I don't have to put them all on the stack, right? Like just enough to make it look like
I put in effort for that thumbnail. Oh, f*ck. Hello everybody. Today, I'm recording a video
for the first time in a while. I'm back at home back in the Seattle area with my
family, back in my old bedroom, sitting on the floor because it's the only space I
have that's not covered in all of my belongings. I just got back from New York
for Book Expo and book con and I have a bit of a haul and I'm really excited
about so many of these titles, so I don't even know where to start. So you all know
that I don't typically do a ton of hauls on my channel. I don't love hauls. I like
when you can actually talk about a book in depth, but I think a BEA
haul is quite effective because it lets you know kind of books on that are
coming out later this year or early next year, kind of gets things on your radar,
so that's why I'm doing one today. Before getting started in the actual book haul, I
thought I'd show you a couple cool things that are not full books. Firstly,
I got this like teeny tiny, it's like four pages of the new illustrated
edition of Harry Potter but we saw this they're giving these out and my whole
friend group just like dashed over to scholastic. So this is really pretty. I
got one of the first illustration at BEA in 2015 and I still have it and I really
want to frame some of those pictures. I got a sampler for The Language of Thorns
by Leigh bardugo which is when I'm most anticipated reads. I love Leigh Bardugo.
I love Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom. this comes out in September. I wish this
was a completed book, but it's not, but it is absolutely stunning like it's got
all these this imagery and these --oh, beautiful. You probably know Emma, Emma Books,
you probably know how much she loves Shadowhunters, she posts a ton about it. I
really have shadowhunters as well, I just don't talk about it a ton. But we
made it a point to keep going back to the Shadowhunters booth because they
were giving out, they were doing like merchandise drops every like twice a day,
I think it was and we got all these pins. We got the Angelic rune, this is
the antidote rune and the heavenly fire rune, which is really really cool. We
were so pumped about these and kept like dashing off by ourselves to go get them.
We also got this collection of postcards from The Dark Artifices. I
read Lord Of Shadows and I've got a lot of feelings, so good. We got Kieran, you get
the Seelie Queen, Emma, there's Emma Carstairs. These are all done by oh, what's
her name, Jean, Cassandra Jean. There's Kit, oh that's actually not how I
thought Kit would look, weird, yeah they're really cool.
Jaime. Very cool, very cool. Also I have a little photo booth here. wait, look
at us. we cute. I guess I'll just start with the first book that I've actually
already read and that is Spinning by Tillie Walden. it didn't fit my checked
luggage and so I had it in my carry-on. if you can hear my dog crying, I'm sorry.
anyway, spinning is a graphic memoir about ice skating it's about a queer
girl going through her life. she ice skated for 12 years and this is actually a
graphic memoir, so it's the story of Tillie herself and it's just about her
life as an ice skater and growing up and how her relationship to ice skating
evolves over the years and relationships to other people and coming out and things
like that. it is pretty good I really liked the art, especially. I'm not huge on
graphic novels in general, but I did really like this book. The next book
I have here is before I let go by Marieke Nijkamp. I'm sorry if I
pronounced it wrong. it's Dutch, I'm not great at Dutch, but she wrote This Is
Where it Ends, which is the novel about the school shooting that came out last year or
the year before that was really, really popular. I have not read that, but I was
with my friend Emma and she went to pick this up so I joined her and we actually
got it signed which is really cool. This book is set in Alaska and it's a story
of a death and then kind of the mystery around it, so I believe this will be a
lot about grief, a lot about, yeah, a mystery in a small town things like that. That
is kind of what I'm picking up, and friendship as well. This comes out
January 2018, so it's bit far out but put it on your
list if that sounds at all interesting. The next book was an intense process
because this dropped- this is There's Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie
Perkins. It's Stephanie Perkins new novel, it's a thriller, mystery, horror novel and
this dropped at 9 a.m. on the Friday of Book Expo and we got
there right when it opened and we went and got this book and it was chaos.
