could these be my new fave books?👀👀 tbr cluedo picks what i read! 🔎 september tbr - ep 37

Hello friends welcome back to my channel and welcome back to TBR cluto it's September's TBR I do not know a lot of f reading in September so we're really going to be scraping the barrel with terms of like me fitting books to prompts in this video and we're probably going to have a lot of books that I did not have set plans to read turn up in this TBR which is always you know lovely fun exciting but I did tell a bit of a lie there but this is my monthly TBR game where there's different rooms I different genres and then you get a prompt and you have to read a book that is that genre and that prompt and yeah I'm really feeling good about my reading though on the whole I had some rough reading months in like June and July I feel like August has been more positive so I'm looking to take that uh atmosphere that Vibe into September the fact that we've only got 4 months of 2024 left that's crazy but I'm also kind of ready for 2024 to be over I feel like it hasn't been a very good year for me so I'm kind of like let's just get through these four months make them as as great as we can and then 2025 will be amazing anyways I don't know why we're talking about that September is just like I also do like September as a month because it's like back to school even though I obviously don't go to school anymore I still think it's a month that almost feels like a new Mini New Year I love new beginnings and so it feels like a little bit of a breath of fresh air so anyways let's get into the TBR shall we for September and see what we're going to be reading okay roll number one person number six which is is yellow over in Thriller let's see oh my goodness let's see how many we are we got four and a five let's go one 2 3 4 five that is number 22 which is a book rated 3 something on good reads okay so rle number one was a thriller that is rated 3 point something on Goodreads and this book I do not have my clamy paws on yet it's on its way um and it is the spare room by Andrea Barts this is the that has quite the low rating I mean like I have on the prompts for TBR CLE rated 3 point something or rated 4 point something and so it's like a little bit lower rated a little bit higher rated this is 3.11 that's low this is quite a low rating but the synopsis intrigues me it's about a neighbor Neighbors meeting it's like a woman and a couple and she meets them and they have a threeome and they decide they're like do you want to live in our spare room and be like you know polyamorous Livin girlfriend whatever but it becomes clear that someone else was in the spare room before her was there there was another one and what do they do with her and etc etc I think this could be campy and fun I just think you know it could be awful or it could be like ridiculous and just a bit like over the top and thus I think I'm more likely to like it but yeah I don't know a ton about Andrea Bart I know she writes quite a few Thrillers but I'm interested to see what I think of this one I'm just hoping for a ridiculous time to be honest with you I'm just hoping it's like for the W crazy B to the wall W I'm just hoping it's crazy and ridiculous and Camp rather than [ __ ] I'm hoping the low rating is from people not getting it and not being down to have fun versus it being bad cuz 3.11 is low but there those books I love that are rated low so we we shall see but yeah I don't know a ton about this one but I'm excited to see what I think of it roll number two person number four which is pink up in horror let's see how many We Roll oh my God we got five and a three let's let's just go one two 3 that is number 28 which is a book with an even number of pages okay interesting roll number two was a horror that has an even number of pages and this is the one I gave to my patrons to vote on they vote on run round or TBR clud every month and that ends up being our book club pick for a month so they're voting for basically what they want to read and I picked some really good options for this one the options that I gave them were I'm remembering them I'm trying to remember them the Gathering by CJ chuda an education and Malice by St Gibson bless your heart by Lindy Ryan what was the last one oh the house that horror built by Christina Henry and the book that ended up winning is an education and Malice by St Gibson I'm going to be honest this is not the one I wanted I wanted the Gathering by CJ cheetah because I feel like there's a higher chance that we'll all enjoy this you know just in terms of like what would be good for the book club I feel like there's a high chance this would be like a good book for everyone when I look at reviews for this I see very mixed reviews My Friends some giving it five stars some saying it's like all show and no substance and giving it two stars I don't mean to make her nervous that much so this is a safic love story dark Academia Cara is there and there's a rivalry but they like they're into each other and it's it's a dark Academia tale of blood secrets and insatiable hunger so Essie Gibson wrote a diary of blood which was the Dracula's wife retelling and so this is again vampiric oh no the note fell out you know it's giving us vampire vies with carilla but yeah the reviews I've seen are either like this is so atmospheric beautiful writing beautiful plot it feels lash it feels Vivid or people saying it's trying to shoot for an aesthetic and all it is the aesthetic and the ending isn't good and like the characters are one-dimensional and so I'm a little bit nervous about this one because uh I feel like we've been on a pretty good run with the book club lately