TBR CLUEDO PICKS WHAT I READ 🔎 january tbr - tbr cluedo episode #6

it's a new year new me and i'm ready to see what books i'm gonna be reading to start off this year [Music] hey everyone how are you i just realized i haven't properly said happy 2022 teaser happy 2022 i hope it's going all right for you so far and welcome to the january edition of tbr clueless i always say it like that i just get so excited the light is going in and out in and out today so apologies for any light changes that we have but hello so if you don't know tbr kudo is my tbr game that i play every single month themed off of super cludo nothing has changed it's staying the same all the rules are the same so i'll leave the link down below to the playlist where you can watch the first episode that has all the different rules in it if you don't know anything about it yet let's just get straight into it so december's tbr was [Music] [Applause] i don't know why i thought that would work like throwing them in the air i just thought throwing them they'd come back in the same order anyway it was these five books plus the audiobook for the novella christmas at the grange i have read these four and christmas at the grange midnight everwood was our book club pick for december over on my patreon we had to push the live show back to this weekend to give those in the us a bit more time to get their hands on it because a little bit harder for them to get their hands on it so i've started it i'm about 50 pages in so no punishments but by the time this goes up anyway i would have finished it because our live show for the book club is happening right after this premieres so also if you can hear those with banging around my house today we've got loads of work going on this is my only time to film so we have no choice anyway i think that is all of our housekeeping for this month so let's just get into the first roll of tpr kudo for the new year oh my god how exciting okay time for roll one person number two which is purple so in the mystery and how many are we gonna roll whoa a five or a one okay one two [Music] three four five okay which is number 16 which is a mystery with four or more words in the title okay so roll one was a mystery with four or more words in the title and for this i have chosen to read as good as dead by holly jackson i wanted this to be my first book i read this year anyway so we're lucky that it fits into the tbr but i basically haven't read anything that was first off this year i haven't finished a book yet and i've gotta finish midnight in everwood because it is our book club pick so i've read the first like 60 pages of this but that's all i've read like i'm not like into working like that like i can do like social media every now and then but like i don't want to like go nine to five chap i'll come back to it in the next week or so but this is basically the final installment to one of my favorite mystery series ever a good girls guide to murder if you watched my recent um best books of 2021 video you'll know it was on there i'm scared for this one because people have said it goes down a very different route than the first two books we're following pip who's kind of this like teenage detective in her local town and by this book sister's been through a lot of [ __ ] in book one i was like oh my god i can so relate to pip and now i'm like girl you've gone down a different route in life than i did like i can't really relate to where you're at at this point in your life so she's been through a lot in the kind of various cases she's tried to uncover she's seen a lot of horrible things and in this one i believe she has a stalker and the kind of mystery is trying to figure out who her stalker is so i'm very excited to read it very excited to finish off one of my favorite series i'm hoping it's still going to be like a 4.5 star like the other two books were for me but i'm nervous because everyone has said it goes down a complete different route so i don't know what to expect but we're gonna hope for good things okay time for roll number two person number one which is green a five and a five okay let's just use i could because i brought a double i could move and then roll again but i think i'm just gonna pick something in this room um so let's see let's just go one two three four five that was easy that is number 13 which is a tbr veteran okay so roll two was a fantasy that is a tbr veteran and for this can you guess what i picked i'm finally gonna read king of crows by libba brace you've got to be [ __ ] me so i have promised to read this many times it was in a tbr for tbr cleaner a couple months ago there's been many reading vlogs where i stay at the start i'm gonna read this book and then i don't i'm just scared okay i'm just no one likes it this is the final book in the diviners series and i really like the diviners gave it four stars loved layer of dreams a five star before they were breakthrough 2.5 and then everyone doesn't really like this and says it's worse so before the double break shoes are like what am i gonna do so we're in new york in the 1920s and we're following this kind of scooby gang of friends who have these magical powers listen i'm just hoping for good things i i don't think from what i've heard people's stories like individual character stories don't get wrapped up in the best way it's big like it's a big book like it's very long small fun like it's a lot of reading but i do want to finish the series off and i really like libba bray libba bray's books have this kind of like drama to them that i really like as someone who did a drama all my life up until the age of 18 i did it for a level i've done it ever since i was a kid i love like theatrics in books i love stuff that's a bit over the top and like i really feel like the diviners is that and kind of looks at it in a kind of theatrical point of view and libba bray used to be in like theater i believe i think i was listening to a podcast she did and i think she spoke about that being what she did at uni and you can definitely feel it so i really like ray's writing i'm hoping for great things but i'm really nervous okay roll number three person number three which is red up here in historical oh a one and a four one two three four five which is number 21 and that is a title with two words something about the books that are talking about how many words a book has in the title i seem to be attracted to in this game and i'm not sure why so roll three was a historical fiction with two words in the title and for this one i decided this would be the choice that my patrons voted on for our book clubs if you don't know i have something called the cat tales book club with my patrons and we read a book together every month we have a discussion live show for it i do an exclusive reading vlog for that book and they get to vote on one round of tbr cludo every month to pick what that book is so the choices that i gave them for this were