Codie: ashamed that she has had books on her TBR for 2-3 years Me: slowly slides into the cave I've made out of books I've owned for over 5 years and still haven't read
Something I'm doing with my TBR vets next year is a "These Books Will Self-Destruct in 12 Months" ala Becca. Read them in 2020 or unhaul them, no exceptions. You also have a lot of Halloween-specific ones, so you could do a mini readathon for yourself doing spooky reads during spring. Oh! Spooky Spring is a great name.
“So, now let’s talk about the pile of shame!” Literal LOL while not making eye contact with my bookshelf, which has unread books that I moved with 6 years ago...🙈
Honestly, I don't usually enjoy TBR videos because I'm a big mood reader and don't have any monthly goals, so I can't relate to planned reading. I look forward to your TBR every month, though. I always get a kick out of that little wheel!
you could always make a prompt that says 'Codies videos' just if you want to not be so overwhelmed with how many books you have on there and glad to see you are doing well love you, sweetie
I have so many books on my TBR that have been on there for years. I made a stack and got my husband to pick 10 I have to read for my 2020 reading challenge! The Year of the Flood is really good! I finished the series earlier this year and this it was my favourite. Hope you like it!
Oh my Goodness Codie!! Dreams of Gods and Monters!!!!!! I think that is my favourite trilogy of all time!! Laini Taylor is a legend!! Please read it immediately!!!
Honestly loved Dreams of Gods and Monsters. The whole series was great. But once you have stopped a series for a while sometimes it's hard to be motivated to finish. Especially when they are long!!
Dracula (as well as Frankenstein) is definitely one of the books I've wanted to read for ages and it hasn't happen yet :- ) Good luck with getting to all of these soon-ish! :- )
Year of the flood starts out in the same timeline as oryx and crake did but following someone else as well before the timeline catches up with book 1 (if I remember correctly). But I love the series and hope you enjoy it too.
When you do your next Wheel, see if you can fit as many of these books as possible into the prompts. Or just do a month where you read all of these books - done and dusted!
Never Let Me Go is so good! I saw the movie first also but knowing the twist doesn't take away from the story at all, in fact if I remember correctly you learn the twist pretty early in the book. It's more of an ethically driven coming of age story? I always find it hard to describe but there's a lot different from the movie so it felt fresh to me.
Me: Side eyes 2012 releases on my shelf lol One of the things I do with my bullet journal is create a "Hidden Potential" page for each month. Then I list books that would be great fits. October always gets filled up quickly. It's harder for me to ignore it when it's on paper in a list that I *must* check off. It also helps me keep my spending in check lol
Thanks! It’s honestly because I only really started my collection when I began making videos for Booktube. My kindle tbr however...we don’t talk about that haha
Read Dracula! I am a big fun, but more importantly, I taught it a few times, and my college students always loved it, which says a lot, as this was a required class, and most of them weren’t exactly readers 😆
Stopping to comment about the Tim Burton book. The heart with all the pins in it-my wife has that tattooed on her chest. She loves that book and all the illustrations. We have little figures of each character too.
Please read the Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Dracula! They’re some of my favorites! If it makes you feel better, I have 600+ books in my personal library that I’ve been hoarding since I was a teenager. Of those, I’ve probably read around 200. My TBR is so long that I’m not sure if/when I’ll ever finish it.
I highly recommend the full cast audiobook with Alan Cumming and Tim Curry for Dracula. They did such a great job bringing the story to life. As much as I love classics, I am not sure I would have enjoyed the story as much if I had read it physically. Hope that helps! Love your channel 😃
Never Let Me Go is amazing, you should definitely give it a chance. I think the movie is a great complement to the book, and even if you remember the twist, it will still be enjoyable!
I’d say Never Let Me Go is still worth reading! I didn’t know anything about the story going into it so it got me good haha but I think even if you do know, it’s still written so well and there might be fun little hints that you could pick up throughout it since you’d be aware of what’s actually going on??
I read Underground Railroad last month because it was a vet for me too -- I struggled with it though. I could tell it was good, the writing was great, it just wasn't for me. Loved this video!
1. The Underground Railroad was great. 2. Doctor Sleep was so much better than I expected it to be; King is hit or miss for me. 3. The entire Maddaddam trilogy is excellent when taken as a whole. Keep going!
