Title it Judging books by their covers, give them a star rating by the cover then see if your final ratings are the same after you are done reading them
Do some sort of epic mystery box battle where you find the best book? Or like rank them in different categories like cover, smut/steaminess, best male love interest, best title, etc
I feel like you should do a series, read all the ones from the 80's, 90's, and 2000's, and see what era of historical romance you like best. Or a series where you rate the books cover and make a tier list for them based on the cover, and then retier them when you've read them, and see if the cover matches the cover :)
I cut my teeth on Zebra Historical Romances with "bodice ripper" covers....waaaay before I should have been reading stuff like that. LOL! I would sneak them home in my purse, stay up all night to finish it, and then hid them in a box in my closet. 😄 And my very first one was Johanna Lindsey's Silver Angel.
Ummm....YES, VIDEO OF THEM ALL!!!!!! So intrigued to see how these all ranked after seeing your brief overlook of them all!!!! So here for that video 1000%!!!!
I work at a Half Price Books store! While my location was closed to the public a few months ago, I was in charge of alphabetizing our mass market paperback sections. So. Much. Nora Roberts. In the romance section. But I learned a lot of romance author names which I now recognize in this video!
I collect bodice rippers from the '80s but I've never done a mystery box! It seems fun! I too am I horse girl, so every time there's a horse on a bodice ripper I get so excited!
You literally have the face of a woman from a renaissance painting… you’re so lovely. I adored this video and I’ve been wanting to get into old historical romance books… I just finished Forever Amber so I’ll definitely look at eBay now
I LOVE IT 🙌 I am here for all the historicals, I mean those covers are just gorgeous 😍 stepbacks are the best 🥰 Those surprise boxes are just so much fun! I totally agree with how these type of books are coming back and it’s so exciting. And also I totally want to read that Beatrice Smalls because I was shook when I found out Henry the 8th had six wives haha. Also- I love your setup, the background just looks so cozy with all your bookshelves.
Reading vlog!!! Maybe pick the 5 you're most excited about and read them and let us know what you think. Unless you really want to read all 20 I also think it would be fun to see a birth year romance vlog and only read romances from 1994
Johana Lindsay was my first historical romance author!! I think the book you have is a Malory novel, she has a book for every member of the Malory family. Last year came out the last one, and of course I got it. I still get sneak peaks of my favorite couples in the latest books!!!
Love this. I loved these kind of books back in the day. Johanna Lindsey was one of my favorites. Rosemary Rogers was probably my favorite. Julie Garwood is good too.
I’d love a reading vlog for all of these! I probably won’t read any of these myself, but I love hearing you talk about books I’m not planning to read...if that makes any sense
I got this box too and did an unboxing! It was so much fun. You got so many great ones and authors I hadn’t heard of. I love all of the medieval ones. You should definitely do a reading vlog.
So happy I found your channel! Love this idea and I’ve been wanting to try ordering a mystery box or one of those blind date with a books!! 🤗 seems so fun not knowing what book(s) you get
Great video! Would love to see a video of either reading blog or reviews of these. You could split it up into parts or do one big video. Or you could do a "smuttiest regency romance books" video. Cause ya know that's what the ladies wanna know haha
Love the headband! Also this is such a great idea. I want to see if there are other boxes like this for like, old horror/thrillers or something. Looks like you got a couple gems!
I would love a bracket style video or something for these. A fun way to rate/pit them against each other. Also include covers as part of the rating etc lol
So fun! I can't wait to get mine. It's supposed to be here tomorrow and I am Hella nervous! I love HR and I own quite a few. I'm excited to see what they sent me
so excited to hear what you think of these!! This was such a fun video and I hope these turn out to be good reads for you ☺️💗💓 I love historical romances but the older ones can be SO hit or miss so hopefully you’ll have some good recs for us coming out of this box. Also you look so CUTE with your bow 🥺❤️
hi Chandler! great video :) I adore Tender Rebel, but I thought I'd let you know it's the second one in Johanna Lindsey's most famous series, the Malory family, just in case you care about reading order like I do.
My mother loves these kinds of books, we have stacks of them on all the coffee tables! I'd be interested in a second video reviewing the books, they have me intrigued!
I read almost exclusively historical romances in middle school (lol anyone else or just me) anyways, I LOVE Bertrice Small! One of my fav books by her is The Kadin, it’s definitely an epic journey and I think awesome historical romance ❤️ one of the characters from The Kadin makes an appearance in Rosamund’s story (there’s a few books in the series).
Absolutely loved this haul!! I just got a mystery box for a haul video too from the same book store on ebay and I am soooo excited for all the historical romances I got!! Your box got a lot of great ones too!! Also I would LOVE to see you do any reading vlogs with these!
Ohhhh I love this!! You should read the ones you think have the prettiest covers and the ones you didn't really like the covers and see if you can in fact judge a book by its cover 😂 or read the ones you have the highest expectations for and the lowest and see if they match and you were right. That would be so much fun and I would definitely watch a 2 hour vlog with that 😂
Omg your jewelry is GORGEOUS! Where do you get it?? Also is that your natural hair texture? Beautiful. love you & your videos and can’t wait to see what you think of these books 🥰
I'd definitely love a reading vlog with at least some of these books. You are all so lucky in the US to have these sellers doing this, you can't find them in the UK.
I think maybe it would be cool to do all (or if u can't do all pick like 1 u like the most by the cover and not content) and then read them and do a review but while tier ranking them based on both the cover and the book, u knwo the ranking system that many videos are doing now, I think it's a fun visual and fun to do! :)
I think you can do all the books, but you could also do a video with the ones from your birth year and start a new challenge/tag where you as well as those you tag have to read books from either just the romance genre, or open it up to various genres, from the persons birth year. It would be interesting to see how themes, subject matter, esthetics, writing styles, etc. differ based on everyone’s birth year. Anyway, love your videos!!! Helping me get through quarantine.
I bought one from the same seller after seeing Jess's video and my box was in great condition so that may have been the postal service. You had some great books in there! I got like 90% westerns lol. Not exactly what I was going for but I guess I'll give it a try. I would love to hear your thoughts on some of these. We need all the historical romance content. I'm absolutely living for it
Bringing back memories of my teenage yrs when me and my friends would exchange cheesy romance books. My favorites were always the ones with an Indian romane. Savage Love was my favorite. 💜😁😍
I've been interested in reading more historical romances. Thanks to you I just bought a mystery box from the same company! Can't wait to see what I get.
I just bought one today. It's my Birthday Month so I decided why not. I didn't really give them much of an idea on what I wanted. But I did say I would like no Western just because I am not in the mood for it. And no Julie Garwood, because I have a lot of her books already. It's suppose to be here the day of the historical romance readathon or the day before. Awesome books, I can't wait to see the reading Vlog For the books!!!!!
