Honestly, I kind of selfishly don't want this to end! I love these videos so much, one of the few series on KZbin I'll drop everything to watch. I'd love to see it continue 'Shelve it or Scrap it' next year if you don't get through stacks, and even if you do, a similar series about reading down your shelved unread books would be fun.

I feel like the subscription boxes are killing the stacks progress. It’s just difficult to stay ahead of them. But progress is being made nonetheless. And I love this series. So much. Soooooooo much.

I think that your changing relationship with buying box has changed Booktube. Almost every Booktuber has a similar series. Also I see it in my book community at my work. We talk about special edition and what ones are worth the value

1:37:22 it’s funny because, there actually are communities that every year DO decorate the entire town, or at least the main downtown. As a Michigander I can share some places; Marquette, Traverse City, Greenfield VIlliage, Rochester, Frankenmuth and there is a literal town named Christmas in the Upper Penninsula. 😂😂❤❤😂😂 Plus some college towns have some sweet traditions, such as at Michigan Tech, an Ice Sculpture contest (It’s cold enough to make the ice on the front lawn) between the Greek houses. Sculptures getting to 7ft in height sometimes 😂❄️

I’m not sure how much you kept up with the books you haul for past years. But if you do maybe do an episode where you read the oldest books you have? Or maybe read the first book in a series if you have a lot of books in the series. Like books on the shelves since most of the stack is books you only own one book from.

There is a town in Washington state called Leavenworth and it is on theme everyday of the year, and their holiday setup is epic. Also, in Colorado there is a mountain town called Vail that is also very on point, but Leavenworth is Bavarian themed and even people working in the shops wear traditional clothing. It’s wild.

In the Ravenous Dark sounds like it's inspired by Strigoi. Which are spirits risen from the dead that can shape shift and feed on their victim's blood (this is highly simplified). The myths are linked to Romania and Roman times, which makes sense with the setting as well.

Have you kept track of how many stack books you shelved vs scrapped? It took me way too long to figure out how you could have fewer unread books but no fewer books in the stacks (eventually it clicked that you must be shelving a lot of books).

You should do an episode of shelve it or scrap it where you pick a random comment of your tbr and read it. It would change the dynamic a little and I believe you will have some good recommendation out of there. It might not help to reduce the stack, but it will impact your tbr.

Hey Becca ! I don't think you need to worry too much (ironic of me to say that... lol). Its normal to receive books as a book influencer. Someone said to me : bookshelves are made to receive books to read and discover. Having unreads is normal. You are going through them and you made huge progresses!! This serie was so addictive haha, i think everyoen wants it to continue. As you say, you don't buy for buying, you don't overconsumate and the only you buy several edition are red rising and CC. And you might even sell some you least like in the future. Its fine!! There are much more worst, people that just buy for buying and that is regrettable for the environment. You are not doing it!!

I'm actually pretty surprised that you liked 5 broken blades! I thought the plot was really interesting, but the characters and the romance killed it for me. Like the hit man is constantly switching between incredibly sexist thoughts and how annoying he finds the thief, and wanting to sleep with her. None of the people in the pairings actually like one another
