    Unhauls are so satisfying! And like any good unhaul, sometimes we have to pull a couple out of the bags and save them! 😊

    I love choose your own adventure books! They bring back so many childhood memories for me.

    How amazing - I just finished ordering The Group by Mary McCarthy. I am feeling inspired to do a major unhaul at my house
    Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos, Thank you

    I agree on getting rid of those really bad mystery books that She Who Must Not Be named wrote.👏 I read the first book when it came out and was a big disappointment. 😐

    The Great Gatsby... Moby Dick... 100 years of solitude... "I have other copiES of that one" How many copies does one need? XD If someone judges you for keeping the Goosebump book, they don't have their priorities straight if you ask me! A manga biography of Gandhi? I didn't even know I needed that in my life. Such a massive unhaul - you've done SO WELL!!!! Kudos! That must feel good - do you feel light as a feather after letting go of all those books? I'm sure I would!

      Thank you! I hope this one makes up for the last time I tried to do an Unhaul video.

    I saw some good ones fly past but the library probably has them all if you ever get interested again. Wait, the hardcover of Harriet the Spy..... and if that was Atkinson's Life After Life, that's a great novel. This was very fun!

    Great job on the unhaul. Takes a lot of discipline

    “She who must not be named” 🤣👌🏻 Perfect way to say it. I need to do this to my books now but it’s so hard! 🥺

    I have been unhauling books before a move. Parting with books always feels like Eustace getting de-dragoned in the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Like a big ole lion peeled off a layer of my hide.

    Wow, but this made me anxious, lol! I was voting for some of the rejects to stay in the keep pile, but applaud your ability to get rid of as many as you did. I can't do it! I need to learn how!

    There is no such person as a book horder if you are getting books for your collection. There was only one book that I would add to my collection, (Classic Slave Narratives) and three that I have (Children, Hidden Figures, and Anti-Racist Baby). I can see why you are getting rid of those books. Glad to see you back.

    Think you made some wise cuts (aside from maybe Harriet the Spy lol). The argument COULD be made, if they're in storage, not your shelves, are they keepers at all? Always hard to let go tho.
    I've found the best way (for me) to avoid overloading my shelves, and not waffling about unhauling books, was to develop a rule systems for what I keep and what I don't (In my case 3 rules, books must meet at least 2 to stay). Takes a lot of pressure, time and debate off the process, and I make the decision as I go.

      Librarians abide by a list of rules to “weed” their collections. Good job! What are your 3rules?

    How did you ever accumulate so many copies of the same book? Did you just forget you already had it? I've done that before, but only two times:)
