What's the last book you've added to your TBR?
TBR on goodreads: the empress of salt and fortune
Physical TBR: the house of spirits by Isabel Allende.
picture of dorian gray!
Tales of ordinary madness
I just added THE ANOMALY, last night, which is a French translated book that just won the booktube gold 🥇prize award for translated works, iirc
We spread by Iain Ried!! I had no idea this is coming out, and i really enjoyed im thinking of ending things
Her Majesty’s Royal Coven by Juno Dawson is the ultimate witch book this year, fantastic with the best last line ever. I laughed out loud.
Thanks for the rec! I've had this book for a while and just forgot about it, so this is the perfect season to pull it out and actually read it
Thursday Murder Club and Nettle & Bone!! I’m loving this tbr for you
I LOVE Nettle & Bone. It's easily my favourite fantasy book of the year and I didn't expect that at all!
Same! What a pleasant surprise
quickly adds a few to my tBR list
T. Kingfisher (Nettle & Bone) is a really good writer, she's funny!
The last two books I added for this month's TBR was Jar of Hearts and Wrong Place Wrong Time. The last book I added on my general TBR was The Storyteller's Death.
I read Other Birds last month, and actually enjoyed it. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on it. ✨️🖤
Omg I had to laugh for the Gone Girl reference 😂 it was the very first book I read this year, and I finally got around to it because my boyfriend enjoyed the movie and wanted to watch it with me. Cue us playfully arguing over who was the worst character because I kept defending Amy 😂😂🤷♀️🤷♀️
SHE DID NOTHING WRONG
@@BookswithEmilyFox RIGHT??? 😂
Yes, In Cold Blood stands the test of time. It’s an intense nonfiction.
Lol the salt book! I love the random non fiction books about subjects you would never think would be interesting. I just added one to my TBR called The Seed Detective: “the secret histories of remarkable vegetables” 😂😂😂😂 just adding the salt book to my TBR!
I'm reading The Thursday Murder Club and loving it so far! I'm also on hold for Two Parts Sugar, One Part Murder, and Peg and Rose Solve a Murder at my library. Very excited to read it! 💛 Cozy mysteries are my favorite.
I was about to say that the Empress of Salt and Fortune wasn't about women rage, but the most quoted line from that book is "Angry mothers raise daughters fierce enough to fight wolves," sooooooo....
(One of my favourite books, waiting for the 3rd one is killing me!)
Just discussed Other Birds 2 days ago. Really good. Everyone liked it a lot in our club. Her book Garden Spells was good also. Must finish Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow. Very good. Another one liked by our group. The title comes from Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5, I think. Fun to look up. The Thursday Murder Club. Another goodie. Book 2 was good as well. Book 3, The Bullet That Missed, came out in September and I am also on hold for it at my library. Hope this was helpful and so glad I subscribed!
I'm loving this cozy mystery journey for you! I have the audiobook for Salt but haven't listened because it's just so long. I'll wait for your review 😂
Love your sweater. Just added a lot of the books in this video
Salt is one of my favorite books! I found it fascinating!
Saw you reading Vita Nostra recently and I went ahead and read it, it was a ride. Super thought-provoking.
I think about it every day 😂
When I can’t seem to push through a task, I think like “ a slap to bring me back to focus” and chuckle 🤭
But that’s been working actually, because I have realized the same with my own self, sometimes all it takes to crack a task or finish an annoying chore is just to persist a little longer.
I’m excited to read Other Birds because one of her books was a favorite!
Empire of pain was really good!
The Neapolitan Novels would be a great entry for a video about female rage! You definitely need to continue on in that series 😆
I think you'll really enjoy Nettle & Bone (seriously, it has a demon chicken!) and The Thursday Murder Club. I just finished the 3rd book in the Thursday Murder Club series, The Bullet That Missed. The 1st book is good and introduces you to the main characters, but 2nd and 3rd are even better. Quite a few of your TBRs from this video are already on my list, but I've added The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, Salt, and The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs (Mammals was already on my list). And so the list grows and grows.
Great video, lady Emily! I read that The secret life of groceries is also a good non fiction one, I will read that one soon.
Yes been loving cozy mystery’s latly maybe bc I’m getting older. Penance is pretty good hope you enjoy. Look closer was def a twist and turn one.
