 Hello hello my name is Laura and this is my channel Laura's Little Library. Cool TPR. So these are all the books on my shelf that I have not yet read. So all the books that I own I haven't read. This is going to be a long, long list. So I'm going to be very brief with all the books that I talk about. I don't, I'm not studying any kind of goal to read all of these before the end of the year. I'm using this more as a checkup as how many books at the end of this year I have unread on my shelves versus last year and to keep in reference for next year of have I actually been reading all the books on my shelf or have I bought more books and been reading those or have I been buying books and not reading any of them. So yes I will give you a grand total of how many books are on this list at the end but I'm going to start with some of the ones that I am currently reading because I have quite a few books that I have started and have not yet finished. So I am including those just because well I'm including them because there are also books that I have started and I have not read within the past couple of days either so it's been a while since I picked them up but they will probably be my top priority because I have already started reading them. So the first one on here is the nature of witches. I started reading this during my witching week for my reading Halloween reading extravaganza. This deals with witches getting their powers from the earth and being very environmentally cautious compared to the humans who are destroying the earth. So this will probably be the first book that I finish as it's the one I'm furthest in. Then I have Curse of the Spectre Queen by Jenny Elder Moke and this one I started fairly recently and put down because of other reading TBRs. I didn't quite get to finish this on time but it is Irish mythology Indiana Jones type book so I'm so excited to pick this back up and it was on my fall TBR so it is going to be one that I'm going to prioritize. Next is How We Fall Apart and this is by KV Zhao and this is a dark academia there is a friend group of high achieving students one of them die and so we're trying to figure out who killed the one that died. Yeah I really want to read it soon because it is dark academia and I'm still kind of in a dark academia mood just because it is fall so I hope to get to this one soon as well. Then the last book I've started it has been a long time since I picked it up but if that's because it intimidates me because it's a bit of a chonker but this is Wildcat by JP Harker oh my bookmark is falling out very much at the beginning of this I just really I have been very intimidated by how thick this book is but it is a Celtic kind of warrior epic fantasy I think so and it's the first in the saga so once I get invested in this I'm getting very invested into something ginormous so I will be reading this probably not soon but you never know. Then I will be picking up The Prisoner's Wife and this is by Matthew Brooks and I talk about this one in my historical fiction video that I did recently of historical fiction that I want to read soon yeah I talk about it there you should definitely check that video out but I still haven't read this one next up is The Lesson in Vengeance and this is by Victoria Lee I again got this for my Halloween reading extravaganza and I just never quite got to it it is dark academia next up is One by One by Ruth Ware this is a thriller about a bunch of kill workers who get snowed in and then one by one they are being killed so that's uncomforting um snake peek this may or may not be on my winter gbr which will be coming out when winter starts so just say another book that I have not yet read which is kind of surprising is The Kite Runner and this is by um Khaled Hussaini and this I just it's a classic it's literary fiction I know a friend who knows this book very well so I should really read this uh next up on the list is Spindle and Dagger and this is by Jane Anderson Coates and this is this was given to me so I don't know too much about it it's not too big though so I think I can get through it but it takes place in Wales in 1109 and I believe there is some political intrigue in here and then I have the other side of luck and this is by Ginger Johnson this is a middle grade and it tells the story of two different people who are fighting to find a flower one is trying to win the contest of finding the flower to help his father the other is trying to win the flower so that she doesn't have to get married to anyone so yeah so it's very short but I am intrigued the next up is Caravall by Stephanie Garber I bought this book a year and a half ago and I have been wanting to read it I know a lot of people love it and I know I am going to love it I just need to get there I just need to read it if you don't know it is kind of a it's so these two girls go to this big party celebration circus type thing it's like Caravall um and one of them goes missing and it's the game to try and find the one that has gone missing so it's a trilogy I only own the first one but once I read the first one I'll buy the second one and read it and finish the trilogy I also want to read