I can't put my finger on it, but this TBR feels so different to the usual lineup. Should be a fun month! And I wouldn't worry about energy levels... once you said you got home at 4:30am, I was just impressed that you were upright because I would be comatose 😂
I completely agree! Some very obscure choices made their way on for sure. Definitely not ones I necessarily would have chosen for July but I'm not mad about it! Ps it's day two from my wild night out & I'm still recovering...🤣
I love the idea of the emoji wheel! I think I’m gonna start doing that. I like that it leaves room for interpretation. I think I would’ve done a grumpy/sunshine romance for the sun/cloud emoji. 🧙♂️
🧙♂️ Can't lie, kinda jealous of the concert, but I'm glad for my sleep too 😂 I would start with the book you chose for the emoji - that sounds so interesting!
🪄🦉 I was ready to go at midnight & my hubby was the one holding in there! But I'm glad we stayed because it was a blast...that took me 5 days to recover from 🤣 I'm so excited for Secret Book of Flora Lea!
Hi I just wanted to say your 1 of my favourite book tubers your fresh take on picking your tbr is fantastic and so entertaining I love your confidence and enthusiasm ❤❤
This was my first video of yours and I love your TBR. As for Mistborn, it’s actually not that complex. The magic system is a little complicated but it’s explained very well. The writing is very accessible and the main protagonist is younger so it really is not intimidating to read.
I don’t think I would have actually waited that long for someone to take the stage! Things starting late (especially over 15 minutes) is a huge pet peeve.
I was ready to leave by midnight but my hubby wanted to hang in there, which I'm glad we did because we did have a blast! However, it took me 5 days to recover because I'm an old lady 😂
"She better do some stretching" omg I am cracking up!! 🤣🤣 Love your energy! I felt the exact same way about TOG. It was 3.5 stars for me too even though I absolutely loove SJM. I've also heard that the series starts to get amazing around HOF. Just finished COM in June and I did like it better than TOG. Also, The Secret Book of Flora Lea sounds so interesting. Adding it to my TBR! 🧙🫶
A lotttttt of stretching it sounds like!! 🤣🤣 I’m so glad you are saying that COM is better than TOG! I don’t mind as long as there’s progression! I can’t wait to hear what you think of Secret Book of Flora Lea! 📖
I read Mistborn in May, and you don’t need to worry. It wasn’t overly complicated. It had a great magic system and characters I’m still thinking about. I hope you enjoy it! The “controversy” around The Last Mrs Parrish is that some people think Freida McFadden’s The Housemaid is a complete ripoff of it. I haven’t read The Housemaid, so I can’t say. Loved The Last Mrs Parrish, though.
Oh wow, thank you for that! Hearing that makes me feel much more confident 💪🏼 Ohhhh I actually think I read something about that! I have read The Housemaid but not The Last Mrs Parrish - I'll have to read it & compare them!
I would have left within the first hour. 1:30 am is outrageous. Especially if you're busy and have things planned the next day! The longest I waited for a concert was an hour and a half and that was due to the stage having technical difficulties with equipment! (Three Days Grace, amazing concert!) Great tbr as always, and I love there's a new edition on the wheel! Happy reading!
