 no no no hey guys it's liana and i'm here today with another book haul i decided not to film it crouched on the floor like last time because that was hard on you old knees this i don't know is a better idea because my camera stand is on the same table that my books are and i think it's gonna rattle every time i touch one of these exciting times for you guys little earthquakes at home shaky cam um i also don't know if you can see but i have like four piles of books oh no oh no oh man i just realized that i have another book coming then maybe i should have waited i still can't wait it's not too late but we've gone too far i have all these books here okay well just like last time there's one special edition book that hasn't arrived yet um but it will be hauled in due time pile one pile two pile three pile four it's a lot it's a lot it's a lot i only just did a haul like a couple weeks ago whoopsie dubsey let's do this first things first no we'll do these last one i have space i don't have any space right now this is a terrible idea i don't know what i'm doing uh let's just do all the terry good cotton books and let's just get those out of the way i only had mass market paperbacks of the sort of truth books that's how i read them all and i got rid of them because they were like beat to shit and they were mass markets and i don't know like i know my nemesis alan has spoken up in favor of trade paperbacks or sorry not trade paperbacks of mass market paperbacks and like i'm really happy for him but mass market paperbacks are the worst they're like really hard to read and they look stupid on a bookshelf because like um i for a while when i still had a bunch of mass market paperbacks like i would always have like one shelf that i have to make like super tiny so that it wouldn't be stupid to like have these like books that are this tall and then all this like like shelf space left over uh but that meant i didn't have any sort of truth books so now i went out and i found used copies of them almost all of them in hardcover i got them for pretty cheap on ebay it was kind of i had to pay a little extra for like the first book in the series and for i think the first and third books i kind of paid for maybe the first and second i paid for a little extra a little more um but like someone was selling like nine of them like as a set all in one go for a pretty like ridiculously reasonable price and like i looked at the pictures and they're like pretty good condition like they're not like brand new condition but like pretty good condition so yeah that's what a lot of this is so wizards first rule by terry goodkind you know this is the first book in sort of truth this is like the og cover i do have somewhere i don't know where exactly a paperback trade paperback of this one which is fine this is like super cheesy old school fantasy cover that like i mean to be quite honest i don't think the artist actually read the book because the characters don't look like this like a lot of these and also like i don't think it was the same artist for a lot of these because like richard looks like totally different depending on which cover it is yeah so the richard and kailyn do not look like this based on how they're described uh it's a fun cover that that's pretty much how our picture is in but yeah any who's these um yeah that's that's that's what this is it's a sort of truth book all of these are sort of truth books so wizards first rule followed by stone of tears which you guys saw me hold up in my april tbr because i'm rereading stone of tears with bethany in april so y'all already saw this one and again richard and kailyn i don't i don't know who this is supposed to be that doesn't look like richard or kailyn then blood of the fold this is when the books started getting weird at number three but i read like 10 of them regardless yeah blood of the fold it was that's supposed to be richard and kailyn i don't know how many different kinds of dude they can get on these covers and yet still none of them look like richard oh my god it's like how the i don't know who funded that project you know how like they made three movies out of uh atlas shrugged and each of the movies has like a different person playing dagny and a different person playing like all the like it's totally recast for each of them like all these covers look like they recast everybody but it still doesn't look like i don't suppose i'm like oh old school fantasy covers you make me laugh then all these are all out of order okay then oh this is a real test do i even remember what order they go in those go there then this is definitely the weirdest of all the ones i read there's the like the last couple i never actually read so i might read them now that i have them but temple of the winds which is book four is so so weird it's so deeply bizarre i don't really know why i kept reading i mean i do because i still like the characters and like i feel like by that point it's kind of like a tv series that you like are like seven seasons into and like season seven is a little funky bigger like well but i'm still gonna watch season eight that's kind of how this feels because i read this one and i was just like what in the holy heck was that but then i went on to read book five so whatever but once again richard looks totally different it still doesn't look like how richard's supposed to look oh my god can we all just agree that richard looks like Thor just get chris hemsworth on the cover problem solved then we have where is it oh right here soul of the fire which is book five which was definitely more normal than temple of the winds but also slightly more boring for that reason i remember soul of the fire being like was that when i really started feeling these books were getting samey i was