How to Train Your Gavin
Read those books in a blink, oh yeah
Grab yourself a hot drink cause you're
watching How to Train Your Gavin
Yep that's me hey guys welcome back to
how to train your Gavin today i am
doing my
very huge september tbr what's so big
about it you ask well
i am doing three readathons yes that's
right three readathons
and one of them i am co-hosting the
other two i
am just really excited to participate in
so it's gonna be a fab
month i will run through all of the
things that i'm doing in this video i'm
expecting it to be very long because i'm
combining two
tbr games together and i am just going
to be talking about a lot of books
there's going to be a lot of rounds of
play your tbr right
so if you are new to my channel if this
is your first video for play your tbr right
i am doing a monthly tbr game which i've
ripped off of every single person on
booktube who's done a tbr game before
but essentially my tbr game is called
play your tbr right so every month i
pretty much pick
between two books one that i would
really love to read and one that i
would still like to read but not as much
there are danger rounds where i will
pick a book that i'd love to read
and a book that i really don't want to
read but however
how did i do in my august tbr because
there were
how many books was on my tbr game 32 i
think about 32 books on my tbr however
if i didn't complete all of the books
that i had picked for pick your tbr
right which i believe was seven in total
there were seven books that i had to
pick for play your tbr right last month
and i didn't finish two of them i did
read
over 30 books but i kept replacing
things on my tbr
including two of the books that i was
supposed to read so
that means that i have to punish myself
this month
and boy have i got some punishments
planned
so how do i play play your tbr right i
hear you ask just a little quick run
down of the rules i will place on two
sides two different books
and in order to decide between them i
put five cards between
and i have to turn the cards over and
guess higher or lower than the card
that's being shown
so a king is the highest card on the
deck and the ace
is the lowest if i have two matching
cards in a row
then i have to shuffle cards and guess
higher or lower than that card
from what i pick at the top of this deck
i have also added another thing to this
as well
i am counting how many wins and losses i
have done for play your tbr right so so
far out of the two months i've done this
i have lost eight rounds and won
three so when i get to 20 losses you
know throughout the year
throughout the amount of tbr games it
takes to get to 20 overall losses
i will punish myself in one way or
another
disclaimer i do have a lot of fun doing
these videos so don't think i'm you know
torturing myself i kind of am
but i'm having fun doing so that is my
kink
so don't feel bad for me i do this to
myself before i start as well there have
been a few people who have
played play your tbr right over the past
couple of months and i absolutely love
watching those videos if you do play
this game do let me know
show me your video i would love to watch
it and share it i do have a playlist
of all the people who have done it so far
if i've missed you do let me know in the
comments below
but i so far have Neeks' video in there
which was hilarious of course i have
Codie's Book Corner as well in there
as well as Books with Maddie, Ali Reads
Too Much has also given it a go
as well as Bookstorenerd2005. So i
will link their channels and
the video playlist down below if you
want to check those out too before i
talk about the readathons that i'm doing
i do want to quickly talk about the
books that i'm definitely reading
in september no tbr game involved in
these two i definitely have to read them
so i'm going to show you what they are
the first book i'm definitely reading and
i was not going to risk putting it on
play your tbr right because i most likely
would have lost the round that i would
be doing this for
and that is Hollowpox: The Hunt for
Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend,
this is the upcoming third book in the
Nevermoor series, it comes out in
the middle of October i think it's
October 15th in the uk
i have been anticipating this book for
so so long yep third book in the Nevermoor 
series this follows Morrigan Crow
who has been whisked away
to the land of Nevermoor to essentially
learn magic she
is a cursed child so she had to go there
to save her life but when she goes to
Nevermoor she has to prove herself
in a bunch of trials which happened in
the first book and then the second and
third book follow
kind of different storylines but they do
follow on from each other this one i
hear there is this illness
that is spreading throughout oh my gosh
hang on i've just realised
i don't think this is a reflection of
what's happening right now like that is
such a weird coincidence i've literally
just clocked on
but there is an illness that's spreading
to the wunanimals and it's making the
wunanimals act uh
different so there is this strange magic
going on in
Nevermoor and it's up to Morrigan to
find out what so i am really excited to
read this i
managed to get the proof sent to me and
i have been dying to just read it right
here right now
but you know i have got some things i
need to do before i can open this book
