i used to be anti-ebook which resulted in an insane amount of physical books that got out of hand, so when I unhauled and switched to my kindle I got so sad at my empty shelves in my new apartment 😢 so I’m doing the same thing with filling my shelves with my favorite books & a few new reads that I’m excited about!
My favorite thing is to read a book on kindle unlimited or ebook from the library. If I loved the book I will buy the physical copy. That way my shelves are filled with books I loved and would love to revisit.
i do this! i have an ipad and will read most books on there - if i end up really liking a book i'll buy the physical. i also buy the physical copies of books i have a gut feeling i'll really really love, or if i know i like an author's prior novel i'll buy the new one. not only does this save me money but it's not cluttering my shelves. it also makes me read more and be less burnt out imo.
I didn't know the bully series was getting recovered. I'm still missing falling away and I just went to see if I could get the original cover anywhere online and the cheapest I could find it was $60! crazy
I just ordered that hardcover special edition of Chain of Gold. I had NO clue the edges were sprayed though! Now I’m even more excited for it to get here (and for B&N to do the rest of the series)!
I’m excited to hear what you think of Alone With You in the Ether! I actually DNFed it when I tried reading the kindle version a while ago, but devoured the audiobook when it was traditionally published, and ended up giving it 5 stars! The full cast narration of the audiobook was great.
I talked myself out of buying the special edition of Chain of Gold a little while ago because I already own it but... I still might reconsider because SO PRETTY
Elle Kennedy is always good on reread for me. If you like her/hockey romance Toni Aleo is a good author to check out, but she has a pretty wide spread universe. The Bellevue Bullies branch would be the closest comparison.
I’m pretty sure Elle Kennedy sells the hot guy covers of the off campus series on her website!! I was gonna buy them lol. I’ve also seen them on depop and stuff for like the same price!
I don’t know if I’m the minority here, but I would absolutely love to see a fantasy reads video from you!! I would love to hear your hot takes on those🙈
From Lukov with Love is sooooo good! Zapata is one of my favourite romance authors. My faves are Kulti, From Lukov with Love and The Wall of Winnipeg and Me. Love a good sports romance!
Her books are long, but somehow I never seem to notice how long they are by the time I’m done. Even with my least favourite book/s of hers, they still feel like a breeze to read through. I guess her writing is for me. Her books are ones that I have reread.
I DNF'd it last year because I just got tired of being in the heroine's head so much. We were 30% in and she and the hero had only called each other immature names... like I get it's a slowburn but I need a LITTLE more interaction. Is it worth me trying any of her other ones?
im now exclusively using pango books they have sooo many brand new books for as little as $5 or even $2 for older titles. I just bought a limited edition one for $8 it's awesome I found them via mina reads' rec. between using lib and pango im so excited to be saving lol!
I will put a disclaimer that Lessons in Chemistry has a romance, but it is definitely more literary. I went in thinking it was a romance without really knowing the synopsis, but still enjoyed it!
oh bully was my first bully/enemies to lovers romance oh the nostalgia. I should pick that up I don't want new covers either. also have u seen that author who has all her romance books in discreet color coded covers based on tropes (in addition to non discreet covers), I see her on yt shorts a lot (im not on tt). could you review her books please. seems intriguing.
@@chandlerainsley thank you! Also I would definitely be interested in a Tessa Bailey book vlog! I read it happened one summer because of you and I loved it!
Omg Too hot to handle by tessa bailey was SO BAD. Please do a reading vlog, they’re out to dinner and he’s driving so instead of wine the man orders a glass of MILK
I’m with you….I LOVE a romance cover with a HOT male character! I sometimes get a second copy with the discreet cover so I can travel with it sometimes, but I’m not ashamed to take a hot cover with me if it’s tasteful 😜.
Omg one of the unread books on there I just finished and absolutely LOATHED but I don’t want to spoil your journey if you love it, so all the power to you ❤❤❤ I think I’ve realized I just hate romances (unless it’s super specific, ie Emily Henry) but I don’t hate Chandler so I’ll keep watching even though I won’t read/like them. (Also, i can’t believe you like hot men on covers! No judgment but I could never)
oh priest by Serra Simone the hot dude cover with the guy's abs (no face) is soo hot tho! I read that one and the first one n I like both those hot dude covers! also love the books!
Do you have a problem? Probably. But considering the fact that I went and bought 4 books a few hours ago because I was feeling depressed even though I have multiple piles of books I haven't read, I guess I might have that problem too. So where do we go from here? 🧍♀️

I have limited space in my bedroom, so I only have physical copies of my favorite books & books that I know im going to love
OH MY GOD IT'S ARIEL BISSETS SWEATER!!! Great taste
Did I read Ninth House? No. Do I desperately want to buy Hell Bent? Yes. It’s so pretty!
Part of your World, I cannot forget the line "grace costs you nothing".

