It’s a great practice to begin a more mindful consumption practice. We’ve definitely been seeing being a book person turn into an aesthetic and something to over consume. I really appreciate you and your channel and that you seem to genuinely read so so much, plus it’s been your job for years as well. Anyways, it’s just been something on my mind recently with the book community continuing to go down the overconsumption path
I really try to only unhaul things i've read! As a reviewer, I know I have *a lot* of books given the nature of my job so I really try to make sure I pass things on to a new home where other people can get use out of them too!
This is a constant struggle for me, as well. I am just not a library girl; I love buying and owning books, having full shelves of books. But the environmental state is a big concern for me, so I try to be mindful of my consumption. I allow myself to buy books and manga, but don't purchase fast fashion.
I like the approach Jack Edwards takes, mainly buying secondhand 😊
@@feylights166"Just not a library girl" bro what does that even mean?
"Overconsumption" and its just doing the one thing that makes us happy in this dystopia. Lol ok
lol, the whispering when you talk about the book Clay picked out 😂
You reminded me I want to re-read The Bear and the Nightingale series this winter. It's great to refresh your shelves. Room for new adventures.
I have had bear and nightingale on my shelf forever and really need to read it
Honestly I never let someone else’s review sway me away on reading something. If i see them like something and i usually like the same things, i might be swayed INTO reading something but never away 🤷🏻♀️
Same! I've loved books that my fave reviewers collectively hated and vice versa. I'll always give it a try. And like you - I can definitely be convinced INTO a book 😆
One of my favorite booksellers and myself read the same stuff but tend to have opposing opinions. We can Guage if we'll like it based on the other one. Usually.
Same. Everyone is different. Just because someone else doesn't like it doesn't mean I won't like it
The Kingdom of Back is one of my favourite books! Read it so long ago but I still remember how it made me feel-a story that truly sticks with you.
The Kim Harrison book you have is actually #17 in the series!😮
That said, I've been reading that series for *years* and it's just SO much fun!! Witches, vampires, pixies, you name it and the writing style is great! They'd be good pallet cleansers between the big Fantasy times!! And the books just get better and better! I'd definitely recommend the series for some fun, rompy reading.😃
Magic lessons was one of my all time favorites. It has stuck with me for years. I read about 100 books a year, so I promise that it’s not a “one off”. Plus it’s so quick!
this is a great practice! I do this sporadically, but I also try to get it done twice a year when I reorganize my books (plus you can always pick up books from the library!)
Unhauls are so cathartic - good for you!
I've gotten in the habit of using Libby for the ebook/audiobook editions of books that I'm on the fence with. I feel like it's a great way to support the library! (and save money and shelf space lmao). I can't remember if you've read Serpent & Dove but it has a similar premise to Heartless Hunter and you might like it more. Takes place in France, enemies to loves, forced marriage between a witch and Church loyalist. Very CW-ish, but enjoyable haha
aww the girl who fell beneath the sea is gorgeous. I read it last year and it reminds me of a studio Gibli film . If you could find it in your heart to keep it I'm sure you'd love it
!!!!!! omg this might have sold meeeeeee
@@PeruseProject you defiantly should keep it is such a a fun good book!
I agree! That book was amazing! A 5 star easy fantasy read.
Yeah i loved it and i gasped when she mentioned that one and spin the dawn as well 😢 hahah
I have it need to read it
I always find it really interesting to see how and why people choose to unhaul a book... thanks for sharing this 💚
FYI - Discovery of Witches is on Netflix!!! I know not everyone loves but I do - ❤ Thank you for sharing your books with us! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Spin the dawn is great to borrow from the library! It was a good read but also satisfying enough where I don’t exactly need a copy, but glad I read it!
The kingdom of back was a great audiobook fyi! I really enjoyed it that way, it was beautifully written and the audiobook was a fantastic format for this kind of story 😊
I've been unhauling a lot lately and always love to see people's unhauls. Sometimes it is hard to let go but in the end I barely ever remember the books I've unhauled, which speaks volumes for itself + I always keep at the forefront of my mind how there's so much to read, so little time (and shelf space) to get to everything I might have an urge to read in the next 5 years.
I really enjoyed Faebound, it was a solid 4 stars for me, but I do prefer not so high fantasy reads. Happy you’ll be passing it along to someone who will hopefully enjoy it though!
