In today's video, I do a HUGE book unhaul. I'm moving soon so it was time to clear the shelves! I do a couple rounds of unhauling and try a chapter of a few books to help me decide if they should stay or go.

I love Jennifer McMahon. The Drowning Kind was one of my recent favorite ghost stories.
You should definitely read “Behind Closed doors”!! You think it’s just a normal domestic thriller until the end, the twist is INSANE. I didn’t see it coming at all. It’s also a quick read so I’d give it a try :)
Okay good I was worried it was going to be more of a “suspense” without a twist but that makes me more excited for it!
Same! It was one of my first thrillers and got me shook, got me into the genre!
Always love a good unhaul. Decluttering always feels so satisfying! ☺
Empire of the vampire book is sooooo beautiful!! That book cover! 😍😍😍
I loved Behind Closed Doors. Fast paced, good read, satisfying ending. I’m actually going to re read it.
I’ve had my eye on six of crows! It’s sounds so good
Good for you!! I have such trouble Unhauling but I know what you mean about the mental health aspect!!
After reading my first Jennifer McMahon book this winter and really liking it, I think her book covers do the books a disservice. They look like something that they’re not.
Do not judge her books by their cover! They’re well-written and way more fun than they look.
Bravo Ashley ... I'm going to do this. I appreciate the warning, you kept some and never read them. I'm going with my gut instinct thanks to you.
I think you'll like The Winter People. It's the best of Jennifer McMahon, in my opinion. That's the best one of hers to start with
Omigosh I was thinking you were going to go with the Liane Moriarty book.
What! The Drowning Kind is so good & The Winter People is one of my favorite thrillers. 😯
The Diviners I definitely recommend on audio if you do ever try it. The full cast is so good!
Shadow & Bone is nothing like Six of Crows. I’m so sad you’re unhauling so many faves 😂
hahaha so sorry Liv 😂 I just had to live my truth & accept I'm not in my fantasy era anymore (maybe it will come back around one day!)
Good for you for doing this. Behind Closed Doors was a good read. I enjoyed this book
I promise you winter people is THE BESSSTTTTTTT BOOK!!!!!!
The Winter People and The Soulmate Equation are both great books. Hope you enjoy them.
Im not done watching the video but I paused it after part 1 where you didn't pick the Liane Moriarity book and the whole time I was thinking "dont pick it, don't.pick.it." lol There isn't anything wrong with it per se but tttt it wasn't great and it was a little anti climatic and I'm pretty sure when I read it I skipped to the end to just even see what happened because it was just so boring for me. I read Big Little Lies and The Husband's Secret and loved them both so I was excited for this but it just wasn't up to par. Okay.. moving on to the rest of the video, just had to say it while I was thinking about it lol
I'm glad you kept Soulmate Equation I don't usually read romance and I absolutely loved it.
good to hear!
True Crime Story was an interesting idea, I think it’s so much better as an audiobook, I couldn’t imagine physically reading it. It’s the kind of book where everything comes together, but 80% of the book I’m wondering why are we getting all this information? I think this book is for someone that wants to read about a nonfiction writer investigating a crime and writing about it, I don’t see it as a mystery to solve. It’s not a book that I would say no don’t unhaul!!
If you like The Winter People though maybe eventually you’ll check out The Drowning Kind. With that book I read some, and put it down for a while, picked it back up, then switched to audio. It was great, I think it was my mood. However I’m so glad I finished it as it really did creep me out. Her books are historical, but it’s just because the timelines are farther back than say the 80s, and it adds to it because it creates a lore. I found the lore in The Drowning Kind totally satisfying. If you’ve watched The Haunting of Bly Manor I think that’s a good comparison, not the whole format of the show, but the idea of people now being effected by something that happened in the past and learning about that something, and being creeped out. I think that’s something interesting newer shows and novels have done, instead of just ghosts, those ghosts become real people with real stories..maybe that’s always been done and I haven’t read enough old books but I certainly appreciate it now.
Good luck on your move!
During the Pandemic I was living in Maine and did not go out of the house for 2 years.. Most of the days were spend in bed. suffer from depression and anxiety. I just kept ordering books.
Finally I had to move back to Kansas, but has to get rid of over 100 books.
The Saturday Night Ghost Club is a fav!
That Flyaway edition is so pretty I wouldn’t have been able to let go😩😩
I know right!
Okay so part two, I really loved Six of Crows (It's a duo book btw Crooked Kingdom is the second book) however it isn't for everyone and it's sort of a intermediate fantasy book. Also after I read all of the ACOTAR books everryoneee was like go read Throne of Glass series, it's SO much better than the other series, and so I went and so far I've read the first two books and I know I'll probably get hate from someone if they see this and love the series but it just...wasn't for me, lol. It's got some good parts, it was good enough to keep my attention but when I repeatedly keep picking other books to read and finish that's when I know it's time to let it go and I just recently DNF'd the series. However I'll always love ACOTAR. (I didn't enjoy Crescent City either, sorry! Lol) And finally Behind Closed Doors needs a trigger warning, it deals heavily with domestic abuse and considering some of your other blogs I don't think you're really into that. For me personally it's a top tier book, I loved it and it was very twisty. I too liked another book from the same author also. Okay, sorry Im long winded haha
I think unhauling The New Wilderness was a good choice. It was fine, but was it worth the dense writing style? Eh, not really.
Oof I DNFd The Diviners 😬 I know it’s well-loved but not for me. Glad I’m not the only one who hasn’t read it!
Hummingbird Salamander has such a pretty cover!! 😍😍
I guessed that you would keep A Touch of Jen!! Curious if you’ll end up liking that one 👀
I saw you grab Throne of Glass and I died a little inside 😫💔
I’m really glad you decided to keep Loveless, it’s such a good book 💜
I still have A Touch of Jen sitting on my shelves too, so I’m going to need you to tell me if it’s worth it or not.
