Bookshelf Ultimatum #1 | i must read them or unhaul them

Welcome to my new reading vlog series... Bookshelf Ultimatum.
I created this series to help me get books on my shelves read. ESPECIALLY books that may have been forgotten about because of all the new and shiny books i've hauled since.
**shout out to Kayla from ​⁠ ‪@BooksandLala‬ for inspiring this idea! She had a Closet Cleanout series years ago that i was OBSESSED with and took that and put my own little twist on it.

Reading my own physical tbr ❌ watching someone else reading their tbr✅😂

[@BethMorvant]

😂😂😂

[@michellewilson6210]

Don't feel bad about dnf. The target was to remove books from your tbr and just have books you love. You achieved that and still removed those books.

[@2Sayurichan0]

The fact that you are crocheting while updating the audience is too adorable to me....New Subbie

[@BethMorvant]

Thank you 🫶🏻 it’s my newest hyper fixation😜

[@KYX1994]

Love a booktuber who knows when to DNF! No time for books that aren't enjoyable🎉🎉🎉 100% gonna follow you in your unhaul journey😉

[@starlasell5698]

I have 477 unread books on my shelves, and I'm trying to "read my bookshelf " this year, too! Good luck!!! Subscribed! I've got to see your progress, so exciting.

[@ChelseaZhao]

I’m so glad I found your channel through this video. I’m also a Booktuber mom and just hearing you say how your reading has slowed down and you’re not getting as much sleep because of kids is just so real. You’ve got a new sub!

[@AmberResells]

This was the first video I’ve watched from your channel, and I loved it! I was hoping it was like a year old so I could watch #2, #3, etc. it’s satisfying to know you’re clearing out the books that you didn’t enjoy. Going to check out some other videos on your channel now.

[@justletmecommentffs]

"What else do you want from me?" I love itttt. You're such a breath of fresh air

[@michellegleave2550]

Unhauls always feel good to me because it clears away what you don’t like and makes space for the new books coming on! I don’t think it was a fail at all because your goal was simply to get to them and reduce your TBR, and you did! You’ve inspired me to create a TBR jar similar to yours, although I might do a spinner wheel. Great video!

[@BrittWarren201]

I am fully obsessed with this idea!! So, here I am, officially joining the ride lol

[@pettyella6607]

I think I'm joining in too😳. Very good inspiration!

[@snayres_]

I am SO glad i found you! I absolutely love your opinion & how honest you are 😂 and the plot twist that the series WONT BE FINISHED?? I would be heartbroken!

[@BethMorvant]

I’m so glad I figured it out prior to getting to the end of book two, but I’m still sad about it 😂

[@shade240]

the fact that there are so many hardback books you own is crazy to me, they cost so much 😭😭

[@badmothertucker6579]

I am really here for this concept!!!!

[@monkeyheadbonkers9303]

I could listen to you all day. And everyone is right. That intro was life. I have 500ish books on mine 🤣 Love this challenge.

[@BethMorvant]

Thank you 💕 I’m not mad at a big TBR 😜 idk if I’ll ever make it to under 100 books on mine, but we’re gonna at least get a lot of dusty books read 🩷

[@Summer_and_Rain]

I adore these types of challenges :) I think you did amazing. A lot of people have a hard time letting go off books even if they hate them, so it was refreshing to see you sticking to your got

[@montezholcomb1042]

I’ve been keeping a tally of my physically read books off my shelves for the year, I love this idea!

[@carlatowns6942]

Beth!! That intro?! *chef's kiss* ok, let me get back to the video.

[@BethMorvant]

Thank you! 🩷💕🥰

[@ashthebooksloth6265]

Yes Beth That intro..... looks like someone else's video.

[@amylaurel]

I love this! It’s so satisfying to see people work through their tbr 🙂 can’t wait for the next in the series!

[@MrsCobberoni]

Whoa - I love the approach! No necessarily getting rid of this in the very end if you never even got to them…but I feel your emotions in the beginning and my heart feels you! 💗 warm hugs and happy reading!

[@banaa9463]

I'm so glad I found your channel! I love your reviewing style. It's so much fun. Even though the video was almost an hour, I felt time fly. Subscribed!

[@ebreads]

I’m so happy I found your channel!! Your old channel was one of my faves!💗

[@butterfly-angel25]

I really enjoyed watching this episode of the series. I'm looking forward to watching more.

[@reginabeecher17]

Can’t wait to continue watching this series! Loved this!

