"Patroclus is there too... Zeus?!?!" took me OUT
the woman was too stunned to speak
"sometimes I think I'm too gay for hetero romance" too true queen 🤣
it's rough out here
"When the moon and the tides are right there MIGHT be a trigger." 🤣💀
Your unhauls are my favorite! I discovered your channel thru one of your unhauls. The way to touch every book and think through why you should or should not keep it is such a good and practical method!
being allergic to emotional romances is sooooo relatable!!
right like im not here to cry
As someone who is not a Romantasy reader at all. I really enjoyed Gild, and then was blown away by how much better the following books in the series are. The first book isn't terrible (I'd say a solid 3 stars!), and the series just gets better.
it doesnt really have to do with the video but your presence and smile is so calming and comforting 💞
thank you!!!!
you won't regret keeping Foundryside! it is excellent.
Gild! You should try it, it's so good!! The first book isn't bad at all it's just a slow burn romance.
I hope you get The Heart Principle in paperback and read it, because it was the best one. I feel like I'm not alone in that opinion! She really leveled up. There is a lot of mental health stuff, though, as the MC is learning that she is autistic, so it isn't a fluffy read like the other two.
It's also her most personal one. That's why she put the female lead's POV in first instead of third person.
I can’t even begin to describe the relief I felt when you went over the shelf of books you were still interested in reading, with two of my faves on it 😮💨
Gothikana is such a vibe. I honestly think you should give it a try, especially in the fall.
I love the way you go through your shelves to every book and just move everything along the shelves to fill in the spaces. I wish I could do this. However, I tend to keep my shelves up to date as I go hahaha. Also I'm scared of unhauling a gem just because I don't give it the attention it might need lol
I unhaul as I finish books. Basically did it make me feel something and would I want to reread it in the future. It's probably for content but I don't understand keeping low rated books. I guess it's like beauty creators, they keep the empties for a while to talk about
i'm loving this series sooo much!
You should do a reading vlog of all the books that were *almost* unhauled.
Just popping in here to say this since I have no other social media: GIRL I READ STILL BEATING!
I wanted to read it in one sitting after it captivated me so badly but oh well but work happened. Wished to be able to call in sick and just read it but I couldn`t. I took it with me to work tho (a first timer) just to have it near me lol. It was SO good omfg. I finished it in 2 days which is wild for me! (usually a good book takes me if I am fast a week)
I have my own "Riley recommended books which are now my fav books" shelf and I have so many more on my phyical tbr which I just bought because of how you talked about them. Do I know what they are about? No, but i turst you blindly by now.
I even ordered a book you were talking about in previous videos (The World Gives Way) with two of my buddy read friends to start soon. I nudged them to read a recommendation by you without them knowing hahaha
The heart principle was my favorite of the series but I'm glad that you are unhauling your shelves
Please give Gild a try!! The series is absolutely amazing ❤
Twice Shy is really cute. Sarah Hogle writes some of my fave romance. I've enjoyed all of the books by here I've read so far and the romances all have different dynamics. She even managed to weave in natural feeling magic into her Christmas romance (which is a bit like a Halmark movie, but sometimes you just need cheese and wholesome, you know).
I would make an argument for The Heart Principle except you don't really like to cry when reading romance and that book made me violently sob :O But it's the Helen Hoang book I related to the most - I really saw myself in the FMC and it also had themes of being a caregiver for a family member in hospice and how emotionally taxing that could be and I really related to that too. Beautiful 3rd book in that series, but it is quite emotional and powerful, that's for sure!
The Bargainer Series is SO GOOD! I gave every book 5 stars and also the first 2 books+novella are available on audible plus
Amour Amour is so good!!! One of my favorite romances ever. Don't let the circus element throw you off, it's a sports romance more akin to gymnastics or figure skating than like whimsical circus setting. The characters are both really passionate about their craft and it's a slow burn of mutual trust and admiration leading up to them falling in love
Love this series!!
You're saving yourself so much time unhauling Gothikana. I made a spoiler vlog for it back in February, and that's hours of my life and pieces of my sanity I'm never getting back 😂I don't think Bramble even bothered to edit it after they acquired it
I'm so glad you kept Foundryside, I loved that series a lot.
I really loved Gild by Raven Kennedy! I'd recommend trying it.
I’ve read a lot of Lucy score but not the one you kept haha. Highly recommend The Worst Best Man (funny chaotic best man/maid of honor romance but the groom gets kidnapped) and Rock Bottom Girl are my faves !
Seeing A River Enchanted in the thumbnail makes me so worried 😢 I loved that duology so much, the magical island setting just swept me away in the best way
Keep By A Thread - that one surprised me in a good way and the angst and sexual tension jeezz I loved it! I hope you like the rest of the Royally series by Emma Chase ❤️
Great unhaul series ☕📚🫖🍄🌷
Oh interesting about Foundryside! I just finished it and it was an okay book, fascinating world building but a little slow. It does have a sapphic undertone but it’s so small I personally wouldn’t pick up Foundryside for the romance specifically. I hope you like it but I’m not sure you will, a wild card for sure!
