I do find it funny when people talk about "old" books, like I'm reading two series right now. The first book in Sue Grafton's alphabet series was published in 1982, and I'm also reading the Da Vinci Code books by Dan Brown from the 2000s.
I’ve felt so conflicted when it comes to getting rid of books that I really enjoyed but have accepted that if I don’t ever want to reread them, there’s no point in keeping them
Keep the stacks at 20 books a piece and when you take one out adjust them back to 20. Then if you roll book 53, you can just count 20 (1st stack), 40 (2nd stack), and then 41 to 53 in the 3rd stack. Or count up from the bottom of the 3rd stack from 60 to 53.
I love this series and it's inspired me to start a series of my own called Read it or Reap to try and clear my bedroom floor of overflow books! I'm currently on my first book- the Doll Factory by Elizabeth Macneal and am enjoying it so far!
Omg I was sitting over here looking at my massive overflow pile and I think I'm gonna do something not similar but maybe number generator my TBR cart and get it cleared!
I have 60 books on my TBR . Something I've figured out is that you don't have to buy books the minute they come out. However I still haven't been able to put that in practice.
Loving this series! I think it’s such a clever way to add to your shelves. I say, keep DNF-ing there is only so much time, no need to waste it on a book you know you won’t like.
37:00 curly hair, use wide tooth comb 👍 I have naturally curly hair as well that also goes flat after a day or two and the wide tooth comb changed my life ❤
Love this. I have a shelf full of beautiful subscription box books that i never seem to get to and you inspired me to use the random number method. Which led me to actually read The Scarlett Alchemist which is my best read of the year so far. Thanks for all your great conent and good luck with the second coat.
I grew up reading and loving Greek Mythology. I cannot imagine anyone NOT wanting to go on such a trip. I can say though that even if I had the financial means to go and didn't have debt currently that I still could not afford to take that much time off of work. I need every paycheck. I know I'm not your target audience probably. I know not everyone is struggling. I am just saying as a single female, with expensive fur children, debt, and regular bills- these trips sound great but impossible for a few years if not longer. 😐💜 I love this series though and your videos in general. I'm so glad you started this project! 🙂👍🏻
I didn't know you were a film studies student! Love this part of the Becca Origin Story. I got my master's and went for my PhD in cinema and media studies. Small world.
It was really nice hearing you talk about Children of Blood and Bone. Though I read it so long ago I barely remember what happens, my enjoyment of it has stayed with me, and I often think about what happened to the series.
I'm obsessed with this series of vlogs!!! 😍 The books are attacking you! 😂 I liked Wild is the Witch - glad you did too. 😊 Bring Me Your Midnight was pretty good too. Glad you got to feeling better. 🫂 Love your shelves of Mira Grant & James Islington! ❤️ I was disappointed in Children of Blood & Bone - it felt too slow for me. Fun vlog! 😁
Loving this! I am doing a similar challenge for myself clearing out my TBR that's over a year old and it's motivating to find more people doing their own challenges. Also I love the black and grey paints!
Love the new series! I think it's a great way to get through those unread books that you just can't quite seem to pick up as easily as others.. However, I will say that the themes of Ace of Spades and the way it's written is way more realistic than one would think. Can't wait to see the next installment in this series! ❤
Rachel Griffin is one of my favorites. All her stories are in PNW and her landmarks are real places. The wall colors are like velvet, good choices. Cheers.
Great series so far. I would recommend putting the books in stacks of 20 to make the random selection process a little faster for you. So you don't have to count through the books every time you want to select one. And if you remove a book from a full stack of 20 just shift a book that's in a not full stack into the full stack.
Still absolutely love this serie ! I am not a vlog girlie generally but really enjoying this kind. I did enjoy your roll as you go bookopoly serie from last year which I guess is kinda similar.
omg i gave so many of these 5 stars! i wish i had this much organization and intention when it comes to what enters and exits my shelves lol love this series!
