I'VE STARTED A TBR GAME?? - TBR CLUEDO #1 🔎 introduction to the board and picking my august tbr!

so so something is on foot hello everyone my name is megan welcome if you're new here and today we're starting something very exciting we are starting i am starting finally a tbr game so excited so this is tbr cluedo hence the outfit if you know me and you watch my channel a lot you'll know that i love murder mystery so i have designed a tbr game inspired by pluto inspired by supercludo specifically and i love the board so much i'm obsessed with it i'm so happy with how it's turned out got the stage presence i've got the voice i've got the looks and i just have everything and i know i have it's been so hard to keep this a secret from you guys when i've been planning it and making it and everything but i just love it i just love it so so much and i'm so excited to play this with you guys let me take the hat off now we've had enough of that i have wanted to make a tbr game for like a year basically full credit and inspiration to all of the tbr queens who have come before me i'm sure you'll love watching tbr games and yeah i'm just really really excited now i'm gonna let you guys know the rules for the tbr game i will listen to chapters down below so if you don't care about the rules you can skip it and just you want to learn how it goes as you go along you can do that but um yeah let's get into the rules okay so obviously each of these different rooms correspond to a different genre so we've got horror magical realism which can also include anything like surrealism or fabulism we've got fantasy which will also include sci-fi because we haven't got a sci-fi room we've got romance contemporary thriller non-fiction historical and mystery first i'll roll an eight-sided dice and this will pick which person i move so there's all these like kludo people dotted around the board and they've each got a number assigned to them and this dice will determine which person i moved and then we'll roll two six sided dice and this determines how many steps i move and i can either use the total of these two or i can pick the sum of one of them i have to land on either a book or a weapon for the role to count so on each of these books there's a number on the back and this corresponds to a prompt so i then have to read a book that fits that prompt and is the genre of the room that it's in if i roll double on these two dies i can move that amount and then roll again if i want to the weapons that you might see dotted around are super clues so these are a bit different they're not exactly prompt the dagger is a random number generator the magnifying glass is a book recommended by the viewer the rose is something secret that i can't tell you about yet well we'll just have to wait and see you are so inquisitive my darling so we just won't pick that in this month's round but i reckon by next month that will be ready to you guys to know about the candlestick is a phone a friend so i will facetime another booktuber and they will pick a book for me the glasses are to scroll on instagram until i see a book that i own and i have to read that book and the wand is a book that i need to read for a themed reading vlog i'm doing that month the weapons are not constrained by the genre so like although phone a friend is a mystery they don't have to pick a mystery they can pick whatever they want the staircases dotted around here will allow me to move to different rooms so if i go through a staircase i can move to any different room for punishments i haven't quite figured out how this is going to work yet because i haven't played it yet but i think if there are three roles that i can't land on a prompt on so say i'm here and i roll a two and i can't get to a prompt in that time if there's three of those i have to add on a book or roll now that may be too many it may change to two or one um equals a punishment but we'll just see as we go along and also if i don't finish my tbr in the month for the next month i will take a punishment as well so yeah it's the rules can we just talk about how cute the little books are tom and my boyfriend made them for me actually they're so cute i just love everything about this game how it all looks like all the weapons he made them as well i just think it all looks so amazing let's get into the rolls i'm gonna do six rolls i typically at the moment have been reading anywhere between like five to ten books a month so i feel like six is a good manageable number obviously we may end up getting punishments and that will add the total so i feel like starting with six is a good number yeah let's get into the first roll oh my god i am so nervous i am so nervous okay roll one first we roll the eight-sided dice five so that is white oh my god it's gotta get a sip of water now we roll the six side oh my god that was whoops a five and a five we've got two five so we've got a double in terms of genres i need to read this month i've got some contemporaries some thrillers can i make it one two three but of course i can because i can roll again so let's let's go towards thriller i think one two three four five six seven eight nine ten and then we roll again a three and a three another double okay well i'm not gonna roll again i don't think one two three four five six and get that one which is number 28 which is a book you've never seen on booktube okay so roll one landed in the thriller room and the prompt was a book that you haven't heard anyone speak about on booktube and this was hard actually because i think i get a lot of my like thriller recommendations from booktube but the one i've chosen i think it's because it's new i just haven't really had anyone have a chance to speak about it yet but i didn't really hear anyone speak about it in like the 2021 anticipated releases either and it is hairpin bridge by taylor adam so taylor adams is the author of no exit which is a super popular thriller here on booktube loads people love it i absolutely loved it it was a five star for me so i am super excited to get to