You might not need to hear this, but honestly don't be afraid to DNF books! Life is too short and TBR lists are too long to suffer through books you don't like 😂
You could make a tag on Libby and mark all of the books from your TBR that are available as audio, that way you can easily see what’s available on audio from your library while staying within the bounds of your challenge. Good luck, set yourself up for success!
So as a long time Laini Taylor fan I am thrilled to let you know she has JUST announced she has finished writing her first adult fantasy! No idea when we will know more or get to read it but it’s coming!!
Laini Taylor is in fact writing her first adult novel! It’s in the editing stages at the moment and we know nothing about it, but as someone who has been waiting the full 6 years since she last published…. I’m dying for more details! Glad you enjoyed strange the dreamer ❤
I have been trying to get through mine for at least 3 years and my TBR is down from 300+ to 48, I am getting serious this year and reading all of the rest of them! Good luck!
omg i remember strange the dreamer being everyone’s favorite book of the year in oldschool booktube! i checked it out from the library maybe 3 or 4x since and still haven’t ever finished it hahaha
Strange the Dreamer was my first ever ARC from a publisher for a review so it holds a special place in my heart. I’m so happy you liked it! You’re right, it was so unique for its time!
this is so great! i love the visual, but don't be afraid to unhaul the books you HATE. i would be getting rid of that 1 star so fast lol! Super glad you loved Strange the Dreamer. The sequel is really good and even though they are YA, I feel like the themes explored are more mature than a lot of other YA fantasy. I, too, am excited for what Laini Taylor writes next.
Sooo happy you enjoyed Twice Shy! I absolutely love that book, and there aren't enough people talking about Sarah Hogle. Highly recommend her other books as well!
I’m currently trying to read all my books too! I just want one bookcase as TBR and my other 2 bookcases to be favorite books. And utilize my library way more
I like this series, it's exciting to see what your going to read. It's also fun to see what you think after you finish it. Looking forward to the next video. 😊💜🦋
I absolutely cannot wait for you to read Wolfsong by TJ Klune! It is one of my favourite books ever! It is an absolutely beautiful coming of age story about friends, family and love. I hope you will love it as well. I annotated the shit out of it, even though I never ever write in books, with this one I had to. Keep up the good work!
Oh my goddess, I was only watching a video of yours last night where you mention your idea of your TBR Tackle! Yaaaay for another video. Also, well done for sticking to this for 10 years! 🥰🦋🦋
So glad you enjoyed strange the dreamer! I’m actually reading the hundred thousand kingdoms right now and I’m only about 100 pages in but it’s definitely intriguing. Also I JUST saw laini Taylor post something on her instagram about a book she just finished. I’m super hyped. Strange the dreamer is a top 10 favorite book for me lol
I want to read twice shy so bad and this made me even more excited!!! old flames and new fortunes by sarah hogle is my favorite romance i've read all year!!
At the start of the year, I’ve been using a random number generator each month to add 5 random books from my shelf to my TBR and if I don’t get to it that month, then I have to unhaul it. That, along with adding a lot of books that I want to read from my shelves onto my TBR regularly has gotten me down from 197 books on my unread shelves to 133 books now in June. A lot of the books I’ve been picking randomly, I’ve realized that I don’t really want to read anymore, so I’ll give them a few chapters and then DNF them. But I have found some super good books from my shelf so far this year as well.
I am trying to tackle my own TBR right now, so this video is good motivation. I enjoyed it and look forward to seeing you be successful in this endeavor. Hopefully, I will be also. 🦋
Love to see love for Laini Taylor. Laini Taylor's daughter of smoke and bone is my favorite series of all time. Every chapter makes you want to read the next one and it has 2 great romance side plots.
I’ve been getting so many good rec’s from you! I just finished Birding with Benefits and had so much fun, def another sweet cute romance so you might like it xox love the series!

Yes, I do this! It's handy when you need an audiobook in the moment and quickly check what's 'available now'

Yay! That’s exciting news
My TBR is sitting at 254 and this is the exact type of inspo that I need 😂 maybe once they're all out of storage🦋
I love that more people are doing videos like Shelve It or Scrap It! Obsessed with them! Cant wait to watch more
I’ve been waiting for this series ever since you mentioned it on your book unhaul videos. Im so excited to this new journey ✋🏾🥳🤚🏾
I’m living for this and Shelve It or Scrap It. You and Becca are inspiring me to quit buying books and start reading them.
I have been trying to get through mine for at least 3 years and my TBR is down from 300+ to 48, I am getting serious this year and reading all of the rest of them! Good luck!
Strange the Dreamer is one of my favs of all time I love it sooooo much 🦋
🦋 Laini actually has a really active Patreon with regular zoom calls if you really want to keep up with what she's doing.
I highly recommend Sarah Hogle’s debut “you deserve each other.” SO GOOD ❤🦋

My favorite by this author is her debut, You Deserve Each Other. 🦋
Been waiting for this series since the unhaul videos. Sounds like a fun idea. Happy reading!
I love strange the dreamer. It’s such a good book. I also agree that Laini Taylor should write an adult fantasy romance book. 🦋
I'm watching this now and loving it but oh my god this is going to be such a good series to binge when it's done.
I love your channel. This was such a fun reading vlog. You Desreve Each Other is my favorite book by Sarah Hogel.
So glad you're doing this series! I completely agree that 2024 releases have just not been hitting!! 🦋
🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 I loved this series, and now I love the recommendation of Twice Shy.
My TBR is around 50 and I seem to be unable to bring it down to zero. I hope your series will motivate me some more. :D Can't wait for Ep 2!
Might be my favorite start to new book related yt series!!! So entertaining, can't wait for next episode 💛☁️🤌🏽
This was so much fun! Can’t wait for more episodes in this series 🦋
I love this new series! I haven’t bought anything in a few months, and am trying to read my physical TBR too!
I'm doing something similar to that this year - my physical TBR in January was 127, so I made my reading goal 64 for this year. 31 down so far!
I am HERE for this series.
Kicking goals!! Love videos like this. 🦋
🦋 definitely feeling inspired to start tackling my own physical TBR!
This is so a good idea, i'm going to do the same, with my home libary, i have so many unread books. Love your video's, love from a Belgian fan 😊🦋
I absolutely cannot wait for you to read Wolfsong by TJ Klune! It is one of my favourite books ever! It is an absolutely beautiful coming of age story about friends, family and love. I hope you will love it as well. I annotated the shit out of it, even though I never ever write in books, with this one I had to. Keep up the good work!
Great video series! You inspired me to read more from my physical tbr. Also I love strange the dreamer ❤

My physical TBR is at 295 and this seems so daunting to me lol I’m amazed at you doing this challenge, you got this for the both of us💗💗
please read muse of nightmares omg! I thought it was even better than strange the dreamer and it offers a lot of backstory
I'm so curious to see what you'll be reading next 🦋😊 I need a good historical romance or romantasy.
Congratulations on a decade of being a booktuber! I also realize I am subscribed on your channel for a decade 😂❤🎉
I’ve also been meaning to read Stranger the Dreamer since it came out so maybe this will give me the push that I need🦋
I have maladaptive daydreaming and sounds like the FMC in Twice shy has it too
Offtopic but your videomaking and scripting skills have grown so much over the years🔥 (not in a backhanded compliment type of way)
Looking forward to the rest of this series! 🦋
Finally! Someone who gets my disdain for So Happy For You! 👏👏👏
I loved “So Happy For You.”What a wild book 🥹
Cool Challange ! And i love Strange the Dreamer 😍
Going all out with the physical wheel! Love it 🎡
