Getting rid of all my books that didn't make me happy is one of the best decisions I've made bc that way the shelves just have better vibes and I actually enjoy looking at them😂
i separate my bookshelves by genre, girl it is so nice. it's so easy to find everything and you could still have a small rainbow section with romance 🤷♀
In my district we have the same little bird houses for books and most of the time there are crappy books. I always leave a note inside the books wishing to the person picking up that book a happy reading and how the book made me feel. It’s a fantastic idea to give another life to the books ❤️
Yes, update the bookshelf to show different genres. That’s exactly what I will be doing because sometimes I’m in the mood for a mystery and sometimes I’m in the mood for a romance. Love your videos!
Ah yes! ❤️ I constantly go through my bookshelves and unhaul books that I have no value in, that don’t bring me joy, or simply that I no longer feel the need to keep! 😂 It always keeps my library feeling fresh and a lot more personal, and it always makes my TBR seem less overwhelming! Anyhow, love your channel, every time I watch it feels like being wrapped in a comfy book blanket. Lots of love 💕
I wish I had time to sit down and make a mashup of the clips of you throwing “that” book because it has happened way too many times to not be a whole video clip😂 love it when you do that😂
I live in a tiny studio so I’m working on being more intentional with what I bring in. I’ve been checking books out from the library and buying ebooks if I can’t wait for a popular book. If a book I borrowed is so special to me, or I want to re-read it in the future I’ll buy a physical copy. That being said, I LOVE watching others sort through color-sorted bookshelves. It’s so satisfying and I’m living vicariously this way! I love that the donated books are quality, and someone will be so excited to read them. Also, I haven’t finished Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow, and I’m not sure if I will. I can see why others enjoyed it, but I’m comforted that someone else didn’t love it for the same reasons.
If you haven't already, I'd recommend writing on the inside cover or title page where/when you bought the book if it's somewhere special like the biggest barnes and noble in new york so that you'll have that memory immortalized
You’ve gotta keep the books you like owning and get rid of the ones you won’t miss. It’s kind of a case by case scenario haha. Also as soon as you punched a book in the intro, I subscribed. Love your energy 😂
You should update your bookshelf that would be so fun! If you want to keep some sort of color theme you could organize them by genre/series and then by color, that’s how I do my bookshelves. For example all of the fantasy books would be together and then they would be organized by color and the end color would go into romance of the same color and then those were a rainbow too, etc.
I'm love watching book reviewers. I mainly watch fantasy reviews and never read romance, but your enthusiasm and fun personality shine, so I'm along for the vibes. 😅❤
It has been snowing nonstop this weekend, so yesterday I finally went through all my books. After years of hoarding, we unhauling 😃🙌🏼😂 It’s so many books like whoa. I feel like a literal weight has been taken off (my shelves). Lol, I’m really glad I discovered this channel last month. Been binge watching and I just love your personality! 🥹🫶🏻
I was going to watch this yesterday and then heard your rendition of I'll Make a Man out of You and immediately listened to the entire soundtrack and watched the movie. Now I am finally watching your video; haha thanks Khalilah, you've made me so happy 💜
4:44 You are my type of reader. I am NOT a fan of reading series. I don’t like the commitment and my ADHD/anxiety is just not here for it. I need completion.
I like this decluttering UNhaul. Your screen presence is awesome and I relate to it so much. Me, I give my books as soon as I'm done unless I absolutely love them!
Omg going out in the freezing cold weather with a puffer vest is so relatable hahahah!! Love that you were able to fill up so many free little libraries!
my toxic trait is loving your personality, and admiring your commitment to being a bookworm!! 💖 why do i want to be friends w you? who wouldnt lolllll :)
Wow! YOU are infectious! Your energy, wit, and the way you come across on camera is so refreshing AND your distaste for American Psycho had me hooked! I look forward to seeing more of your content.
Hi Khalilah! Just wanted to say that your videos genuinely make my day. Whenever I watch a video of yours, either I smile or I laugh or I talk to the screen as if you can hear me lol. Its always a treat! Sending much love
it's the first time that I see one of your videos in my recommendation page and girlll you're gorgeous! And you give such cozy vibes. Other than that I appreciate that you read something that brings you joy before going to bed, sometimes I forget that because I study literature in Italy and I always have the feeling that I have to read heavy books and not giving myself the pleasure of reading something just for fun. Thank you for creating these videos for us!
