can this tbr get me out of my reading slump? 😴 tbr cluedo picks what i read! 🔎 june tbr - ep 34

Hello friends welcome back to my channel and welcome back to TBR CL this is my TBR game we play monthly you'll get the hang of it if you're new but I think most of you know what we're doing here guys may may may is a reading month absolutely diabolical I don't even I don't want to talk about it can you go get a pean GRE she needs a glasse go it was one of the worst reading months I have ever had I had a few highs I had a few five stars I think I had two or three five stars but just everything else was not good well no I had some few a few good things but for the most part May was not a good reading month so coming into June's TBR C I'm just hoping that I don't get any horrible prompts and like that this can help me have a good reading month in June because I need it let me tell you I just I just need I need something I need the universe to smile on me a little bit cuz I'm going through it a little bit so shall we just get into June's TBR D and see what I'm going to be reading in June and fingers crossed it will be better than what I read in May okay it's time for roll one of June TBR cludo hopefully this is going to save me and my reading fortunes let's see what we got we've got number six which is yellow over in Thriller okay see oh my gosh that rolled off that's number one so we' got one and a three so I am going to go let's just go one that is number seven which is oh something with under 6,000 ratings on good reads so rle number one was a thriller that is under 6,000 ratings and this book we got lucky cuz this is one that I'm reading the next the next book I'm reading he went and looked on good re to how many ratings it has and it has 5,965 ratings so it's just under the amount and it is butter by asako yuzuki so this is I think partly based on a true story and it's about a Chef or a woman who cooks a lot who supposedly killed a lot of men I don't think through her cooking but that she was having relationships with and we're following a journalist who is investigating that and this is one that one of my patrons very kindly gifted me lately this has been a massive bestseller in Japan and I'm very very excited to get into it myself I think it's going to be very weird and very like unsettling and confusing and like you guys are so weird oh my God you guys are so weird I know everything is weird I think it might be a bit it is quite long it's like 500 pages well just under 500 pages which is quite long it says on the back an unput downable breathtaking the original novel about True Crime loneliness and the female appetite in all its tricky transgressive Glory so I think it's also going to be kind of looking at fat phobia or kind of the disordered eating that women are taught to have throughout their life in women's relationship with food so yeah I'm really excited to see what I think of this this has been a new release that came out that I have just been very very intrigued by and I I feel like a lot of the Japanese translated fiction I've been reading lately has been more magical realism contemporary stuff whereas this seems a bit darker and I don't think I've I think I've the only thing that I've read that's a thriller that's Japanese translated is the devotion what's the title The devotional suspect X is that the title I haven't read a lot of Japanese Thrillers so I'm really excited to see what I make of this one okay R number two person number five which is white over in Romance let's see how many We Roll oh my gosh we' got a three and a four so I am just going to go one two three that is number 14 which is a favorite author okay fun next roll was a Romance by a favorite author and this is the one I decided to give to my patrons to vote on so they vote on one round of TBR every month and then that ends up being a bookup pick so not only are they voting for something for me to read they voting for something for them to read and I don't necessarily have four romance authors who categorize favorite authors because I have to have three five stars on them and also have books that I haven't read do you know what I mean they're on my TBR so I chose uh four authors who I have given a five star before so we've got man Sword Park by Jane Austin Beach read by Emily Henry just for the summer by Abby Jimenez or maybe in another life by Taylor Jenkins Reed and I'm going to be honest I wasn't expecting the one that won to win but I think I probably should have done so the winner was Beach read by Emily Henry I thought for some reason just for the summer would win but I think some people thought I don't think it's the third in the Part of Your World Series right I don't think it has any connection to the charact correct me if I'm wrong if you read it but part of your world and uh yours truly are related to another but I don't but on good read it says it is anyways I thought that would win because it was on new release yeah be treed by Emily Henry what is I always get my Emily Henry synopses missed up uh so we've got jenry is a hopeless romantic who narrates her life like she's a lead in a Blockbuster movie Gus is a serious litery type who thinks true love is a fairy tale but genuine Gus have more in common than you both think they're both broke they have crippling writers book and they need to write bestsellers before some ends oh this is the one where they swap genres is this one that has a different ending in the US that would make an interesting book club discussion cuz how do we discuss the ending I'm a little