lovely war by judy berry malibu rising by taylor jenkins reed harlem shuffle by colson whitehead and the perishing by natasha dion now these two were definitely the front runners but one of these won by quite a lot and it was malibu rising by taylor jenkins read now i don't know how i feel about the fact we are going to be reading an ultra summary book in winter he's mugged you off darling he has smacked you off we picked midnight everwood last month because it was like a wintry like in the mood book and then this is like height of summer so maybe we were just craving summer and we're going to live through it by kerosene for this but i am super excited to finally be reading this it was such an anticipated release to me i absolutely loved both the seven husbands of evelyn hugo and daisy jones and the six i'm hoping to reread both of them quite soon actually so i'm really excited to read this with my patrons the link is always down below if you want to come join us for the book club it's so much fun our live show discussions are always like one of my highlights of the patreon i love them so so much and i'm gonna hopefully experiment with the patron soon of like getting some of you guys onto the live shows i think it'll be really fun in the book club and stuff so this is what we're gonna be reading i'll be doing a reading vlog over there for it so you won't see it in a reading vlog on the channel all i know about this is that we're following mick reaver's children and it's like set during 24 hours i think at this party that they're throwing in august 1983 and we're kind of following all the different siblings and what they have going on very intrigued it hasn't been as highly rated and like loved as her other two most popular books but i'm still really excited to read it roll number four person number seven which is brown over here and then a five and a five okay i gotta think about how i do this i haven't really got anything like magical realism that i really want to read this month so i think i'm going to maybe try and get into horror i've got a horror quiet lecture this month so because i rolled a double i can move that and roll again so we're going to go one two three four five six seven eight nine ten and then roll again got a one and a five we can get in there one two three four five that is number nine which is a book with under six thousand ratings on goodreads roll four was a horror that has under 6 000 ratings on goodreads so the kind of like an under hyped less read book is the kind of idea of this prompt and i have chosen the nesting by c j cook i don't really know much about this i'm reading it for a secret tbr that's coming out this month so i bought it for that and i don't really know anything about it all i know is that it's a horror and it had under 6 000 ratings on goodreads so it worked for me it worked for the prompt i'm not getting involved i mean to enjoy myself gc style do you know what i mean i just want to be me a house stands alone in the woods deep in the forest of norway lexi finds a fresh start with tom and his two daughters working as their new nanny the darkness creeps closer but lexi is telling lies and she's not the only one the family has a history and this place has a past oh okay sounds interesting yeah i didn't know too much about it but i'm very excited to read it all the same for the vlog that will be coming out this month rule number five person number eight which is blue down in contemporary i would quite like to get the rose prompt this month for my patrons um so let's see if we can get to that [Music] okay we've got a five and a five i think we can maybe get to it with ten let's see how we do this one two three four five six seven eight nine ten there we go so that is the rose prompt which means my patrons will pick what i read roll five was the rose prompt i haven't had this for the past couple months but i always really want to try and pick it because i really want to pick what my patrons have told me to read so if you don't know everyone who joins my patreon gets to pick two books off of my tbr i send them like my goodreads tbr that i have everything listed on there that i own and they can pick two books off of it that they want me to read and it goes into this jar there will be a lot of casualties we're gonna have a lot of casualties and yes there will be some casualties yes there will okay picking something out of here because it is packed tight oh we've already had one i i i need to transfer it to something else other than this because we're overflowing we've got too many but i'm just gonna pick one of these and whatever it is i have to read it this month okay oh my god they're just okay i've just gotta pick one okay oh what is that oh monday's not coming by tiffany d jackson okay so only one patron has picked this both times i've done the rose prompt i've gotten a book for only one patron has picked i've always expected it to be like there's some books in here that like 10 15 people have picked and i always expect it to be one of them there's only one and it was memo so memo picked monday's not coming by tiffany d jackson i have the audio book of this so that's how i'm going to be reading it i can't remember much about it i think it's about this girl whose best friend goes missing and it's her trying to find her tv jackson is definitely an author i want to make my way through her back this i did read white smoke this year um last year oh my god happy new year and i didn't love it i i didn't love it but i feel like i could still love her other stuff so i really want to read groan and monday's not coming this year and i'm gonna be reading mondays not coming this month which is super exciting okay time for our last roll and then final roll person number six which is yellow over here in thriller and let's see how many we roll we've got a one and a three okay let's just go one two three that is number one which is a new to me author so our last role was a thriller with a new to me author so an author i have never read before and i have chosen rock paper scissors by alice feeney so i've never read anything by alex feeny i feel like she's quite a popular thriller author but i've never read anything by her i know this is about a couple who have had some marital issues and they're going on this trip to this really isolated snowy place together and [ __ ] starts occaring now i love isolation isolation needs to be like a character and a book for me like i love it that much we need this this is essential this is a crisis isolation as a trope just gets me going i don't know why but i love it so i'm so excited this has been like one of my most anticipated thrillers to get to it's not very long it's under 300 pages as well which gets me excited so i'm really excited to pick this up this is for another vlog as well that's coming out this month and um yeah i'm super excited for you to watch me read this and hopefully i feel like i'm