Right?! To be honest, by midnight I was telling my husband I was sleepy 😴 🤣 I’m not sure if there were delays for some reason, but it seemed excessive to me! Even though our new edition didn’t come up this month, excited to see when it does in the future! 🪙
Aw thank you! I'm so glad you love them because they're my favorite videos to make! That would have been such a creative use of the ⛅️ emoji! Wish I had thought of that! 💌
Still one of my favourite videos on your channel ❤ I would have loved to have seen future/editing you when going back through the footage once you had caught up on some sleep 😂 Cant wait to see Flip a Coin come up 🪙 "Pick an easy one for me" for emoji spin then get the cloud hiding the sun 🌤 I do love seeing how everyone interprets these differently. My first thought was a mystery/suspense set in summertime as where I live we get a lot of cloud cover/storms in the summer after a really hot day which gives mystery/thriller vibes but in a warm environment 😅 Also I know you started filming really late/early morning but your phone saying it was 1:25am and there were still 20mins of edited time left made me sleepy 😴 😂
Aw thanks love! 💕 & I LOOOOOOVEEEE long comments so keep them coming!!! Give me ALL your thoughts! 💭 Omg while I was editing I was dying when I couldn't say "Brandon Sanderson shelf"...like, girl, THAT'S NOT EVEN A HARD THING TO SAY 😂😂😂😂 Yes! I hope it comes up in next month's video because I think my plan for it could be super cute 🥰 The emoji wheel is quite literally never easy on me 😂 but that's kind of why I love it! Oooo I could totally see the mystery thriller vibes - or maybe even a werewolf vibe with the full moon coming out from the clouds! Ugh! You guys are so creative! Omg I slept literally the entire day trying to recover so I didn't even start feeling a tiny bit energetic until 11:30 pm 😴
I am new here, this is the first video from you that I am watching and I love it! First and foremost - HUGE KUDOS for creating this video on virtually no sleep and very low energy! Second, your organization and keeping track of all the spins is impressive and very cool! Lastly, the emoji spin is very cool and I might add it to my challenges! Atm, I have an alphabet challenge for English and Croatian alphabet where I need to cover all letters of both alphabets with book titles and a Reading The World Challenge where I keep track of all the books I read and the countries the books are based in or the author is based in :)
It took me five full days to recover from my crazy night out!! 🤣 I am a professional at controlled chaos at this point! 🤣 I would LOVE to see you add the emoji spin to your challenges - it's hands down my toughest spin wheel but also the most fun! I love the idea of your alphabet & country wheel!
@@sheisbookedandbusy Alphabet & country wheels /challenges are super fun to do! Especially when 1 book covers 1 letter from each alphabet or multiple countries :D I added the emoji challenge to my Notion, I'm figuring out which rules do I want for it so that it's still fun, but that it doesn't stress me out or overwhelm me :D
You've inspired me to create a couple of spin wheels for my TBRs! 😅Also, about Mistborn, it's really not that intimidating, I think Brandon Sanderson's writing is very easy to get into. Hope you enjoy it! ❤
i really think you’ll love brandon sanderson! his writing is very easy to get into and understand! while some of his more epic fantasy books have complicated magic, mistborn and his kickstarters are super easy and he explains things in a simple way ❤
Omg all of the comments on this video telling me I'll love his writing & building my confidence has completely changed my mindset on Mistborn! I am SO excited now! 🥰
So many books!!! I loved Book Lovers, Belladonna, and Mistborn! I DNF’ed The Wishing Game, haha but I hope you’ll love it. I have been loving Brandon Sanderson lately and am making my way through Stormlight Archive. I was 100% intimidated before starting the series but they’re both in my top 5 of the year so far! So definitely recommend giving him a try and I think Mistborn is a great place to start! ❤️
I’m so excited doe those three! I think those are my most anticipated for this month! I have the Stormlight Archive downloaded on my kindle - hearing that these are some of your favorite series only motivates me more!! 💕
If it’s not too much trouble I would love to see previous month’s tbr in the beginning of the video and just see books you ended up reading that month and what goes back unread ❤
May I suggest an alteration? If there are any books you don't want to read (Frugal Wizard as an example), you can replace them with your other spinners that weren't chosen in the regular part of the game. This allows you to use your other spinners to get out of reading books you aren't in the mood for this month. Additionally, you should be able to double up in your extra spins. This will allow you to keep your numbers down, but still get books you are excited about.
Oooo interesting! Almost like having veto power! 🤣 I like this idea! I do have a "switch out a book" prompt on my prompt wheel that is pretty similar, I think, right?! I'm working on a few additions to the wheel as we speak so let's see if I can incorporate this!
Flip a coin is new! I love your TBR videos so chatico and fun. I was so excited when you got a mystery/thriller on the TBR. I am not a fantasy reader so I have not read a Brandon Sanderson book however I have heard amazing things! I think you will LOVE it. I didn't like the Jessica Ward as much but I hope you like it. You could read Weather Girl for the emoji. LOVE and OTHER WORDS please!!!!! The Wishing Game was one of the best books I read last year.
