- Honestly, I never thought I'd film an unhaul but this challenge was so interesting that I had to give it a try myself!!

1. There's not a hole in my leggings, it's a piece of dust that disappears throughout the video lmaoo
2. I'm sorry the video is blurry in a few scenes! Sometimes it's hard to keep a handle on the quality when the viewfinder is really far away but I hope it doesn't affect your viewing experience too much.
Enjoy!!
emmmabooks what are you going to do with the books you unhauled?
Islek Katina exactly that’s what I’m thinking
I was thinking the same thing
I was also thinking that.
I’m so excited to watch this!! I just filmed it today too, it’s honestly cathartic 😄
A Clockwork Reader super excited to watch yours once you upload it Hannah!
A Clockwork Reader How funny I just came here from that video!
i'm the opposite of you; every time i unhaul books im like GIVE ME A REASON TO KEEP YOU!!! NO ONE IS SAFE HERE!!!!! GIVE ME ONE WRONG LOOK AND UR ON UR WAY TO HALF PRICE BOOKS!!!!
I'm totally the same. I'm constantly unhauling books. That could be because I'm constantly buying books...
Haha me too I have limited space and see no point of keeping a book even if it's an e book if it was just ok if I dont think I will reread it I get rid of it
Tiffany Boncek wish this was possible with audio.
@@jessicawatson7360 I have never listened to an audio book you can't delete them?
Same, I LOVE unhauling books! I don't have much space so I physically can't keep them anyway, but also I love the feeling of passing books onto other people who will read and might love them!
Donate them to a prison. Prisons use libraries as part of ongoing education, which reduces recidivism, but they're underfunded and understaffed. According to Books Behind Bars, most prisons do not allow family and friends to send books into prisons; they must come from a bookstore or publisher. And, unlike traditional libraries, prisons can't hold book sales to raise funds, so they'll keep your ARC in circulation.

Gwendolyn Kensinger wow! What a fantastic idea
Gwendolyn Kensinger THEY DONT ALLOW FAM AND FRIENDS TO SEND THEM BOOKS? WOW. our prison system is fucked up
Julie Engle Well, The book could have things in it that they snuck in 🤷♀️
Chlo Chill If you are talking about hiding weapons or secret items, the prison system checks everything that comes in and out of the prison heavily. Even personal letters. My uncle is in a prison which allows books to be brought in. As long as the book is checked and the subject is not something like how to escape a prison. No highlighted words or any annotations of any type. And you also must give the prison a two month heads up if you are sending a book.
My brother is in prison and we're not allowed to send him books. We have to go to a book store like Barnes and Noble and have them send it out
*not to be like super dramatic, but this is actually really hard*
me everytime someone tells me to unhaul books I will never read...
Brennan i find unhauling refreshing. Like my bookshelf are looking great and there are all the books that I love
Wonderland Br I actually cannot make myself to do unhauling... it’s too much for me 😂
Brennan you and me both. My books are precious and it stresses me out to get rid of any
Krystal Utkin YES! I feel so anxious even thinking about unhauling them...
Me when you showed up with Lord of Shadows: *Emma, no one will believe you*
Brennan I haven’t even been watching that long and even I did the /neck back from screen meme/ Noooo waaay.....
The Lore Daughter haha see? everybody knows she loves Cassandra Clare... she’ll never unhaul a single book by her 😂
Yeah that was so obvious
Brennan & Gabby Chiera I mean I still laughed XD
*LET’S DO MORE, LET’S DO MORE* … never seen someone who’s more excited about unhauling than you in this moment 😂😂😂
That dual angle got me shook
Emma: let’s get rid of books guys!
Me: ohh goody this gonna be so stressful!
Emma: bYE arcs
Me: ....HAHAHA
still proud of u bb I know it was v hard 👏🏻
What are arcs?
Fiona Passiadou arcs are basically books that are given out by publishers that have not been released yet and may still have changes made to it
You could put the ARCs in one of those "free mini Libraries".
Like a book exchange! That's an awesome idea
Emma our chemical hearts is super problematic and has stalking in it, taking advantage of drunk girls, glamorization of mental illness, referred to the mc that had gone through trauma as a broken girl and the main characters disability was just a complete misrepresentation. Honestly you didnt miss out on anything by unhauling it!
That sounds like the biggest pile of horsecrap I've ever known about, thanks for posting a warning
Please always make unhauling videos like this. I find unhauling videos interesting in general, but I think watching the process of you picking the books made this so much more fun!