and read it but honestly i'm so excited
and thank you so much
Hachette for sending me this proof i
love you guys so so much thank you
so much this is oh i can't wait and this
is sort of my reward because i'm
looking at all the books that i could
end up potentially reading
and i am bricking it, i am sh*tting
myself
so this is my one solace it's all going
to be downhill from these first two
books i'm going to tell you that now
and then the second book that i
definitely have to read and the last
book before i get into the readathons is
Potkin and Stubbs by Sophie Green i just
read this for Believathon 2 in may
so you're asking why are you rereading
it so soon well me and Jade are doing a
middle grade monthly live show
at the start of october with the author
sophie green we are going to be
interviewing her
we're going to be doing a bit of a live
Q&A i'm going to be talking about the book
and it's going to be so exciting so i
really do i want to make sure that i
know this book inside
and out by that time i did read a lot of
books for Believathon 2
so there's already parts of this where
my memory is a little bit
shoddy no pressure really i'm going to
reread it it'll all come back to me i
just need to
reread it again just before the live
with sophie green so that i don't make
myself look like a mug
so there's that, Potkin and Stubbs does
follow a young girl called Lil
and she is a wannabe reporter in the
corrupt metropolitan city of
Peligan City, it's a little bit like
Gotham City in the way it's told and
it's very noir-esque
there is a ghost called Ned who comes to
Lil and he needs to know how he died
and what happened to him and she
investigates and it is such a great book
i gave it four stars originally i can't
wait to
reread it and rediscover why i loved it
so much
so getting onto the readathons and the
first readathon that i want to
participate in is Mammamiathon
and that is being hosted by Julia from
Shakespeare and Such and Julija from
Julija i hope i pronounced your name right
and that is running from the 1st to the
12th i had to get involved
because i have a really crazy vlog
idea for it and it does involve some
green screen
i've bought a couple of wigs if you've
seen my Cheetah Girls vlog
that's what you can expect from the
Mammamiathon vlog so
that i have that to look forward to i'm
really excited about that i'm really
excited it's the only reason i'm taking
part really i was already doing two
readathons
and i just thought you know what this
was an opportunity knocking
you know so i can't wait for you guys to
see what i have planned for that so
there are four paths to choose from or
you can pick one from each path
and i'm gonna pick one from each path so
from the Donna path i am picking
Money Money Money read a book you didn't
pay full price for
well how about a book i didn't pay for
at all and that is The Girl and the
Witch's Garden by Erin Bowman
this one i got in an OwlCrate Jr box
which was sent to me
because i'm an OwlCrate Jr rep but
i'm going to be buddy reading this with
Mollie from Mind of Mollie
and i am really excited about this
because i just absolutely love the vibes
this gives me it gives me Mary and the
Witch's Flower vibes so this follows a
girl who goes to live with her grandma
at this really beautiful manor but
there are rumours about her grandma being
a witch
and i don't really know that much else
about it it's been very under-hyped i've
barely heard anybody talk about it it
was in an OwlCrate Jr box but that's
about it i haven't heard any reviews
about it
so i'm really excited to read this with
Mollie i think it's gonna be so magical
so the next path is the Sophie path and
i am going to be going for the Lay All Your
Love On Me prompt and that is to read a
book you think you will love
so for that one i'm gonna read Spot the
Cock and this one is like a search and find
book if you know like
Where's Wally but it's more like Where's
Willy and you know what i've already
gone through some of these pages to try
and spot the cock
it is actually quite hard i did really
want to put something on this tbr that i
could get through quickly
so i yeah this is the one i'm going for
and i definitely think i'm going to love
it
so these are the two books that i want
to read from my Mammamiathon there are
going to be two more books
but i have a lot of arcs on netgalley that
i want to try and get to as well
so i'm going to kind of mood read you
know Mamma Mia and Mamma Mia 2
are two mood movies that i can just like
watch anytime and just fall in love and
get lost in it and just
yeah so i feel like i should do some
mood reading for
Mammamiathon especially since what i
have coming for you
is it's making me sweat already it is
making me sweat
so i want to have fun with these two do
check out Julia's and Julija's videos down
below as well i will link their
announcement videos so for this second
read-a-thon and the third read-a-thon i
am going to be playing Play Your TBR
Right
so roll the theme tune you're watching
play your tbr right
yep that's unoriginal
so the first readathon i will be doing
is one i am co-hosting
and that is the Touch of Whimsy:
Adventures Through Wonderland
readathon this is the readathon i'm
co-hosting with
Lexi from Alexandra Roselyn and Kalyn from
Kalyn Abridged, they created
the readathon and asked me and Jade from
middle grade monthly if we would help
co-host in the month of september and we of
