#Unhaul

[@rubyhaig3096]

I actually had a verbal reaction when you said how many drinks you’d had!!?? Love it lmao ☕️

[@rebeccaspangler9491]

my jaw literally DROPPED

[@roseofoulesfame]

Me too, I was like "GAV!!!"

[@KatieColson]

Let’s talk about this thumbnail for a second! 👑 stunning. This is such an entertaining video concept. You have such good ideas and then GREAT executions. That’s rare

[@summoningreaders]

i had a violent inhale when you showed yourself unhauling the Leigh Bardugo books and chocked on my coffee doing so.

[@KittyxKult]

76 pumpkin spice lattes and you were holding yourself back 😭😭 I’m not judging, I just mix it up and sample everything pumpkin flavored so I’m probably right on par with you 😅 I think we need pumpkin spice rehab. It’s so unfair they take it away from us. Year round pumpkin spice pls

[@ravenous_reads]

You could leave the books in little free libraries, if you have any in your neighbourhood

[@ravenous_reads]

@MJ oh man, that's too bad. Maybe then leave a box or bag with "free books" on a bench somewhere (don't forget to come back and remove the box/bag and leftovers). Most people love taking free books with them

[@zara6472]

@MJ my village has an old telephone box turned into a little free library. Plus there's one at the local co-op and a little café. My library accepts books too. ETA I am in Devon :)

[@RosLanta]

@MJ we do! There's quite a lot of them around though maybe not in every town

[@thoroughlyenjoyedbooks8565]

Not me thinking it'd be around 25 and completely forgetting that this is Gav we're talking about... but HOW? That's several a day!?

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Harry Potter: ‘He-Who-Shall-Not Be Named’ Gavin Heatherington: ‘Friend-I’m-No-Longer-Friends-With’

[@ossswin]

I wish you would've given Six Of Crows and Crooked Kingdom a go! It can absolutely stand alone without the S&B trilogy and it's SO much better it's incredible! Kudos for unhauling this much!

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

I haven't had any pumpkin spice lattes this year, guess I don't have to unhaul any books 😅

[@StephLoves]

I can hear Jade's heart breaking from here about Seb 😂 that owlcrate jr copy of bridge of souls is so pretty 😍🖤

[@vivianwakoff]

Your unhaul videos are always a joy to watch! And your library is my #lifegoal!

[@susannawysejackson8521]

A whopping 76 books unhauled and not one of them was 'Ghost Dick: Private Eye'?? I am shocked 😂

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I’m sorry 76!? GAVIN 76!?!? How are you not a pumpkin

[@ourhome8521]

I hear you. I can't sell my unhauls. Not cut out for that life, because selling stresses me out. Love donating to charity shops, free libraries, and school libraries.

[@museumgrackreads]

Jaws is an atrocious book and it should NEVER been read. I unhauled it the moment I finished it.

[@jenny_readss]

Love the controversy! Do you have a little free library near you? That could be a good place for arcs

[@emmal7510]

It doesn't sound like you've actually read Six of Crows, so maybe give it and Crooked Kingdom a try before getting rid of them. I'm not a huge fan of YA fantasy, but I really enjoyed that duology and it stands on its own. (I still haven't read anything else by her, except half of Ninth House.)

[@MelReads]

not gods of jade and shadow!!! that one personally hurt😭😩

[@ItsKhaliaMonique]

OMG YES! Where the Crawdads Sing is a book I associate with a negative person. Luckily, I didn't like the book so I was more then willing to through it in the unhaul box and never look back 😂

[@katiewinn2660]

Literally verbalized my WHAAAAAATTTTT?!?!?!?!!!! 🤣 This is hilarious and a great twist on an unhaul. Well done!

[@sunshinelorena]

I couldn't imagine having to uhaul 76 books. You did well

[@PaddleboardingFL]

you should do a video reading only books that have your name as a main character

[@butzichen]

I got way more invested in this than I thought I would lol Though I would say that six of crows duology is way different from the shadow and bones trilogy, so maybe give that another try. But I don't know your reading taste well enough yet to know if you'd enjoy it or not :)

[@PokhrajRoy.]