bit concerned I need to look that I need to do well I need to read the book first then do some research into it but yeah this is the one where I think she's romance author and he's like a literary fiction author all the other way around and they swap genres but yeah I read happy place by Emily Henry earli this year and I really really enjoyed it so I'm excited to get into more of Emily Henry's back list because I know she's like everyone's fave you know she doesn't quite get me like Alie Haywood gets me but that's okay you know and Abby herenz I do think I prefer them I can objectively see that this well I've only read one book but I can objectively see that Emily Henry's writing appeals to more people but there's just something about the way those two authors write that I adore but I can see that this is maybe better quality but I just love Ally you know anyways we're going to be reading this together so if you want to join us in reading this the link to join my patreon is always down below we've also got on my patreon a readathon running throughout June called bathon which I'll just mention here because I didn't create it my patrons my mods uh created this whole readathon that we're doing in June it is so detailed there's Bingo cards there's licenses there's like so many layers everyone on the has made like spooky their names like spooky puns on their name it is truly amazing I cannot claim any any responsibility for making this my mods uh and some of the patrons have done an absolutely amazing job of this and we're all having so much fun participating it in June so yeah the link to join the patreon is down below if you're interested there will be a discussion live show for this and a reading Vlog and there's discussion sections on the Discord so yeah I'm excited to get more into my Emily Henry era okie dokie role number three person number one which is green that's on that it's been locked by R rolling one of the rolling one of the DI that's on that square let's see how many roll we got three and a two oh perfect let's just go one two and get the rose prompt I just knocked something over roll number three was the rose prompt which is again linked to the patron there's a lot of Patron talking here sorry about it but when when you join my Patron you get to pick two books off of my physical TBR that you want me to read and it goes into this I need to get a new one a bigger one I know but I'm strapped for space here guys as we know got no space so yeah it goes into here and I pick one and I read it so oh my God this is like I can't get any I'm going to try and get one near the bottom okay I've got one I'm like trying to pull it out with me we're going to have some casualties that fall on the floor probably but it's a risk I'm wanting to take okay let's see what it is actually I didn't oh no I spilled one one man down okay let's see what this is shall we it's so far down it might be one I've already read but I don't know the push I don't even own that she doesn't even go here I think I have the audio book for it which is why it's been P picked who's picked the push Rosie Rosie has picked the push well I'm going to be reading the push I need to get my hands on the physical coffee there was I used to let people I do have it as an Audi book I used to let people pick like from my audiobook list as well so that's on there the push isn't this the one okay let's look at this together yeah I have been really intrigued by this oh I'm actually really excited for this one a t page turning psychological drama about the making and breaking of a family and a woman whose experience of motherhood is nothing at all for what she hoped for and everything she feared so I think it's a young woman who's just had a baby comes convinced something is wrong with her daughter or is it all in her head then their son is born and she a blissful connection she always imagined but even V oh so she thinks something's wrong with her daughter oh [ __ ] what have people here I'm friends with right oh [ __ ] oh [ __ ] oh my God oh my God oh my God oh my God Chandler Gabby kaat all giv it five stars oh my God so Rosie you have single-handedly made me read the pesh so congratulations I'm actually excited for that one I think that's the kind of Thriller that was super popular when it came out and I kind of missed the boat but I'm really excited to read that and see what I think of it okay fun what a good choice okay I feel like we're doing okay so roll number four which is eight which is blue over in contemporary let's see how many We Roll we got a five or a six what can I get to in contemporary with a five or a six 1 2 3 4 five okay that is number 23 which is a book rated 4 point something on good reads R number four was a contemporary that is rated 4 point something on good reads and we've got another book that I missed the boat with somehow when it came out and I'm now going to be reading and it is my dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell this is so highly recommended from people who have read it I think we're following a woman who was in a relationship with her English teacher when she was 15 and he was in his 30s and they had a relationship and now allegations come out of him sexually abusing other students and she is horrified because she believes they were in love they were in love with each other and I think it's about her unpacking the abuse that she suffered and I think is going to be tackling that I've heard that this is an incredibly difficult but very impactful read again it's a book that was super