If you want to cut your tbr pile you could do a challenge reading month, where you don’t buy any books that month and power through as many of your tbr as possible. (It would make a great video)
Damn, that’s a lot of unread books, but very relatable! The problem with my TBR list is I also go to the library once a week, every week, so I have a million library books to read and my own books on my bookshelves to read too. A bookworm never finishes reading haha!
I only have 5 unread books on my bookshelf! I like to usually finish a book then I go out to buy another one just so I don't have too many unread books sitting on my shelf :)
OML I’m suddenly grateful that I have a scary mom who doesn’t let me get more than 10 books every bookstore trip, and who doesn’t let me even get near the bookstore until I finish reading all of the books I brought last time! THANK YOU SCARY MOM!!
omg I relate to this SO MUCH!! my mom forces me to go on book buying bans when I have like 15 books I haven't read yet. the joy of buying books is too real!! also girl PLEASE read Zodiac, The Looking Glass Wars, The Accidental Empress, and Stolen Songbird because those are all SO good and I never hear about them on booktube!!
too many fandoms i've had the last two peregrine books for over a year...untouched. it's so nice to see someone else love reading who's into kpop, too.
babydontstop .mp3 yeah I have tons of books I haven't touched but I WILL read them... eventually 😅 and yes! you know kat from katytastic likes kpop too? she talks about learning korean and watching kdramas too and I'm just like YES // also I really want to see/create a kpop reader tag 😂
too many fandoms yes - and jill from midnight reads! i was going to say that we should talk on instagram, but my acct got banned bc i did an april fools' prank XD. if you have reddit, though, we should talk on there.
too many fandoms i don't, unfortunately. i turned into a hard stan/koreaboo, complete with a changed username, pfp, and bio. let's just say that 5 guys got either extremely sexualized or whitewashed to hell XD. i went the whole nine yards - i even spelled words incorrectly and used lots of emojis. i reported it as hacked, and hopefully, i'll be able to get it back. if not, no loss on my end. 😂
Daughter of the Pirate King (and it's sequel, Daughter of the Siren Queen) is an awesome book! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it once you read it. :)
Hey Hailey ☺️ could you tell me the books that have helped you with writing? Like the ones about how to write and the ones that have really inspired your writing? xox
So I'm stress studying cause exams are coming up and it's like your vids are the only reason I take a break...it's literally the light at the end of the tunnel for me right now
Hailey, I totally understand you. TBR made of books that I already own is around 60-70 books, but I also have a list of books that I want to get into in my bujo and it’s around 400 books…
I agree with Jay G, wait till you're forty and have a look at your tbr. Reading takes a lot more time than buying books. My TBR is thousands of books large lol.
Girl why, why, why did you do this to me!!! You reminded me of way to many books I want to read!!! Plus I have at least a hundred books I have in my library waiting to be read!!
I can’t believe I’ve read a book that you haven’t! The only book on your list that I’ve read is The Other Boleyn Girl, and I really liked it. It’s really dramatic, but like if you know anything about Mary and Anne Boleyn, you kind of expect that. I’ve read some reviews that had an issue with the portrayal of Anne, but I thought it fit the view a jealous sister might have. I hope you like it!
this video has made me more comfortable in my piles of "unread books". I have a similar amount of unread novels to you so thanks for making me aware that I'm not the only one. :)
Stolen Songbird, And I Darken, the Diabolic and the Empress, Uprooted, the Bear and the Nightingale..... girl, please make time for some of these books! Haha, your TBR gives me anxiety, I have about twenty on my TBR and I get overwhelmed!
Wow all those books have such beautiful covers, this was like tbr + art exhibition 😂😂 Also, I've actually read Courtship and Curses and it was good for a quick fun witchy read and even had some disability rep! ✨
I was going to say, have not read any of those books until I saw The Summoner , so happy I own and read one of those books, some of the rest have on my kindle, hopefully in May I can get back to reading, only read 3 books this year.
I so relate to this! I always buy books faster than I can read them! Last time I counted I had a little over 200 but I'm sure it's much higher now haha
I am really interested in the Rachel Hartman books, Truthwitch and some of the Elisa Kova books. I don't feel that badly about my book buying habit. I haven't been reading a ton this year either. :p
I have 86 on my TBR pile. Yikes, I've never counted it till now... But to be fair, I'd say about 80% of them are classics which makes me feel a little bit better!
Girl you haven't read Of Fire and Stars yet?!?!?!?!?! I absolutely love that book! I feel like its definitely something you would love too so i highly recommend picking it up soon!
