Kat Howard. I bought this book for the stunning cover. It was just sitting on the shelf and finally I was like fine you can come home with me and I didn't bother to read the back of this. I went to this book completely blind and I was actually really pleasantly surprised. So I gave about a four, four and a half star rating out of five basically to set in this world modern day world where you have witches and they have their own hierarchy. So every couple of decades all the houses will fight together. Whoever came out on top ruled the entire magical world. So once again that has happened and all these different houses and all these different characters it is told from multiple perspectives have to basically battle it out to find out who is going to rule the hierarchy. But it's a really dark story. There are twisted tales in this and I've really really enjoyed it. It is a great fantasy and there's one aspect of the book that I didn't like but other than that it was pretty amazing and the characters themselves were forward realistic and just wonderful. I literally just stayed up like four hours past my bed time to finish this book last night. I only started it yesterday and it is the last of a trilogy but it was so good and I just wanted to know what happened and that is Here at the Fall by Alwyn Hamilton. The first book in this trilogy is Rebel of the Sands and I honestly loved it so so much. So I gave this one a 4.5 out of 5 stars and if you guys are looking for a really amazing young adult read I definitely recommend picking this one up. This is a fantasy trilogy and it has so many amazing aspects in it from the sunny covers to amazing characters, fantastic writing and even better plot line. I highly recommend it. Lifelike by Jay Kristoff. This was amazing. I absolutely loved this book and when I first started it I was the kind of bit like iffy. I wasn't too sure. There was like so much happening that I was like kind of intimidated by the story but then you very quickly get sucked into this. Basically from the first chapter you will not want to put this book down. It is an epic sci-fi like going back to like classic sci-fi novels. It is one that I really enjoyed and the ending I just could not pick it from afar at all. But if you guys do like anything by Jay Kristoff definitely pick it up. If you like sci-fi definitely pick it up. If you trust my reviews pick it up. And while we're on the topic of Jay Kristoff we have Obsidio which is a third book in the Illuminae files. This one is by Jay Kristoff and Amy Kaufman and I probably rate this one out of the trilogy my least favorite in saying that I obviously did enjoy the story. I love the Illuminae files but the ending of this one just let me down a little bit. I didn't think it stood in the same hype as the first two books deserve but in saying that I did love the new characters and I also feel like there was just too many people's perspectives that this book needed to include that no one really got to goes in depth as I did with the first two books. But I still enjoyed it and I kind of think I might do a reread of the first two soon because I just I just love this whole series. I was also lucky enough to get an A-R-C of Whisper by Lennonet Noni. I was very excited about this. I absolutely love Lennonet Noni's books but with Whisper I was kind of really let down and I hate saying mean things about books which is kind of a lie. I actually kind of like talking about bad books because I think that it's a good way that everyone kind of relates to one another. I've definitely bonded over books with people that I dislike more than books that I like but I'm getting sidetracked now because I didn't despise this book. I absolutely love Lennonet Noni but the storyline and the characters in this were just not up to par with the usual standards and there were so many kind of flaws that I didn't enjoy as much as I wish that I could have. Basically have this girl who has this amazing power that she is scared to use because it can kill so many people like it is very very dangerous. The words that she speak can come true so things like oh I wish everybody was dead and that everybody could die and so she has been locked up in this like prison kind of place that has been trying to find out if she's magical trying to get a talk for two years absolutely torturing the shit out of her and then this guy comes in and he's like oh like I'm gonna take over I'm gonna help you out and basically the story ensues. If you guys do want to hear me spoil around about this let me know because I will but there were just some parts that I couldn't get behind in this. I kind of went through a patch of my reading stage but everything that I read just wasn't very good and that includes a very hyped up novella which is A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Marth. I in all fairness wasn't expecting this to be a novella I just got lazy and I didn't read about it I didn't really bother to look at anything I just kind of assumed it was a book coming out but it is a novella it is very short compared to the other books and it follows the gang around the winter solstice and I really liked Farah in this book I don't usually care too much about Farah but I really liked it and I like the aspect that she was kind of trying to move on from the war and cope with it and deal with everything as well but there were definitely parts to this book that was super pointless characters who were super stupid and a lot of things that just didn't need to be there this whole book was kind of pointless except for the last chapter and if you guys would like to once again hear me spoiler rights about this one let me know because I can go on about it for a while I also really can't stop buying different editions of theories that I like so I bought the