My first EVER book unhaul!

I have literally never intentionally sat down and done a book clear out, so this was scary and fun at the same time!! I managed to get rid of 25ish books, which I am very proud of, because I am such a book hoarder.
Do you think I made a mistake, and need to keep any of these books instead?? Let me know in the comments!!

This was so fun to watch! Love that you filmed going through the shelves rather than just the stack at the end.

[@LydLoves]

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed! I needed the accountability of going through my shelves on camera hahah 🥰💚

[@maybebabey12345]

nothing better than clearing out books to make room for more!

[@LydLoves]

Exactly! Now I’ll finally have some more space!

[@CathenaReads]

14:48 omg same here! I only started to collect books in 2022/2023 even though I've read my whole life and I started to collect hardbacks/special edition hardbacks. More recently I started to collect paperbacks and now I look at my hardbacks and think "you're pretty, but you take up WAY too much unecessary space" lol specially since my main genre is fantasy and having a whole series in paperback is such a space saver

[@LydLoves]

Yes exactly the same happened to me! I do think hardbacks are so beautiful but something about a paperback just makes me happier now!💚

[@user-qv4ef4iv8u]

Wow well done for your first even unhaul! Can’t wait too what fill the space with!❤

[@LydLoves]

Thank you!! 😊me too!! Haha

[@alpal-pb6rv]

Feeling so inspired to declutter my books now. I have so many I’m never going to reread

[@LydLoves]

It was such a great feeling honestly but I really had to have a stern word with myself a few times 😂💚

[@jinxminx55]

totally agree on paper girls - so confusing!

[@LydLoves]

Right?! And not in a fun way!!

[@tiggysbooks]

Proud of you! This was so satisfying to watch. I’m a huge advocate of unhauling books that don’t spark joy ✨

[@LydLoves]

It was sooo satisfying to do!! I feel like now I’m going to be obsessed and do it all the time 📖🫶🏻

[@marianneguevara8279]

Book unhauls are some of my favorite videos to watch ngl! I find them almost relaxing; its really nice to see titles go off to a new home along with new space being made for new books. Excellent video! Also, I'm happy to see another person who appreciates Josiah Bancroft!

[@LydLoves]

Josiah Bancroft is the best!! Yess I agree I love watching them too and I’m going to do more now I’ve managed to do the first one! Thank you so much for watching!💚

alexander mccall smith is actually scottish and grew up in zimbabwe. cute series if you want something cozy, but i agree on not being appropriate for the around the world challenge.

[@LydLoves]

Ahh okay, good to know, Thank you!💚

[@meg838m]

you keeping books with pretty covers even tho you didnt like them is me coded lmao. your shelves are absolutely stunning!!!

[@LydLoves]

maybe one day I'll be able to get rid of the pretty but bad books but today is not that day!! hahahaha

[@bridgetvollmer6337]

I've also been buying more paperbacks after buying hardbacks for years.

[@LydLoves]

Hardbacks are beautiful but I’ve just come to really love a paperback! And it’s nice that they’re smaller and cheaper too!

[@user-tf3ty2im2d]

Love this! I recognise some of those books! Was Ursula Le Guin in two places or did I imagine that?

[@LydLoves]

Ooh maybe, I’ll check!!

[@michellewilson6210]

It's bothering me that Atlas Six isn't placed in order lol. I need help lol.

[@LydLoves]

hahaha, I didn't notice!

[@hedgie58921]

For all those books that you hate but "want to talk about," why not just keep a list of them somewhere but insert pictures of the cover into videos? Personally I cant stand when books I dont like are still on my shelf. I only want room for books I love !

[@LydLoves]

I think I will do this eventually maybe in round two of the book unhaul, but I quite like the ones that have got a strong emotional reaction out of me too! And I like to reference them sometimes! But eventually I will have shelves with just books I love 💚🫶🏻

[@19Rena96]

Have you read the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness?

[@LydLoves]
