dave brown by charlie hibbett and i've already talked about this book because i've already read it and i loved it definitely my least favorite in the brown sister's trilogy though but still so good so much fun just love charlie hibbett's books so this is basically yes the third book in the brown sisters companion series so this follows e brown and it's an adult romance it's super cute i just wasn't a huge fan of the male love interest so i wasn't like as obsessed as i was with the other two books but you know there were definitely some stunning scenes and i have some of my themes so i can go back to them because they're stunning okay then i have one of the good ones and this is one of my most anticipated releases i haven't read it yet need to fix that but how something is this cover so

i'll be worth it okay then i got the right swipe which i've already talked about in my romance readathon vlog i loved this book this is an adult romance and it was stunning smarty thank you and i love the cover and if you don't know it's basically about two people who meet on a dating app and then like they sleep together then they ghost each other and then they find out why they go see each other and it's just stunning and they obviously reconnect okay then i have two horror fantasy books which is really exciting because i haven't really heard of too many horror fantasy books and i saw someone talking about i think it was riley marie and i was like oh so i got two books that are horror fantasy so i have the twisted ones and i don't know what it's about but i don't really want to know i just want to read it and save myself but yes the twisted ones and the hollow places oh and these are by the same author so yeah very excited about these i really hope they're amazing because horror fantasy just sounds like everything like obviously i love those two genres so hopefully it's just gonna be an amazing time then i got this graphic novel which is the sad ghost club which i've already read it's basically just a really wholesome cute graphic novel about two ghosts who are really lonely and become friends and it was super super cute okay i'm really excited about these next two books so i got from lukov with love by mariana zapata this is an adult sports romance it's basically about these two figure skaters who like hate each other and they're forced to work together and of course you know make one love and it's just the best i've already read it i listened to the audiobook a few years ago but i loved it and i wanted the physical copy and then caitlyn read it recently in one of our readathons and she was absolutely loving it and i was like you know what i think i just need to buy it because i want to read it physically and annotate it and relive the amazingness so yep i bought the paperback and i'm so happy it's actually like a really well made paperback it's like one of those like paperbacks that are like really nice to touch and you can tell that it's like good quality so yeah super happy to have this and then i got pun57 by penelope douglas which once again i read in one of our romance readathons and i read the kindle edition and i loved it wasn't expecting to love it so i needed the physical copy because i need to reread it and annotate it and mark my favorite moments because i love it it's definitely not gonna be for everyone because it's like a dark romance definitely like a friends to hate to love as romance um but i loved it so yeah i'm very excited to re-read it honestly like i'm trying so hard not to reread it right now but also why am i depriving myself of happiness i should just reread it no so i probably will soon maybe even the second i don't know okay once again speaking of the romance readathon i read waiting for spring volume 11 so i had to get volumes 12 and 13 and this is the last volume in the series i'm very excited to see how the series ends because it feels like i've been reading the series for years and i'm really happy with how volume 11 ended so i think i'm gonna be happy with these two volumes so i'm very excited this is just a really cute romance manga and it involves basketball there's like this annoying love triangle where there's one character who literally sucks but i really like the other guy and i really love the main character so it's just a fun time and like i said i'm excited to see how it ends then i got the house in the cerulean c and this is actually my patreon book club pick for this month so we're gonna be buddy reading it on my patreon so i'm going to film like a spoiler-filled vlog and everything and discuss it with everyone there but very excited about this because this is a fantasy romance and i've literally seen like everyone who talks about this book absolutely love it and it's supposed to elicit happy tears which i'm so ready for because i love when books can make me happy cry like happy crying is just so cathartic and amazing and the best feeling very hopeful that this will make me happy cry and very hopeful that i'm going to love it because who doesn't love a nice fun fantasy romance and apparently it's a modern fairy tale about learning your true nature and what you love and will protect sweet comforting and kind exactly like it sounds like a really wholesome good time and i think it's technically middle grade but obviously like anyone can enjoy this story and i think it's also queer like i think there's a gay romance so anyway just very excited about this and speaking of my patreon book club in june we're buddy reading a diary of blood by st gibson i am so excited about this because i found out about it recently from riley marie because she read it and said it was like my favorite book of the year so far and basically it