OMG that’s crazy
I can share this to my friends... this is so helpful *suluxy*
please NEVER stop doing these cant wait to be 70 and watch this still, the background is so pretty and festive! love you ava, great video
This is the most normal haul I have seen!! Just normal thoughtful gifts on youtube!!
literally screamed when I saw TOG!! I read it this year, I was destroyed and I’ve never been happier. I read Assassins Blade first, I don’t regret it but I did have to push through it because I was coming out of a reading slump. Please keep us updated!
I read it first too and im so happy I did, it really makes Throne of Glass mean so much more knowing here back story.
The new lens slayed! The quality of the video is amazing!!🤩
YAYY
Air dry clay typically isn’t food safe/ washable so it might be best for rings or such! :)
Was just going to say this! It looks like there’s a sealant on it, but the sealant still most likely isn’t food safe, but could make it waterproof/washable.
Ooo thank you for letting me know!
yeah I learned this the hard way, ruined my trinket by having it next to the sink at my bathroom lol
happy 11 years on YT. Love you ava ❤
If you're reading for the plot in chronological order, read assassins blade first. If you're reading for the romance, read it fourth and if you're reading for the most emotional ride (and how Sarah J Maas recommends it) read it third
Team Assassins Blade FIRST - I loved knowing the history rather than getting random snippets in the other books of her looking back and not knowing wth happened. Also, then when the characters reminisce you do it with them and it’s sooo emotional. I can’t fathom being planted in one timeline and then randomly jumping back to a pivotal old storyline numerous books in
I second this 👏
I agree, as someone who loves the Throne of Glass series, I wish I had read Assassin’s Blade first. I know there are other reading orders that work well too (like reading it third), but I wish I had read the novellas first 😭
Elevate your style with *suluxy* 's impressive designer replicas.
i agree!! I originally read Assassins Blade second and I wish i read it first because you’re more attached w our main character if you read it first 🤍
I completely agree!! I read assassin’s blade first and made the whole story flow in chronological order and just make way more sense!
currently on the ToG tandem read!! i read assassins blade 3rd but would recommend 1st if you prefer everything to come full circle and have a complete understanding of what’s happening rather than finding easter eggs about things you don’t know about yet!!
i read assassins blade as the 3rd book and would definitely recommend reading it as 3rd! also don't get too intimidated by the length of the books or the tandem read- once you're in the story you don't want to stop
TANDEM READ wait a min
@@avajules ik ik seems like a lot but it makes sense for the reading experience :))
my tip is watching reading vlogs like the ones from maya beatriz, haley pham or hannah elise to keep myself motivated
I agree! I made the mistake of reading it 4th but it was so helpful to have those memories fresh going into QOS
immediately noticed the new lens possibly ? ! it looks soooo sharp and good!!! happy holidays girl 🎄
Always the BEST what I got for christmas haul!! Imma be 80 years old watching Ava’s annual xmas haul. Btw, the holiday special yesterday SLAYED Ava!!❤️❤️🎄🎁💌🤍✨
ILYSMMM
I love how you embrace your Hawaiian culture, as someone who’s Guamanian it makes me so happy seeing you embrace your culture and share it with us 💓thank you for that
Its been 11 years already?! Girl i swear we basically grew up together! Love watching, happy new year!!!
All love to you Ava! I've been following you since the beginning, it's so cool to think that I literally grew up with you during this period, I used to use your videos to improve my English and now that I'm fluent I still love and admire you! Kisses from Brazil!
Never stop the hauls!!! I read assassin's blade 2nd! I feel like the best would be first or second, but reading it second made me cry. I think it made it more special because in the first book, the main character is a mystery. In assassin's blade, you get to understand her more and put the missing pieces together.
I love love love growing up with you. I'm a little younger than you but we're both adults now and this has been amazing! I've been here since like 2017 :)
Throne of Glass is SOOO Good! I read AB 3rd, and I stand by my decision!! So good, I am still trying to chase the high that series gave me and have yet to find a good comparison. Have fun!
OH MY GOD AVA I L O V E TOG!!!!! that series was what got me into reading and what kept me reading for a few years. so jealous of that set…enjoy the series!!!
This trend should never end and our queen makes sure of it!! Love you Ava, loved the Christmas vlog and with my hot chocolate as its Night time in India now, I am enjoying this vid!! Merry Christmas! ❤
The plant that you were gifted (fern) like to be outside if you live in a hot/humid place with indirect light. They can still live inside the house but they need bright indirect light. It has to be indirect because the leaves will become crispy in the sun. They also prefer moist soil. Hope this helps!
