The Unhaul To Make Room!

[@RosLanta]

Since you do like Rick Riordan's writing style I highly recommend the Kane Chronicles, they're my favourite of his series and my all time favourite middle grade. (No nostalgia for me by the way, I was an adult when they came out!)

[@BookEnthusiast]

Finished off the Kane chronicles last year need to finish his other series

[@isabellavalentine7268]

Agree! I read them for the first time at 22 and highly enjoyed them!

[@TheHexedLibrary]

That was some cut throat unhauling and I'm here for it! I could probably get rid of like 50 books right this minute that I'm very "meh" about but I just don't have the willpower hahahaha

[@ABookFiendNamedMel]

You seem to be getting more and more ruthless with your unhaul!

[@JesseOnYoutube]

WE LOVEEE a polka dot moment!!!!

[@ravensandblots]

Love the ruthlessness! Get rid of those books that don’t bring you joy-such an awesome feeling!

[@KristinKravesBooks]

I love how many books you are donating to your sister's school. They must love you there!!

[@lyrasilvertongue9008]

I just did a huge unhaul too, I'm getting a baby and we don't have that much room, so I got rid of one bookshelf and had a lot just stacked on the floor because it already didn't fit and now I need all my books to fit on one and a half bookshelf (I also chose to store a box with books I don't need on my shelf, but I want my baby to read in the future :)) I got rid of a few hundred books 🤭

[@KYX1994]

Kids at your sister's school are SO lucky!!

[@bookborrower]

I found you through Gavin and am so glad! This was great...I agree about Percy Jackson. Really enjoyed the first one but felt like the others were the same so I never finished the series.

[@staceydarlington5205]

This was fun!

[@ecofictologywithlovisgeier]

Oh I LOVED where the river runs gold! The kids at your sister's school are going to thank you for that donation!

[@Books_BrewsandBeyond]

I didn't gel with Black Son either it ended up being a DNF. This was an impressive unhaul Jade- well done.

[@laurenb_101]

I love unhauls!! I think they’re great for a number of reasons too - more shelf space for books you are excited for, it clears the mind, eases any anxiety you may have re: clutter, plus giving them to others who are going to enjoy them more is satisfying 💜 loved this, Jade 😁

[@lovelydaywithholly]

Haha, I’m just adding a bunch of these to my Goodreads TBR 🤣

[@Italianamuneca]

Me too lol

[@morgainewetzker6206]

I really love this kind of unhaul. It's so interesting to see the thought process.

[@paginator]

Great job! I need to do an unhaul myself as well. I’m a teacher so I can always give away my unhauled books to my kiddos. They love it!😊

[@enchantedadventuresthrough3065]

Thank you for posting this today. I was looking for new videos to watch and was about to give up and do something else, but then I saw this video. I'm glad you now have space for the new books. I haven't unhauled any of the books I just bought yet, but I'm sure that will come before the end of the year and I'm excited to see what I do unhaul. Should be a fun time! Have an amazing weekend!!

[@whitedaylilies]

I love a good “live” unhaul!! Thanks Jade!

[@maleneerika7163]

Way to go Jade. You did superp! Wish I could unhaul with so much determination🤔💛

[@basicbechreader1742]

Yay for new space on the shelves and new books to take that space

[@MandaLynReads]

I loved seeing your thought process through this! It’s a good reminder to donate books that I’m not going to reread/don’t love

[@arobinreads]

Always love unhauls!

[@lisaharrison373]

Love the idea of unhauling the amount you've brought! I really need to do that.

[@lindsayarmstrong7130]

I just did a major unhaul myself, not sure where they are going yet because of covid my local library isn’t accepting donations

[@carissa1446]

I have been taking mine to little free libraries around my city. If you have any near you it always feels good for some reason.

[@cleg78]

Great to see you back my lovely 😊

[@Sarasstorytime22]

Oh, I loved This Mortal Coil, so original.

[@racheltfisher]

Same, going to try and reread the first one and read the other two for The Final Book Support Group

[@ammalyrical5646]

I felt the complete opposite. For a sci-fi based in genetics the genetics was wonky at best. I DNF'ed at page 30 because I couldn't get past it. It would take the entire series for me to feel satisfied with the explanations, probably, but in hindsight I don't think I would've gotten them to begin with since the story focuses on other things.

