"The answer is NO, I don't need to keep them - BUT" = my entire issue with unhauling even though I truly do it in a brutal fashion. Loved watching you make space in your brain and on your shelves!

[@yccmqb]

I wish I could go shopping in your unhaul pile 😂😍

[@piscespicks]

Same!!! I always wonder what book tubers do with the books they're unhauling. Syd, do you use pangobooks?

[@rue.h05]

Same!! There are so many books that are on my TBR! 😂😍 @piscespicks Agreed! - do you have pangobooks?? 🙅‍♀

[@YW2324]

Ya same lol 😆

[@yccmqb]

@@YW2324 she had a pango books account!!

[@pearlthene]

You gotta new subscriber just for the “I see a deer on the cover and I don’t want it to die” I love horror but struggle to find books with no animal cruelty. Soooo yay I can trust your reads 😂❤

[@MeMyshelfAndI]

The Jasmine Throne is so good. Epic high fantasy with great politics, a sapphic relationship, fascinating and unique religions in the different countries, and a sentient temple. Also cool forest magic and an interesting magic disease.

[@jenniferjohansson9523]

I love to unhaul books that I've lost interest in (especially if the books is avaliable on the library or cheap to kindle), it just feels just good in your soul hahah

[@nisei.reader]

That’s going to feel sooooo good to officially have all those books out of your space!

[@clare_elizabeth_]

I love The Undertaking of Hart and Marcy. Just read it recently. It is a little more on the cozy side, but still has fantasy based conflict. Just mainly focused on the romance. But the fantasy based conflict part of it is what made me cry toward the end. It is also not YA. Definitely adult romance. Highly recommend!

[@riankoch9126]

Seconded! Such a great and cozy fantasy with some lovely sexy times and banter

[@Jane42.]

Thanks for the fun video. Wanted to add: book that are a story told via poetry like Poet X are written in verse. Prose is language in ordinary spoken structure as in a typical novel. 😁👍

[@SydBookWorrom]

WAIT YES!!! Hahah I knew this, but said it wrong silly me😅

Oh I agree with you about the thriller mystery section so much! I love reading thrillers and prefer them in a physical book format, but the problem with buying them is that 90% of the time I will definitely never read them again even if they were mindblowing. That small 10% I would keep is for books that are leaning more on vibes than the plot/twists themselves, like Bunny or The deep. So I never buy them in the first place, I just stick to picking them up from the library instead. By the way great video, made me realize I should stop ordering random whole 12-piece series before even starting them and seeing if I like them. Ugh I should unhaul a few books too.

[@jenniferm.2142]

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy is actually quite a dark story. I would never consider it cutesy, so don’t worry about that. If you like dark stories, I think you’ll really enjoy that one.

[@michellesreadingshelf]

The undertaking of hart and mercy is so underserved by that cover. A bit cozy but I loved the atmosphere. Thanks for sharing, makes me want to clear out some books too!

[@otakugirl3632]

I really like your way of thinking given the books back to the world even the ones you loved so many more people can love them too 🙅‍♀

[@monejade8589]

I recommend reading "The Vanishing Half" ✨

[@polychromist]

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy is not as cutesy as the cover suggests! One of my top favorite books this year, and the only one that’s made me cry so far (not to sabotage your decluttering, lol 🤭)

[@crushgoil]

I second this. It was one of my top favourite books of last year.

[@civilg4850]

Agree I love this book one of my favorites

[@jkpiowa]

There is a *lot* of needless animal gore in Only Good Indians. It made me very uncomfortable.

[@SydBookWorrom]

Thank you for letting me know!!!💓

[@J_R186]

I LOVE Aurora Rising! It's an amazing sci-fi series. I highly recommend the audiobook as well!

[@Whtpaper]

Read The Vanishing Half - I loved that book. 🥰

[@eden0765]

I really loved Aurora rising! I read the whole trilogy twice at this point and I’d totally recommend it, it reads like an easy sci fi without too much science I guess haha

[@paulabarreto2668]

The Vanishing Half is pretty good!!!!

[@filmblooms]

yeah don't read The Only Good Indians if you're not good with animal death/gore! Plus it's pretty unsettling in general :')

[@Heyitsshamara]

I think a cool idea for unhauling a lot of books is giving your subscribers a chance to get those books either by purchasing them from you under like pango books or doing like surprise book bundle boxes as giveaways, and just bundle a bunch of different genres together and not only will those books get a new home they’re genres that may peak another person‘s interest that they may have not read.

