I bought State of Wonder for the exact same reasons. Rincey makes me spend a ton of money. Lol! Love your book hauls! The perfect balance of multiple genres and not a four hour video of YA/fantasy books. May I recommend getting to Dead Mountain and The Hate You Give immediately- both are amazing in my humble opinion!!!! A Woman is No Man. I want to buy that book but I’m afraid that I’m just going to be mad and cry the whole read. Hope all is well with you - ❤️ from Los Angeles

I like how you sorted out your book haul! It is great that you were able to take advantage of library sales, library discards, and a trip to your favorite bookstore in The Book Barn. While I own a few of these books, the only one I have read thus far is Exit West, which I read as a buddy read. To be honest, I was not too fond of that book. I think the concept of Deathmaster is intriguing, just as long as it does not become immoral in how the prodigies are affected within the text. It is interesting how The Halloween Party is the Agatha Christie book you have your mind set on reading first. I know how it is to have my mind set on one particular work from a particular writer. My first Agatha Christie book that I read was The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, for it was the one selected to discuss on our channel and it made for an interesting discussion. I really need to read something by Aimee Bender, for I have heard that she is outside of the box and absurdist with her writing. The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake was her first novel, as her previous releases were short stories or short story collections. Thank you for sharing! :) -Josh

thank you! I like to sort out my books, too; it makes for an organized-chaos type of feeling. yeah, I'm hoping to like exit west but I'm not sure I will. I'm intrigued by the concept but maybe something about the execution is turning people off. and I know, I've been meaning to get to an aimee bender for years and now I own 2 of her books. hopefully soon! thanks for your comment, josh, always appreciate it!

You have probably come across the book hauls I conduct on my channel. All of them are conducted by individual bookstore trips (I have two library book sale hauls as well and they pick up a nice amount of attention). I hope you enjoy reading Exit West more than I did. I will say that the execution was somewhat off-putting. I have two of Aimee Bender's books as well, The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake and the major short story collection of hers. Great to hear from you! :)

What a haul!! I had started reading The reluctant fundamentalist and was loving it! I must pick it back up again. Hopefully before the month is over u.u A woman is no man was also one of my most anticipated books of the year 😍 It’ll be on my tbr for next year but I’m still so excited to get to it soon😃

I love a big haul :D For 8 months, it's only about 6 books/month. But I'm all for smaller, more frequent hauls = more Taylor! I also own The Tea girl of Hummingbird Lane, but have not read it. & thanks to you, I've added a few titles to my TBR. I'm intrigued by The House upon the Dirt between the Lake & the Woods. I guess a love a long title :D

haha, are the long titles interesting? they're nothing if not attention grabbing. thank you so much; I'm definitely going to try to be a little more consistent with my videos in general as the semester winds down!

I listened to Dead Mountain on a whim years ago and really enjoyed it! Like you heard, the author does present a really strong, satisfying theory! I've found myself to not care too much for Atwood, but I loved Alias Grace!