popular it came out I think in like 2020 and it's just taken me so long to get to it I bet you can guess what I'm reading this for I've just heard that this is really in terms of its subject matter there's been other books that have tackled this but from what I've heard this is this does the best job of handling it with sensitivity with emotion with care I don't want to say I'm excited read it again when of these books about these s topics I don't be like oh my God I'm sor excited but like I'm looking forward to reading what has supposedly been a book that a lot of people have enjoyed roll number five we've got person number one again which is green over in fantasy let's see how many we we've got a two or a two let's just go oh no I thought that was two that was three what can I get to with that oh I think I can get to that one so 1 2 3 four that is number 17 which is oh my God I think this is one of my hardest proms this is a book with multiple audio book narrators okay I'll have to do some research for that one next is a fantasy with multiple audio book narrators which I guess means I have to listen to the audiobook although I do think I have this on everand but I checked on Audible I went through all my fantasy owned books um all the more recent ones I've that I've bought uh to see and not many of them had multiple AUD bators I had a few other choices but they weren't books I was looking forward to as much this one has three audio book narrators according to Audible and it is keeper of Enchanted rooms by Charlie M Holberg this is a cozy fantasy from my understanding magic has made itself at home is set in Rhode Island in 1846 so it's historical as well which I love Ah that's history I think it's about this guy who like ends up locked in this magical home and then we have another character from the Boston Institute for the keeper of Enchanted rooms who wants to make him make this house his friend I'm really looking forward to this one I've heard good things about this author's other stuff I think they had one uh nominated in Romany which is interesting last year but this is the one I think is most likely to be my kind of thing with its kind of cozy fantasy-esque uh stuff I wasn't planning on reading this don't know I'm going to read it but it does have three AUD narrators it was a it was a challenge to find a book with multiple audiobook narrators this is I don't get this prompt a lot and I'm lucky for that imagine if I got that every week that'd be absolutely diabolical so please let me know what you thought this one I'm very much looking forward to sinking my teeth into and then our final roll is number two which is purple over a nonfiction let's see how many We Roll we got three and a two I'm just going to go one two and that is oh 30 which is a wild card okay I have no idea what I'm going to pick for my wild card because I have like no books that I have to read this month basically so it's actually not that helpful to get the wild card this is a wasted wild card but I shall um I shall Endeavor to pick something and then finally we have the wild card and like I said I actually most of my Vlogs this month I don't know what I'm reading for I've got a few challenge ones I got a few where I'm still finalizing the TBR for them so usually when I get the wild card I'm like great I have so many books that I need to read for Vlogs I can fit into here I don't I don't this month so this going get her a good wake up car wake up karma is a [ __ ] I can tell you that so I've picked a book that I'm very excited for but it's the kind of book that I'm so excited for I push off out of fear I I get that a lot like the books I'm really excited for I almost have to make myself read them I almost don't want to because there's so much pressure I'm currently I'm going about to start with butter a vlog where this has a chance I say this has like a 10% chance of being picked and it's out of my hands yeah so this is like it has a chance of being picked in one Vlog and then there's a few other Vlogs I can read it in if we're unsuccessful with that and that is how to solve your own Murder By Christen perin I've been putting it off it's time to read it we're following I've spoken about this 20,000 times so let's just get through it quickly following a woman who's told it a fair you're going to get murdered and so she spends the rest of her life putting together a dossier of everyone in her life why they might want to murder her and trying to stop herself from being murdered guess what gir's murdered C's murdered but it's when she's an old woman and her great niece comes to the house to try and figure out what happened I a few people that I very much look up to in terms of their reading have some ofar reading taste have read this and enjoyed it so I'm really really looking forward to this one it is a debut I'm not expecting it to be like you know Thursday Mur club levels of murder mystery but I do think it is going to be fun and I think it's going to be very like I don't know it gives me Vibes of like knives outy like kind of funny murder mystery with like clever with Clues and like I don't know that kind of like vibe that old house vibe that it's peling up on so yeah oh it is blurred by JM Hall the author of a spoonful of murder though oh and the author of death and cants oh two of my least favorite met Mysteries [ __ ] oh dear okay we'll see how that goes anyways I'm very excited to read it so hopefully I will get to it at some point this month there we have it everyone that is my June TBR plus the push which I need to