and I want to keep that going and this one I feel like people are going to have very polarizing views on but I think this is going to be a fun one to read in September as Autumn Creeps in you know October would have been the ideal month for a horror but would in September you know can't you got do what T Cleo says but I think this will be a good one to lead us into Autumn so yeah I'm very very very very very intrigued we'll see we'll see what we think of this one I think it could go either way for the book club so I'm a little bit nervous but we'll see roll number three pass number one which is green in fantasy okay good two fantasy tree got a three and a six what can I get to with that 1 2 3 4 5 6 okay that is number eight which is a book above 12,000 ratings on good reads all of our prompts have been to do with numbers so far how's that happened RW number three was a fantasy above 12,000 ratings all of our prompts have been like number based so far because I don't have a Sci-Fi room fantasy also can encompass SciFi and the one that I've gone with is an absolutely remarkable thing by Hank Green this actually has 120,000 rating so 10 times the amount that it needs to get I'm really really excited for this one and this one is about a girl in New York who stumbles across a giant sculpture and films a video of it puts on YouTube and she goes viral so there's like aliens these sculpture aliens dotted around in cities around the world which is like the Sci-Fi element but she's also like dealing with going viral and famous and getting Fame online and like I think people want to you heard about finding this sculpture and Y I have read a lot of John Green in my time but I've never read anything by Han green and I feel like I've heard really really good things about this one I'm expecting a level of intelligence a level of like examination of human nature from this kind of like from Richard Osman you know that kind of like view on what makes humans tick and what makes humans live the life they live but you know I haven't been reading a lot of ya so that could be not as good a point but yeah I'm really really interested to see what I think of this one let me know if you've read it because I'd love to know your opinion okay row number four person number three which is red up in historical let's see how many row got three or five let's go one two three that is number 25 which is a book I've hauled recently RO number four was a historical I've hauled recently and I'm cheating a little bit because I literally hauled this today for a I not cheating I suppose but it's one I don't know a ton about so we're going to read the snapsies together it is the ghost theater by Matt Osman I love this addition I don't know too much about this oh book of the Year by the evening standard The Observer and the times interesting okay on a rooftop in Elizabeth and London two wordss Collide sheay a messenger girl and trainer of hawks who sees the future in a pattern of birds none such is the Dark Star of the city's fabled children's theater scene as famous as royalty yet lowly as a beggar together they create the ghost theater a troop staging magical plays in Lund's Lundy's London's hidden corners as their hallucinatory performances incite Rebellion across the city's outcasts the pair's relationship Sparks and burns against a backdrop of the plague and London in Flames as a growing Fame sweeps them up in the black web Elizabethan Court where Shay and nuch discover that if they fly too high a fool is sure to come interesting so it's like historical fantasy I'm really I love a good like historical setting like Judah Victorian is really my era I love it and this era will always have such a close place in my heart of history that I really like me because this kind of time with like Elizabeth Elizabeth if you don't know if you're not from Elizabeth was like the last of the chudah so she's like not like not the last Elizabeth the first Elizabeth I've heard really good things about this one I've heard that it's very theatrical obviously it's about a theater but like the stuff on the back is like utterly transporting rich and evocative depicted with such a wealth of sensory detail that it blurs the line between memory and FY give it to me now so yeah there's something about this one that I'm feeling pretty good about that I think is going to be good I love anything I mean it reminds me of I've read quite a few historical fantasy to do with theater like performance cuz obiously it was such a big thing back in that time I've read quite a few and there's a few that I didn't love I didn't love theater of Marvels by LM dillsworth is one that's in my brain that I remember so we're a bit touch and go but I think this could be a very interesting read so I'm looking forward to it roll number five person number six which is yellow over in Thriller should we try and do the dagger maybe let's try and do the dagger got three and a five can we do that I think we can let's go one two three and get the dagger which is a random number generator we have to use a random number generator to pick which book we're going to read roll number four was the dagger which is a random number generator which means I have to do a random number and pick that book now I can either do it as that genre or as my whole TBR I'm going to do is my whole TBR today the only caveat with this is if it's a book that I have set reading plans for a vlog then I don't have to read it that's the only caveat that we have and I get to go again now how many books do I have on my TBR right now 291 the less we talk about that the better I have to leave I'm late um I don't want I don't want to acknowledge that right