Love your videos! ❤ I updated my bookshelves a couple of weeks ago and reorganized alphabetically based on author's last name (created a spreadsheet to do the heavy lifting) and I have LOVED it. So easy to find things and I surprisingly really like how the books look eclectic when mixed and matched with different authors. It also helps me to not accidentally re-buy any books that are on my physical TBR. Just a thought - organizing by genre is fun too! 😊
To answer your main question, I know, this is super individual, but I often get rid of books which I loved as well. I prefer to only surround myself with the ones that had touched me the most. When I loved a book but feel like it's time to let go, I just do it. 🙂❤
the ‘my wallet’ meme had me rolling. I need to go through my books as well. And those glasses are neat! i love how you can swap them like that. I like the rainbow effect of your books, but i can understand having your series together
6:04 "BY A THREAD" 😡 That made me cackle! I hated that book, too! And every booktuber I watched loved that book. I just could not understand how anyone could like that book. I feel so validated!
I recently got rid of like 40 something books and I’ll be getting some cash for it, I sent it to one company who repurposes them and sells them to new people so they still get enjoyed. I have small bookshelve and had to get rid of some books definitely, with the money I’ll buy new ones ✨
Great intro song, no notes. You're so adorable! How is this the first I'm seeing of you, yet I was already subscribed? And also, yay, someone else didn't like The Midnight Library! It lacked any kind of subtlety, and was basically jamming its message into our throats at every single point. We don't have a lot in common when it comes to our tastes in books, but you're very fun to watch.
I bought The Goldfinch at the thriftstore! It is translated to my language but maybe that's a good thing, since it's so long. I will also do a unhaul this year
I did this at the end of the year and it felt so good because now i feel like a have the space to bring home more books that i really like. Giving books aways its a really nice feeling because i hope pleople find the peace that i feel when am reading those books. Also the part were you kick your kneecap was hilarious hope u are fine tho.
Regarding your book sorting system: I've seen a booktuber only doing stand alones by color, so that series can stick together. Probably gonna do that too
I have my books by genre and I have a spot for all the series I have yet to read (that shelf is really full😅). I also flip my books so I only see the spines of the books I need to read so I'm not constantly tempted to reread the books I love 😂
well done! I am very proud of you and your decisions about books (when you asked about some books if you should keep them or not, and I was nodding all the time, then you kept them 🎉🎉, it was great chemistry 😂) thank you for so comfy videos, have a hood day 💜😊
YESS!! The intro was 👨🏻🍳💋🤌🏼 I love mulan!! Also how many book hauls have you made recently?? My parents put me on a book buying ban so I have to read all the ones I have first😭😭
You are nutty, and I love it!😂 I get rid of hates, no longer interested/applies, just ok. I don't have a ton of books, but agood portion are sentimental even though i don't want to read them again.
I prefer standalones too :) I dnfed the wreck the halls SO QUICK but then i read it happened one summer the next day and it was so good. i seriously need to unhaul my copy of wreck the halls stat. Oh nooo i love and then there were none it's my favourite agatha christie oop 🙈 but she's not for everyone. good job unhauling!! I unhauled beach read too. Meh read. I did like exit west though.
My criteria: I hated it, I DNF'd it, I will never read it (tastes do change), and I won't reread it (ever or anytime soon). I give away books I enjoy. I think it's OK to keep one or two books from a series if I start liking it. I also have to remind my self that I can read it even if I don't own it. Libraries do exist. Also, some book series are so big I just keep them in ebook format. Other things to remember: It's nice to pass on books to someone who will appreciate them. Life lesson: Not every book is for you. Also, perfection is the enemy of progress - you can unhaul a book later if it's too hard to decide now. Maintaining a library is a process, not a one-time task.
I feel the same about midnight library i don’t understand the hype around it I was sooooo bored reading couldn’t wait to finish it but took me awfully long time to finish
When it comes to series, I'll buy the first one on a kindle and if I love it I'll get the physical copies as trophies for my shelf. If it's only okay, I'll just read the ebook version

