Ben Reads Good | A rather big book haul ๐ @benreadsgood | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Ok there are a *lot* of books in this video and I am mildly ashamed, but hear me out... this covers 6 months of book buying / receiving / begging! Hopefully you find some fun book recommendations here and it gives you a good idea of what I'm planning to read in the coming months.
