June Reading Vlog | Where I read 3 books and talk about the channel
the background of the video is so beautiful!
The Road, I loved this book and read it based on your recommendation. It only came in second on my best by a slight margin (Blood over Bright Haven )
Mad respect for you toughing it out in the cold!! Absolutely loved this slightly unhinged video hahaha. Can't wait to binge Age of Madness this year and meet Orso. And fingers crossed I can finally get to The Road, it's a true TBR veteran of mine hahah. My top 3 of the year is Asunder by Kerstin Hall, Obsidian: Revelation by Sienna Frost and Hell For Hire by Rachel Aaron! Happy New Year dear 🥰
Hahaha thank you Esmay Rosalyne (I will always be using your whole name because you know I like it so much 😂)! ✨ Oh, these are lovely books to look forward to! 😊 Oh, I haven't read any of these! If you had to pick one to recommend above all others, which one would it be? (I am asking for a specific reason)
@@libraryunbounded Hahah you are way too kind about my name!! I think I am gonna go with Asunder by Kerstin Hall, but do keep in mind that it ends with a bit of a cliffhanger and there's no update on book 2 yet (though it is being written, publishers are just being stupid with the release stuff). If you'd rather read a book that already has a sequel, then I'd have to say go for Obsidian: Awakening by Sienna Frost! 🥰
If not for great booktuber recommendations I still be reading the same category of book thank and very to the point about book not a long intro about this book and funny many thanks few on there I add to my list have a happy new year
Thank you so much! And a Happy New Year to you too! ✨
Tambien lei la carretera como uno de los mejores ... saludos desde Colombia .
Hola desde Bulgaria y feliz año nuevo! 🇨🇴 If you liked The Road, then you have great taste in books!
Appreciated your description of koriander very very much bc I feel the same...this taste is like soap from hell!!!
I’ve read the first four already!
I’ve read ten of these!🎉
Oh, that's so cool! Which ones?
@ they’re all on my booksta or Goodreads (my reviews are more professionally detailed on there)! Booksblabbering🫶
THANK YOU for trashing from blood and ash…booktube praises that book to the high heavens and I couldn’t even make it past the first chapter. so stupid!
Yeah, I have seen a lot of praise for it. I guess we all have a different taste 🤷♀️
This was a great video! Your dry humor cracks me up! Thank you!!
Thank you so much, Megan! Your words made me so happy! ✨
Not you convincing me to put Blood Meridian on my January TBR
Lol no, absolutely not! 😂
Either David Copperfield- because it gave me all the feels, or The Count of Monte Cristo - it was an exciting adventure with a complex plot.
Did you keep all your toes? Such a great video ^^ I loved the background, the music choices, everything. I don't think I've read any of those books, but The Road is definitely on my TBR.
Yes! I am happy to report that I did! 🦶 Thank you so much for your very kind words, Cat! Bonne Année 🥂🎊📚
I love the award shows!! I added a couple of titles to my TBR because of your descriptions :)
Oh, that's lovely! Which ones sparked your interest? :)
Captain Frederick Wentworth is the best romantic hero in literature. And that letter… sigh. Persuasion is my favorite romance of all times.
Yeah, I think he is one of the few romantic heroes I actually respect and like
Here in Texas it was 82 yesterday!
Wow... You know, I don't envy you, anything above 77 (if my conversion from Celsius is correct) is unnecessary 😁
How do you not have more subscribers?! Stellar video!
You know, sometimes I wonder how I got this many 😅 Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it very much! Have a very Happy New Year! ✨
Braving the wilds and the cold for a video - now that's dedication! A great idea and great categories! Hope you have a restful New Year's Eve and a great 2025 as well! So glad to have found your channel.
Yeah, dedication, not stubbornness, for sure 😅 Thank you for the kind words! And a very Happy New Year to you! May it bring you lots of joyful moments!
You are soooo underrated!
Thank you, Renee :) There are plenty of lovely people who watch and for now, that is more than enough. Still a lovely compliment though ❤️
Finishing the year off strong! Again, great content! the award categories were awesome, and made for a much better viewing experience than another top 10 video
Thank you, Brice! That is very high praise! ❤️
This video cracked me up. Thanks!
All my pleasure, Dina 😊
Gorgeous video! I love how you categorized each book.
Thank you! I find it easier to split the books by a quality, than by a specific place in a list. 😊
Orso?! Really! 😂I really enjoyed this video.
Yeah, I don't know what to tell you. I've talked to other women - we all like him 😅🤷♀️ Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed the video! 😊
I was surprised to see Agatha Christie's book title in Greek. Did you read it in Greek or was the picture chosen for another reason?
Ah, no, sadly I can't read in Greek (though it's sounds like a beautiful language and it might be fun to learn it). I just really liked the cover and only noticed it was in Greek when I was proof watching the video. At this point I was already tired, so I decided to go for it anyway. 😁
I suggest checking out IN THE VALLEY by Autumn E. Knight
Your quality and commitment are insane! This was gorgeous to watch, probably not as enjoyable as standing out there though lol ♥️
Thank you, Ash! You are too kind ❤️ It was slightly uncomfortable, but I was wearing two sweaters, two pairs of pants, and three pairs of socks, so it was okay. ⛄️
@ Sounds like a good way to stay mostly warm haha. What temperature was it out there??