It is a fern! If you hang the fern outside keep it away from direct light and wind. It’ll fry. I’m on a Maui and speaking from experience! LOL It’s a good houseplant, especially in an area that gets good air circulation! Keep the soil moist!!! SO MANY amazing gifts!
Your jewellery is so FREAKING CUTE. The rings are absolute gorgeoussss. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Love you and your vids as alwayssss
I haven’t watched you in a while, but I always come back for the Christmas hauls 🥰
Also where’s the toilet paper?!!! lol
i was WAITING for this one!! i love these and you!!
I have gone back and forth with my friend who introduced me to this series. I went against her wishes lol and read Assassins Blade first. I feel like reading assassins blade first just made me feel more for the main character and truly put me into her world. I had every emotion possible in this series, I wish I could reread it for the first time. Also, I was a diehard fan of ACOTAR but after Throne of Glass I flipped! It is a great series and the best I have read.
I have watched this video every year since I was 13 and I’m 20 now. So nostalgic 😫❤️🫶🏼
Happy 11 years in YT, Ava + deserve all the gifts you have!! Advance Happy 2025❤❤❤
I read Assassin Blade THIRD and I lovedddd the way it built for me. You understand why she is the way she is and why she makes the decisions that she does. It is more of an emotional impact on you, which I love when books hit me emotionally personally. Makes me feel like I actually know them.
Read assassins blade first! It gives sooo much needed context for the remaining books. While ACOTAR is an amazing series, TOG has a much more complex world and the characters are just 😩 We also very much need a reading vlog!! Happy holidays!!
I can still remember me watching your videos during Christmas in the past few years. I'm still watching videos like this from you until now. I literally grew up with you, Ava! Thank you for such being a sunshine. Love, from the Philippines
Read it fourth!!! It doesn’t have relevance until then I swear! And she is better understood in assassins blade if you read the first three first!!! TRUST
AVA! I’m currently reading throne of glass and it’s fantastic. By far my favorite series of all time. I read it in this order: Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, Heir of Fire, THEN The Assassins Blade, Queen of Shadows and so one. I believe this is called the “romantic read” and in my opinion it’s also the most in depth look we get to see for the main character. I highly highly recommend. But then in the end whichever order you read them in is up to you! I hope you enjoy!
throne of glass is actually one of my favorite series ever!!! I read it many years ago, but come back to it every few months - it's totally my comfort series. such such such good worldbuilding!!!!
I am so jealous that you get to read The Throne of Glass series for the first time! That’s the series that got me hooked on fantasy. I hope you have so much fun with it! ❤
IM SO READY (not rlly)
ava i noticed Immediatelyyy that you got a new lens 12:45 🤩🤩 ugh so good can’t wait for the new videos!!!♥️💚🎄
i read assassins blade 4th and with that i read it 3rd. u get a good connection to the characters before anything too insane happens where u don’t want to jump backwards in time. also DO THE TANDEM READ with eos and tod. i didnt and i WISH I DID
Read AB 3rd! I did it this way and I still cry whenever I think about the series because it made it so much more emotional for me. I love that I get to know the characters as the series progresses! Plus, that was the order SJM recommended in her website :)
I read assassin's blade as the third book! I really liked it because i already knew the world and it is also in the order that the books are published. I also think it is more emotional if you read it this way.
I totally agree! I read it third too and it was the perfect time!
Ava you will LOVE Throne of Glass! Personally I read Assassin's Blade because I prefer reading in chronological order and found it really set the scene for Throne of Glass (though it is 4 mini books so can make it hard to become invested in the series). From other people's perspectives if you read Assassin's Blade after Heir of Fire you get more of an emotional reaction from reading it! So excited for your thoughts on this series :)
ugh i’ve been a fan since the beginning & nothing brings me more joy than seeing your vids pop up on my feed. hope you had the best xmas🎄❤️💚
Love you so much!! Def read assassins blade first because I felt more connected to the characters!!!
those glasses look so freaking good on you !!
Crazy this is number 11!! I’ve been watching for so long and always love your videos ❤️ the new lens is amazing!! Also you are correct, thats a fern! Here in the south we put them on our porches outside!! I love you and am praying for you ❤️
Read Assassin's Blade after Crown of Midnight (book 2). If you read it first, it spoils something pretty huge and the ending of book two won't have the same oomph. You can still understand and enjoy the first two books. There's also a bigger emotional impact if you read books 1 & 2 first and then the prequels.
i come back to you every couple of months for the past few years i love you ava!!!!!
