Hey, BookTube, it's Sylwia. I apologize
for the quality of my voice,. I have a
cold, but I decided I was gonna film
this weekend I'm trying to push through
in film. So today we're gonna do
another TBR unwrapping. I'm going to
unwrap this book in front of you because
I have decided that I no longer want to
read it. I know what this is, obviously,
it's gigantic, it's hard not to know what it is.
It's Under the Dome by Stephen
King. Ooo I read 234 pages of this and I
really enjoyed it.
I really like Stephen King's writing
style, however there's a lot of violence
against women in this and I just
couldn't justify reading it. Maybe
there's something else that
he's written with less misogyny in it
that you could recommend to me? I can't
read any of his horror so, I don't know,
it's just not worth it.
I'm going to unwrap the last book in my
historical fiction wrapping paper so you
will never see this wrapping paper again!
What will it be?
Oh! I was wondering when
this was gonna pop up. Did I just rip this
by accident? I'm sorry. So, I guess it's
time for me to read The Book Thief. In my
next video I will remind you that I'm
not very fond of World War II stories.
Everybody seems to love this one so
hopefully I will like it, too. This is the
last of my classics / literary
fiction wrapping paper. I know what this
is and I was going to put it off until
the very very end of my TBR unwrappings
but I've decided that I will not do that.
I need to push through and finally read it.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a beast.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is my second
favorite Disney movie and I've decided
that I need to read what it comes from,
you know, the story that influenced the
Disney movie. I've heard a lot about this.
I'm prepared. I just hope that it's
readable. I hope that I can actually get
through it. I'm not sure what the writing
style is like. Wish me luck! Then I'm
going to open two of my Monster High, is
it? wrapping paper. These are fantasy
books. So let's open this one.
Oh my goodness! This is gonna be an
easy read. LJ Smith's
The Secret Circle. It's actually two
books in one: The Initiation and The
Captive. So when The Secret Circle TV
show came out I loved it. For someone who
almost never reads any paranormal
fiction, I really like the idea of
witches and I love the idea of, like,
elements, and the ideas of, like, people
having different powers. I wonder if I
will like this. We'll see.
Let's open the other one.
What is this?
Oh, I know what this is. Okay.
The Orange Fairy Book by Andrew Lang.
I got this for a dollar. I must have been a
teenager when I bought this, like, this is
way before I was a reader it was just in
one of the Strand's- the Strand bookstore
in New York it has these little carts
outside of the store where everything's
a dollar and I bought this thinking that
I would read it someday. These are fairy
tales. I cannot imagine that I would ever
read this- oh, there's pictures. Let me show
you a picture. How nice is that?
Apparently there's a lot of these books
so there's like the Blue Fairy Book, the
Purple Fairy Book, blah, blah, blah. I just
really cannot imagine that I would read
this. If there's an audiobook, I will. If
there isn't, this is not gonna happen.
Then I'm going to unwrap two of these.
This is my random wrapping paper so this
could be any genre. I have no idea. So
let's open this one. This is hardcover.
What could this possibly be? Green? What is this? Oh!
It's another Emily Giffen book. Love the
One You're With.
Sigh. Okay, so I liked Something Borrowed when
I was in college. I didn't buy this. I got
this book for free. I have a lot of books
that I, like, just got for free in my TBR
pile. I have no idea what this is about. I
picked up the orange cover one of her
books recently and I had no interest in
it so it would have to really impress me
in the first chapter for me to really
read it. So this might not be happening.
We'll see. Let's open this one.
What is this?
Oh, is this Roomies?
I think this- yes! Okay!
So this one I'm actually very- I've been
looking forward to this. This is about I
think two girls are about to be college
roommates but they start talking online
before they move in together and they
start a friendship like that or
something? I'm very very excited to read
this. I've been looking forward to this
for a long time. I really love the cover.
I love illustrated covers and this is so
cute. So for some reason I picked out
really big books when I was putting this
pile together several days or weeks ago,
I don't even know, so I guess I'm
challenging myself to get rid of some
big books. Let's see what this one is.
These are also my random wrapping papers
so I don't know what genre these are.
What are you? Oh my God! Oh wow! I am so
not ready for this book. I really, really
want to like this. I'm gonna handle
this with care. I've heard mostly good
things about it.
I'm intimidated by this book and I'm
gonna be patient with it. I'm not
going to rush through it. I really, really
want to like this. I'm gonna be so
disappointed if I don't. Let's open this
enormous book. What is this one? Can't
imagine.
Oh I know what this is! Okay, so this
is two books in one. This is Obsidian and
Onyx. So I bought this in 2014 when
everybody was obsessed with Jennifer L
Armentrout. I did read the first chapter
of this once and it was ... not great ... sooo I
don't have very high hopes for this.
Let's open one of these! This one is
fantasy also and it's thin, thank
goodness What is this one? Oh! Okay.
Princess Academy by Shannon Hale. Did I
read something by Shannon Hale recently?
No. I didn't. Was that Goose Girl book
written by Shannon Hale? I don't know but
I'm reading this. And lastly I'm gonna
open two of my "most anticipated" books.
I'm very surprised about this one
because it's in, like, a manga shape, but I
don't remember having any more manga in
my most anticipated wrapping paper so I
want to see what this is.
Okay, so it's not manga. Oh my God I'm
gonna be so happy if this is Anne of
Green Gables but it's not it's probably
gonna be Secret Garden, right? No! Oh, I know
what this is! Oh, I see!
It is A Wind in the Door. I loved A
Wrinkle in Time, guys. I adore A Wrinkle
in Time. I've read it twice and both
times: phenomenal. Phenomenal book. So this
is the sequel. I don't know if I'm ready
but it's happening now. And lastly
another most anticipated book. What could
this beeee?
Pink? Is this manga? This is manga! Oh okay!
Oh, I'm so happy! I've been looking
forward to this.
Okay so Skip Beat! This is three volumes
in one, this is volumes 7, 8, and 9.
Awww fantastic! So I will be attempting to
read these books- oh! Not this one! This
one's done! I'm done with that one. So
these. These. And these. Wish me luck!
Come talk to me in the comments! <3