So I hated Children of Blood and Bone. I felt like the author threw every single trope she could in there. I still decided to read the second one. I have vivid memories sitting in my husbands (home) office chair (idk why) and spinning in circles from the frustration I had. I ended up ranting to him lol. Just like you caught the character growth was too fast, book two had some characters personality just completely shift, out of nowhere) I decided then and there to not read book 3, even tho it ended in a major cliff hanger. If you want a similar book but actually written well - NK Jemisin’s Broken Earth Trilogy.
I love this series. I kind of do a similar thing, except I put books I bought more recently on my shelves, and the books that don’t fit on my shelves are books that have been on my TBR the longest.
I love this idea you are one of favorite UA-cam channels I have come across. I started watching when I was in middle school and now, I am on my second year of college!!!
This was so fun to watch! I love that your creative and fresh idea was properly rewarded! Your thoughts on Ace of Spades and Children of Blood and Bone were pretty much what I expected lol I',m happy to see you've made progress with your bedroom and book stacks!
I'm so glad someone else felt the same way about Ace of Spades - the only thing that pulled it down for me was that some elements felt unrealistic in the way it was portrayed because it seemed to come out of nowhere.
I've just come across your channel by chance, and I've been binging your content! I love your insight and opinion on books and especially love your vlogs! ❤
So happy you’ve posted this today🤩 I really liked Children of Blood and Bone but the 2bd and 3rd books took so long to be announced/released that I’ve ended up reading book 1 twice and I still haven’t continued on with the series🙃
Loving this series! I was one of the few people who loved children of blood and bone and equally loved the sequel 😅 but also was good to hear your thoughts on ace of spades as that one is waiting for me on my shelf!
This series is brilliant, I love how you are tackling your tbr. I also liked Children of Blood and Bone. I thought the second book was ok but not as good as the first. I ended up unhauling them because of the long wait for book 3, I was no longer interested in continuing 🤷🏼♀️
Loving this series Becca! Children of blood and bone was a 3 star for me, the second book was a 2 star and I read them both around 2019/2020. I’d have to reread at this point to read the 3rd and I’ve unhauled a long time ago. If I were you I’d finish at book 1, you have so many other books that you are so excited to read, prioritise them over something that you are not sure on. With regards to the trip, I’d love to come but honestly just can’t afford it 😢❤
This video motivated me to go through my books and start pulling piles of books that I need to decide if I’m going to uhaul. I also have no more space on my shelves
The Black looks better than i thought it would. I was worried that it might be too depressing for what is supposed to be a calming space. I have cream walls and the warmth comes from coloured throws, bedding, low lighting and Candles.
Children of Blood and Bone is amazing!!! First is a little better than the second but I loved them both. Tomi has taken a bit of time in between books but I’m hoping that was worth it, she’s not rushing and putting quality effort into them!! Pls read!! Edit as I watched the rest of the video: so glad you started this :) I love it so much
I’d LOVE to do this Greek trip w/you Becca, just can’t this year. Moving over the summer and trying to pay down dept means I won’t have the funds to play this year 😭. I do hope you can fill the trip and have a wonderful time! Love this video series you’re doing as well, so much fun!
It's so nice to see a booktuber mention that they've had an unread book for "so long" and it turns out not be from like 2022.
Haha sadly I am old now 😂
I agree. If it hasn't been sitting there for 4-5 years... It hasn't been that long. 😂
I do find it funny when people talk about "old" books, like I'm reading two series right now. The first book in Sue Grafton's alphabet series was published in 1982, and I'm also reading the Da Vinci Code books by Dan Brown from the 2000s.
I’ve felt so conflicted when it comes to getting rid of books that I really enjoyed but have accepted that if I don’t ever want to reread them, there’s no point in keeping them
I am loving this series so much, i don't know why but seeing people unhaul books is more satisfying to me than seeing them haul books 😂
Keep the stacks at 20 books a piece and when you take one out adjust them back to 20. Then if you roll book 53, you can just count 20 (1st stack), 40 (2nd stack), and then 41 to 53 in the 3rd stack. Or count up from the bottom of the 3rd stack from 60 to 53.