A lot of great picks and looking forward to hearing your thoughts on them. I loved Nettle and Bone and The Thursday Murder Club series is so much fun (you do have to suspend your disbelief though hahaha). Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow didn't unfortunately work for me, but hopefully you will enjoy it. Happy reading 😊
Rise and Reign of the Mammals is great. One of my favorites of the year.
Salt was really good! I love 'microhistories' like that. I just finished another nonfiction you might like, An Immense World by Ed Yong, about how differently animals sense the world. Also audio, and I found it both interesting and engaging.
"Salt" will take you a lot less time to read.
I remember reading it at a wee bookstore, sitting on their floor, with a (too affectionate) shopcat nearby.
It's good and engaging!
Thank you for the non fic recommendations! Just borrowed four of those from my library 😊 I just finished reading the kaiju preservation society by John scalzi and it got me out of a reading slump
Kia Abdullah's books are well written and worth you taking a chance. So many of your titles are being added to my wishlist!
SO EXCITED!!! 📖📙❤️❤️📖📚📙📙📙📖📖📖📙📙🍁🍁🍁🍂🍂🍃👻👻👻🍃👻👻🎃🎃🎃🍁🍁🍂👻👻🍃🍃🍂🍂👻👻🍃🍁🍁🍃👻👻🍃🍂🍂📙📖📚📚📖📙📖📖🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃📖📖📙📖
I absolutely loved The Thursday Murder Club. And I really enjoyed The Man Who Died Twice too. I can't wait to read the third one soon. Definitely want to read Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow ☺
Yes!! I want to read nettle & bone so badly
Yesss! Gone girl recommendations! The only similar that I liked was The kind worth killing. The rest I have read were flops. Btw love the thumbnail colours.
I feel you with the not being super into fantasy lately! It's so weird for me but I just want to read thrillers (not ya thrillers).
My country has a great way of running libraries. Every library is your local library. You can order books etc from any library in the country to any other library in the country and return to any library in the country. I''m surprised in this day and age it isn't more common in other parts of the world.
the US and Canada are awfully big geographically speaking to pull that off. I'm in a small town in the US, and my library is part of a consortium with half a dozen other libraries in the region. We can order books from any of them and utilize their digital copies via Libby app also.
The Thursday murder club is such a fun read!
Can't wait!
Death Stalks Kettle Street by John Bowen is a small town, cosy? murder mystery I loved! and I never hear anyone talk about it
Nettle and bone is really great
The Good Girls Guide to murder is very good I have read all three.
Great TBR!
I also have a bunch of these on my TBR, The Thursday Murder Club, the Cruelest month, The Last, the sequel to Magpie Murders, etc! I'd recommend The Stranger Diaries if you liked Magpie Murders...It's not really a cozy, but in the same ballpark as Louise Penny I'd say. I'm going to start Foe by Iain Reid, which I've heard is dark and weird, and I've just finished The Ex Hex which was very enjoyable! PS I just heard Ariel and Raighleen discuss an end of the year book tag on their podcast books unbound, and the list is also somewhere on Ariel's booktube, but it basically discusses your book reading plans and strategies for the rest of the calendar year :) if you are looking for a video suggestion, you might like it!
Omg I would *love* to see a “revenge” story recommendations video (in the vain of Gone Girl and They Never Learn)! I didn’t realize Empress of Salt and Sorrow had that theme, definitely checking it out now 🤩
audiobooks are also so expensive ! so getting it from library is great
OMG I stopped reading Louise Penny after not liking book 2 as well! Interested to see how the 3rd is for you 👀
"The old woman with the knife" by Gu Byeong mo is today's audible daily deal in the US, I just bought it. Sounds like something you might like but I don't know if it's on sale in Canada
The Witches on Moonshyne Manor i can’t wait to read it OBSESSED with anything witches ❤
Other commenters got me to read the Empress of salt and Fortune, it was great. Book 2 is even better and book 3 comes out later this month! if you have a spot I strongly suggest adding book 2 to your waitlist. They are very short and it would count as finishing another series.
PS the audio books are fantastic.
i'm 14th in the hold line for wrong place wrong time at my library 😭😭 I will be reading some of these in the meantime :)
I love libraries but waiting is hard lol
Will you do a video for beginner urban fantasy for beginners? I’m trying new genres from my normal historical fiction and thrillers
I'm interested to hear what you think about your next try with Louise Penny. I think I've read four of hers, and I kinda love them but also kinda hate them. I spent a few years living on the western border of Maine, close enough that we would drive to Quebec City now and then, so the setting of her books feels really real to me. However, I think her little clique of characters seems so pretentious. I just gave up after a few books... Might try another one eventually, but overall I'd give them a solid "meh."