Excellent spotting of the new slice! 👀 Fun chaos is definitely my vibe! 🤣 I’m always searching on a mystery thriller that I will fall in love with - what do you recommend?! Weather Girl would have been a great option! It’s on my kindle too - wish I had thought of that! I am SO excited for The Wishing Game & hearing you loved it makes me that much more excited! 😆
@@sheisbookedandbusy Riley Sager is my FAVORITE thriller writer. I LOVE The Last Time I Lied. The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides was unputdownable. I started it at 9:00 one night and couldn't sleep until 3:00AM after i finished it. Just to put a a slow mystery option in there: Anything Angie Kim but I personally love Miracle Creek best.
I read House Across the Lake by Riley Sager & did enjoy it! I'll actually be reading Middle of the Night with a bookclub in August 🙂 I have a ton of Alex Michaelides on my shelves & kindle but have never dove in, so maybe I'll have to! Looking into Angie Kim now! Thank you! 💕
🪄💕 I think it’s going to be a great month of reading! I didn’t mind Heart of the Raven Prince toooo badly - fairytale retellings just aren’t my favorites 🧚
I started my Brandon Sanderson Cosmere with The Final Empire. I, like you, was pretty intimidated going in, but the story is engaging and easy to read. Don’t worry - you will be fine.
Wow!! That’s such an ambitious place to start!! That’s amazing!! I’m so glad you have confidence in me - makes me feel much better about starting Mistborn! 💪
You’ll be fine with Mistborn. Of the four special project releases, Frugal Wizard was my least favorite but it was still a fun read. And holy hell I’d have been so mad if the person I went to see in concert came out that late. I’m usually passed out before 10pm. 😆 🧙♂️
Ok so I shouldn’t be intimidated?! Good to know!! I’m looking much more forward to it now! 😀 honestly, I wasn’t super excited about Frugal Wizard until I read the little description & now it sounds like a silly little good time! It was definitely late, but at the same time, my hubby & I were having a ton of fun sooo we rallied!! 💪🏻
The Last Mrs. Parrish has several of the exact same plot points as The Housemaid by Freida McFadden (all the way through, from pivotal scenes, twists, and ending)- and TLMP came out 5 years before, so 👀 to FM.
@@sheisbookedandbusy Thank you!!! I'm so excited about this idea. I hope you don't get overwhelmed by all the wheels, I really enjoy your TBR videos and I look forward to them every month :)
It’s such a fun way to select random books you might not have chosen, right?! I’m so hooked on this tbr method!! Omg I’m so glad that you joined the book club!! Welcome!! 🤗
@@sheisbookedandbusy yes ofc!! also i would fs start with crown of midnight that was a five star read for me!! i also have daisy haites i havent read it yet though, i honestly wasnt the biggest fan of magnolia and bj's book, so im nervous but i hear a lot of ppl like daisy and christian more☺️
I'm excited to jump into COM for sure! I've actually heard from people that you're either a Magnolia & BJ girl or a Daisy & Christian girl sooo let's see which I am! 🌸🌼
@@sheisbookedandbusy ugh it’s so good i think you should!! it’s definitely not your normal greek retelling because it’s modernized and set in nyc and there’s a lot more action and high stakes so it’s definitely easier to read than a typical retelling
I took my husband to go see Tool for our 18th wedding anniversary and we left like 30 minutes in because we were so cramped and hot and it was too much for our 37 yr and 38 old bodies lol
I've liked Farrah Rochon's previous series, The Boyfriend Project. I'd like to read this new one of hers. I'm looking forward to a re-read of Book Lovers - it's been my favorite Emily Henry so far.
Yay! My favorite feature film! Flip a Coin I loved The Wishing Game. I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say it solidified something I hope to do in my life. -Emily
We have a deliriously tired feature film this month! 😂 & good spotting our new pie slice! Even though it didn’t come up this month, I’m excited to see when the first time we can use it will be! Ohhhh wow! You’re making me this The Wishing Game may have to be my next read!
Flip a Coin, Love it! If you need a buddy read and motivation to read Mistborn I am reading it at the moment. It is pretty easy to understand. Haha, Your face when you said 14 books for the month. 🧙♀I would say start with Belladonna, Love & Other Words,Crown of Midnight, Daisy Haites, Book Lovers, The Wishing Game, and Mistborn. My reading month is already looking nuts but I already told myself if I don't get to it this month I am rolling it over to next month. Happy reading!