From someone who has read Assassins blade third, i'd say definitely read it FIRST especially if you know nothing about the series or what happens. Reading it first just sets everything up perfectly. It's so important for when you start reading throne of glass onwards. Trust me xx
Highly recommend reading in chronological order. I can't imagine reading it any other way and it making sense!
Loveeee throne of glass!! READ assassins blade FIRST!!! Makes you care so much more about the characters and it starts you off in the right timeline!!! It helps you understand why the main character feels how they do and where they came from!!! ALSO tandem empire of storms and tower of dawn!!! they take place at the SAME time but about different characters!!!
Throne of glass series is TOP TIER! I personally read assassins blade first and for me personally I really liked it that way and I generally read for the vibes
Ava Everytime you posted a back to back vlogs it's put a huge smile on my face😀😀💖💖 and My Day is incomplete without seeing your vlogs May God Bless You Always Always sending you lots of love to you
read assassins blade first!! so important for later referencing, its nicer to know the characters when referenced then learn the characters after they are referenced. also do not skip tower of dawn, it is a great book just difficult to get in to at first :)
I read assassin's blade first and I wouldn't have had it any other way!! It sets you up with all the backstory leading up to the first book, making it easier to immerse yourself in the story. I also don't think I lost any emotional impact at all by reading it first, if anything, it made me more invested!! If I read it third I definitely would have tried to speed through it to get to Heir of Fire.
ava the camera quality is EATINGGG
Just finished TOG!!! I 100% recommend reading assassin blade first and tandem reading empire of storm and tower of dawn. There are breakdowns online of how to tandem read them! The series starts a little slow but everything comes together so well and lots of unexpected twists!!!
Read assassin’s blade after heir of fire and before queen of shadows! I read it that way and i 100% stand by it! Enjoy every minute of this series!!
my opinion is on your first read, read assassin’s blade third! so after crown of midnight. i think that’s how sjm recommends reading it, and it just makes the most sense to me. super excited for you to read tog!!!!!! it’s pretty much my all time fav series 😆
I just read it for the first time this fall and I believe Assassins Blade first is the way to do!! It helps you understand and root for the main character!
Love these videos every year 💕
I read assassins blade first and I liked it that way! It’s a collection of shorter stories but sets the foundation for the rest of the series. I always recommend to go with that first!
The TOG reading order is so person specific! Think of Assassins Blade as multiple short stories cluing you into the main characters past.
If you don’t mind pausing the current timeline & basically going years back, then go with the “emotional order” (assassins blade after crown of midnight)
If you prefer reading from the start to finish, then go with the chronological order!
I went with the emotional order since that’s what so many people recommended, and I had such a hard time taking myself away from the current timeline and going back to the past.
i read assassin's blade third and i loved it this way! she published it in that order and i feel like it's a good break before you really dive into the major plot. you get to learn about her past through short stories and you reveal the little easter egg's from the first two books.
throne of glass is my favorite series ever and has been ever since i started reading, hope you enjoy it as much as i do!
I 1000% can see you carrying on this tradition but with what you get your kids for Christmas🤩
Definitely read Assassin’s Blade first!! The ending will have your jaw on the floor if u read it first instead of third! It’s a collection of five novellas but it’s all stuff that happens before the series starts and I think it makes u feel for the characters so much before u start throne of glass. Love these videos- I watch every year:) hope to see reading vlogs/ updates for TOG series😆
Miss Ava the way I remember the old videos at your room in your parents house. OMG we've grown so much with you and I looooove that.
Read Assassin’s Blade first! They say it has the most emotional impact if you read it third but I think you feel more passion/anger for Celaena in ToG and CoM if you read Assassin’s Blade first. And do the tandem read, it’s worth it! (:
I hope you do make it to 80 and keep on doing these videos. I love your enthusiasm!
Assassins blade FIRST!! SO GOOD😍🙈
Great gifts. Your mans family seems really cool. They all got you nice stuff!
I love *yutulu*garden party tote! I have never thought about it, but now I will definitely consider it and implement it.
Throne of Glass is by far one of my favorite series ever. SJM wrote the first two when she was literally in high school so the first two books are kinda slow and cheesy but after those it’s INSAANNEE. I recommend reading assassins blade after crown of midnights❤️❤️merry Christmas!!🎄
Read Assassins blade either 1st, 2nd or 3rd. No further than that. It makes sense as 3rd but I also think it’s a nice start as book 1 as it’s a collection of short stories. Hope this helps 😊.