[@racheltfisher]

@@ammalyrical5646 admittedly I read the first book a while ago and will be re- reading it, I hope I still love the first one

[@ammalyrical5646]

@@racheltfisher I hope so too for you. I've been diving into biology for a long time and even if I'd been around the target demographic at the time I'd probably been bothered by it. I learned a bunch of that stuff around age 16. It was just not the book for me but the concept is amazing. Maybe if someone wrote an adult version without that cannibalism system (that didn't make any sense) I'd love or at least really like it

[@Amyduckie]

Well done you! Better for someone else to have them and love them, than have them languishing on your shelves.

[@racheltfisher]

This mortal coil series is so good Jade 🥺🥺

[@yelenskareads]

i remember picking up City of Rust after seeing it on your channel but i just couldn't be bothered to finish it... dnf'd it around the 50% mark 🙍‍♀ BUT THE COVER IS GORGEOUS! As for A Wolf for a Spell, I absolutely adored it 💕

[@wronggeometry]

Well done. I've unhauled a few recently but you've inspired me to have another go. American Gods was the book that got me back into reading after a period of not doing so in my teens. The chonk is intimidating but I think I flew through it.

[@MelLenoreReads]

This was seriously impressive

[@speaking_bookish]

Passenger was a two star and wayfarer was a DNF.. Alexandra Bracken and I just don’t mesh 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Greeneyedgirl0704]

I don’t do history either 🤣

[@jenny_readss]

I should really do this challenge myself!

[@ammalyrical5646]

aah. This Mortal Coil. The book I DNF'ed around page 30 because the whole immunology component makes no sense. I didn't when I read it and studied biomed sciences and it wouldn't have when I had the target audience because I would've caught that issue back then as well. She got secondary school stuff 'wrong' as in how it functions in our reality but she heavily implies it works the same in her story. She does mention allergies. Since the book was her indulgence in genetics and immunology is heavily led by genetics (and the explanation to my satisfaction would take up the entire series I just got rid of it (it's still in my house but in an unhaul box. I never unhauled the books in that box because I have not decided where to bring them).

[@AbiofPellinor]

This was the best motivation for me to get through my books! Although I loved This Mortal Coil and I don't have a physical copy so that hurt to see hahaha

[@MariaMightReadThat]

I liked the challenge twist of you having to unhaul a specific number. And I fully support unhauling Incendiary, it was a DNF for me and pretty disappointing.

[@joyahawkrose3984]

I really liked the audiobook for Black Sun. I don’t think it would have worked as well reading it physically, but I would suggest maybe trying out the audiobook if you are interested in knowing what happens

[@carrieicanhasbooks]

Jade I have 2012 unread YA on my shelves 😂 I can't unhaul them though, I can't unhaul a book I haven't at least attempted to read but that's just me.

[@ForFictionSake]

I'm on the fence about unhauling Rust myself. The cover is so cool and unique, but that book was a slog to get through. Maybe our copies will give someone else joy.

[@racheltfisher]

I should start a KZbin as the ruthless unhauler haha, always getting rid of books to charity or giving to my mum or aunt to borrow or keep

[@kassie7597]

I also just unhauled the Percy Jackson series. I got to the 4th book and I didn’t particularly like any of them.

[@katrinaandallthebooks7993]

This has made me want to go and unhaul all those books I’m holding onto that I bought years ago and now have no interest in.

[@Italianamuneca]

I gave Mortal Coil and Renegades 1 star, The Summoner's Cry 3 stars. Winterwood was 2 stars.

[@rysreadingcorner]

That is how I feel about shea ernshaw’s other ya book. I don’t hate it but don’t love it !

[@rysreadingcorner]

I unhauled fable too.

[@taneikfai4718]

Tan eik fai l am 22 years malaysia loph😁😭💫😽😼😸hi 2022😸

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I’m reading Percy for the first time this year, I’m on the 4th and i just feel like they’re getting so repetitive now 🥲
