I've been in the literal pit of despair lately, as you know, and seeing your face and watching your video was a welcomed distraction. 💛 happy you were able to do some fall cleaning.
This vid has proved to be so cathartic. I agree completely with your thoughts on Riley Sager and Simone St. James. You've helped me not feel so guilty about DNFing bad books as well as unhauling junk that just takes up space and makes me feel ookey. Thank you for your therapy session!!
i really loved the anthropocene reviewed! it's nonfiction, not YA fiction like his other stuff. a lot of the essays made me feel like a peeled grape, but tbh i would suggest the audiobook (or the podcast - the book is mainly transcripts of the podcast). if you're not a nonfiction girlie, there's a short excerpt from it on youtube if you look up his essay on the song "aud lang syne" and i found it really moving. it's a good taste test for the rest of it and i highly rec that vid!
I love that just the smell (along with that gorgeous cover) convinced you to keep 'Firestarter' by Stephen King. 😂I ADORE the smell of really old, musty books... and I am fully aware of how weird that sounds, but the smell just hits differently. It's somehow soothing to the soul! Love this video! 🖤
Great unhaul I was the same way years ago when I hated a book but wanted to cover keep it lol never again. I do a new conclusion where if the books I rate 3 stars and under I donate..4 and 5 stars I keep 📚☕🦇💀🎃🕸️🕷️
Me too! We have no where good to sell books in Canada. I donate my paperback books to an organization that distribute books to prisons but for the hardcovers i end up holding on to them.
I remmeber once upon a time my ex got legit pissed at me for donating and giving books away. This video makes me feel so vindicated, so thank you so much. ♡
Unmasked was so good. It didn’t read like non fiction at all. I liked Hide, but I’m glad I got it from the library. I borrowed The Hacienda from the library, read about 30 pages and was bored. I returned it without finishing it. If you set up a store, I would definitely buy from you.
This seems like a good idea, but a lot of public libraries are already short on space and they end up donating the books anyway. Very few are kept. In my experience anyway. Maybe it’s different in Canada ❤
I cry over All the White Spaces but I always knew it may not connect with you in the same way. I hope you find it a good home with someone it will speak to!!
Hey Jordaline! I have some books which if I haven’t read by this time next year, I’m going to get rid of them. They are romances, literary fiction and memoirs. Thank you for the Video! Always love to see you bb! ❤❤❤
“I hated this. Who wants to buy it”. 😂 Your mileage may vary is definitely a good mantra to live by. I may not always feel the same way, but I always appreciate your intelligent, thoughtful, and dishy reviews ❤️ I definitely recommend The Anthropocene Reviewed but on audio. It has extra content. He rates random things like an online review. He gave Canada Geese 1 star. Have to agree that the cobra chicken is not all that.
Late to the party but that "Book of Cold Cases" is not representative of Simon St. James. I read it twice because I hated it the first time and thought I was being too hard on it. Can't get above three stars. All of her other novels were four and five stars for me.
How much would it be to send Where They Wait, Whisper Down the Lane, Just Like Mother, What Moves the Dead and Reckless Girls to Australia? cause it is insanely expensive to buy them as hardcovers here and I really want them!! haha
If you sell any of these on etsy you know I'd probably check it out and maybe purchase some depending on what the shipping is between our provinces. At least this is a win for us Canadians who can never purchase books from an unhaul haha
That's exactly how I felt about The Hacienda but I can't articulate why I didn't really like it. I think the pacing was weird? Like, spoilers maybe, but the haunted stuff starts happening super early, and the stakes don't really get any higher. Like, the sense of danger feels the same throughout? It ratchets up really high but then stays there and just drags. Also the characters didn't feel like real people at all, and I definitely didn't buy their romance because what was there to like about each other? They don't really have personalities.
Olivia sells her books, could you ask her what it is called? Definitely open a store though to get rid of all your books and get at least some money back.
I loved Verity it was good I have to admit. I have heard so many people moan about Killer Vacation I have been waiting for ages for a copy of Summer Sons, Inwas meant to be sent a copy and am still waiting
Immediately liked this video from all the fluffy flattering. Love you, "would totally date you if I wasn't in a long term relationship" you too girl, you too 😏❤😘
Have you read to Whisper down the lane? I just listened to it free on audible and it was.... intense in an s.a. type of way, with kids accusations. Plus the satanic panic Era. Idk if most people can handle that stuff. I can't remember what I rated it but it was a 3 at least
For some reason Colleen continues to be problematic. Like things are still coming out. Yet people continue to let it slide because they like her. Like her books aren’t even that amazing 🥲.
We do love an unhaul. And we surely adore Miss Jordaline
Bless you for saying If We Were Villians wasn't any good. I rly thought I was the only one on that one.
"I got this pumpkin....at the fucking pumpkin patch BITCH!" lmaooooooo I. LIVE.
I got rid of my entire collection in 2015. Now I've settled down, I'm slowly buying back all the books I gave away. Books will ruin me...
I've been in the literal pit of despair lately, as you know, and seeing your face and watching your video was a welcomed distraction. 💛 happy you were able to do some fall cleaning.
Me too. Crappy disappointment in life.

I tried to read sundown motel by Simone st james and wow that was cringe and eyeroll central. Did not finish.