course said yes so if you want to know
more information about that
i will leave all of the announcement
videos and the details and the
downloadables and everything like that
in the description box below we do have
an absolutely gorgeous map for it as well
that you follow along through wonderland
and get to the
end so before i get into my play your
tbr right rolls i do want to
say the group book for that is The Train
to Impossible Places by P G Bell this
follows Suzie who
one day a train crashes through her
house well i wouldn't say exactly
crashes but it magically goes through
her house
and this is a train that can go to
impossible places, it can go under the sea
and go into space it can do whatever and
Suzie ends up going on this train and
being in on this really epic adventure
so this is a group book i will
definitely be reading it so i want to
put that to one side
however to punish myself for not
completing all of my play your tbr right
last month i have got a really horrible
wicked thing that i'm doing to myself
so for the books that i'm picking for
each of these rounds for a touch of
whimsy
i am going to be picking a book that i
really want to read and will fit the
prompt
between a book that i do still want to
read but it will not fit the prompt so
that feels like a punishment in itself
okay
i know people were complaining that
stakes weren't that high in the last video
however i really don't want to read the
books that will not fit the prompt
because what is the point i'm crazy
okay i am crazy i don't know why i'm
doing this to myself so the first prompt
for the touch of whimsy readathon
is going down the rabbit hole and
reading a book that is set in another
world
so for that prompt i actually want to
read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by
Lewis Carroll
i believe Through the Looking Glass is
also in this as well and of course this
is set in another world alice goes down
the rabbit hole and goes into wonderland
and we all
know what this is about so this is the
book that i definitely want to read so
i've got my goal book over on that side
the book that won't fit this prompt i
still want to read it but it won't fit
this prompt
and that is Arsenic for Tea by Robin
Stevens this is the second book in the
Murder Most Unladylike series
and this is set in our world this is set
in the 1940s it might be the 1930s or
the 1940s
and this follows two young girls who
create their own detective agency
and they solve mysteries why am i
putting this on here because this will
not fit the prompt it's not set in
another world this is why i really need
to get
to this side this is why the stakes are
high okay
so i'm gonna put that one over here like
honestly i've already lost eight rounds
i cannot lose any more
if i lose 12 more rounds then i will
have to punish myself again
let's see how the first one turns out
the first round
so let's start this first round i'm so
excited the first card is
oh it is a one okay that is the lowest
and that is fantastic
so i'm going to go higher three
oh my gosh this could I don't want to
jinx it, I don't want to jinx it
three higher oh my god if this is a two
or an ace again it's a four
oh my god it's a four what whoa sorry
wait why am i apologising to a bunch of
books well how has this happened
okay could this actually be a real no i
don't want to say it i don't want to say
it
four oh my god oh i'm gonna say higher
because obviously the odds are more in
favour of being higher
but still like this is just too good to
be true some
something's got to give something's got
to give
right it's a seven it's a seven i am
allowed one swap per game
and oh seven is right in the middle as
well
so higher or lower than a seven oh my
god they've all been higher so far why
do i feel like this is
oh god um seven i really i can't read
that for this prompt
so please let me win please let me win
please let me win please let me win
should i push my luck and say higher again
should i push my luck and say higher again
i feel like something's got to give
something's going to go wrong here
something's going to go wrong here
seven i want to say higher so bad
but i also want to say lower so bad
Higher
yes oh my gosh okay i've won i won i won
oh my god that first round
was so good that first round was so good
okay thank you so much
for your cooperation ah see this game
screwed me over last month
but oh right it's still early days
though that was only the first round
there's gonna be like nine more rounds
in this game so after we go down the
rabbit hole we have to go through the
flower garden and that is to read an
aesthetically pleasing book you're going
to love
the option i don't want to read for this
one okay so the book that i really do
want to read for this one is Kiki's
Delivery Service by Eiko Kadono
this cover is absolutely gorgeous and
it's like one of the most aesthetically
pleasing books i've ever seen
the blue the illustration by Joe Todd
Stanton
and it just it looks incredible this is
the book that inspired the Studio Ghibli
movie
this one i think came out in the 1980s i
think just before the movie came out
and this has been translated it just
looks like it's gonna be such a great
fun adventure
and it does follow Kiki and her cat Jiji
i think it's called and they go into
this town and she kind of starts up her
own delivery service
