Today I am jumping on the bandwagon and talking about Tress of the Emerald Sea, known as Brandon Sanderson's Secret Project 1. This was a fun and whimsical fairytale set on a new planet within the cosmere. This video will give you a spoiler-free overview, and then I will dive into fun spoilers and talk about some of my favorite cosmere connections.

I may be doing great with my reading, but counting, not so much! I kept saying I read six books, but I read five. All five of these were fantastic, though! I finished three fantasy series I have been loving and read one fun standalone fantasy book. <br /><br />Channels Mentioned<br />@RodgersReads <br />@LiteratureScienceAlliance <br />@msrichardsreads <br /><br />Tress Spoiler Live Show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE3oZh3F4b8<br />Read After the Bridge Here http://bit.ly/3ldSe9f <br /><br />**Books Mentioned<br />The infernal Devices https://amzn.to/3HyR7YZ<br />The Lost Metal https://amzn.to/3Yt4b9o <br />Tress of the Emerald Sea https://amzn.to/3Y4LU21 <br />Bone Shard War https://amzn.to/3jyytsh <br /><br /><br />Shop my Faves** https://www.amazon.com/shop/jessi_sullivan<br />Connect With Me: <br />Book Blog: http://www.thebookishmom.net/<br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_bookish_mom/<br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abookishmom<br />Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/62014344-jessi-joachim <br /><br />Join my Discord here https://discord.gg/XK9EnB8k6A <br />Join me on Patreon https://patreon.com/TheBookishMom<br />Book Amazon Wish List https://amzn.to/2NDLwFf<br />Non-Book Amazon Wishlist https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/32NVBC7D1RGQP<br />** If you make a purchase through one of these affiliate links, I will get a small commission at no extra cost to you <br /><br />For Business Only, please email: jessi@thecoffeemom.net
Between October and December, I may have bought just a few books. There was a library book sale, holiday sales, gift cards, and Christmas gifts, all in this massive book haul! Though this is three months' worth of book shopping, most of them were used books or given to me as gifts; that doesn’t count, right? Also, new drinking game; take a shot every time I say, “I’m excited.” You will probably be sloshed before the first quarter of the video LOL Channels Mentioned @stephaniesbookverse1098 @TheNerdyNarrative @moonireads @BeautifullyBookishBethany **Books Mentioned What to Do About Dessert https://bit.ly/3YabgeD How to Trim a Christmas Tree https://bit.ly/3jljyl2 Harry Potter https://amzn.to/40fxjT5 The Woman Inside https://amzn.to/3kNid6W Olaju https://pedaentertainment.com/product/olaju_-edge-of-origins-graphic-novel-print/ The Lies of Locke Lamora https://amzn.to/3JtrfjK Half a Soul https://amzn.to/3jhLiXN Vanished Birds https://amzn.to/3Jqsgcn The Black Tounge Thief https://amzn.to/40hZ1P1 A Desolation Called Peace https://amzn.to/3XX9zBB The Siren Queen https://amzn.to/3Jw9h0a Never the Wind https://amzn.to/3jlmA8U All the Tides of Fate https://amzn.to/3JCmdl0 Along the Saltwise Sea https://amzn.to/3kNljb4 Legends & Lattes https://amzn.to/3RmU4AD Angel Maker https://amzn.to/3JvZzuU An incarnation of Shadow and Light https://amzn.to/3wJuFHC Graceling https://amzn.to/3HKVx0b Keeper of the Lost Cities https://amzn.to/3wHrtfw Ender’s Game https://amzn.to/3HM6PkS Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance https://amzn.to/3HIzdo4 Rebel of the Sands https://amzn.to/3jfhlrB Legend Series https://amzn.to/3HoYwKf Tigana https://amzn.to/3kLmw2D The Naming https://amzn.to/3XTm3tS Mists of Avalon https://amzn.to/3YaqAYD Daughter of the Gods https://amzn.to/3kWAqiG Shop my Faves** https://www.amazon.com/shop/jessi_sullivan Connect With Me: Book Blog: http://www.thebookishmom.net/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_bookish_mom/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abookishmom Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/62014344-jessi-joachim Join my Discord here https://discord.gg/XK9EnB8k6A Join me on Patreon https://patreon.com/TheBookishMom Book Amazon Wish List https://amzn.to/2NDLwFf Non-Book Amazon Wishlist https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/32NVBC7D1RGQP ** If you make a purchase through one of these affiliate links, I will get a small commission at no extra cost to you For Business Only, please email: jessi@thecoffeemom.net

This may be a little late, but better late than never! Today, I am sharing all of my favorite books from 2022. These are not all new releases from 2022, but they are all books I read in the past year.

Are there any Booktube videos that you want to see me make? Let me know! I am always looking for Booktube inspiration and strive to give you the bookish content that you really want!

Typically, on my channel, I try to do a good mix of fantasy book reviews, book tags, sit-down chats about books and everything in the bookish community, as well as your “typical booktube content”.

Booktube is fun, and a fantastic community. I may not be a massive booktuber, but honestly, I don’t even care. I have so much fun making videos and talking about the books that I love, as well as the ones that let me down.

Who Is The Bookish Mom on Booktube?

If you are finding me here for the first time, hello! My name is Jessi and I am a mom of two in Central Florida who loves making fantasy booktube videos.

I started out as a food blogger, and really I still am, but I wanted to do something new and talk about more of my passions. Booktube came easy to me since I love to read and enjoy making new friends!

As I said, I started with the “typical booktube content”. TBRs, Wrap-Ups, Reading Vlogs, Tags, Reviews…. You know, the things we all do all the time.  No lie, I love these videos!

Reading Vlogs are probably my favorite though. Probably because I use my reading vlogs to not only talk about books but also to show little bits of my actual crazy busy life.

Thanks for checking out my channel and I can’t wait to talk to you more and have some really fun bookish conversations in the near future!