"Omg Hailey how can you have so many unread books!" - me sitting in front of my 200 unread books on my shelves. Edit: I counted! It's only 138! As if somehow that's more justified. 🙄
I have closer to 300 (most e-books though- perhaps because I read the physical books I buy sooner than e-ones)- and however much I stop myself from shopping or downloading public domain ones, it doesn't really work very long.
And I thought my 50-book tbr was bad... Like, I legitimately thought I had a problem or something. Glad to know I'm not alone (and that it could be worse lol).
Okay there are so many on there I could tell you that you need to read first but DAUGHTER OF THE PIRATE KING it is such a lighthearted and honestly kinda wonderfully trashy read, I love most of the books you love and for me it was one of the ones that I blew through fastest and enjoyed the whole time. You need to read it
I have close to 400 unread books. So there will not be a video up on my channel like this until I get it under control. Lol. Loved seeing your books. You have some really good ones in there.
I have (soon) 90 books on my bookshelf. I’m waiting for my orders to arrive... and I have a total of 41 unread books. My goal is to at least read 10-15 books on my list before buying more books. I can’t believe I have 100 books soon (not counting the 22 books on my Kindle).
I think I only have 10-20 books on my tbr, but I really don't like having a large tbr it makes me feel stressed haha. Although I have a bad habit of buying books from charity shops because they're cheap, then never reading them!
I really want to read The Belles and The Darkest Minds! Just have to get them first :) I'm hoping to read Victoria next month since my sister got it for me because she knows I love the show
Dang that's a lot of unread books! Haha well at least my TBR isn't THAT long, but then again you have so many beautiful books I want :p I may not have that many but it's still hella relatable x
I wish I had so many books!!! So jelly.. I own maybe 5-6 books.. So sad! I love reading but the library doesnt have every book i want.. I hope my health gets better so I can go back to work and afford some books!!! 💚💚💚💚
If you want to cut your tbr pile you could do a challenge reading month, where you don’t buy any books that month and power through as many of your tbr as possible. (It would make a great video)
I like that I can just happily sit and watch a video of someone saying a bunch of book titles and get all excited about it
You literally put more books on my tbr list 😆
Damn, that’s a lot of unread books, but very relatable! The problem with my TBR list is I also go to the library once a week, every week, so I have a million library books to read and my own books on my bookshelves to read too. A bookworm never finishes reading haha!
I only have 5 unread books on my bookshelf! I like to usually finish a book then I go out to buy another one just so I don't have too many unread books sitting on my shelf :)
That would be the smart way to do it. I just have 0 self control 😂
THAS WHAT I DO TOOOOOO
wow… teach me your ways, please
i wish i could do that but i cannot resist the urge!
I wish I had the self control to do that. 41 unread books... I bought 11 books this month. 😫
OML I’m suddenly grateful that I have a scary mom who doesn’t let me get more than 10 books every bookstore trip, and who doesn’t let me even get near the bookstore until I finish reading all of the books I brought last time! THANK YOU SCARY MOM!!
So many of them i was like “I’m glad I’m not the only person that hasn’t read that” 😂
200... GIRL THATS NOTHING.
My whole room is my TBR pile XD
Same!!
Relatable 😅
Same I have like 450
Jay G ha!! Same!
Jay G i had over 1k on my goodreads tbr and i'm finally cleaning it up
I wish I owned only 200 unread books.. XD
My TBR is huge as well!
Don't feel bad, I probably have over 500 books on my TBR. 😁😄😂😊
Will you do a separate TBR video for your classic books? That would be awesome! 😃
omg I relate to this SO MUCH!! my mom forces me to go on book buying bans when I have like 15 books I haven't read yet. the joy of buying books is too real!! also girl PLEASE read Zodiac, The Looking Glass Wars, The Accidental Empress, and Stolen Songbird because those are all SO good and I never hear about them on booktube!!
too many fandoms i've had the last two peregrine books for over a year...untouched. it's so nice to see someone else love reading who's into kpop, too.
babydontstop .mp3 yeah I have tons of books I haven't touched but I WILL read them... eventually 😅 and yes! you know kat from katytastic likes kpop too? she talks about learning korean and watching kdramas too and I'm just like YES // also I really want to see/create a kpop reader tag 😂
too many fandoms yes - and jill from midnight reads! i was going to say that we should talk on instagram, but my acct got banned bc i did an april fools' prank XD. if you have reddit, though, we should talk on there.
babydontstop .mp3 omg what did you do? 😂 I don't have reddit :/ do you have twitter? haha and ooh I haven't seen her stuff, I'll check her out now!
too many fandoms i don't, unfortunately. i turned into a hard stan/koreaboo, complete with a changed username, pfp, and bio. let's just say that 5 guys got either extremely sexualized or whitewashed to hell XD. i went the whole nine yards - i even spelled words incorrectly and used lots of emojis. i reported it as hacked, and hopefully, i'll be able to get it back. if not, no loss on my end. 😂
I only own about 200 books. My TBR is about 40/50 books though that will be decreasing quite a lot this weekend.
