If you see me buying any more books... please bully me. This is absurd.
Hello everyone! I guess I was in the mood to call myself out because this is gonna be embarrassing.
When I first discovered BookTok/ Bookstagram last year, I kinda went full throttle.
I bought pretty much all of the books that were recommended to me.
So I have a lot of unread books, and my goal this year is to get through them before buying more.
So in order to keep myself accountable, but also just because I just thought this would be fun, I’m gonna go through my entire physical TBR with you.
I’m gonna try and just do this as quick as possible because I do have a lot.
For the most part, I’m just going to be saying the name and the author.
Starting off with fantasy, we have my current read which is ‘The Bridge Kingdom’ by Danielle L. Jensen. I’m about 50% of the way through that.
And then I have ‘The Traitor Queen’ which is the second book in the duology.
All four books in the ‘An Ember in the Ashes’ series by Sabaa Tahir.
So, ‘An Ember in the Ashes’, ‘A Reaper at the Gates’, ‘A Torch Against the Night’, and ‘A Sky Beyond the Storm’.
I’m not sure what the correct order to read this is in yet. So, if that’s out of order, please forgive me.
The ‘These Violent Delights’ duology, so ‘These Violent Delights’ and ‘Our Violent Ends’ by Chloe Gong.
The ‘Caraval’ trilogy by Stephanie Garber. So, ‘Caraval’, ‘Legendary’, and ‘Finale’.
And then I believe this one is the spin-off of the ‘Caraval’ trilogy, ‘Once Upon a Broken Heart’.
'Crooked Kingdom' by Leigh Bardugo. I’m terrified to read this.
'Rule of Wolves' and 'King of Scars’, also in the Grishaverse.
I have the entire ‘A Darker Shade of Magic’ trilogy. ‘A Darker Shade of Magic’, ‘A Gathering of Shadows’, and ‘A Conjuring of Light’ by V.E. Schwab.
If you saw my reading vlog for 'The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue' you know I love V.E. Schwab now. So, I’m pumped to read these.
The last two books in the ‘Daughter of Smoke and Bone’ trilogy by Laini Taylor. ‘Days of Blood and Starlight’ and ‘Dreams of Gods and Monsters’.
And then we have ‘The Queen’s Assassin’ duology by Melissa De La Cruz. ‘The Queen’s Assassin’ and ‘The Queen’s Secret’.
The ‘Ash Princess’ trilogy by Laura Sebastian. We have ‘Ash Princess’, ‘Lady Smoke’, and ‘Ember Queen’.
‘The Wrath and the Dawn’ duology by Renée Ahdieh. ‘The Wrath and the Dawn’ and ‘The Rose and the Dagger’.
The second and third book in the 'Serpent and Dove' series. So we have ‘Blood and Honey’ and ‘Gods and Monsters’ by Shelby Mahurin.
'House of Salt and Sorrows' by Erin A. Craig, which is actually a stand-alone fantasy.
My last completed series that I have yet to finish, mainly because I’m terrified of it ending, the last four books in the ‘Throne of Glass’ series by Sarah J. Maas.
I still have a little bit of ‘The Assassin’s Blade’ left, ‘Empire of Storms’, ‘Tower of Dawn’, and then ‘Kingdom of Ash’.
Moving into fantasy series that are either incomplete or I just have not bought the rest of the books for them, and continuing with Sarah J. Maas
We have ‘House of Sky and Breath’ which is the second book in the ‘Crescent City’ series
I already started this, and I am doing a reading vlog for it. So, if you want to see that, make sure to subscribe.
‘The Gilded Cage’ by Lynette Noni. This is the second book in the ‘Prison Healer’ series, and the third book is coming out this year. I love this series.
Another series that has the final book coming out this year is ‘The Inheritance Games’ by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. So I have ‘The Inheritance Games’ and ‘The Hawthorne Legacy’.
Then we have 'Girls of Paper and Fire' by Natasha Ngan.
'The Bone Witch' by Rin Chupeco.
‘Rhapsodic’ by Laura Thalassa.
‘Ninth House’ by Leigh Bardugo.
'For the Wolf' by Hannah Whitten.
‘The Magicians’ by Lev Grossman.
‘Dance of Thieves’ by Mary E. Pearson.
‘The Kiss of Deception’ also by Mary E. Pearson.
‘Truly Devious’ by Maureen Johnson.

