honestly, just unhaul the books. you made valid points for all your unread books and i can't argue for you reading any of them.

publicly unhauling evelyn hugo? the bravery

“Hopefully it’ll take them places it didn’t take me” if that doesn’t sum up the reading experience, Idk what does

You: This author is problematic Me: *sits up straight, leans in* Oooooh??

The Vampire Academy series is the light of my damn life. Always in my re-read queue

Dang everyone’s unhauling there throne of glass series and I’m over here trying to get my hands on them lmao

your reaction to the gilded wolves was how i felt with the star-touched queen tbh. i was super super confused even through the end

Yaaaaaas unhaul them all! Also, so glad you finally DNF'ed a book. It literally feels so good. And as you said, it's such a waste of time to read a book you're not enjoying!

I didn't know about Philip Pullman! That sucks, as I really enjoyed the his dark materials series when I was younger.

I think I'm the only one in the world who prefers to read hardback covers, but honestly respect. I haven't read any VE Schwab books but I think Hufflepuff male and Slytherin female main characters is the best summary description I've ever heard haha

I am just sitting here wishing you could teach me your ways because I am so bad at getting rid of anything but ESPECIALLY books. I get attached so easy but maybe I should start looking at it the way you do, that finding one of these books would really make someone’s day.

Ugh, so nice to hear someone else say they didn't enjoy ADSOM!! I too have a difficult relationship with Schwab, City of Ghosts was fun though - although semi nostalgic for me since it reminded me of the Mediator series by Meg Cabot that I adored when I was younger

I read one of the queen’s thief books in elementary school, and initially had no idea I was reading it out of order until the middle and I was like, “Ah. Yes, I am definitely missing something.” Thank you for reminding me about it! I’ll definitely look into it buying it myself, and maybe I’ll like it. ^^;;

i’m also unhauling the entire ToG series in hardback. i was reluctant bc it’s such a beloved series and i hate FOMO but i don’t have the motivation to get through them and honestly... the first two bored me to tears loved the vid and u look amazing😍

throne of glass is my absolute favorite on this list but i accept that it’s a huge commitment and it isn’t for everyone! i hope you’ll still read the series even if you don’t keep the physical books because it is really enjoyable. i think it’s really cool that you unhaul books that don’t bring you joy!

Rebel of the sand is not boring AT ALL, it's so fast paste and full of action. And it was great.

What is it with unhaul videos what whenever I watch one, I feel so motivated to get rid of all my books????

Maybe you should continue The Throne Of Glass on audiobook instead. That is, if you are still interested in the characters.

I genuinely loved The Hazel Wood!

just what I needed to watch 💕

I enjoyed Rebel of the Sands, and the subsequent books more, but I'm new here and idk how much our reading tastes overlap. 😅 It is one of those books where you can read the first few chapters and get an idea of what the book is like. The main character is a bit chaotic and a big part of the plot of the first book is internal, both reasons I enjoyed it and why I've heard others didn't like it.

Publicly applauding your bravery for unhauling Evelyn Hugo bc I'm so glad I wasn't alone in not loving that book. I didn't hate it, but I dnf'd it because I literally did not give one single fuck about any of the characters or where the story was going

The second book of the Queen’s Thief series is my favorite because of the romance so I would say maybe keep The Thief but you could always get in on audio. 😊

Ah I just picked up a Darker Shade of Magic - it's my first V.E Schwab book though so maybe I'll enjoy it - but YES to not finishing books that aren't worthwhile!!

I am also trying to emulate the energy of only keeping books that I am going to reread or pass down, and not just books that I liked just fine. I really want to go through my shelves again with this mindset. I loved Shadow of the Fox but I also have talked about how I feel like it's for a specific type of person. I often compare it to anime and/or video games because of how it diverts from the main short to tackle these side stories/quests. I, personally, love that, but I totally understand how others don't. Honestly, I'd say just unhaul them all.