this this month this is a new release the author's next book and all i know about this is that this girl's sister three months ago um drove off hairpin bridge to her death leaving behind a vague suicide note and her sister is convinced that she was murdered and she goes to the area and tries to get answers out of the highway policeman but he is super like not cooperative he's lying and i think it's kind of similar a similar cat and mouse game like no exit was i'm hoping for tension like no exit i've never felt that sick reading a book in my life this is disgusting i like it though no book has ever made me feel that tense and i feel like taylor adams just does like really tense high paced thrillers as well is what i'm hoping so i am so excited to get to his new release and yeah oh i'm so nervous but i hope i hope it's gonna be great okay time for roll two color one which is green okay that is good because i've got some fantasy i would like to read i think okay let's roll this we've got six okay let's see um where can i go one two three four five six okay let's go there that is number 24 which is a book over 400 pages oh no [Music] roll two i was already not happy with so we landed in fantasy and the prompt was a book over 400 pages and when you don't have because obviously many of you know i do themed reading vlogs so i've already got like a kind of tbr for this month in a way and i didn't have a fantasy of a 400 pages plan in any of those videos so now i'm like huh well i've got to take on something extra here but i did find one that i really want to read and have been super excited for and that is project hail mary by andy weir this is quite long like it's not just over 400 pages it is about 40 476 pages this book and this is by the author of the martian i have heard so many good things about this people have been like super duper excited for it and the reviews i've seen coming in have been like five stars five stars five stars five stars like i've heard people saying it's just as good as the martian like that's that's high praise i love the martian i think i've read that like two times loved the film all i know about this is very similar to the martian this guy wakes up he is the sole survivor on a desperate last chance mission so he's like surrounded by his dead crewmates he can't really remember what he's there for what he's supposed to be doing yeah i'm just excited for like a bit of high paced crazy sci-fi i just think andy weir is a great sci-fi writer so i'm so excited to get to this okay roll three is oh we've got green again okay ruin fantasy again the fantasy book i need to read for a video i don't i think it's like 380 pages so i don't think it would have been what i just picked so do we try again let's see what we roll okay oh my god that was a two sorry i just flipped it so that is three uh where can i go one two three one two three which of those do i go for let's go here one two three which is that's number six i think something with white on the cover a book with white on the cover okay roll three was another fantasy this time with something white on the cover with some white on the cover now this one is the book that i had planned in a tbr that i there isn't over 400 pages it's like 380. interestingly both the fantasy picks this month are sci-fi because that is technically i should have had that room say fantasy sci-fi but by the time i realized that uh it already been made so it was too late but it is fantasy sci-fi that room and i don't read a lot of sci-fi i don't think i've even read any sci-fi this year so the fact that we're gonna be reading two this month is pretty crazy but it is the weight of the stars by k ankram so i am so excited to read this if that that counts as white on the cover right the font is all white so i think and like the picture behind the sound waves is black and white so we're counting it wishful thinking yeah you're a dreamer you dream a lot no not really so i read the wicked king by kate nkrum and i loved it and this is for a secret reading vlog that i'm doing i don't know too much about it i just know that it's k ankhram so it's going to be told in this kind of like is it epistlery no what is this called no that's a bliss there is another word you [ __ ] are stupid where it's like chapters only like a page two pages basically so it's a super fast pace these kind of books you can basically read in one sitting and i know it's about this girl who like dreams of traveling to space and about radio signals hence the sound waves on the edge and on the cover and i'm just so excited to read some more k n chrome i absolutely loved the wicker king so i am super excited to get to this this month okay time for roll four i'm nervous two where is that purple where is purple oh here okay there's a lot of mysteries i would like to read this month so let's see what we get oh my gosh i'm so nervous we've got a three and a four okay one two three four five six seven okay let's go there that is number 19 which is a book i have hauled recently oh my god that is perfect that is perfect so roll four we landed in the mystery room and the prompt was a book that i have hauled recently which was perfect because i have quite a few mysteries that i have hauled recently like i had like four i could have chosen from that i haven't even shown you yet i've got a book haul coming out next week this is a little sneak peek but it was hard to choose one of them because there's so many that i want to read but i have ended up choosing the one i think i'm most excited for and it is ace of spades by farida a bk midday this i i feel like today the future starts so it's a good day i'm excited everyone everyone who's been reading this has been giving it five stars and speaking about how bonkers the ending is and i'm just so excited it's like set at this private academy it's like gossip girl inspired so like these two our two main characters devon and chiamaka um are having like their secrets leaked to the rest of the school by this like gossipy girl character and i'm just so excited