Birthday BOOK HAUL! Over 30 books ♡

hey friends and welcome back to my channel if you haven't been here before my name is Kailyn and welcome so today I have a really big haul like a really big haul so for the record before I get started I know in the last haul that I did which I think was like a month ago I said that I wasn't going to get any more books and that was true then but then we decided that we're going to move into a new house we bought a new house and so I started slowly buying more books because of that so I have a little bit of a big haul and also it is my birthday so yeah some of these books are birthday books some of these books are just because we're moving and I only have this one bookshelf so once we move I'll be able to have a new one and I'm really excited about that and so these will help kind of fill that one out so let's get started because I do have a lot I'm gonna be going over them briefly just because I don't want this video to be super duper long so yes let's get started the first one that I have is modern fairy tales by Holly black this is her bind up of her three books tithe valiant and Ironside so I'm really excited about this I love absolutely love Holly black and her writing she's one of my favorite writers of all time and so I'm excited to jump back in her to her fairy world I think I'm going to love it I definitely wanted to get this I know I probably won't like it as much as the cruel Prince series but I'm definitely gonna love it so next one that I have is the friendzone by Abby Jimenez and I heard about this one actually on books to Graham it's kind of cool I really like being a part of books jam and booktube because I feel like books to Graham has a big difference in the books that people read I see a lot more adult books and a lot more contemporary books so this was one that I saw there and this is about a girl named Kristen who is keeping a big secret and she is facing medically necessary procedure that will make her unable to have children so I find that premise really interesting I always have this really big empathy towards women who aren't able to have children so I'm definitely going to enjoy this I've heard it's really sad and it's also a love story so I'm looking forward to it the next book that I have is one that I actually have two of so this is sorcery of thorns I talked about this in one of my other videos but I am so excited for this book this is the owlcrate Edition which has the purple and the gold and then this is the normal Edition which is green and silver so I just think they're beautiful and honestly I'm not mad about having both because they're just gorgeous so if you don't know what this is about it's about a character named Elizabeth and she is the caretaker of a hogwarts esque library where the books whisper things um so she's able to calm these books down I also heard that there's a really good romance in this and so I'm really excited about this the next book that I have is a book by Frederick Bachmann named a man called Oh and I have been looking forward to reading this book for a really long time I really love books about elderly people I don't know what it is I think it's because I'm really close with my grandparents so reading about older people just gets me very sentimental about them but this is about a man named ov and he's really grumpy and he's a curmudgeon and then this young couple moves in next door and they start to have a friendship and so yeah it just sounds so adorable and again I just love stories about that sort of thing so I'm looking forward to reading this one as well so the next book that I have is Tokyo ghoul by Sheree Uchida I'm really bad with names sometimes but this is a huge tradition of Tokyo at school I've never read this series before but this one has one two and three in it this cover is super creepy as well I actually kind of love it and I like how big that these pages are most of the time manga series don't have these big of pages but I really like that they're also really thick and wonderful so I don't exactly know what this is about all I know is that it's about a man who is half man and half ghoul who lives in Tokyo who does that um and I think that there's an anime series out that is based off of this so I'm excited to read this and hopefully watch the series if there is one I'm pretty sure there is so the next two books I got I actually received from the publishing company and these are the first books that I've ever gotten from a publisher I've also been very picky about the books that I accept from other people just because I want to make sure that I will read them I have a huge TBR huge and I'm not a super fast reader so it's kind of hard for me to accept certain books because I just want to make sure that I will actually read them so with these ones I knew that I would mostly because they're middle grade so this series is called the crowns of cross walled by de night I was actually sent both of them which is really awesome I'm not sure how many are in this series but they're really pretty books they have like a matte finish and yeah I really like them they're really nice quality as well the pages are really nice um and this is about a girl named ivy who goes to a magic school where she learns how powerful that she is I love magic school settings and there's also this Dark Queen who's trying to take her life and take her magic so yeah it sounds really interesting and I think I'll like it also it was so sweet the author sign and personalized both of them so this one says magic awaits and this one says enjoy the adventure and so that was really cool and really sweet so yeah thanks for sending you these the next one that I have is good omens by Terry Pratchett and Gaiman this is a really