it's been a long time since i watched
the movie but this is the book i
definitely want to read
you're going to love this the book that
i don't want to read one because this is one
not an aesthetically pleasing book
and two this is not middle grade and the
wonderland readathon
is middle grade only so the book that if
i lose i'm going to have to read is
Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer how
how am i going to read this because it
doesn't fit in the prompt
that is definitely not an aesthetically
pleasing cover in fact that's a
disgusting cover
i'm taking the cover off yeah so
Midnight Sun it's
huge as well i do not want to read this
for a middle grade readathon i mean it's
not it can't happen
it can't happen Midnight Sun is Twilight
but told in Edward's perspective
i mean i'm sure it'll be a fun ride
maybe now i do want to read it at
some point
i don't buy books that i don't want to
read unless i lose a round of play your
tbr right let's see if it even fits on
here
oh it does excellent i really want to
read kiki's delivery service have you
seen that cover like that is like
the whole whimsical wonderland readathon
embodiment right there that is what i
want to read it for
all right cards are shuffled
oh my god i'm actually shaking the first
card please be a good one is a jack oh
it's really high it's really high that's
good it's more likely to be lower it is
more likely to be lower
lower oh i got a seven
a freaking seven oh man right i can have
one
swap per round so i'm going to swap
that card please be really low
or please please please be really high
right i'm going to swap it for a nine
uh i mean it's higher it is higher
right nine lower higher than a nine
lower
oh my god oh okay right it's the same
number it's the same number which means
i have to shuffle oh my god i have to
shuffle
i have to shuffle the deck again back
when i first started this game
if i got two of the same number i
automatically lost but that was really
harsh
and right now i'm so glad i've changed
that rule i'm still going to change the
rule so i have to shuffle these cards
and guess higher or lower than the card
I pick oh my god please please i really
want to read kiki's delivery service please
midnight sun is not middle grade lower
oh one oh my gosh
obviously higher than an ace, eight
i'm gonna go straight into it and say lower
yes
ah okay next oh god
so the next two prompts are really vague
and it's really just make yourself a cosy
reading snack
and then pick up a book for a cosy night
in so we're gonna go to the queen of
hearts palace
pick a book you think you will love so
the book i think i'm gonna love is
Eva Evergreen,
Semi-Magical Witch by Julie Abe this one
has
recently come out and it's popped up on
my radar and i think i'm gonna love it
it has all of the kiki's delivery
service vibes so i'm really going for a
bit of a witchy
theme in september but this one has
three rules on the back it says one help
your town do good all round
two live there for one moon don't leave
too soon three fly home by broomstick
the easiest of tricks and i think it's
about a young witch who
has to live in this town and do things
otherwise she will lose her magic i
think she has to prove herself or
something as a witch or she will lose
her magic forever
something like that it just looked
really good so this is going to be the
book that i
really want to read and then for the
book that i don't want to read
and that is Glassheart by Katherine
Orton you're probably wondering well why
don't you want to read this one it is
one a proof
copy of an upcoming book and it's middle
grade so it does fit um
so the reason why i don't think i will
love this is because the author
unfollowed me on twitter
and so that's a little bit awkward
so this proof came um unsolicited i um
yeah that's all i want to say i'm being
forced to read that book
here we go first card
is a queen yay i'm gonna say
lower no
so that's nine losses now in total 11
more losses
and i have to punish myself
are you seeing what i'm seeing right now
a jack is lower than a queen right
oh what was i thinking what
okay so i've just had to come in to this
because
i didn't lose there and yet
i said lower and it was lower
i didn't lose that round or i mean i
don't know because i never progressed
after that i just thought a jack was
higher than a queen for some reason
in that moment so i am gonna keep
that i'm gonna punish myself for being
that f*cking stupid
oh my god i'm just i'm just shaking my
head
i'm shaking my head at myself right now
honestly so i'm reading this
A book I think i'll love so the next is the cheshire
cat pick a strange and mysterious book
so the book i do want to read for that
is Paola Santiago and the River of Tears
by Tehlor Kay Mejia and i believe this is mexican folk
tales it's a Rick Riordan presents book
so this is a brand new uh book and i'm
really excited to read it
this uh follows Paola and there is this
river
that she has been warned to stay away
from because there is the legend of
La Llorona
who is the ghost woman who wants to drag souls
into the river with her something like
that and i'm really excited to read this
one i think it's gonna be fab
especially since i really have been
enjoying Rick Riordan Presents books
so i think this one will definitely be
like strange and mysterious especially
since it has the whole
La Llorona legend in this as well and
