 Hey guys it's Julia and welcome back to my channel and for today's video I thought I'd talk to you guys about some books that I've owned for so so long that I've been reading to read and that I just haven't read yet that I've owned for like years. So we're gonna talk about all the books that I've owned for a few years and haven't read and really should read and some of you guys are gonna yell at me for some of these so let's get into it. I tried to mix the genres and give you guys a little bit of everything but first up here I have trouble by non-prat. I wanted to read this so long ago because I really want to read about teen mothers and I still do. I still find that really interesting in that perspective I just wanted to learn more about and I still want to learn about that perspective but that's the reason why I thought this. This follows a 15-year-old girl named Hannah who gets pregnant at 15. I'm not really sure how or any of that kind of thing. I just know she is pregnant at 15 and that it's just about her dealing with that and she just needs someone in her life right now and I believe she crosses paths with a guy who also just needs someone in his life right now and it's about them together I guess. It sounds it sounds nice I hope like I've heard some pretty decent things so I hope it is like a solid read as well. Next up here I have Tiger Lily by Jodie Lynn Anderson. This was so popular on booktube like many many years ago and or at least like a year ago or two years ago. I don't even remember how long it was that people were talking about this a lot but I remember used to be everywhere. The story follows this 15-year-old girl named Tiger Lily who meets Peter Pan in the woods and I believe it's just like very dark retelling and it was like she's before Wendy I think. So this was before Peter had his story with Wendy and Tiger Lily was the person before that so I'm interested to read this. It sounds really cool not gonna lie it sounds pretty cool but I the little tagline makes me really want to read it so that's why I'm gonna read it to you but it says before Neverland faded into myth it was a remote and dangerous island filled with deadly mermaids, psychotic pirates and watchful fairies and before Peter Pan belonged to Wendy he belonged to the girl with the crow feather in her hair Tiger Lily. So this actually sounds really cool like now I really want to pick it up. Next up here I have a station 11. Station 11 is written by Emily St. John Medell and this story I believe follows a pandemic which I just learned recently but there's also like Shakespeare in here and I don't know if it's after a pandemic or before I'll probably look it up and put it on the screen for you guys but I've wanted to read this for so long just because it's won a lot of awards it's supposed to be incredible I've heard just phenomenal things about it and I've had it for a few years and I there's so many times I plan to read this and then I just did it and it just reminded me that I had it when it was on Ariel's Reading Rush TBR and I was like oh yeah I've had that book forever like damn so I do want to read this at some point. Here's the one you're gonna all yell at me for and I'm preparing that is The Stand by Stephen King and I still get comments every day on most of my Stephen King videos about where's the stand have you read the stand are you gonna do a review on the stand you should do a review on the stand Julia the stand is amazing and it's like okay so I did start it wow I read 14 pages I was doing so great but I don't know I wasn't in the mood for it at the time and then I just haven't picked it up since just because I feel so much pressure to do a review and that's honestly the reason why I haven't read it is just because I've owned it for so long like so so long like five years maybe and or six years and I wanted to read this ever since but I just haven't gotten around to it just because one it's huge so it is intimidating but also it's not even that it's a big book it's that I don't know I feel like I'm gonna have to really make a ton of notes and I don't mind making notes and I like doing reviews but I just feel really nervous to make a review of this book just because I don't know everyone want like everyone it's kind of like a lot of people really want me to do a review for it so I just I don't know I haven't gotten around to it yet and I'll read it eventually guys because I do want to read it anyways but I heard the stand is not good to read right now during the pandemic but I don't know and lastly here we have helter skelter and this is a book about the Manson murders and the Manson family so this I've been reading meaning to read for so long I tabbed the top and everything and I was gonna read a certain amount of pages a day because I was gonna read it see here's see here's my proof like I was gonna I was gonna read it I have proof but I wanted to read this for a really long time because I love criminology and true crime is just a really interesting thing to me so I was hope like I've been meaning to read this for a really long time and I haven't yet I know there's a lot of like photos in here and I think there's like some questions in here and yeah it has some some of the dumbest photos in here and all that stuff so it's definitely gonna be like a super dense read but I really want to get around to it it's definitely one of the true crime books that is like high on my list is helter skelter so anyways thank you guys so so much for watching this video let me know your thoughts in the comments down below if you would like to you can subscribe to my channel or like this video if you enjoyed it I also have a bunch of social media linked down below including my Etsy shop where I sell bookmarks and different kind of like resin trays so if you're interested in that that's linked down below and I have my also my Goodreads Instagram Twitter and all that stuff down below if you want to check me out on any other platform but yes thank you guys so so much for watching this video and I'll see you super soon bye
