Why are unhauls so satisfying to watch? 🤔 I don't know, but they are! 😊

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

They are like spring cleaning 🎉

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Haha, I don't know either but I totally get it!

[@mis3rygloom117]

Satisfying. I love watching unhaul videos. I really want to read "IT" but it's so long. I'll read it one day though. But this is gonna feel fresh when you move. ❤ I can't wait to watch the next one.

[@lilaccottage]

A Midnight Dance is my 2nd favorite Joanna Davidson Politano. So, so good! I love the romance in that book.

[@lovelydaywithholly]

Phantom tolbooth is really fun!!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

I've heard that before, maybe I'll get to it for Middle Grade March!

[@rebecca_is_book-hooked]

Totally agree! Such a fun book!

[@joannek4185]

Thank you for reminding me of Trixie Beldon! I temporarily forgot about these books, I was a bigger fan of Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys in my early teens but my sister gave me a lot of Trixie Beldons and I loved them too. I'm going to put it on my Goodreads TBR. I'm looking forward to seeing what you think.

[@Amethyst678]

Oh I had forgotten all about Trixie Beldon. Mum used to buy them for me when I was a kid and I remember them being a really fun read. I think I might have to have a hunt around as I’m sure I still have them somewhere 😊

[@sandyokey1019]

In my opinion, you can unhaul Scarlett. Gone with the wind is good and I would recommend reading that, but Scarlett was a disappointment for me, and definitely not a classic. You did very well with this unhaul.💕

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@user-iz6cc6lz3j-Vickie]

It was a disappointment to me too

[@melissabrown3976]

I also agree on Scarlett. Gone with the Wind is wonderful but Scarlett you can pass on.

[@emilyreads5207]

Personally, I think you can add Gonen with the Wind to the unhaul pile.

[@MargaretM.]

Omgoodness! I saw Left to Tell on your shelf! I'm glad you didn't unhaul that one. It is so so good! It is my favorite non-fiction book and definitely in my top five favorite books ever! I highly recommend :). Lovely unhaul! Can't wait to watch the next one!

[@Mandy302]

Maybe you could start a church library in your new church with all the books you want to get rid of😊

[@bytesofmemory]

Looks like a great stack of ones you weren't excited to read! You have a bunch to get rid of or read to get to 100 but at the same time if you get rid of some you aren't interested in then the ones you take with you you will be excited about plus you can always watch for any that you missed at a thrift store or little free library. I read Gone With the Wind and liked it.. but not enough to want to read Scarlet.

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Yes, I'm hoping to have a physical TBR where I'm excited about each of the books!

[@starlasell5698]

❤📚 I think you did a great job unhauling. I look forward to your next unhaul video. I'm not moving, but I know I need to do this too. When I got back into constant reading, I bought "all" the books ...now I know my taste more, the amount is overwhelming. Great job!!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

That was a lot of my problem too, buying books when I didn't quite know my tastes and therefore buying a lot of books I'm not actually interested in.

[@ashleamarshall9370]

Great job! This makes me want to go through my shelves and cull a few, especially since I have more books coming in the mail today 😅

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

The eternal problem!

[@sarahstangledtales]

Good job unhauling! I feel you on being hesitant to get rid of books even though you know you won’t like them-I’m facing that dilemma right now with a series and I haven’t landed on a satisfactory result yet.

[@aes4467]

Awwwwwwww, seeing "Emerald Windows" reminded me of happy days. My great grandmother lent me that about 20 years ago! :D I had almost forgotten that it existed.

[@crystalh28]

Great job unhauling! 👏👏👏 I'm trying to finish up the current books I have out from the library and then I want to seriously tackle the books I own. I am out of shelf space, and as much as I love books, the minimalist in me is cringing at the couple of piles I have laying around.

[@LittlePrairieLibrary]

Sucessful declutter! I could stand to do a tbr purge, it's scary lol.

[@ChanyeolsHaneul]

I think I should do same with my ebook collection cause chances I gonna read them are really small and they just taking space on my external hard drive. 😊

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

I did this too

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

That's a good idea!