I preferred the book of dr sleep to the shining. Sooooo good Underground Railroad is really good. I read never let me go before I watched the film, but I would still say to read it because it’s amazing!! X
I recently read Dracula, didn't find it dull at all. It's not as scary as one would expect, it's not really a horror story in a gruesome kind of way. I would rather call it a paranormal mystery. It's told in mixed format from different perspectives, mostly through diary entries and letters, which I found quite interesting. It also tells us a lot about Victorian society and manners as well as medical ideas for physical and mental illness at the time. I gave it four stars, definitely recommend it.
I have read the underground railroad and it is amazing, it was so good because it felt maybe like a lot that one slave can go through but it felt very real and terrifying. And yes, the underground railroad is a place in it book rather than just only a group of people who help slaves but it is for me a far stretch to call that magical realism (I never use that term, so maybe I just don't understand it right) You definitely should pick it up sometime soon.
Yes! So glad you enjoyed it, you’ve definitely reignited my interest :) I’ve heard a few people describe it as magical realism but that doesn’t sound too accurate now haha
Love all of Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy! Do you have book to screen prompt to read a book that is already or in production for film or TV programme?
I’m seconding both Never Let Me Go and The Year of the Flood, the first because it's absolutely fantastic and the second because I too need to read it and want inspiration. 😅
I'm hard to please with vampire stories but Coldest Girl In Cold Town was one of the ones i loved. And i would say its not really a Halloween read, it would fit any time of the year.
If you are a huge Parks & Rec fan, then you must read Yes Please. It's really good. Also, Dracula is a perfect winter read. It's a great book and the setting fits perfectly with winter, IMO. Also, I would really like ot hear what you think about it. Please pick it up soon! :-)
Ahhh Never Let Me Go is one of my favourite books ever. Easily in my top 10 books of all time. I love it so much. Compared to the book, the movie sucks haha. The book is amazing. Not going to lie, it’s so much better if you don’t know the twist because it’s revealed slowly and the unease as you read just grows and grows. I wish I could wipe your mind hah!
If you love The Shining, you’ll love Doctor Sleep I think. The movie actually manages to be a sequel to both book & movie... but you should definitely read the book first!
Aaah girl Dracula is so good!! It's a slow build but worth it! Never let me go also still worth reading, I'm slowly working my way through Stephen King... So many good books :)
Two years doesn't sound long at all, which I guess says a lot about the state of my shelves. ;) I read Dracula this year for Halloween and really liked it! It felt much more modern than I was expecting. I listened to the Audible version with a full cast though (including Alan Cumming!), so it might be more dry in text. I didn't like Never Let Me Go at all, the movie was better (and I watched that a couple of years after reading the book). But lots of people love the book so it's a bit of a hit or miss, I guess. :) I only read it because Joss Whedon mentioned it as one of the inspirations for his show Dollhouse.
I am reading Doctor Sleep now and I am actually enjoying it more than I did The Shining. I actually didn't care much for The Shining book or movie but I thought the book was ok enough for me to want to finish it.
I would love to read Dracula! My dad loves horror, but I don't really like, it but, I want to give it a try. I think, next Halloween, I am going to stay up and read Frankenstein and Dracula, and much more, but I am going to ease myself into horror, so I am too much of a wimp to read Stephen King :)
I went into Never Let Me Go knowing nothing about it and I actually think it DECREASED my enjoyment because I spent the whole time just like!! Explain what's going on stop being so obtuse!!! Also Dracula is such a fun classic, and remember if you read it soon you'll be ready for the BBC series :)
Ugh, I've so many on my shelves that have been there a while! I read Never Let Me Go in October and quite liked it....it was kind of a heavy read emotionally 😔. I also have a HUGE problem finishing series.....I really don't know why, but I do. I need to make a jar of my older books and pick one each month. Loved this video as usual ❤️
I sort out my goodreads shelves at least once a year so "luckily" I don't have any evidence of exactly how long some books have been on my shelves.. I mean, there's definitely some evidence of some awful tbr veterans but it's fineeeeee.... It's not like I have stuff from a decade ago.. right? RIGHT. I'm making it a point to make sure i'm reading books that were published pre 2015 as that's when I was at my worst with buying books with my staff discount at waterstones but knowing me I'll just end up reading recent charity shop purchases lol!
I saw Doctor Sleep in theaters and it was actually really good (I did not see the Shining or read it. I took someone who likes King as a Christmas gift) I never watch horror movies but ya it was cool.