Great spotting the new edition to the wheel! 👀 ooo how far are you into Mistborn?! I don’t want to hold you back! 14 books made me just a weeeeeee nervous but I’ve got this 💪🏻 exactly, girl, there’s always next month!
@@sheisbookedandbusy I'm almost halfway through the book. It has taken me a while to get there because of other books distracting me. I have been prioritizing library books to read.
@@sheisbookedandbusy Haha, I usually do but this month I have four book club picks to read plus participating in Summerween this year. I am pacing myself after realizing the chaos I created for myself.
By midnight I was telling my husband that I didn't know how much time I had left before I fell asleep 😂 but I rallied & ended up having an absolute blast! 🎊
Sorry for all the comments- but we need another haul- it's been forever... Also did you read a fate inked in blood? I'm not a fantasy girl but I'm loving the Norse fantasy!
Keep the comments coming! They’re my FAVORITE part of everyday! Funny you should mention a book haul because I was just thinking that it’s been a while since I’ve done one! Hmm maybe I should prioritize that this week! 🤔 I haven’t read that one yet but our book club did read The Bridge Kingdom by the same author & I really liked her writing so I want to get into it!
You won't have any issues understanding Mistborn. If there is one common criticism of the trilogy, it's that he explains how the magic works TOO much. I was a newbie to high fantasy when I read it, and I was okay. Just go with the flow and you will understand when Sanderson wants you to. It still stands as one of my favorite series ever. Don't let it intimidate you, you've got this!
That's super good to hear! Definitely makes me more confident in my ability to understand Mistborn! Ohhh so does it get a bit repetitive then?! That makes sense. One of your favorite series EVER?!? Oh my gosh, now I'm SO intrigued by it! 🥰
@@sheisbookedandbusy The plot isn't repetitive, but the explaining the magic system can be repetitive at times. Some appreciate that because it's helpful, some don't like that part as much. I noticed it but didn't mind too much. It's really only in the first book. I didn't notice much, if any, repetition in the second book. Enjoy!!
I was just about say that that sounds like it may be helpful! Especially in the first book when you're trying to get a handle on the magic, characters, worlds, etc. 💘
Pep talk for Mistborn: Brandy Sandy is essentially a middle school boy writing fantasy, you’re fine girl. Literally no shade to him, it’s just not that complicated. Everything felt very surface level throughout the entire series
You had a lot of tongue twisters during your spins this time around. You can look up the emoji's on google to see their meaning, so might help in choosing a book. I hope if you read the book on your spins, you should take those off the wheel, so other prompts, emoji's etc...get to be used. 🧙♂
It always challenges me when I'm at my most tired 😴 Really?! That's good to know & a good idea! I don't actually remove them off the wheel because the wheels take so long to format & make, butttttt I always reserve the right to respin if I decide it's repetitive 🥰
My coworkers and I all dispise Colleen Hoover 😂. Our belief is, she's overrated, and there are so many better books people could be reading. But i guess... if it gets people to ead thats a good thing at least?
She's definitely not my favorite either...I haven't actually HATED anything I've read by her, but they've never blown my mind either...just kind of consistently mid for me. I could agree that she's over rated overall. Very true - any author that makes people read is a win in my book!
Not me audibly gasping when you said 1:30 am
We were having a blast, but by midnight I was ready to get out of there 😴
I would have DIPPPED! I'm 40 and 1:30 is for the zzs.
I couldn't agree more! 😴🤣 It is now day 3 & I'm still recovering...
I can't put my finger on it, but this TBR feels so different to the usual lineup. Should be a fun month! And I wouldn't worry about energy levels... once you said you got home at 4:30am, I was just impressed that you were upright because I would be comatose 😂
I completely agree! Some very obscure choices made their way on for sure. Definitely not ones I necessarily would have chosen for July but I'm not mad about it!
Ps it's day two from my wild night out & I'm still recovering...🤣
That's mid-30s for you! 😂🤣
Truer words have never been spoken 🤣
I love the idea of the emoji wheel! I think I’m gonna start doing that. I like that it leaves room for interpretation. I think I would’ve done a grumpy/sunshine romance for the sun/cloud emoji. 🧙♂️
It’s a really fun way to be creative with my choices! Ooooo what a good use of the ⛅️ emoji! I didn’t even think of that!!