the book that i don't want to read for
this prompt is because it's an adult book
and that is Offspring by Jack Ketchum
this one was in my very first video TBR
Right
and i lost to Leah on the Offbeat this
is a borrowed book i have borrowed this
from my friend
and i need to give this back at some
point so i do really want to read it
it's
a middle grade readathon so it's not
going to fit
come on please be good please be good
the first card it's a three
yes nice and low so i'm going to say higher
queen nice and high i'm gonna say lower
six in the middle i'm going to say
oh oh i'm going to say i'm going to say
higher oh but it's not even any better
it's not any better
see if i embody some positive vibes
maybe that'll work
come on you can do this you can do this
yeah it's fine
yes yes oh my god yes yes yes that was a
positive vibe so that was the positive
happy vibes you can do anything when you have
the positive vibes right yes well
i get to read this one for the
wonderland readathon which means
for the four books i'm reading for that
only one of them i don't want to read
yes get in oh my gosh i'm so happy
i'm so happy that first whole round
was incredible i am so happy i mean
obviously apart from f*cking Glassheart
but other than that i'm so
happy and i do feel like my luck is
going to run out with this next
readathon i am doing
so i am still playing my Play Your TBR
Right however i am adding another tbr
game to the mix
because in september Becca from Becca and
the Books is doing
Bookoplathon and that is going to be
a month-long readathon where you play it
with this very cute amazing board of
Bookopoly which is a monthly game that
Becca does for her channel
and is a huge inspiration for me it's
just it's so cute
it is so cute i love it so you
essentially roll as many times as you
want
you can do it one at a time you can do
it at the start of the month then
you know do all that jazz i'm doing all
of my rolls together so you will see
exactly what
but i am going to be picking two books
for each of the spaces that i land on
and then Play Your TBR Right to pick between
them so i
am excited to play so i'm going to be
doing five rolls because that's what
Becca does
and whenever you roll a double you have
to add another roll onto it
so i do have a few counters as well that
i i really want to use
for this i've got some fantastic
counters for it so
i mean let me know which one is your
favourite but we have this
counter here which is of course becca
from becca and the books
this was when she was hunt from
Crescent City in the Crescent City music
video that we did
me, Ashleigh and Becca so there's that one
or we have this one
which i can't really remember the
context of it
to be honest however it is a very nice
option
as well we also have this stunning
counter too
i mean honestly i'm spoiled for choice
this one
which is i mean this is probably what
Becca is doing at the screen right now
as she watches this you know just to
change things up a little bit there we
have Ashleigh from A Frolic Through Fiction
riding Becca and let's not lie we all
want to do that too
yeah i feel like this one is a really
good option it just reminds me of Lady
Godiva you know
there's also this one which is you know
uh that is becca but it was
one of those really weird medieval
painting
auto generated face things that we did
and i just love this as well
and tomorrow there is this one i can't
really remember the context behind this
one as
well but becca looks scared becca and
this is
this is me with bookopoly right now to be
honest this is apt and then the last one
is also from the crescent city well
behind the scenes
where i nearly accidentally put my
finger up becca's bum
you know when all is said and done i oh
that's a mamma mia little nod there
when all is said and done i think i'm
going to go for the Ashleigh riding Becca
option because
can you just imagine this going along
the board it's just
it's beautiful so let's get to the rolls
and the first roll is
four and TBR vet
so for the first roll i landed on TBR
Vet and i have two
options for this and one of them i
really want to read and one of them i
really don't want to read so the one i
do want to read is Percy Jackson and the
Titan's Curse
this has been on my TBR for so long i
have a really
not great horrible cover for it i got
this
gosh years and years ago and i've been
slowly working my way through the series
as i have with every series i ever read
and yeah this is the third book in the Percy
Jackson series i need to say no more the
book that i don't want to read is
New Moon by Stephenie Meyer so i only
ever read the first book and i reread
the first book a few months back
because i was planning on reading the
entire series for the first time this
was the next book i
just i this one looks really boring i
really don't like the movie version of
it and i've heard bad things about it of
course it is the twilight series i mean
you either love it or you hate it
and it's a bit of a guilty pleasure for
me but i do think i'm going to be really
bored with this book so i really don't
want to read this one
so let's combine mine and Becca's TBR
games together to bring you
the epic Pick Your Bookopolathon Right
okay cards are shuffled
our starting card is a 10
high it's very high um i'm gonna say
lower oh god
right okay lower again
oh god oh my god why does seven keep pop...
