“I will not be buying ANY books” moments after you held up the biggest haul stack sent me over the edge Im in hell now with my brethren

“Whelp I tried” is literally my outlook on life 😂

used bookstores around every corner would be a dreammmm.

So many great books here!! 🤩 I can’t wait for you to read The Troop! Also I’m so excited for One By One I hope it’s good!!

Those Agatha Christie’s!!!!!!! Goddamn they’re gorgeous!!!!!!!!

I think Grave of the Fireflies is definitely the darkest Ghibli film. It's such a good movie, but it kills me every time I see it. I didn't know that Tales of Earthsea was a book series! That's amazing. I have to check out some of these books! I'm excited for the spooky season jajaja.

Omg I’m so excited that you’re gonna read Agatha Christie for the first time!! The twist in The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is so good! My two personal favorites from her are And Then There Were None and Death On the Nile

YESS please do the rick riordan books video!

I am just here to say I appreciate your use of the older (original) term "suffice to say," which I also prefer, even though "suffice it to say" is the more common modern usage. This sparked an entire debate in one of my Toastmasters meetings. Both correct just one being older and less commonly used. I think this is a sign we need to make, "suffice to say" merch!

Ellias is the definition of “cute little bean” and I love it 💚

it’s okay, i read The Catcher in the Rye in high school & i still couldn’t tell you what it’s about tbh

totally agree about i’m thinking of ending things!! it’s one of my favorite books of all time..... but i couldn’t even make it the whole way through the movie lmao

This is the first book haul of yours that I watch and I really love that you mix new and used books, genres and YA/adult fiction, classics and children's books. So here for it! Turning the notifications on for new videos from now on. :)

The murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie is a really good book cuz it has an amazing, jaw-dropping twist. I enjoyed it a lot and I hope you will, too. Btw, you should read all other books by her, especially The Sad Cypress and The ABC murders (which are my faves).

i see a cute boy in a floral shirt, i click

YES the movie I’m thinking of ending things was not as good as the book for sure. Very different

I love your energy haha good vibes all around and so many books it’s so pleasing to watch!!

THE NICKEL BOYS!! SO GOOD

I'm currently reading Earthsea and absolutely adoring them!

"Stranger Things meets Scooby-Doo"??? Say no more - I'm sold

Thank you, Ellias!!! ❤️❤️🦋🦋❄️❄️🌸🌸

The Empress of Salt and Fortune is SO GOOD

"Empress of Salt and Fortune" is my favorite novella of the year. I totally bought it as an e-book and then had to own a physical copy. And there's another novella in the world coming out in... November? December?

That shirt 😍😍😍😍

I don't know if I would say My Year of Rest and Relaxation is light and funny. The humor is really dark and the topic itself is very dark. However, I loved that book so much because it was a fun read. I listened to it on audiobook and it felt like I was having a conversation with the main character!

Oh man, I can't believe you haven't heard of Ursula K. Le Guin! But, then again, maybe that's just among people who are into sci-fi as "their" genre, although she was a pretty big name in fantasy too I'm not sure *how* big for that vs. sci-fi in terms of name recognition in more recent years. She's super famous, and passed away fairly recently. From what I understand she had a really interesting life, especially growing up.

red at the bone was PHENOMENAL. the most economical but lush writing, and exploration in the characters lives. one of my favorites of this year!!

I loved the Kane Chronicles

I really enjoy Morrison, Nervous Conditions I read in first year at uni, incredible read

Kane chronicles is getting a movieeeeee!

ellias reading agatha christie's works is my new kind of aesthetic

a highly anticipated video from our king ellias!!! 🥳

I’m totally intrigued by how you described Bunny- bad/good/weird- lol! Sometimes the ones you can’t really put into words because they are so not what you expected- can be really awesome. Totes gonna read this one now- thanks! Love your videos

The way I die laughing watching your videos! 😭 ILYSM!

Just discovered your channel after needing thriller recommendations, subscribed and enjoying ! Thank you for recommending 'I let you go' a lot easier to understand as I am from the UK and i'm so shook at the twist ! Karin Slaughter is next on the list

He has such a different taste in books than me but I freaking love hearing him talking about any book!! Also, absolutely love the shirt ❤️

The Troop is so good!!!