And that day, popular YA fantasy books were culled...ahahaha. Honestly I didn't even realise that about schwab's characters but wow I won't unnotice it now lmao

Good luck on the move!! ❤️❤️❤️

I don't feel welcomed without being called a bitch or a bisexual! Anyways you're an angel, I'm gonna actually watch this now

The shade to Rebel of Sands hahaha but I never read bc the same motive as you

I feel the same way about the throne of glass series

I super struggled getting through A Gathering of Shadows and its prevented me from really trying to finish the series because it was so frustrating to get through

the first time i read the thief i was super bored but the second time around i pushed through and the payoff was super worth it, it just takes a while for the real plot to kick in but if you’re willing you should definitely give it another go

Oooooo I could not for the life of me get through the immortal rules or the iron king 🙈!!! I am interested to hear your thoughts about it though 👀

I also just unhauled Shadow of the Fox. You had great reasons for all of these, even though seeing A Darker Shade of Magic made me a lil ~sad~

MY HEART. MY BABY. Darker shade of Magic. I really liked it ahaha. Book two makes me think so much of harry potter 4 ahaha. And I love the brother. I think my love for it though is because it was a very good hum... way to introduce me to adult fantacy. Its like between YA and adult imo. And I had 0 interest but I got tired of people telli g me to read it so i did and I was shocked (my expectations were super low). But still. With book 2 and 3 I had high expectations and they were met. XD

woooooo new place, congrats !!!

I like the darker shade of magic but you're just not gonna like it so dont worry about it.

Broke my heart when you let archangel's kiss go. I got angel's blood like on the shelve above me so when i'm in bed i literally just reach above me for it.

I wish I could find a hardcover of Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo at my used bookstore.

I just unhauled Rebel of the Sands and the rest of the Throne of Glass books that I owned! I had the same feelings about throne of glass... The last book I read was Heir Of Fire and I just don’t care enough to read the rest of the books in the series.

I read “A Crown of Wishes” and “The Startouched Queen” and they were okay. “A Crown of Wishes” was the better of the two and had an interesting concept that I enjoyed. “The Startouched Queen” had an interesting concept but was slow-moving and took me forever to get through. I had to make myself finish it. Once I finished it, I thought it was okay but I don’t like having to push myself to finish books.

If you go on eBay there are a few sellers who sell the Vampire Academy hardback. I got mine for like $5! Officially, it’s called the “signature edition”

Agreed. I get through books faster digitally know. My boyfriend gave me a tablet, and I've finished five books in one week.

the audio book for the thief is pretty good! they're narrated by steve west and he's great with voices

Gorgeous makeup! 😍

in my opinion the immortal rules is Julie’s best work thus far - I hope you enjoy it!!

Roshani Chokshi is one of my favorite authors, but I understand if you want to unhaul those books. I love them, but it's really up to you

u kno TDG is my shit but i support you in all your unhauling endeavors

I am really interested in seeing more of your thoughts on Evelyn Hugo. I am about to read this one, but am apprehensive because it seems to have very polarizing reviews on it.

uwu you look SO PRETTY in this video and CONGRATS ON THE MOVE !! I haven't had the best luck with white people writing middle eastern stories so rebel of the sands scares me we forever stan a controversial queen

I've been thinking about unhauling my Throne of Glass books too it feels like such a big thing because I used to read Sarah's work on fictionpress like, 13 years ago but also, I've been read more than 11 pages of Empire of Storms and I'm not sure I ever will. Anyway, seeing you unhaul them is one more point in favor of unhauling mine

I agree with getting rid of the hazel wood. I honestly didn’t find it that interesting when I was reading it (I was reading the audiobook). I also didn’t care for the ending or any of the characters.

I rly love the thief series! But it is pretty slow

Me: sick, tired, has had an extremely long day Chandler: uploads Me: what’s ten more minutes I never sleep anyways Edit: I personally think the gilded wolves is her worst book, so I think you’d like a star-touched queen more than the gilded wolves

ooo zesty eyeshadow today

Lumber janes is free online!! Just in case you ever want to continue

Throw them all away lol You gave valid points. -B

I know lots of people say you look like Ann Hathaway, but all I see is Stephanie meyer

I couldn't get into Shadow of the Fox as well.

