All My Unread Books || PHYSICAL TBR 2020 

No such thing as too many books!

Just have to point out, you’re the person I always watch first on yt and I aways look forward for your videos, you don’t read only the popular books, you value books that are ‘old’ and don’t just follow trends, you speak honestly and I respect that more than anything. Really wish there were more similar to you. I didn’t notice you ever mention some kind of sponsor, maybe you just don’t want to have them but if anything, your audience, which is pretty mature I’m guessing, would be really happy if you also made some money from these videos, you put in a lot of work and you deserve it. Also, more books hehe, lots of love from Serbia

Of the books you mentioned, I would most strongly recommend The Lies of Locke Lamora. Of those you didn't mention, but had turned out in the TBR orientation, Senlin Ascends. Have fun climbing Mt TBR!

Books I’d recommend pushing up the TBR are: The Graceling, An Ember in the Ashes, The City of Brass and If we were villains

The Lies of Locke Lamora and Kings of the Wyld are so good! Can’t wait for you to get to them! 💕

I would highly recommend Graceling by Kristin Cashore! That entire series is really amazing.😁

The Nightingale was a bit out of my comfort zone but after reading it I literally think about it all the time. I am in love with this story! You get to know the characters so well while still trying to keep up with the fast plot. A little romance/love interest that adds an extra element (don't worry it isnt a full on romance). Yes...i love that book

The Rithmatist is heaps better than The Reckoners. Alcatraz has a sort-of-unlikeable protagonist, but it's actually great. And Reckoners book two was wonderful :D edit: and if I may fangirl about some of the bottom fantasy shelf authors - Pratchett, Nix, Stroud, Pierce, and Kay are some of the best in the genre. Nix, Stroud, Pierce and middle-grade / YA, but are downright amazing. Kay's Tigana brought me to tears every time I read it. I don't remember if you liked Gaiman or not, but read American Gods before Anansi Boys if you haven't yet. And Anne Rice is practically a classic author by now, and writes amazing vampire novels. This is The Witching Hour tho, and I haven't read that yet XD I hope you like at least some of these, because they are my faves

To Be Taught if Fortunate, John Dies at The End, and The Book Thief should be prioritized! Oh, and I know you've heard this a million thousand and fifty times, but the best thing to read to get you through these weird times is the Stormlight Archive. I'm recommending it to all my friends now who are stuck home, haha

I appreciate this kinda video, it is different from the usual "tbr" s, which most of the times I do not watch tbh. Out of all the books you showed you NEED to read 1Q84 by the great Murakami, one of my personal fav books of all the time!! Hope everyone is staying home, be safe guys xoxo

I recommend The Last Wish (the first book of the Witcher series). It's a collection of short stories and is fun/easy to read! The Black Company was horribly paced. All of the action happens off screen (or is it off page?) and it's basically just the characters reacting to stuff that happened. This is the gist of it: "Woah that battle was crazy!" 1 paragraph later "Woah that second battle was wild!" 2 paragraphs later "Wow that third battle was insane!" And you never see the battles :'( The Age of Myth (on your second shelf), I couldn't get past the first 100 pages. Not bad, but nothing really good, just found myself bored. You have to read The Eye of the World! It's such a classic and a great introduction to The Wheel of Time. This book itself is reminiscent of the Lord of the Rings, but it has to be put into context that at the time it was published those were the only types of books that would be published in the fantasy series. The magic system is unique, and the characters are interesting. The Shadow of the Wind is so wonderful. The prose is beautiful and you find yourself immersed in Spain during the post-war era The Great Gatsby is always a classic book that is easy to digest and sumptuous to read The Left Hand of Darkness is great! You have to read The Shining, especially given the quarantine! It's my second favorite King book, after It. Pet Sematary is also great, probably the most bleak of his books Gone Girl is a modern classic, and even if you've seen the film you can't put it down! The Haunting of Hill House is good. Interesting, but a little tiresome. If you want to get a short book read for your Goodreads challenge, that's a good one. Sorry this was a lot, but you have a lot of books that are so good!

I read the Lies of Locke Lamora as an audiobook. It was really great, so much fun!

Loved The Lies of Locke Lamorra!!!! Binged that trilogy which I rarely do....soooooo good!!!

I really recommend An Unkindness of Magicians! I think you might like it:)

I highly recommend Tigana. Amazing high fantasy book that I never hear anyone talk about

Knife of Never Letting Go and Oryx and Crake are both fantastic. Highly recommend.