cool addition I've seen other editions of this book that I don't really love but this one is just really cool and I really like the colors in it um so we recently just finished the TV show based off of this book and loved it honestly it quickly became one of my favorite TV shows of all time and so I knew I had to buy this book and I definitely want to read it as well I've heard that the TV show is actually better than the book which is interesting but um I definitely want to still read it because I love the whole plot of this book I think it's so funny and interesting it's about the Armageddon and there is an angel and a demon who are supposed to kind of bring about the Armageddon but they actually don't really want to they have fallen in love with this world in humans so they kind of are trying to find the Antichrist who is missing and stop Armageddon from happening show was absolutely hilarious and I'm really excited to read this because I think it'll be really funny as well next book that I have is Blackbird by CM Humphries and Jen Bartels so this is a graphic novel this cover though this was why I bought it to be honest I think it is just gorgeous the illustrations kind of reminds me of Avatar a little bit and I really like them I'm not sure what this is about at all I just know that this cover was beautiful and yeah I definitely want to read it and I'm always looking for new graphic novels to read so the next book I have is Eve of man by Giovanna and Tom Fletcher so this is about a girl who is the first girl born in 50 years and she has to choose between love and the future of the human race so I really like that premise um and I think it'll be an interesting book to read this cover is really really pretty I love the gold and the naked book cover is really pretty as well so shiny so yeah this is like a brand new release and I saw it in stores and I was like yes give me that plus I really liked the summary as well so hopefully it'll be a good book the next book that I have is the girl who drink the moon by Kelly Barnhill and this is about a town where the people sacrificed their children to this witch who lives in the forest and she actually ends up being a good witch and takes care of these children she has all she also has a dragon which is really cool it is a middle grade book which I love so yeah the next book that I have is crown of feathers by Nikki pop reto and I have heard really good things about this book I don't know a lot about it the only thing I do know is that it's about a phoenix writer I mean that's all I need to know to be honest especially when people have loved it so much next book I have is rules for visiting by jessica Francis Cain and this was definitely a cover by for me I love this style of cover I don't know what it is because it's kind of simple but has little plants so maybe that's why and I really liked the writing as well but this is about a 40 year old woman named Mei and over the years she's turned inwards and hasn't really spent a lot of time with her friends and family so this is about her adventure to reconnect with some old friends and she compares her journey to the Odyssey which i think is really cute and yeah it's pretty much her exploration of friendship in a digital age which sounds really interesting to me and yeah I think I think that I'll really like it it's also a really small book so yeah it'll be an easy read as well the next book I have is fury born by Claire LeGrande and I honestly have no idea what this is about I know it's about two queens and they have different timelines and the story is told from both of these perspectives I think but this cover is gorgeous honestly this is like one of my favorite covers ever and I've heard really good things about it so yeah I got it because it's really beautiful also it has deckled edges which I actually like I know people don't like it I think it's because it's harder to read but I don't know anyway yep I had this book as well next book I have is unharmonious by Christina Lauren and I don't know a lot about what this book is about either I've heard that it's really good really really good and I also had a friend tell me that it's good to go into this book without knowing a lot about it so that's what I'm doing and I love this cover I think it's so pretty I know it's a love story but that's pretty much all I know about it yes I'm excited to read this one though the next book I have is the kingdom by just Rothenberg and honestly I got this book because Brits the bibliophile to the video on it when she mentioned that it was like Westworld but in like a Disney sort of setting I was like yes that's amazing because I love Westworld and I love Disney World so um I think I'm really gonna like it I know that this is told in like a trial sort of way but it's about a murder and everyone thinks that this robot girl did it book I have is where the crowd odd scene by Julia Owens this was another book stand by for me but honestly it sounds really really good and I've heard really good things so it's about this girl who lit is called the marsh girl she lives in North Carolina and she's very solitary it's kind of like a murder mystery because everyone thinks that she's the one that did it but she's actually really kind and gentle I'm interested to see where the story goes and I think the setting will be really cool it's also historical fiction which I like so yeah the next book I have is Shannon McGuire's middlegame and after reading her other series the way we're children series I definitely knew that I wanted to read this because I am a big fan of her writing so this is about two twins named Roger and Dodger and it takes place in like an alchemy sort of Kingdom which is really interesting I don't know much else about