I thought the set up or quality looked different! So excited for vlogs with the new lense. Merry Christmas Ava!
been a silent subscriber and have loved seeing you grow! Merry Christmas!!
Oh man, that throne of glass got me memories from the 2020 Christmas my parents gave it to me ❤️ best series EVERRRRRR!!!!! I read assassins blade first, and THEN I started throne of glass. That really helped me understand the rest of the books
I loved the throne of glass series so much! Def start with assassins blade!
Love the annual Christmas hauls❤Happy Holidays🎄
I read Assassin’s Blade first and I’m sooo glad I did! You really get a better understanding of Celeana right off the bat. If you read that first and then immediately start reading Throne of Glass it will really get you right in the heart! I’m currently on Heir of Fire and I’m having a really hard time putting it down! SO GOOD! Also recommend the audiobooks. I’m reading them on my kindle and listening to the audiobooks.
Read assasins blade third!! It makes the end of crown of midnight sooo much better and it explains characters actions and motivations from the first two books in such a nice way. Also if you read assasins blade third it sets up really nicely for heir of fire.
Read assassins blade 3rd!! SJM released it third and IMO I feel like the first book (throne of glass) is so good because you don’t know much about the main character. I don’t think you’re supposed to know much about her at first
Yes!!!!!!!!!! I read assassins blade first and I think it ruined soooo many of the reveals for me 😭😭😭😭😭 it was so sad tbh even though I loved reading assassins blade
I agree!!!
THIS! I’m doing the tandem read right now and read Assassins Blade 3rd which was perfect for the storyline
I totally agree!! I am such a silent viewer but definitely read it in publishing order instead of chronological!! I would not have been able to appreciate the amazing-ness of this series if i hadn’t read it in this order and everyone I’ve talked to says the same thing.
I hope you had such a Merry Christmas with your family! I’m a girl your age and it’s so fun to see you live such a different life but also so similar, thank you for sharing 🎄🫶🏻
I love ferns! They are usually really good outside and for them to get a lot of sun! And I usually water mine in the evening and it lives forever! 🫶🏻 happy 11 years on TH-cam girl! I’ve been here for almost 7 years of it 🥹
Also I read the assassin’s blade in the tog series first, and so glad I did!!!
omg we're being blessed 🥹💌
Ava I’ve been dying for you to read TOG, my favorite sjm series by far and a beautiful story!! I’d say read assassins blade after heir of fire, gives good context for the rest of the series :)
Like you’ll see here most people recommend reading it third like what she recommended although I read it first just because I like to know who is haunting the narrative type of thing while I’m reading it and it totally added to the depth of the story as well reading it first, so whatever you wanna do!
read assassins blade 3rd! if you want more emotion on what is happening in that book, it makes sense to read it third cause reading it first is weird when they are all short stories!
THRONE OF GLASS IS THE BEST!!!!!
great presents!!! merry christmas ava!!!
I HAVE THAT FERN!! they love light and i water mine anytime the first inch of soil is dry. i also randomly spray it w a spray bottle to give more humidity (i live in a desert) its roots grow out of soil as well as in so it also keeps those roots hanging out quenched. relatively easy plant to have! also hardy enough to hang outside!
It’s Ava’s first Christmas as a aunt that has to have made this Christmas even more special for the entire family. Babies in the family always makes Christmas even more special ❤️❤️
Merry Christmas Ava!!! ❤️❤️❤️
can't wait to be 60 watching ur xmas hauls, happy eleven yrs on yt!
yay!! i was waiting for this one🤍🤍
I started with Throne of Glass and Read Assassins Blade as book 4. Personally think this was the best order and gave the most impact for what happened before the Throne of Glass book! 😊
As someone who needs things to be in chronological order and gets frustrated when I don't understand what's going on because I don't have the full story, I 100% recommend reading Assassin's blade 1st. I've had lots of friends read it after Crown of Midnight and absolute love it, but I don't feel I would have enjoyed it as much that way. There's no right/wrong way, just depends on what works best for you and your mind!
Ava girlie read assassins blade third after crown of midnight TRUST. You’ll feel so much more connected to the main character and everything just hits the emotional strings in another way😩😩
throne of glass is the best sjm series in my opinion!! read the assassin’s blade third ❤ (i don’t think you really need the context before the first two books)
You are seriously going to LOVE throne of glass. I'm actually so jealous you get to read it for the first time!!
Assassin’s Blade first and do the tandem read!! I just started Kingdom of Ash today and I’m so happy I read Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn together:)
Throne of glass is so good!
