 Welcome back to my channel. I hope you're good. So basically a couple days ago I was on books and others channel on a live and there are a few of us there Chanel Aaron Joel Molly and me and A few of them were talking about how they make like seasonal TBR videos instead of monthly because then it's a lot less Pressure and I just had like a light bulb moment. I was like You deserve an Oscar. You actually deserve an award. I'm gonna do a spring TBR Because my reading isn't It's not going great at the moment. I have read two books in March So I'm hoping that by talking about these books I picked eight out So if like eight is a reasonable number to pick out, I'm hoping that by talking about them I will make myself read. That's the aim of the game here So the first book on this list is a book I have hauled quite recently and it is a good girls guide to murder by Holly Jackson I hold this in my last video my book haul. I hold it in my book haul And a lot of you said that you think this is like the perfect book to get me out of a reading slump It is like a YA murder mystery where there was a murder in this girl's town And she wants to do like a research project because she doesn't believe that the correct person was What's the word? Convicted right? She doesn't believe it. She says no that's some bullshit I really like murder mystery I think like mystery as a genre is my favorite genre a lot of you just said like this is just super quick to read It's got loads of mixed media elements. So if you said like you stood up to like 5 a.m. Reading it So I'm feeling pretty pretty good about this. I don't know. I'm just in the mood for it Like it was never a book that was fully a top of my radar and then as soon as I received it I was like, why do I want to read you so bad right now? Like I'm totally in the mood I was already like kind of looking at it like You know like making eyes at it like Then loads of you were in the comments saying how you loved it and you think I'm gonna love it too And you think it's gonna get me at my reading slump So definitely when I want to get too soon you may notice that a lot of these books are quite short I'm in the mood for short books. The next one is come tumbling down by Sean and Maguire This is the just the fifth. Yes, it's the fifth in the way with children series Classic yeah This series is about like portal fantasy I'm sure you've heard of it where these kids like go to these worlds that are perfect for them and like Living these magical worlds with really unique rule systems And then some of the books are set at a school They go to afterwards to kind of help them Readjust to the world and I know in this one We are following Jack and Jill who we followed in the second one and in the first one a little bit So I'm really intrigued to see where their story is gonna go Sean and Maguire's writing is absolutely amazing the way That these these stories are written is so interesting like you become so absorbed in it in such a short period of time Jack and Jill weren't my favorite character I know a lot of people love them, but they weren't my favorite characters from the series I'm intrigued to see where the story is gonna go and I really want to get the sixth one across the Greengrass Fields, which came out February in the UK I know it came up before that in like the US they came up February in the UK So super excited to get to this hoping for the best love Sean and Maguire I've never given something I've read by Sean and Maguire less than four stars So definitely one of my favorite authors. Next we've got watch over me by Nina Lacour Molly for mind of Molly has been chatting about this saying how much they loved it I've heard quite a lot of good things and also the cover just like something about it appeals She's so beautiful. She's a mammoth, of course Like you know what a cover really makes you want to read a book like this is that so this is about a girl Who I believe has kind of like grown up in the foster care system kind of she has offered a teaching job at this farm When she gets there there's ghosts and it's like haunted but from what I've heard from some reviews You're not actually sure if it is haunted or if it's maybe in her head I think it's a lot to do with trauma And so you're not sure whether the ghosts are Representations of that trauma or if the place is actually haunted I have had mixed things and I Riley didn't really rate it I think she gave it like three stars or something but Molly loved it and The cover is so cool and oh my god. Wait, so like eyes closed eyes open eyes closed eyes open like come on. That's cool When it does it shouldn't I shouldn't care it just intrigues me You know like a book a book with its design like you have to grab me like you have to make me go Oh, that's different. You know what I mean Does anyone else understand this like the silliest things that most of my new things can make me so excited to read a book So next is one of the non fictions I'm most excited to read and it is forgotten women the writers by zing sing I have read forgotten women the leaders This is a four-part series and basically these are super under read like I think some in the series I think maybe forgotten women the scientists only has like 30 ratings on Goodreads or something This series is basically non fiction about women from all around the world It's really diverse in terms of like the countries that it covers. It's not just like Western history it's from all over the world and It's just this beautiful book with these gorgeous illustrations of all these women and you kind of only have like Two or three pages on each of them But I just really love learning about these women that history has forgotten our history is so Meldominated literally only following men and their lives and I love learning about these women who should be remembered