Rebel of the Sands was so boring!! I DNF’ed it. You would love an Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

ok so the star touched queen isn't great. it's pretty confusing and the prose tries to be poetic like 100% of the time which is just too damn much. that being said, i LOVED crown of wishes. if i were you i'd just read a summary of star touched queen and then read crown of wishes bc it's WAY better than star touched queen. i haven't read or attempted to read the gilded wolves though so idk how it compares

I would personally just sell those back to half priced books, hardbacks sell for so much for a way to read that sucks so much. I hate holding them, and then I feel bad if I damaged a hardback because they're expensive but I have no qualms about a mass market

Just unhaul all of them. If you think that you will not like them there is no point to force yourself to reading them. They will make somebody else happy and you will be happy because you got rid off them.:)

Rebel of the Sands was incredibly meh. I got rid of my copy when I moved too

You look like the mom from the channel “The WEISS Life”

It makes me sad that the first buddy read we did you’re unhauling. You’re choosing next time 😂😂

Honestly, the Thief series is so good, and you really grow to love Gen, but if you don't want to read, get rid of it girl.

Not gonna lie there’s no books here that I feel the need to convince you to keep LOL and since my opinion is the only one that matters get rid of em all !!!!!

Oooof, I read shadow of the fox and really didn’t like it o.O

ACOTAR is better than ACSDAL??? The abusive relationship in ACOTAR was a good, enjoyable relationship in your opinion? Well damn 😩

Fly away from all the books! Be free!

A Rebels of the Sand of whatever the names is by That White Author who doesn't know shit and didn't even did the homework or even reading Las Mil y Una Noches ( don't remember the English name) is Hot GArBaGE

star touched queen series is a hard pass. I read it recently, was at page 290 and still confused. Just when you think you're grasping what is happening then bam, all of a sudden there's an entire galaxy on the floor (I'm not kidding) and me and my one brain cell can't handle it. quick question: I know you didn't enjoy The Seven Husbands... are you interested in reading other popular TJR books?

The only books you're unhauling that I enjoyed were ones you read and didn't like so honestly just yeet all the books out

You're so pretty how??!?!? Also i'm not saying you should like read breaking character and the brutal truth (both by lee winter) and review some lesbians for us but like.. that's exactly what i'm saying

When you said Rebel of the Sands was written by a white person I was shook and had to Google to confirm. She's Canadian. How did I not know? 😂

I hope you feel guilty BREAKING MY HEART and getting rid of ADSOM 😠

Wait phil pullman is problematic ? I havnt heard anything. Never read his book but I know of him ahha. Gonna google that after lol

I totally agree with you for The Book of Dust, it's super boring and I surely didn't enjoy it

Loved your book unhaul, Chandler! (I sent you an email about a collab opportunity. Let me know what you think) :)

Just something about one of the books you are unhauling because the author is white instead of 'looking' Middle Eastern. I have many friends that come from that part of the world that are not dark skinned but are white. I also have a pen pal from Turkey that has a very western sounding name and is 'fair complexioned'. I mean, I get hating on authors that don't come from a specific area of the world. I get like that when it comes to American authors trying to write books set in France or French speaking Canada, and don't get French names correct, is ignorant of the history, and puts French dialogue in a book with French characters. However, a 'white' person isn't unheard of in south Asia or the Middle East when you consider the history of those countries. The Barbary pirates were notorious for raiding European coasts and taking women and men to sell in the slave trade, and European DNA can be found in many of these people's descendants.

Tbh His Dark Materials is just too good a series to care what Phillip Pullman says on his Twitter. Don’t @ me. It’s one of the best books series of all time imo haha.

the thief is one of the most boring books ive ever read