I'm 30 seconds into this video. It looks like you are in my neighborhood outside. I LOVE the awards names and your skill with paper airplanes. OK - more into video now.. Once again, you combine amazing category names with the perfect theme music. All you girls love your Orso... How did I not win Most Delightful Weirdness? I demand a recount.
Hahaha yeah, would've been fun if you walked casually in the background 😂 Thank you, I am a well-known plane engineer (mostly for my lack of skill) ✈ I know, Abercrombie has found a way to write the most mediocre man, who is somehow enticing to all women. I guess that should've been the name of the award... This actually made me laugh out loud (the Delightful Weirdness part) 😂 Alright, I recounted and it will appear that you did in fact win Most Delightful Weirdness, Brian! Congratulations! 🎊🥂
@@libraryunbounded YES! I want to thank my agent, my costume and set design team, my parents of course, I'd like to thank all the other nominees for being so amazing, it's just an honor to be in their company. I'd like to thank Godzilla who taught me to wake up, get out of bed, and stomp all over cities with the dawn of each new available day. Oh, I see I'm being played off with the music. This is amazing! Thank you everyone!!!!....
Happy New Year ! 🥳🥂
Happy New Year, Neda! ❤️
Loved this. So funny. I like WOT a lot but completely agree with your criticisms. I read most of the books when I was a teen then paused in 2000 after reading book 9, deciding to wait to read the rest after they all came out. I reread books 1-9 a couple of years ago and am hoping to read the last 5 in 2025. In my most recent reread, I did find the characters and romances a lot more annoying than I did previously. I’m not sure if my tolerance was higher two decades earlier or I didn’t find them as annoying. I still appreciate the story and enjoy trying to figure out who all the forsaken are though.
Thank you so much! The story is compelling and maybe had I read it when I was younger I'd see it differently. Sometimes I feel like I've become too pragmatic for my own good... :/
Your paper plane flying resembles mine 😆 Great video. Loved the categories and “the least annoying romance” cracked me up. I agree though that Persuasion is excellent, and Pride and Prejudice is better. Roadside Picnic is on my want to read list, but not yet on my shelves. I’ll keep an eye out for it. I have been vacillating over reading The Road, and ALMOST bought it in the Boxing Day 20% off sale. Sounds like I should pick up a copy
Yeah, it's not very impressive 😅✈️ I do hope you enjoy both The Road and Roadside Picnic ✨
A book that had me laughing so much was Dungeon Crawler Carl 😊... which I do recommend And also I do plan in 2025 to read A Little Hatred
Oh, I've heard some good things about it and now I kinda want to read it even more. Great idea - I've waited a relatively long time to continue with Abeercrombie after The First Law and now I can't remember why 😅
-What a beautiful setting! Thank you for suffering the cold temperatures to bring it to us! -Love the category names! -I was delighted to see Persuasion on this list. I have such a soft spot for this one among the Jane Austen books that I have read (like you, Pride and Prejudice is my favorite and likely always will be). -Dark Matter is on my TBR. I actually ran out and bought it after reading Recursion (possibly my favorite book of the year). Hope to get to it in 2025. Thanks for sharing! May 2025 be another wonderful reading year.
- It was a pleasure, really (i love the cold and that's one of my favorite places) - Thank you ❤️ - Yes! Persuasion is fantastic, really stands out - Oh, cool! I hope you enjoy it (pretty sure you will). I've been meaning to get to Recursion, might have to bump it up Thank you for watching and I hope we all get a good 2025 ❤️
My personal award for best booktuber definitely goes to you, Silvia! Your videos have been a true delight!🎉 have an amazing new year and stay awesome😊 btw I also read and loved the weirdness that was Piranesi - I will reread that one for sure sometime in 2025!
Oh, you are so sweet! Thank you so much! ❤️ Happy New Year and may it be a really happy and healthy one for you!
Happy New Year! There are quite a few books on your list I want to try next year!
Happy New Year, Rhonda! ✨ I hope you get to read them and enjoy them in 2025!
Well, I am driving around in South Florida listening to this and my car AC is not working and it’s 85 degrees and I am sweating my ass off. The coldness of the video is not psychologically affecting me as I thought it would. But you have good taste nonetheless. I read Roadside Picnic this year. Great. I read Piranessi also. It was all right. I wish she turned that into a huge book with footnotes like Jonathan Strange, and that book should have been short and whimsical like this one. Blood Meridian is one of my favorites of all time. I read McCarthy’s Child of God followed by Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying and that was one surreal southern gothic nightmare.
Ah, yeah, that sounds less than pleasant 😅 Now, I suspect you didn't mean it as an advertisement but now I kinda want to do the McCarthy-Faulkner marathon myself... 😂
Boy do I agree about Judge Holden. I read Blood Meridian in the mid-90's and he still gives me the chills.