My most recently added book to my TBR is Small Game Hunting At the Local Coward Gun Club by Megan Gail Coles. My family is from Newfoundland, and I have the feeling this isn't going to be a superficial, feel-good Newfoundlandish book. Coming from a very complicated family myself, I'm hoping this book will feel authentic even if unpleasant.
Last thing- I also pay for an extra library membership! I live in a county with a tiny library system, but we're in a suburb next to a much larger city and their library system. They actually send out a calculation every year of how much it would cost individually to borrow as many books as I do, and it's unreal how good of a value it is. Especially since they have a ton of books and audiobooks on Libby, so a lot of times I don't even have to drive twenty minutes to get over there.
empire of pain was such a wild ride
I have a lot of books on my tbr at the moment... But all I'm doing right now is rereading the poppy war 😂😂
I picked up Louise Penny's The Madness of Crowds and rhat was fantastic - and i neber knew it was a series ill have to backtrack now bc i enjoy rhe characters and how they suss out a situation and loved the small town vibes - try that one too if you dont like book 3
I LOVE Cozy Murder Mystery books. One of my favorites are…..Vish Puri series, Jim Juree, Dr.Siri Paiboun and Agatha Raisin.
Do A Good Girl's Guide to Murder as an audiobook. So much better. I really enjoyed In Cold Blood. I had to read it for school and I found it really chilling.
Just a heads up, I couldn't tell from your description if you knew, but In Cold Blood is nonfiction.
I recommend Laziness Does Not Exist by Devon Price over Burnout. I found it much more validating and easier to digest and relate to amid burnout
I really loved Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, which is kind of surprising as I usually don’t enjoy YA books that much. highly recommend listening to it as an audiobook!
I’ll forever envy people in Canada and US for having ebooks and audiobooks available in libraries 😭
I loved Confessions and Penance but I enjoyed Confessions more.
so ready for the emily dunn did nothing wrong vid!
In Cold Blood is intense and definitely stands the test of time.
Yessss nettle and bone❤❤
I read about 1/2 of Salt, and I like parts of it, some parts are too dry. I really want to finish it, but it's hard to go back to because of the dry parts.
In Cold Blood was fantastic. I couldn’t put it down, though the subject matter is incredibly upsetting. Last book I added to my TBR is The Haunted by Bentley Little. Trying to read horror this month!
Idk what it is about the Illinois library system, but my library card gives me access to basically every library in IL south of Chicago lol, so inquire at your library, everyone, if your library system is similar.
I wish it were the case here but at east with two library cards I get to put 30 books on my waiting list so... it's technically enough lol
I recommend House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland. It’s a mystery/horror novel. Very good.
Idk if it has something to do with ‘unhinged women’ but I am in dire need of book recommendations that is similar to the series ‘ Fleabag ‘ !!! I LOVE that series so much and I really want to discover books/series that are similar 💜
Would loooove a video about books about unhinged women! I’ve heard it called “good for her” books/movies and I am a fan!
Funny you say that because I filmed it yesterday morning and definitely used those words XD
@@BookswithEmilyFox ahhhhh I can’t wait to watch it!
You should check out Kelley Armstrong 🇨🇦 Rockton Series 😊
Holy crap I had NO IDEA that The Dawnhounds existed before you said anything and I've IMMEDIATELY decided that I MUST READ IT. 'Fiercely queer' for one thing, thank you Rebecca Roanhorse, but also the synopsis sounds brilliant. THANK YOU! :D
I understand, domestic thrillers don't do it for me either. I've tried, I just can't get into them, even when they are well written.
Of your list I can recommend Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher.
I’m surprised you haven’t heard of In Cold Blood! It’s often considered the first true crime book. Capote was Harper Lee’s bestie too! But yes it absolutely stands the test of time. It’s bone chilling 🥶 Excited to hear ur thoughts!
Blitzed by Norman Ohler
I don’t usually like reading mysteries, like at all and I’m currently 70% into a good girls guide to murder and so far it’s honestly up there with one of my fav books I’ve read this year it’s done so well
Oh that's good to hear!