Alana by Tamora Pierce is a childhood fav and every series in that universe just gets better and better!! plus they are super short so you can breeze through them. I just finished In Order To Live and it was amazing, The Gene is also very good but very heavy

Thanks for the tour! I'm also looking forward to reading many of those books. Ones that I'd recommend are Sabriel and Outliers! I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I did.

I love that sweater! So cute! This was a cool way to tour us through your bookshelves. I agree that it's nice to have a combo of TBR and books that you have read but would read again on your shelves, especially now when getting new books is more difficult than usual. I think I'd like to have about 25% TBR on my shelves, and I'm working toward that.

My pile of shame keeps growing but I am so busy with studying that there is nothing I can do about it ;_;

Code Name Verity is fantastic, I read it a good five years ago and still think about it constantly.

I've been looking forward for you to read The Stormlight Archive (Way of Kings) forever, I think you'll really like it! And I loved the Rithmatist so I would recomment that too. Unkindness of Magicians is really good and I think more adult than ya. Also I've been reading the wheel of time for years and really enjoying it, but it takes time as it's too damn long and also so good but it is definitely not for everyone so I'm not sure if you would like it or not. Name of the Wind is also amazing btw, I thought you had already read it though ^^

I recently (in the past two months) read Peter Pan and also War of the Worlds and saw you have both of those on your shelves so I'd recommend those! They're good, short, quick reads, and true classics! I loved them.

I recommend The painted man! The whole Demon Cycle is amazing!

Read Eleanor Oliphant- but as an audiobook from your library. The accent makes it so much better!

The Goblin Emperor (on shelf 2) was wonderful!!

The Nightingale was a really good book. Also you mentioned the Book Thief. Yes!

so it's been a while since I've read the completed Sabriel series, but that ending in the trilogy (now with a fourth actually) broke my heart, it is solo worth the 3 book read, and Sabriel itself is really worth it. I read it when I was young and I still find the magic system quite unique.

Perdido Street Station is a must read! It’s an unbelievably weird and wonderful book with some of the scariest “villains” I’ve ever encountered in literature.

Hi, Emily. I really liked The Lies of Locke Lamora, but it can be slow moving. Not a bad thing, but that’s the kind of thing I like knowing up front. I love, love the Joe Abercrombie trilogy, The First Law. I think it is a series that many readers of young adult fantasy don’t enjoy. It is gritty and brutal with morally gray characters, but I also found it darkly humorous. The books are really well paced in my opinion. The Sparrow is also one of my all time favorites, just to give you an idea of a book we both love. The Old Man’s War series by John Scalzi is a fast paced, fun read. I think you would like it. Ursula K. Le Guin is my favorite author. She was a beautiful writer and her stories are so profoundly human, so humane. The beginning of The Left Hand of Darkness puts some people off, but if you pick up this book, persevere and you will be richly rewarded. Some classics don’t stand the test of time, this book does. I have read most of her scientific fiction, and although I haven’t loved everything by her, it has definitely cemented her as a legend in the field, surpassing most, if not all, her male counterparts, in my opinion. I’ll stop raving now.

I loved gentleman bastards & the name of the wind 🌿

Kings of the Wyld and Senlin Ascends need to jump to the front of the reading queue!

A lot of those books on that first shelf you showed are ones I have that I have been wanting to read! More Joe Abercrombie, Mark Lawrence and Robin Hobb! I also need to read the Lies ofLocklamora, I read the Eye of the World recently and now I need to continue on with the rest of the Eye of the WOrld

The Golem and the Jinni is such a good book, highly reccommend!

Highly recommend reading The Queen of Attolia soon! That series is fantastic!

I spotted you have Sabriel! I really truly would recommend that series. It has excellent characters, it's so compelling, there's a truly incredible library in the second book, and the original three are one of favourite series ever. The first chapter isn't especially gripping, but it's interesting from a world building perspective, and it grows so much from there. I hope you get to it at some point!

Your love for the library and audiobooks motivated me to get a library card, and I love it! English is not my first language, so audiobooks were kinda hard for me because I had to be highly concentrated to understand the story, but the more I've been listening to, the easier it has become. I've been tackling my physical tbr with audiobooks from the library, thanks for your enthusiasm 💖

Loved The Book Thief!!