When the emoji popped up I first thought of a grumpy sunshine romance book
Such a creative way to view that emoji! Wish I had thought of that! ⛅️
That’s what I thought too!
Great minds think alike! 💌
🧙♂️ Can't lie, kinda jealous of the concert, but I'm glad for my sleep too 😂 I would start with the book you chose for the emoji - that sounds so interesting!
🪄🦉 I was ready to go at midnight & my hubby was the one holding in there! But I'm glad we stayed because it was a blast...that took me 5 days to recover from 🤣 I'm so excited for Secret Book of Flora Lea!
I feel the emoji give grump sunshine vibes lol ⛅️
Yes! I wish I had thought of that! ⛅️

🧙♂️ I have read Book Lovers. It was my first Emily Henry book and I loved it!! 😍 🥰
30% of the way in & yet another Emily Henry hit for me so far!! 💕
I would have left within the first hour. 1:30 am is outrageous. Especially if you're busy and have things planned the next day! The longest I waited for a concert was an hour and a half and that was due to the stage having technical difficulties with equipment! (Three Days Grace, amazing concert!)
Great tbr as always, and I love there's a new edition on the wheel! Happy reading!
100% agree with the concert. I would have asked for a refund. If they said no I would've eaten it. Way to long of a wait
Right?! To be honest, by midnight I was telling my husband I was sleepy 😴 🤣 I’m not sure if there were delays for some reason, but it seemed excessive to me!
Even though our new edition didn’t come up this month, excited to see when it does in the future! 🪙
We were having a blast though! Fun at the time, but the next day it definitely caught up with me!
I ADORE your crazy spin wheels 😀 (and you
🥹🥹 I ADORE YOU! What a sweet comment!!!! I'm so glad you enjoy the spins as much as I do! 💐
I like it when you count from the top, it's just cohesive and makes sense!!!!!
You get me!! 😍 I completely agree!
Jade city is awesome and not complicated at all.. brilliant seriesx
Oh man! Maybe I should have picked that one! 🤔
I didn't expect your TBR to be so obscure, but I hope you're having a blast with it!
It really was a month of seemingly random picks! But it’s going well so far! 💕
@@sheisbookedandbusy random is good.
Agreed! 💕
Ohh and I'm jealous about Nelly!! My favorite song is Dilemma- I thought I was the stuff crushing around playing that...
He sang that!! It was great!! He had the audience sing out Kelly’s part 😍😍
The cloud and sun emoji gave me very grumpy x sunshine vibes!

You could read Weather Girl for the emoji. LOVE and OTHER WORDS please!!!!! The Wishing Game was one of the best books I read last year.
Excellent spotting of the new slice! 👀 Fun chaos is definitely my vibe! 🤣 I’m always searching on a mystery thriller that I will fall in love with - what do you recommend?! Weather Girl would have been a great option! It’s on my kindle too - wish I had thought of that! I am SO excited for The Wishing Game & hearing you loved it makes me that much more excited! 😆
@@sheisbookedandbusy Riley Sager is my FAVORITE thriller writer. I LOVE The Last Time I Lied. The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides was unputdownable. I started it at 9:00 one night and couldn't sleep until 3:00AM after i finished it. Just to put a a slow mystery option in there: Anything Angie Kim but I personally love Miracle Creek best.
I read House Across the Lake by Riley Sager & did enjoy it! I'll actually be reading Middle of the Night with a bookclub in August 🙂 I have a ton of Alex Michaelides on my shelves & kindle but have never dove in, so maybe I'll have to! Looking into Angie Kim now! Thank you! 💕
Daisy haites is so fun, can’t wait to see what you think! I love her pov a lot more than magnolias!
I’ve heard that you’re either a Magnolia girl or a Daisy girl so I’m excited to see which I turn out to be! 🌸🌻
1:30AM!! That’s insane! I’m 36 and I’m pretty sure I couldn’t handle that 🤣🤷♀️
It took me 5 full days to recover from our wild night out 🤣
The emoji could a grumpy sunshine friendship or multiple family story maybe with a grandparent who is grumpy
Such a creative idea! Wish I had thought of that! 💡 ⛅️
🧙♂ hope you have great reading time with all of this !
(I kinda like the serie of Tessoja Odette actually...)
