I’ve read The Blade Itself - it’s grimdark for sure, mucky, gory but I actually didn’t mind it. I finished the first trilogy in the First Law but decided not to continue.

Should you read the Abercrombie, I'd join you. It's been on my TBR for ages. Mr Y has been on my TBR, too. Had to smile at your "15 book series" - I haven't re-read The Chronicles of St Mary's in a few months. 😜 But I was actually thinking of re-reading Whalen Turner's The Thief. In case you need another series to start.

This is so amazing!! Thank you for making a whole video about the challenge Leni ❤ Loved hearing about your picks for last year and this year. Funnily enough I saw a pristine copy of Ghost Girl Banana in a charity shop today as well. But it was £5 not £1 so I left it 😅 Your copy of The Once and Future King is why ordering books online terrifies me. But hey, perfect for Ug-tober 😂

I've heard great things about Hello, Beautiful!

I enjoy certain kinds of sci fi. I haven't read any Ursula K LeGuin yet. I loved the movie adaptation of Contact, but I've heard the book isn't as good - we have a copy so I should try it some day. How I Won the Novel Prize sounds good. Some interesting sci fi for you. I didn't know about Sci Fi September, so I will have to join in next year! I tagged you in the In Your Wildest Dreams tag yesterday, so I hope you enjoy it!

Love me some cwtching up under a blanket 😊

Tortured Poets Book Club!!!! 😁

Don't watch the Woman in Black alone at night like I did 🤣🤣

Firefly fanfic! *gasp* 🤣 I love the Wayfarer Series and have been putting off reading the last one as I don’t want it to end - I have to get to it by the end of this year, so I keep telling myself anyway. 😏

Skyward Inn - 🎉🎉🎉 - don't worry, I won't quiz you about the content

I like your shirt! My Library only has 6 of the long listed books. I've put Held and My Friends on hold. I've already read Wandering Stars & James, which I enjoyed. I agree with you that it's strange that 2 books haven't been released yet, that seems quite unusual. I think you'd really enjoy The Overstory, it has some great scenes to recall when your mind wanders. I checked out Orbital from Library awhile back but couldn't get into it, perhaps I try again. I enjoy your thoughts.

Loved the blurb reading 🤣

Welcome to Big Book Summer, Leni! I'm glad you discovered the challenge at just the right time and decided to join the fun! Your description of Ducks, Newburyport was hilarious - I love your sense of humor. The Stand is a fabulous book! Stephen King is always a good choice for Big Book Summer. Wow, that is a giant stack of Big Books! Plus, you have more books for Camp Litsy - I really want to read James & have heard All Fours is strange but good. Enjoy all your books this summer! And thanks for linking your video on my blog - I'll share it on social media. Nice to "meet" you!

My paperback copy of Butter has 452 pages so I think it definitely counts, regardless of format. 😊

Repetition of phrases in books DRIVES ME INSANE! Good luck with Ducks! 😆

Restless Dolly Maunder surprised me as well, but I haven't read it yet so I'll see if I enjoy it! I am hoping to also get back into reading some other books that aren't WPF, I do have a bit of a growing list, including a book a coworker lent me so I need to get to that soon haha! Enjoy the new series you'll be starting :)

I would have loved to see And Then She Fell as well! Yes, I'm still not over Wandering Souls not making it last year.

I would be happy if this was the shortlist!! Not long til we find out 😊

I think your chosen list would definitely be a strong one, I enjoyed all of them. I would like to see Nightbloom there

Hi Leni, Have just found your channel! It looks like we have very similar reading tastes, so I look forward to watching more of your videos!

This is so helpful, thank you! Will be recommending to others who are reading from the longlist. I might read these books one day, but I won't read The Blue Beautiful World now unless it makes the shortlist - and if that happens I'll be sure to take your advice about reading the first few pages of book two It's interesting that the judges description was so off for this book - everyone I've seen talking about this book has said the same thing

The parenting advice was everything ❤thank you! I'm not a parent (yet) and this was just great. Thank you

Thanks for the upload.Love listening to your world observations too! Great fun with laughs.

What a fun tradition! Thank you for sharing. Maybe I'll pick The Maiden next as my Easter Crime novel too! Happy reading!

Hi from Australia! Thank you for sharing this tradition and its history, it was really fun and lovely to learn about it! :)

I'm sneaking in a TE Kinsey "Lady Hardcastle" book over Easter. Maybe two. Cozy mysteries set in the 1910s in a small village near Bristol (mostly). They are my current palate cleansers.

Eight Detectives was good!

I skipped your review of Brotherless Night because I haven't read it yet. Will come back for it after I've completed it. I did not enjoy Nightbloom. I think maybe it would have been better if the perspectives were alternating chapter by chapter. I did not like the first narrator so I wasn't surprised that I liked Selesi much more than Akorfa. I have no idea why it was called Nightbloom.

I agree about Western Lane leaving me with a feeling that it could have been a bit more. I loved the Wren, The Wren but I listened to it. It was well produced and Ann Enright read the Carmel parts. I just loved the balance between humor and sadness. It took me on a good ride with great prose.

Hello Levi! I also love how books transport me to another place far away. I read Soldier Sailor and loved it. I do think it would be like re-living the trauma of early motherhood but that aside the actual craft and language were just spectacular. So happy to be a part of this international bookclub where we are all reading, discussing and posting about the same books at the same time. Clicking on your other videos now!

Thanks for the reviews❤

Great review!❤

Biography of x looks interesting. Love to hear your thoughts on it.

Thanks for the reaction video the sci fi one appeals to me most followed by tge sri lanken one/civil war novel. Many Thanks.

Oh fab list of books! Very excited about Tuesday! I have Orbital on my kindle, sounds like I need to move it up my pile!

Hi Leni, welcome to the creative side of Booktube. Love your predictions, some new books for me to check out and any list that predicts Enter Ghost and Julia are pretty good with me. 😊

Fab video! Looking forward to the next one

Welcome to Booktube matey! Looking forward to seeing all your thoughts on this years Women’s prize 🎉

Well done taking the first step with BookTube! It definitely takes a while to stop feeling awkward in front of the camera… tbh I still feel pretty awkward 😂 Love to see your thoughts and plans on the challenge!

Congratulations on your first video!

Great video. I look forward to the next one with your predictions on the Women’s Prize longlist.