Wow, thank you! you just made my day 💜
your energy is SO good, i've never subbed to someone so fast
lol happy you’re here! 🫶🏽
I love getting rid of books that i dont like! Also I love the singing at the start, and the threat to burn American Psycho 😂😂😂😂

You singing Mulan’s soundtrack is such a vibe-
I swear that movie has the best songs 😭
IT DOES

Right?! I’m happy to see I’m not the only one 😅
@@khalilahd. You’re telling me! You’re basically the only BookTuber who doesn’t read series, and I for real love you for it.
Any day Khalilah posts is a good day😆
A Good Girls Guide series just gets better and better! You should read the other two books!
As soon as I saw ‘The 7/12 deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle’ on that TBR cart I was like “Just let that one go, babe, no need to even read it” 🤣
Is it bad 😩
I really enjoyed it 🤷
Oh I’ve been wanting to read that. What didn’t you like about it??
Nooo, I loved that book 😭
I like this decluttering UNhaul. Your screen presence is awesome and I relate to it so much. Me, I give my books as soon as I'm done unless I absolutely love them!

Please collab!
lol I really didn’t think that part through 😫 but I had so much fun giving away books! Now I see why you do it so often!
I’ve been meaning to do this! I’m going to do this today. Thanks for the reminder and inspo!
I agree about series these days. They are way too hit or miss and my heart can’t handle the misses 🥺
my toxic trait is loving your personality, and admiring your commitment to being a bookworm!! 💖 why do i want to be friends w you? who wouldnt lolllll :)

bookshelf video is now the only thing that can keep me going

you’re literally so funny which I loveee! I love your videos and your energy
you are literally such a sunshine :')
Talking about series I read & loved The Summer I Turned Pretty. I read it spring of ‘23 & I read all 3 in like a week and a half
Love love LOVE an unhaul 🤍
I have never seen one of your videos. But after that Mulan intro, I instantly subbed.
Haha Welcome aboard!
I love that all this chaos ensues alone in your room while you film it
Yess please update the bookshelve by like a vibe
I have like binged your videos today, you have just gained a sub!! 🫶❤️
Khalilah you need to read all of the Agggtm series it was so good I loved it!
Gosh you're an upbeat lady. I wish everybody could be like you. Plus, you like the same kinds of books I do. 😊
Enjoy the best of both worlds-- do the rainbow for each genre !
I love how you said you hated books in a way that you would say when you love a book
the ‘my wallet’ meme had me rolling. I need to go through my books as well. And those glasses are neat! i love how you can swap them like that. I like the rainbow effect of your books, but i can understand having your series together
I love your energy. We seem to have similar reading taste, at least in contemporary fiction. I am glad I found your page. ❤
6:04 "BY A THREAD" 😡 That made me cackle! I hated that book, too! And every booktuber I watched loved that book. I just could not understand how anyone could like that book. I feel so validated!
The way you got me listening to i'll make a man out of you.... just from that i got it stuck in my head all day 🤣
Aahhhhhhh reorganising the bookshelf!!!🤗 I personally like to go by genre/vibe🤓
I unhaul my books in free tiny libraries too
a good way to sort the book shelf is realism to magic
You should definitely redo the bookshelf by genres. I think it will turn out pretty good. 📚
I recently got rid of like 40 something books and I’ll be getting some cash for it, I sent it to one company who repurposes them and sells them to new people so they still get enjoyed. I have small bookshelve and had to get rid of some books definitely, with the money I’ll buy new ones ✨

I love your energy! Great video Xx
I just brought the book "AND THEN THERE WERE NON " BY Agatha Christie. And I was really exited about it ❤❤❤. I really hope that i like this book.

I organize my books by height! Usually results in series being grouped together
Yeah I made that same mistake with series books..
I donate books that I didn't love but were ok, and the books that were so bad I couldn't finish.
When it comes to series, I'll buy the first one on a kindle and if I love it I'll get the physical copies as trophies for my shelf. If it's only okay, I'll just read the ebook version
I won Eleanor Oliphant Is Fine from a giveaway from Gianna Lian, I wanted it because you recommended!

wow thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear that this book impacted you the same way it did me. It was so good!