Edit: oooooo I’m so excited for you to get to Wolfsong, it was one of my faves of last year!
nooooooo keep Gild!! The first one isn't bad but its just not the best in the series but its SO WORTH IT
I tried a bunch of those "a blank and blank" fantasy books in April. I DNf'd most of those but with two series I'm going to continue. The first one is K.A. Tucker's fantasy series Fate & Flame, which you unhauled 😂. It's actually really good. And the other one is Stacia Stark's series Kingdom of Lies.
I just ate up A Fellowship of Bakers and Magic, I absolutely loved it!
I read Someday Someday a year or two ago and really enjoyed it 😊
lol me screaming: “keep the people covers too!!” You: “I don’t need multiple copies of the same book” me: buuuuut
The Wisteria Society for Lady Scoundrels was one of the first romance books I ever loved? But tbh I mostly love it because it's exactly my sense of humor, the book is really hit and miss with people but I'm one of the ones it's a hit for, lol.
I didn't like the second book at all, but thought you'd be interested in the third in the series (which I also really liked) because of the autism rep :)
I loved Gild! Give it a try!
Deal with the Elf king by Elise Kova is SO GOOD! At least I thought so. It's my favourite of her married to magic novels. I hope you adore it as much as I didi!
Thank you for doing this series because I picked up The Prey of Gods by Nicky Drayden and it my first 5 star of 2024 and I don't thimk I would of found it without seeing the first unhaul you did.
I think you might actually like The Rose. Basically the magical cup lets her go into a shared fantasy with her partner. So, it’s one MMC, but all of the spicy scenes are them as different characters from Greek mythology.
is the fallen world series a lot smutty/spicy? im curious about it bc its post apocalytpic dytopian but i checked it on goodreads and it doesnt say anythin about it bein spicy etc so not sure.. but im not into a lot of spice/smut in my books and when the whole plot is that.but i do like romance in it
Work for it by thalia hibbert is an absolute gem 👌
As for On the Island by Tracey Garvis Graves - Idk if you will like it but I love it. I rarely read books with a heroine who’s older.
The Roommate is spicy tho. Twice Shy is better than You Deserved Each Other
You are brutal love it!
If you like the original covers of the Twisted series you should keep them. You never know when you'll find the last one used somewhere.
I dnfed alot this year too😅 i did enjoy Gild
'Someday, Someday' and 'What We May Be' are pretty good books.
@8:56 I’m cackling so much 😂😂
Love your outfit
I read the first three in the Royally series by Emma Chase and book 3 is my favorite. I fell off with contemporary romance so I haven’t read book 4 or the sort of spin off even though I own them. I’ve considered rereading them too. I think those didn’t get the attention they deserved.
Guild by Raven Kennedy is not bad. The relationship between the king’s courtesans are the highlight of it. Don’t know why people don’t like it
I agree. I liked the first book. I think I struggled with Glow. Each to their own 😊
@@chickstick exactly ☺️
there is a sapphic hadesXpersephone dark romance called "captive in the underworld", maybe you would like that
RILEY please read Whispers of the Deep by Emma Hamm. I NEED to hear your thoughts!
I would say Gild isn’t bad but it’s just fine 🤷🏼♀️ the world is very interesting and the series has a lot of potential
For someone that has english as a second language, what does Arc stand for when it comes to books?
It means advance reader copy. publishers/author send books to select people before the book is published. So that they read and review it and create a buzz for it.
@@nasimanabestani396 thank you!
"What do you mean I have to read a whole book that's bad just to maybe get to a book I like?" I think I'd just try starting with book 2. How confusing can it really be? (another video idea? 😁)
Keep the people covers of The Twisted Love series!!
that teacher student romance excerpt????????? HELLO????
amour amour is family dynamics excelleence
Fast and fun.
A river endless and the second book to it were the most beautiful books I’ve read in a long time they are my current all time favorites
As a straight woman bad liar description is not apealing either
If only I could adopt some of your books but I live in the Philippines lmfao
Okay but… prisoner kinda sounds good👀
Gothikana is so bad you made the right choice
The Roommate is really quite good and not what you think imo.
’Til Death do us Bard’ was such a disappointment. The most interesting part was the main couple and they are apart for the whole book. Also the side characters are bizarre and not in a good way.
I did mean to say on the last unhaul, I also didn’t like the first Freya Marske book but the second one is a sapphic locked room mystery and is genuinely worth a read.
I read wolfsong and wish I did not. The age gap is too large for the ages of the characters for no reason. One of the mains is 17 and the other is early twenties when they first kiss. I also just did not connect with the characters during the second half of the book
Omg dm if you can’t find anywhere to mail the initiation 👀👀👀👀 I’ll gladly take it 😂
Does someone know why she no longer supports some of these authors ? What are the controversies to see if I should also do the same? 🙏🙏
🖤🌹🖤🌹🖤🌹🖤🌹🖤
Can I buy the Dare from you?
To have and to hoax isn't good, I would unhaul it. Polaris Rising was good.
9:02 NSFW warning, but this was the funniest thing 😂😂😂
Decided to subscribe at "I'm too gay for hetero romance" because same. Every time I read a dark romance I text my straight friends like "are you guys okay? I have concerns."
katee robert abandoning the sabine series to just focus on those traditionally published greek god books was a reason i stopped reading her
Monica James books are written so poorly 🫢
girl just go ahead and get rid of the bargainer series because it's trash compared to her other series. also i think you will LOVE parallel and the entire series.
I disagree. I want clown romance to be a thing.
Zeus tracks 😂🦢
