Right, this video is going to take me like 10 years to film,
so strap in, get a drink, and let's get into it.
Hello friends, welcome back to my channel, I hope you're all good.
Today we've got a video that I do once a year and that is my entire owned TBR.
I'm a little bit concerned.
So yeah, I've done this a few times, I like to do this every year to kind of give you guys
an overview of the books that I own that I haven't read.
This year, listen, my TBR is bigger than ever,
I have no idea how long this is going to take us.
But it's going to take us quite a while, I think.
If you've watched these videos before, you know those of us with bigger TBRs,
mine is currently about 218 books.
I'm just going to say the title of the book, I'm not going to say anything about it.
Otherwise, 218 books, if I said anything about them,
we'd literally be here for like five hours.
We're not going to do that, so I'm just going to tell you the book.
But I need your help, this video is integral to my reading success.
No, I just need your comments because in my TBR game, TBR Cluedo,
I have two different prompts that are a book an audience member loved
and a book an audience member hated.
And this is the video that I use to pull those books from.
So when you see a book that you've loved or hated in this video,
I need you to comment it down below.
And then I randomise the comments whenever I get that prompt and pick a book from here.
So I really need you to comment on this video any books that you've hated or loved
because then it might make me read them in a TBR Cluedo game.
I've sorted these by genre, but of course there is always like a crossover,
you know, with like fantasy, historical,
there's quite a few that could have gone either.
Thrillers and mysteries sometimes have a bit of crossover,
but I've tried to keep it pretty separated by genre.
And I'll leave the timestamps down below for all the different genres.
But yeah, shall we just get into it?
I think we have to, otherwise we're going to be here so long.
So let's start with fantasy.
It's a lot of fantasies.
And when I feel the fantasy, it is my reality.
So we have Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson.
The Keeper of Nights by Kylie Lee Baker.
This Vicious Grace by Emily Thiet, I think.
Belladonna by Adeline Grace.
Deep Light by Frances Harding.
A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross.
Siren Queen by Nhi Vo.
Wild and Wicked Things by Francesca May.
Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Su Lin Tan.

I need to get to these soon.
I've been, like, saving them for the perfect rainy day for long enough.
I need to, like, read one of them soon.
Because look at them!
Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber.
The Gilded Walls by Roshani Chotsky.
Jade of Firegold by June C.L. Tan.
Rule of Walls by Leigh Bardugo.
She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker Chan.
Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lin.
Another one, oh my god, I just have to get to it soon.
This is one of my favourite editions of books I own.
The Bright and the Pale by Jessica Rubinowski.
Babble by R.F. Kuang.
The next book I'm going to be reading.
I'm very excited.
It's what she deserves.
Wolfsong by T.J. Klune.
And I actually want to say a big thank you to Pan Macmillan for sponsoring this video.
So I am going to chat a little bit about Wolfsong.
So I have read two books from T.J. Klune.
The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door.
And they have both been five stars.
I adore T.J. Klune's writing.
I think he has this wonderful coziness.
This wonderful, you know, love throughout his books.
Like woven throughout the storytelling of his books.
But they all deal with difficult topics.
I don't know which one of these I cried at more than once.
I cried at them both a lot.
So if Wolfsong gets a five star, T.J. Klune will qualify as one of my favourite authors.
So Wolfsong is by far one of my most anticipated books on my TBR.
This edition has just been released and I love it.
It's also very long.
But I've found, you know, although I'm intimidated by longer books,
a lot of my long books that I read tend to be my favourite books.
I do love going on a long journey with characters.
So it's about this boy who kind of becomes obsessed with this family that moves next door.
Who are shapeshifters who can transform into wolves.
And then a lot of the book is set a couple years later.
And it's him and one of the sons, I think, from the family.
Maybe falling in love.
So, you know, T.J. Klune's books always have a bit of romance to them,
a bit of queer romance to them, which I love.
And I am just so excited to read this, given how much I loved both of these.
I loved them so much.
Some of my favourite books, both of the years that I've read them.
So yeah, big hopes for Wolfsong when I get around to it,
that I will love it as much as I love these.
Okay, let's get back to the rest of the fantasy books now.
When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill.
Book of Night by Holly Black.
I feel like this might be one of the books that a lot of people comment saying they hate it.
Because I know this has got mixed reviews.
But I am still very excited to read it.
Unraveler by Frances Harding.
Gallant by V.E. Schwab.
Only a Monster by Vanessa Lenn.
Blood Like Magic by Lizelle Sambry.
Girls of Fate and Fury by Natasha Nyang.
I know I need to finish this series off soon.