It’s great that you’re chucking ‘The Midnight Library’ from your library. 👏🏽

[@marybarton9792]

Great job! The ARC's you can always put in those little free libraries, people will enjoy them.

[@BooksNest]

*hides review of The Maidens* Never have I questioned past Beth so much cause at the time I loved that book, but now my reading tastes have developed and changed I’m wondering if I still would. From memory. It was fun 😂 Also loving the unhaul!

[@TheAvocadoToastBudget]

GAVINNNN! I first started watching you at the beginning of the year when I first got back into reading and dove into middle grade. Seeing your glow up throughout the year has been so much fun. Your content has always been great, and it's even better now! I love watching your creativity shine and your reading taste expand. You're wonderful! This concept is awesome. Thank you for all your amazing content 💜

[@isabellavalentine7268]

When I get rid of ARCs, I take them to my local used bookstore and put them in the free bin- I don’t have a free little library so that’s the best option

[@slightlybookishslytherin]

That dirty laugh when you suggested unhauling all of One Piece 😂😂😂

[@cassieosbourne7666]

“I don’t want liars on my shelf” 😂😂😂

[@Romey301]

Oooooo….this is an interesting idea! Loving these warm videos lately ❤

[@cindywingetbooks]

For what to do with the arcs, you could leave them in a free little library (if you have any near you).

[@auntyharry]

Could you (or have you done before?) a DIY video showing your audience how to spray the edges of a book yourself? I’d really like to see how to go about doing that.

[@hardbackhoarder]

HOW MANY

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I know, it should have been way more

[@kyrumptionmakeup8197]

Your concepts for decluttering your books are so fabulous. I really love your channel, you make me laugh

[@readingsloph7584]

“That’s just not my bag baby” - was that an Austin powers reference?! Also that’s a lot of PSLs

[@ladyfox6705]

Earlier this year I sorted out a lot of bring-me-no-spark-of-joy books, but now I'm sorting out the ones in my enormous 90+ TBR list. I've whittled them (brutally) down to c.30 books! Feels good to flick the old cr*p XD Now I can read this lot of books I'm actually excited to read, and keep playing God of War Ragnarok (which is fantastic btw!) 👏

[@Jacquelynrose94]

I associate “The Perks of Being a Wildflower” with a past breakup. It was the book I was reading when I was going through the breakup. I haven’t been able to finish reading it or watch the movie because of that event.

[@patrecem.9523]

With YA it’s the repetitiveness that I can’t deal with. Like I don’t need to be reminded every 3 pages why the character feels this way, what happened to make them feel that way again, nor how troubling the decision is for the character or others involved. I drives me crazy. That’s why I can’t do YA.

[@erikareading]

Watched this while icing a pumpkin spice cake and then eating a piece. I feel the same about the Spellslinger books. The first one was entertaining so I got the second one but then I couldn't get myself to care anymore to actually read it.

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Sad because I love the city of brass series but if you're feeling relieved than it is definitely the right decision for you! Lol I always donate my unhaul books as well because I can't be bothered with the selling and the packaging and ultimately I might make some profit but I get enough review books that I feel like giving to charity is a good full cycle. I think the court of miracles was meh I unhauled my illumicrate copy even though it was gorgeous. Okay i get the shadow and bone but ngl the six of crows hurt me a lil. I read spellslinger but it was meh and unhauled my signed copy.

[@QueenPrism]

My total book unhaul would be 1 book 😂😂 I always feel bad asking them to make it because they make so many, they literally get sick of it. (I was a Starbucks barista for 2 years)

[@chelsikay13]

You have inspired me to do an unhaul! 🎶 never gonna read it never gonna read it

[@TheDaniMarie0403]

I said "oh my lord!" So loud that i scared my cat when u said how many u had 😂

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Critical Reception for Taylor Jenkins Reid currently exist on a spectrum between Jack Edwards (favourable) to Gavin Heatherington (relatively less favourable)

[@traceyvince258]

oooh i hope you got your running shoes at the ready very brave but look at the space you will have again great video as always xxx

[@noelle7pages]

some books date the shelves, you're so right! especially if you haven't read them, out with the old

[@rootingbranches]

For the ARCs you can look up if there are any local woman's shelters around you, or hospitals may accept them for the wards.

