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 📚
That’s a really nice idea! Thank you! ♥️♥️
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.
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!
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.
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!
Thank you for watching, Alicia! It was really freeing. So much room for new books! (Eventually. If I have the self control. Hahaha)
Your opening thoughts really spoke to me. I need to do a massive unhaul. Great video!
Thanks Jen! The extra space feels really nice!
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 ♥️
Love book unhaul s!
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!
i love your spirit, Kristine! i haven't gone yet, but the itch is there and it needs to be scratched!
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! ♥️🐉
New subscriber! I’ve been also doing Olly’s challenge and I love a good unhaul.
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.
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
I feel like constant book buying is a huge problem in the book community and it's a topic that is not discussed nearly as much as it should be. There's so much overconsumption on here, instagram and tiktok. It's one of the reasons I left instagram. It feels so mindless and it doesn't even make sense. Books take up a lot of room! They are expensive!
True! I think that applies to many hobbies too - makeup, fashion, gaming. Basically, anything that can be marketed. It’s very easy to buy more than you need whether it’s intentional or unintentionally.
I had a huge buying problem with collector tarot decks. Now I'm on to books but its not as bad. Its cheaper and I'm more mindful.
Tbh I’m not as against it as other overbuying! Individual authors have much harder times earning decent wages for their work than big fashion companies for example. Supporting them is fair. Books also are so long lasting- the standard quality of books is quite high- you can have a perfectly readable 50-100 year old book. Unlike makeup or cheap clothing for example. Once you don’t want a book it’s relatively easy to donate or pass along so even if you didn’t actually read or enjoy it, someone else will.
@@samdor935 while I agree that buying books supports the authors, I just can't subscribe to the idea that that justifies endless consumption. You can't buy every book and you can't possibly support every single author in the world. The publishing industry has a big impact on the environment, which is another topic that isn't talked about that much. I feel like the overconsumption issue is ignored because it's not as fun to talk about as "look at my new book haul!" and it definitely doesn't do as well when it comes to views. Libraries are incredibly important. I love visiting my local library and knowing that once I finish a book, I get to release that book back into the world instead of holding onto it.
@@silenthillgirl89 fair! I feel that way about people having multiple copies of one book, and refusing to read certain copies to not damage it. Or keep them if they didn’t like them. It’s a sad day when a book is hoarded, not read. sad to buy books solely for a haul too. I hope those people are the minority. Libraries and digital are good alternatives. Personally I enjoy annotating, highlighting and rereading my favorites that just isn’t the same experience if I don’t own a physical book. If I don’t like a book enough I will erase my annotations (pencil) and donate it. I buy nearly all secondhand. I realize I’m pretty intense with this hobby, and not all readers are. Environmental impact is sadly still a cost, and I need to learn more, but also know it is a cost that comes with any consumer good. As I try my best to minimize this cost and this hobby brings me so much personal fulfillment, I am “okay” with consumption of a moderate amount of books. Specifically, if they are appreciated and actually used (and hopefully reused), not bought to rot in a trash can in a month.
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.
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.
Yeah, especially since they were so damn pointless
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 😬
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