I really liked the “Practical Magic” series, however I borrowed them from my library as audiobooks (which is great). But it’s one of those things that I liked, but didn’t love, so I would suggest borrowing from a library
Not the girl who fell beneath the sea! It's such a charming book and It reads so easily😢
The way I gasped when you held up the Walk on Earth a Stranger series. One of my favorite series of all time! That's what I love about these videos. How one person can love something so much and another can say "meh"
i'm not going to lie, after a childhood full of reading i stopped doing it completely, i don't know why. i became a reader again in 2021 when i started uni and one of the first three books that i picked up for my new reading journey was 'the kingdom of back'. i really loved it, REALLY loved it, even tho it felt for me while i was reading it as if its public actually were teens or so (i don't know if it actually is, or if it is YA or something). i read this book and another one in just half a day (because i first went to uni in the morning, mind you), so it was definitely a quick read for me!
I've been wanting to get the Sword of Kaigen! So good to hear it's one of your favs!
No! The Girl Who Feel Beneath The Sea is so good! It's a cozy fantasy with a gorgeous ocean-inspired setting, a strong-willed, smart female protagonist, really sweet slow burn romance, and charming found family elements. I know you tend to prefer chunky, complicated high fantasy but it is really cute and charming.
i love an unhaul 👏🏻
I still need to read Magic Lessons and The Book of Magic. I read The Rules of Magic, which is about the aunts, and it is amazing!
See I said in my comment that The Rules of Magic is the best of the series haha. I like The Book of Magic, too
I’ve really been analyzing my consumerism this year, including how I consume books.
It’s been interesting the ebbs and flows being buying and not buying, and reading everything I own and nothing. Hoping to find balance with it in the next year.
Magic Lessons by Alice Hoffman is a really good backstory for Practical Magic and why the curse occurred. I recommend keeping that one.
Book of Magic is so-so.
The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea is actually in my top 3 favorite books of all time - I think you would like it!
i bought The Star and The Strange Moon when you talked about it when you got it, I LOVED it! It’s pitched as a horror but to me it wasn’t horror at all (but i also read a lot of horror). It was a magical realism, historical literary fiction.
Girl, Spin the Dawn is a Mulan retelling and it's one of the best I've ever got to read!
Okay time to be the advocate for a couple books 😂
I absolutely adored The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea! It felt like I was reading a shoujo manga, and as somehow who struggles to visualize when I read, like I was there the entire time seeing it play in front of me. Helps I probably watch an insane amount of Shoujo.
And Queen of the Night! Now I listened to the audiobook, and I really think the narrator really helped sell me on this story. I can see where some people didn't care too much for it, but I really think it's a great audiobook to borrow from the library and I definitely enjoyed my time with it.
The girl who fell beneath the sea 🌊 ❤❤
I was surprised how much I enjoyed
your hair looks really pretty!
Yes I totally agree you should get ride of spin the Dawn. I read it snd the sequel and they were both only 3 stars. They were kind of brining in my opinion. But if you haven’t I would read the other series set in the same world six crimson cranes. It’s such a good duology and was a five stars for me!
I LOVED The Rules of Magic. Potentially even more than Practical Magic.
I battle most of my book hoarder tendencies with Libby. Still have over a hundred books but the library is so convenient and cheap! (:
On a completely different note:
You should give the Dresden Files another shot (espechially the audiobook)! I really would love to hear your thoughts on so many of the books! The first two (the second is the worst) are definitely the weakest of the series. The noir influence of every female character being a femme fatal or damsel in distress gets better and Harry behaviour is a clear character flaw that he gets better with and that it very consistent with his unusual upbringing. The first three combind could be a normal fantasy tome, so it's not as big of a time commitment. You might also consider starting with the third book without being lost. Others say you could start with later volumes aswell but a huge overarching conflict really gets going because of events in Grave Peril and it's very dramatic and later books would spoil it.
Edit: Had a half sentence in there. (:
I've been working on decluttering my bookshelves as well due to space not being available. What has helped me with books that are later on in a series - I will find the e-book to the ones I'm missing, read them and then unhaul the book I'm currently holding onto in the series. Not a solution for everyone I will admit that. But some food for thought.