🪄💕 I think it’s going to be a great month of reading! I didn’t mind Heart of the Raven Prince toooo badly - fairytale retellings just aren’t my favorites 🧚
I started my Brandon Sanderson Cosmere with The Final Empire. I, like you, was pretty intimidated going in, but the story is engaging and easy to read. Don’t worry - you will be fine.
Wow!! That’s such an ambitious place to start!! That’s amazing!! I’m so glad you have confidence in me - makes me feel much better about starting Mistborn! 💪
You’ll be fine with Mistborn. Of the four special project releases, Frugal Wizard was my least favorite but it was still a fun read.
And holy hell I’d have been so mad if the person I went to see in concert came out that late. I’m usually passed out before 10pm. 😆
🧙♂️
Ok so I shouldn’t be intimidated?! Good to know!! I’m looking much more forward to it now! 😀 honestly, I wasn’t super excited about Frugal Wizard until I read the little description & now it sounds like a silly little good time!
It was definitely late, but at the same time, my hubby & I were having a ton of fun sooo we rallied!! 💪🏻
The Last Mrs. Parrish has several of the exact same plot points as The Housemaid by Freida McFadden (all the way through, from pivotal scenes, twists, and ending)- and TLMP came out 5 years before, so 👀 to FM.
Ooo interesting! I've read The Housemaid but never TLMP so I guess I'll have to get on that so I can compare! 🤔
When you did shelf 11 you were so close to getting the book after eragon
I actually thought about that too! 🐉
I know you have a lot of wheels already and things are all over the place (it's my favourite thing about your channel
What a GREAT idea! Plus it would be a great way to introduce me to new authors! You’re so creative! 💜💜
@@sheisbookedandbusy Thank you!!! I'm so excited about this idea.
I hope you don't get overwhelmed by all the wheels, I really enjoy your TBR videos and I look forward to them every month :)
i do my tbr the same way!! i only add what i read the previous month!!
also i joined your book club!! ❤🧙♂️
It’s such a fun way to select random books you might not have chosen, right?! I’m so hooked on this tbr method!!
Omg I’m so glad that you joined the book club!! Welcome!! 🤗
@@sheisbookedandbusy yes ofc!!
also i would fs start with crown of midnight that was a five star read for me!! i also have daisy haites i havent read it yet though, i honestly wasnt the biggest fan of magnolia and bj's book, so im nervous but i hear a lot of ppl like daisy and christian more☺️
I'm excited to jump into COM for sure! I've actually heard from people that you're either a Magnolia & BJ girl or a Daisy & Christian girl sooo let's see which I am! 🌸🌼
A COURT THIS CRUEL AND LOVELY!!!!!
I knowwwww!!!!! I'm 💯% regretting that I didn't choose that one so I may have to deviate from my tbr this month 🙃
Ohhh flip a coin!! Love it... since randomizer solves where to each dinner after 21 years of marriage
Good spotting! You’re so observant! Haha omg us too! We have a spin wheel to help up decide on dinner 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I love your TBR videos 🫶🏻📚
I’m so glad you love them! They’re my absolute favorite to make! 💜
Book lovers was my first Emily Henry book and I loved it
I can’t wait to see how it compares to Beach Read because I am OBSESSED with Beach Read! 🏖️
Omg I LOVE NELLY! Pop off!
He was so good! & even after all this time, I still know EVERY. SINGLE. WORD. to all of his songs 😂
🎉🎉🎉 good morning!
Morning sunshine!!!!! ☀️
You need a do over spin pie slice- so if you are not feeling a book you can re spin it
Ooooo I like this idea! Or maybe a "re-spin" slice where I can choose a book already on the tbr that I may not be 100% happy about!? 💘
Mistborn is supposed to be really good and pretty accessible, I think you will be fine!