this before I read Stephanie Garber's new book once upon a broken heart so we'll see about that then I have the Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes this is the second book in the Hawthorne uh legacy in the inheritance games I don't quite know what it's called but yeah it's the second one this one just recently came out so it makes sense that I haven't read it yet but I am hoping to read it this fall season as well because it is very much cozy mystery vibes we're getting through it we're getting through it Verity by Joelle Charbonneau and this is a kind of mysterious um a woman finds out that her mother has passed away and through investigating why she realized there are a lot of questions that she is now asking that she can't believe no one has ever asked before very vague I know but that's because I just don't really know and the summary does not give me much more information than that so I don't know if it's mysterious or not next up is We Are the Ghosts by Vicki Skinner this follows a girl who after the recent death of her brother goes on her own little journey with people who knew her brother to try and figure out his life and why it ended the cover makes it look kind of like snow like the blues with the little white dots on it so I don't know if it's snowing if it's winter um if it is I would like to add it to my winter tbr if it's not I have no idea what I'm gonna get to it then I have Mercury Boys and this is by Chandra Prasad and this I heard a little bit of us about saying that would be a good one for Halloween it's about this group of girls who find a spell or something with and using mercury they can visit boys in old paintings which is pretty interesting pretty unique I almost didn't keep this book but then I decided I would give it a chance so I have not yet read it all right this next one is a complete series that I recently acquired so the first book is The Hunt of the Gramochen this is by Danny Swanson it is a self-published author I bought her entire series plus a companion standalone novel in the same world that you but it's not with like the same characters um so I'm excited to get to these they were just a recent purchase and so I haven't really gotten to them yet but they're on my tbr now I'm gonna take a break and I'm going to go into all of the Disney Twisted Tales books that I own and have not yet read um I own all of them except for the one that most recently came out what once was mine um that's the Rapunzel Retailing so it's the only one I don't own um but I would love to read these twisted tales this winter just because fairy tales and retellings I think are great for wintertime as they're cozy because they are familiar but they've got a twist and so it's still just a comfy read so I'm just gonna quick fly through all of the twisted tales that I have not yet read straight on till morning by Liz Braswell what if Wendy first traveled to Neverland with Captain Hook part of your world by Liz Braswell what if Ariel had never defeated Ursula reflection by Elizabeth Lim what if Mulan had to travel to the underworld on birthday by Liz Braswell what if Wonderland was in peril and Alice was very very late so this is love by Elizabeth Lim what if Cinderella never tried on the glass slipper go the distance by Jen Kalanita what if Meg had to become a Greek God I did very briefly start this one I got like a chapter in so if I do start reading all the twisted tales I'll probably start with this one I am also thinking of doing a reading vlog either reading all of them or over the course of a week or two reading as many as I can just to try and make some progress I think it'd be really fun reading vlog if that interests you comment down below letting me know and I will do that sooner rather than later all right now we're gonna get to the last big stack that I have right here next to me and then we'll be done so on top of the stack is another book that I recently purchased and that is the school for good and evil a world without princes by some man Chinani this is the second book in the series I purchased this I've read the first one and I loved it but I finally got around to purchasing the second one so I can read it before the adaptation comes out and hopefully soon I will purchase the rest of them and actually finish the series so I will be getting to this one before once I know when the adaptation comes out I'll know exactly when to actually make it a priority and read it then I have the wicker king and this is by k and crumb and I don't know much about this other than it's kind of like misfit boy and perfect boy in an lgbt qia plus romance and I was told that this would be nothing like I've ever read and I know that just by the transition that the pages go through so I think it will be a very quick read so I think it's one of those that I'm just gonna sit down one day and read it all the way through and call it a Saturday next up I have royal holiday by Jasmine Gilroy I picked this up for free at a uh bookstore that had a free take it rack um and so I am saving I got it this summer but I've been saving it for the holidays because it is called royal holiday and it's about this woman