The Smell of Other People's Houses is sooo lovely. I can't wait to hear your thoughts.
I can totally relate to this! The monster in my closet is literally the huge amounts of books that I keep in there that I haven't read yet!
Daughter of the Pirate King (and it's sequel, Daughter of the Siren Queen) is an awesome book! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it once you read it. :)
Do you recommend it? I'm wondering whether to buy it or not :)
Yes, I highly highly recommend it! If you're a fan of pirates/sirens it's a great read.
Scarlett Books Thankyou! I think that I will try to buy and read it now :)
The Enchantress Returns is on my TBR too....once I buy it...lol!!
Hey Hailey ☺️ could you tell me the books that have helped you with writing? Like the ones about how to write and the ones that have really inspired your writing? xox
this makes me feel 500% better about my tbr pile so bless your soul
So I'm stress studying cause exams are coming up and it's like your vids are the only reason I take a break...it's literally the light at the end of the tunnel for me right now
Hailey, I totally understand you. TBR made of books that I already own is around 60-70 books, but I also have a list of books that I want to get into in my bujo and it’s around 400 books…
And my other problem is that I own some books in polish but I want to buy them in english too so my TBR is literally neverending
I agree with Jay G, wait till you're forty and have a look at your tbr. Reading takes a lot more time than buying books. My TBR is thousands of books large lol.
The reluctant queen is SO. GOOD.
like honestly everyone needs to read the series that it's in IMMEDIATELY
Hi hailey. Good to see you again. I have loads of un read books . But it’s good to have the books. Happy Easter to you and your family. Xx🌹🌹
Hey, I have 1376 books on my tbr list so...Love your videos Hailey!
Girl why, why, why did you do this to me!!! You reminded me of way to many books I want to read!!! Plus I have at least a hundred books I have in my library waiting to be read!!
I have two shelves full front and back and on top on those books. All tbr. It's great it's fine. I keep buying more books.
Blackhearts and it’s sequel Blacksouls were two of my favorite books of last year!
Whenever i see your tbr , it makes me double my tbr no self control
I can’t believe I’ve read a book that you haven’t! The only book on your list that I’ve read is The Other Boleyn Girl, and I really liked it. It’s really dramatic, but like if you know anything about Mary and Anne Boleyn, you kind of expect that. I’ve read some reviews that had an issue with the portrayal of Anne, but I thought it fit the view a jealous sister might have. I hope you like it!
The Madwoman Upstairs by Catherine Lowell is a perfect, beautiful book you will not regret!! Love your vids x
Written in the stars...a very under rated book but I loved it!!
Literally saved this TBR as so many books to add to my own TBR🙈
this video has made me more comfortable in my piles of "unread books". I have a similar amount of unread novels to you so thanks for making me aware that I'm not the only one. :)
so lucky! also you should read 'And I Darken' NOW it's soooo good.
Your hoodie is beyond amazing
Austenland!!! I loved the movie!
the other Boleyn girl and the queen' s fool from Philippa Gregory is so good!
I have so many of the same on my TBR! I didn’t enjoy the last namsara at all.. just a heads up. Love your videos! ❤️❤️
My tbr just grew by watching this! Lol The books seem overwhelming, I’ll send a list and you can just send them my way! 😂
I literally love that you end your videos with one direction
I can’t believe you haven’t read Carry On. It’s so good and definitely one of my favorite books possibly my favorite.
Also, my TBR is huge as well. You’re not alone
Stolen Songbird, And I Darken, the Diabolic and the Empress, Uprooted, the Bear and the Nightingale..... girl, please make time for some of these books! Haha, your TBR gives me anxiety, I have about twenty on my TBR and I get overwhelmed!
The last namsara is good too...not the best but still worth picking up
Your sweatshirt has your logo on it!! Its so cute :D
Wow all those books have such beautiful covers, this was like tbr + art exhibition 😂😂
Also, I've actually read Courtship and Curses and it was good for a quick fun witchy read and even had some disability rep! ✨
I was going to say, have not read any of those books until I saw The Summoner , so happy I own and read one of those books, some of the rest have on my kindle, hopefully in May I can get back to reading, only read 3 books this year.
So glad that other people have TBRs as big as big as mine. Definitely makes me feel less guilty
I so relate to this! I always buy books faster than I can read them! Last time I counted I had a little over 200 but I'm sure it's much higher now haha
I loved This Monstrous Thing it's so good
I put carry on off for the longest time, until I ran out of options and then I fell in love with it
I would have swore you read half of those already. And in my life I find this entertaining lol.
