I'm so proud of you for unhauling stuff you don't enjoy. It reminds me of Marie Kondo's method of decluttering. Essentially, you part ways with items that no longer give you joy and thank them for what joy (if any) that they have given to you. In the end, you're left with things you care most about/give you the most joy in the present
Videos like this make me so excited to do the same with my own collection! Here's to an era of being our best reader selves and having books that aren't just pretty on the outside, but also contain a story we would be happy to return over and over again
You did great! I used to love to collect books, now I have a rule, I only buy a phisicial edition of a book I really loved. That way, I'm sure my collection will always make me happy.
I'm a little sad you're not giving _The Southern Book Club's Guide..._ a chance. I've read 3 of Grady Hendrix's books, and I strongly disliked two of them. Book Club's Guide though? LOVED it. The female characters actually seemed very nuanced and fascinating to me.😅 And the way some of the husbands were so much worse than any mythical monster could even hope to be... man. Some scenes made me squirm, others made me laugh, there were episodes that made my blood boil. But the book itself was solid start to finish. Horrifying, entertaining, layered. I'd ask you to maybe give it a chance if you still have it around... but then again, unhauling is a slay move, so do whatever's best for your library, Jesse.❤
Here for the unhauling yap. 👏🏻 I just did another big unhaul too & it’s so satisfying going into the new year only having books you’re truly excited about!
I love seeing this and feel validated in going through my own books. I have recently realized that my habit in collecting books was based on if it was popular, not always if I truly wanted to read it. Plus I had this weird sense of "I'm not a true book reader if I don't own a lot of books." (This is a terrible combo lol) Since going through my shelf and trying to read my physical tbr, I have never felt more free in just dnf'ing and letting books go that I don't want. The downside is that I also took the dust jackets off of quite few books a while ago, and I'm pretty sure I threw them away in a move. There are books I want to keep, but also want the dust jackets 😭😭
I like the idea of unhauling read books that aren't a good representation of you as a reader. I've been debating what I should keep and what I should get rid of. This video actually helped me solidify how I want to handle my own book collection. I'm going to unhaul anything that I have read and is not either a 5 star or significant to me in some other way (met the author, etc.) Thank you for the video!
i know its not going to be the same experience but why dont you just read or watch some spoilers for the 1st two books of the dark artifices? there are some reviews out there that are very detailed. im not sure for dark atrifices but im sure there would be some very detailed ones since its an old and famous series. thats what i did for some series that i was too lazy to reread 😂
As I age and get more comfortable with who I am as a person I feel I am able to disconnect and unhaul books I felt I needed to keep years previous, and bit by bit I build a book collection that more accurately reflects me and what I love most.
I have about seven bags of books I'm unhauling, different genres and a few nonfiction. This is weird, but I'm debating getting rid of Dan Brown's The DaVinci Code. It's the Special Illustrated Edition. The writing and plot are okay. What I really like is the symbology, the goddessy stuff, and the idea that the search for the holy grail is the search for the sacred feminine, which the Church has eradicated over the centuries. This edition includes photos of relevant paintings, churches and locations. I should note that I'm not a Christian, but I still like some aspects of the novel. I don't think I'll ever re-read it again though (I read twice).
Until about 2 years ago, if I found a book interesting, or it was on sale, I bought it. Then I counted how many books I had versus had read... I stated issuing challenges to read an entire shelf, or bookcase, and if I read a book and didn't think it was that great, I could let it go. It's definitely taken some work, but I'm working my way through my bookcases. The fact that the local library is literally across the street temporarily has also finally gotten me back into libraries. Having that option has opened up reading possibilities, so I now try to only buy books I've read and want to own, or am 90% sure I'll love because I know the author. I think I've bought less than 10 books in the last 2 years, most of which I found at Costco on sale.
Popping back in to add…I don’t mind at all when the picture of the book is inserted instead of holding up the physical book. It’s easier to see because it isn’t moving around, and also easier to screenshot. 🤷🏾♀️
The dark artifices is actually what introduced me to shadow hunters plus I did watch and LOVE the show so I kinda knew what happened aside from the changes
I used to be the type to not unhaul books but lately I unhaul when I don't like the book. There's just one author that I keep his books even if they are not the best. I am also getting better at getting rid of the books specifically since I don't have a lot of shelf space
Could you make a unhaul jar, kind of like a tbr jar where theu have themes or genres and you have to pick a book to unhaul based on what you pick from the jar. It might make you make some hard decisions rather than just scannig the shelves. Just of like a gut check (if you watch good mythical morning) what book did you hate based on your gut reaction to the theme you pick
Wow i don't think i could break up my Shadowhunters books but I'm the a reader who keeps books i don't like giving them away unless I have a replacement for the book
I defo unhaul any book I gave 3⭐or less! It pisses me off to see it on my shelves and to think I've spent money on something that was just mid or bad 😆 Unless it's part of a series I've enjoyed or an author I like, then it has to leave my house ASAP.

I swear you've been saying you're putting the dust jackets back on for at least six months... 😂
I'll be really excited to see the books with their jackets on again
TRUE LOL

„WHAT IS WITH ALL THE PISS?“ 😂😂 thank God I watched this with earphones in
I’ve disliked every Grady Hendrix book I’ve read except….the Southern Book Club. It’s one of my favorite horror books.

Totally behind you on the Mortal Instruments series. 😅
You perfectly described my feelings for a study in drawning and legends and lattes 😂
I'm bad at unhauling. It's like I'm a dragon and the books are my hoard. Only the really bad ones are yeeted out.

I think they just announced that A Study in Drowning is getting a sequel for some reason.
iiiiinteresting. feels a little unnecessary to me.
I liked A study in drowning 😢
as much as i love 'asid', i genuinely see no reason for a sequel... but I'll still be buying it to read it since i love it so much. 😊
@@nobellesshorts same here

i'm pretty proud of my book collection... but i still dream of having a dedicated room for books like yours one day. ❤

I thought I would be someone who keeps books like trophies, but as soon as I read my first book I didn't love i wanted it gone immediately

Still annoyed about the intermission grief section of COT 🥲