it I know that the two brothers are kind of powerful with their magic so yeah I have heard really good things about this as well and anything that Shawn Maguire writes I'll probably try to read so yeah the next book I have is station eleven by Emily st. John Mandel and this is a post-apocalyptic so sort of book there's this flu pandemic that breaks out and this book takes place in two timelines one of them taking place after the pandemic and one of them before and so it's kind of about what you would miss the most if you lost everything so I think it's gonna be a really good book it also follows a girl who goes into the settlement full of musicians and actors so I think that sounds really cool um and I've heard really good things about this one so yeah I'm looking forward to reading it next one I had is the beholder by Anna bright and I have it because of the fairy it's a fairy root addition which is absolutely gorgeous by the way Pink's bright edges and this really pretty rose gold it's about a girl named Selah who refuses an engagement so her stepmother Center on the ship where she is to find a new suitor so yeah I think that sounds really good and it's romance so you know I like that okay the next book I have is the candle in the flame by nafisa azad and this is a beautiful cover this was another book that when I saw the cover online I was immediately drawn to it takes place along the Silk Road which I'm so excited about I just love reading about that history and I'm excited there's a fantasy story based in it so I don't exactly know 100% what it's about but I know it's about a girl who somehow gets magic and she's on the Silk Road that's pretty much all I know but Silk Road magic count me in so yeah I'm really excited to read this one as well next book I have is we are okay by Nina Lacour this was a book that I saw at the bookstore and I kind of just was drawn to it so I researched it a little bit while I was there and decided that I would get it it sounds like a really heartbreaking but good story about a girl named Marin and she has been hiding these secrets for a long time which has kind of caused her to be really lonely so when a friend visits she starts to kind of like uncovered these secrets that Marian had been hiding for so long and it sounds really good I think it's a little bit of a mystery but also just her trying to like cope with her loneliness and get out of that so I'm looking forward to it and this is such a pretty cover also the inside is really pretty so yeah it's also a short one which I love next book I have is on the come-up by Angie Thomas so I actually have not read any of Angie Thomas's books and I really have wanted to for so long but since I'm not much of a contemporary reader it's been a long time coming so I decided that I would finally pick this one up I don't know why I decided to pick this one up and sort of some of her other books but I just did I think mostly it was because I know that this movie is going to be coming out soon and I really like reading books and then watching their movies I think what it's about is like an up-and-coming rapper trying to make it I also heard that there's actual rapping in here and the audiobook the narrator also raps which is really cool I definitely want to listen to the audiobook and read along with it next book I have is in His image by gen Wilkin I've been wanting to get more like self care sorts of books lately and so when I saw this one I was just kind of drawn to it one of my friends on Instagram I think read it and it's about ten ways God calls us to reflect his character so I love reading books like that sometimes especially when I'm in a little bit of a funk so I think this will be a great one to pick up it's really short and it's like separated into sections so I think it'll be really easy to read so yeah also this cover is perfect orange and yellow and green and white those are like my favorite color combinations so yeah next book I have is wild and crooked by Leigh Thomas and this is about a character named Kahlan and it's actually spelled the exact same way so her dad actually murdered someone back when he was a teenager and she has to go back to this town where he murdered someone at still a very big deal too all of the citizens that live there so if anyone found out who she was she would be instantly hated and then there's also a net another character named Gus and he has cerebral palsy and his dad is the one who got murdered so I think they kind of form a friendship but maybe don't know that about each other I don't know exactly but I'm interested in this book and I think it'll be a really cool book to read also this cover is really really pretty the next book I have is the lion Tender by Kate Allen so this was definitely covered by for me but then trying to research these books before I buy them which is really good um so this is about a girl whose mother is a marine biologist and she actually has an accident while she's out at

the inside so I'm looking forward to reading this it's a middle grade book this book I have is fruits basket by Natsuki Takaya sorry again um but this I don't know what it's about actually I have no idea but I had a friend recommend this to me as another manga to read so I picked it up I know there's like a bunch of them in the series as well I think there's like 11 and this is kind of a big manga so I'm looking forward to reading it I'm a little unsure about the illustration style it looks I don't know it's just different um so I'm gonna read it see if I like it and hopefully I will the next book I have is the devouring grey by Christine Linderman so I've heard this is a lot like stranger things which I love so much am new season is coming out in July I didn't even know this until
