Fate of the Fallen was amazing! It spins the Chosen One trope on its head completely. It’s more what happens when the chosen one fails before he even starts? What happens to the world? Does everyone just lay down and die and let the prophecy come to pass? The chosen one’s best friend decides he won’t let that happen if he can help it. The book follows Aslo, the best friend of the chosen one. So it’s completely different than what you would expect from a chosen one themed book. It helped pull me out of a slump. Also you can’t know what’s in the bag. That’s a huge ass spoiler. 😂😂
I read Fate of the Fallen and the synopsis isn’t super accurate. It’s more about the Chosen One’s best friend helping the Chosen One get home and there are gods involved which I think you will love that aspect. But trust me, the synopsis makes it sound like a different book than it is.
I was also meh about wicked deep and didn't think I cared about winterwood until this box...and I ended up reading it in one sitting. It's so immersive and beautiful! I hope you love it too 😁
Ahahah, I've also recently done a huge declutter/have been trying not to get new books, but your book haul is definitely making me rethink! This month's Owlcrate looks great but the overseas shipping is unfortunately a lot :/
First of all, that lipstick and that sweater...Omg, those colors on you, stunning. I used your code, the owl crate blanket lives in my office and I'm super excited to read Winterwood!
@@ThoughtsOnTomes You should also look at the hardcover under the dust jacket! This book is seriously the most beautiful book I've ever owned, and is my entire aesthetic, I literally can't get over it XDDD (lmao, even if I don't end up liking the book, I'm probably going to keep it anyway, just for the aesthetic XDD)
I feel the same about St. John Mandel. I wasn’t sure about station eleven but I absolutely loved it so I want to read her new book even though I’m not sure about it. Lol
I would recommend Empire of Sand audio rather than physical. I loved it so much I bought a physical copy and reading the physical copy was a whole different experience idk
You might check out some of the covers on Thebookdepository, they ship internationally from the UK. Maybe they have what you are looking for. Shipping is free.
Watching your book haul is always a bad idea for my wallet😆
lol oops
The whole time you were talking about the book I'm over here screaming, "look at the naked book its beautiful!!"
I finally did and OMG IT IS
@@ThoughtsOnTomes even ny husband was like, "whoa that book is fancy". Lol

The fate if the Fallen instantly captured my attention and didnt let my go until I was done.
The cover is so pretty!!😍😍
I loved The Wicked Deep and Winterwood was so good. I thought about you with the woods setting.
Love your videos. Im reading The Priory of the Orange Tree for my Big Ass Book Club. Man its big,
By the time I talked myself into getting the Nov OwlCrate as a treat, they were all sold out. I am kicking myself so hard right now!
boo!
Sam you are killing it in that Green Sweater
The queen of the conquer. Im interested in that if its an actual revenge story. If she falls in love with the guy I will rage quit.
You need to try to film an asmr video, I think you would be perfect for it!
What is the music at the end? I would love to know! :)
its No Copyright Music from Kevin McLeod!
The “enchanted forest...so exciting” gasp though! Lol you’re videos are so awesome
I wish I live in the US or UK for those amazing colorful beautiful cover. In france the cover have to be chic and soooo boring !
