Transcript

So what's the latest book series you bought in the last couple months? I've just been to Waterstones and I have bought this pile today. Now I'm supposed to be writing about, I just couldn't get into. Thought I'd share with you what I bought today. So if you don't know me, my name is Steven Aitchison. I'm a full-time author and I do daily book recommendations and daily audiobook recommendations and funny bookish kind of things. So if you're in that kind of thing, give me a follow. So get right into it. So this was recommended in one of my latest videos. It's Sam Grady Hendricks, Witchcraft for Wayward Girls. So thank you for everybody recommended that. It looks really, really good. So I bought it. This is another one by CJ Cook, The Book of Witching. And I've also got the next part of Brandon Sanderson's books, the Mistborn series, and it's The Alloy of Law, Shadows of Self and Bands of Mourning. I know there's still another one I've still to get. And I also bought Robin Hobb's The Farseer Trilogy. Now I've got book 1. So I bought book 2 and book 3 for this because I enjoyed book 1. I just never got around to buying book 2 and 3 because it was always on my TBR and I've been meaning to get this for a while, but I've held off for some reason. But I've just got it, The Empire of the Vampire. So I've got books 1 and books 2. I couldn't get book 3 and but I'm really looking forward to reading this as well. There's so many books on my TBR just now. So let me know in the comments what series you've just recently purchased as well.
