I only keep books I loved enough to want to re-read one day (plus a few really nice special/collector's editions). Everything else either gets sold or donated to a library/ Little Free Library. I'm in a 1-bedroom apt so space is at a premium. P.S. about book sentimentality: unless it's a REALLY special edition, I guarantee that whoever gifted you a book doesnt even remember that they did so (or care if it gets passed on).
That’s true, I’m sure they don’t care what’s done with it after a certain point. But I usually hang on to it not because I’m worried that anyone will be upset with me offloading it, but more because it’s a nice memory of someone. Even though these are most often people I talk to regularly 😂 oh, my brain.
Thanks for taking us through this process with you! For the ones you're unhauling with the covers you love why not make a Pinterest board of the covers you love so you can still enjoy looking at them without having to store the physical copies 📚
This video is really inspiring me to take a look at my shelves 👀 I liked seeing your thought process. I really don’t like poetry either. Congrats on being able to unhaul so many books!
I LOVE your shirt! hahaa, I feel the same about the Roo. It does have a fun scene where he rips off someone's arms and beats them with their own arms 🦘😂 I never took you for a Maas fan! I have the same issue with a lot of the fairyloot/owlcrate/etc ya fantasy books I have. Earlier in the year, I did a sweep and got rid of some, but I still probably have many I will never read. (like witches steeped in gold...) Every 3 months I plan on doing a sweep and getting rid of things. wow...almost 150 books! great job! You know what that means....time to go shopping!
Your video was randomly in my feed, and I decided to watch it. Glad I did. Also, why do so many of us readers have a phase in our journey where we want to keep all the books we have ever read, even if we didn't like them? Why are we like this!? Lol.
Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. One of her videos on Goosebumps just randomly showed up under my recommendations. It could be because I’m a horror buff, but I haven’t made TH-cam or Google searches for R. L. Stine or Goosebumps in years so it was a bit random. Most things that are recommended to me are from channels that have millions of subscribers. I’m glad that I’ve never been in that phase. I’d personally never want to hold onto a book I disliked unless it was collectible and I thought I could sell it somewhere down the road.
We’re all just weird, little dragons, I guess! It’s all fun and games until your hoard outgrows your space 😂😭 Thank you for taking the time to stop and watch - I really appreciate it! ♥️🐉
Thanks for joining me! Olly’s challenge has made me do some hard thinking about my book hoarding, haha, which isn’t even the point of the whole thing, I know! It’s been interesting though.
You're not missing much with The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time and An Unwanted Guest. I'm expecting some flack for this, but they're both not great books (one being a DNF and the other being a two star). Great choices to completely get rid of, trust me.
LOVE TO HEAR IT! I was kind of worried I’d have people trying to convince me to keep certain things (luckily nothing like that so far), but I’m all for reassurance that i am indeed dumping books I probably wouldn’t like.
yes, she is a turd, to put it mildly. i grew up loving that book and didn't know she was such a terrible person until only a few years ago. now, at least, she's dead so she doesn't profit at all from any book proceeds. i read that the publisher donates *some* of the book proceeds.
I put my ARCs out on the curb for passerbys can pick some up. If they don't disappear I put them in the recycling. This was a fun video! I'm also unhauling. It's taking a looong time! 🥵
Thank you - the knob is all dumb and has to be screwed in really tight or it falls toward really easily. I forget that I can unscrew it! lol. Really I just need to replace the whole thing

Arcs as they are mostly paperback can also be donated for prison libraries and hospital libraries
really! i love that! i'll have to look at see how i can do that locally.
Your opening thoughts really spoke to me. I need to do a massive unhaul. Great video!
Thanks Jen! The extra space feels really nice!

Thank you for watching, Alicia! It was really freeing. So much room for new books! (Eventually. If I have the self control. Hahaha)

i love your spirit, Kristine! i haven't gone yet, but the itch is there and it needs to be scratched!

New here. Great unhaul. Also I freaking love your hair!
Thank you!! It’s freshly colored, it only looks like this like 40% of the time, hahaha. But thank you ♥️
This video randomly popped up on my recently uploaded. Decided to watch.and was not disappointed!! ❤❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! 💚👻💚
@@PrettyInPapercuts You are very very very welcome!! I’m going to look into more of your videos, as you are really cool 😎!!
👻🎃👻💚🖤💚
Aww, that is so sweet 🥹 thank you
New subscriber! I’ve been also doing Olly’s challenge and I love a good unhaul.

Love book unhaul s!

Yeah, especially since they were so damn pointless
U getting rid of The Walking Dead hurt me LOL
it's not personal, i promise hahahaha
@@PrettyInPapercuts LOL I'm not taking it personally, my Walking Dead collction you couldn't pry out of my cold dead hands 🤣
I HATED reception which seems to be unpopular lol.
The beginning interested me but I remember feeling like it really went off the deep end 😬
another troubling author on your shelves is Marion Zimmer Bradley fyi
yes, she is a turd, to put it mildly. i grew up loving that book and didn't know she was such a terrible person until only a few years ago. now, at least, she's dead so she doesn't profit at all from any book proceeds. i read that the publisher donates *some* of the book proceeds.
Is your hair real or a wig? So shinny
it's real, i grew it myself! thank you 😊
I put my ARCs out on the curb for passerbys can pick some up. If they don't disappear I put them in the recycling.
This was a fun video! I'm also unhauling. It's taking a looong time! 🥵
that's a good idea too!
Heads up, your tripod is creaky because you need to adjust the tension
Thank you - the knob is all dumb and has to be screwed in really tight or it falls toward really easily. I forget that I can unscrew it! lol. Really I just need to replace the whole thing
Dear god, I want to buy everything you just unhauled. *wails dramatically*
a khajiit has wares if you have coin 🔮 (i am slowly listing them in my pango shop! pangobooks.com/bookstore/prettyinpapercuts )
@@PrettyInPapercuts will definitely take a gander