epic 10 year anniversary editions of The Knife of the Neverletting Go by Patrick Ness these are stunning beautiful black books just like my soul and I absolutely love the storyline um if you guys do get a chance to read these these are really good dystopian novels these books are some of my all-time favorites and it's going to be a movie soon too so you guys may as well just read the book before the movie because the books are always better so it follows a young boy called Todd who lives in a town filled with men and you can hear each other's thoughts that includes Todd's dog Manchi who originally opens up this book saying I need a poo Todd it's wonderful I highly recommend it and then one day when Todd is going to become a man he discovers a really bad secret about all the men that he live with and then he runs into a girl he has never seen a girl and the worst part is he can't even hear her thoughts and so his adventure ensues and you get to watch these characters basically run for their lives and it is amazing now because my ratio for books is so terrible all the ones that I'm going to show you now are ones that I have not read yet so now we have Blue Planet 2 this is basically about the ocean and the marine life in the world and I'm just stunning it it's filled with some really really stunning photos in this as well look at those look at those crabs crabbing around look at the seal just like killing that fish turtle just to add to my lesbian collection of books I got Little Woman by Luisa May Alcott in this stunning stunning edition I could not go past this beautiful bright pink book or baby pink book I think that's the color that people say but I love it it is so pretty and like where I stand at work I can just see this on the back shelf and every day I go in there I can just see it looking at me and I look back at it and finally other than our relationship become real and I brought her home with me to live forever I recently discovered Salve's and when I was there I picked up these two gorgeous poetry books so this is Australian poetry and short stories 200 years worth apparently and I got both of these books for five dollars and 25 cents next up I'm going to show you guys my graphic novels I picked up in real life by Cori Doctorow and Jen Wang I've heard really great things about this book and I've seen a lot of really really stunning artwork so I thought that it may as well pick it up Captain Phasma which is a Star Wars comic and I'm very excited to get around to reading this I absolutely love Star Wars and so I've kind of just like started collecting all different Star Wars comic books because we sell quite a few so it's a shame that they cost so much money like this one here is 35 dollars I don't have 35 dollars then I've also got Dark Times which is volume two this is the parallels books this one's also a Star Wars graphic novel and this one's pretty interesting it kind of like doesn't follow all the mainstream characters in the movies so I'm pretty keen to like finish reading these I could not go past Darth Maul either I love Darth Maul as a character and I think he is a way more screen time and a better storyline and I hope that they do a spin-off movie for him because he just deserved better he was an awesome villain and he just died way too easily and lastly I also got this Star Wars Darth Vader color your own book I got this from a book sale and originally I just grabbed it because I thought it was a comic but it's color your own so like you know it's just pretty cool drawings of Darth Vader and stuff so yeah I'm still gonna keep that then we have Piper this one's by Jay Asher and Jessica Freberg basically what made me pick up this book was this one sentence on here which is what if the boy of your dreams becomes your worst nightmare so I'm really hoping that like the pipe is evil as heck and this girl's all just like oh man living in the woods this is a great life for me and then he's all like charms her and tries to kill her and then she has to try and kill him it's gonna be real interesting but it probably won't be like that at all then I also got a clue I was really intrigued by this it's basically Cluto as a graphic novel and I kind of really love Cluto to the point where I just I just want to throw a Cluto party I did it when I was younger once and it was like super super fun so I really want to just play Cluto in real life I want to be the murderer the drive by Jane Harper I know this book is fantastic it is a crime novel and I know that I'm going to love it I just need to get around to reading it Jane Harper this is her first book that she wrote she now has force of nature which once again is absolutely booming everyone is in love with it and I'm really excited I've heard amazing things and I recommend it to a lot of people already I got Cat Person by Kristen Ropinian I think um I got this one as a gift and apparently it's really really great so it says it's a bad date that went viral it's a short story that is about cats and women I think and yes keen my absolute darling by Gabriel Talant so this one is pretty much like a really high literature book you have a young girl called Turtle she's been raised by her father she's been homeschooled by her father and when she goes to regular school because she is forced to go she discovers that the way that her father has been mistreating her is not how a child should be treated so this is a very heavy book from what I understand but it's also one that is very fulfilling in the end it's a coming of age story and it's just one that is really highly acclaimed so I'm expecting good things out of this one the Junedlub YA book club the next book club book is Neverland by Margot McGovern and this book I'm pretty sure is going to be a really nice contemporary read with a bit of a fantasy twist