everyone is grabbing and pushing and I was like 'we're all adults here,
what is happening?' I literally yelled it at people because it was a bunch of adults
like grappling on the floor for a book. it's coming out in September, it's not-
it's not that far off. I don't know anything about this book, I didn't want
to know anything other than like horror thriller mystery because I feel like
that's a good way to go into that type of genre, but Stephanie Perkins, who
normally it's really fluffy contemporaries, so we'll see. The next
book was another highly anticipated one that we sat and waited for for a good
while and that is 27 Hours by Tristina Wright. If you're big in the diversity
community here on booktube, you've probably heard a lot about this. this is
a story, it's a sci-fi story with an entirely or mostly queer cast and also I
believe there is some deaf representation or hard-of-hearing
representation. we've got monsters, it's got war, it's got runaways. I was so
excited, this is on my top-- Stephanie Perkins and this and one of the book are my top
three to reads. I'm gonna read them as soon as possible and I'll bring you some
reviews. This comes out in October of this year the next book another one I'm
quite excited about it's The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton and I actually met
Dhonielle in the queue for Starbucks with some my friends who knew her and she was
so so sweet and I was like this is so actually the first book I picked up at
BookExpo because it was on the Disney Hyperion table and yeah, it looks
beautiful with that cover. this doesn't come out until February next year, wow,
that's really advanced. So what they have on the back cover here is, 'there's no beauty,
without blood.' I don't know a ton about this novel, I just know that it's being
very hyped because it is a lot about privilege. It's set in a different world
called Orleans, but I do know that one of the through lines is a story of excess
and privilege and how that dominates this city in this world and how the main
character in here is trying to fight against that.
So sounds really amazing, sounds really quite relevant, as well and I'm excited
to pick this one up soon. This is the third book that I was the most excited
for and that is They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera. I recently read History is
All You Left Me by Adam Silvera and I loved it and this premise sounds really
really cool. They Both Die at the End is the story of a world where people know
when they're going to die, and so the two main characters, two boys in this story
find out that they're going to die and then kind of come together and go on
adventures or something in their final few hours, which sounds really amazing. I
loved the relationships, dynamics between Adam's characters in
History and so I can't wait for that in here, as well. This comes out in September
of this year, so not too far off. The next book I got was actually at a party I
went to it was in a bag like a goody bag when we walked out, so I don't really
know anything about this. I just found a name tag from that party.
This is Moxie by Jennifer Matthieu and the top here has highlighted feminist
revolution, so it sounds like something I'm into. Vivian Curtis mom was a Riot Grrrl in
the 90s, so now she and Vivian live a quiet and uneventful life. When Viv witnesses
a series of sexist incidents at her school, she takes a page from her mom's
book and makes an feminist zine which she distributes anonymously to her
classmates. That's really cool, so basically she's fighting the patriarchy.
I'm into it. I'm actually really excited about this now. This comes out in
September of this year. the next book we have is Little & Lion by Brandy Colbert.
Little and Lion is the story of a girl who lives between two lives, between her home in
Los Angeles and where she goes to boarding school in New England and it
follows her life with her brother who has bipolar disorder and she actually
falls in love with the same girl that her brother is in love with. Drama,
contemporary, pick it up this- when does this come out- August. Really soon!
The next book I have here is Click'd by Tamara Ireland Stone. this apparently
is not a final cover, so this cover might change, but this is set to come out
in September of this year and Tamara has another book that Emma, my friend, who I
was with when I got this really liked and so I want to pick this up, as well,
and she signed it and she was so so sweet. it's a story of a girl who built an app
and kind of the drama that ensues when that app goes viral, I believe, which
sounds really cool. I quite like stories about kind of social media and things
like that because it feels very current and contemporary obviously. the next book
I have is something everyone's been talking about and it's Warcross by
Marie Lu. Warcross comes out in September of this year and I know very little
about the plot. I think it's kind of, I mean, I know I read Legend by Marie Lu
years ago and I feel like all of her novels are quite high paced and actiony,
so I believe this was probably somewhere along that lines.