Thank you for the vote of confidence! Making me much more excited! 💪
“She better do some stretching!” 😂🤣😂🤣
A loooooottttt of stretching it sounds like!! 😬
ahhh i want you to read lore by alexandra bracken (shelf 11) so badddd!! it’s the book that got me back into reading in 2021
I've been wanting to read something by her! You think Lore is the place to start?! May have to deviate off of my TBR for that one 🤔
@@sheisbookedandbusy ugh it’s so good i think you should!! it’s definitely not your normal greek retelling because it’s modernized and set in nyc and there’s a lot more action and high stakes so it’s definitely easier to read than a typical retelling
I took my husband to go see Tool for our 18th wedding anniversary and we left like 30 minutes in because we were so cramped and hot and it was too much for our 37 yr and 38 old bodies lol
Now THAT is my kind of night 😂 Don't get me wrong, we had a blast, but it's two days later & I'm still recovering 😴
Partly Cloudy emoji I interpreted as a book that maybe sad (grey skies) in the beginning and happy ending (sunshine skies). A bit of a tough one tho
A sad book!!!!! What a great, creative way to interpret that emoji! Wish I had thought of that! 🌥️
I don't finish every series I start in the same year I started it. I choose 1 series to have as my goal to complete in a year.
Definitely! Some series are near impossible to finish in a short amount of time! 😜
I've liked Farrah Rochon's previous series, The Boyfriend Project. I'd like to read this new one of hers. I'm looking forward to a re-read of Book Lovers - it's been my favorite Emily Henry so far.
I’m going to have to look up her previous work! Can’t wait to discuss Book Lovers with you! 😍
Yay! My favorite feature film! Flip a Coin I loved The Wishing Game. I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say it solidified something I hope to do in my life. -Emily
We have a deliriously tired feature film this month! 😂 & good spotting our new pie slice! Even though it didn’t come up this month, I’m excited to see when the first time we can use it will be! Ohhhh wow! You’re making me this The Wishing Game may have to be my next read!
@@sheisbookedandbusy Heart Bones was great too.
She better do some stretching 😂😂😂 💀….i really enjoyed Heart Bones. One of my fave Colleen Hoover books I’ve read ❤ 🧙
Hahahaha!!! Stretching would definitely be advised! 🙆🏼♀️ Good to hear! Now I'm more excited to jump in to it!
Flip a Coin, Love it! If you need a buddy read and motivation to read Mistborn I am reading it at the moment. It is pretty easy to understand. Haha, Your face when you said 14 books for the month. 🧙♀I would say start with Belladonna, Love & Other Words,Crown of Midnight, Daisy Haites, Book Lovers, The Wishing Game, and Mistborn. My reading month is already looking nuts but I already told myself if I don't get to it this month I am rolling it over to next month. Happy reading!
Great spotting the new edition to the wheel! 👀 ooo how far are you into Mistborn?! I don’t want to hold you back! 14 books made me just a weeeeeee nervous but I’ve got this 💪🏻 exactly, girl, there’s always next month!
@@sheisbookedandbusy I'm almost halfway through the book. It has taken me a while to get there because of other books distracting me. I have been prioritizing library books to read.
That's why I try to limit myself to two books at a time...I get too distracted! 🤣
@@sheisbookedandbusy Another recommendation is to get the audiobook. I had to borrow it from Hoopla because the wait on Libby for me was ridiculous.
@@sheisbookedandbusy Haha, I usually do but this month I have four book club picks to read plus participating in Summerween this year. I am pacing myself after realizing the chaos I created for myself.
The way I was SCREAMING for Lease on Love 🤣One of my all time favorite romances. I hope you enjoy it!
Really?! Omg I'm so excited now!!! 😆
@@sheisbookedandbusy yes! I hope you love it!
I loved heart bones!!
That makes me much more excited! 😆
My POOR INNOCENT EARS after listening to you read the synopsis of that Rebecca Quinn book.
I don't even know if I can look you in the eye...
Hahahahahah it shocked me too! I’m sorry! 👀 😬
nothing could have prepared me for 1:30AM 😭
By midnight I was telling my husband that I didn't know how much time I had left before I fell asleep 😂 but I rallied & ended up having an absolute blast! 🎊
My heart when I see Voyage of the Damned: Frances White Illumicrate Edition ignored for F author 😂
OOOO I missed that one! Is it good?! I might have to deviate from my TBR! 🤔
Curious if your prompt wheel is public, would love to use it for myself too hahah
Yes it is! Message me on insta & I’ll send you the link! 😍
Sorry for all the comments- but we need another haul- it's been forever...
Also did you read a fate inked in blood? I'm not a fantasy girl but I'm loving the Norse fantasy!
Keep the comments coming! They’re my FAVORITE part of everyday!