who goes to England over the holiday and I think she falls in love with a royal or something like that so that's why I haven't ready yet I've been saving it for the season my goodness and I I'm adjusting how I'm sitting because whoa I've been sitting for a while next up is beauty queens by lila bray I also recently acquired this one from a friend of mine I don't want to save it for the summer just because I feel like I should read it soon so I can talk to her about it but I might just save it for summer so moving on I have summer between bitter and sweet by oh no I'm so sorry I'm gonna butcher this name by lake in the akept I'm so sorry um I know that this is food war type uh two restaurants are either fighting each other or two people in a restaurant all I know is that food is a main theme here and then I have the reckoning and the awakening by Kelly Armstrong these are books two and three of a trilogy that I started in October so makes sense I haven't read them yet I only just read the first book and I do want to finish the trilogy but I wasn't super thrilled with the first one but you know I still want to finish the trilogy I still think it's interesting and could definitely go places then I have instructions for dancing by Nicola Yoon or Nicola Yoon and this is about a girl who can see the end of people's relationships even before they happen so she hasn't been very motivated to have her own relationship because of it makes sense but isn't I love the colors of the cover it's so pretty and her hair oh my gosh now I have sunshine and this is by Marion Dain Bauer and this is a very short book that I know is gonna make me cry it's about a boy who loses his he it's just him and his dad and his dog and it's gonna be really sad and I fully planned on just sitting down and reading this all in one go but I know it's going to be emotional so I've been putting it off because of that but you know maybe now that I've resurfaced it I will finally just pick it up sit down and read it for a day people we meet on vacation by Emily Henry I bought this right off well my friend bought it for me right after I finished reading Beach Read by this author because she thought because of how much I loved Beach Read I needed to add the author's other book and I very much appreciate it this is a friends to lover who used to always go on vacations together and so they're trying to rekindle their friendship and then it turns into romance while going on a vacation I'm thinking of saving this one to summer because vacation and I mean come on it's summery but we'll see then a season of sinister dreams by Tracy at Bang Heart I don't really I know that this follows two girls one has magic one doesn't there are issues they have to save the kingdom there we go Briar Heart by Mercedes Laki Laki this is a sleeping beauty retelling where sleeping beauty has a sister and that sister is being trained to protect her both from physical threats and magical threats this sounds like a badass woman story and I am excited for it I have a pinch of magic by Michelle Harrison and I bought this for my Halloween reading extravaganza just in case I needed another book I didn't quite get to it so it's about three girls who find magical objects before she ignites by Jodi Meadows this has been on my TBR this has been in so many TBR videos it's insane so I need to just hurry up and read this book or unhaul it or something I have The Emperor's Blades by Brian Stavoli I don't know all I know is this is recommended to me so I picked it up and I'm going to read it because it looks epic I have It Ends in Fire by Andrew Schwarz and this has to do with magic and revenge and that sounds perfect so I will is this an arc or not no it's not an arc but I am excited for it nonetheless and finally the last book Deal with the Devil by Kit Rocha this I know has to do with obviously deals with the devils but also libraries and books it's a book about books and I love that so it's not too long I hope to actually get to this soon okay those are all the books on my shelves that I haven't read minus classics I will say I did not include classics on this list just because I have those more for the collections rather than to actually read them not to say that I won't read them but these books definitely take priority so that was 42 books I have 42 books on my shelf that I have not read yet like I said some of them I want to get to by the end of the year some of them that's just not going to happen and I'm okay with that let me know how many books you have on your shelf that you haven't read because I am curious if like 42 is a normal number especially since I have one tall like regular sized shelf and then this shelf is only this tall it's it's a half shelf kind of um so it's not like I have that many books I definitely have more books on my shelf that I have read than ones that I haven't read but yeah I'm curious how these numbers compare anyway thank you all so much for watching to give this video a thumbs up if you liked it comment down below anything how many books you have that you haven't read you know I'm I'm curious I would love to chat with you all down there make sure you subscribe and
