CLEARING OUT MY BOOKSHELVES // Massive End Of Year Unhaul // Getting rid of 100+ books

[@chloestarshine]

I wish all unhaul videos were like this, I love seeing the process!

[@welshreader]

Thank you so much! I really hope you enjoyed☺️

[@just_ella17]

A little tip for books you aren't sure about: take them off the shelf and put them on a separate stack. Wait about a week and if you don't miss them on your shelf's get rid of them.

[@welshreader]

That’s such a good tip!

[@LyraBattersea]

I relate to you so strongly. I have so many books that I’ve had for years and have either never read or not enjoyed but I can’t bring myself to get rid of. I form a strong emotional attachment to all my books and can never get rid of them.

[@welshreader]

It’s so difficult isn’t it!

[@delynncurrier2789]

It so satisfying watching your unhaul! And, if you like the cover, you can find the artist and order the pictures they design or can take pictures of the cover and keep the pictures! I do this alot with cove I had massive pictures collection now...

[@welshreader]

Thank you so much! That’s such a good idea😄

[@delynncurrier2789]

Ur welcome!

[@ChloeReadsBooks]

I love how you were like "it's a gift I can't get rid" and I'll rate a gift 1 star and almost throw them out the window 😂 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼

[@welshreader]

Love that though😂

[@rebelbelle1388]

I'm with you, Chloe. You shouldn't keep a book only because it was a gift. Once a gift is given, that's it. Unless you think the giver is going to check back in with you to make sure you still possess your gift? If I give someone something, it's theirs to do with as they please. If they want to set it on fire in front of me, that's their prerogative. Please don't attach such lofty values to things because they were a gift!

[@chrissiegerber8939]

I wished I could get all your books... I cannot get rid of books, I love them too much. I'm not a hoarder, I am a collector. ♥

[@Miluriel]

All these unhaul videos are really just the best anti-adverts for subscription-boxes 😅

[@welshreader]

It’s not looking good for them😂 I have had a few that I’ve read and really enjoyed but because they don’t announce which books are in the boxes before hand, I do get a few that I’m not interested in😬

[@user-ng9pn9lg2p]

Give Grady Hendrix a shot! His books are sooo good!! So quick to read too, I got through each one in a full day (because I found them impossible to put down)! :)

[@welshreader]

That’s such a good thing to know! Thank you so much for mentioning it😄

[@loriannwhite8384]

Whew!! 116 Books. Honestly I was hoping you were giving away Den Patrick Trilogy.👋🏾

[@DancingSkyWolf]

Noooooo not Temeraire!! You should definitely revisit the series one day.

[@welshreader]

I really want to!

[@ReadingNymph]

Love your shelves and you Agatha Christie collection 😍 I want to start reading Agatha Christie books so much!

[@welshreader]

Thank you so much! They’re really good, complex little mysteries and I’d highly recommend👀 (the audiobooks are on Scribd if you have that)

[@alyycat0922]

I really enjoyed those 2 Carrie books - When the curtain falls and All that she can see. All that she can see was a little slow but I really felt seen with that one regarding anxiety etc. When the curtain falls was like a little mystery and I actually got a bit creeped out at the end!

[@welshreader]

Thank you so much for letting me know! It’s made me want to read them now☺️

[@ravent3016]

I winced at getting id of God Omens. It's one of my all-tie favorites. :) If you are waffling on keeping a book because of FOMO, just remember there are ebooks...

[@welshreader]

I like the TV show but didn’t connect to the books. I didn’t have a kindle at the time but now I do

[@molliemoran3670]

I was praying to all the Gods that you were getting rid of The Poppy War triology so I could snag them from you 🤣 I've been searching forever for the hardbacks!! Great unhaul!

[@welshreader]

So sorry😂 Hope you manage to find them! Thank you☺️

[@banannakis6723]

In the back of my mind, I keep thinking what if I get rid of the book. And it could end up in a home, where it will get mistreated and not be loved. Which is crazy since books aren't living things. But in a way they are, considering they have little worlds in them. Though if I'm not reading them or care about them, or are not rereading them, then they should go back into the world where someone else might want them. I have so many books, that I just don't pick up anymore because my tastes have changed and it has just become clutter.