I am so happy you kept Firestarter...I've never read it either...but that cover? Stunning.
I love book unhauls bc they inspire me to do the same, and I’m glad I stumbled across yours; instant subscribe love the vibes haha
He was in and out like my father was😂😂 felt that
I think having it on my shelf would be a curse. 😂😂 I’m screaming lmao I love that
Some books be like that
I loved the Vegetarian! It just hit perfectly for me. The writing!! 😍
Thanks for all your videos. They get my mind off such the crap going on.
the way you said that the ending to Out was f'ed up and weird... sounds perfect and going on the tbr list now haha
PangoBooks now sells in Canada ❤
For real? It says that the app is not available
Great unhaul I was the same way years ago when I hated a book but wanted to cover keep it lol never again. I do a new conclusion where if the books I rate 3 stars and under I donate..4 and 5 stars I keep 📚☕🦇💀🎃🕸️🕷️
I 1000% agree with unhauling Verity.
The dad joke had me gagging 😂 relatableeeee
Yes Etsy!
I get so excited when you upload and I’m so glad I found your channel this year!
I hope you get Pangobooks in Canada soon. I just discovered this app a few months ago and I'm loving it because I'm out of shelf space
Me too! We have no where good to sell books in Canada. I donate my paperback books to an organization that distribute books to prisons but for the hardcovers i end up holding on to them.
I am still trying to figure out why I didn't dnf The Book of Cold Cases - so awful.
I remmeber once upon a time my ex got legit pissed at me for donating and giving books away. This video makes me feel so vindicated, so thank you so much. ♡
LOVE a juicy unhaul but think I might love this lipstick on you even MORE, yes girlie!!!!!!
I need to unhaul my collection as well. I have so many stacks on the floor cause I have no shelf space 🙈🤣
obsesseddddd with the background and you
Yesss open your own Etsy for books shop 🤗 ❤
Canadian here! I sell my books on Poshmark, you can least each one as an item and offer lower prices if people bundle multiples together
I still have Home Before Dark on my shelves because it glows in the dark. Only reason

Do you donate to the public libraries in your town?
This seems like a good idea, but a lot of public libraries are already short on space and they end up donating the books anyway. Very few are kept. In my experience anyway. Maybe it’s different in Canada ❤
I love unhauling books. It feels amazing.
I cry over All the White Spaces but I always knew it may not connect with you in the same way. I hope you find it a good home with someone it will speak to!!
Dude I'd love to buy a box of them from you cuz you got good tasting books
Hey Jordaline! I have some books which if I haven’t read by this time next year, I’m going to get rid of them. They are romances, literary fiction and memoirs. Thank you for the Video! Always love to see you bb! ❤❤❤
Please let me know where you put the books up. I would be interested of buying some books.
“I hated this. Who wants to buy it”. 😂

The therapist is a book you my want to keep......fst paced and well explained
yes I want books!!
Do you have an app called pango books in Canada?

We love a good unhaul!
I think depop or poshmark are better than etsy for their fee rates! (if either are available in canada)
I've been looking for out where the heck did you get it?????
This unhaul was a blast!!! :)
Jordaline how many books did you unhaul?

It is great to see you back in another video btw 🎉
Peter Swanson, I don’t think I have heard a great thing about any of his books. Ass paper is an alternative for that one just in case you run short 😂
I loved Verity it was good I have to admit.
I have heard so many people moan about Killer Vacation
I have been waiting for ages for a copy of Summer Sons, Inwas meant to be sent a copy and am still waiting
LOCK EVERY DOOR IS MY LEAST FAVORITE BOOK FROM RILEY, finally someone who gets it 😂
I’ll buy them!
I can not will not read Hoover again. Nope! Nada!
Can you not return a duplicate to the bookstore? I feel like it's not a faux pas to return an unread duplicate.
Youre so fun 🥰😂💜💜
Ngl, I kinda use these unhauls as low key book recommendation videos. If it's too weird or disturbing for you it genuinely peaks my interest 😂
YES! Be reckless and get rid of “Reckless Girls” #mess
I’d love.. You made a Fool of me with your beauty!! How can I pay? LOL!
Yes sell please I'll take them all!!!! Lol
@📚wormCraft👑 #Unapologetic OK 🆗 you can have the ones I already have😎
If you own Atlas Six, I would add that to the pile. Dark Academia with too much character growth and not enough plot.
If you do list your books I will pick up Whisper Down the Lane!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that was not impressed with Verity!
I liked the perfect stranger but idk if it’s for you
Instead of Etsy can you do eBay!??!! I’d love to purchase some!!!!!
You’re so funny!!!
Immediately liked this video from all the fluffy flattering. Love you, "would totally date you if I wasn't in a long term relationship" you too girl, you too 😏❤😘

❤❤❤
you are so amazing!
I want Queenie!
Love you!
I'd love to have unmasked
Wait I actually loved Radio Silence!! 😅 also, yes, DISPENSE of THE PLOT. tis garbage.
I would love unmasked and watch out for her
💚🖤
Radiosilence was a dissapointment, you are not missing anything
Well I'd buy Girls with Sharp Sticks, What Moves the Dead, and You Made a Fool of Death...lmk 😘
Here for the long ass stem. 🎃
you remind me of bailey sarian
I'm happy for people who love Riley Sager, but he is not for me. Lock Every Door was the first book I read this year, and I hated it.
Girl you saved yourself with the “From Blood and Ash” series cuz it’s ass
I wish I could take them😪 I need more reasons to stay cozied in bed🥹💜
Okay i need so many how can I contact you!
For some reason Colleen continues to be problematic. Like things are still coming out. Yet people continue to let it slide because they like her. Like her books aren’t even that amazing 🥲.
Too bad pangobooks isn't in Canada🥲 but loved the unhaul😌📚