seven is my lucky number, it's not so
lucky in these games
i tell you i'm gonna go all out and say
it's lower again
oh right oh my god what ten nine seven
six
if this is a five that would actually be
beautiful but then again where's the
eight
where's the eight oh that could be the
eight so should i say higher lower than
a six
what should i do what should i do what
should i do what
are you what are you lower
it is a five how does this keep
happening i'm shuffling
but i'm that's amazing yeah yeah
i obviously need to shuffle better
though because how weird was that
so roll number two
we have a nine
bit struggle there, POC rep
so for roll number two i landed on POC
rep and the first book i really want to
read is Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn
Bayron yeah this was in my last tbr video
and i really wanted to read it
but i lost out so i never got a chance
to so i'm bringing this one back because
i'm so desperate and eager to read it
uh this one is set 200 years after
cinderella has died and i believe
there's a ball every year
and all of the women and the men get
paired together
and they are like forced to marry kind
of thing and the main character she
falls in love with her best friend who
is a woman
and she ends up going and escaping into
a forest something like that and i just
really want to read it
the book that i mean i still want to
read this don't get me wrong i still
want to read it
it is Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia
Hibbert i do really want to read it i've
seen so much hype for this
on you know booktube recently and on
twitter a lot of my faves have read this
one and loved it so i'm really letting
myself off easy with this round i'm so
sorry because these are like two books i
do want to read
but yeah i'm going to put Get a Life,
Chloe Brown on this one i really do
want to read Cinderella is Dead though
that's my main
goal i really want to read that one but
of course if i lose
no biggie i still want to read that one
too so let's try this
one out cards are shuffled
starting card is a three nice
nice and low, higher, queen
nice and high, lower two nice and low
higher four higher
oh no that was going so well
oh i was on such a roll there it looked
like it was going to be
it looked like it was going to go a
certain way okay not too bad though i
still get to read Get a Life, Chloe Brown, I
have heard so many great things about it
chloe brown is a chronically ill
computer geek with a goal
a plan and a list oh yeah so she's got
things like enjoy drinking night out
ride a motorbike go camping
have meaningless but thoroughly
enjoyable sex oh gosh yes please
and travel the world with nothing but
hand luggage and do something bad
so it does look really good i am excited
to read it um well that means
for another another month that means
Cinderella is Dead is not getting read
so time for roll number three
and now we have a seven
Becca Pick, so roll number three i landed
on
Becca Pick and so i didn't ask Becca to
pick anything for me
but i do have a couple of books that i
know Becca would approve of
and one of them she did gift me and she
is desperate for me to read
and i was supposed to read it a couple
of months back anyway i feel like she
would be really happy with either of
these options
so the first book that i really want to
read is A Court of Mist and Fury
no it's not A Court of Wings and Ruin
by Sarah J. Maas and this one is the
third book in the ACOTAR series which
i'm excited to get to i
love the second book so so much i think
this would be amazing to get on
it is chunky so i want to pop this one
over here oh wait i haven't even
sorry I haven't got rid of these i'm not very
professional i don't really want to read
this month
becca really wants me to read it so bad
and a lot of people would want me to
read this i'm sure
and i do want to read this at some point
however it is
huge but that is The Final Empire by
Brandon Sanderson
and this one is the first book in the
Mistborn series it does look really good
i'm not gonna lie it does look really good
however i don't want to start another
series i have so many that i'm in the
middle of
including that one i want to try and
finish that series
so Final Empire, time
to shuffle again i really want to try
and
get this to be a really good
round oh that was a king i dropped a
king
i'm not gonna pick it up it means i've
lost the highest card on here
our starting card is a 10
lower, higher,
higher, oh my god
that is the highest card i've won this
f*cking round
lower, yes, i still have
you know more rounds but this has been
such a good month that i get to read A
Court of Wings and Ruin thank you thank you
thank you i'm so sorry Becca i will
get around to reading this i promise i
promise
so on to the fourth roll now
and it's a double f*cking five so we
have a 10.
