I think it would be so cool to keep a physical TBR counter(like you had in this video) in your videos so like whenever you do buy, read, or unhaul a book we can see the progress!
I met my partner when I was 15 through Myspace and we stayed friends through social media since we both had t-shirt brands at the time. We lived in different states and countries over the years and still chatted when we could.. Fast forward 14 years I became a single mom and he had a job that moved him to my county. Turned out he lived down the street from me (no prior knowledge) and now we have a house together raising my son for the last 5 years 😊
i really enjoy your reading vlogs and i can't wait to see your unhaul video! i need to go on a book buying ban too lol OUABH is the fantasy world i'd wanna go to because it seems so magical🥰
Unpacking would be a great cozy game to play! It’s short but the visual storytelling is really great, with you learning about how your characters life is going just based on where they are moving to and what they are unpacking. It’s really cozy and casual and I think you would like it!
I absolutely adore you and your channel!! constantly recommending your channel to my friends and this video just makes me want to read the entirety of my physical tbr! Xx
I like the way you expressed about your unhaul books…ie if they aren’t 5-star predictions, will I ever prioritize them? I found that a very motivational way to purge some 📚 off my own TBR shelf. Thank you!
We need this to be a series!!! Yesss. Also I can't wait to see what you unhaul! I think I would want to go to Hogwarts! My physical tbr is 9 books and I'm stressed haha. Both Free Little Library books, thrifted books and new books hahah, I do want to go on book buying ban, but I'm gonna wait a bit because there's books, I need for buddy reads and the first in a series, because the store only had the second book ahah
For cozy game recs, I recommend Disney Dreamlight Valley! I got it a month or so ago and I'm obsessed! You do quests for Disney characters! There's so much to do in the game as well. I also recommended Cozy Grove. You help ghost bears remember themselves and come to peace with how they are. Also, the book world I would want to go to is Percy Jackson. i would love to attend Camp Half-Blood! I would love for you to continue this video series!
Yes!! more videos like this please!! I love your videos. And it so so brave of you to go into the bookstore and not get any books! I am going to try to do that but with Target😂
I love this video to read your owned books first and not buy any new books. I think a lot of us bookslovers are in the same situation. And this video helps me to not buy any new book and first read all the books i own witch are 156 books 😅
Genuinely curious why you would rate a book you are dnfing when you didn’t read the whole thing? Also wouldn’t you rate it a 1 if you didn’t like it enough to not finish it haha
I think for me DNFs are either 1 or 2. 2 stars is like - I did not like it, but it;s personal, 1 stars I definitely have blood with the book haha. I guess it has range, you stop reading books for different reasons. Life's too short to force yourself to read book you're not liking. But if you read more than half of the book, you should be able to rate it.
Whether I DNF a book or don’t like it, I usually give it a 2 stars. Cause in the end of the day, it’s just not my cup of tea, and someone published a book, which is honestly something they should be able to be happy about.
@@Miss_Creepy_As_Hell for me 2 stars, I don't like but I finish it. 1 is pure trash. I usually rate only finish it, or at least I read 80% of that book.
@@Space.Panda1805 if it’s illegible I would give it 1 star. If I absolutely hate something, I could negotiate a 1 star. It really just depends on the book and luckily I haven’t read anything that bad yet.
@@jessicajessica4392 that makes sense. Though idk how you could fairly rate a book without finishing it. Think about a book that had a major twist at the 90% mark, what would you have rated it at the 50%? Probably a non accurate rating to what you would’ve rated it if you finished it.
I’d absolutely love to be in Acotar world Velaris oh my god!! Even if I’m so not cut out for a fantasy world a girl could dream right 😂 loved the vid and it’ll be a great series
It’s sooo hard to pick just one 😭 I think Powerless might be my fav book of 2024 so far. Other all time faves: Beach Read & ACOTAR. Those books made me fall in love with the romance & fantasy genre so they’ll always have a special place in my heart and they’re both SO good.
@@JustAli OMG, yes I LOVE Acotar and Powerless and I can agree. They’re actually the best books I’ve ever read. I also reread Harry Potter and it really got a lot of memories from when I was a child.🫶🏻📚✨
I also have a lot of books on my TBR. For a little while, I was going to Goodreads and sorting my books from lowest rating to highest and then I would go back and forth, reading the lowest and the highest -- because what some readers may not like, I might enjoy. Anyway, it did provide a way for me to unhaul some of those lower rated books since I generally tended to agree, but not always.