Diabolic books are so great! Fast paced, twists and turns, politics and questioning what makes a human/soul
Nooooo Foolish Hearts was so Good!!!! It was my favorite book of March
THIS WAS SO STRESSFUL BUT SO FUN TO WATCH
I don’t even own 32 books..
kylie loves dan and phil Same.
Same
I started with 4 and now I’m hitting around 60....my mom encourages me to read because she doesn’t and I’m like mom I will live in Books-A-Million and now I’m getting a new bookshelf to hold my addictions😂
Woah I just counted mine and I have 60 I thought I had 20 lol
Your collection will grow super fast, believe me. I remember having 20-25 books in late 2015, now I'm nearing the 300+ mark. Once I turn 18 and have a job I'm sure that number will double in a year lmao I have no self control.
So sad people are not giving The Diabolic and Empress a chance, such great books.
Right!
Yes my heart is bleeding
I’ve been wanting to read them for a while, I’m definitely picking it up because of this comment 😜
I’ve got a copy of The Diabolic and will read it soon! Can’t wait to enjoy it
Cris Blakeney i loved it. Beautiful story
You unhauled more books than i own !! Great video it is fun to watch !
When you said you were gonna unhaul an exclusive edition of lord of shadows I was so scared 😂
Thank you so much for this! I'm so happy you finally decided to post an unhaul. I love these videos and this is such a wonderful tag!
Hurts my heart to see you get rid of Diabolic because it was such a good book
Classic Squidney your the only person I have heard say they like it
I liked it too XD
I was freaking out as you were talking about getting rid of the limited Lord of Shadows copy lol lol YOU GOT ME
I have the same with Game of Thrones! I've actually read the first 3 books but I will never finish them, however, I just can't get rid of them!!
You're unhauling soooo many books! Yasss more room for new books 😏
you should totally finish the series!
I'm reading through the series, I'm on the second part of book three, and I'm so burnt out with them but I know that if I put them down and pick them back up in future, I will have to reread the first 3 and I'll just be burnt out all over again, so here is to another few months of just powering through D:
I have only read the first 2 books so far, but I just started them this year! I absolutely love them so I'm assuming I'll enjoy the rest of the series even though they take me almost a month each lol. The problem is since they take so long to read I always end up in a reading slump but they are still my favourite adult fantasy books so far. Do you enjoy them or are you pushing yourself through them?
Serena Darking I am thoroughly enjoying them, absolutely, it's just how detailed and vast the world is that overwhelms me. The length of the series isn't an issue, just the amount of characters and world building that there is, but overall I am in LOVE with the series and I can't wait to find out what happens in the rest of it!! Are you enjoying it too?
I'm thinking of borrowing the Game of Throne series as audiobooks from my library. I feel like that's the only way I will ever read them.
Unhauls are so cleansing to the soul.
You should definitely keep Extraordinary Means! It's such a unique book. It's a contemporary about two teenagers at a tuberculosis sanatorium. It's a really fantastic book!
Unhauling books feels as if Im letting go of my child. Lol
Your struggles are so relatable.
You could donate the ARCs to your local thrift store. They don’t care what kind of books they are. I’ve found ARCs in mine before.
Unhauling has been one of the best things I’ve done. Proud of you! I would say maybe let people on Twitter know what books you are getting rid of and tell them that they can choose whichever they want and to just pay shipping. Once the ones people wanted are gone, maybe you can donate to the library or some center. Hope something works out though! 😊
For some reason, it makes me sad to unhaul books I didn’t even like😂😂😂
Same.
I dont😂 i want my bookshelf to be like a treasure chest.
can Emma just donate all those books to me please
areadersworld Hi!
areadersworld YES I WAS THINKING THIS THE WHOLE TIME
Same
I absolutely adore this duo camera angle thing. So cool!
you're going to make your library SO happy!!
This is such an awesome challenge. I already have an unhaul lined up so I probobly wont do it anytime soon but it's definatly going on my booktube bucketlist!
You could see about giving the books away to hospitals or homeless shelters. Or go to a bookish event and randomly give them to someone
I hate getting rid of books. Just watching you do this challenge is giving me anxiety! 😂
Great job!! It feels good to unhaul books.
I agree with your feeling on Throne of Glass. If you’re not 100% sure, keep the book until you’re ready!
I like this video so much! I like that you went outside of your comfort zone (in the sense that you felt stressed looking at the pile of unhauled books). In the end I think that unhauling books is a very good thing to do, it "cleans" our shelves and therefore our minds, a little bit? Love you!