Count Dracula is waiting for me too... I started the translated version, didn't like it, put it down and started the english one...I enjoyed it much better but after 60 pages I gave up... Maybe 2020 will be the year when I finally read it... 😊 (I didn't have the vocabulary for it... Most of my english knowledge came from american authors/movies/etc, and apparently I can only read "american english"... I'm working on it but it's not as easy as I thought it would be... 😅)
I read Oyster Boy years ago and can’t really remember it but it was very Tim Burton-y if that makes sense. You’d get through it in less than an hour and I don’t think it’s particularly Halloween-y so I wouldn’t save it if I were you. Also I’ve had Never Let Me Go on my shelf for years because of the same reason. I should really get to it because I thought the movie was great.
I bought Dr Sleep in a charity shop I think 4 years ago but I've been putting it off because I want to read The Shining first. So I bought The Shining last year and have so far failed to read it.
Codie's Book Corner me too!! Parks & Rec is a section of the book so you’ll especially love that. It’s just so interesting to see how she started and all that xxx
I liked Year of the Flood a lot more than Oryx and Crake, but I read them over 10 years apart and might not remember Oryx and Crake that well... As far as I recall Year of the Flood doesn't take up where Oryx and Crake ended but is sort of like a prequel from a different perspective. It goes deeper into the world building, and focuses on characters that I found more interesting than he ones in Oryx and Crake. Dracula is indeed quite dull in my opinion! It's an epistolary novel, so if you like that sort of thing you might enjoy it thogh!
Codie: ashamed that she has had books on her TBR for 2-3 years
Me: slowly slides into the cave I've made out of books I've owned for over 5 years and still haven't read
Hahahaha I only started my physical book collection 2 years ago, my kindle tbr however.....
Lol the shame is real.
Ooh a new TBR wheel category: “Stephen king”
I think I have books on my TBR since I was 12, so like, 15 years haha
Something I'm doing with my TBR vets next year is a "These Books Will Self-Destruct in 12 Months" ala Becca. Read them in 2020 or unhaul them, no exceptions. You also have a lot of Halloween-specific ones, so you could do a mini readathon for yourself doing spooky reads during spring. Oh! Spooky Spring is a great name.
Yessss I love how Becca does that too! Omg that’s such a good idea and spooky spring is a great name :D can u use that? I’ll credit you of course!
@@CodiesBookCorner You're welcome to it!
“So, now let’s talk about the pile of shame!”
Literal LOL while not making eye contact with my bookshelf, which has unread books that I moved with 6 years ago...🙈
I usually struggle with classics but I really enjoyed Dracula. I would encourage you to give it a go!
The coldest girl is I think my favorite vampire book. Holly Black is so amazing!!
Honestly, I don't usually enjoy TBR videos because I'm a big mood reader and don't have any monthly goals, so I can't relate to planned reading. I look forward to your TBR every month, though. I always get a kick out of that little wheel!
I’ve definitely got books on my TBR that are older than 4/5 years! Excited to see which of these you read first!
Never Let Me Go is one of my favourite books, it's so beautifully written!
Dracula is one of my favorite books I've ever read! I hope you enjoy it when you do read it. Great video, as always!
you could always make a prompt that says 'Codies videos' just if you want to not be so overwhelmed with how many books you have on there and glad to see you are doing well love you, sweetie
I have so many books on my TBR that have been on there for years. I made a stack and got my husband to pick 10 I have to read for my 2020 reading challenge!
The Year of the Flood is really good! I finished the series earlier this year and this it was my favourite. Hope you like it!
Omg I love the melancholy death of Oyster boy 😂😂
I loved Doctor Sleep! I was really scared to read it as The Shining is one of my favourite King books but I thought it was fantastic 😊
Please read Dracula, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
I will! I’ll do my best not to save it for Halloween either hahaha
@@CodiesBookCorner I think it's a perfect all-round winter book!
Codie's Book Corner Dracula is one of my favorite classics!
Oh my Goodness Codie!! Dreams of Gods and Monters!!!!!! I think that is my favourite trilogy of all time!! Laini Taylor is a legend!! Please read it immediately!!!
The Underground Railroad is so good. I also enjoyed Our Endless Numbered Days but it is quite odd.
Dreams of Gods & Monsters is AWESOME! I loved that trilogy so much. Can't wait to hear your thoughts.
Ok I HAVE to get to it soon! :D
Honestly loved Dreams of Gods and Monsters. The whole series was great. But once you have stopped a series for a while sometimes it's hard to be motivated to finish. Especially when they are long!!
I can see why people call Dracula "dull" but to me it was absolutely fascinating. If you like Gothic 1800's novels you'll love it.
I absolutely adored Never Let Me go, it's fantastic!!