I'm happy you got a bunch of books you're excited about! Especially after the year long purge you did last year :)
Also, your hair looks amazing

You deserve a book haul!

Full Tilt was one of my favorite books I'm 2021 when I read it! Also love the second book in the duology.
The library behind you is so charming!!! Omg!!!😍❤️🥴

I love the new Tessa Bailey covers!
Kennedy Ryan is one of my favorites! Definitely worth having on the bookshelf.
I’m waiting for my copy of Kulti to come in and I’m SO excited! I loved it
I usually buy 50-60 books/ month. I told that in a book group and everybody is like furious on me!
"But I kind of changed my mind" me, anytime I feel any type of negative emotion lolol
Where is your sweatshirt from? NEED!
The Deal and Blind Side are my two most re-reward romances!!!
« Do I have a problem ? »
Me: oh we all have that same problem lol 😂
Elle Kennedy sells the an covers on her website I think
You have to read Beautiful Sinner by Sara Cate & Lessons in Sin by Pam Godwin for your priest video!! Both are my favs ❤
where did you get your sweatshirt from? it’s so cute!!
im now exclusively using pango books they have sooo many brand new books for as little as $5 or even $2 for older titles. I just bought a limited edition one for $8 it's awesome I found them via mina reads' rec. between using lib and pango im so excited to be saving lol!
I’m interested in your takes on fantasy!!

So excited to wake up to this video this morning! :)
Blood Marked is so good! Can't wait to hear your thoughts.
Okay but I need this sweater.
Ariel Bissett's merch line :)
I will put a disclaimer that Lessons in Chemistry has a romance, but it is definitely more literary. I went in thinking it was a romance without really knowing the synopsis, but still enjoyed it!
I would like to hear about the boxer romance books
love fantasy!!
You are the first person I've heard say they prefer the shirtless guy cover over discreet covers
Please try my Oxford year!!! It soooo good! Also the dalton brother series on KU
I agree with you on the cover. I prefer a guy on the cover to cartoon pics.
where is your crewneck from?
Managed is so good!!
I love your sweatshirt! Where is it from?
Bestie! Link that amazing sweater pls!!!! Also - another fantastic video! Love you!
Love the sweatshirt! 💚
Yes please to a Tessa vlog!!!
"I don't want my physical tbr to have more than 10 books" 😂😂

It’s Willow Winters, currently reading my first of hers
Kind of random but where did you get your crewneck? It's so cute and I want one!! 😁

@@chandlerainsley thank you! Also I would definitely be interested in a Tessa Bailey book vlog! I read it happened one summer because of you and I loved it!
Now I really want to buy some new books with romance :D
You unhauled tons and tons of books so I would just say your shelves are balanced so to speak 😊
Great to see you back in another video btw 🎉🎉
SO SO SO MANY GEMS!!! 😍
you should read the witcher!! it's a great series!
I always say “I’m helping the economy” when I shop. 😂
I want to read Priest so bad 👀
She’s making up for lost time!!!! Go girl!!
You got rid of tons! You can get what you want.
I LOVED much ado about you!!!
pen douglas just announced a few days ago that bully will be getting a new cover :)
yep! they all will eventually :)
❤️❤️❤️
You really, really should read the Discworld novels.
Forever begging you to read the king maker by Kennedy Ryan 😭 it doesn’t get enough love
your gathering instincts coming out
lmao in my gatherer era
Omg Too hot to handle by tessa bailey was SO BAD. Please do a reading vlog, they’re out to dinner and he’s driving so instead of wine the man orders a glass of MILK

oh priest by Serra Simone the hot dude cover with the guy's abs (no face) is soo hot tho! I read that one and the first one n I like both those hot dude covers! also love the books!
Ooh a football romance! It’s my favorite of the sports romances too.
I liked much ado about you too!
I’m like you I like the guy or couple on the covers, the cartoon covers they have no appeal to me.
atlas paradox was ass unfortunately. I didn't like the first all tht much but was intrigued enough n the follow up greatly disappointed.
Give me a hot guy cover anyday!!!
A book hail on books you have already read… so, not a book haul.
lmao i read these books months ago from my library/KU and then purchased the physical copies. still very much a book haul
Mariana Zapata is problematic! I know a lot of people like her but she’s not a good person!
Can you please talk just a little more slowly as I love listening to your content.......
there's a speed adjustment setting on all youtube videos! :)
You talk very fast. It feels like I’m rushing to catch up with you… 😅