Also i forgot i do need to turn this
board over for you guys
so that you can see where i'm going so
let's uh
let's move Ashleigh riding Becca
yeah oh this looks so fun oh how i wish
i was Ashleigh right now
and it is a five star prediction so the
fourth roll was a f*cking double
and i landed on five star prediction
which isn't too bad i guess it could
have been worse but it does mean i have
to add on another
roll at the end so instead of five rolls
i'm doing six
so this one is five star prediction so i
couldn't really pick something that i
didn't want to read for it so
yeah two books for five star prediction
and the first one is The Betrayals by
Bridget Collins
and this is not the sequel to The
Binding but this is by the same author
as The Binding and i i don't really know
that much about it it has this really
crazy concept that i can't wrap my head
around in the synopsis
so i don't know how i'm going to get on
with this book it sounds a bit like
Starless Sea where there's gonna be like
a lot of waffle
and it is gonna be beautifully written i
think i did enjoy The Binding i really
want to read The Betrayals this one
comes out
in November i believe so this is an ARC
and i do really want to read it you know
because i don't want to have wasted an
ARC and the book that i'm going to put
on the other side which i still want to
read don't get me wrong i still want to
read
and that is The House in the Cerulean
Sea by TJ Klune, this was in my last play
your tbr right but i lost and i didn't get
the chance to read it unfortunately and
i've heard it's like middle grade but
for adults shuffle the cards so i'm not
too stressed about this one however the
losses do add up so i
don't want to lose because then i will
end up having to
punish myself when i reach number 20 and
i think now
i am on 10 losses let's
do this
i haven't really used swaps that much in
this as well
interesting okay so the first card is a
four
nice and low it's a four, uh i could
start doing like bingo announcements
whenever i turn these cards over
the next one i'm gonna predict higher
i'm feeling fine it's a nine, um
okay lower than yeah i'm gonna say lower
oh f*ck it's always like this it's
always like this
i mean it's fine because i get to read
The House in the Cerulean Sea finally
it does mean that, i wanted to read an ARC
i want to get the ARCs out of the way
ah never mind i am getting to read The
House in the Cerulean Sea
so i'm not complaining so what should have
been my final roll but it is not
it's time for the fifth roll
and it's a seven one two three four five
six seven f*ck
you big book f*ck you
yeah i mean this game is definitely not
for me
so i landed on big book so it has to be
a book over 500 pages now let me tell
you guys this is going to be the most
stressful round
of my life okay
if you wanted stakes you are going to
get stakes with
this round okay so firstly the book that
i do want to read
is A Clock of Stars by Francesca Gibbons
this is a middle grade it is over 500
pages
it is an ARC it comes out in October
it's very whimsical and magical it's
about a girl who goes through a door
into another world it's kind of like a
portal fantasy
don't really know that much about it i
haven't heard too much about it but it's
coming out soon i want to read it
i keep putting this on my tbrs and i
never get a chance to read it so this
i definitely want to read, the next book
is torture the next book is actually
torturous if you want to see me sweat
which is what you always love let's
let's not lie this is what you love
i can't believe i'm doing this to myself
i genuinely can't believe i'm doing this
to myself
you wanted stakes you'll get stakes
the book that i do not
want to read is The Stand
by Stephen King if you wanted a big book
this is a big f*cking book this book is 1325
pages long
i don't want to read this i don't want
to read this
why did big book come up why that is the
book i don't
i really don't want to read it guys
not in september not when i'm already
doing three readathons
not when i've got another readathon i have
to plan for november this
is make or break and i still have a roll
after this too
this isn't even the end
this this is what you came for let's not
lie this is what you came for
a book i really do not want to read i do
at some point
but not now oh my god no i'm shuffling
for longer i'm sorry
but this cannot go wrong this cannot go
wrong
the sooner i start it the sooner i'll
get it out of the way the sooner I get it
out of the way it's okay
it is okay
i am literally shaking usually i have a
little fast pace
slow-mo thing but look at this look
my hand is actually shaking
right okay
ah oh right it's a king
lower lower than a king five
okay that's that's fine that is fine
five
higher
oh my god oh my god
oh my god
look at the size of that
1300 pages long
oh my god i'm literally shaking it
i'm gonna say lower
oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god
it's a six okay
okay okay
oh my god like oh um
i don't want to rush it i don't want to
