    Awesome picks. Sierra I know you said you've had a tough year with 5 star reads, I think the Syfy you've branched into are gonna be greatly rewarded. Super solid books! Have fun in these worlds guys.

    I hope you read the Buried Giant-it was so atmospheric. Curious to hear your thoughts. And the Mongolian empire series sounds like such an interesting niche find.

    Wow, amazing haul!! I would have been losing my mind in that used bookstore, haha. I recently picked up Kindred used as well (though not for $1!!) and can’t wait to read it. Also very interested in reading The Storied Life of AJ Fikry, My Brilliant Friend, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Station Eleven, Pachinko, and The Wager!
    Oh and happy birthday, Sierra! ❤️🎉

    The Bluest Eye is one of the best books I've ever read and the fact that it is a debut release is absolutely insane! Recitatif is also incredible! Kindred is sooooo good as well, very low sci-fi, Butler is a GOAT. I really need to re-read Slaughterhouse Five but I also just need to read more Vonnegut lol. Girl, Woman, Other is fantastic and should have won the Booker prize to itself, not sharing it with The Testaments.

    Paradise and The Bluest Eye are two of my favorite Morrison’s!!

    I loved station eleven and I would actually also HIGHLY recommend the hbo miniseries of it, it has some phenomenal acting and improves on some of the weirder plot/character elements in the book

    The buried giant is my favorite Ishiguro. It’s definitely not for everyone but I totally vibed with having two older mcs in love and continuing Ishiguros really strong exploration of personal and cultural memory

    Out of all the Emily Henry books, People We Meet on Vacation seems to have the most mixed reviews. I am super curious to know how you feel about it given it creates such polarizing opinions. Can’t wait to see a review!!

    Great video! I don't watch many hauls, but you guys are so excited about all these new books which made me smile a lot. I loved Kindred, Recitatif, Red, White & Royal Blue and Girl, Woman, Other. My Brilliant Friend wasn't for me personally, it's very slice of life and didn't really catch me, but I'm clearly in the minority with this.

    7:43 by Naoise Dolan 😆 (i cannot separate this phrase from that title. Good book tho!! Would rec!)

    I read Trevor Noah's memoir earlier this year and it will probably be one of my top 10 books by the end of this year. I would recommend listening to the audiobook if you can or immersion reading with the audio. Trevor is a great narrator and a there are big chunks of the story that talk about his skill with language and it's cool to hear him talking in the various South African languages.

    Happy Birthday Sierra! May I suggest the Bullet Swallower if you all haven't already read it. It's a Western, with some magical realism, and told from the Mexican experience of dealing with Americans most notably Texans. Tells a family history, with a dual/parallel timeline.

    Huzzah for used books stores! And what great finds! I loved "The Promise," a fantastic novel by a South African writer set in the post-Apartheid period. "Slaughterhouse Five" is a classic that I could read over and over again. "Girl Woman Other" is absolutely phenomenal. So many more great titles. Nice job, and Happy Birthday!

    I agree about the covers of Farrante's Neapolitan series. I personally find them to be so ugly and off-putting. lol

    You can't beat $1 for some great books! Born a Crime is fantastic! Trevor narrates the audio. Kindred is phenomenal! I hope you both love it! Deacon King Kong was a great book! You both got so many other awesome books, too! Happy Reading!!!

    First of all- I love the fact that you make long videos! And although I generally don't watch book hauls, yours are so interesting with all those anecdotes and thoughts, I enjoy them tremendously!
    I discovered Octavia Butler two years ago and have read and loved Kindred and the Xenogenesis-trilogy so far. Hers are the only sci-fi books that I enjoyed, besides The Sparrow by M.D. Russell.
    The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry I have read many years ago and I remember it as a cosy romance. Still have to read Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow ☺️.
    So glad you guys will read The Brilliant Friend! I also thought that I might only read the first one, but liked it so much that within the next six months I read the other three as well…
    I am also fascinated by Gengis Khan and my library has all the books in the series by Conn Iggulden! I will read the first one for sure and see how I like it. It says it is historical fiction and fantasy!?!?
    And last, Colm Toibin (Cuh-lum Toe-been)- I love all the eight books that I have read by him. He is brilliant!
