A BOOK UNHAUL

[@paperbackdreams]

i read and i darken and i loved it, but i unhauled my copy and now i rise last year too bc i tried reading the second one and just?? hated?? it? idk it was weird, but i totally get where you’re coming from lol i don’t really think they’re *that* good anymore 😂

[@chandlerainsley]

i think i might have gone in thinking it was fantasy too which ended up being a let down. it's like this book was set in a rain storm. it was like dark and soggy.

[@mowoe]

you worded your opinion on vicious and vengeful so incredibly well!! that's exactly how i feel about v.e. schwab's works too 😅

[@alexabraham9721]

i recently unhauled all those post hunger games snooze series i power read in hs (see: divergent, maze runner, etc) and christ do i feel free

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

It wasn’t awful...but it wasn’t good” - me when I describe myself

[@emmirosereads]

Ooh, yes! We love a good unhaul. 😏 Yeah, I unhauled my Schawb books awhile ago because I just wasn't that impressed. In my most recent unhaul I got rid of so many books oh my gosh, The Cruel Prince and all my SJM books, just to name a few. 😂

[@sarahsbookshelves6054]

I totally agree on the Assassin girl with dresses trope it’s so old

[@imperatrice211]

I just unhauled Vicious as well, I feel pretty much the same as you about V. E. Schwab

[@starxmon]

I honestly feel the same about VE Scwab's books. It's kind of a shame cause her concepts sound so interesting :/

[@rachaelmarie3194]

I recently posted an unhaul which included An Unkindness of magicians, Bellewether, Fiftyshades, confessions of a sociopath and some others. It felt so freeing! 🖤

[@chandlerainsley]

fifty shadesssss haha a suitable choice ;)

[@LucieReads]

I read almost adulting during my frenzy to read anything about "adulting" and definitely agree with your opinion lol

[@hannahlynn6013]

ah i just did an unhaul too and totally should’ve gotten rid of milk and honey bc i actually hated it??

[@emiloubooks6708]

Just discovered your channel🤗 I haven't read Vicious yet.....send it to me!!! 😂❤

[@meltotheany]

Big same with Vicious AND And I Darken. 💖xx

[@emmanovella]

here for taking out the trash! I am so bad for buying sequels before reading the first book to find out if I even like it! Somehow I get terrified I'll NEED book two and not have it even though I NEVER continue on straight away... lmao

[@chandlerainsley]

i kno which is wild because it's not like we have to wait 7-10 business days to get sequels. like... we can go to the store of use amazon. but somehow i convince myself i GOTTA have em all lol

[@emmanovella]

@@chandlerainsley RIGHT?! I even have a kindle if I need it THAT BADLY BUT NOPE.

[@ProfessorCue]

Sometimes it's sad to see books go and get unhauled, but nevertheless, I'm sure they will one day end up in a home with someone who'll enjoy them...either that or that person won't enjoy them as well and also unhaul them. They'll find a home eventually! :P

[@ThePsychoNyx]

Your voice is so sensual as you're trashing these books and I feel so conflicted but love it? Your warning on Vicious is much appreciated cause I'd hate to finally get round to it and my expectations be completely wrong on an emotive level. I think with how much booktubers talk about the characters hearing that perspective is crucial for a more well-rounded view as what people do and the emotional attachment they induce from readers or in the story aren't necessarily synced so thank you for that! I think feminity shouldn't always align to gender norms but it's a lot like these writers are creating these kinds of characters for wish fulfilment rather than realism or atleast a proper explanation? It's something that's can defo be irking to read through ESP from a protag. Dance of Thieves is GORGEOUS but I have no idea what it's about lol. I don't unhaul personally but this was fun to watch!!

[@light_reading]

unhauled all my john green books and divergent because i do not care about them anymore. never felt better!

[@booksaftercollege6714]

Have you ever read the Winner’s Curse? It has a female character that is badass because she’s smart and not because she can fight 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@chandlerainsley]

i haven't! it's on my TBR tho

[@jonyd2236]

becoming a bit of a fan of yours...just read jeff archer heads you win, struggled at first, but got easier...love reading....haha thank uuuuu....life is far more interestin

[@urosmartinovic940]

I hated Milk and honey. I would reccomend you poetry collection called Helium by Ruby Francisco.

[@chandlerainsley]

i'll check it out, thanks!

[@burtsbooksgrace]

chandler its 2am and i'm about to get rid of alllll my books just bc of you. i seriously can't decide if i like emma mills or if its just her beautiful naked covers

[@chandlerainsley]

honestly... it's the covers

[@hellokatryna]

This is the spiciest unhual

[@chandlerainsley]

just call me diablo

[@kathycorona1427]

Love this and all your book vids!😊Are you planning on doing a giveaway?