Also weirdly calm.
Perhaps on the verge of hysteria.

How are we doing?
Fantasy has always been the biggest genre that I've owned.
I just tend to get a lot of fantasy.
But mystery is starting to creep up on it and to, you know, catch up.
So let's get into mystery next.
So I decided to go and investigate it.

That is all our mysteries, everyone!
All of my other genres are a lot smaller.
Mystery and Fantasy are by far the biggest ones,
so now we should get on a little bit quicker.
I think let's do historical next.
That's history.
So we have The Fountains of Silence by Ruta Sepetys.
The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles.
The Daughter of Dr. Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.

Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood.
And So Many Beginnings by Bethany C. Morrow.
That is all my historical!
Of course, a lot of the fantasy that I mentioned has historical elements.
Same with the mystery.
I think all of these genres probably have something historical in them.
But these are the ones that I categorised as mainly historical.
Let's get into non-fiction now, actually.
That's quite a big category as well.
Not a joke, just a fact.
So, we have Harlot's Whores and Hackabouts by Kate Lister.
I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara.

And Unwell Women, A Journey Through Medicine and Myth in a Man-Made World by Eleanor Cleghorn.
That is all our non-fiction.
I mean, I look at so much of the non-fiction, I'm like, I want to read it so bad.
But I think I just don't get around to it as quickly.
I would say out of all of the genres that I have,
this is the genre that has the least, like,
been the least refreshed since the last time I did this video.
We've got a lot of the same books on there,
so I do need to make it a goal to read more non-fiction.
But I guess I just find it intimidating
and it doesn't always fit into the other vlogs that I'm doing.
So excited.
Thriller is next, so we have Apples Never Fall by Leanne Moriarty.
Everything We Didn't Say by Nicole Bartt.
Breathless by Amy McCulloch.
The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen.
Things We Do in the Dark by Jennifer Hillier.
The Lies I Tell by Judy Clark.
A Flicker in the Dark by Stacey Willingham.
Like a Sister by Kelly Garrett.
Nine Elms by Robert Breisender.
The Whisperman by Alex North.
By far one of my least favourite covers to ever exist.
Pine by Francine Toon.
The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen.
And When the Stars Go Dark by Paula McLean.
That's all our thrillers.
I told you, the categories are getting much smaller now.
How many people were scared?
Me too.
I was really, really scared.
Next we have horror, and I actually barely have any horror
since I did that video where I read seven horror books in seven days.
I think it really just like depleted my stash.
So I barely have any horror left on my TBR.
We have Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.
My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones.
The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Stalin.
And The Trees Crept In by Dawn Kurtagich.
The Weight of Blood by Tiffany D Jackson.
The Hacienda by Isabel Canas.
And Hashtag No Escape by Gretchen McNeil.
That is all my horror, so I really need to go get some more horror
to kind of, well, I don't need to because I've got 200 books to read.
A classic?
Classic.
Not debatable.
Not up for debate.
Okay, so next we have classics.
And actually, this is probably the genre with the least refreshing since last year
because I probably haven't read any classics, if we're honest, this year.
Let's not talk about how that was probably a goal of my reading this year
and it definitely has not happened.
Anyway, moving on.
We are going to pretend we didn't hear that.
We have Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell.

fabulism kind of thing.
I only have three left on my TBR,
so definitely a genre that I need to get a few more of.
We have Wild Beauty and The Mirror Season by Anna-Marie McLemore.
And Split Tooth by Tanya Tagak.
Okay, I'm pretty sure that is it.
That is all of my physically owned TBR.
Oh my god, that was a lot.
I don't know how long this video is gonna be.
But I hope you enjoyed seeing every book that I own.
And I really want to know which of them you've loved and hated.
That's kind of like the highlight of the video for me,
is seeing what your favourites are and what you've loved.
So please, please let me know down below what your favourites are.

Tear them apart.
Tell me why you hated them.
As I said before, such a big thank you to Panic Villain for sponsoring this video.