Grave of the fireflies dude... broke me.

I loved Catcher in the Rye; the main character gets a bad rap, which totally makes sense when you only read what he’s saying without thinking about why he says it, but when you take some time to try to interpret the topics he tries to glide over but continually returns to you see why he says what he does

I’m actually reading the Nickel Boys for school at the moment. It’s phenomenal.

me and my childhood friends are re-reading all of the percy jackson books we read back when we were like 11!!! it’s honestly so much fun. i love this universe soooo much and i’m seriously considering on re-reading all of rick riordan’s mythology books too hahahahah

youre so lucky to have a lot of used book stores near you! there's only one within a good distance of me (nearly 30 minutes away) and its so large (and also sells records, video games, etc) that its overwhelming and unorganized so I don't usually get too much out of it. but usedbooksmonthly is a great subscription service for a low price for anyone that's in a similar situation as me!

*adds all to my TBR*

Yes please! I would love a video about mythology books!!!

OMG!! i'm so excited for you picking up Brandon Sanderson, please love them lol.

I personally think Princess Mononoke is darker than Earthsea, but I'm biased lol Great haul! So many books that piqued my interest : )

Five Total Strangers and Out Of Body both sounds SO COOL

I love your videos! Feels like I'm listening to a longtime friend 💜 I miss used book stores so much. We are living on Guam for 3 years and they don't have a single one 😭

[whispers] halloween reading vlog where you read all of those creepy thrillers 👀

Finally it's time you pick up The Stormlight Archive and the fourth book is coming out this November and I cannot wait...

So excited to get to some of these horror books, perfect recs since spooky season is upon us. Yesss Akata Witch and Elizabeth Acevedo, looking forward to hearing your thoughts. I hear you on Toni Morrison, I want to read some of her books soon for sure.

MAKE MORE VIDEOS BECAUSE YOU ARE THERAPEUTIC. I love listening to you. ❤️

aaaaaa tales from earthsea!! i've also been meaning to pick the series up

Omg I said the same thing. "I'm not buying as many books this year... I'm gonna read more from the library... I'm only going to buy books if it's the next book in a series I'm reading..." yeah that didn't happen lol & I'm ok with it. I bought some amazing books that I can't wait to read

You just have to read And Then There Were None by Christie, the best instance of the "people are invited to this place and don't know the owner or why they're there" trope. Real good stuff👌👌

Edgar Cantero is an absolute, all-time, incomparable fave.

Ellias: "Hey everyone..." *book pile teeters* Me: "Better buckle up!"

oh my god for the rick riordan reading vlog you definitely have to read the magnus chase series!!!!! honestly if i didnt have the nostalgia around the first percy jackson series magnus chase would definitely be my ABSOLUTE favourite rick riordan series. its just so freaking good!!!! percy and annabeth are in the series as well. magnus chase is just the best. i love him so much.

I’m excited to hear that One by One will be the October book! I read In a Dark, Dark Wood and was very underwhelmed by it, but I want to give Ware another chance!

5 children and it was one of my favorite movies when I was little!!! I never knew it was a book, but I’m getting that boy ASAP.

so many great books in this video! the one i was the most excited for when i saw it on the screen was the Divine Cities series. i just read the first book 'The City of Stairs' like a month ago and i was completely blown away by how well-written and relevant so many parts of it were despite it being a fantasy/fictional setting. the amount of culture and history the author packed into that one book alone made me amazed and they mixed it with great fantasy elements! i didn't just read that book but SAVORED it. definitely recommend it to anyone interested.

Your little review gave me the push I needed to dnf The Inheritance Game. It really isn't what I was hoping it would be. The Nickel Boys and I'm Thinking of Ending Things are two of my favorite reads of the year! And while My Year of Rest and Relaxation was very disappointing for me, I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

Song of Solomon is amazing! I read it this summer and it was either the fourth or fifth Toni Morrison I've read. I have to say it started off pretty slow to me, but the ending / second half is phenomenal. Her writing is gorgeous, haunting, and unforgettable. My favorite of hers is still Sula, which is a bit shorter and lighter, a little bit more engaging from start to finish. All her books are stunning though :)

That’s a TON of books! I expect to see all those reviews before the end of the year ;)

PLEASE do the Kane Chronicles!!! those were my favorite books growing up

I've been reading Earthsea this year, and am loving it. Book 4, Tehanu, is very devisive, but it's been my favorite. Enjoy!