[@heatheroakes8987]

I freaking love this for you bc your tbr has caused you stress for so long lol. This was a fantastic idea

[@Bookswithcassandra]

I enjoy this type of series and I like when there are plenty of DNFs. I like when there are many books cleared off the shelves! 😊

[@kendalls2779]

This is my first video of yours and was already loving you when you brought up Charmed! It's my favorite show and I found a new favorite booktuber lol

[@tonah1425]

Great idea for a video! Excited to continue the series! ❤

[@ABookLikeYou]

This is such a fun idea! 😄

[@annotatedbyvictoria]

That intro was motivating! I’m happy that you are back on KZbin!

[@geeahsimone5443]

Once you said oh how the turns have tabled, I cackled and immediately subscribed 😂😂

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Congratulations on 1000 subscribers. So many books and so little time. Best wishes with your reading choices. I hope you get some great stories.

[@BethMorvant]

Thank you so much! 🩷

Thank you 💖

[@meganm2613]

Love it! You had me at the bathrobe, F-bombs and screaming children in the background. YOU ARE MY AESTHETIC and it’s awesome ❤

[@emilydameron4480]

i love seeing riley sager books on your shelf!!!! the only one left helped me get out of my 4 year slump!!!

[@BethMorvant]

I’ve read all but his latest. I’ve actually met him in person as well! Pretty cool guy

[@emilyelizabethbooklover]

This was a fun video to watch and I love the concept! 😊

[@dreamlanddiaries96]

Omg I love your videos 😂 just discovered your channel and you are so much fun to watch!

[@tamarabotha8720]

This whole premise……..LOVE it!

[@teacherlovesbeauty]

This is a great idea! I don't have as many TBR books, but if I did, I'd do this!

[@reneeelich4893]

I have been doing the same, after moving and getting mad I had to move so many books that I haven't read. I didn't take the time to make a jar though, I've just been averaging reading two of those books a week.

[@jennysullivan7525]

Love the series idea! I used to watch you back in the day and just found you again with this video. Just wanted to chime in about the Fire and Flood duology. Yes, there was supposed to be a third book. And the end of the second book is left a bit open with book 3 in mind. But the race does end in book 2, you arent left in a cliffhanger like you thought. Of course I completely understand not wanting to get into a series that wasnt fully completed via the authors plans. But I enjoyed it as a duology and felt satisfied when I finished it.

[@BethMorvant]

Oh ok. I wonder why the author said it was left on a cliffhanger. I also read comments on that same post asking about who got the cure so I guess I just assumed the race wasn’t fully finished. I think the author could at least post it as a blog post if she doesn’t want to pay to publish the ending. 😵‍💫

[@jennysullivan7525]

@@BethMorvant I agree, she could have shared her intentions with the third book on her platform maybe. In terms of book 2, maybe she considered it a cliffhanger and I didn't? By the time I read the second book I already knew the third book hadn't been picked up, so maybe it was my mindset knowing it was the end. But I'm certain I remember the race ending. The left open part was for what was happening next.

[@alissajoelle5443]

I love the concept of your book blanket!

[@BethMorvant]

I’m starting it today and I’m so excited!

[@Kaimaree123]

I love how it feels like you're just gossiping with your friends 😂. I love the energy 😌

[@shanna811]

I was trying to pick something to read today since I needed a break from the last few romances on my TBR for March so I decided to pick the first booktub vlog that came up on my feed and this was the video. You made Night Will Find You sound so good. I read it. I didn't get the Charmed vibes but it was a really good book. Thanks for the rec.

[@courters521]

I loved watching this. I like the concept of this video!

[@multicraftual]

This was so fun to watch! Excited to watch you go on this journey!

[@jacqiewheeler]

I started walking around the house saying *literally* the way you do 😂😂

[@BethMorvant]

Girl, I don’t even know where I picked it up from 😂

[@joseeshelf]

omg i love it, cause i know i am not alone with buying cause the cover is pretty, you saying " ohh the book i bought because it looked like taylor swift! " i feel that one :D

[@bethanyu4911]

I just found your channel and I’m loving it. Love your personality!

[@sorenkrane]

Happy to find another mom reader! Totally get the change in reading.

[@ThePlannedReader]

I know this is a bit late but you could listen to rereads as audiobooks to save time! Having a massive physical tbr is honesty goals

[@BethMorvant]

Oh I do that for sure! Except for fantasy or romance, for the most part because I just prefer them as physical reads. 😜 if I still remember a lot of the books, I won’t need to reread but a lot of the series I have on my shelf, I started well over five years ago and I would just enjoy it better if I read it again.