Had zero clue that spotify had 15 hours of free audiobooks. thank you so much!!
I love this series and it's inspired me to start a series of my own called Read it or Reap to try and clear my bedroom floor of overflow books! I'm currently on my first book- the Doll Factory by Elizabeth Macneal and am enjoying it so far!
Whoa! Fabulous title. Hope it works well for you
@@sorenkrane thank you! I've had an idea for a series called that for a year or so but Becca helped me decide exactly what I'm going to do with it!
Omg I was sitting over here looking at my massive overflow pile and I think I'm gonna do something not similar but maybe number generator my TBR cart and get it cleared!
@@enchantedrosebooks yay go for it!!
Read It or Reap is just too good 🙌🏻
You should add a little note to each stack to determine the number range! So first stack 1-28, second 29-47 etc etc.!
I thought that too, but when she pulls books out each time the numbers change.
I have 60 books on my TBR . Something I've figured out is that you don't have to buy books the minute they come out. However I still haven't been able to put that in practice.
I try to take pictures of books because I'm overflowing my shelves
Loving this series! I think it’s such a clever way to add to your shelves. I say, keep DNF-ing there is only so much time, no need to waste it on a book you know you won’t like.
Okay...I absolutely need that "I need money, not feelings" shirt.
37:00 curly hair, use wide tooth comb 👍 I have naturally curly hair as well that also goes flat after a day or two and the wide tooth comb changed my life ❤

So ready for the second installment!!! 🎉❤
I'm obsessed with this series of vlogs!!! 😍
The books are attacking you! 😂
I liked Wild is the Witch - glad you did too. 😊
Bring Me Your Midnight was pretty good too.
Glad you got to feeling better. 🫂
Love your shelves of Mira Grant & James Islington! ❤️
I was disappointed in Children of Blood & Bone - it felt too slow for me.
Fun vlog! 😁
Loving this! I am doing a similar challenge for myself clearing out my TBR that's over a year old and it's motivating to find more people doing their own challenges. Also I love the black and grey paints!
I love this series! It's so satisfying when you get to squeeze another one on the shelf 💕
I've been waiting for this 🤩🤩🤩 I actually adored A Thousand Pieces of You when i read it in 2021 and gave it 5 stars!!! I love this series!!!
I loved that book too, and it's been forever since I read it also lol
Two books on my TBR here so found this video very useful! Really love this project!
love love the colours you chose for the bedroom! :D
continue to love this series - can't wait for more! :)
This is one of my new favorite series, I’m going to be eagerly anticipating each video! I love the concept so much 😊

Love this series - could watch one of these every single week :D
LOVE this series and already looking forward to the next episode! 😄
My favorite series currently on UA-cam.
Great series so far. I would recommend putting the books in stacks of 20 to make the random selection process a little faster for you. So you don't have to count through the books every time you want to select one. And if you remove a book from a full stack of 20 just shift a book that's in a not full stack into the full stack.
ahhh been waiting for this !!!!! so motivating
Becca, I am so jealous of your editions of the Beautiful Creatures saga!
Still absolutely love this serie ! I am not a vlog girlie generally but really enjoying this kind. I did enjoy your roll as you go bookopoly serie from last year which I guess is kinda similar.

Omg wow you’ve been watching so long 😭😭
I love this series! it makes me want to read my tbr💪🏻📖🫶🏻
We've had every single way to shelve or scrap books in this episode I think. Very satisfying!
Thanks sis, I've been waiting for this video, and this is the best time, I have over 300 invoices to sort for work!!