[@jessicahickox120]

✋loved how you dis the unhaul and really think it's a great idea to read unsure before unhaul

[@welshreader]

Thank you so much😄

[@morganmills2590]

Great books unhaul and you have motivated me to unhaul books that books I don’t want to read 😊

[@welshreader]

Thank you so much! It’s so hard to part with them but it’s the best thing if you’re not going to read them😄

[@bewitchedbecs]

Yay I’ve been waiting for this since I saw you mention it on twitter

[@welshreader]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy though it is extremely long😅💗

[@tweetypieplansandreads]

I really enjoyed watching this. Someone else mentioned it, but your process worked really well. I know this is a HUGE long shot given it’s like 7-8 months after this has been posted but do you still have Felix Ever After, Turtles All the Way Down, The Curious Incident of the Dog at Midnight or the Caraval series?

[@welshreader]

Thank you so much! I don’t sorry☹️

[@tweetypieplansandreads]

@@welshreader No worries. I know it was a hell of a long shot after such a long time. Thanks for responding x

[@kreativekatevlog]

I'm probably too late but if you still have crescent city I would be interested 😁

[@welshreader]

Hi! I’m really sorry but that one’s gone☹️

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

Great unhaul! Super organized shelves

[@welshreader]

[@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564]

I'd be interested in the Caraval set, if you really unhaul them.Also, Crown Of Feathers.

[@welshreader]

Hi! Both of those books have gone unfortunately😟

[@thebookishbard1051]

👋🏻 I am interested in the Crescent city hardcover. Also maybe the Caraval series.

[@welshreader]

My sister is taking the Caraval books for now but if she ever wants to get rid of them I’ll let you know! Crescent City is still up for grabs so if you’d like to send me a message on instagram/ twitter we could sort something😄

[@Taartje04]

Oke, I loved this video🥰 subscribed immediately

[@welshreader]

Thank you so much🥺

[@Emma-uf2db]

Great video, I love how you go through each one at the end too! If you still have Crescent City and Wonder I’d love to buy! :)

[@welshreader]

Crescent City isn’t unfortunately but Wonder is x

[@sarinhbooi]

binge watching your videos! just found you channel and love your videos!👋

[@welshreader]

Thank you so much🥺

[@sarinhbooi]

@@welshreader love it! I send you a DM on instagram yesterday with the question if you still have some books available from this unhaul:)

[@universeofart7293]

I hope I could get some of the books you unhaul. 🙂🙂

[@ybell10]

Such beautiful books!

[@welshreader]

Thank you so much!

[@Liamcb93]

Very well done! This must have been difficult to make but you did it 😁👋

[@welshreader]

Thanks so much Liam! It took so long but I’m happy that I did it & filmed it😄

[@cleg78]

Oooo The Kingdom of Back I have heard amazing things about that one 🤗

[@cleg78]

I’m unhauling my hardcover of Ten Thousand Doors of January too, I tried reading it but oh my days it was bloody awful 😣

[@welshreader]

I’m glad I’ve kept on to it for now then👀

[@welshreader]

Oh no! I’m sceptical too😬 I’ll try and get to it this year but if I don’t enjoy it then I’ll unhaul it

[@cleg78]

I think I need to get ruthless with my shelves. Oh my days your Caraval set 🤭😳 oh my goodness if I had the hardcovers I couldn’t part with them. I love that series. I also want to get the Nevernight books all in hardcover

[@cleg78]

Where do you unhaul your books to? Nosey bugger I know

[@komaedacoffee4298]

14:22 this antology has V.E Schwab in it :D is it good?

[@welshreader]

It’s ok! Not as detailed as it’s a short story but you can still feel her writing style

[@emmasmith1717]

Liking the new intro ❤👋

[@welshreader]

Thank you so much☺️

[@RachelCerys]

watch the Wonder film, it's great but don't worry about the book :P

[@welshreader]

I really want to watch that!

[@taylorgrant2719]

i loved this!

[@welshreader]

Thank you so much!