Amazing! Thanks for letting me know, I’m excited to finally get to it :D
It’s good to see you smile again.
the audio of yes please is the best!
Dracula (as well as Frankenstein) is definitely one of the books I've wanted to read for ages and it hasn't happen yet :- ) Good luck with getting to all of these soon-ish! :- )
Year of the flood starts out in the same timeline as oryx and crake did but following someone else as well before the timeline catches up with book 1 (if I remember correctly). But I love the series and hope you enjoy it too.
I really loved the coldest girl in coldtown! Not something to take too seriously but definitely a fun time :)
When you do your next Wheel, see if you can fit as many of these books as possible into the prompts. Or just do a month where you read all of these books - done and dusted!
Never Let Me Go is so good!
I saw the movie first also but knowing the twist doesn't take away from the story at all, in fact if I remember correctly you learn the twist pretty early in the book. It's more of an ethically driven coming of age story? I always find it hard to describe but there's a lot different from the movie so it felt fresh to me.
Love the year of the flood even more than oryx and crake. Loved the new protagonists! I really need to read the last book in the series.
I haven't read any of the books you mentioned but I really want to read Dracula. Hope you do get to those soon and that you enjoy them!
i'm championing that you get to coldest girl in cold town next year! and yes, it is about vampires.
Me: Side eyes 2012 releases on my shelf lol

Read Dracula! I am a big fun, but more importantly, I taught it a few times, and my college students always loved it, which says a lot, as this was a required class, and most of them weren’t exactly readers 😆
I really enjoyed Dracula. I recommend the audiobook with Simon Vance, Alan Cumming and Tim Curry. Definitely pick it up when the prompt comes up.
Stopping to comment about the Tim Burton book. The heart with all the pins in it-my wife has that tattooed on her chest. She loves that book and all the illustrations. We have little figures of each character too.
I WOULD LOVE TO BUDDY READ Dreams of Gods and Monsters with you as I’ve been putting it off because I adore the series and I don’t want it to end 😭

I think I will cry if I do this 😂 Great video love! So happy for the sponsorship! You deserve it! 😘🖤
It was definitely daunting! 🙈 thanks so much Pris! You’re the absolute best ❤️❤️
I’d say Never Let Me Go is still worth reading!

I still need to get to Dreams of Gods and Monsters too!!! Hoping to read it this month!
That’s funny I have never let me go on my shelve been sitting for a long time haha but I know people love that book !
I really liked the 3rd book in the DoSaB trilogy. My favorite is still the first one, but man, so good.
I finally got around to it this year, but I did a reread since it had been since 2012 or 2013 since I had read the first and second.
also highly highly recommend Yes Please on audio - it's fantastic
I'm hard to please with vampire stories but Coldest Girl In Cold Town was one of the ones i loved. And i would say its not really a Halloween read, it would fit any time of the year.
Yes Please is hilarious and Never Let Me Go is also great xx
Dreams of Gods and Monsters is as good as the second book
Kazuo Ishiguro is my one of my Fav Author. His storys are dark and mostly a critique of society or very scary Dystopia. I absolutely recommend it😉
Wow just went to goodreads and I had a book on my TBR that was from 2012 😱
I love your new hair colour!! It looks so good I can't believe you did it yourself!
Thanks so much my love!
If you are a huge Parks & Rec fan, then you must read Yes Please. It's really good.
Also, Dracula is a perfect winter read. It's a great book and the setting fits perfectly with winter, IMO. Also, I would really like ot hear what you think about it. Please pick it up soon! :-)
Coldest Girl in Coldtown was my book of the year for 2017. Definitely recommend. =)
Ooooh thank you! Definitely more inclined to try it now :D
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown has been on my tbr for such a long time!
6:55 Dracula would have been on my list if I included classics for the EXACT same reason ahahah
Ahhh Never Let Me Go is one of my favourite books ever. Easily in my top 10 books of all time. I love it so much. Compared to the book, the movie sucks haha. The book is amazing. Not going to lie, it’s so much better if you don’t know the twist because it’s revealed slowly and the unease as you read just grows and grows. I wish I could wipe your mind hah!
Colson Whitehead is amazing I love the Underground Railroad also his new book the Nickel Boys
If you love The Shining, you’ll love Doctor Sleep I think. The movie actually manages to be a sequel to both book & movie... but you should definitely read the book first!
Aaah girl Dracula is so good!! It's a slow build but worth it! Never let me go also still worth reading, I'm slowly working my way through Stephen King... So many good books :)
Awesome thanks for letting me know :) I’ll definitely prioritise those! Dude same, there’s just SO much king to read!
