October Book Haul: What's on My TBR List?
I'm so excited to share my October book haul with you all! As an avid reader, I've been waiting for what feels like forever to dive into some new series and books. With exams and midterms looming, I know it's going to be a busy month, but that doesn't stop me from getting lost in the world of words.
First on my list is The Castle of Toronto by Horus Walpool. I've heard great things about this Gothic novel, and I'm excited to finally get my hands on it. As part of my early Romanticism course, I need to read this book, so it's definitely going to be a priority. I've also got Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen lined up, which is another must-read for the same course. While I know it might not be the most typical Austen novel, I'm looking forward to getting lost in its Gothic elements.
Next on my list is Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. I've been waiting for ages to read this series, and I finally got my hands on the first book last month - Assassin's Blade. I was so impressed with it that I couldn't wait to dive into the actual story. With its unique female assassin protagonist and epic fantasy world-building, I know I'm in for a treat.
I'm also hoping to squeeze in The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken before the end of the month. As a huge fan of dystopian novels, I've heard amazing things about this series, and I'm excited to dive into its unique blend of super natural abilities and post-apocalyptic world-building. It's definitely going to be a challenge with my exam schedule looming, but I'm determined to get through it.
In addition to these books, I've got my eye on The Iron Trial by Cassandra Clare and Holly Black. With Halloween just around the corner, I couldn't resist the temptation of this middle-grade series. While I love Cassandra Clare's Shadow Hunter world, I'm eager to see her take on a new project in a different genre. I know it'll be a quick read, but I want to make sure I get to it before the month is over.
Finally, I've got two Lia Bray books that are vying for my attention. The first one is Divers by Lia Bray, which promises to be a historical fiction novel with paranormal elements. With its 700+ pages, it's definitely going to be a challenge, but I'm intrigued by the premise and the author's unique style. Next up is Great and Terrible Beauty, another Lia Bray book that has captured my attention. As part of the Gemma Doyle Trilogy, I've heard amazing things about this novel, and I'm eager to dive into its Gothic world-building and historical fiction.
Last but not least, I've got Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld on my list. This novel promises to be two stories in one - a contemporary romance and a ghostly adventure. While it's a bit of a departure from the other books on my list, I'm intrigued by its unique premise and can't wait to see how Westerfeld weaves these two worlds together.
I hope you all enjoyed this video as much as I did! What are your reading plans for October? Do you have any creepy or paranormal recommendations that I just have to know about? Let me know in the comments below, and I'll catch you all in the next video.

fourth one recently and I really really want to get to this one this one I'll probably for sure get to because I want to get the series finished so then I can move on to the Heroes of Olympus series so yeah I'm sure you all know about this series um it's really awesome you should just read it and then along the same lines of that I'm hoping to get to Harry Potter in the Order of the Phoenix which is the fifth book in the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling this is the biggest book so I don't know if I'll be able to get to this this month just because of all the midterms I have but I'm definitely hoping that I'll be able to um I don't know I love this series so I'll probably get to it these next two books are pretty much guaranteed reads and that is the castle of a Toronto by Horus walpool and North younger Abby by Jane Austin I have to read these for my um early Romanticism course so I have to get to them this month so um I'll definitely be reading these I've heard this one's pretty good um from my friend who already read it it's a Gothic and then this one's kind of um satzinger Jane Austin book though so yay so the next book I'm hoping to read is Throne of Glass by Sarah J moss I've been wanting to read this book for a really long time I read the assassin's blade last mon month which is the prequel novelas um so I'm really excited to get into the actual story I've heard amazing things about it um and I just I can't wait to get into it it just I'm really hoping I can get to this one and if you didn't know this series is about a female assassin so pretty badass fantasy and the next book I'm hoping to get to is The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken I've heard amazing things about this series it's a dystopian and it's about people with like um super natural abilities I believe it sounds really really cool and dystopian is one of my favorite genres so I'm super excited to read this one and this is another one I really hope I can get to this month next is the iron trial by Cassandra CLA and Holly black I'm hoping to read this one um this month because it's felt like magic which makes me think of Halloween I don't know why but um yeah I'm like I said in my um book haul where I haul this I'm really interested interested to see how Cassandra CLA writes for something other than the shadow Hunter world and also for a middle- grade Series so yeah um I've been really anticipating this book so I will probably get to it this month but I've said that for every book so I don't know the final three books I'm going to show you guys are kind of like creepier books um I've heard at least so they're kind of trying to go with the um Halloween theme and everything I hate Halloween but it's fine I'll still read books for it so next is the divers by Lia Bray this is a giant book and that's part of the reason why I don't know if I'll be able to get to all these books um because one exams and then two like four one two three three of them are like over 700 pages so I don't know if I'll get to them but this one is a historical fiction I believe that has kind of a paranormal um magic element to it I don't know I've seen it in a lot of people's October tbrs so I'm assuming that it's it's creepy and thus I've decided I might read it and I know it takes place in the 1920s and I'm really interested in the 1920s so there's that and then I have another Lia book and that is a great and Terrible Beauty this one I'll probably more than likely be reading um it's also a historical fiction with a little bit of a paranormal element um and this is the first book in the Gema Doyal Trilogy I'm not sure exactly when this takes place really all I know is that it's a historical fiction and it has some paranormal see in it um and I also know that a lot of people really really love it so I'm definitely hoping that I can read this one I think this may be my next read and the last book I'm going to show you guys is actually one I haven't even hauled yet and that is afterworlds by Scott westerfeld this is also a giant book um I think this one's only like 600 pages though yeah so this one's 600 pages but that's still pretty chunky um and it's like two stories in one you have the Contemporary of the girl who is writing the book and then you have the actual book that she's writing which is called afterworlds um so the book that she's writing I believe has to do with ghosts so that's like basically Halloween so um I think I might try and pick this one up but I'm not positive just because it is pretty big and I'm going to be so busy with reading for school and midterms so yeah those are the books I'm hoping to get to in October and the books I'll be choosing from um let me know what you're planning to read in October or if you have any recommendations for like creepy books paranormal stuff or anything uh yeah so I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I'll see you in the next one byehey everyone it's Haley and today I'm going to be filming my October
