A Big Angry Book Unhaul 📚🙃
This didn't turn out as angry as I thought it would, mostly because I was too distracted by having to get rid of the pretty books. And also I'm tired. But I had fun making the thumbnail!

I loved the pippin cameos 😂😂
I mean, I might be biased, but I think he's pretty cute.
📚
💀
An unhaul is so freeing! I’m working so hard on only keeping 4+ star books, but it’s so hard with the pretty editions, especially. I’m really trying to be ruthless.
It's all about the feelings. If it gives you good feelings, keep it. I'm turning into Marie Kondo, here.
I thought I was the only person who didn't love Amari! It just didn't stand out to me.... I promised I was going to read the sequel to see if it hooked me but I never did
Even the best books have people that don't gel with it. We are that people, here!
When I moved back in March I did a massive unhaul (about 100 books) and while it was emotionally tiring I find your unhaul videos soothing? I have no idea what that says about me. :)
Haha, because you're not emotionally involved. I like watching other booktubers unhaul also.
You should get rid of The Pairing by Casey McQuiston. It doesn't deserve shelf space. I'm so sad that I found it so disappointing. Now I'm glad I got it in audio so it doesn't take up space on any of my shelves.
It will probably happen the next time around!
I literally just took all my “yeet to Mordor” books out of my house so I could start fresh- I can decide rather quickly to get rid of books but they tend to linger in my house and I forget /don’t have the time to take them out. 😂 but yay!! Good for you for getting rid of the ones you won’t reread! That’s such a fun thing!
Yeet to Mordor! I love it.
💀
I should unhaul some books…
Do it! It's very freeing.
💀
Pippin deserves extra treats for being such a good assistant today 💀
I think so too! Unfortunately he's picky, and I have yet to find treats he really likes. I just bought him some new ones that he completely turned his nose up at. I think I need to invest in some Churus.
💀
had written a comment but accidently closed the tab :(( I was saying: I do want to see Pippin's big eyeball, loved Vanished Birds, hope your copy finds someone who loves it. but in way more boring words lol. also, someone nominated Dungeon Crawler Carl for our scifi book club next year and I will make sure it gets voted on :D
Yesss, Dungeon Crawler Carl!!! I told Pippin just now that you liked his eyeball. 🤪 I feel so weird about The Vanished Birds! I do hope my copy finds someone who will love it wholeheartedly.
💀
Background music I am imagining is Let It Go lol Nice book purge 💀
Dang, missed opportunity!
💀
Same Gaiman policy over here. And I'm so excited for the new Old Kingdom editions! That is my favorite series! You did a great job culling💀
Hahah, thanks! Sabriel has a gold cover 😍
I think I'd rather have a General Leia shirt than a Princess Leia one. Also, I really need to do a thorough unhaul but I don't think my heart could take it right now.
You know, I don't think I saw any General Leia shirts when I was doing my browsing (and I was browsing for a long time). You would probably have to specifically type in General Leia to find them.
Pippin is such a cute troublemaker!!! ❤️ I've also been thinking about maybe unhauling my V. E. Schwab books. I think I might wait until her next book coming out next Summer (lesbian vampires!!) and if I don't enjoy it I might get rid of them. Scribner came out with a new edition for Pet Semetary, Cujo, and Christine by Stephen King. I loved Pet Semetary so I bought it. What did you think of Cujo and Christine?? 🤔
The VE Schwab thing is so weird. It started when three-starred Gallant, and then I DNFed my re-read of A Conjuring of Light, and then I absolutely crawwwllled my way through The Fragile Threads of Power. I have no idea why this is happening to me. I don't even think I'm interested in the lesbian vampires!! 😩 I've seen those editions! I think I prefer the UK ones, though. But I was definitely tempted whilst in Target the other day and they had all of them. I haven't read Christine or Cujo yet! I have both of them ready to go, though.
💀
I love full bookshelves, but I periodically go through my collection, and take the unhauled books to a used bookstore for store credit. I loved thr Shsdes of Magic books. She wrote another book that takes place later, Fragile Threads of Power. Looking forward to thr sequel for to that one. But hey, sometimes even books you enjoyed have to go, to make room for more books.
See my reply to Lilabeanx for more VE Schwab thoughts, but basically I have no idea why I am not enjoying her anymore! I did read The Fragile Threads of Power and was thoroughly underwhelmed :( It's in my stack of doom, waiting to be shelved . . . or unhauled.
💀
I, too, am considering getting rid of the Pairing ☹️
It just didn't hit!
I am desperate for a good Princess Leia shirt
doooo it. there are so many to choose from.
Really disappointed that Lindsay didn’t grab the big book of APA citations 😂
Right, it would be so useful.