so you have a young girl who hasn't really had a very good childhood um I'm pretty sure that she is actually in a mental hospital oh no she goes to school with damaged teens who are 260 in regular school which is washed out by her psychiatric uncle so she starts going to school there but the way that she coaxes a lot of things is putting herself into a fantasy world but I look forward to this one I think I'm probably gonna cry in it um so let's let's look forward to that Eleanor Olyphant is completely fine once again this novel has just basically been like selling off the shelves everybody's after it and apparently it is amazing I got Last Shop which is a Star Wars novel this is a Han and Lando novel and I really can't wait to read it I absolutely love Lando so I can't wait um I also haven't watched the new movie Solar yet but if you guys have watched it let me know how it is because I haven't heard very many great reviews and it makes me sad because I kind of love everything Star Wars then we also have The Beast's Heart by Lea Fair Shellcross this is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast and it's been described to be a very emotional read it's kind of like The Beast's Heart is laid out bare for you in this book and I think it's going to be great I really like the cover and the shiny like copper of it then we've got The Smoke Thieves by Sally Green um Sally Green wrote Half Bad um and I really enjoyed the first book in that so I'm hoping that I'll enjoy this one as well um if I tell you by Alicia Tuckerman and this book features two girls falling in love which is what we're all here for um and it's also signed I got this signed because she was at one of our book clubs that I went to um and she was really kind and I just need to actually get around to reading the story but I'm pretty excited she's a local Australian author too so it's definitely worth looking at and also with Australian authors I picked up Tim Winton's new book The Shepard Tart um I actually did an event with him at work and so once again I just picked up the copy because I could get a signed copy and I do that all the time there we go this is probably why I have like no money is because I buy books a lot because I like the way that they look I also buy a lot of books because if I can get them signed why wouldn't you get a signed book and I also have a problem with just buying any book that someone says is good even if I don't need to read anything because I have so many books to read already okay I'm sorry I know the video's getting long so I'll be quick The Cool Prince by Holly Black everyone who says Holly Black is um we have Phasma another Star Wars novel this one I have read and it is fantastic we have The Ruin by Devlin McTiernan this is an Australian author as well which is also a signed copy because I'm me it is a fantastic crime book and everyone at my work absolutely loves it and I love it too The Hazelwood by Melissa Albert this is a young adult book that's kind of like fairy tales and a girl kind of traveling through the woods that contains the fairy tales Leia on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli this is by the same author who wrote Simon versus the home of safety's agenda and the upside of unrequited um this has actually got the same characters from Love Simon in it so it should be good Skythe by Neil Shusterman and I've heard amazing things about this book it is a fantasy book the second one just came out and I'm going to read this soon The Ren Hunt by Mary Watson stunning cover pretty book it's a fantasy one that we should enjoy The Delilah Must Cat by David Mitchie The Queen's Rising by The Queen's Rising by Rebecca Ross The Bells by Dehaniel Clayton and I really can't wait to read this one because it sounds like it's going to be amazing plus I've heard really great things about it Wind Witch by Susan Dennard um I haven't actually got through to reading the first book yet I think this is the second book I received this one through work so I'm not too sure all that I know is that I want to read this series so I thought I may as well get the second or third or whatever book this is in it so that I can read it The Space Between the Stars by Ann Corlett Zignith by Sasha Alsberg and Lindsay Cummings I haven't heard very much about this book I've kind of been putting off buying it for a little while I'm not too sure why but I finally did I just don't know when I'm actually going to read it so this is a sci-fi novel if I can remember correctly it is definitely Young Adults and um mostly it's known because Sasha Alsberg is a huge booktuber and many people like her so I'm sure the book should be decent this adorable as heck book which is called Perfect Imperfections by Alex Kearns and this one is basically filled with dogs that have disabilities and it is pure and amazing and let me just find you some look at Savannah or perhaps even Louis or Miss Darling Gorgeous Maya it is pure it is wholesome it is everything that I didn't know that I wanted until now right you left me by Keller Devlin Hunting Prince Dracula by Carrie Munn Skalko and I also have stalking Jack the Ripper that has the same cover I'm pretty sure it's the same author but I cannot confirm and I haven't read that one yet I'm a piece of trash. Charlotte's Web by E.B White I'm sure everyone's heard about Charlotte's Web it's a classic and if you haven't you need to read Charlotte's Web. The newest book by Sarah Rush so she wrote the Snow Like Ashes trilogy so this is her new one that she's creating was called These Rebel Waves and I'm already so unbought with this book because I love any book to do with the ocean especially there is pirates I love pirates that reminds me there's another book I need to show you guys Tequila Kingdom by Alexander Christo I read this book I love