Will do! Hoping to get to it in the next 2 months sometime
Any chance you live near Lincoln, NE? I'm interested in a few 9f these books 👀
Haha I do not but I will be listing these on my Pangobooks account in a few weeks after I finish my move and get settled. I’ll share my account then so anyone can shop my books!
@@ashleyslittlelibrary uhh that’s interesting! Definitely keep us posted!!
I honestly loved six of crows when I was like 14 but when I recently reread it I was a little disappointed. The characters feel kinda shallow, there’s some interesting concepts that just don’t get explored as much as I’d like … I still think it’s a good book, it just feels very young
I unhauled so many books that I definitely will never read and it felt so great!
Um yes, would love that copy of empire of the vampire. 😂
it will be on my Pangobooks store in a few weeks once I finish my move and get back up and running 👀
Dear Ashley, Gabby loves loveless and it’s one of her favourite books. I think it’s about an A sexual person x
I read Behind Closed Doors on Kindle Unlimited and it was alright. Read like a movie because of how dramatic and villainous the husband is. It's not that triggering because of that.
Behind Closed Doors is my favorite thriller of all time!
The Dream Daughter has been my favorite read of the year. Some of the book is in 1970s but a lot of it is set in the 2000s so it really doesn’t read like his fic. Also it has time travel elements! Highly recommend.
Kill Creek was very wordy and there are better haunted house thrillers so you didn’t miss out on that one
🗑
Thank you for helping me decide on kill creek. I’ve been flip flopping on it forever. 🗑
So umm...that Empire of The Vampire....lol how can I take that off your hands? I'd love a copy of it 😭
I’ll be selling it on my Pangobooks store when I get it back online in a few weeks after I finish moving! I’ll make a post on her sharing my store when it’s up 😊
I really want to read A Touch of Jen
All I can say is that Ashley you have me crying 😭 please please don’t unhaul your books 📚 love you and your amazing channel love your family friend John xxxxx
Do you have a pango book account you’re unhauling these on?
I do! But I’m currently in the middle of a big move so it’s currently inactive. I will be re-setting it up in a few weeks once I get settled & unpacked (I’ll share an update on my community tab so people can shop it!)
Thanks
I unhaul books and give them to little free libraries
Don’t sleep on Jennifer McMahon! She’s got some really good ones out there!
Smart choice to unhaul Fool Me Once. I read it this month and it was WAY too political for me. And yeah The Invisible Husband of Frick Island....it could have been so good. Sadly, it was not. 🗑
Actually, it's Ashley's "big" library 😄 unhauling. Kill Creek is my favourite book Ashley don't break my heart😉 please give it a chance!! 🗑
Soooo I read Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins and it was fantastic! I read it all in one day, haha. I admit I did give it a 4 out of 5 purely for my own reason which was it had a -lot- of swearing and Im just not into that. There was so much swearing it could have been its own character lol HOWEVER Overall I absolutely loved the book and I will reread it again.
I recently read “Behind Closed Doors” you may not like the “relationship” but it’s just a fast paced fun thriller! I’m glad I gave it a chance it’s exactly what i want from a thriller. 🗑
The Grisha series is great, but I hate Six of Crows.
I also hated The Cruel Prince haha, I’m not a fantasy girl either. I do enjoy Throne of Glass, but the rest of the series is not as enjoyable to me!
🗑🗑🗑🗑🗑🗑🗑 The trash can emoji! LOL! So funny. What method are you using to get rid of your books- do you have a Pango books account?
I do! It's currently on hold since I'm moving and will need to set up a new PO box, but I'll share it out once it's back up again. I also use Little Free Libraries & sell/donate to used book stores
@@ashleyslittlelibrary- You can probably make some good money selling those special editions from Illumicrate or whichever book box that was. Especially that copy of Empire of the Vampire. i don't even read fantasy but that shit is niiiiiiice.
@@kimt3864 I sure hope so because they were EXPENSIVE
@@ashleyslittlelibrary- You could get up to $300 for that. That is what they are currently going for online. You might even want to go ebay instead of Pango because they have a bigger audience. I am not sure.
@@ashleyslittlelibrary -OR, you just might want to hold onto it because it is only going to get more rare. I am not sure when the optimal time to sell that would be. I think he has about 100K followers online. I am not sure how that stacks up against other authors but it seems high. Hopefully he won't do anything problematic again. May decrease the value of it.
"The Winter People" was the only book that ever hooked me from the very first sentence...it actually creeped me out a lot as well. I really enjoyed "The Drowning Kind" as well bc I love spooky books with a water theme.
Kill Creek is really good for spooky season!! Behind Closed Doors is good and the ending is satisfying!!
I agree! I really enjoyed Kill Creek. Good creepy story, I loved the different horror writers in the story.
Dear Ashley, would you consider a Q & A? I would like to ask if you have any brothers and sisters
sure! I've done one once before and I'll often answer questions in my live shows if you ever catch those and want to ask a question. To answer that one, nope! I'm an only child :)
I really enjoyed behind closed doors and everyone who I let borrow the book also loved it and read it super fast. But I don't think you should read it, I really don't think you will like it. The husband is a bit like a caricature and reminds me of the husband from Near The Bone because he's just such an over the top villain. There's also animal cruelty in there just to let you know in case you're bothered by that.
Ahhhh yep that sounds like exactly what I like to avoid 🤦🏻♀️ thanks for letting me know!
Umm..gabby did liked 'kill creek'
🗑 ❤️
Kill Creek was not my thing at all. Scott Thomas seems to have a really weird dislike for Fat people that seems to rear its head in that book.
Yikes yeah that’s what I’ve heard from the bad reviews I’ve seen 😬