Are you kidding? Incredible.
‘Children of Blood and Bone’ by Tomi Adeyemi.
‘The Bone Houses’ by Emily Lloyd-Jones.
‘Seven Deadly Shadows’ by Courtney Alameda and Valynne E. Maetani.
‘The Girl the Sea Gave Back’ by Adrienne Young.
‘Fable’ by Adrienne Young.
‘Enchantée’ by Gita Trelease.
'The Last Wish' by Andrzej Sapkowski. This is the first book in ‘The Witcher’ series.
I only got the first one cause I’m not sure if I’m going to be into it.
‘King Maker’ and ‘Light Singer’ by Audrey Grey. These are the third and fourth books in the ‘Kingdom of Runes’ series. So underrated.
And then, finally, ‘Stalking Jack the Ripper’ by Kerri Maniscalco.
Moving into the Thriller category, which is easily the smallest section.
I have 'House of Hollow' by Krystal Sutherland.
'The Woman in the Window' by A.J. Finn.
And 'Verity' by Colleen Hoover
I also began reading this one, but I’ve you’ve read this book you know it is not for the faint of heart… and I was not in the right mindset for that.
I’m also thinking of doing a reading vlog for this later. So, if that’s something you’re interested in seeing, especially because I don’t normally do thriller so my reactions are very… strong.
Let me know.
Moving on to YA Romance, we have ‘Of Curses and Kisses’ by Sandhya Menon.
'Hot British Boyfriend' by Kristy Boyce.
‘Anna K’ by Jenny Lee.
‘Emergency Contact’ by Mary H.K. Choi.
‘Last Chance Summer’ by Shannon Klare.
And finally, we have ‘9 days and 9 nights’ by Katie Cotugno, which is actually the follow-up to her story ’99 Days’.
And finally, the last and biggest category by far… Romance.
Starting off again with Colleen Hoover, we have ‘November 9’, ‘Ugly Love’, and ‘All Your Perfects’. Terrified to read all three.
‘Lucky Leap Day’ and ‘Happy Singles Day’ both by Ann Marie Walker.
‘The Foxhole Court’ by Nora Sakavic.
‘The Ex Talk’ by Rachel Lynn Solomon.
‘People we Meet on Vacation’ by Emily Henry.
My book buying ban doesn’t count for ‘Book Lovers’ because I already preordered it.

The second and third book in the ‘Twisted’ series by Ana Huang, we have ‘Twisted Games’ and ‘Twisted Hate’.
‘Only When it’s Us’ by Chloe Liese.
‘Mr. Wrong Number’ by Lynn Painter.
Y’all already know how much I adore my slow burn, so, obviously, ‘Marriage for One’ by Ella Maise.
This next book is actually by a self-published author that I found on TikTok, so obviously we are here to support. ‘Can’t we Just Pretend’ by E.M. Mavis.
The second book in the ‘Dreamland Billionares’ series by Lauren Asher, ‘Terms and Conditions’.
And then, again because I am very easy to convince, I bought the entire ‘Dirty Air’ series by Lauren Asher, based off of a one line TikTok recommendation. So… We’ll see how it goes.
We have ‘Throttled’, ‘Collided’, ‘Wrecked’, and ‘Redeemed’.
‘Second First Impressions’ by Sally Thorne.

I really need to remove a lot of the stickers on these.
That buy two get one free deal really got me.

I’m pumped.
Next up, we have ‘Lost in the Spanish Quarter’ by Heddi Goodrich. I’m gonna be honest, I don’t even know if this is actually a romance.
I saw it on Book Outlet and thought the cover was amazing, so…
Yeah.
We have ‘The Soulmate Equation’ by Christina Lauren.
‘Love and Other Words’ also by Christina Lauren.
And then the last book that I have by Christina Lauren is ‘Beautiful’.
Which I’m pretty sure is a part of like the ‘Beautiful Bastard’ and all of that that everybody is super into.
Oh hey, it’s signed!
Huh, I had no idea.
I really trusted BookTok with this one.
I have the entire ‘Addicted/ Calloway Sisters’ series- let’s see if I can even lift this- by Krista and Becca Ritchie… Yikes.
So, ‘Addicted to You’, ‘Ricochet’, ‘Addicted for Now’, ‘Kiss the Sky’, ‘Hothouse Flower’, ‘Thrive’, ‘Addicted After All’, ‘Fuel the Fire’, ‘Long Way Down’, and then ‘Some Kind of Perfect’.
I’m either gonna be obsessed with this series, and it’s gonna hurt me for it to end. Or I’m gonna be very disappointed in how much money I spent.

‘Just Haven’t Met You Yet’ by Sophie Cousens.

I really need to get ‘Take a Hint, Dani Brown’ because I’ve heard amazing things, and I’m really excited to read these.
Not me talking about more books that I need to buy.
So this is the number of physical books that I own that I have not read. I may not know the number… but I already know I’m embarrassed.
If there are any books in here that are your favorites and you want to see reading vlogs for, make sure to let me know in the comments, and I’ll make sure to do that.
Add it into the schedule.
I’m not gonna lie though, this brings me a lot of joy.
I cannot wait to buy shelves, because they’re going to look…
