I love that you're going down the list like "girl what DID you read", like I did any better this year myself haha. There's not a lot of space in my house, so I have to be very picky about what stays and what goes.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

If I proposed unhauling what I didn’t read, my library would be empty.

[@nishienish26]

Haha so true

[@boboblueblue2]

Me

[@madguy262]

Your video from last year inspired me to do a version of this! I picked 10 books I had owned for 1-3 years and not read and put them in a reading challenge on Storygraph. DNF'd and unhauled 3, finished 4! Thanks for the inspo!

[@reya_reads]

reading 8 off your tbr is so real 😂

[@heatherm561]

Nettle and Bone was 5 stars for me. One of my favorite T Kingfisher books and I have read and liked quite a few. Love the organization. It's inspiring.

[@Lara_Ameen]

HER BODY AND OTHER PARTIES is one of my favorite books I’ve ever read! I hope you read it! 😍

[@jenniferjohansson9523]

I love this idea of video! I might do this with like 5-10 on my tbr just so I don't stress myself out haha

[@MarkiyC]

the absolute terrified looks and hissing when you see past yourself with the books you didn't read is so relatble and funny 😅😅

[@borrowedtroublebooks]

Fantastic unhaul video-I love a good spreadsheet. I enjoyed Lakewood, Just Like Home and There There. I completely understand your logic on Name of the Wind.

[@shaylamariah]

you are the prettiest person i have ever seen! that color is STUNNING on you ❤

[@87kmh]

I love all the windows in your condo! 😍

[@thenerdy_dreamer]

Okay so this video just came up on my recommended, i love the vibes but i am 2 minutes in and because i watched everything on 2x speed the video of you at 2x speed is now at 4x speed and wow it is a lot! 😂😂

[@angelabarron7275]

Split tooth is phenomenal. The audio book is amazing and it’s super short. Please read Black Sun! I just finished reading the whole series this month and it is so good!

[@louisity]

I love the aesthetic of the list/sheets. 📃

[@jio5680]

Wow you were really optimistic there with putting half of your library on the line...

[@thisstoryaintover]

Truly unhinged behaviour 😭

[@track1344]

definitely read Jade City!! it was my first 2025 read and i loved it

[@mrsjuliaspiegel]

If you have any bookish friends nearby you could also do a book swap. Anything that doesn’t get picked up could then be donated or added to a Little Library.

[@MahimaMS]

A Palace of Illusions is one of my all time favorites! You should definitely give it another go.

[@Uniqdna]

This is such a cool concept I unfortunately own mostly e-books now but this would’ve been cool to do a few years back when I owned a lot more physical books

[@Sharleen91]

I love a follow up video!

[@fujismoke]

I remember than initial video so vividly 😅 I was thinking wow so many great books unread, she is IN for a year. And then you only read 8 😅😅😅😅

[@thisstoryaintover]

lol truly a missed opportunity 😭😂

[@chithravedantam4132]

My Dark Vanessa was such a powerful read I think yihlk really enjoy it

[@FaithAlexiss]

the unhauling of plain bad heroines without reading it hurts me 😭😭 i’ve been waiting so long to hear your thoughts on it saddd

[@Rxiepndhst]

I’m here for your reactions 😂 I will put in plugs for The Heart Principle and Jade City. I am usually not a romance reader, especially if it’s hetero. However, the late diagnosed autism rep was SO GOOD. I consumed the audiobook over one weekend, and found myself crying many times because I felt so seen. Also, good healthy masculinity rep? Jade City is like a Hong Kong film noir but make it fantasy! Great toxic masculinity rep lol

[@AwkwardBookworm]

I want to read Jade City so badly 😤

[@badfaith4u]

I started donating books too.

[@np8352]

Really like that you follow upt on last years video!

[@JustLisaLife]

I like this kind of format, but I really, really don't understand why someone keeps books they dnfd.

[@Uniqdna]

For me sometimes it depends on my state of mind at the time like I may not be in the mindset of an epic fantasy so I may be not engaged but a few months later when life circumstances change I may be in a different mood. I have come back to books years after I DNF them and love them the second try

[@hillsha40]

All her Little Secrets was so good.

[@ambernickie9394]

7:45 The God of Small Things is one of the best books I’ve ever read. It broke my heart 😭😭

[@rebelbelle1388]

I'm with you on Name of the Wind. If the author can't be bothered to finish the series (and it's been over 10 years at this point) then I can't be bothered to read the first one. Sorry!

[@honeyjisung]

the anthropocene reviewer is soooo good so sad 😭😭

[@bethmw28]

Plain bad heroines was my most disappointing book of whatever year i read it 😂 i definitely recommend at least trying jade city though

[@Ellereads1]

Loved this video (be aware, the author of the memory police wrote a zionist passage in another book of theirs)❤

[@somturtle9040]

what’s the website she’s using for the spreadsheet?

[@thisstoryaintover]

Notion!

[@somturtle9040]

@ thxx !!!

[@WickedWestBooks]

There is a TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY EDITION of The Name of the Wind and it came out some years ago. It sucks because I love the books, but I can no longer recommend them because I don't know that it will ever be finished. ... Also what's with the bots?

[@clara1311]

what is the name of the song play playing at 20:18

[@josieann4390]

💜💜

[@merlinssister12]

If you like feminist books I would keep Once and Future Witches

[@oneDirectionlovezany]

I am sad that you’re on unhauling palace illusions which I loved for a Mahabharat retailing in a female perspective

[@chocolateoreo6489]

❤❤❤

[@Charlotte5637]

i found the Bennett woman was really badly written! i definitely wouldve kept the heart principle instead!

[@thisstoryaintover]

Ooo oh noo 😭

[@edenjimenez6655]

You’re not missing anything with The Wolf and the Woodsman it’s so trash 😭

[@maya.the.reader]

Darling Girl wasn’t really good imo

[@cassiopeia416]

Small feedback, as someone who watches KZbin on double speed, it is a bit hard to watch this with the video in the background now at 4x speed

[@thisstoryaintover]

Totally fair! I also usually watch videos on 2x speed and realized this while editing so couldn’t change anything at the time but definitely will not do that next time!! Thanks for the feedback :)

[@bkpickell]

That's pretty sad. I'm not a reader. I didn't read a single book last year, but I've read three so far this year. Maybe your not reading the books on your list, because your picking crap books? I don't understand why people force themselves to read books they don't want to read .
