The Last Unhaul of 2024 📚

[@nyxschmidt7728]

🌹Never feel bad for unhauling books you aren't interested in! Everyone has different tastes and everyone is valid!

[@elskabee]

I had no interest in What the River Knows but after you discussed why you didn't like it, it turns out it's my exact type of book and is now on my TBR

[@onarosebeam]

Can I also recommend us in ruins by Rachel Moore? Set in modern day but still has the archaeological elements if you’re into that!

[@elskabee]

@@onarosebeam thank you! I love archaeology!

[@feylights166]

I remember hearing about the Emily Duncan scandal as the 3rd book was on its way to me lol. I read it, as I actually enjoyed the books, but unhauled after I had finished. It feels good to declutter, even books. I will periodically go through my books...to make room for more books I enjoy lol.

[@hmmurray]

🌹I've been working on unhauling books myself, that I'll finish next year and I'm okay with that. I had heard about Emily Duncan but never knew why she was disliked until this video. I'm glad I never picked up any of her books despite them sounding intriguing. I love how ruthless you are when it comes to decluttering.

[@VeraFran]

🌹 You're helping me rediscover my love for fantasy and you're right, we need stories that keeps um engrossed.

[@lucygaweda3396]

I read Meddling Kids like 3 years ago and loved it but I think it's one of those books where if I read it now, I know for a fact I would absolutely hate it.

[@katiewinn2660]

Master of One seemed like it was set up to fail by the publishers. I enjoyed it and it hit an emotional note with me because I had just suffered a loss and the loving, sentient magical artifacts that "knew" their human would find them got me in the heartstrings. That being said, the story ends with almost no plotlines being properly wrapped up. It was marketed as a standalone but the authors were clear on Goodreads that they had at least another book planned that they would release in some form or other eventually. From my perspective it seemed like the publishers wouldn't sign off on a sequel unless book 1 did well, but how could it when readers were told to expect a one-shot? Edit to say that I wish you shipped to the US because I really like that edition of The Thorns Remain and since historical fantasy is my jam it might be a great read for me. 😘🌹

[@jennifer_left_a_comment]

in case you decide to pick up the thorns remain, it was one of my favorite reads of 2023. it is not a romantasy or romance by any stretch of the imagination. the story is about grief, loss, relationships with family, friends, neighbors, finding your place in the world, and allowing yourself to believe in yourself. it is very, very slow, has lots of mundane tasks, and felt rather melancholy to me. i had the audiobook play along while reading the book and i wonder whether that improved my enjoyment. it made me stick with the slow and melancholy pacing. i was surprised at the not so great reviews on goodreads after i finished reading the book but, skimming some, soon realized that many readers were expecting a fae romance and others simply did not appreciate the very slow pacing of this story. i’m super excited for the author’s new book releasing in 2025! have a lovely day + happy reading! 💜

[@katiewinn2660]

@@jennifer_left_a_comment Ooohhh You just sold this to me!!! 🤩I'm getting my history graduate degree (and library/info science, so I can be an archivist), and everything you just mentioned is ABSOLUTELY up my alley! One of my favorite books of all time is A Declaration of the Rights of Magicians, which is very much an examination of Enlightenment philosophy and the events surrounding French Revolution and England's debates on the Rights of Man if they were given a magical twist. High drama fae romance is fine, but I am HERE for the exploration and the introspection! Thank you, and happy reading to you too! (I'll also check out the 2025 book!) 💖

[@jennifer_left_a_comment]

@ i hope you’ll enjoy it! thank you for the recommendation! immediately went on my wishlist 🥰 the degrees and job you are pursuing sound fascinating, and i wish you best in luck to accompany your hard work! the aspect i always like best about vampire/immortal stories is them getting to live through the ages and being able to witness and live through centuries - how fascinating it must be to see people and places evolve! genevieve cogman has a trilogy (book 3 releasing in 2025) about scarlet pimpernell/the french revolution with vampires. the first book is scarlet and, so far, the only one i’ve read. it wasn’t as captivating but a fun read nonetheless. the fore- and afterword were the most interesting, though. have a lovely day + happy reading! 💜

So sad about mistress of lies, it’s gorgeous

[@justynajusty]

🌹 💐 No point in keeping something that doesn't spark joy. Plus, you can spend more time reading books that make you happy. 🌹💐

[@emmal7510]

Since you still have the audiobook for The City We Became, I will say I think it's worth giving it another shot. It took me a bit to get into it, but it was worth it, imo.

[@welshreader]

I loved The Curse of Saints but I think it was a case of right book right time as it got me out of a reading slump! I love unhauling now and Shelve It Or Scrap it keeps making me want to tackle my TBR👀🌹

[@kcreynolds7661]

I also enjoyed The Curse of Saints. 😊

[@JulEnglefaris]

I first heard about Malice from your channel like years ago and I don't think I've ever heard anyone else talk about it. I still kinda wanna read it tho!

[@Lucy-y1z]

👏wake up queen has posted 👏

[@charityslibrary]

Ooooh love the ad you included. Literally sign me up 😂 made an order and planted some trees! 🌲

[@vampvswolf]

🌹 glad you are unhauling books that you don't like. The Hazelwood was also a disappointment for me too.

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

This was a good unhaul!

[@AbiofPellinor]

the face stroking is just weird 🤣🤣🌹

[@joannehallinan7782]

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 thanks for all the feed back on these books and helping us out what we could avoid to keep reading the good ones too 😆😁

[@jennak.6287]

🌹I really should be unhauling around 30 books but I can’t seem to let some go just yet

[@TinyLizzie]

🌹 Are you selling the books anywhere? 🌹

[@rocknregalia]

I was looking to see if Wild was a clean brand in addition to being sustainable. For example, do they use artificial fragrances? I have been wanting to try, but they aren't listed on EWG, so I couldn't tell for certain.

[@BeccaandTheBooks]

I googled it and their website says they use synthetic fragrances support.wearewild.com/hc/en-gb/articles/13206414234140-Is-it-natural#:~:text=The%20reason%20is%20that%20often,Hence%2C%20Wild%20uses%20synthetic%20fragrances.

[@sallyhigby9089]

If you want to try again, The Fifth Season by NK Jemison is gre. It isn’t abstract like you described The Coty we became , and the other books weren’t as good as the 1st, but that first book was so good.

[@Kafia_]

🌹love a good chat and unhaul

[@jenny_readss]

I love wild! been using them for probably 3 years now.I just opened my final cartridge and wondered when I'd find a discount code!

[@KatiesBookNook426]

🌹its so freeing unhauling books tbh!!!

[@heabooktubes]

A win is a win.

[@cori4727]

Life is too short for mediocre books! 🌹🌹🌹

[@itsmejellydee]

here's to reading more good books!🌹

[@TheHexedLibrary]

🌹unhaul all the books! DNF everything! Oh uhhh sorry. I get excited when people start DNFing books. It brings me joy. DNFing is self care!

if you're seeing this comment, it might be a sign to read 'Magnetic Aura' from Talesio ❤️

[@historydragonsandmagic]

The Thorns Remain was an agonizing read. You are not missing anything. It was so repetitive I swear there was one scene repeated verbatim 3 times.

[@BecxReadz]

I feel lighter for you.

Ooo i loved the curse of Saint! The worldbuilding takes a while in the beginning and its a slo burn but it is a fantastic book. Moor on the side of political intregue. The sequal was also briliant has more fight senes and has a cliffhanger that made me want to tear mij hear out. All the others..Jeah scraps em🫣