like when again like when you watch a tv show you're like on season five and you're like you guys have run out of ideas this is the same plot line again you just like changed some names and stuff but this is the same thing that you guys have been doing so soul of the fire is like not super bonkers but was also boring then my favorite even though it's probably the most iron randy of them all is faithful uh the faith of the fallen and once again that's supposed to be richard's look everything like richard uh i remember not really looking forward to this one and putting it off for a long time because i don't know i saw these statues on the cover and i also because i knew how the previous one ended i was like i don't think the next one's going to be that interesting and then it ended up being my favorite and in retrospect they're ready for the first time now i'd probably find the iron randiness a bit more objectionable but as i've said to a lot of people a lot of the like heavy duty iron randiness of these books i like can very easily overlook it because i feel like this type of thinking and logic went in like a super trophy cliche fantasy world don't listen terry i'm talking about how your books are fantasy and you know you don't like to hear that it's not good you don't want to hear it so don't listen go away i don't like having a hero of a fantasy book you know talk about some like pull yourself up by your bootstraps fight for what is right for goodness and for wrath and for ruin and blah blah blah like doesn't bother me i replaying fantasy books where like we're rooting for a monarchy and we're rooting for like the restoration of the rightful bloodline to the throne and like okay i don't believe that a monarchical dynasty is the right way to rule a country but in a fantasy book like yeah i'm on board with rooting for that plot line because like a bunch of fantasy plot lines are like the lost prince must be like i don't give a shit having that be the plot line in a book like this like i don't i don't really care because i don't think that this is philosophy i don't think that this is like a deep allegory that we should be learning life lessons from again i told you terry not to listen you know you don't like to hear this so yeah to me it's just like a stupid fantasy fable fairy tale where like where magic people with magic swords can like save the day from like by the strength of their will any moses yeah so yeah i like this one a lot and then came pillars of creation um which was a bit long but there were some new characters that i've been looking forward to meeting so it was like it was pretty good it was pretty good not not my fave but pretty solid and i think this is the last one that i ever read so the next three are all new to me and they look like fucking easter eggs oh i don't know why they're so brightly colored they look so pastel and also we gave up trying to draw richard no more was anyone going to be trying to give us another version of richard these i think i'll have kailyn on the cover because i think this is like a sub trilogy within the series and i think these three mainly focus on kailyn um chainfire confessor obviously we need to focus on kailyn because she's the mother confessor and phantom which once again looks like it's focusing on kailyn also can we agree that terry goodkind looks like the villain of an 80s karate movie oh sir oh sir you're hilarious yeah so i i don't know what these are like but i'll read them probably why not we've gone this far and then also we have the omen machine a richard and kailyn novel now i i mean these are all richard and kailyn novels because all of these books are about richard and kailyn but apparently there was like a sub series within the series that are the richard and kailyn novels that'd be like if you had a new series in harry potter but it was like a new sub series but these would be called like the harry ron and hermione books you're like okay but like low-key aren't they all harry ron and hermione books so yep somewhere to probably read this too he looks almost unrecognizable though he definitely changed his look a lot i wouldn't if i didn't know like if it wasn't on the back of the book i would not think that these were the same person so yeah that's my good kind collection my roommate is very pleased um then we have the book that i mentioned in my previous haul that i was like i was like thinking about waiting for that one and then i didn't that is the waterstones edition of chain of iron uh because it's pretty as fuck that's why i own it don't need another reason it is like one of the prettiest books that i own i mean the waterstones edition of chain of gold was also very pretty it was like dark i shouldn't say it is it's not was dark blue with i think it was fleur de lis as like the recurring like patterns these are obviously moths and it's this like mossy green color this is my favorite color of green and green is my second favorite color after orange it will make my life if the third book in this series the waterstones edition is orange because that will be the prettiest book series i own and just straight up yeah super hope that i like this series i haven't read the first one yet oh but speaking of i don't intend to start reading the new was it called the last hours gilded hours some kind of hours uh i do intend to read the dark artifices before i read that so i got lady midnight and lord of shadows because i do have the hardcover of the third queen of air and darkness because i went to the signing for it so this is the the only one of this trilogy that i had in this hardcover was the third one and then i had a regular paperback of the first one and then no oh and then i have the waterstones edition of the second one it was all over the place