I'm filming another bookhaul. I feel like the last one is pretty recent, and it is
considering the fact that I never make bookhaul videos
but I recently went to Paris, as you might have seen in my most recent vlog, several times
too many times
so I went bookshopping
I repeat this every time I film a bookhaul, but I don't really make this type of videos because I don't usually buy this many books
without reading them (why does it feel like I am finding myself excuses?)
most of the time, the books I buy are books I read right away so it doesn't feel essential to me because I'll talk about these books in my wrap ups
but now that I read mostly in English and there are no English bookstores near me
I knew going to Paris that I was going to buy books in every English bookstores
and on top of that, around april/may I had a tbr related issue
I had no books to read anymore so I ordered a bunch of books online to refill my tbr
because I realized that it was after all pretty convenient to have a tbr
and to have a choice of books to read, especially during a pandemic
so recently i decided that I liked the idea of a full tbr
so i have these books that I ordered and I showed you in my latest bookhaul
and there a some more that I bought some time ago now
around may, that I bought on Vinted, because if you didn't know there are a lot of books on Vinted
don't go on there too much because if you buy everything there won't be anything left for me :b
so Im also going to show you the books I bought on Vinted but it was a while ago, like may or june
two books were gifted to me so I'll start with these
so first, Agathe over at Brunelle gifted this one to me, we saw each other in paris if you didn't see in my vlog, it was so fun
she gave me this one because she reads a lot of poetry, especially modern poetry
and she knows I struggle to read poetry, I just really can't put myself to enjoy it
so she wanted to offer me a modern poetry book
BUT I had to have ONLY ONE poetry book in my bookshelf, well on my shelf on top of my bed, anyway
I had to have only ONE and it had to be this...
so she gifted me milk and honey by rupi kaur
thank you so much Agathe
it's so cute <3
ow I didn't see this
so as I was with lilja and lilja also likes poetry
and she didn't read this
I gave Lilja the one I already had and kept the one Agthe gave me
I've never read it, I bought it summer 2017 in the usa
but now that Agathe bought it for me I feel obligated to read it so it will finally force me to read poetry
I just don't want to be triggered because I know that it tackles triggering subjects
thank you so much agathe <3
the same day, lilja also gifted me a book
she talked a lot about it, it's her fav from middle school
It's Vango written by Timothée De Fombelle
we talked about it quite a lot because the cover was very appealing to me
I heard a lot of good thing on the author's writing
she made me want to read it so she bought it for me
thank you lilja, so I read it and I'll give you my review in my next wrap up
I love this cover, you are both so cute <3
and now I'm going to show you the books I bought on vinted, if I ever can get them
so first, with Agathe
we started the raven boys series
I talked about the first one in a wrap up, I don't remember which one but I'll put in in the little "i" if I remember to do it
on vinted I found, in the same edition I have the first one, because I also bought it on vinted
it arrived completely ruined, the person that sold it to me must have dive it 6 time in her pool, because it's all crinckled
and someone was selling these on vinted, I love this edition
this is one of the series that I'll display in the right side in my bookshelf, because I know that it disturbs you that my books are "upside down"
so I found the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th one
there is still the one that was released in 2020 or 2019 that I'll buy in hardback
I can't wait to continue to read these books with agathe
if I can wait on her because I loved the first one so much that I don't know if I can wait to continue
so the second one is called "the dream thieves"
the 3rd one is called "blue lilly lilly blue"
and the 4rt one is "the raven king"
and I love this one so much, it's so pretty, it's green, I love green
so I found these ones on vinted, I don't remember the exact price but it was really cheap
and I also found, well it wasn't really me, "I wish you all the best" by mason deaver
I made a video with Elisa where we sent each other a book and I sent this one to her
I went to the usa last summer and since then...
I saw it in bookstores and I wanted to read it so bad
but I didn't buy it and I think about it since summer 2019
and it was such big regret that I didn't get it
I sent it to Elisa to somewhat satisfy me, and after that Agathe also bought and read it
so I couldn't bear it anymore, until elisa sent me one day a text telling me she found it on vinted
it was really cheap, it was around 8€ in hardback
I didn't think about it twice, I just bought it, I still haven't read it yet
I take me sweet time and wait to be in the right mood to really enjoy it and not force myself like I have the tendency to do too frequently
It's the story of ben who is non-binary and who is kicked out of his house by his parents after telling them about being non-binary
and... yeah
I don't know if it's an own voice's, I don't know if Mason deaver is non-binary
it's like asexuality, these are representations we don't see enough of
I'm really looking forward to read it because I know I'm going to love it
two you've already seen, so ACOMAF of which I already gave you my review
and ACOWAR by Sarah J Maas
I bought these for around 17€ when for both when only one new costs 19€ and this gorgeous hardback copy
there's still the 3.5 novella after these ones that is really small
and the hardback copy costs about 18€, at the moment at least
so I think I'll buy the paperback copy for this one because it bothers me to buy a 100pages book for 18€
but I'm really so happy that I found them on vinted
because, as I told you in my last book haul, I was fustrated to have bought the first one in hardback and have to buy the other one also in harback
but it's okay now because I bought them second hand on vinted for cheaper
and then my last vinted purchase that I received some days ago is An Ember In The Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
one of my fav book ever
the book I talk about in absolutely every one of my videos
If ever you don't know, I don't think I already announced it on my channel
with Juliette over at ino_idea on instagram and Ju on ytb
we are hosting a readalong happening in september, october and november to read the first 3 books in this series because it's one of our fav
because the last one comes out on the 1st of december or the 10th, it depends on the edition
so we want to reread the first 3 books before the release of the 4th one
so we'll read teh 1st one in september, teh 2nd in october and the 3rd in november
I read these for the first time in french so I wanted to reread them in english
so I have the first one in the edition I wanted
I also found the 2nd one on vinted that I am going to buy soon
and you'll see the 3rd one later in the video, so I'll have the 3 books in different editions
so you can join us if you want to, especially if you haven't read them yet because they deserve it
and follow us on instagram for more infos because it's mostly going to take place on there
and now let's move on to the books I've bought in Paris
I believe these are the last ones I've bought.. but anyway
Lilja and I went to Shakespeare & Co and before we went to others
but there I bought two classics that I am very eager to read
these are the editions I was looking for and I knew they had it there
so I took Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte because i was supposed to buddy read it with lilja but I didn't...