The star and the strange moon!!! I love that author and this is her 3rd book so sad you dehauled this. Her first two books were fantastic and this one I’ve started just haven’t finished yet but from what I’ve read already it’s just as amazing as her other two
I read part of Sword of Kaigen and zoned out and wandered off. Should I pick it back up??
To be fair, I think I was in a slump.
The Queen of the Night is one of my favorite books of all time! I hope you’ll give it a chance. I wouldn’t put it in the thriller category, though. It is a very fictional historical fiction. I read it years ago and sometimes it still comes to mind. Also, Practical Magic was my least favorite of the series and Magic Lessons was my favorite. Maybe give the rest of the series a shot. 🤗
One Dark Window/Two Twisted Crowns seems like it’s beloved by people who are specifically into the Forest Magic subset of fantasy. Practical Magic is actually the worst in the series! Magic Lessons is excellent as a standalone. Andddd the star and the strange moon isn’t horror. It was probably the best iteration of “lost media” and books about filmmaking I’ve read. Unhaul if you want lol but it’s fantasy about a vampire film, not horror in itself.
Hello, Regan! Have you read Dandelion Dynasty by Ken Liu? I'm looking forward to your thoughts! ❤
Spin the dawn is good!!! The audiobook is great🥹
i read spin the dawn and the sequel a few days ago and i enjoyed it actually, im glad i read em.the chapters are short and i liked the characters and the story. its a mulan retellings and theres a competition and then there a quest to find some items. i enjoyed book1 more than book 2 but only bc in my mind i wanted to move on and reading somethin else. ive had spin the dawn since 2019 from owlcrate so im glad i read it. im tryin to read and give priority to older books in my tbr but we will see!! i got kingdom of back from owlcrate years ago but right when i got it i knew i didnt want to read it,the description is not my type of book so i unhauled it a long time ago.
Magic Lessons is one of my favorite witch books. Tied with Circe. It's so much better than the rest of the books in the series.
Good job Regan all ur books going to good homes and libraries 📚📙📙📚🌊🌊📖📚📚📙📙📚📙📙📚📚📚🌺🌺🩵🌺🌺🩵🌊🌊🩵🩵🌞🌺🌺🌞🌞🌊🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🌞🌺🩵🩵🩵🌞🌊📚📚📖📙📙📙📙🩵🌺🌞🌊📚📚
Spin the Dawn is really sweet. I never picked up the sequel though 🫣
I was wondering if Regan has read the other books surrounding The Sword of Kaigen.
I just finished it (sooo good ! thank you for the rec !! I would never have picked it up without it) and was wondering if it was worth it.
I read all four of the Practical Magic books. The best (in my opinion) is the one you don't have - The Rules of Magic. I wasn't a huge fan of Magic Lessons (which is the origination of the curse) but if you read Practical Magic and The Rules of Magic, then you should read The Book of Magic. Oh! The Rules if Magic was AlexandraRoselyn's favorite book that she read in 2023 😅
I liked the star and the strange moon lol
I personally like the other 2 books better in the practical magic series.
!! this is the trend I am sensing!
I started reading The Kingdom of Back at the very end of 2020. I STRUGGLED. I had to get through it on audiobook bc I really thought I was going to love it and I just thought it was boring. I think it was just not for me. The story felt more middle grade, maybe? but with a dryer writing style. It was odd. Idk it's also been like 4 years. But I still have my copy bc it's pretty lol. I just had such high hopes for that book :( I hope others enjoyed it though and maybe I was just burnt out after reading so much that year.
I had to do the same with multiple copies, I just can't justify it unless it's an absolute favourite 😅 it's hard haha
I've been hesitant to pick up the new Ann Leckie because the cover is so different from the other four books I have by her.
Well, that and being underwhelmed by Provenance.
No I agree practical magic series books not great. I DNF’d book two. BUT the prequel was really good! I recommend it.
I like the concept of whalebone but I feel like it could have been executed differently...I tried but I just couldn't get through it
Did you ever finish reading the Keeper of the Lost Cities series?