I also hope it's got some queer representation because rainbow. It's got a
rainbow cover, it feels weird in 2017 for a rainbow cover to not mean queer,
so hoping for the best. all I know is that warcross, I believe, is a game of
some sort and it's a kind of similar to Hunger Games maybe where it's like
really intense and people die I'm not sure. my next book I have here is Hunting
Prince Dracula by Kerria Maniscalo. when we got this we could not remember
the title we kept calling it really weird names like counting hunt dracula
and things like that, and so every time I look at this it makes me laugh because
we could not figure out the name for so long. this is the second book by Kerri
and she wrote Stalking Jack the Ripper, which I read last year. I didn't love it,
I think it read a bit more like middle grade, but I liked it and I thought this
would be quite interesting incorporating Dracula into Victorian England. I believe
it is, um, yeah, so I think it is it the same characters- yeah the same characters,
so that's quite cool. it's like a sequel, but the different legend or myths or
whatever. that'll be fun. That'll be a fun read like later the summer I think and
that comes out in on September 19th of this year. The next book I got is
Alexandra Bracken's new book. I've never read an Alexandra Bracken book, which is
bad of me, but I wanted to pick this up anyway it's called the dreadful
prospects or no--The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding, sorry, and the big
poster also-- yeah it has a fox on it, so I'm really hoping it follows a fox or
someone with a pet Fox. 'Prosper is the only unexceptional Redding in his old
and storied family history, that is until he discovers a demon living inside of
him.' Alright. This is Alex's first middle grade, so this is her first venture
into that genre and I'm excited to read it. I really love middle grade, I think it's
such a formative time for children to be reading. the next book is another one of
my most anticipated reads of the year and that is Dear Martin by Nic Stone. She
was amazing, by the way, I had so much fun talking with her and she saw my Hogwarts
tattoo on my arm here and she asked me what house I am and she said she signed
it dear Kayley, she crossed out Martin, 'Dear Kayley, be your best (even though your
Gryffindor) #Slytherinpride. Very funny.
So this is this-- 'Justyce a good kid an honour student on his way to Yale, so why
is he the one in handcuffs?' I believe this is kind of along the long lines of The Hate U
Give, another blacklivesmatter kind of story and it's really short, actually, so short,
so I'll probably read that really soon. Next book I have is Zenith by Sasha Alsberg
and Lindsay Cummings. We were hanging out with Sasha and she was like, oh, did you
get a chance to grab my book and we hadn't so she took us over and
signed them for us this is a hugely anticipated novel in the YA community
because Sasha is obviously a booktuber and I believe Lindsay is as well,
actually, and yeah, they collaborated on this space book. You've probably already heard loads
about this. I'll link Sasha down below and you can check it out for yourself. I
believe this comes out in January 2018 so quite advanced. The next book is
another really anticipated title and it's E Lockheart's new book
Genuine Fraud, on sale in September of this year. I believe it's about a
friendship, I don't know anything about it, really, I like going to E Lockheart's
books kind of-- at least I loved going into We Were Liars without any sort of
preconceived notions, so I believe I'm gonna do the same with this one and
this is a short novel so I'll pick this up really soon and hope to get a review to you
guys. It does mention the American Dream on the back, which is really
interesting to me I love stories about the American Dream. Maggie Stiefvater's new
book All the Crooked Saints, this comes out in October of this year and this was
another one that everyone was really really excited about and I'm currently
going through The Raven Boys series, or, cycle,The Raven Cycle, so I'm really
enjoying her writing so I was I had to pick this one up,
obviously. I've actually already read Release by Patrick Ness, but I really
liked this cover, as well. I have the UK Edition because it comes out came out
already like last month in the UK but doesn't come out until September her,
but this book is amazing. I loved it and I want to get the US cover, so I figured
I'd pick it up while I was there and I've also got to lend it to people as
well if they want to read it. So good. It was inspired by Mrs. Dalloway
by Virginia Woolf and Forever by Judy Blume and it's so interesting it's a mix
of a coming-of-age, very emotional, heavy story and a ghost
story it's just unlike anything I've ever read before. Highly recommend. Forest of a
Thousand Lanterns is the first book in Julie Dao's new series A Rise of an
Empress and this is one that I knew was quite big in the fantasy world, I haven't
heard too much about it myself, but I kept hearing it- like the title, so I went
along I went to see if she was still doing a signing and I caught the very
end of it, so yeah, I'm excited for it. This comes out in October of this year.