i just wanted to have a matching set and i like this size and shape of book to be reading like the waterstones are way too fucking pretty of course i'm not gonna read those they're like that's art gotta ensure that but these all read so yeah this i didn't get them so that i could read them you know like how you're supposed to buy books to read them and um then my preorder of rule of wolves came in well actually i have two books coming so i have the one that i was thinking of earlier that was like that's still coming but also i did order the elima crate edition of rule of wolves which i'm low-key regretting because i'm already hearing that as bad as king of scars was rule of wolves is worse right row i also okay i don't know if this will make sense to anyone else but i don't know what color this book is every time i look at it my brain is like what color is that i'm looking at it and i don't know so like in fantasy books or like magical realism books where like something will be described as it was the absence of color or it was a color that the eye had never seen before there was no word for that's how i feel about this i keep staring at it and i thought maybe the picture was weird before it arrived and i was like well when i get the book i'll be able to tell i don't know this what color is this this isn't silver i know what silver looks like and it's definitely not gold king of scars is gold what color is this i just i'm so confused by it it breaks my brain so much okay but the naked book i know what color that is and that's pretty i'm so upset to learn that this is gonna be shit because it's such a pretty book maybe i just won't read it then i'll just stay pretty for me forever then i got a hardcover edition of the last argument of kings so this is the only one of the trilogy that i didn't have in hardcover in like this edition i think i've hauled them before these are all much shittier conditions because i got them from thrift books played itself and before they were hanged the only one i didn't have is the last argument of kings and this is the nicest because it's not from thrift books i got it from ebay or slightly more moneys it's not signed or anything it's just in better condition i did try ordering it from thrift books but it was like so beat to shit and didn't even have a book jacket so i was like fine i'll pay more moneys then i have my book of the month for april because it already arrived i'm not super behind like i usually am when the book calls and i got people we meet on vacation so this is like a spoiler for my april tbr no may tbr because i'm reading my book of the month in the subsequent month so this instance is my april book of the month oh my god can you show the book up out there i'm trying to film a video are you done okay okay yeah so since i'm reading the previous month's book of the month in the subsequent month then my may tbr will have people we meet on vacation by emily henry which i have heard good things about and i've heard good things for me about because i really liked b-treat which was the one she wrote before this which i also got from book of the month last year but i really liked that b-treat even though it's a contemporary romance kind of leaned more towards being litfiggy and its appeal and i've heard that people we meet on vacation leans even more towards the litfiggy side of things than b-treat did and that was one of that's what i quite liked about b-treat is that it was more litfiggy so i'm very excited to read this i think i will like it and i'm even though i've only read one book by her i really liked her writing style so i've bought a lot of emily henry books since then that i haven't read yet but i have high hopes and we're we're nearly there we're nearly there okay so next i have the toll by neil schisterman because i read thunderhead in march what is time i loved thunderhead i heard a lot of people say that thunderhead was better than sign except for my dad my dad read thunderhead and he didn't like it so i put it off for a long time but everyone else was right sorry dad you're wrong thunderhead was great thunderhead was amazing and uh but then when i was like talking about on instagram about how i was reading thunderhead and living it a bunch of people DM'd me and were like oh well the way thunderhead ends you're gonna want to read the toll like immediately so before i finished the underhead i ordered the toll and then i finished the underhead and i was like well fuck you're not wrong i have to read the toll immediately but it's not on my april tbr my april tbr is busting but i got it anyway i don't know why because it isn't entirely unrealistic that i will just squeeze it in to my april tbr but i just i was like it's one step closer to reading it if i own it then i've got the hundred thousand kingdoms by nk jemisin i don't think i hauled this yet hope i didn't and if i did sorry um but this is the uh my april the april buddy read from my patrons this is what we picked or they picked or we picked what was picked what was picked collectively for us to read together in april so i acquired it right quick so that i could read it yep uh yeah it's the first book in the inheritance cycle yeah or the inheritance trilogy oh the inheritance cycle is that is that the books by christopher paulini so that's called well whatever yeah so this is the first book in the trilogy the second book is the broken kingdom and third book is the kingdom of gods so yeah tada uh then this is because of my nemesis alan from the library of alan's andria will not shut up about the long price quartet they are difficult to find i got these from thriftbooks they're all different sizes and different editions which is delightful any who sees um yeah so i got this is apparently a bind up so they sell