Finally, someone who doesn't think that Wolf Hall is the greatest thing since sliced bread!
I still haven’t read it (but I had another copy.) 😬
We have the same copy of Swiss Family Robinson. Great edition!
When you need to declutter and make room, think of this question, if it’s not a strong “yes, keep!” ….. then it’s a no. It may sound harsh, but you want to keep those you’re excited about especially is space is a premium.
Sound advice. 🙏
I loved A Secret Life of Bees! Keepppp!
Oh no Crime and Punishment!😭😭
Noted! (And don’t worry, “Crime and Punishment” was a duplicate.)
Goodluck on part 2 👍🏽
What Was Lost was really good; I'd like to reread that one.
Good to know! Thanks! 🙏
Might have been interesting to hear a sentence or two on why you decided to donate each book.
Thanks for the feedback! 😁📚👍
I have read Little Bee by Chris Cleave. I thought it was a good book but not one you necessarily need to own. I think it is more of a library check out book. I only like to own books I see as classics or would reread. You are better at letting books go than I am.
Ah haha! You obviously have not seen Part Two. (Thanks for letting me know about “Little Bee.”)
@@mildrumpus LOL. I just finished watching part 2. You did your best. It is hard to let books go that have a nostalgia attached to them.
Interesting collection of books - both staying and going. You video prompted me to get back to my great books purge. The little free library made me wonder - what happens when it rains - how do the books stay dry?
That one fairs pretty well, but other times it becomes a soggy mess.
I read The Secret Life of Bees a VERY long time ago but loved it at the time. Maybe give it a chapter and see if you vibe with the writing style?
Unhauling is so hard!
Someone else will enjoy them. (That’s what I keep telling myself.)
Hi Rumpus, I can't remember which vid but you were talking about Booktube and getting views and having time to read. Where do people get the impression you have to read new books. I bet you've read a zillion books in the past you could do great reviews of! You've got a great up and coming channel and I get happy every time I get notified the Rumpus is in the House!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that. And thanks gorgeous the reminder that I can also talk about books that I have already read. Good point! 😎📚👍
You could call it something with clever keywords like Rumpus Reads Retro, Reading with Ace and Rumpus, or Books to Read from the Rumpus Library! LOL!
What a fun idea! I might have to do something similar with my old uni books 🤭
I noticed The Life of Bees in your 'Undecided' pile. Unfortunately I won't be much help, as I've heard mixed things. Apparently it starts well, but is much the same near the end.
Did you get the chance to read Vonnegut's Cats Cradle? If so what did you think?
Yes, I read “Cat’s Cradle” and loved it. (It was a duplicate copy.)
Yes, I read “Cat’s Cradle” and loved it. (It was a duplicate copy.)
I’ve read Little Bee and The Secret Life of Bees. Both are worth a read. I enjoyed The Secret Life of Bees more but both remain on my shelf. How do you decide what you are going to donate? 😊💙
A lot of the books that I donated are duplicates. Others may have been annotated or the print is too small. And a few I know that in reality I will never sit down and read.
@@mildrumpus 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nooooo not King's Desperation. 😢😢😢 😂
Doh!
@@mildrumpus lol
@@FacelessBookReviews(Duplicate.) 😁
@@mildrumpus Phew!!!
How many books do you think you own? I have gone through my books lately and was blown away by how many I had😂... great video! Hope your doing great 👍
I’ve been logging them on TheStorygraph, current count is 2,443 (but that’s not everything.) So, this was long overdue.
@mildrumpus
2,443??? Holy crap!!! That makes me feel soooo much better... lol🤣.. only joking. Some people might think that a lot ( and you have way more than I do), but... I am a collector at heart. So my books are not just books, but a collection, a library if even. Well, anyway.... keep up the great videos!
@@bibliomania158 🤣🤣🤣 They are split between two different states, thank god.