now okay you 1 to 291 are we ready we're going to generate 160 oh my how am I going to count that far back that like that's so far back how am I going to do that right oh no hang on let's let's do it by date added that's how I usually sort it okay that's 80 it seems they grouped in they load in 20s okay so that's 80 that's 100 that's 120 go we're getting back a bit that's 140 okay so the next right if I mess up the next one's going to be 160 whatever the last book is okay okay okay Courtney Summers that's a good result okay okay okay so we have got some girls are by Courtney Summers which is one of the last Courtney Summers backlists I have to read I haven't read I think she has like a zombie book that I haven't read but all the other ones I've read what is this one about so she used to be part of this like most popular girl group but then rumors started about her and her best friend's boyfriend and now she's been cast out and her ex-friends out for Revenge she takes solace in the company of a misfit with a tragic past whom she herself used to bully okay okay okay interesting interesting I love Cony Summers I love Cony Summers I give Cony Summers always at least a fourar but majority have been five who got cracked up to be the project sa oh my God like there's so many so many amazing Courtney Summers books I've read so I'm excited to get into her backlist I believe this is her second book cracked up to be was her debut which I've read this came out in 2009 so it's interesting to read like when I read cracked up to be it still felt very modern so I'm interested to see whether this will feel the same to me but I think that's a good result I think that's a really really good result it's super short as well it's 240 pages so I feel like that's a really good result for the random number generator final roll person number two which is purple can we get to the Rose prompt from there got a three and a four I don't think we can can we I don't know 1 2 3 4 5 6 s oh my God perfect and that is the Rose prompt which means a patreon is going to pick what I read and then our final R TBO was the rose PR which is whenever you join my patreon you get to pick two books off my Tea Bar that you'd like me to read and we pick one and open it and then I have to read it so I'm excited to see oh bloody hell I'm excited to see what we get I just see that on my phone and then we'll see who's picked it I'm just grabbing one as quickly as I can I know I need to get a bigger jar for this guys okay I know I need to I don't know where there's a bigger jar in the house I'll have to try and find one anyways okay let's see what is it oh it's the reappearance of Rachel Price which I have read so let's firstly see who picked that but I've obviously I've read it already so Mel picked it only Mel only Mel picked it but I have read it okay we got to pick another one let me reach down I'm going to try and reach quite far down and get one okay I've got a good one I feel like it's got Good Vibes what could it [Music] be death of a book sellah we've read it oh Lord again a [ __ ] again you guys are going to all tell me mean you need to like clear them out and you need to rewrite them but I can see I mark them on my um on my spreadsheet and still most of them I haven't read who picked death for book seller Emma picked death for book seller Ellen picked death book seller kimy and Rosalie picked it we got to get another one I'm going to go a bit higher higher this time cuz I've been digging quite low for a lot of them okay in the Dreamhouse I have not read in the Dreamhouse okie dokie who picked in the dream housee and then we'll find it Chenise picked it CU this been on my TV chenice is one my first patreons this has been on my TBR for quite some time um Esme picked it Ali picked it Andrea picked it and paa picked it right where is in the dream house where is in the dream house okay I found it only took me 10,000 years we've got in the dream housee by Carmen Maria machard so I have readed her body in other parties which I adored I loved and so I've really been looking forward to getting to this I think this is all my start the year TBR and I think I thought oh I don't think I'm going to read it I don't think I'm going to get round to it I have heard such wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful things about this one so this is like a memoir it traces her relationship with a carismatic but volatile woman so I think it's about like an abusive relationship that she was in but it's all told through the lens and through different angles of like a topic so it says fairy tales Disney villains legal proceedings you know it says SE design tragedy of the commons Cosmic horror the queen and the squid prisoners dilemma like it's all these different lenses it sounds absolutely incredible I think kamir chado I mean I've only read one book but obviously an absolutely incredible incredible author so I'm glad that I'm being forced into reading this one cuz I think it could have taken me a long time it's one that I think I'm going to love I think I'll probably give this five stars or close to it but it's kind of intimidating her books are kind of intimidating but just the idea of this the idea of a topic told through all these different lenses and angles is so fascinating to me I think that's such an interesting way to tell a story or tell something that happened to you you know so I can't wait to read there so thank you everyone who picked it for me but um yeah that's a really really really good choice wow so there we have it everyone that is my September TBR cludo I'm feeling pretty good about the books I'm going to be reading throughout September let me know
