Currently obsessed with unhauling videos, they're so satisfying

[@LasarMoon]

Me too!

[@isabellavalentine7268]

Yes! I’m loving these videos

[@ellias]

literally after uploading this i looked at my bookshelf and want to unhaul more books again lol

[@stevie__reads]

Same I looooove

[@laid-backbun1658]

This is why I utilized my local library. I can borrow books and decide if I absolutely LOVE it, then I'll go out and purchase a physical copy, otherwise I'll return it and it won't sit on my shelf. 🤣

[@ellias]

my motto from now on honestly!!!!

[@ArielBissett]

This was a riot. Your giggle after picking up certain books rang down into my bones. I know the exact feeling of seeing a book, remembering it, not caring anymore, and just laughing it away. Byeeeee!!! This was a super freeing video. I did a massive unhaul a few years ago before a big move and this makes me want to do another one!

[@ellias]

ariel ily sm!! its so cathartic, especially as im older and much more curated in my selection of books. like i don't really buy books anymore, libraries are elite!! also miss youu 💛 hope all is well in your corner of the world :))

[@BeautyBookCorner]

Omg when you said dead name I was confused for a second. I’ve been following you for years! You are so completely Ellias that I totally forgot. Much love to you! ❤

[@ellias]

OG LETS GOOOO IYKYK!!!! but glad you're still here

[@raisaleenjoyce]

This is exactly why, for me, transitioning to an e-reader has been a forever game changer as a mood reader. I used to carefully pick physical books because foreign books from SEA regions are so damn expensive but even with this, I still get disinterested fairly quick so for practicality (financial and space wise), I just donated all of them and only kept 1 book lol

[@ellias]

i truly believe the kindle spoiled books for in general now haha

[@thewolfandherbooks]

I love how Warcross didn't need a summary because everyone knows about it 🤣 I feel like I'm having flashbacks to Booktube circa 2012-2017. What a time to be alive.

[@ellias]

WHAT A TIME i remember when it was literally all the craze esp when we were in line for the arc at book expo

[@marianneguevara8279]

There's no better motivator to unhauling than imagining the sheer amount of books you'd have to pack up if you ever have to move 😅 Excellent unhaul! Also, I noticed The Books of Babel behind you. Love to see it!

[@ellias]

it was much needed for the move and now post move i still want to get rid of more books lol

[@thedadchef]

I did this about 9 years ago, I’m now regretting it and accumulating all of my books back to share with my children as they age.

[@ellias]

i definitely will keep my childhood favorites but getting rid of books i will no longer read or like :)

[@chatshired]

I still remember when you got your billy bookshelves and were excited to fill them up so this is very fun to see, you’ve come a long way :’) Always, always appreciate your honesty!

[@angeliqueazul8670]

Great video! Six of Crows though... And signed too! That broke me - especially since I love this duology and don't own the books.

[@ellias]

yeah i still have them! since they're signed i figured i might as well keep them or sell them in the future haha

trust me i was not prepared

[@nathansnook]

I felt sooo much lighter just watching this! An unhaul is always good for the soul!

[@ellias]

honestly rewatching this even after edits there are still more books i want to get rid of!! rn i only want the basics and my favorites....nothing else lol.

[@sumrubayram]

I wish I would live near your little library 😭😭

[@ellias]

trust me i handed all the good books to the local library and only added romance books to the little library haha

[@ThyPhan94]

six of crows duology signed?? that one got a little kick to it

[@ellias]

more than a kick since she's also personalized hmmhmm

[@bheartsbooks]

Love a good unhaul! When I moved, I had 171 boxes of books. We literally moved 171 boxes of books! So crazy to think about. I think we’re in our forever home, so no more moving, but honestly, I would move them again if I had to, because I’m an insane person lol

[@kennedygifford5966]

having the original shadow and Bone books and giving them away is crazy only because they sell for SO much, you could make bank if you wanted to

[@ellias]

NO WAY I WISH I KEPT THE TRILOGY LMAOO

[@malakkzzzz_]

OMG! The way I really understand you in the Colleen Hoover ERA you were in..this is so relatable istg. I remember buying all her books in 2019 when I first started reading and ISTG I GAVE LIKE ALL HER BOOKS 4 AND 5 STARS!! The Malak(my name) I am today really want to reread all her books with my new age and perspectives in life. I just know that her books and writing style really won't get along with me..😂😂 I'll never get over how I once upon a time said that "Colleen Hoover is my forever favorite author." After i have read from other authors that can actually write...omg... I realized how young and a beginner I was.😂🤌🏽

god what a time tho righhtt??? like its called GROWTH!!! haha

perhaps one day ill read them from the library since they're pretty popular!

Yoooo do you need somewhere to offload the Six of Crows duology? 👀Real talk, I need to clean up my book collection. I know I have some I bought, but haven't actually read yet.

[@ellias]

i ended up keeping them for now bc they're not just signed but personalized too sighhhhhh

[@louisity]

Emergency Contact is the one that caught my attention first in this video. I won't continue with The Truly Devious series, especially the fact that there were more books in the series and Truly Devious was meh. I remember Joce (squibblesreads) pointed out that you liked Warcross and I remember how much you love it back then. I didn't like Sadie as a dark contemporary/thriller. I like Shadow & Bone more than Six Of Crows. I 💞 Verity. I don't think I am one of those girlies. 🤣