📚
Norton editions are the best! That was a real steal…
I have a bunch leftover from college, but I think they are ugly haha so I keep them in my closet. If I like the book I will prob unhaul and get a prettier copy 😬 shallllowww. Plus, they are too tall!
@ These are older editions, they have a new look now and those are really pretty in my opinion. But their additional materials are usually well chosen and really helpful, so that’s the reason I like them and would get the uglier old edition secondhand for a good price…
I love donating and finding gems at my local little free libraries. 📚☕🍁🍂
It's so fun!
I noticed you said you have Instagram I think. Mines "Ms. Spooky Nerd"
All I can say is that I wish we had them in our town in Australia xx
You could start it!
@ true
I could hear Japanese in the background lol. Must have been part of the music overlay. Banned books have been in my mind, too... Omg the Prydain Chronicles! (First one is Book of Three). I read those in middle school. I still have them lol. Peanut butter m&ms are the best. Can't go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate.
The Japanese would be because the only copyright-free music I could find that fit this video's vibe was in an album by a YT artist paying homage to anime lol.
Candide is hilarious and so good! 🖤
I love to hear this!
This was so freaking cute! Tucson is beautiful as usual. Couldn't agree more with ditching Byron Katie and her victim-blaming bullshit, but Marsha Linehan is a G, IMHO of course. 😘📚
Thank you , friend <3 I had to Google those women, and then I was like, oh this comment is for Lindsay lol. It really is nice here :)
Yeah I didn’t even read it, but realized a while ago why I couldn’t get myself to read it 😅
@@lindsaymcjohnson Smart intuition. Grade A Baloney!
This looks so fun and cute, you guys!!! But also I LOVED the Long Earth series (Pratchett and Baxter) SO MUCH. Not like Discworld at all, for the record.
I don't think I've heard people really talk about it! I might have to pick your brain when I get around to it. I've had it on my TBR since it was published.
You’re right, I really needed that 💙
What a fun trip! Love the snack element. Plus you are the only UA-camr who would both recognize and excitedly comment on Betsy-Tacy, and that's just another reason this channel is the best.
Do people really not know Betsy-Tacy?????
I put up a Little Free Library shortly after I retired, can highly recommend it. Mine isn't heavily used, but I do get a decent stream of dog-walkers down our cul-de-sac every day. Anything that doesn't get taken in a few months gets donated to our annual Planned Parenthood book sale.
That's so fun! I wish YT did pics so you could show us what yours looks like.
@@theanswerisbooks weird, I thought I had replied with a link to the post on my Insta where I have pictures of it, but it either didn't actually post or YT took it down and didn't tell me. Oh well. It's just a plain blue one with 2 shelves. The top shelf fits mass-market paperbacks and is mostly mysteries and true crime left over from my mother's stash. The bottom shelf fits hardbacks, and is mostly sci-fi and fiction from my stash plus whatever has been left in it by others.
📚
1) peanut butter m&ms are the best. You are correct. 2) Candide is a fun, yet weird little book. Enjoy.
VALIDATION.
📚Great idea! ❤
Thank you! 😊
What a cute idea for a video! We don't really have Little Free Libraries in Norway (with the cute little cupboards), but in a bunch of places, they've turned old phone booths into "take a book, leave a book" booths instead. There's a big table (sheltered under the roof) of our local library where people can leave and take books. It's where I tend to dump all of my unwanted books outside of flea market season. 📚
Same idea, different execution! Book nerds will flourish wherever.
We need to import this concept over here, I would love to get new books and get rid of a good bunch I still have laying around that I'll never read again
You could probably start one!
📚 I wish Free Little Libraries were more of a thing around here. But I'm glad to see the chaos continues even without Pippin starting it haha
You could start one! And yes, me and Pippin seem to be a perfect match re: chaos.
📚 inspired me to go visit one near me !
Sweet!
That Patricia Cornwell Jack the Ripper book was A THING when it came out. And I know I read Candide, but I can’t for the life of me remember if it was in high school or college.
I've never read anything by Patricia Cornwell! She any good? Candide seems like a college read?
@@theanswerisbooks Yeah...I think it was probably college. I haven't read any of Cornwell's fiction, but I have the first Scarpetta book that I'll hopefully read before the Amazon show starts.
@@theanswerisbooks The Jack the Ripper thing is interesting, though. Because she was all "I have solved it! I am right. This was the dude." And the guy she accuses is maybe the least interesting suspect?
Oh, interesting, she tries to actually solve it? I might have to check it out now.
ahhhh I was really hoping you'd pick up the Candide, it was the first one I'd noticed! I read it like 15 years ago, but really enjoyed it! and I saw a video that commented on it recently and it seemed like I would like it again, hope you will too! The Terry Pratchett moment was super fun. Really cute vlog :)
Thank you! I actually have no idea what it's about, but my brain pinged that I've seen people talk about it fondly, so I thought why not?