rush it
i need to read you i need to read you
positive vibes positive vibes remember
positive vibes positive vibes it works
it works it always works
oh my gosh why am i doing this why am i
doing this and there's one more round to
go hurry up hurry up
right okay this is going to be
uh it's a six so i'm just going to say
higher i'm going to say higher come on please be
higher please be higher come on
please be higher
no
oh no
no no that's not what i wanted
what
mmhmm
yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah
okay so it's time for the sixth and
final, thank f*ck,
roll let's get this over with and it is
a four
it is a four one two three
four lowest f*cking rated
yay so i landed on lowers rated
because nothing says f*ck you like the
last
roll being a book that is most likely
going to be bad
but it's fine it's fine so i went on to
my goodreads and i
i still can't get over the f*cking Stand
so i went onto my goodreads and i
sorted it average rating low to high and
actually the books that were the lowest
rated are books that i do
actually genuinely want to read and i
don't think they're going to be that bad
but i mean i could be proven wrong
so the book with 3.30 on goodreads and
the second lowest
is the Wreck of the Titan by Morgan
Robertson so this um actually came out
in 1896
and it is about a ship called the Titan
that is
sunk by an iceberg in the atlantic ocean
bare in mind this came out 14 years before
Titanic happened so this like predicted
the disaster there's so many
creepy similarities to the disaster that
actually happened with the Titanic
and i really did want to read this like
i do want to read this mainly because i
want to read it and see what the
comparisons are
maybe do a video about that so i'm gonna
put this on my really want to read
side because it's the second lowest on
this and it's really short as well
so i need some solace i need some solace
and then the lowest is The Witches of
Eastwick by
John Updike this one has an average of
3.26
and i love the movie i really do love
the movie and i really do want to read
the book i want to see
how different the movie is to the book
but this has a really bad rating on
goodreads actually
i mean 3.26 isn't a terrible rating by
any means but it's still the lowest out
of all of my owned tbr
so it'll be interesting, i'm putting it
on the don't want to read side because
it's longer
and i after The Stand come on
give me this give me this so i love the
movie
also and comment down below if you knew
about this but there was a tv show
eleven years ago that aired on abc ABC it was
called Eastwick
and it lasted 13 episodes it was
cancelled i loved that show
so much thumbs up if you loved Eastwick
as well
you know a little forgotten gem there
right last play your tbr round i'm so
i'm ready for this to be over like is
this an hour long tbr video i don't know
right the first card is a four
knowing my luck that'll be a f*cking
three um
like please give me this that is a nice
small book i really want to read a small
book come on
four i'm going to say higher oh seven
okay i want to change it
i i totally forgot i should have changed
some cards in the last one
or at least one i should have changed
the card in the last round i keep
forgetting i keep forgetting that rule
uh so let's change the seven for a
queen oh brilliant nice and high okay
so lower than a queen is a f*cking jack
oh wait no that's right that is lower
i genuinely thought i lost there yeah
okay that's fine jack and i'm going to
say lower again but knowing my luck it'll be a
queen or a king,
five oh my gosh this could be the one we
could end on a high
we could end on a high
but could we that is the question knowing
my luck probably not
i mean instinct says higher
my track record says lower i'm going to
say
higher i'm going to say higher
yes yes i get to read the Wreck of the
Titan so this is only 70 pages long so
thank you so there's 15 books here which
isn't too bad it's less than half of
what i
forced myself to read in august and i'm
so excited for most of these
i mean a couple of outliers there
especially The Stand jesus
but overall i'm not too mad that was a
really stressful game though that's the
most stressful
tbr game i've ever played in my life and
again i do
enjoy doing this to myself don't worry
don't worry but i have so much to do
in september honestly i have so much to
do let's hope i could still get to all
of these and because most of these are
on play your tbr right if i don't read
however many books i don't read from
this game then i have to punish myself
with that many danger rounds
in the next tbr video so stay tuned for
that see how many times I punish myself
because most likely i am going to end up
straying off the tbr path like i always
do
i hope you enjoyed the video please
leave a like if you did and subscribe if
you haven't already
let me know in the comments if you're
taking part in any readathons in september
and i'm really excited to see what you
guys are reading and thank you so much