follows a bisexual main character who i believe is a vampire or she's married to a vampire anyway i know it's a vampire story and i know that there's a bisexual main character and it is a lyrical and dreamy reimagining of dracula's brides it's a story of desire obsession and emancipation and i've heard that the writing is amazing and lyrical and it's really not that long and i love a stunning short book it's 233 pages so i have high hopes for this it just sounds like everything i'm going to love so thank you speaking of vapes i also got the graphic novel fangs which i've already talked about because i read it and loved it and it's now honestly like my new favorite graphic novel it was just so funny and it's basically a love story between a vampire and a werewolf and if you love vampires and bubbles and like all that you will just love this because it's just so funny and there were so many moments where i was literally like smiling laughing i just love it okay then i got this stunning book this is the drifting classroom by kazuo umez and this is a horror manga it's apparently a classic it says out of nowhere an entire school vanishes leaving nothing but a hole in the ground while parents mourn and authorities investigate the students and teachers find themselves not dead but stranded in a terrifying wasteland where they must fight survive i heard about this ages ago and it's been on my list for a while to buy so i finally decided to get it i'm always looking for more horror manga to read so i really hope i love it even if i don't like it i really love the illustration style so i am excited and i just love like the way that this book is made it looks so cool okay then i have some books i bought in new zealand so i have kim jeong born 1982 which is supposed to just be a discussion on feminism in korea and it's supposed to be amazing i'm definitely going to read this for koreathon which is the readathon that monica and i will be hosting in august so keep your eyes peeled for that but yes very excited about this and then i got some other books by korean authors so i got some hong kong books which i've never read any books by hong kong so very excited and i got these matching editions so i got human acts the vegetarian and the white book and once again i'm going to save these for creatathon i think and then i got the island of sea women by lisa c and this follows two women and is set on jeju island and it's set during the japanese colonialism of the 1930s and 40s the second world war and the korean war so it sounds like it's going to be incredible once again i might save it for creatathon i'll read it earlier but we'll see okay so the final category is books from subscription boxes but i'm not going to show like everyone because honestly there's just too many so i think i'm just going to show the ones that i'm most excited about so i have the owlcrate and fairly editions of how the king of elf haim learned to hate stories by holly black and the fairly edition is stunning purple with gold edges and this is the owlcrate edition so freaking beautiful this is what the friendly one looks like and this is what the earthquake one looks like and the out great one also has this stunning illustration of harden i honestly don't know which one i love more they're just both absolutely stunning then i have some more holly black books so i have the cruel prince and the wicked king and these are the fairly exclusive editions so they have really cool end papers and obviously they have the stunning designs on the naked book so the cool prince has this acorn and the wicked king has this sword so excited to add this to my holly black collection honestly my holly black shelf is looking amazing especially with these books that are going to be added to it oh and then i have this stunning edition of chain of iron and this is the fairly edition oh this is just beautiful this is like definitely one of my favorite books i own in terms of the aesthetic i love black and silver and these end papers oh and then on the back it says secrets consume even the truest love it's just beautiful i absolutely adore it then i got the friendly edition of these violent delights this has stunning pink edges it has a stunning illustration on the reverse of a dust jacket and i already read this book unfortunately i didn't like love love it it was definitely good and i liked it but i thought i was gonna be obsessed with it so i was disappointed by it but it's okay it's still beautiful um and if you don't know it's a romeo and juliet retelling but honestly not really because the romance is not really at the forefront of the story it's more about like the family conflict and like the plot with the monsters and stuff but it's said in 1920s shanghai didn't absolutely love it but it was still a good time and this is the fairly edition of kingdom of the wicked and this is so pretty i love the black spray edges and then obviously this stunning design and then we have this hottie right here and we have this stunning design on the reverse of the dust jacket so i love oh of course how could i forget about that design oh it's literally stunning so if you've read this please let me know if you think i'm gonna like it because i've had mixed things sent to me so some people say like you'll hate it some people say i'm gonna love it so honestly i'm gonna give it a try because i want to like it it sounds really fun i'm pretty sure it's like a romance between like the devil and someone i'm pretty sure yeah it says two sisters one murder a quest for vengeance that will unleash hell itself so i think it should be a fun time and yeah so yeah those are the books that i'm going to talk about in this book haul obviously