This was so fun to watch! I love that your creative and fresh idea was properly rewarded! Your thoughts on Ace of Spades and Children of Blood and Bone were pretty much what I expected lol I',m happy to see you've made progress with your bedroom and book stacks!

I love this series so much! Also very motivating to work on my own physical tbr
I'm so glad someone else felt the same way about Ace of Spades - the only thing that pulled it down for me was that some elements felt unrealistic in the way it was portrayed because it seemed to come out of nowhere.
I went to Crete the other year and loved it. Hope you get enough people to join you
I am SAT. so excited for this video!!!
I love this series! I cannot wait for the next episode 😊

I love these! Definitely inspiring to help everyone unhaul or keep our on the fence books. Also love the bedroom color choices! Looks amazing!
I love this series.
So happy you’ve posted this today🤩
I really liked Children of Blood and Bone but the 2bd and 3rd books took so long to be announced/released that I’ve ended up reading book 1 twice and I still haven’t continued on with the series🙃
Love this series. I should try something like this. I have sooooo many piles on the floor!
As a curly person, I love this look for you
Loving this series! I was one of the few people who loved children of blood and bone and equally loved the sequel 😅 but also was good to hear your thoughts on ace of spades as that one is waiting for me on my shelf!
You have the Kushiel's Dart series!!! I never see that one on anyone's shelves ❤❤
Love this series! Patiently waiting for you to read The Prison Healer.... 👀
This series is brilliant, I love how you are tackling your tbr. I also liked Children of Blood and Bone. I thought the second book was ok but not as good as the first. I ended up unhauling them because of the long wait for book 3, I was no longer interested in continuing 🤷🏼♀️
Had the best Time watching this Video :)

Loving this series Becca! It’s also so motivating to encourage me to take a look at my own stacks!
This video motivated me to go through my books and start pulling piles of books that I need to decide if I’m going to uhaul. I also have no more space on my shelves
I love this series Can't wait for part 3
Oh man. I would love to travel to Greece, but as a teacher October is towards the beginning of the new school year.
also - love the color combo you went with!
I really enjoy this series!
How did i not know you were a film student before now?? I'm slacking on my Becca lore
i don’t remember her ever saying it in a vlog 😅 i’ve been watching her since 2021 and didn’t know that either so don’t worry lol
Loveee this series!!
❤❤❤ love the intro so much and love this vlog series
Princess of Souls was a one star read for me, so I think you dodged a bullet there!
I really love this idea of this series ❤❤
I absolutely love this series so far. Also, not everything came out in 2016 :P Made me laugh every time
I LOVE this series!
I love this series so much😍😍
I do really like this series.
The Black looks better than i thought it would. I was worried that it might be too depressing for what is supposed to be a calming space. I have cream walls and the warmth comes from coloured throws, bedding, low lighting and Candles.
I loved after the forest. I recommend the audio book!
Children of Blood and Bone is amazing!!! First is a little better than the second but I loved them both. Tomi has taken a bit of time in between books but I’m hoping that was worth it, she’s not rushing and putting quality effort into them!! Pls read!!
Edit as I watched the rest of the video: so glad you started this :) I love it so much
Love this series so much that colour is beautiful x
I love this idea sm
ayyy this series is my new obsession❤️
also water for elephants is the book you show putting in the unhaul pile in the intro so I guess it ended up there for that clip?
I noticed that when I was proofing the video last night 😭😭 oops 😂
I’m loving this series so far. It makes me want to do something similar even though I don’t have an overflow pile yet 😂😂
I’d LOVE to do this Greek trip w/you Becca, just can’t this year. Moving over the summer and trying to pay down dept means I won’t have the funds to play this year 😭. I do hope you can fill the trip and have a wonderful time! Love this video series you’re doing as well, so much fun!
I just finished Wild is the Witch yesterday and felt the same! I needed a fun time and I got a fun time
I hated Children of Blood and Bone! I liked the premise and world, but the very YA/ insta-love romance ruined it for me 😂