i am just so excited i literally cannot wait to read this everyone has just been rating it so so highly it's been getting so much hype and i just love a good mystery you guys you guys i just love a good mystery you know me i feel like i'm starting to find more mysteries i feel like every day every day i wake up and i'm like i found a new mistake what mommy is sorry every day i wake up i'm like thank you for the mysteries but yeah the fact that this is like a mystery that everyone is reading and writing so highly you just know i've got to read it so i am so excited this is like probably the number one book that i was hoping to fit on this tbr it's not even for a set themed reading vlog i'm just going to read it hopefully on holiday i'm going on holiday in like a week or so so i think i'm gonna read it then roll five is two again oh my gosh okay okay okay okay okay four or i could do a one i can't get anywhere in one i could do three one two three one two three four i don't know what to do let's go one two three which is what is that sixteen four or more words in the title a mystery with four or more words in the title okay oh that's kind of hard i can't think of anything right now okay then roll five we were still in the mystery room and the prompt was a book with four or more words in the title and this was really hard i went and i looked on my mystery shelf on goodreads and there wasn't many there wasn't many to choose from usually i feel like mystery turtles like short and snappy like two or three words but i have chosen in the market for murder by t e kinsey this is a cozy murder mystery series set like in the 1900s early 1900s um in england it's like cosy english countryside where i read the first one in this series and this is the second one i'm super excited to get to this audiobook they're fairly sure i think it's only like maybe seven hours the audiobook which isn't too long i don't actually know what this one's about but it's basically this kind of society woman and her maid server and like her number one made companion and they solve murder mysteries together in quaint english towns i love it it's like my favorite thing to listen to as an audiobook i find those kind of books really suit audiobooks because i don't have to like pay a hundred percent attention but it's super i love the atmosphere and i just love the the simple mysteriousness of it all so i'm really excited to continue on that series because i read the first one a couple months ago and they're just like super easy audiobooks for me to listen to okay and then our last roll is this oh eight who is eight blue oh okay blue's over here right let's see what we get oh oh wow okay okay okay okay okay we've got a six or a five i think i'm going to go into like the magical realism e section because i think there's quite a few i want to read one two three four five i think i want the wand six seven eight nine ten eleven okay we've got a one which is a book i need to read for a themed reading vlog it doesn't have to be magical realism but i think i will probably choose something along those lines and then the last row was a wand which is a book i need to read for a themed reading vlog i i'll try not to like abuse the wand because it does make my life easier but we were just near it that was just what we were near that day then obviously the weapons don't have to fit the genre of the room that they're in but this time it actually is so the magical realism room as i said also encompasses things like fabulism surrealism you know all of those kind of like weird wacky books it's kind of the weird book room in case you haven't noticed i'm weird i'm a weirdo i have chosen summer of salt by katrina leno so this is what i've been super excited to get to it was on my summer tbr because of the name i literally just can't wait to read this as many of you know i absolutely loved you must not miss by katrina leno where is she here she is yeah i absolutely loved you must not miss so i'm hoping for similar weird uncomfortable strange vibes all i know about this is that it's like set on this island by the sea and there's strange magical things going on that's basically all i know but i am super excited to read it i loved love loved katrina leno's other book and so i am so excited to get to this one so there we go that is our first tbr cluedo tbr so it's obviously this plus the audiobook for in the market for murder i counted it and it's just over 2 000 pages which isn't too bad obviously we have got project tail mary which is like 470 pages and ace of spades is like 440 pages but i think this is all totally doable for me and these are books i've been so excited to read i'm like absolutely i'm just i just can't wait to read all of these these are we don't really have any duds you know i mean we haven't had any books that i've been forced to read because of a prompt and i don't want to read it so yeah i am just so so excited to read all of these let me know if you have read any of these before and what you think of them and i'm just going to hold the board up one more time because i just love it so much i hope you enjoyed tbr cluda i i actually want to get married to this board i just love it so much it's like my favorite thing in the world i literally want to kiss it but i don't want to get makeup on it so yeah i hope you enjoyed tbr cluedo it's going to be obviously a monthly feature on my channel i'm so happy i am finally doing a tbr game like i said i'm literally going to do it forever like i've literally wanted to do a tbr game forever but i wanted to have a board like as amazing as this i hope tbr kudo makes sense i think i am going to change the rule for how we get a punishment i think i'm going to change that to like either two or one roles if i can't reach a prompt that will add a book to my tbr let me know if you think it should be two or one because i think three will just never happen so let me know if you think it should be two or one and yeah thank you so much for watching i will see you very soon in another video bye [Music] you
