Love this for you! I definitely made a big dent in my shelves a bit ago because I wanted more space and less of just hanging onto books. I still keep ones I love, but if they sit on my shelves untouched for years and I can’t see myself reading or rereading them, I don’t feel the need to own them. And if I change my mind, my library has most of them. Just so much nicer to unload a bunch of books I feel don’t need to take up space in my life anymore. 👏🏻
Yesss on the “there are other fairytale-sequences things to do”…the world is so rich with mythologies and folklore! Would love to see something new get the spotlight.
The Adventure Zone was my introduction to D&D podcasts. I think I like the graphic novels just because I am already familiar with and really really love the story. I'd recommend the podcast even if the books don't click with you!
The Brilliant Death is actually amazing and it has a gender fluid character whose magic let's them transform their appearance into anything they wish. It's really not a stereotypical YA fantasy.
I did that last year. I also was able to consolidate all of the free floating books that were all over my house and I cataloged all of them and I've been keeping up with keeping that list.
I read The Glass Castle in college and it was fantastic. However, I think if you’ve read a torn family with a deep child it’s nothing incredibly unique. Had I not had to read it I wouldn’t, but it’s still a 5 star. 😊
Daughter of the burning city is actually really good! its unique and has a really fun atmosphere and setting... with a cute little found family! I would give it a try if I were you. :)
I remember reading and loving the Poe Shadow back when I was like 20ish, when I was quite pretentious 😂I've reread some books from back then and wow. I'm glad I got out of that lol
I've actually dnfed The Kiss Quotient multiple times but found the writing style different and much better in The Heart Principle. I don't know if you've unhauled these books already but you may want to give that book a chance.
The Bronze Horseman is actually really good, it’s a love story between a Russian girl and a Russian soldier during the Leningrad siege. The trilogy is chonky though, I haven’t gotten through the third one yet and it’s been years 😬
I love Natasha Preston’s YA thrillers but I will also be the first to admit that they are not literary masterpieces. They are a silly goofy time and quick reads. They’re a nice brain cleanser
I also LOOVE Zodiac Starforce and I'm pretty sure they were getting sued by a nobody ''serial suer'' who sued everyone and everythnig that had Zodiac in it... I think that killed the author's mojo to continue that serie unfortunatly 😭
I agree ya all sounds and feels the same. New lit has some things going on that feel toooo pushy I hate them immediately loose credibility for me I just can’t!
I skimmed threw sex criminals & it was pretty lame but that writter in general seems to write comics that get a lot of hype but are disappointing to me

Hope you enjoy the books you do read. Best wishes.

I LOVE a good declutter. Way to go!!
I’ve had so many of these books on my TBR forever now too 😬😬
Same , like so many on kindle. Lol 😊 hopefully will read them at some point soon.
Great unhaul. 📚☕⭐🔖
Inspiring unhaul, really. (Gorgeous covers are hard on us shallow aesthetes.) Also, FOMO is real.
LAst year prior to moving, I got rid of over 400 books! I of course have already started building the collection back up, lol
the borders 20% off sticker what a throwback

ohh! that is good to know!!
That sounds interesting 💭🤔. Hmmmm😊

I'm just thrilled to be on the same list as you all! Good video Ali

Oh man I saw that burn down rise up and read the blurb. I almost received a TBI by how fast my eyes rolled.
Imposter syndrome immediately about the false dust jacket reveal 😂😂
Love your voice, love an unhaul, let's grab a coffee and go❤
Not you hating the book that made me realise a kinda important thing about myself… (The Kiss Quotient) 🪦
not give the dark my love also on my djscard cart rn
🎉Make sure to remember any lies you ever told and to share food with the homeless and never lie reverse all lies ever told very important for you
You should create a blind date with a book with your unhaul books! Just a idea...Great video!

I don't know why but hearing the words "Indiana Jones retelling" made me feel exhausted.
The only time I'm happy to get second is when Gavin gets first
I hate retellings but i loved A Curse So Dark and Lonely. Good writing and great story
Finally! I also was not a fan of The Wolf Of Oren-Yaro. I felt like the premise was very much misrepresented.
The Bronze Horseman is actually really good, it’s a love story between a Russian girl and a Russian soldier during the Leningrad siege. The trilogy is chonky though, I haven’t gotten through the third one yet and it’s been years 😬
I’ll just have to listen to the audiobook version for that one lol
Unhaul videos are my favorite! I read Flame In The Mist, didn't like it. Donated it without the book jacket it because I love the cover art!

💛💛💛
First hehe
❤️❤️
NOT MY NAME BEING FIRST 💁♀️ will you have room to put all your hauled books on your shelves now ?? 😂
I’m gonna say: yes it’s a Gemini thing.
Cause I’m a Gemini and have the same problem.
So. Good excuse.
Did ANYONE read Splitered? 😂 no