Funny you should mention a book haul because I was just thinking that it’s been a while since I’ve done one! Hmm maybe I should prioritize that this week! 🤔
I haven’t read that one yet but our book club did read The Bridge Kingdom by the same author & I really liked her writing so I want to get into it!
🏃🏽♀️ me running to read ensnared 🫠🤣🤣
RIGHT?!?! 😂

You won't have any issues understanding Mistborn. If there is one common criticism of the trilogy, it's that he explains how the magic works TOO much. I was a newbie to high fantasy when I read it, and I was okay. Just go with the flow and you will understand when Sanderson wants you to. It still stands as one of my favorite series ever. Don't let it intimidate you, you've got this!
That's super good to hear! Definitely makes me more confident in my ability to understand Mistborn! Ohhh so does it get a bit repetitive then?! That makes sense. One of your favorite series EVER?!? Oh my gosh, now I'm SO intrigued by it! 🥰
@@sheisbookedandbusy The plot isn't repetitive, but the explaining the magic system can be repetitive at times. Some appreciate that because it's helpful, some don't like that part as much. I noticed it but didn't mind too much. It's really only in the first book. I didn't notice much, if any, repetition in the second book. Enjoy!!
I was just about say that that sounds like it may be helpful! Especially in the first book when you're trying to get a handle on the magic, characters, worlds, etc. 💘

🧙♂& flip a coin. You have a mighty stack of books this month! I can't wait to hear what you think of some of these!
YES! Super good spotting! 👀 this month’s stack is a long one! 😂
Pep talk for Mistborn: Brandy Sandy is essentially a middle school boy writing fantasy, you’re fine girl. Literally no shade to him, it’s just not that complicated. Everything felt very surface level throughout the entire series
I love this description! It made so much sense to me! Ok now I’m starting to be less intimidated! 💪🏻
I would have been so mad and demanded a refund if an artist made me wait that long. That's ridiculous. Ok back to the video.
On the one hand, I totally agree! But on the other hand, we were having a blast! 💕
There's this really mean prompt that could give you a heart attack, but here goes: read a book to spell out your full/ first name.
Also, if you think 500 books on your Kindle is out of control you'd have an aneurysm if you saw the almost 15,000 books that are unread on mine.
Omg that would give me a heart attack for sure! But I love the challenge! 💪 15,000?!?! You’ve got me beat for sure!!
@@sheisbookedandbusy I like to have options and having a variety of books to rediscover that I own is always fun.
There is NEVER too many books! 😍
I'm also 36 and have 2 kids and I'm tired just hearing you talk about your night out!!
I'm still recovering 2 days later 🤣
You had a lot of tongue twisters during your spins this time around. You can look up the emoji's on google to see their meaning, so might help in choosing a book.
I hope if you read the book on your spins, you should take those off the wheel, so other prompts, emoji's etc...get to be used.
🧙♂
It always challenges me when I'm at my most tired 😴 Really?! That's good to know & a good idea! I don't actually remove them off the wheel because the wheels take so long to format & make, butttttt I always reserve the right to respin if I decide it's repetitive 🥰
@@sheisbookedandbusy that's a good idea
The addition is flip a coin😅am I right?
DING DING! You got it! 😋
🧙♀️🪄❤

How, how is a tbr video an hour long? What conspired here? 😭
Another one of my full length feature films 🎥 🤣
I would be so mad if my concert that was supposed to start at 9 didn't start till 130!!!!! No wonder you were so tired. That is unacceptable
On the one hand, yessssssss…..but on the other hand, we partied like we were 21 again! 🤣🤣
Flip a coin!!!
Yesssss!! I was a little sad it didn’t come up this month but I know it will eventually & the plan I have for it should be fun!! 💕
My coworkers and I all dispise Colleen Hoover 😂. Our belief is, she's overrated, and there are so many better books people could be reading.
But i guess... if it gets people to ead thats a good thing at least?
She's definitely not my favorite either...I haven't actually HATED anything I've read by her, but they've never blown my mind either...just kind of consistently mid for me. I could agree that she's over rated overall.
Very true - any author that makes people read is a win in my book!
Flip a coin?
You got it! Even though it didn't come up this month, I can't wait to get it in the future because my plan for it should be fun! 🤩