Nettle & Bone was fine. I didn't think it was like, stellar.. but it was a nice read, you know? I think you could really enjoy it! I love the unhinged women video idea hahaha.
i read in cold blood earlier this year and it was..... interesting. also dense and disturbing. capote made me heavily empathize with a murderer, who killed an entire family for NOTHING, and for that i don't think i can ever revisit this (real life) story again
in cold blood is actually nonfiction, it's famous because it's sort of the original "true crime." I think you might enjoy it, but there are a few weird ethical issues that it brings up. I'll be interested to see what you think!
If you do a revenge video, you should read Jane Doe by Victoria Helen Stone first so you can include it.
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is really, really good. If you like it, definitely read the second one, too, but skip the third. There's such a tonal change that it's really honestly jarring? It almost ruined my love for the first two books in the series, tbh.
I finished The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches today and it's so, so cozy. I actually really liked the way magic was described in it.
Could you build on that land if you wanted to? In Scotland
Missed adding wheel of time : The great hunt 😂
Hello Emily. I like you channel much. Everytime I see new video I very happy to click :)
I just have question, that have for long. What the word you say at start of videos? I never can understand 😅 Ivywan? lol I googled and just cant find nothing. Kisses and success!
Thank you :)
I actually just say "Hey everyone" guess my accent is still there XD
You should try The Manningtree Witches by A.K. Blakemore. It is a historical fiction about the witch trials in England, but it is written by a poet. The writing is AMAZING. It is also feminist.
”Brownies and Broomsticks:A Magical Bakery Mystery” by Bailey Cates is supposed to be the first book in a cosy murder mystery series with a hint of magic ☺️ I havn’t read it yet but I want to! Has anyone read it? Is it any good? It has good reviews online 🙌
There's a book 3 in the Thursday Murder Club.
I just read Salt earlier this year and I found it to be so boring. Every chapter was so formulaic of like introducing some culture and then describing some way they use salt (usually different dishes). It took me getting the audiobook from the library 4 times to finish it, and it’s only 13 hours 😅
Your Libby wait times goes up to how long!? The most I’ve seen in my Libby is 5-6 weeks
Just checked Libby for my library….17 week wait for Thursday Murder Club 😅 that’s why I typically just borrow physical copies because the ebooks and audio books take too long to get them. Usually I only browse the available now option.
It seems to really depend on the library! I have access to two so I sometimes see big differences (6+ months vs available now) lol
I just bought a 5 sq foot plot of land 😂
My lady 👸
So not really related to the mystery thriller topic but can someone explain how does borrowing an audiobook work and why is there a waiting list? Isn’t it like audible were you choose a book and then it’s downloaded into your phone? I don’t have access to libby in my country so it’s very confusing to me. Are they “artificially “ enforcing a waiting period for a book to be available in your app? The curiosity’s killing me 😂😅
Do you have Overdrive? It's the same but better. Essentially it's an app on your phone where you can connect with your library and download ebooks/audiobooks. You can add some books as "holds" (waiting list to borrow the book) the amount depends on the library (I have access to two. One let's me put 10 books on hold and the other 20). You can "pause" your hold if you're not ready to borrow it so it will let the next person in line get it. It's the best!
*Libraries still have to buy digital copies which can only be loaned a certain amount of time. That's why we have to use waiting lists.
It works likechecking out a library book they only have a number of copies so you have to wait in line for them if that makes sense in Ireland they have a similar app to Libby called borrowbox
@@BookswithEmilyFox thank you for the explanation. Makes sense now. I'll look into overdrive 😘
@@maralunala9626 thank you 😘
Hey, so can anyone let me know if it's necessary to read Magpie Murders before Moonflower Murders? Thank you 😄
❤️📚
I'm surprised that you're enjoying Tomorrow & Tomorrow & Tomorrow since it gave me MAJOR normal people vibes... I had to dnf at 50% because I could not stand the writing style or the characters 😂😭
Wholesome modern day witches rec: "Her Majesty's Royal Coven" by Juno Dawson
In Cold Blood is Narrative Non-Fiction
Are you doing Nonfiction November?
No, I fear it would put me in a slump. I would possibly attempt it if I hadn't already read so many this year!
Hi
Ela é linda e não é pouco. Deus!!! Que deusa. 💐
How many book do you read per year usually? I tried to read 3 books a week (bestsellings on Amazon) and it was an amazing experience. I made video (tiny hint I know), if you are interested I will be very grateful. XOXO
I gave up on Louise Penny after book 3 or 4. Just didn’t care about the characters.
Ouf... I'm still hoping I'll like the series since it's so popular but we'll see