[@Jordan_elaine]

Your shelves are freakin goalssss!!!

[@ofbutterfliesandbooks384]

It's obviously completely up to you, but Gavin, as someone who DNFed the first Shadow and Bone book, but absolutely loved the Netflix show adaptation, and within one week read the Six of Crows duology, and is trying to contemplate what to read next that could match the level of love I have for a group of characters such as much as the ones in Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom I really think you should have kept those two books at least. However, that's just me and if you ever wanted to reexplore the Grishaverse later in a video vlog I would 100% be here for it and I don't think I would be alone on that.

[@ChandaElise]

Lol just became a Patreon and see you unhaul 2 of my favorites mindf*ck & city of brass in a row *surprised pika but face*

[@syds8752]

I screamed out loud when you said the number. I’ve never had a reaction like that about anything

[@elizabethgordon1515]

I adore the concept of this lmao! For me I'd have to do Chai lattes lmao 🤣

[@LadetteM]

I dnf'd City of Brass, so you have my full support! As always, your unhaul videos are a joy to watch 😍😍

[@booksalicia1763]

I loved the maidens 😂

[@NakiasHideaway]

Phew! I'm safe. I DNF'D The Maidens. 👀😁

[@snowingonolympus8588]

you can put the arcs in little free libraries or ask a local coffee shop if you can leave them for future customers!

[@ComeUndun.]

Give arcs to schools? We just had a teacher appreciation event at a bookstore in my city, and they were giving away a bunch of arcs to teachers.

[@ReadingNymph]

I totally get that with relating books to people and also not having the want to sell books. I always give books to charity or my sisters when I do an unhaul

[@chloestarshine]

These are my favourite unhaul videos ever, you're the best

[@aphillyreader]

I may have gasped at the Leigh Bardugo purge. I get it. Shadow and bone was a little slow. Six of crows is better. Did you like it enough to try the Netflix show instead?

[@samwitch23]

For the ARCs, you should do a video with some kind of big book project. Like making art using pages from the ARCs you don't want

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Omg I’m so sorry to hear you were unwell. ‘Tis the season to be unwell, I guess. Hope you’re feeling better.

[@sarahteter6310]

I paused to see if anything on my TBR pile or shelf could be unhauled so that I could participate and typically to help me decide I'll read the synopsis and ask if that is interesting to me and then also see what the average Goodreads rating is, I do not go by rating alone but sometimes the rating helps me decide. If I'm questioning my interest AND the Goodreads average rating is below 3.5 then I feel safer unhauling a book. Unfortunately for my shelves, I've currently got a stack of about 27 books that all sound promising to me and are at least 3.6 average ratings on Goodreads. I do not keep books I've read that I dislike, they immediately go into a bin that I keep for unhauling so that my read shelves are books I'm happy to look at. So much for participating in some unhauling/cleaning of my space.

[@sarahteter6310]

OH NO SPELLSLINGER! I've been trying to collect that complete series in the same size! I love that series so much but everytime I order a book it comes in a different size which has been driving me insane! Typically I prefer adult series, but I personally could not get into the Great Cloaks series and I've always preferred the Spellslinger world.

[@MagikMoonchild_]

waiting to be hired as production manager like 👁👄👁

[@philippschmidt80]

Haven't watched the video yet but I'm guessing you're going to have to unhaul 300 books.

[@Vulphie]

My poor completionist heart can't fathom stopping a series before the end, but I'm glad your shelves have space for books you actually want! If your local library does book sales, they may take those arcs off your hands. I always see a ton of arcs for $1-2 donations at my library in the US. 🤔

[@ABookFiendNamedMel]

I just love the things you come up with, such amazing ideas. I’ve never had a pumpkin spice latte, there’s no Starbucks where I live, honestly, I don’t love the sound of them

[@Gillian.Ashcroft.66]

Loved The Maidens & love you too Gavin lol 🪅🥰

[@James_Cooper]

the only one i think i've read is the midnight library which i absolutely loved, it really impacted me, i found so much relatableability in it and just yhh i totally read it at the right point in my life. but... i do see how some people don't like it and whatnot but i'd keep it haha x great video i love watching you talk about books

[@arobinreads]

Great going! For ARCs, Free little libraries maybe?