[@Allyslovelylibrary]

I feel like you should skip The Only Good Indians Sydney. You do need to worry about on page ‼️animal gore/ animal abuse.‼️ I would not recommend reading that if you are sensitive to animal harm. It was a good horror but there were some scenes that were VERY intense and were hard to read.

[@fiddleleaffiction]

I completely related to your life flashing before your eyes when you almost dropped Mexican Gothic. I, too, have an anxious doggo who would never come near me again if I did that 😂💕 I’ve dropped my Stanley cup many times recently and now she avoids me when I’m holding or drinking from it 😢

[@tungstensmum1491]

Just an FYI - The Haunting of Hill House show is 0% similar to the book. They are entirely different stories. So if you ever want to read Hill House grab from the library, but the show is not the same.

[@Sad.Purple.unicorn]

I think you’re the only person on booktube who is not in love with New York 😄 refreshing honestly

[@ravent3016]

NYC is the epicenter of music and literature and finances...so it's got that pull for the ambitious. But it's also really elitist and has that seedy underbelly, so it's not a place where one wants to be in the underclass.

[@riankoch9126]

Sydney: unhauls A Marvellous Light Me: *unsubscribe* Jkjk it’s not that deep. But I just reread the first two books to read the finale, which means this is my third time reading AML and I’m still obsessed. It’s so fun, magical, and gayyyyyy. It’s a really beautiful series about found family and power dynamics with so much heart. It’s a really good time.

[@sparklelvr]

I read Truly Devious and imo it’s not worth it 🙈

[@amandaconaway9675]

There is animal gore in the Only Good Indians. I had to dnf.

[@beckyduff]

For the past couple of years, I have been on a decluttering journey. It always feels so good to get rid of stuff that is just taking up physical space in my home and mental space that I cannot afford to take up, lol. When it comes to books that I have read and not loved or DNF'd, I set them to the side right away to be donated. It is harder for me to part with books that I haven't yet at least given a chance. I always have to remind myself that there is the library, or chances are I can buy it again in the future if I suddenly get the urge to read it.

[@MaggieFlowers03]

Do you sell these when you unhaul?... and how to I buy the Clockwork series lol!!!!

[@katiee728]

The only one that I would realllllly recommend keeping/reading is The Vanishing Half! It's a great book and I really do think you'd enjoy it!

[@nataliejones5441]

Compared to The Illuminae Files, The Aurora Cycle is not as good, but I still really liked it. The audio books are great with a full cast, so you can probably ditch the physical copy and go audio if you ever feel the desire.

[@WhimsicalNarratives]

Such a fantastic unhaul! I've found it so liberating to unhaul and let the books find new homes.

[@Sarasstorytime22]

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy😍

[@dobetterwithchristian4472]

Undertaking of Hart and Mercy isn't too cute! 😢 It's really good and it's not YA

[@tewsimple]

the book of haunting of hill house is actually quite different from the tv show. but I thought the book was TERRIBLE so yes please un-haul 😂

[@aeronautdot]

Ohmygosh, I thought I was the only one who feels that way about books set in New York! 🙅‍♀

[@Tiffs-bookshelf]

Yes. Same bovine over here. I’ve gotten rid of 300 or more this year.

[@AmandaPace85]

It's so difficult to decide books to unhaul, I actually bought new shelves for my appartment so since I had to pack my books meanwhile I did a huge unboxing and now I'm happy about it because it also give them a second chance!

[@marianacorreia2449]

Undertaking of hart and mercy is NOT too cutesy!! It's not of my fav reads of this year you should give it a try

[@marianacorreia2449]

One*

[@beckyduff]

Definitely a trigger warning for animal gore for The Only Good Indians. There was a couple really tough scenes to read.

