    Loving the conversation on consuerism. I have always been a book-in-hands girlie, but have been recently seriously thinking about getting an e-reader to cut back on both my spending and my ever growing collection. I think my book collecting hobby is getting refined as of late, the consumerism is getting to a lot of us in the book community I think! But, personally, I would rather give money to authors than my consumerism dollars on other "unneeded things." You for sure gave me a lot to think about!
    Excited for your future!! Enjoy the journey :)

      Such a great point! Of all the things to be spending money on, physical books are certainly not so bad ☺️🫶🏾

    Having shelves of books is amazing until you have to move 😂

    So excited for you! I moved out when I was 25 turning 26! I’m glad I waited long enough where I felt more financially able! Can’t wait to see the new space!!

    I also recently moved out of my parent's home because i wanted more control and freedom in my life and I love it so much! As you said, it's more control over your schedule, food, sleep and it's great to have it at a time where it feels right! Though packing all my books was an experience and I only have a fourth of your collection haha

    After moving 4 different times since I turned 18, I've been trying to slow down on the physical book buying and unhaul more frequently. Kind of helps push you in that direction when you live in a city where you get less space in an apartment, so you have to keep the book space small.

    I have a small pile of unhauled books in my room waiting to be donated and your little speech at the end made me think if i should add some of the ones i hold on to for sentimental reasons even tho I'll never read/reread them

    Wow that's a huge book collection! But it's good that you get to part with some books that you no longer need, maybe I need to do that too😅

    This is so how I’ve felt recently, re book ownership and capitalism and memories. At the end of the day, I’ll maybe see a physical book I own and feel something once a year because my memory fleets lol so I’ve been thrilled to be reading off of my ebook with library rented books again 😊❤

    Hello Jananie, Congrats on Moving. I suggest getting a dolly or a wheely cart for the move if your new place has elevators. It will make things ten times easier.

    This makes me love my kindle library even more lol beautiful collection though I really only have physical books related to my field that I want to highlight and share with my mentees also your curls are so pretty

    Loved the conversation on consumerism and shifting priorities. I am not an e-reader kind of person, but I love audiobooks. So my library and I are becoming good friends, and I don't *need* to buy physical books as much anymore. Even when I go book shopping, I would think to myself, "is this something I want to keep in my small collection OR could I just wait to borrow from the library?"

    • @thisstoryaintover
      @thisstoryaintover  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Audiobooks are the bomb 👏🏾 and that's such a great question to ask yourself, I've been trying to do the same now

    I'm happy to hear that you're letting go off the physical-book-craze 😅
    As a library/ebook/audiobook person this has honestly always been weird and completely unrelatable to me when watching booktubers

    I borrow all my books from the library and only buy my favourites, that's how I keep my collection to one bookshelf :p

    • @adrie2408
      @adrie2408 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I used to borrow library books but i stopped since i grew impatient with waiting for book availability. One day I'll visit a library again. It's a sure way to save money

    • @thisstoryaintover
      @thisstoryaintover  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's definitely a common practice for a lot of people and something I did myself before booktube!

    I watched this instead of packing my bookshelves. 🤔 Because I'm moving out of my family home into my own apartment. 🧐 Thanks for the motivation, good luck with your move 🙌

  • @ashreadsfantasy
    @ashreadsfantasy ปีที่แล้ว

    My family is finally moving into a new house and i have a lot of special editions so does packing the books the way you did protect them and does it for paperbacks? Never packed in my life

    • @thisstoryaintover
      @thisstoryaintover  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would say standing them upright and keeping them tight is key. I would also put clothes in the extra space in the boxes so the books don't move around and don't use too big boxes because books are HEAVY

    I get my books from the library and only buy when I feel the urge to reread (unless it's a favorite instant buy author). I'm also in year 2 of rereading every single book I own to see they still suit me and that has cut down my collection like no other. I wish I had done it prior to my most recent move, but what can you do🤷‍♀️