I feel like my synopses are getting worse and worse as I
go on, but there are just so many books. You Bring the Distant Near by Mitali Perkins is
another book that I got in a goodie bag at a party and I didn't know anything
about it, but I love the colors and this cover is really interesting and it's a
story of a girl trying to fit in in America. she's moved to New York after
living in London and that's relevant to my interests. I think it's a story of kind
of how she's balancing her Bengali traditions versus her new life in Queens
and balancing her friendships and things like that. I think and there also seems
to be a tragedy that happens and yeah I think it's just kind of a really
interesting story of culture and moving and changes and growing closer to people
that you didn't previously think you'd be close to. Very interested in this one,
actually I'm going to pick this up soon and this comes out in September of this
year. Another book in that goody bag was a completed book that's already been out,
you've probably seen this around booktube, and it's The Love Interest by
Cale Dietrich, sorry I actually met him but he was really nice.
Two spies, one girl, whoever gets her to fall in love with him... lives. Very
interesting, I feel like it's a story of two spies who are meant to get the girl
to fall in love with them, but they fall in love with each other? Is that a spoiler or
is that the plot? I'm not sure, anyway, it's really a fast-paced fun book and
yes, that makes me excited to grab it. I read Shadowshaper a few months ago,
so it was quite thrilled to see Shadowhouse Fall by Daniel Jose Older and I
liked Shadowhunt-Shadowshaper, I didn't love it---did I say Shadowhunter before? I
might have. I liked Shadowshaper a lot and it's one of those books I feel
like I would have loved when I was about 15 years old. I felt like I was a little
bit too old for and the plot was like a little bit, um, like I'd seen it before. I see
it compared to like kind of a Caribbean version of the Mortal Instruments. I
definitely feel like that's accurate, so if you really like the Mortal
Instruments series, I think you'll like this series a lot because it's kind of
got a twist on that. A bit more artistic, a bit more culturally diverse, obviously,
and yeah it was exciting so I'm excited for the second one. This is quite short
actually, I feel like there's a shorter than the first one.
I guess second books usually are. One of my favourite series, duologies, of last year was
Wolf by Wolf and Blood for Blood by Ryan Graudin and this is her new book
Invictus and I don't know too much about this,
all I just know it's like doctor who meets guardians of the galaxy kind of
like a sci-fi space type thing, which is quite different from what she's written
before and I'm really excited about it, so this was one of my most anticipated
going into Book Expo. this comes out in September of this year. This is one that
everyone is really hyped about and I know nothing about, I literally just want
because all my friends were going and I picked it up because it was a signing and I thought
that would be cool. Really pretty, like, cover here.
Daughter of the Burning City by Amanda Foody. 'Wicked, wicked to the core, the
city will burn forever more.' I think it's just a new fantasy set in like a
different type of world. There's a traveling carnival involved, dreams and
desires... sounds awesome. this is the only book that I'd really never heard about
before at the event and that is Thing I'm Seeing Without You by Peter Bognanni.
Sorry if I pronounced that wrong. this is, I just got pitched this- like I was talking
to a woman at Penguin and she was saying that this was a book that made her laugh
and cry and you hear that a lot, but she was like, no, I genuinely was laughing and
crying at the same time, so I thought that was quite a good pitch, but it's a
lot about grief and I've read quite a bit of grief books this year and I found
them really really powerful and cathartic, so I grabbed this and the
final completed book, or the final ARC, I guess I have here is The Cruel Prince by
Holly Black. Holly Blackm a big name in YA fantasy, obviously, and everyone was very
excited about this. it's blurbed by Leigh Bardugo on the cover and I love Leigh
Bardugo. I did not get Wonder Woman, by the way, the queue was wild, so I did not
manage to get a copy, but it's coming out soon anyway, so I'm not too upset. This
comes out in January of next year, wow, quite advanced. And that's it! We did it!
Very long video, I apologize. By the way, fun fact, the bag-- I had like a tote bag
carrying all my books onto the plane and it broke and so I had to go find a bag
to carry all these books back from New York and I didn't really want to buy a
new luggage because I didn't need new luggage so I bought one I'm going to give to my
cousin, or my cousin's son rather, it's this R2D2 bag, so I carried this through New
York and it's a real short. It does not like that's as far as-- it was not easy, but
the books all got home. We're safe, it's great. Thank you for watching! Let me know what
you're really excited to read. I can't wait to read about like five of these. I
don't know which one to pick up first, so that'll be my dilemma next, once I clean
my entire room. it's a disaster. new videos on the way, hopefully, just give me
like a little bit of time to sort out my life. I'm unemployed, so, you know, what
else am I going to do? Thank you for watching and I'll see you next time!
