February TBR: What Do The Jars Have In Store?
I picked cover for 1000 as my first prompt, and I was so excited to get a mythical creature on the cover!
I bet you were! I wish I had picked it!
Welcome back Shay!! I am glad to hear that you are doing okay after all those hectic times. Sending all the hugs 🥰
I’m so happy to be back!
I just subscribed. ❤😊
Welcome!
Good to see you back! I missed your TBR videos. That bookish jeopardy sounds like so much fun! Wish I could do something like that. I hope September gives you some great books!
It’s gonna be great fun! I’m so happy to be back! ❤
Lots of big, exciting changes! Glad to see you back
Yes, and I am so excited! ❤
❤❤❤ that will be a fascinating conversation...booktube has changed the way l read 📚 ❤❤❤great to have you back 😊
Happy to be back!! ❤
You read a really good amount. I struggled that weekend since I was out for an entire day but I got four manga in at least ♥️
I haven’t read any of these but I have a few on my want to read list. And yes to more one week one jar videos!
Genuinely so happy for you that The Great Hunt was such a hit! I am still in denial that I don't like that series as much as I want to, lol. Nice to see you have fun with the amazing readathon, I am definitely feeling the fomo myself this year hahaha
Nice to hear you had such a fun month with your jars! I def need to get to The Gutter Prayer! And seeing you gush about The Spider Key and Gideon the Ninth makes me soooo happy! Hope June treats you well ;))
I always love these videos!! 🥰
Me too! Hoping to do more like this in the future ❤️
Good morning my dear friend
Same to you ❤️
I hope you enjoyed your Birthday 🎉 I’ve been eyeing up Foul Days for over a year now. I’m so intrigued by it 👀
The Birthday was great! There are sooo many releases I want to read!
Happy birthday! Bloodguard got pushed to October but I am excited for it. And also excited for Horror Movie and Middle of the Night. Horror Movie comes out on my birthday.
Good to know about Bloodguard! Happy early birthday! June birthdays are the best! ❤️
@@shaykininmybooks Thanks!
Happy Birthday🎉🎉🎉 it’s today
Thank you ❤️
Enjoyed this rundown -- I'll definitely be checking out Service Model!
I really want to get into more of his work!
Seasons of Albadone and Just for the Summer are soooo good!! Hope you have a fun time with the readathon ;)))
I can’t wait to get to them!
Ohh Spin of the Fate is SOO pretty. I love that cover ♥️
Me too! I’ve heard great things!
I am also participating in The Amazing Readathon! Good luck with your reads!!! :D
Good luck in The Amazing Readathon! I’m having a blast
I'm enjoying myself as well! I know that I will quickly fall behind overall, but it's still so much fun! :D
The Gutter Prayer has been lingering on my kindle for wayyyy too long, glad it was such a hit for you!! And I'd honestly never heard of the Rosie Project, but sounds like I wasn't missing out lol. Hope the last week has been fun for you!!
Love a mixed bag. Haha. Glad you got a thriller and not a chunky fantasy. Hope your work life stress gets better so you can concentrate and enjoy reading more.
Ooooh love seeing Rage of Dragons on here! I can’t wait to get to your top-4!!
LOVE Rage of Dragons!! I can’t wait for book 3 to come out!
@@shaykininmybooks ditto!
Holy guacamole you read all 300!!?!?!?!? This community is beyond lucky to have you and your passion. I reeeeeeally need to give Murder at Spindle Manor a go it seems for a little something different, and the Last Ranger for when I want some fresh epic fantasy. What books were your top-10 out of the whole 300?
😂 I wish I could have read all 300. I read the first chapters of all 300! And then cultivated a TBR from there. Hoping to be able to read the entirety of a lot more of the entrants this year though!
@@shaykininmybooks ahhhh that makes more sense 😅
So fun to see how subjective this entire thing is with your different ranking, haha. Very glad to see how much we both loved Ranger and Spindle though! Hope SPFBOX will bring some new hidden gems and favourites for you, happy reading!
I’m so excited to dig in to SPFBOX! I
Thank you for sharing! It's great to hear other perspectives of the finalists. So many great books made it to the finals... I can't imagine being in the judges' shoes.
Such a tough competition! Some really great reads! I’ve been enjoying your interviews. So excited for SPFBOX!
@@shaykininmybooks Aw!! Thank you for watching, and for reading!
This was my first time reading all 10 finalists. I’m more of an epic fantasy girl, so I was surprised that A Rival Most Vial ended up being my favorite. The Last Ranger was a close second though.
Are you going to read the finalists for SPFBOX too? Such a great group of books in SPFBO 9.
@@shaykininmybooks I am! It was a good experience. I do want to read some others too though that I think will be more to my tastes. There were several last year that I really wanted to read but weren’t finalists, so I never made time to read them. I commend you for reading the first chapter of all 300!!
Technology makes me realize that the moment it's not working or there's no power, we are just screwed. My boyfriend is a nurse and it's happened a few times, it sounds horrible. Understaffing and people in the medical field leaving is also a huge issue that stems from management and the higher ups. It's so frustrating
I agree with everything you said. It has certainly been a journey!