Wraith- pronounced with a long a is a mythical character. Wrath- pronounced with a short a- anger and the title of Gwynne’s novel
I just put a mini book haul with two new book marks if you wanna check out the video
the girl who fell beneath the sea and spin the dawn are both good for a beginner fantasy reader imo, so i don't think you're missing out by unhauling them
“But he doesn’t need to know” 😂😂😂
I thought the other books in the Practical Magic series were actually much better than Practical Magic by a long shot. I think those that didn't like them were expecting the characters from Practical Magic to be in them , I much preferred the ancestor stories.
😂do u realize that your shirt matches your sofa pillow?!? 🤣
I personally preferred magic lessonsbby Alice Hoffman, over practical magical. I loved learning about Maria Owen, thought it was a beautiful book.
I haven't read any Soman Chainani nor Marie Lu yet. 😅
What are you doing with the books you’re getting ride of? I’d love to buy some if you put them on Pango books or mercari for sale.
Spin the Dawn was one of my favorite books. Definitely recommend reading that and Kingdom of Back! 🧡🧡
She has always called it Wraith. And I always wonder isn’t it Wrath..?😂😂😂
I will periodically go through my books and manga and delcuttering. Over consumption (of anything) is a huge problem, so i try to be mindful, though I am definitely a book buyer. But decluttering in general feels so good!
I know the feeling of the ending of a series ruining the whole thing.
You have been so brainwashed. Owning books is NOT OVERCONSUMPTION you are not a billionaire with 5 yatchs.
@@LynnHermione well no, that kind of overconsumption is on a whole different level.
Where do you uhaul your books?
The Queen of the Night is possibly my least favourite book that I’ve still finished. I forced myself to finish it, but probably shouldn’t have.
The Practical Magic series is beautifully written but… dry? Is that the word?
I only read reviews after I read the book myself
Why don’t you use libraries, especially if you’re not sure to like a book? I understand buying books you have strong feelings about, but it seems a bit much to buy EVERY book you read, especially when you read as much as you do. Seems like you’re constantly running out of space too. Feels counterproductive.
❤️📚
The Kingdom of Back you need to read.
I liked Magic Lessons and The Book of Magic BETTER than Practical Magic.
Yeah Faebound wasn't good. I think we have the same issue with the current romantasy. I have A Fate inked in Blood on my TBR and I think I will not like it at all. I enjoyed the first two books of the Bridge Kingdom serie but hated book 3. It's like Danielle L. Jensen jumped to the new trendy romantasy formula (all spice and cheesyness and no actual romantic developpement) with that third book and the new couple, it was terrible.
Honestly, spin the dawn and its sequel are pretty mid, you’re not missing anything groundbreaking. Girl who fell beneath the sea is very middle grade for a supposed NA fiction. AND FAEBOUND IS HORRIBLE REMOVE IT FROM YOUR SHELVES ASAP
You have an entire house, what do you mean no book space?
Other things need to go in houses aside from books 🙄
@@annaaabananaaaahh I see plenty of space for a lot of bookshelves 🤔
Exactly it blows my mind how she doesn't have built-in bookcases😅
The girl beneath the sea was such a disappointment. Literally one of THE weakest plots I've EVER read.
You let yourself be influenced by other people way too much. Unhauling a hook because of "bad reviews"? Couldn't be me, I read books and make my OWN decisions on if it's good or bad.
Influenced by reviewers and people she trusts whose interests and book taste closely align with her own. For someone who reads for a job, and reads a lot, it makes sense that she rely’s on the people around her to help cull the insane TBR she probably has.
The Queen of Night sucked - it was so repetitive. You're not missing anything
never hit the nail MORE on the head than with the queen of the night!! *stunning* externally, great potential for a story but overall such a disappointing read.
I enjoyed your video and hearing about all the different books. You might want to find words to replace “vibey” , “honestly” and “ to be honest”. The repetition is distracting. Thanks for giving it some thought. I’m subscribing and looking forward to your next video.😊
Send me some of your unhauls 🥲 like The Sword Kaigen 😊
I do unhaul books but not with the practical minded strength that you do! Watching unhaul videos is good for me. I always like hearing your thoughts on the book and your reasoning. Having said that I recommend the Practical Magic books. I (finally) read them one after another this year (while reading other things) and read all four. I enjoyed all of them so much. Rating books is always hard but using the 5 star system I rated 2 of them 4 stars and 2 of them 5 stars. Then read Blackbird House after which is not part of that but has the same vibe. 🔮🪄📗