[@ThePlannedReader]

@@BethMorvant yeah I usually just listen to nonfiction besides I listened to the graphic audio for ACOTAR as a reread lol

[@queenkim8631]

Loved the intro!!! And I'm going to love this series 😁 can't wait until the next installment 😌

this intro was copied by another book tuber that did not get the credit - takes 2 seconds to credit someone. 🥭

[@katie.anne14]

OBSESSED BEYOND with this series concept!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@millymollymrst3537]

Hi Beth, I totally get it, my tbr is the same. Think I may have to try this myself. My trouble is I've got a bad habit of reading my least favourite first. I'm currently in a reading slump which I hate. Great video by the way.😊

[@stephanieholmes1607]

hi so I rarely comment on videos, I watch and then click on the next as I am usually in the middle of something else and don't have anything to say anyway. I just wanted to say that this is the first video of yours I have watched and I really enjoyed the casual style and reviews you gave. It was chill, relaxed and overall enjoyable :) going to watch part 2 now!

[@BethMorvant]

Thank you Stephanie! And thank you so much for watching 🫶🏻

[@liminal.season]

I added night will find you to my tbr!! It seems my kind of vibe

[@marciabailey7756]

This motivated me to do something similar to my books. ❤Thanks!

[@BethMorvant]

Yay!! I hope it’s super successful 🩷

[@nowaycrochet]

I haven’t read too good to be true but have it on my tbr shelf. As someone who likes to go into books not knowing a thing, I have a feeling I’ll be unhauling it now because I know too much. 😅

[@BethMorvant]

I mean, I didn’t spoil anything lol how do you watch BookTube at all if you have to unhaul the books people talk about?

[@nowaycrochet]

@@BethMorvant I usually try to avoid the play by play reviews. I’ve never watched your videos before so I didn’t know your style of reviewing. I don’t always unhaul after learning about a book. I could just tell

[@michaelmyerslovesbooks]

This was sooo fun! I love watching people declutter books that are taking up space. ( and that you don't love) So don't feel bad about the dnfs! You're still making a dent and thinning that giant herd.😂

[@BethMorvant]

True! 💕

[@elizabethandrus3848]

Hi Beth, I am a new BOTM subscriber and can't wait to have bookshelves filled with loved books; so I do hope you are successful with your goals. I order 4 books a month which are doable for me, but I now have a few I purchased at Half-Priced Books. Ah ha! I can see how I might have a jar filled with little pink slips myself. Enjoyed your video! Thanks for sharing! Elizabeth

[@BethMorvant]

Yay! I hope your library grows and gets much needed love 🩷 thank you so much for watching

[@ravent3016]

This was a fun session of Read or Unhaul. I salute your resolve. In the future, I think it's good to mention potential triggers when it comes to mysteries and thrillers especially. SO many have violence against women and/or children.

[@BethMorvant]

There are many sources out there that can list the triggers. I personally don’t like to know the triggers prior to going in because it can spoil the story, especially in thrillers.

[@kaysbookishworld]

such good idea. also loved that intro :) Also you said Charmed and you sold me with that book! I need that book in my life now haha

[@nowaycrochet]

Suggestion for your book blanket, choose a medium to tall stitch if you want a full size blanket ❤

[@BethMorvant]

I’ve started it and I did a granny stripe I do need to make sure I don’t go into a horrible slump tho or we will end up with a scarf 😂

[@LaynasBookshelf]

I read that Carola Lovering book a few years ago when it came out and I really enjoyed it and hearing your thought spiral on it, makes me want to reread 😂

[@BethMorvant]

😂😂😂 this happens to a lot. I just watched Jordyn’s new video and she mentioned that this author typically does romance suspense, and I guess if you go into it knowing that you won’t be upset as I was. 😜

[@jasminejacob8651]

Just started to follow you! I’m already loving it, I’m 100% doing this because my tbr is massive lol 😂

New subbie 😊 Good luck with unhauling! Hehehe loved your review of the first book - I’m like you: “the book sucked” or “loved the book” and I leave all the literary comments to others. Sometimes you just gotta say it as it is 🤟🏻 22:29 I’ve had the same issue with The Midnight Sun (book 5 of Twilight) and just watched the movies to remind myself what happened