I hope your new cat brings much fun and joy to the house. The dogs will be fine when they realize how much your daughter loves on the cat. Also I love this idea of different jars for a week. I have my prompts sorted by season so far but I may add this method too. Happy reading!!!📖
The cat is catting 🤣 she is still getting used to everything. I have decision paralysis. This is the only way I can read now lol. Happy reading!
Oh jeez that sounds brutal with those long work days - so sorry bout that. I’m glad your reading could brighten up your week though! I’m definitely gonna give this series a go at some point
Eeeek, I am so happy to see you enjoyed The Spider Key so much!! From everything you said, I think book 3 will blow you out of the water. And book 4 is coming July 6th, so I couldn't be happier!!
E med records are so convenient. Sux people quit for the changeover. Glad u got a book in.
They are, but we had a good system and now we switched to a different one that wasn’t really ready to go live. So it’s been bananas! But I’m happy to be reading!
Soooo happy that the SPFBO books were such big hits for you! And I really need to get into Nyaxia! Hope May is treating you better ;)
Now I can’t wait for SPFBOX!
Good to see some love for Master of the Void!
It deserves it!
Best wishes with what you are choosing to read. I'm currently at page 951 of the Count of Monte Cristo. Still got some page to go. Happy reading.
That’s a chunker! It’s on the TBR, but don’t ever know when I will get to it!
This reminded me to read more Brandy Sandy 😂 I’ve only read Mistborn as well, it’s just a huge commitment!
DO IT!
This jar really wanted you to read Sanderson there at the start hahah. Glad you ended up enjoying Gideon so much!! I personally adore that series, but it's not an easy one to recommend. If you do continue (which I would urge you to just try), I would do so with the audio for sure because Moira Quirk really elevates that entire experience!!
I LOVE her narration. I listened to Gideon on audiobook as well. Of course it always brings me back to my childhood days watching GUTS on Nickelodeon (I may be dating myself here 🤣) because she was on that show! But she has a great voice! I have loved listening to The War Eternal audio because of her too!
@@shaykininmybooks omg I had no idea she was on that show!! But yes, her voice is the best, and she nails the snark of the Locked Tomb characters (as well as Eska) sooo well
I can’t to see what you pick out!! Best of luck with your pulls
I need ALL of the luck!!
The Wexler one is definitely intriguing!
I’m waiting for someone to read it and review it! I want to know if it lives up to the hype!
Woohoo, congrats on finishing all the finalists!! I am glad you overall had a good time with most of them, even if some of them were not to your personal preference. I am totally with you on Spindle and Ranger, those were true standouts for me as well! Loved hearing your thoughts 🤩
🌼🌼🌼
It’s not a great sign when a book starts and you’re confused. It can work sometimes but the author has to explain things for it to make sense later on. I’m glad you DNF’d, definitely not worth forcing yourself through
Yay, so happy to see that The Last Ranger was a hit for you! I really need to read more Rosell as well, he has such a comforting way of storytelling! Also appreciate your views on Beyond Redemption, I pushed through that and thought I liked it... but I have honestly never been more disgusted at some sexual content than in that book lol. Also, the german terminology was throwing me off so much bc I am semi fluent in German 🤣🤣
I kept on reading hoping something would turn around, but it didn’t! The sexual content was definitely up there in the most disturbing I have read! However, I’m not giving up on the author yet. I own more titles by him!
@@shaykininmybooks I'd highly recommend The Storm Beneath the World, that is a true gem!!
Just curious, why don’t you give .5 ratings? I love hearing about how and why people rate the way they do.
It’s because I’m so indecisive on ratings. If I have a .5 system, then I’m constantly looking for reasons to give .25. Therefore, I just made it simple for myself (or tried to lol) and said I would round to the nearest whole number that felt right.
@@shaykininmybooks Oh! That makes complete sense!
Yeah, more books!!!🎉❤
So many stunning special editions! A Fate Inked in Blood is a favorite of mine. I hope you love it!
Can’t wait to read it!
I read the Great Hunt and I am excited to read the Dragon Reborn. It means my reading experience of Great Hunt is good.
Yay! Can’t wait to read it!
Gosh I really need to read the last two War Eternal books! And oooh I am more excited to check out Ocean's Echo now, I had heard such mixed things. Also, I can see what you mean about A Study in Drowning and The Fall Is All There Is, but I really enjoyed the heck out of those lol. Hope April treats you well, happy reading ☺
Well you know how we are different 😂 you will probably not like Ocean’s Echo! lol But yes, read the last War Eternal books!
Ooh, I'm not so much into grimdark, but some of those covers are 😍😍😍. Maybe I'll have to change my mind!
You should! Love a good cover! ❤
Great video! I really want to read Beyond Redemption. Interested in hearing your thoughts. Keep up the great work!
🤞🏻 I get to it this month. It’s been on the TBR forever.
Exciting pile of possibilities! You should def do Empire of the Vampire with all the hype around book 2 now. And Eleventh Cycle is an ExPeriEnCe for sure, I would be curious to hear your thoughts! Happy reading ☺
Those are some long books 🤣 But I am looking forward to reading both!