I've let her read it without me, I'm sorry, I'm really not a reliable friend
but she really liked it and it gives me such an automnal vibe
so it's in my fall tbr because I'd really like to get to it this fall
it has a special feeling to it
I went to see the movie with my middle school and I loved it
so I think I might love it because I've read Pride and Prejudice last fall and really enjoyed it
and in the same edition but not collection, I also bought persuasion by jane austen
I was especially looking for Emma by jane austen
but they didn't have it so I looked at this one and read the blurb
and it said
attention please, ignore my accent
and I found it so beautiful that I had to read it, and on top of that it is relatively small
if you put is beside Jane eyre you can see the size difference
ugh it's all falling appart
the day before that, llja and I went to Galigagni?? I don't know
I bought two books there, I hope I am not forgetting any, I might
I was currently reading we were liars on ebook
so when I saw it I thought "why not buy the physical copy"
even though english bookstores in france have that tendency to high up their price quite a bit
but it's always better to buy books to them instead of ordering on bookdepo
I reviewed it in my last wrap up
they also had a very large expense of sea by tahereh mafi
which was our summer pick for the bookclub
so I've read it for the bookclub, the live is available on my channel if you want to watch it
as always with these lives, even though it's only our second one
if you're feeling intimidated to watch it because it lasts 2H30
don't worry, we talk about the book during only maybe 40min and then we talk about anything and everything
it becomes completely random then
after that, as it's on the same street, we went to WHSmith
I only bought solitaire by alice oseman
I can't seem to remember if heartstopper is based on salitaire or I was born for this...
I asks this every day to elisa
and I can't put myself to remember it
but if i remember correctly heartstopper is based on solitaire
I have to admit that it intimidates me a lil bit because I'm afraid to be triggered
I'll read it when I'll feel ready and sain enough in my brain to read it
then we went to... I don't remember if it was with agathe or with lilja that I bought these...
with the both of them I went to Gibert Joseph
They have a small, well hidden ya english section
I took with me the second book in the infernal devices by cassandra calre
this is the one I am the most looking forward to read in this series because I LOVED the first one
I like to always have a shadowhunter book ahead of me
one I know I can always turn to, because these are king of my "safe place" reads this year
and I also got, I talked about it quite recently
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell since it's the book I absolutely want to read during the time I'll start uni
which is in september
it will be by "next" read, right now I am reading the hunger games, I read them back to back
we follow a fangirl called cat I believe
who starts college and whose relationship with her twin starts to deteriorate because they take different paths
and she writes a fanfiction on the internet that becomes famous
I really don't have a lot of expectations going into this one
so i bought it for 6,80€ in second hand
then with lilja, we discovered the best bookshop ever, at Brian's
we fell in love
it's called the abbey bookshop, it's right next to shakespeare &co, and if you ever go there, go to the abbey bookshop before
we all would rather support brian than rude people over at shakespeare&co, I am pretty mad at them right now
we met the man the most wholesome ever, we went out tears in our eyes because we were so moved by how kind he was
it's kind of a second hand bookshop, you know these where all the books are piled up and you can barely walk
on top of all the shelves, hidden, I found this one.. wait... I'm so proud of it
so the 3rd one in the ember in the ashes series in this uk hardback edition
these are almost nowhere to be found
but here I go, I found it, I didn't think twice about it, I bought it for 18,95€
not pricy for something nowhere to be found
it's the right price and anyway it was brian so I would've bought him anything
I am so happy to have found it, it's so pretty, it's green, my fav color
it's my new obsession to have the series I like in different editions, I did this also with nevernight
it doesn't bother me, I find it cool
my feet is asleep...
so this one will be read in november
I went to elisa's city and there is an english bookshop there
and at that time we just made a hunger games marathon in my theater because it's one of my fav movies of all time since I am 9
but I had never read the books
so when we went out of the cinema my only thought in mind was to read the books
and in this bookshop, the owner had the box set
it was only 30€ for 3 books
I was currently reading them and I really wanted to be able to annotate them
I wanted to have my babies with me, to read them in paper form
I've read the first one and I started the second one yesterday
I really hesitated to buy it
we left the bookshop saying "we'll come back"
"I have to think about it"
it's not like if I bought a bowset of books of which I don't care about, the hunger games are really dear to my heart to it was worth it
to have the box...
I am so clumsy
so here you go friends these are all the books I had to talk about, I hope you liked it at least a little bit
on that note
*kiss* and see you in the next one