On your shelf of literary fiction stuff (where The Book Thief was), you have A World Without You, which I just made a comment about on one of your newer videos. It's got a nice bit of sci-fi in there, which you might enjoy. Also on that shelf is I am the Messenger, which is my all-time favorite book. I hope you enjoy it when you get to it!

Love your videos! Been following you for a couple of years now! Just set up my book shelves in my new house and I did a similar thing where I set them up by genre! (Mostly because I love the idea that you can find what you want to read quickly!) also wanted to say that your love of sci-fi gives me life! Booktube needs more sci-fi lovers!

The Great Gatsby is my favorite book of ALL TIME! You have to read it!

from your mess ya shelf, Sabriel and The Girl From Everywhere were both in my Best of lists for the yeas i read them and I still really love them, definitely worth giving a go at least in a try a chapter tag! Sabriel has a really interesting necromantic world setting and great characters. The Girl From Everywhere has a really fun time traveling gimmic and gorgeous historical settings.

Definitely recommend reading Kings of the wyld, it's soooo good

Congratulations to 80 000 subscribers!!

Graceling is one of my favorite YA Fantasy books! It takes a common trope and turns it on its head. And I keep meaning to pick up Lies of Locke Lamora. I've heard it recommended on a few channels, but just haven't gotten to it yet

i took quite some time to read name of the wind, but the writing style is so wholesome and also i absolutely love kvothe

The rainbow shelf: The end of the day. That book is brilliant. I cannot praise it enough. It’s just as good as The first fifteen lives, imo. Brilliant characters, amazing foreshadowing, might get a bit draggy in the middle but it’s worth it.

You are the booktuber I mostly compare my books to. We have a lot of similar tastes and star ratings. So before picking up a book I look if you have read it. With that in mine I think you would love the first law series and Jo Nesbo's The Snowman

I have about 200 unread books on my shelves and you know what? Quarantine, day 20: totally worth it!

Give An Unkindness of Magicians a chance! It is really good. I breezed right thru it. Also, it is a standalone so there isn't a huge commitment to a series.

please read between the world and me!!! might be my top fave book, very beautifully and thoughtfully written

All The Ugly And Wonderful Things is a fantastic book! I read it nearly 3 years ago and it has stuck with me. Also, Carry On by Rainbow Rowell was really fun (I haven’t really liked any of her others) and The Girl From Everywhere was good, too. I listened to it as an audiobook and enjoyed it.

I recently read Seveneves and I would strongly recommend starting with some other book of his. I didn't enjoy it and from the reviews I gather that his older stuff is bit better. Happy reading!

For your Sanderson shelf - The Reckoners trilogy is also my least favorite of his but don't let that stop you from trying The Rithmatist. It has a mystery twist within a fantasy set at a magical school. I really enjoyed and will always recommend it:-)

For Sabriel by Garth Nix I'd very much recommend listening to the audiobook! It's read amazingly by Tim Curry. I knew nothing about the books and listened to it specifically because he read them, I enjoyed it so much I ended up listening to the whole series!

I loved an Ember in the Ashes! Graceling is also on my TBR and has been for so long!!

I believe The Husband’s Secret takes place during Easter, I’m a very seasonal reader, so I recommend it for spring.

And yes, give up on A Head Full of Ghosts author! I agree with you there sadly haha

Currently reading Nicholas Eames Kings of the Wyld and loving it! Also currently reading The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan, its good but I would say only do a little at a time, I only read a chapter or two a day.

AGE OF MYTH is amazing! My favorite fantasy series of all time!

First of all, I love your sweater!! I can't wait to hear what you think of The Book Thief. I just said in my last TBR video that I'm rereading it with my book club and its and all time fav.

Tigana is amazing 😍

11/22/63❤️ it’s my favourite and way better than the TV show.

Ugh, so happy u are reading leviathans wake of the expanse serie, one of my absolute favourite

Ohhh I saw Falling Kingdoms on your shelf. I loved that series. And The Bone Season, too.

I LOVED Eye of the World by Robert Jordan! We have similar taste in books - I think you'll love it too.

Michael Crichton’s The Andromeda strait is soooo befitting to read during the pandemic and quarantine. It’s a nice read.The audiobook was really good as well.

