“And then she meets a hot lawyer” made me laugh so hard for some reason 😂
😂😂😂 because of course she does
Six Crimson Cranes is so good, and the second book in the duology was maybe even better! Also those three classics are some of my all time favorites.
Ok YAY I am so excited!
FYI: The black dots on the books are called remainder marks. Books get those when stores have them as overstock or aren’t selling due to slight damage, so they sell them back to the publishers for credit. The publishers then put the remainder marks on the books (to make sure they don’t get returned again for a second credit), and are then sold to discounters (such as Book Outlet) which in turn sell them for cheap prices.
Ahhhhhhh ok this makes sense!!
A little tip for trying to get into classics. Read along in the book while listening to the audiobook. I feel I understand them more, especially the Jane Austen types. I started doing that and I've read so many classics and enjoyed them.
Oh interesting! Where is your fav app to listen to audiobooks?
@@jaimefok Everand is great.
LEGENDBORN is one of my favorite reads of this year! It’s so so good! Also, go glad I stumbled upon a fellow booktuber. You got some great books! Can’t wait for your thoughts!
I’m so excited to get into it!! Thank you love ❤️
Existed to see you diving into classics❤love the variety in your readings
I’m excited as well, thank you!! ❤️
I love Stephen King! I have never seen a movie made from his books because I think it can't compare with the way he writes a thriller. My favourite one so far is Billy Summers🤗
I’m excited to see what his writing is like!
I'm dying to read one his books to see how the righting is compared to some movies they have to be so good !! The only one that I can imagine being equal is cujo lol even as an adult that movie was mad so well being that it's literally an entire movie based on a rabid dog 😂
Amazing book haul 😍😍 Cant wait to see what you think of the classics!
Once I feel brave enough to dive into them😂
I love bBook outlet! But goodness I always get in trouble every time I shop there 😅
😂😂😂
Woah, very excited for the classics review! Jane Austen also has lots of very accessible and fun to read books, highly recommend.
I didn’t like pride and prejudice 😂😂😂 but open to trying more of hers!
I gasped when you pulled out legendborn!! I’m so excited to see what you think 🤗
I can’t wait to get into it!
SO many good books in this haul 📚🔥 definitely adding some to my tbr 🙈
🎉🎉🎉
SO many amazing-sounding books! 😍 “The Great Gatsby” is my all-time favorite classic book. Sometimes I’ll just read random pages of it, or one line over and over, because the writing is so beautiful. F. Scott Fitzgerald spins magic with words. ♥️
Awww I love that!
The Legendborn Cycle is my favourite series on this planet. I have read Legendborn three times and Bloodmarked twice. I will be rereading them AGAIN next year in preparation for Oathbreaker (the third book) and I recently bought the first two as paperbacks so I can keep my hardcovers pristine and I can annotate my favourite parts in the paperbacks!
Ohhhhhhh ok I’m excited!!
@@jaimefok also I will tell you there are no fae in this story at all 😂 it revolves around the legend of the round table and King Arthur!
Surprised Book haul, so excited 🤩🤩
YAY!
I’m definitely going to be adding life’s too short to my TBR!
YAY!
Love the book hauls! So many new books! Gallant, Bone season and Trial of the sun queen sounds interesting! Would also like to hear your thoughts on Holly. 😊
I’m so excited for ALL the books!
I love your videos so much!!!
Thank youuuuuu❤️
This is sooo fun & I love seeing all the books you purchased or were given. Book Outlet online is everywhere, but I haven’t had the best luck with them. Your books seem great! Maybe I need to try them again. You selected some terrific books! Can’t wait to see you read all of these and see what you think.
Oh no, really? What happened with your books?
@@jaimefok They were just much more worn or damaged and tossed around in the box. It was a few years ago though, and I remember hearing about a few people complaining about the condition of their books, so I’m wondering if they made some changes.
Yayyyy so many new booksss 🥹🩷
Highly recommend :
this could be us (rated it 5 stars also before i let go)
Also i almost go blindly when it comes to mood reading a book and uhuh you made me want to pick up "Life is too short" coz sameee i read those 3 books that you read and i completely agree the way you described her writing and story plots.💯
WE LOVE NEW BOOKS! I’m excited to get into all of them ❤️
Yes would love a classics YT video! I finished The Count of Monte Cristo last month and definitely needed a total change of genre lol.
Will see when I’m in the mood for classics week!!
Book haul.. Yay!
🎉💃🏻
Rock those books, baby, just rock them!
Loved Six Crimson Cranes and The Bone Season is also fantastic!
Ohhhh I’m excited!
Love life is too short! Audiobook was sooo good!
Ouuuu I can’t wait!!
Hi Jaime ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good morning thanks for starting my Sunday amazingly
Good morning!! Thank you for brightening my day ❤️
Trial of the Sun Queen and six crimson cranes are so goood
Ouuuu yay I’m excited!
The book outlet boxes have an easy open on top! :)
REALLY??! Haha how did I miss that 😂
Six crimson cranes is actually a duology and it's one of my favorites, also that's a prequel out as well
OHHHH ok ty❤️
I just added Six Crimson Cranes to my TBR 😁🖤
YAY!!
Yay for Stephen King!