i know you said that you love powerless and i’m a little over 100 pages in and i think it’s already 5 stars and i never gives books 5 stars. when we braided her hair…AHHHHH. “i’m kai but you already knew that.” OMFGGGG
LITERALLY SO GOOD! All those little moments like the hair braiding and the things he says. I still can’t stop thinking about that book 😭💗🫶🏻 so happy you’re loving it
The Naturals is one of my favorite series! I can't wait to see your reactions to twists in books 3 & 4! And I would love to visit the fictional town of Haverport CT from the Scoops trilogy by K. Sinko! The beaches, ice cream shop, bakery, cafes, friend group, summer fun...
Oh cozy games! This is my milieu, here's a few options, -Blanco: my partner and I played this on Valentine's Day, it's short and requires two plays -It takes two: also needs two players -bugsnax: you literally go around taking pictures of bugs that look like food -dave the diver: catch fish by day, turn it into sushi at night -dreamlight valley: Disney animal Crossing -dragons quest builders 2: Minecraft with a story -islanders: I don't know how to describe this -jumping joe and friends- looks stupid but it's so fun - Minecraft: what can I say that hasn't been said -new pokemon snap: I haven't played much of this because I get bad motion sickness and this game triggers me - slime ranchers: pokemon but they're slime - spiritfarer: you will turn into a puddle of water from crying -stardew valley: which is the cozy king and reigns above all others - I didn't include animal Crossing because I don't like it
I would live in Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls, it always was the epitome of a small town/village to me and reminds me so much of the village my mom grew up in that I've always loved.
This is why I love my kindle. If I’m not into a book I dnf and delete it. I don’t have to feel guilt about not finishing a book I purchased because I personally choose to download epub files so all my books are free.
1:48 cute kitty! My. Physical TBR is manageable it is all the cheap downloads on my Kindle that I am not feeling. I subscribed to an email and was able to score a lot of 99 cent books or free books. I have since unsubscribed realizing I was never going to read all of them.
I love the Naturals series!! Random but there's a new show called High Potential that's kinda similar vibes and I'm really enjoying it so I'd recommend it!
whenever you keep saying Dean i just think of Supernatural (Im old) I had to take a break from Colide to (Get this) Get my copy of Maple Hills (book 3) and I got it yesterday in 51 pages, and I just started it yesterday! Thatś amazing for me! I already finished one book in September, can I finish 2 or 3 this month?!
Everything you were feeling about a novel love story is how I felt about the dead romantics. The build up to the relationship was nonexistent and was like a week?? So I'm not gonna read any other Ashley poston books despite the plot sounding interesting 😭 I also wouldn't recommend the pairing by Casey McQuiston unless you know a lot of French and Italian and are into French and Italian foods. I don't know any so it was really hard for me to be invested in the storyline. And then I didn't like how one of the characters is just absolutely perfect like totally put on a pedestal and that is just unrealistic, everyone has flaws.
I have a long TBR list as well, I was thinking about reading shorter novels first, like below 350 pages, or standalone books before I end up having to get the rest of a series if I end up liking the first book. At least that's what I was planning, then I ended up picking up Red Rising 😅 Also Animal Crossing New Horizons is peak coziness on the Switch, or simulation games in general like Rune Factory or Story of Seasons.
That’s a smart way to go about it! But I feel you on picking up red rising😅 I haven’t read that one yet But I’m also always not sticking to my book plans haha. And thank you for the game recs! I love animal crossing but haven’t heard of the other two! I’ll check those out!!!
this sounds random, but does anyone know how to get the counter she used on notion for tracking he physical tbr? ive looked everywhere and cant find it (p.s i just found this channel recently, and Abi always brings the vibes)
😍🥰😘😇😉😊 I just started collect some books allways ben interested into it still gonna collect some in future and I use 2 hate books now I do love. reading it is fun use imagination like watch movie so so much fun and adventure
your videos are just perfect, even the background music is such a vibe 😆🫶 I would love to live in the inheritance games world in hawthorne house, that would be a dream 😍
I think it would be so cool to keep a physical TBR counter(like you had in this video) in your videos so like whenever you do buy, read, or unhaul a book we can see the progress!
have 200+ books in your physical tbr is not a problem, its a dream ❤✨😍
Your blue and white Bow cardigan is to die for!!! So adorable! 😍🎀