My TBR is currently at 246!!! I’m determined to get it below 200 by the end of the year
Like same girl.. I wish I could just sit down and read every single book I have right this sec.
Read the girl who drank the moon, I just read it and it was so wonderful!!
I have read 1/3 the books u have read in a year and my tbr pile is 2x yours.... DONT WE JUST LOVE MATH😂😂😂❤❤❤
OMG that is heaven 😊 will you ever read all those books? Because I would appreciate them 😊
My TBR is over double that, so no worries. You're fine. :) Besides better to always have more to read than run out! :)
Including my fairy tales and non-fiction, I have 50 books on my TBR
Austenland my favorite book ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I keep track of my tbr on goodreads and its a lot of books as well. Also Im currently reading foolish hearts by emma mills. ❤💜💙
i just read Stolen Songbird!! it was SO good!!
I have so many as well....I'm slowly making my way through them
Foolish Hearts was so good!
I am really interested in the Rachel Hartman books, Truthwitch and some of the Elisa Kova books. I don't feel that badly about my book buying habit. I haven't been reading a ton this year either. :p
I have 86 on my TBR pile. Yikes, I've never counted it till now... But to be fair, I'd say about 80% of them are classics which makes me feel a little bit better!
HAILEY YOU NEED TO READ OUT OF THE EASY, especially if you liked Ruta's other books :)
Girl you haven't read Of Fire and Stars yet?!?!?!?!?! I absolutely love that book! I feel like its definitely something you would love too so i highly recommend picking it up soon!
The struggle of balancing reading and writing is strong with me. I basically binge one or the other. What's time management??
I also have a lot of books to read... I love buying books so much but I'm on a book no-buy now so I can actually read something!
I am just impressed you turned this into an 8 minute video, like excuse me what..... skills.
READ FOREST OF A THOUSAND LANTERNS I JUST STARTED IT TODAY IT’S SO GOOD 😍
I saw the title and laughed. almost two hundred books is my personal library. that's alot of unread books. 😄😂
"Omg Hailey how can you have so many unread books!" - me sitting in front of my 200 unread books on my shelves.
Edit: I counted! It's only 138! As if somehow that's more justified. 🙄
Thought it said you've almost read 200 books and I was like well you've clearly completed that many moons ago 😂
I have closer to 300 (most e-books though- perhaps because I read the physical books I buy sooner than e-ones)- and however much I stop myself from shopping or downloading public domain ones, it doesn't really work very long.
And I thought my 50-book tbr was bad... Like, I legitimately thought I had a problem or something. Glad to know I'm not alone (and that it could be worse lol).
Please read the bear and the nightingale! It's so amazing
Okay there are so many on there I could tell you that you need to read first but DAUGHTER OF THE PIRATE KING it is such a lighthearted and honestly kinda wonderfully trashy read, I love most of the books you love and for me it was one of the ones that I blew through fastest and enjoyed the whole time. You need to read it
I have close to 400 unread books. So there will not be a video up on my channel like this until I get it under control. Lol. Loved seeing your books. You have some really good ones in there.
o_0
I have 45 books and that honestly already freaks me out even if technically I can read them all easily the next year
I have (soon) 90 books on my bookshelf. I’m waiting for my orders to arrive... and I have a total of 41 unread books. My goal is to at least read 10-15 books on my list before buying more books. I can’t believe I have 100 books soon (not counting the 22 books on my Kindle).

I really want to read The Belles and The Darkest Minds! Just have to get them first :) I'm hoping to read Victoria next month since my sister got it for me because she knows I love the show
I probably have about the same amount too! I need to pull through this year and get some of that down!
Geez! That’s so many books haha!
Dang that's a lot of unread books! Haha well at least my TBR isn't THAT long, but then again you have so many beautiful books I want :p I may not have that many but it's still hella relatable x
I wish I had so many books!!! So jelly.. I own maybe 5-6 books.. So sad! I love reading but the library doesnt have every book i want.. I hope my health gets better so I can go back to work and afford some books!!! 💚💚💚💚

My TBR pile:
The sun is also a star
The lord of the rings trilogy
The girl on the train
Misery
That's it😂
My TBR now stands in excess of 500 books!
Gurl you HAVE to read fireblood!!
My TBR list is huge as well

Probably my favorite video of yours ever lol
Written in the stars is awesome
The Gilded Cage was actually a fantastic book...
How lucky to have so many books to choose from :P
I have a short TBR pile at home, but the to buy list is long. I found Uprooted started off good but turned a direction that I found didn't make sense.