With the ARCs that I have but don't want anymore, I usually will leave them in places around town like the Laundromat or my local ice arena when I go to watch my nephews play hockey. I put a Post-It that says "Free. Please read and enjoy".
At 7:01 was when I rolled my eyes so much!!
LOL! Oh Emma...
That's one huge pile to unhaul!The struggle(and stress) is real😬
This was weirdly therapeutic to watch and it's making me feel motivated to clean my shelves when I'm done college for summer in 2 weeks!
I don’t know how you do this I am so attached to my books. But I also admire the fact you only keep books you really love.
Girl how did you know I was in the mood to watch book unhauls.
I love this! I need to unhaul a bunch of the books I left at my parents' house when I moved out since they're basically books I didn't like. I just have nobody to give them to because my library doesn't want them and our local used bookstore doesn't want them.
I get a lot of arcs as well. Something I've started doing is donating my arcs to local teachers that I know because they struggle to keep books in their classroom libraries.
Thank you for this video, Emma. Not only was it fitting since I'm combing through my books to see which ones to unhaul and save. And seeing your video reminded me of books I need to add to the unhaul.
What you could do with the ARCS is maybe give them to a thrift store like Savers or something. You could also try the library. Some don't mind getting ARCS
Almost started crying when you unhauled Diabolic 😱 please put it on your TBr
Even though you are getting rid of Extraordinary Means and don't plan on reading it soon I do recommend trying to read it in the future. I read it last fall and loved it so much. It was on of my top books of 2017. So yeah I highly recommend
The internal struggle you have with unhaulings books is sooo me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
watching this feels like therapy tbh
Foolish Hearts was soooo good! I read it in one day, it reads really quickly. I loved it!
Good video 😊. It’s always good to clean out the bookshelf sometimes 😊. I need to do that .
"Oh SHIT, I completely forgot about these books!" is a mood
I just love that you dress in all black and have black hair, but you’re very positive seeming and enthusiastic.
This is an interesting way to do an unhaul! I did an unhaul about a month ago so I don't feel the need to do one again but whenever I do, I will definitely do this challenge!
This was so much fun to watch! Just thinking about unhauling books gives me anxiety 😅
This is such a cool tag but I have book hoarding problems so it also gave me a small amount of anxiety. Which is ridiculous I know 🤣🙈
I love how you started off hesitant in the beginning and then you were like LET'S DO MORE
I recently finished diabolic and the empress and I really enjoyed it! The end of the empress killed me and I don't know what to do about it until I can find out what comes next.
When you almost unhauled hazel wood my heart stopped. I love that book. Great video
Omg, my heart just stopped when you said you're gonna get rid of the limited edition of Lord of Shadows. I'm Brazilian so I couldn't get those editions, you're so lucky!
I feel like even if you didn't necessarily like the book or don't plan on finishing it, it's totally acceptable to keep it if it's signed and personalised. 1) Because that baby could go way up I value in the future and 2) because that author took the time out of their day to do that for you.
you can donate the Arcs to the housing works bookstore cafe in lower manhattan they will sell the arcs and the proceeds go to helping people with HIV/AIDS. the whole bookstore is used books and they have an ARC wall.
Now you have more room on your shelves for new books! =) I love your videos Emma! Thank you so much for what you do
I definitely need to do this tag in a few weeks!
You should audiobook Holding up the Universe. that one is probably the single book I rec out of all the ones you unhauled... it was a pretty cool premise.
There's something so satisfying about unhaul videos! Good on you forgetting rid of so many books. Now you can fill up that empty shelf space with more books 😛
I don’t have as many books as you or the other booktubers, but I couldn’t imagine unhauling any books, even the books that I didn’t enjoy! There aren’t many books that I don’t enjoy, though because I’m easily entertained....but I think that’s because I buy a lot of books that you and other booktubers recommend such as Scythe and Thunderhead by Neil Shusterman. I really like watching unhaul videos, though because you get that fresh feeling after actually doing it. It’s like a new start. Plus, you now have the room for more amazing and new books!! 32 more spaces for you 😍😍
Also, I think you should do a fun contest somehow for a giveaway with all of these books maybe? That would be really fun and different! Anyway, love your videos and I’ll be waiting for another new one soon!! 😊😊
i love how she doesnt even consider getting rid of any of her shadowhunter books
never! ahaha
I should probably use these questions to clear out some of my own books
I absolutely love unhaul videos so amazing 😉😇 great video Emma
THE DIABOLIC AND THE EMPRESS ARE REALLY GOOD!!!!! you should have kept them!