Two years doesn't sound long at all, which I guess says a lot about the state of my shelves. ;) I read Dracula this year for Halloween and really liked it!

im a bit of a series goblin myself so i still havent read the first book in the maddaddam trilogy, but i *loved* both the second & the third lmao
I am reading Doctor Sleep now and I am actually enjoying it more than I did The Shining. I actually didn't care much for The Shining book or movie but I thought the book was ok enough for me to want to finish it.

I also found "Yes, Please!" used. I actually got it for free at my local used goods shop for Free Friday. annnnddd.... also haven't read it yet.
Dracula is my favorite book ever. I really hope you read it in 2020
I went into Never Let Me Go knowing nothing about it and I actually think it DECREASED my enjoyment because I spent the whole time just like!! Explain what's going on stop being so obtuse!!!
Also Dracula is such a fun classic, and remember if you read it soon you'll be ready for the BBC series :)
That’s the exact reason why I have not read Never Let Me Go yet either... 🤦♀️
Tim Burton book sounds so cool
Ugh, I've so many on my shelves that have been there a while! I read Never Let Me Go in October and quite liked it....it was kind of a heavy read emotionally 😔. I also have a HUGE problem finishing series.....I really don't know why, but I do. I need to make a jar of my older books and pick one each month. Loved this video as usual ❤️
Oooh thanks for the heads up on Never Let me go Court! I’ll go in prepared 😂 dude same! That’s such a good idea, thanks so much my love ❤️❤️
I sort out my goodreads shelves at least once a year so "luckily" I don't have any evidence of exactly how long some books have been on my shelves.. I mean, there's definitely some evidence of some awful tbr veterans but it's fineeeeee.... It's not like I have stuff from a decade ago.. right? RIGHT.
I'm making it a point to make sure i'm reading books that were published pre 2015 as that's when I was at my worst with buying books with my staff discount at waterstones but knowing me I'll just end up reading recent charity shop purchases lol!
I don't think that Dracula's set in Witby but I know that Witby abbey was the inspiration for Dracula's castle.
I saw Doctor Sleep in theaters and it was actually really good (I did not see the Shining or read it. I took someone who likes King as a Christmas gift) I never watch horror movies but ya it was cool.
Doctor Sleep is amazing! For me it’s even better than The Shining
Oooh really? Interesting... definitely will be getting to that one next year :)
Of the books you mentioned my favourite was Never Let Me Go!
Count Dracula is waiting for me too... I started the translated version, didn't like it, put it down and started the english one...I enjoyed it much better but after 60 pages I gave up... Maybe 2020 will be the year when I finally read it... 😊

CODIIIIIIIIIIIIE READ THE TIM BURTON BOOK! I've been meaning to reread it, so let me know if you'd like to buddy read
The movie and the book for Doctor Sleep are really really different. I've read Doctor Sleep and not The Shining, should do that.
I bought Dr Sleep in a charity shop I think 4 years ago but I've been putting it off because I want to read The Shining first. So I bought The Shining last year and have so far failed to read it.
YES PLEASE! Read it ASAP!! It’s brilliant for Amy lovers 🥰
Awesome! I definitely need to get to it, I love her so much 😊
Codie's Book Corner me too!! Parks & Rec is a section of the book so you’ll especially love that. It’s just so interesting to see how she started and all that xxx
I was super disappointed with Dracula I think I was expected... more? 🤷🏼♀️ but everyone else seems to love it I hope you do too!
I liked Year of the Flood a lot more than Oryx and Crake, but I read them over 10 years apart and might not remember Oryx and Crake that well... As far as I recall Year of the Flood doesn't take up where Oryx and Crake ended but is sort of like a prequel from a different perspective.

Good to know! Thank you, definitely more inclined to continue with the series :)
0:20 OH HEY IT ME
Yeah it is ;)
I found Oryx and Crake more compelling than Year of the Flood. Maybe MaddAddam is better, I don’t know.
Hi, not sure if you can use the Libby Library app but that’s where I listened to Yes, Please on audio for free!
I'll be attempting Dracula next year for my classics challenge!
I haven't read any of the books so can't tell you what to read, but Never let me go sounds interesting, might check it out myself.
I have a few unread books knocking around from 8+ years ago :o
Hahaha I only started enquiring physical books a couple of years ago but my kindle tbr is truly something :D
@@CodiesBookCorner Uh oh, I dread to think!
I LOVEEEEE Never Let Me Go! Really recommend it!