[@lottevanderpaelt1684]

I totally agree about the Netflix stickers that can't come off, I hate it when books have them. At least make them a real sticker, so I can take it off if I want to...

[@horror-sickness]

OMG those are a lot of drinks. I also need to do an unhaul before the end of the year. make space for the new 😅

[@jaimeerindy4573]

Felt the exact same way about The Maidens haha

[@samreadsbooks_13]

I'm feeling that side eye all the way over here in North Dakota. That's ok we don't have the same taste in every book.

[@RosLanta]

That Bridget Collins arc is stunning!!

[@alliprokop8615]

76?!?! From starbucks?!? How do you still have money after that 😂

[@corinnemcphail8000]

I totally get that idea of getting rid of stuff that you associate with someone, like I went on a date thing with this guy at the cinema and it ended so badly I have never watched that movie again 😂😂😂

[@judithcakelover]

76 is a lot ☕️❤️ I wish I could unhaul some books like you do too.

[@ogodthe]

"I THINK I WAS THE FUN ONE" 😂💜

[@ybell10]

so really wanna get Book ARCS!

[@stephaniew.7623]

An Idea to donate your arcs, a good place might be like a community home/residential home for people with disabilities or people that are not able to live by themselves (I don't know what the proper terminology in the UK is, but I know here in Germany are often happy to take book donations)

[@jio5680]

I love City of Brass series, but I totally get being in too many series at once, cause I've done this to myself as well🤣

[@xxlipstickandlyricsx]

I have not had that many PSLs this year - but I might have to try this for the ones I have had!

[@formerclarity8836]

Re: what to do with ARCs, I've directly recycled them, as well as books that are leaving my collection taht are simply in too poor of a shape to give to the used book store. Paper recycling generally do accept paperbacks without issue; take the covers off of hardbacks.

[@evilredcaboose]

Do you have and Free Little Lending Libraries in your neighborhood? You could put the arcs in them. Technically it isn't selling them then

[@graceallsop8705]

you are the king of original content

[@beastylime4]

my jaw actually dropped when you said how many you had LOL

[@Chessie-TaylorsVersion]

Alex Pheby was my personal tutor at uni and I want to read Mordew and grade it like a turnitin assignment

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Hahaha omg PLEASE do it 😂

[@mamasreadingnook]

I unhauled a ton of books because they were associated with someone who I no longer associate with so I totally get it!

[@paperbacksgalore]

The city of brass series is so amazing tho 💗

[@PokhrajRoy.]

14:11 Basically, anything my sibling selects is involuntarily erased from my memory.

[@heabooktubes]

76!!!! 😂😂😂

[@charlisimone6653]

i’ve checked every few days for another unhaul… yay

[@Jordan_elaine]

I loved Malibu rising! But totally can see it’s not one for everyone

[@fiona_de_vos]

OMG I thought I liked pumpkin spice latte 😂 But to be fair… you only have them around Halloween so you should enjoy them. Now on to the Christmas lattes

[@andieland1923]

My heart hurt at you getting rid of Blade of Secrets. I love that duology, especially as someone with social anxiety. But I love pretty much anything Tricia Levenseller writes.

[@Laura-bk6es]

when you said you were unhauling the magnolia palace. i heard the macaroni palace and i was so confused.

[@HannahsRecentReads]

love a good unhaul!! 🤙🏻

[@KittyAndTheBooks]

That challenge would be quite easy for me, it would be exactly one. :D No starbucks anywhere near me, and when I was travelling and in the mood for a pumpkin spice latte, the guy working the counter told me he couldn't sell me coffee, because he had to many online orders to do... 🙄 This was a very entertaining video, and I love your library set-up!