[@bewitchedbecs]

If you liked Truthwitch and followed that fine then the rest of the series should be good. Also The Dark Vault books are nearly more companion books than anything else so you can read the two and not be unsatisfied

[@welshreader]

That’s so good to know! Thank you so much😄

[@OnlyIfForAPage]

Great unhaul :- ) I don't read a lot of ya contemporary and Felix Ever After was one of my favorites :- ) But I listened to it on audio and the audiobook was amazing so I'd recommend the audio version if you get rid of the physical copy :- )

[@welshreader]

Thank you so much for letting me know! I definitely think that listening to the audiobook is the way to go with that one☺️

[@JamieReads_1]

I havent done an unhaul in 2 years. I think maybe it should be time, but I don't know.

[@welshreader]

Do what feels right for you! I wouldn’t have gotten rid of half of these last year but I feel comfortable doing so now

[@JamieReads_1]

@@welshreader Yeah so true. I know if I do try and unhaul my husband will just put them on his shelfs so kind of redundant.

[@zuhairah3860]

[@lindseymcateer7925]

Cinderella is dead was my last read of 2021 and I loved it. I would say it’s more dystopian than sci fi though

[@welshreader]

Thanks for letting me know! I’ve kept onto it for now so hopefully I can read it this year☺️

[@lindseymcateer7925]

@@welshreader look forward to hearing what you think if you do read it this year. I’ve dm’d you on Twitter about a few books

[@mylifeisameme9408]

every now and then I try yo watch unhaul videos to get the flow going and do it myself but then a book I really like love or I love the author gets unhauled and I'm like no nope I'm not doing this and stop the video 🤣 I'm at 3:24 and my heart is already broken 💔 xdddd

Hello if you still have Red Queen please could I have it ☺️

[@KayanKollyn]

hi, Welsh Reader! I want to share one book with you. "Kayan Kollyn- the Spiral of the Ellmott and Messenger of the Secret." a great fiction book of adventure, mystery, ART, ancient CRAFFARTT, and science. once you read it you really love it. the story speaks about all dimensions of life. awaiting the video on this book! and this video will definitely increase your subscribers, God bless you. and, our good wishes for your channel. we like your content! thanks for the recommendation.

[@supersnek5]

Why not both 😋? 👋🌊

[@welshreader]

Thanks so much for watching☺️

[@poisonedyoyo]

Aru Shah and the End of Time is a terrible example of modern middle grade. I read it in 2021 when the latest book came out and it was definitely a nope from me, though not the worst middle grade I picked up that year. Cathedral of Bones would be, as that was too freaky, terrible world, although I at least liked one of the characters in that, which is more than I can say for Aru Shah lol. The wolf girl at the end of Aru Shah book one was interesting but we don't get to meet her then. As for the Hatmakers, Cordelia was all right, but mixing magic with a historical time period in MG seems bizarre, and it didn't go so well in that story imo. A GOOD MG I read in 2021 was Across the Pond by Joy McCullough, really fun book and the parallels to classic children's book is interesting, there's even a World War II backdrop for the past portion of the story like in The Chronicles of Narnia. There waws one published in October I want to check out, it claims to be the Percy Jackson/Narnia/His Dark Materials of the 2020's, I think it's called Fireborn or something, was in the Goodreads October New Releases that month. I notice however that they conveniently left out Kendra Sorenson, who is on the same level as Lucy Pevensie at LEAST, which was a terrible oversight honestly, so I'm not sure how much I trust the statement that that book should be placed alongside beloved series but we shall see.

[@setarehbozorgy509]

Why buy books you won’t read ever though?

[@pandaseal1611]

I think people believe they can get through more books than they have time some of them were subscribed services so can sometimes forget how much they have on shelves already

[@mariaprestonHomeschoolingUK]

, omg id love to have most of the ones you dont want .. like the following are on my to buy list .... al the stars have teeth , bone cryers moon , unhooked . and shielded /wilder girls / star daughter/ crown of featherst

[@mariaprestonHomeschoolingUK]

it makes me laugh how many people have said they dont want to suport the authors because of something they have done , but you are supporting them , by giving the book to someone else to read , is making them the supporter instead ,.. maybe if people dont want to support the authors because of something stupid or not so stupid reasons than maybe you should burn the book from the author that you dont want to support any more , as there will be one less book to worry about and you have certainly not supporting the author in any way .

[@welshreader]

Who says I gave the book to someone else?