I’m a huge SK fan, I have all his books. Holly is so good!!
I forget if he talks about her past in “Holly” but she is a recurring character in a few of his books. She was first introduced in his Bill Hodges Trilogy, and then again in the stand-alone The Outsider (highly recommend, it’s crime / horror / mystery type book), and she was in a short story in his novella If It Bleeds. There’s no need to read all of that first, just enjoy Holly tbh, but I wanted to mention it just in case.
Also if you ever want to try more Stephen King I’d recommend 11/22/63, Billy Summers, The Institute, Fairy Tale, and then maybe go for some of his older stories if it peaks your interest.
I’ll quit yapping now, happy reading!! ✌🏻💛
Yes, someone else mentioned this as well! I’ll hopefully be able to enjoy this one without the context 😂 Fairy Tale from SK sounds so intriguing to me!
I can't wait to get to Five Survive ! I read Kill Joy and Looooooooved it !
omg i am so excited!!
@@jaimefok Happy to have find another Canadian reader here ☺️🤍
Big haul! I feel guilty if I buy more than 5 😂 ps you can try to remove the marker with nail polish remover of something like this. If done carefully it could work.
I’ll maybe try a few things!
Very excited to hear about Lunar Love and Life’s too Short.
I have not read Anna Karenina, it has been sitting on my shelf for such a long time😅 the size of it is so daunting. I need to just commit to it.
I did just finished Daughter of the Moon Goddess and I can’t wait to see your review of that one.
Currently creating lunar love- stay tuned!!
Ahhh you discovered Book Outlet, RIP your bank account! The prices are so good, especially around holidays. I still have 3 unopened boxes from a while ago, because I keep getting more before getting through my TBR.
❤
I can’t believe how good the prices are!! I’ve been meaning to try book outlet for so long now 😂😂
Just found your account and immediately subscribed because ''canadian girlies'' haha 💕 😊
YAY CANADIAN GIRLIES ❤️❤️❤️
LEGENDBORN!!! It’s an Arthur retelling
I’m excited!!
Legendborn!
I’m excited!!
New subscriber like the book haul,
Welcome to the fam!!
Impressive haul. I read Five Feet Apart a few years back after I saw the movie. I liked it a lot. Seeing the movie first didn’t ruin it for me
great to hear!! i'm excited to read it :)
Anna Karenina is one of my faves 😍
It’s so thick 😂😂
@@jaimefok yes but it’s worth it 🫶🏻😂
I've never read a Stephen King book, yet, but I would go that route. But, that is most likely because I'm not a big romance girly. I can handle a bit, but it is not my go to. I'm currently reading another Jaime Jo Wright book and sometimes I find the romance in those books to be annoying, but then I warm up to it. So, maybe one day I'll warm up to romance books.
Totally fair!!
I HIGHLY recommend the Anna Karenina audiobook narrated by Maggie Gyllenhaal. It was incredible!
Good to know, thank you! ❤️
sticker goo can be wiped off easy with Goo Gone.
Ouuu good tip!
📚
I personally wouldnt start with Holly because its the backstory of a main character in another Stephen king trilogy called Mr. Mercedes. I recommend Billy Summer or 11/22/63, those are stand alones 😊
Oh good to know!!
I have been seeing ´trial of the sun queen’ everywhere for awhile. I NEED an opinion about it. If it’s good, what are the tropes…
Hopefully will get to it soon!!!
FORGET ME NOT IS SO GOOD please read it !!!!!
OUUUUU ok!!!
❤❤❤
We have succesfuly just very easily and very quickly added 18 books to my tbr! *police cirene sound* Sorry, i just laughed so hard at that moment. Looks like police of the huge physical tbr`s are coming for you 😄
Whoops 😂
The marker on the book is so people don’t try to return them retail stores
Interesting!!
Taherrah Mafi is the author of the shatter me series so if she had read that before then she would recognize the name of the author 😊
I haven’t read shatter me, but yes I am familiar with it!
I just finished Little Women and the sequel Good Wives and it was a very wholesome experience, if you leave out the rather sexist concepts of masculine and feminine of the time period. Love from Italy❤
Good to know, thank you! ❤️
I know you love Kristin Hannah so I wanted to say, HER BEST BOOK IS THE GREAT ALONE (sorry for the aggression but I know you will LOVE IT)
LOL I KNOW I WANT TO READ THAT ONE. I actually saw it on book outlet but it only came in a box set that included two of her other books that I already have. But I know I need to read this at some point 😂❤️
I love gallant. Just warning you, it reads a bit like children's horror lol similar vibe to Coraline. I don't think it's actually children's, I think I just got that vibe because it's about a child who thinks and acts like a child but with a lot of dark elements or more adult issues surrounding the child.
Ok this is so intriguing!!!
This marker dots are suspicious🤔
I think it’s just a way of tracking/organizing the books… since book outlet sells a lot of overstock
The black dots on the books are called remainder marks. Books get those when stores have them as overstock or aren’t selling due to slight damage, so they sell them back to the publishers for credit. The publishers then put the remainder marks on the books (to make sure they don’t get returned again for a second credit), and are then sold to discounters (such as Book Outlet) which in turn sell them for cheap prices.