Big fan of Joe Abercrombie! I've read 9 of his books so far. A good read if you're in the mood for grim dark fantasy, gritty and graphic! :D

11:23 Conceptually Blindsight is totally hard(core) sci-fi to it's bones and seems to be a love it or hate it affair. I'm in the former camp, it's one of my absolute favourite sci-fis along with Simmon's Hyperion and Wolfe's Book of the New Sun which I see (at least vol 1) are also on your shelves. They're the three books (series) in your whole collection I'm most eager on hearing your thoughts on (if/when you ever get around to them) more than even the long-awaited Children of Ruin! Thanks for this vid, always great entertainment, especially during this lock down. Hope you're staying safe!

That's a smart idea, turning around the books you have read... So i spotted you had The Queen of Blood. That's a really good fantasy book, and i personally love the crap out of it. So, i would love to know your thoughts on it. :)

The Bone Season is really worth it such an interesting world

I strongly recommend The Blade Itself ! A slow start but you get to appreciate the characters and their arc 😁 (the whole trilogy should be read back to back if you ask me...)

Golem and jinni should be read soon!!! Wicked Saints if you haven't gotten to it yet either! Just finished the Lying Game. Wasn't too bad.

I have an undergraduate degree in English and a Master’s in library, so I’ve read a LOT of books. That being said, I’m terrified you’re going to unhaul “Gone With the Wind” before you read it. It’s hands down my favorite book of all time.

I would highly highly recommend The Unseen World, The Nix, Wheel of Time, Traitor's Blood, The Empreror of All Maladies and of course, The Way of Kings. These are some of my all time favorites.

definitely not ruined by amy tintera. thats one of the only books i thought was bland. and i was so excited for it.

The Count of Monte Cristo is my favorite book! I want to try it in French next time I reread it, but I need to get ahold of a physical copy because I haven't found an ebook edition that I really like the formatting of.

I spied Code Name Verity and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo on your shelves. I loved both of these!

I think you should try to get to Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft. I love his books so much and I think you will really enjoy them too.

I need that sweater in my closet💜

Physics of the future sounds pretty interesting. I am currently reading Physics of the Impossible and it is pretty cool to see how far or close we are from concepts such as teleportation and other things done in sci-fi

the emperors blades!!! so good omg

I really really liked the painted man!!! Would definitely recommend x

The kite runner is one the best books I’ve read, I think you’ll enjoy it, it’s beautifully written

To echo other comments, The Rithmatist is surprisingly good! Really the only thing that I didn't like is there's no sequel out yet...but still worth reading!

Very random, but I saw you had Hyperion. I was never sure if I liked Science Fiction, but Hyperion flipped a switch. Still think about the Shrike when the lights are off. 🤣 Excellent to get to see some of your anticipated reads! À bientôt !

please read the farseer trilogy. and princess bride ! amazing books you should definitely read.

Be ready to ugly cry when you read The Knife of Never Letting Go. I don’t cry easily, but Patrick Ness can get me.

The Thing Around Your Neck ❤️❤️ one of the best books I've read!!

As far as your taste, you will LOVE the lies of Locke Lamora, The name of the wind and The Emperor's Blades. I was one of the people that recommended you Nevernight, so I guess I might have a point... :D

You haven't read The Princess Bride! 😱 it is absolutely wonderful, it has a nostalgic feel, a great adventure and is just really funny (you can skip some parts depending on the edition you have)

I kind of have a feeling you’re not gonna like Outlander, but it’s always the first book I notice in your videos!

From the ones I saw, I would highly recommend The Girl With the Dragon tatoo (much better than average thriller, especially the second book) and The First Law Trilogy (best grimdark fantasy with incredible character work)!

I think I'm doing the same with my shelves, turning all the read books around, LOL

So many of my favorites there! Definitely you should read The Terror by Dan Simmons. It's been over a year since I read it and I still think about it.

It's nice to realize you're one of my fellow binge buyers when it comes to books

Three parts dead is weird in a good way. Story is ok, but you mostly read it because the world is so unique - I mean corporate necromancy? Come on. Story is self-contained in book one enough so that you don't feel compelled to read the whole cycle. Lies of Locke Lamora is one of the best books I've read, even though it has a very mediocre first chapter or so. Plow through it and you won't regret it. Colour of magic was fun for me, but is agreed among fans as not the book to start with, because of just how good Going Postal is. Cat's Cradle is great, but Sirens of Titans is even better imho. Last Wish is allright, Sword of Destiny is better, but they're mostly short story collection entry into great novel series. I'm jealous about bookshelf, but also, we have overlapping tbr. High five!

These videos are always very interesting!

'If someone asks if you've read your entire book collection, you don't have enough books' - old saying.

Love this video idea!!