i guess they sold for books one and two in the long price quartet as a bind up so i couldn't get book one by itself so i got shadow and betrayal which is a bind up of shadow in summer and betrayal in winter so i also got so i honestly didn't realize that when i was ordering it i got a betrayal in winter by itself even though it's in here then an autumn war by itself and this is the only one that's like normal this is like a weird bind up it's also a library edition so it's like covered in marks this is obviously a library edition because it doesn't have a book jacket it's just that's the cover this is the only fucking normal one that's like a hardcover book wear the dust jacket that was never owned by a library so that's this is my favorite also it's orange so i hope i get there but the way alan goes on about these books so the reason that he convinced me because there's a lot of books he likes that i hate so i don't ever just take alan's word for it because if anything and he likes it i should probably avoid it but he keeps talking about how it is like shakespearian in its tragedy and like your girl is like trash for shakespear so he as soon as he said that i was like well now i'm interested so i bought him and he's better be freaking good alan they better be and last but certainly not least i think last time i ended on some kind of a special abercrombie thing i almost definitely did some more abercrombie goodness oh they do have numbers on them i thought i was so clever for figuring this out okay what these are are the russian editions of the first law trilogy however i don't speak russian but i i was figuring out which is which based on like the little symbols on it i was like well that'll be the blade itself that'll be before they were hanged and that'll be the last argument of king i am correct but they in fact have little numbers on them i mean i was right but i didn't have to work that hard okay so these look probably not that impressive like they're fine but why would i go out of my way to get russian editions when the russian edition is just like you know like it's fine because the naked cover on each is illustrated so we've got my boy galakta heading into the house of the maker and here is the agriant in all of its splendor super hardcore in love with this also the end pages are quite nice but yeah just just absolutely in love with that then four before they are hanged we have the whole crew we have uh fuck what's backwards logan and ferro and gizelle and bias and i guess that's quite back there kind of hard to tell anyway the whole crew on their mary adventure and then i guess this is spoilery but i don't really think it is we have logan nine fingers fighting somebody and people watching everyone is shocked to learn that in one of these books logan will be fighting somebody with people watching so shout out and massive thank you to elena who helped me order these you are a rock star i could not have ordered these without you i would have tried and i would have failed and it would have gone very badly and money would have been spent and books would not have been acquired and it would have been a shit show so thank you so much for first letting me know they existed into helping me to acquire them because i didn't know i needed these but i definitely definitely needed these so let me know in the comments down below stuff and things about the books that i acquired well about i mean that's really all i talked about is books that i acquired so you're gonna have to be talking about books that i acquired say hello to terry i'll pass it on whatever you want to let me know i post videos on saturdays other random times as well but i think saturday is so like subscribe i have a patreon now which you are welcome to join as well what do we do on patreon i don't know post patreon videos patreon buddy read patreon discord you know patreony type things so if you feel so inclined feel free to join us or don't it's entirely up to you anyway that's all from me bye a little bit of housekeeping um i'm not going to talk about the video that will not be named at all ever at any point so don't expect that but i do want to mention that if you messaged me or left me a comment um that was like supportive i may not have seen it and i probably won't see it because i turned off notifications for youtube entirely and for this foreseeable future i do not intend to turn notifications back on so i so deeply appreciate anybody who reached out to me i cannot words cannot possibly express how much i appreciated it and continue to appreciate it but yeah so uh again for the foreseeable future i will only be looking directly specifically at comments on the most recent video that i've posted um so if you're commenting on something older i probably won't see it i am saddened that i won't see it i love reading comments um i will probably still occasionally check the comments on some of my more like staple videos like the ones that people tend to find my channel through like my first law gush my favorite books of all time those kind of videos but for the most part i will only check the comments on whatever is the latest video that i've posted so just a way i um i'm not ignoring you i guess i i mean i technically i guess that is ignoring you but um i don't know any other way that i can go about this and maintain my sanity so that's what i'm doing so i just want to let you know that that's what i'm doing um i'm sad that that's what i am going to be doing or feel that i need to do but that's how it is so it is what it is i just wanted to keep you in the loop so yeah uh really and truly that's it from me um as i said before i post videos on saturdays other random times as well but after saturdays so like and subscribe and i'll see you when i see you