I know, right? That dude will haunt my nightmares indefinitely.
amazing year you had and lovely scenery!
Thank you so much, John! ⛄️✨
I really love the award show format & you execute it perfectly! 💖
Thank you so much, Melissa! ❤️
Great list! The Road was my book of the year in 2019. I also love Guards! Guards!, The Murder at the Vicarage, Dark Matter, The Tainted Cup, Roadside Picnic, The Ember Blade, Piranesi, and Persuasion. My favourite book this year was The Will of the Many.
You are a woman of fantastic taste, Lyn! 📚 Ah, yes, I've heard lovely things about The Will of the Many. Really need to get to it but I'm still struggling with The Lycanius Trilogy.
Another great video! Good to hear that Persuasion made this list. It really is an underrated romance. 💕 And I've been meaning to read Odd Thomas. Adding it to my TBR. Happy New Year to you as well! Here's to another year full of amazing books! 🥂🎆
Ah, thank you, but I've already read all of those. Still, a good point. I don't know why authors do that sometimes even if it's a very old book
Thank you so much, Ash! ❤️ I know right? Persuasion deserves more love (though I did just call it the Least Annoying Romance but you know, that's high praise 😂). Oh, if you like this type of reads, Odd Thomas is delightful. I do hope you enjoy it!
Loving the commitment with filming outside in the freezing cold, hahaha!
Yup, I am a woman of many flaws but common sense is not one of them 😊⛄️
Wow that's a killer list. The Road and Piranesi are also some of my favorite reads of this year. This is an amazing video. Can't wait for more. Happy New Year to you and yours.
Thank you, Dan - you are a man of great taste! I am so happy you enjoyed the video :) Happy New Year to you and yours! ✨
Happy New Year, Silvia! 🎉 Thank you for all your videos and funny moments you've made for us :) Your video settings are reaching the ambience level status for me though I really hope all digits stayed well :) The categories were amazing, and I actually laughed out loud when Persuasion got the Least Annoying Romance - poor thing but I guess it is a very high appraisal coming from you =D =D Also, I cannot forget to congratulate you on finding the best character =D <3 (and a reminder that I really need to pick up Abercrombie in 2025) I'm keeping my bests very usual (or more likely boring) like the best book, the best author, the best character, the best quote and the best cover of the year :) and still, I have problems picking up the actual winners for comparison with past years..... I cannot fathom how you manage it with your range of books read <3 Wishing you all the best and have a wonderful start of 2025!!
Thank you so much, Misa! ❤️ I am happy to report that as of right now, I still have all of my digits 😂 Least Annoying Romance is the highest praise I can bestow on any love story 😅 Oh, my don't sleep on Abercrombie. He is a fantastic writer! You know, I can totally understand your struggle. I only come up with weird categories because I can't order the books properly if I try to take it too seriously. I'll second guess myself into infinity if I try to choose the best quote 😅 Or order the books into a top 10 (for example). It's easier to filter out my full 5 star reads and pick a quality that stood out in each book. Have a beautiful and peaceful 2025! ❤️
@@libraryunbounded I'm so happy for all your fingers 😁 So true, but you managed the categories so well - I've gotten inspired and finally filled mine as well ☺ And even surprised myself as e.g. my favorite character ended up being Lightsong from Warbreaker that I wouldn't have guessed yesterday but it makes total sense now 😀😀😀 Thank you. ❤
@@aBowStar OMG Lightsong is a legend! A fantastic choice indeed! ✨👏
❤📚📚❤️ Love it! I'm reading Persuasion in January! 😊 Odd Thomas was so good. I'm very excited to read my copy of The Road. Great review!
❤️❤️❤️
Great awards show... hard disagree on coriander, it's a food of the gods😂
I'm sorry, Kim, but coriander is what evil tastes like 😂 I've heard somewhere that there's a gene in the human body that determines whether one loves or hates it, so I can forgive you being SO INSANELY WRONG 😂 Happy New Year to you and your lovely family! ❤️
@libraryunbounded Happy New Year to you!
❤🎉 Added some books to my TBR! Have a wonderful time with your family. ❤️💙💚
I hope you enjoy all of them, Justyna! Thank you, I wish the same to you! ❤️❤️❤️
Another delightfully weird book is Electric Forest by Tanith Lee!
Added to the TBR. Thank you, Heidi! ❤️
Prince Orso, Mat Cauthon & Tyrion Lannister are my favorite characters of all time!
Couldn't agree more!

Sestro, sestro... Abercrombie doesn't write human beings. He writes demons in human skin.
Maybe I happen to know a lot of demons 😅 Whatever it is he does, he does it well ✨
@@libraryunboundedmaybe what he does shouldn't be liked. Morality isn't subjective, as Mcarthy shows.
That might be so but one can't ignore circumstances and more than make people love the characters, the author attempts to show what monsters life can make of a person. And I disagree with your conclusion entirely. Yes, McCarthy does postulate that there is ultimate moral good but he doesn't deny redemption to the ones who do bad. Even if when they must face consequences.