[@TiffWaffles]

I wanted to pick up A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee before I saw that the author has attacked reviewers for giving their honest opinions of her book, and I immediately unhauled it. Honestly, I feel like I should have recycled the book because I didn't want a new reader to this author to be attacked by this person and her angry horde of fans- but I put it in the donation bin at some charity shop. Serpent & Dove was inspired by the French Affair of the Poisons/the witch hunts in France, and I picked it up because of that... it even has a historical character that is present in history, but the author sucks at writing and it was a HUGE disappointment. Poorly plotted, the characters weren't developed properly, it was hanging on the whole 'plot, what the fuck is the plot?' line throughout the book. It was just horrible and I unhauled this book pretty quickly. Besides, the one black character that was present (Ebony) just seemed to exist because the author felt that she needed to add diversity to her book.

[@shinyswondrouslibrary]

the new hair colour really suits you

[@beckzbooks]

*moment of silence* for the unhauled books 😂

[@teresastaite436]

I wish I had your library or lived near you so that I could buy some of your unhauled books . You have an amazing library and selection . It was a fun and interesting watch.

[@juliacash8135]

Just so you know I would not give serpent and dove to the middle school class. It has quite a bit of spicy scenes in it that I would not give a middle schooler. I’d say it’s age 15+. Maybe check some of the other YA books for spice before you give them to middle schoolers.

[@juliacash8135]

What are you doing with the books you’re unhauling? Because if you haven’t already gave them away or have a plan for them I’d love to buy some from you. Do you have pandago books?

[@rsousa9655]

the vanishing half was alright imo. definitely overhyped so would probably unhaul

[@annelisecoffey2315]

You say a couple times that you love when books are written in prose…. Prose means anything written with a normal grammatical structure so that could be every book you have on your shelf. I think you mean poetry?

[@thesoulfulbunny6067]

Yes for keeping The Grace Year! It was five stars for me 😍 I personally didn’t like The Book of Cold Cases. I would skip that one 🙁

[@halimajeilani5082]

Grest unhaul, must have been difficult for you. How are you getting rid of them? Are they available for purchase/exhange? I'd love to get my hands on a few of them 😅

[@LynnT2280]

Kingdom of Flesh and Fire. If you decide to get rid of the hardbacks are you willing to sell them?

[@bethanamyh]

DON’T read The Only Good Indians…you’re welcome xo

[@Oceanweeks]

KEEP THE GRACE YEAR

[@SydB18]

Really did not like Bridge of Clay... don't think you'll be missing out imo

[@kitkatkc9]

I am on your side with everything except And Then There Were None 😂 there is no book inspired by it that can do the original story justice, none of them 😅❌

[@annmoore321]

This! Nothing compares to the original by the Queen of Mystery.

[@SydBookWorrom]

Okay wait DULY NOTED🫡

[@annmoore321]

No! And Then There Were None is amazing!

[@Sad.Purple.unicorn]

I love how fast you got through these 👏🏼

[@mariadamore1963]

I love a good unhaul! I need to do one soon myself!

[@leastidyworld4365]

Isn’t every book told in prose? Do you mean verse?

[@BoNs414]

"What Alice Forgot" was interesting, but not a 5* keeper.

[@emma472]

I kept only the second book of a series because the other books were terrible lol. Keep books that add value to your life!

[@gisellahoward-qr3us]

You should gift those books to your subscribers ❤😊 maybe think of a game

[@heatherprince9845]

KEEP THE GRACE YEAR AND READ IT, YOU’ll LOVE IT!!!!!❤

[@Bookbonkers8439]

You should have a Pango books account because I would totally buy some of these books from you!! 🙅‍♀️

[@andrewseegulam8682]

YES! I just unhauled over 100 books feels so good!

[@YW2324]

Good for you. I dont have over 100 yet lol 😆

[@EmyN]

Book unhauls are so satisfying

[@kiannamoss4896]

Unbroken i thought was super boring and not worth reading

[@lupe1808]

Hey Sydney, my name is Sydney too and I am Book fanatic too 😂.

[@droslynnehebard2822]

with the fire on high is really good if you like Acevedo!

[@catherinebugden]

Aurora rising is so good but start at the first book- innkeeper series.

[@elisathebookworm]

I recommend keeping "The Vanishing Half" it's a great book

[@iloveanimals17]

Somebody's Daughter is so beautiful!

[@stormofapril]

Youe hair colour is stunning!

[@themodernbookwoman]

The Grace Year!!! Please!