[@chandlerainsley]

still haven't decided!

[@speaking_bookish]

I loved Ashley Bell 😉

[@brennaclark9385]

I am the biggest pack rat, so I hardly ever unhaul ANYTHING but if I did you can be damn sure it would be nonfiction if I even had any cause who in their right mind chooses real life over fantasy? Unless it’s true crime of course!

[@WishFulfillment]

[@rachelhumbert3267]

I just went through the books I had left at my parents house when I moved away for college and got rid of somewhere between 1/2 or 2/3 but some of the stuff I was just like why did I even buy this. One of the books I got rid of was The Cursed Child, that weird play turned novel that was honestly just a money grab and so fucking bad. It was so overhyped and 100% not worth the money. So bummed you didn't like the And I Darken series. Although I do get that Lada can be really difficult to empathize with.

[@chandlerainsley]

i know tooooons of people love it and i was super intrigued at first. but surprisingly now it's a series that i just have no interest in. not a big historical fiction person

[@rachelhumbert3267]

@@chandlerainsley I think one of the reasons I like it so much was because I listened audiobooks rather than phsically read them & I really loved the narrator (Fiona Hardingham) but yeah I understand, you def have to be into history for the series

[@MaryAmongStories]

good job for unhauling so many :))

[@NovelInk]

I honestly really disliked And I Darken, so GOOD RIDDANCE. also, even as someone who loved Vicious, Vengeful fell very flat for me, so you're not missing much with that one!

[@chandlerainsley]

the book itself was so pretty for Vengeful but like... i ain't gonna miss her

[@readingandrum]

I unhauled Girls of Paper and Fire because i just couldnt connect to any character except one small side character and jesus christ the writing was something else. Lol i dont need 8 em dashes in 2 pages in my life!

[@chandlerainsley]

OO i've heard such mixed things about that one! i have an ARC and still haven't gotten around to it yet...

[@readingandrum]

@@chandlerainsley i think maybe the hype got to me cause the world was actually kinda cool and i really wanted to like but it just nose dived for me personally lol

[@wistikilit4778]

Just discovered your channel and I really like your personality and the way you talk ! Is that weird ? 😂

[@chandlerainsley]

haha thank u

[@BookishBabbles]

HOW DARE YOU COME FOR LILA BARD!! AHHHHH ILL FIGHT YOUUU

[@lexie_winner]

I have the same feelings about Victoria Schwab. I've read This Savage Song and just couldn't connect with anyone.

[@julianna9209]

oh yes i agree about the thing w/ female protagonists that NEED to be knife-wielding... like tbh I was NOT a fan of lila bard & i felt like she was just kind of... extra w/ her knife-ness

[@chandlerainsley]

her personality WAS knife hahah

[@luciameetsbooks]

I love unhauls 😂 Now, I'll lower my expectations for V.E Schwab, we tend to have the same opinions so I'll def keep this one in mind 💕

[@chandlerainsley]

you might love it, i know her worlds are kick ass... but i'm here for characters and hers are meh imo

[@justvynexa]

you better be keeping the copy I got you of Dancing with Thieves... rude. I recently unhauled so many books, my double/triple copies, and I feel like I COULD unhaul more but I’m not at the point just yet.

[@chandlerainsley]

i did in fact keep the copy you got me ;) and yeah honestly for me it's so hard because i feel like i have to give a book a chance before getting rid of it!

[@readbymarta2781]

it sucks when you get a whole series and then you get disapponted haha

[@gwin7267]

i just got rid of the little paris bookshop by nina george yesterday, so many people like it but it's just so... bad... the dialogue sucks and the characters suck and the writing sucks and everything about it sucks

[@tomboyz151]

I tried to read that because everyone was giving it 5 stars, and then I had to DNF it after 100 pages. You're right, though - everything about it sucks. 😔

[@chloecharlton3837]

I unhauled the 3 Illuminae books because to me they're just kinda boring and I can't connect with them at ALL oops. I love Jay Kristoff's other books but those ones just aren't my thing. I'm the only person I've ever met who feels this way. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@chandlerainsley]

OOOO tea. i loved illuminae and have the other 2 books but... i'm wondering why lol. i'm not sure that i even want to continue on with the series. the format was cool but i wasn't blown away by the story

[@chloecharlton3837]

@@chandlerainsley yeah the format is super cool and interesting but it made me find the plot really hard to follow and I was confused and skimming through a lot of the pages. I read it 3 times to try to love it but it just never clicked

[@hayleymarie630]

Bless, Chandler is taking me out!!