this book it's a retelling of the little mermaid exit the little mermaid is the siren that only kills princes and steals their hearts and watches them die then puts the hearts in her bedroom floor that is who the little mermaid is and then you also have the prince the prince who all he wants to do is sail the oceans and cleanse it of all these sirens especially the one that is out there killing princes and all of a sudden their worlds collide and it is amazing it is a brutal novel and I loved everything about it it was so good Silver Stars by Michael Grant this is the second book in that series that I can't remember the name of basically it's like World War II but women can fight so we're probably gonna kick ass Dreamland by Sarah Desson I haven't actually read any Sarah Desson books but I have heard it's just quite amazing so I'm gonna read Sarah Desson Always Forever and Maybe by Anika Moro's Rissy and this one is stunning um once again I've heard good things about it so hopefully it'll be great this next one I'm so excited to read it's by R.L. Stein you know the goosebumps person and this one is Return to Fear Street you may now kill the bride and basically it's like a curse at someone a family that whenever you get married the husband kind of wants to just murder them so you get to follow two perspectives of two different people in this family who are recently getting married they're probably gonna die but we'll find out another huge hyped book is 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson this is a motivational book and one of my friends is like obsessed with this guy and a freight copy came up at work so I was like oh I guess I can see what it's all about City of Crows by Chris Wormsley this one is a fiction novel I believe um it is historical though it is set in 1673 um I kind of would have assumed it's a fantasy but I won't know until I read it Hulled by Michael Duncan Cross her Heart by Sarah Pimbras is a crime novel biography of Anne Alley it's called Finding My Place Anne Alley is beautiful and I can't wait to read this I'm pretty excited for this crime novel which is mine by Susie Fox basically this woman's child is taken from her as soon as she gives birth to it and it is the story that follows that Dark Angels by Ron Thomas Beyond a Dark and Shore by Jessica Leak this adorable hardcover of Alice through the looking glass by Lewis Carroll The Trials of Apollo the Dark Prophecy by Rick Rodden Waterhole by Fianna Bell Convergence by Marita Smith do you like me now by Holly Bourne Once by Maurice Glitzman Virgins by Diana Gabaldon and this was actually a really funny story a customer came in to return this book um but he wasn't allowed to return it because it was like from something like six or seven months ago and he didn't want to take the book home because he knew that his wife would be mad at him because she told him to return and within the correct dates so he was literally like begging us to take this book off his hands otherwise he was like I'm gonna get in trouble otherwise she's gonna find out and I don't want to get yelled at so basically I got a book because a customer was scared of his wife and I think in all fairness I would be scared too the absolutely adorable story by Lani Taylor Night of Cake and Puppets and Lani Taylor is like such a beautiful and fantastic author I will read absolutely anything by her The Tall Man by Phoebe Locke and I'm actually very intrigued by this it is a thriller novel that is a YA and I've heard crazy things about what this story is based upon I really think I'm getting into crime um I really strangely without judging me as a character you guys really I'm into watching those really screwed up like murder documentaries at the moment so when I read a crime novel like I'm looking for that shock factor I don't want to say like bad stuff happened I want to be like oh my god this is crazy how can someone even think about writing this because I just like that shock factor now we have a dog's journey by Bruce Cameron I watch a dog's purpose and I cried my eyes out so we'll see how I'll go with that one where the light gets in by Lucy Dillon Mun Mun by Jesse Andrews Jesse Andrews wrote that other book Me, Elle, and the Dying Girl and then he goes and writes this book Mun Mun what is this title first of all and secondly this book is so strange so basically it's set in a world where you are the size of your wealth so right now I would be an ant but there are people out there who are the size of giants and and big buildings skyscrapers and you get our main characters who want to work their way up in the world they want to go from the size of an ant next to me into this giant dinosaur basically The Walking Fire by Anthony Ryan and I really do want to read this I love dragons love dragons this is The Invasion which is the second book in the Greyland by Peter Ogulan this is a really wicked series if you guys haven't read it you need to read The Coal which is the first one it is basically around Irish folklore about like fairy circles and stuff like that but it's such a cool concept and it's quite a dark and twisted book but like you really enjoy it The Memory of Fire by Callie Bates Falling Short by Lex Colton and look at this cover like it's the simplicity like it is an an advanced readers copy still but like I just love it I love that kind of makes me want to grab a glass of wine too the twits by Roald Dahl I love Roald Dahl and I love these covers as well like I don't know when they started looking so cool but my editions from when I was younger are so ugly and battered Bones Land by Brendan Lawley The Hollow Tree by James Brogdon I am actually really excited for this next one it is written by Ava Dallaria who wrote Love Letters to the Dead and I absolutely love Love Letters to the Dead so I'm