I’m sorry, but whenever you keep saying Dean, I keep saying that you’re talking about Gilmore girls, but you’re not 😂

I don’t know if you’ll read this or care but my brothers name is Dean so it’s so weird saying I love dean from Gilmore Girls or from the book series
I was thinking that too
And I think of Dean Winchester 😂😅
@@07_Kitten is that the Dean from the book?
Another similar fun idea is : reading the books that have been on my physical tbr the longest! :)
I don't have quite that many unread books, but I do have quite a few. I have a reading system, so I'll get to them in time. It just takes a while.

I just read Caraval and I really enjoyed it! But I think id want to be in the world of The Night Circus 😊 Btw your hair is so pretty!
I would definitely want to live in the Harry Potter world✨

I found Ali a few weeks ago and I have loved her content so much and have been binding her videos!
Team Dean forever
Realll❤
For life❤
love your videos they make my day
For cozy game recs, I recommend Disney Dreamlight Valley! I got it a month or so ago and I'm obsessed! You do quests for Disney characters! There's so much to do in the game as well. I also recommended Cozy Grove. You help ghost bears remember themselves and come to peace with how they are. Also, the book world I would want to go to is Percy Jackson. i would love to attend Camp Half-Blood! I would love for you to continue this video series!
You have inspired me to go through and organize my physical TBR. Thank you! ❤
Yes!! more videos like this please!! I love your videos. And it so so brave of you to go into the bookstore and not get any books! I am going to try to do that but with Target😂
When you were describing Wild is the Witch it immediately gives me Serpent and Dove vibes. You need to read it!
love serpent and dove series ❤
Yay! I love when Ali posts!!😆😁
Buying books and reading them are simply separate hobbies.
I love this video to read your owned books first and not buy any new books. I think a lot of us bookslovers are in the same situation. And this video helps me to not buy any new book and first read all the books i own witch are 156 books 😅
Oohh I see Dungeons and Drama on your tbr. It is soo cutee, I think you’re gonna love it!❤
0:26 yay go haley!!!

Hey Ali, what did you use to track your physical TBR in 7:32 ?
apparently she says its on goodreads!
@@iveluvz Hm, alright, thank you!
I don’t even want to think about how many physical books are on my TBR…
Oh cozy games! This is my milieu, here's a few options,
-Blanco: my partner and I played this on Valentine's Day, it's short and requires two plays
-It takes two: also needs two players
-bugsnax: you literally go around taking pictures of bugs that look like food
-dave the diver: catch fish by day, turn it into sushi at night
-dreamlight valley: Disney animal Crossing
-dragons quest builders 2: Minecraft with a story
-islanders: I don't know how to describe this
-jumping joe and friends- looks stupid but it's so fun
- Minecraft: what can I say that hasn't been said

- slime ranchers: pokemon but they're slime
- spiritfarer: you will turn into a puddle of water from crying
-stardew valley: which is the cozy king and reigns above all others
- I didn't include animal Crossing because I don't like it
Could you do a video of what you unhauled?
I love this video and your cardigan is so cute! ❤❤
The way my anxiety went sky high with the cup on the bed... and then a lighted candle?!
Girl I love your videos so much you literally got me into reading🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕
Omg I need to do this I have like 150 on my shelves and even more on my kindle😂😭😭😭
Definitely team Dean I am all for the “bad boy” 😂😂
I started following u when u had about 25 books. I enjoy your commentary
I absolutely LOVE the Naturals series but I am a team Michael gurlie. I love that man!
Wooo yay for progress!!🎉
The books by Kathleen Glasgow are such good emotional books, dont unhaul them!! For me they were all a 5star ❤
Your blue cardigan is so freaking cute and it looks amazing on you, where did you get it plss?
1000% a team Michael girl!!! but i’m on Killer Instinct now so we’ll see if that changes!!! 💜

Owning 200+ unread books.. 😂yep, I can relate to that as well
Definitely play Spiritfarer, it’s my fav cozy game. Heartwarming and heartbreaking all in one
Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons were Stardew Valley before Stardew Valley. Love those games (they even have a bit of a fantasy twist).