And we should be taught about and we should know off the top of our heads like so many men We know off the top of our heads I think reading stuff like this puts life in perspective and makes you realize, you know, all the amazing things have been done by women before you and I just really love like I'm a bit obsessed with learning about forgotten women like I love podcasts on forgotten women I love watching like the YouTube videos on history about forgotten women like I just love it I'm obsessed and because this is the writers I'm really intrigued to read it and also maybe get a bit inspired because I do want to write but life keeps getting in the way Uni I am so excited for you need to be done. I'm so excited for you need to be done. Oh my god It's gonna be amazing uni will be done soon, and I'm gonna be a free woman Illustrations are just some of the most gorgeous things I've ever seen. I love like the variety in the art It's by a diverse writer with diverse women. It's amazing So you should definitely go pick this series up. Okay, so next is another mystery, and it is the big four by Agatha Christie This is the next book in the acuparo Series by Agatha Christie, which I am reading in order. I believe this is the fifth one I've heard this is kind of like a collection of short stories Like it's not really the next one in the series in the way that like I've got the one after that The mystery of the blue train is do I mean? I think it was like I think it was written in a bit of a strange way Like it's like a collection of short stories or something, but I'm so excited to read it You know mystery is my favorite genre, and I think it's really hard like I wish there was more like straight-up mysteries released now Do you know what I mean? I don't feel like we have enough of them Maybe there is but like any time there's a mystery like a murder mystery kind of thing Please let me know because I will eat it up. We need this. This is essential. This is a crisis But yeah, I'm just excited to continue on the journey Agatha Christie I definitely want to like start reading them again Because I think the last time I read Agatha Christie was November October November last year so it's been a while So yeah, I'm just ready to like continue on and read the next one in the series Next are a couple new releases that I'm really excited about the first is another kind of like murder mystery I spoke about these both in my recent haul as well So I'll only touch them quickly but we have The Islanders by SV Leonhard. This is basically Love Island turned murder mystery. Our main character goes to be on the show Love Island, essentially, and then one of the contestants is murdered within hours after they've all been like socializing and like, ooh, and then someone's dead, you know? But that's quite dramatic. And then an announcement comes that one of The Islanders is a murderer and the main character must work out who. For every hour it takes her, one will person or die. We have got murder mystery. We have got games. We've got like a, it's almost hurtful to me to watch her be so dumb. I am so, so excited for this. I think this is gonna be like a new favorite book. I think it's gonna be so good. I'm just so excited to read you. Like I'm just, I'm just so excited. I'm just so excited. Like it's gonna be so good. It's gonna be so good. I'm so excited. And then the other new release I am most excited to read is Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas. This came out right at the start of the year and I still haven't gotten to it. This follows Maverick who is the dad from The Hate U Give and it's about him growing up and figuring himself out, becoming a young dad, dealing drugs, figuring out what he wants to do. And I've just heard so many good things about it. Everyone who has read it, I have like heard them, heard that they've read it in like a day or two. I just love The Hate U Give and I wanna come up so much but I'm so excited to get to this. And I have read the other two via audiobook. So I'm intrigued to see what it's gonna be like to read this one physically. Like what a different reading experience it's gonna be. And then finally, I don't even wanna talk about it because I have been saying I'm gonna read this book for like a year, right? Every single, every single reading list I do where I'm like, I wanna read these books. I put it on there. Have I read it yet? No. This is so humiliating. Here we go. So who next is Wild Beauty by Anna-Marie Macklemore. I just, I just really wanna read Anna-Marie Macklemore. Yeah, I've never read anything by them and I just really want to. I don't really know what this is about either because everyone says like you shouldn't know what it's about. But it's magical realism. I never hear a bad thing about Anna-Marie Macklemore's writing. Like never, like never. And I love magical realism. Definitely another one of my favorite genres that I don't read enough, like magical realism or fabulism, that kind of thing. Frankly, I'm just embarrassed. Like, I'm gonna put this on every list of books I wanna read until I read it. So really, I need to just read it. I need to just read it. We're so beautiful, isn't it? Oh my God, it's so beautiful. So yeah. So they are the books that I wanna read soon. As you can tell, they're short. I wanna read short books. I'm not in the mood for any big boys right now. But hopefully I will get to these soon because they are the ones that I'm most excited for. I'm aiming to get them all read in the next couple months. That would be amazing. Oh my God, that would be so happy. That is it for this video. If you've gotten to the end, comment a flower emoji. Any flower you fancy because I just love this cover so much. Anyway, I just love it so much. And I hope you're doing good and I will see you very soon with another video. Bye.