[@rachelpalmer5185]

I’m glad you got rid of so many books! Though I will say it physically hurt me when you so easily just got rid of fairest! I love that book😢

[@user-iz6cc6lz3j-Vickie]

I have been looking for the Katherine parr by Alison weir forever. I have 6 big bookcases full of books. I have been decluttering my books. I have gotten rid of a couple hundred so far.

[@sandyvdh6226]

You get to be so lucky if you live in a big enough house that you can habmve 6 bookceses full of books. Many of my unreads and second hand sale ones are in a family member 's attic and I sort of own 2 book cases but they are like piled with 2 rows of books.... instead of neatly 1 row as should be...

[@user-iz6cc6lz3j-Vickie]

@@sandyvdh6226 I live in a mobile home but my 2 small bedrooms are my book rooms

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Book in the video of the episode where you buy back the books you regret getting rid of! Good luck with the move and with the reading choices this year.

[@HardcoreHeartChris]

Finding this passionate channel at the end of last year was the icing on my best year, thank you Chantel :)

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Thanks for being here!

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

You can get rid of Scarlett. It's not nearly as good as GWTW but Melissa at Libraries and Labradors did like it. Plus I don't know about there but I can always find it at a thrift store.

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Sweet, glad to hear there is another I can get rid of!

[@melissapalmer9140]

I read all the Trixie Beldens when I was younger.

[@mizsuzee]

I'm currently reading my 6th of the six Tudor Queens series - I love Alison Weir and the Tudor era!!!

[@MorgansEndlessBookshelf]

I love Conilynn Cossette, so I'm kind of sad you're getting rid of that one, but I understand if you don't like Biblical fiction. Super impressed by the amount you're unhauling!

[@psalm19creations]

Yikes, I could not imagine having to try to get rid of 2/3 of my unread books! Good luck!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Ha, thanks Charlene!

[@insearchofwonder]

Great job unhauling. Getting rid of stuff is easy for me... except for books. 😬

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Books can be hard to get rid of, especially if I don't know if they'll be good or not but it does feel good to get a bunch of them off of my shelf!

[@victoria9663]

So motivating!! Love this! I think it's very good that you got rid of "It"...even as a Stephen King fan I refuse to read that one, it's so disturbing 😅

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Good to know!

[@pilgrimlearning9530]

Oooh which are those abridged versions of Illiad and Odyssey? I've tried getting into them a few times and I just can't 😅 Good job unhauling!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

They are published by Kingfisher! I don't know if they're any good or not but I'm hoping so!

[@sherribugd3799]

Book sale!

[@lostinbooks2278]

Your daughter might enjoy reading Fairest by Gail Carson Levine. It’s a good book!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

I'm pretty sure she's read it already!

[@intoalivinghope]

Margot was an interesting book. If I remember correctly, I just felt so sad at the end of the book because she actually died in real life. 😢

[@Moriahg]

I'm sad you're throwing out The Devil in the White City but I can also see how it's not for everyone.

[@ChautonaHavig]

I'm not a Willa Cather fan, so My Antonia would go super fast. Then again, I didn't like Scarlett at all either. I'm so disappointed to hear Ogden Nash is crass, I've only read funny ones (but I think they were meant for kids now that I think of it, so maybe that's why). What Would Maisie Do would be a fast read. Just fun commentary on some of the things in the books (not spoilery I don't think), so you could skim through it and leave behind. I doubt it'll be a "keep forever" kind of book. Just a fun one to read if you like Maisie. I did not like The Skylark's War. The last third or so felt like the author didn't care anymore and just rushed through it. And there were elements that meant I wouldn't give it to a kid under about 15 or more.

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

Thanks for those thoughts, I'm probably going to do another once over of the entire shelves before we move so it's nice to know if there's a few more I can get rid of!

[@rebecca_is_book-hooked]

Vanity Fair was just okay for me. I don’t think the story is worth the time it takes to read it. Maybe an abridged version would be better. Devil in the White City I was also not into very much.

[@jerry-rd1vt]

Plz recommend one novel for my project about 250 pages

[@danieleigh6468]

Are you going to sell any of your unhaul? Also what do you use to dust your books mine get so dusty

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

I'll bring them to my local used bookstore, they give money for them. Annnd I've never dusted my books . . . 😬 They don't seem that dusty though, maybe it's just where I live?