I just add a lot of books on my tbr. They all sound so intereste

SO MANY GOOD BOOKS ELLIAS

LOVED THIS VIDEO!!! SO INSPIRING :)

I wish i had a lot of used bookstores near me, too! (but also me buying books even though I'm jobless now lol)

I LOVED meddling kids! I read it forever ago. but i found it really enjoyable. they had me at stranger things meets Scooby-Doo.

I haven't read Toni Morrison either. You're not alone :D

Song of Solomon is SO GOOD I hope you love it!!!

woah wait i didn’t know you majored in graphic design i’m a junior in graphic design right now! everything makes so much more sense now

sooo many great fucking books in this haul jeeeeezus christ !!!!

❤️

The Way of Kings is sooo good! 😍🙌

🖤

Love this video :)

OMGGGG you are going to love The Haunted by Bentley Little!!! I read it back in 2015 and I remember it being not only a great haunted house story but also a bit emotional which I loved.

I made the same statement last year. I stuck really close with it. I just asked people to get me books as gifts or I just borrowed from the library. But 2020 I tried to do it again and that didn’t work even a little...

I really should catch up with the Apollo series

Hello honorary grandson, I Enjoyed your videos so much. I to have a complicated relationship with Ruth Ware. I’m now reading the turn of the key and my heart sank a little bit when you said you didn’t like it. I’m about 50 pages in and it’s just OK.I haven’t read Mrs. West away but I didn’t like any of her other books so I’m hoping that her new one one by one isn’t just a rip off of Agatha Christie. I also read in the dream house and I loved it. Carmen Maria Machado it’s a bit of a genius and very brave plus she writes Memoir which is my jam meaning I also write it. My reading tastes tends to go to thrillers but I also love Jacqueline Woodson. I don’t know if I read that particular book you were talking about but her process so perfect I can’t resist anything she writes.Poets are sometimes the best writers because they write succinctly. There are also a few other books that I liked in your haul.. By the way I started a fuck tube channel on my 70th birthday if you want to check it out. I’m so happy for you and your book club with Cindy and Noelle. I also subscribe to Kayla so I’m in with one by one. I live in Hawaii and we only have Two used bookstores on my Islands and they’re both far away. PS I’m also reading women in the window so far not a fan. This woman has got to stop drinking. Sorry for the long Comment. More thrillers please. Aloha

Ommmggg I also recently bought the catcher in the rye at my local thrift store, the exact edition that I picked up for the same reason (the rainbow corner)!!!! I also don't know what it's about 🙃

I just bought the Sanderson series. I just finished reading Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo for your book club. Already bought thebRuth Ware book so I am set for next month woohoo! I have heard a lot about Troop so I might have to add that to the TBR. And I wish you all the best with Catcher in the Rye. It was the most miserable read I have ever had.

Well...I have a lot more books I want to read. I have read The Empress of Salt and Fortune. It was a really well-done novella, like a beautifully done one, but I was just personally indifferent to it and I don't know why. But it is a good read and I hope you enjoy.

I read The Empress of Salt and Fortune recently. 5 STARS!!!!!!!!

📚📚📚

Your rings look cool like cool cool 😂

Meddling kids was a surprisingly wonderful read for me! Hope you like it!

Can you suggest sites to get used books please

I would love to be part of your book club from the UK but one by one doesn't come out until 12th November here 😢

The number of books that fell on the floor at the beginning could probably suffocate me lmao

L O V E D this video and you!! Awesome collection you’ve got :))

I just added Bunny by Mona Awad & Sin Eater by Megan Campisi in my Goodreads to-read list. 🐰📝 Who knows I might enjoy them, including The Inheritance Games. 📗

I highly recommend Aru Shah and the End of Time! I DRANK THAT ISH UP!!!!

I *LOVED* Meddling Kids. Whether you like it or hate it, I hope you do a review on it because I want to know what you think. I don't think I've noticed anyone else talking about it on any of the Booktube channels I follow.

Great video

haha awesome video :)

Ohfrick, I have totally forgotten about the PJO tv series. This year has been TOO much