I *just* found out about Girls Made of Snow and Glass yesterday and I reeaally want to read it so seeing you unhaul it made my heart hurt
LMFAO THAT GETTING RID OF LoS JOKE WAS UNHOLY 😂😂👌👌 OMG for a moment I was like HOW COULD SHE? Imposter! WHERE IS EMMA? 😂😂❤
I’m not sure if it’s too late but you could donate your ARCs to places like the prison book program or the women’s book project, both of which donate books (I believe including arcs) to those incarcerated.
I really love this challenge (and not just its on your channel and you my favorite) but I love decluttering. Unhauls are so satisfying. I might everntually do this on my channel but idk when haha
So relieved you kept ToG series!!!! Great video! I enjoyed it so much!!!😆❤️
I would never want to get rid of a book that was signed to me personally. In fact, if I've met the author, I want to keep the book just for that fact.
I just watched Lala's video again and think the unhaul was easier for her because she has a lot of books that she has no attachment to.
For a second I thought you were actually going to unhaul Lord of Shadows..
omg the diabolic was so good!
Love these videos this me trying to unhaul book x
I HAVE THAT DOCTOR WHO QUOTES BOOK LIKE THAT EXACT COPY OMG
Snow Reads Me Too!
when you said you were unhauling that signed edition of lord of shadows i literaly gasped
I love this video!i could watch an hour long version
That "Lord if shadows" almost gave me a heart attack. But there's just no way someine in a full mind would ever do that. And I knew you wouldn't!💜
I know the series isn’t really your thing but when you picked up throne of glass I was so afraid you were going to unhaul them for a moment I tripped over they’re one of my favourite series ever😂
CALL ME BY YOUR NAME THO😭😭
NOOOOO! a hundredth hours of night is so beautiful!
Just and Idea...you could start a small website not selling the books but for shipping and do it that way. that way everyone can see and look at the books u have unhaul. just and ideass.....love your videos
OMG I almost got a heart attack when you said that you were going to unhaul the special edition of Lord Of Shadows
Kenza Khiyate same!
Omg Emma it’s been so long since I watched your videos!! Starting off with a controversial one clearly but it’s ok! Always love seeing your content! You’re my favorite Booktuber ever!
Of course I respect your decision with unhauling books but I just can’t unhaul books when I just know that I will miss out on something great. I don’t think you should unhaul Wild Beauty as I heard it’s absolutely beautiful or Foolish Hearts or The Diabolic. I mean that’s just my personal opinion. But you did pretty good! Pretty much every single book had a good reason! Love your videos!
CALL ME BY YOUR NAME?! IMO you missed a lot... The book is different from the movie, and written quite well. For one thing the movie is very quiet and has all these sexual tension scenes. The book... Has all these loud, sexy thoughts from Elio. Hahahaha. And the trip to Rome was so much better in the book. No to mention the part 3, AFTER the ending of the movie. 😓😂 Anyway, I'm not upset coz I like you giving it away so others can enjoy these books too (when you sell them or donate them).
honestly i hate andre aciman’s writing. it’s so slow and dense and i cant get through it. i got up to like 54 or smthing in cmbyn and 160-ish in enigma variations. i gave my copy of cmbyn to my sister bc i just hated it so much lmao
I love your makeup in this video😊
Awh darn I loved the Diabolic! Never read the Empress though cause I feel like it’s unnecessary.
You can keep the UK edition of only Throne of glass #1 instead of all of them. That way you still have a personalised copy, but you also are getting rid of 3 books!
YAY for unhauls!
I saw you pick up lord of shadows and said nooooo. What a relief!
I don't think you should get rid of some signed and personalized books just because of a challenge on yt... if you consider that they mean something to you just keep them... some people would love to have the opportunity to get signed books but can't.. authors never come to my country for example.
i wouldn't say it's JUST because of a challenge, but more that the book is no longer one i am interested in. i've been very lucky to have gone to many many signings over the years and there are books i got signed YEARS ago and my reading tastes have changed now!! the challenge is more pushing me to ask "do i REALLY need to keep this book" rather than forcing me to get rid of them :)
If someone who doesn’t want them donates them, imagine how excited someone else might be to find it for cheap at a goodwill or used book store!
OH MY GOD THE LOVELY RECKLESS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS OF ALL TIME
I don’t think I’ve ever been so terrified in my life than when you picked up the UK editions of Throne of Glass..😂😂 I could literally have 5 copies of each book in the series, and I don’t think I’d ever be able to get rid of them..lol
Wow, I would pay you to send me like 80% of those :D
But it's so cool to see you happy about unhauling books! And the dual set up is a lot of fun.