[@jason-sp8nb]

Don't get rid of anything you will regret it😮

[@sstephreads]

Is prose the same as free verse?? I always thought prose was normal paragraph writing 🤦‍♀️

[@SydBookWorrom]

No no you’re right I said the wrong thing lolol

[@christinegenta7754]

Is it weird to say I’m proud of you?😂 this has to feel so good and you are going to make so many other people so happy with getting the chance to have these!

[@louisity]

Oh and here's a 🙅🏽‍♂️

[@witchymary5246]

Please keep the Jasmine Throne, it's so great!

[@natcatsbookishcafe3799]

I have to admit I didn't love The Only Good Indians, but I did have to put it down for a few weeks due to it being creepy enough to cause some anxiety and mental health issues lol. I can't remember any outright abuse, but there is some gruesome deaths of animals...including a dog so maybe skip...for Ovi's sake????

[@louisity]

I didn't like Truly Devious and I will not continue with the series. I like Little Fires Everywhere. I wanna read a Jodi Picoult book. I have yet to read one. 😅

[@alexisr84798]

Really respect the fact you're able to let go of so many books! I also didn't like daughter of the moon goddess but I haven't been able to let it go because it's so pretty 😭 Also I hated aurora rising and DNF'd illuminae but i've heard that the characters are identical (which makes sense that I didn't like either) so if you liked illuminae I think you'd enjoy aurora rising :)

[@YW2324]

Ya I heard others also say they didn't like daughter of the moon goddess. Why did you not enjoy?

[@ShakellaGordon]

Sooooo…..can we shop with you???

[@vivianwebb7670]

Can I have rock paper scissors?

[@kaesinfinitelibrary]

NOT CALEB WRITING ICE PLANET BBQ FANFIC 😂😂😂😂I'm so proud of you lol 🙅‍♀

[@BooksWithBonnie]

🙅🏾‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️

[@d.edwardmeade3683]

🙅 I think that's the correct emoji 🤣🤣... Successful unhauls 👏👏👏... I like your philosophy of "sending them back into the world" 👍 .. fun vlog! Thank you so much for sharing!! 😊😘

[@shinyswondrouslibrary]

the bookshelves!!!!!

[@scoobydont]

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy is so fucking good. Absolutely ruined me. God I'd kill to get my jands on that special edition 🤤🤤

[@Alex18630]

Random question - but I’m trying to get my hands on They Never Learn and on Amazon here in the UK it’s an absolute fortune ££££££, what would it be like if I bought it from you? With shipping and everything, would it be worth it? X

[@BingoRSA]

🙅 So many books!! I actually love un-hauling and putting books back out into the world

[@HeathersHeroesAndHeroines]

X

[@rockinval93]

I’d love to read The Undertaking Of Hart and Mercy! I’ve heard great things about it!

[@speaking_bookish]

Unpopular opinion: I thought Survive the Night was a good time. Kind of like campy horror movies are fun. I think it’s worth a read. I also really enjoyed Rhapsodic and With the Fire on High! I don’t read much YA anymore either but I think With the Fire on High could still be appealing as the main character is forced into adulthood, the way she juggles that along with the teenage stuff she still needs to finish and it’s all tied together with her love of food. It’s kind of outside what I’d normally read but it’s been a couple years and I still think on it fondly!

[@EnMaHaluu]

You could just send me allll of these 😂 I don't live in a english country so I can't even find any of these anywhere and also I'm too poor to pay for shippings 😂 no but really this is a good unhaul like wow I think I have many years before I could unhaul so many books 😂

[@trinforeman54]

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy isn't cute 😂😂

[@Katiedora122]

I just recently unhauled You Must Not Miss and Horrid, but it's because I realized I prefer Katrina Leno's sad characters over her mad ones. 🙅

[@ravent3016]

I salute your focus and determination to purge your library. Looking at your shelves must be more satisfying. I am a huge rereader, and every time a book in a series I am following comes out, I reread the others. I have books I have read 6 or 7 times. I have a hard time unhauling, and I found it easier when I could take the books to trade in or to exchange at a Little Free Library (LFL). I also donate to the Friends of the Library. That is hard where I live now, so I had a LFL of my own built and will get it put up in the spring because we have frozen ground right now.

[@jeannacata6446]

Going thru my own library refresh right now. Kudos for the discipline 😅🙅🏽‍♀️
