unhauling 100 books !!!

[@jaimee-kate]

Nothing I love more than an Unhaul! It feels cleansing. You kept saying "this isn't interesting, this is so boring" -- I promise you, I was SAT and locked in the whole time!

[@AliDoisRead]

🥹 omg thank you!! Yeah I was surprised how great it felt! cleansing is such a good way to describe it 🧘🏻‍♀️

​@@AliDoisRead I don't have enough books or I haven't read enough to unhaul like you did. 😊 But one day I will. Lol 😆

[@lisafrankensteinn]

‘im a hoarder but when i purge I purge a little too well’ i have never heard something so true! it takes me so long to build up the courage to unhaul stuff but once I do I’m far too good at it 😭

[@graysonlyurs]

Same and I’ve regretted it very often 🥲

i love unhauls honestly more than hauls or reviews, feels theraputic. And I lOve your energy🤣

This was not boring whatsoever omg I loved it so much, you’re hilarious and I trust your book judgement sm

Thank you!

[@michellemp1626]

I was cracking up. Ali, your videos are NEVER boring. You are so funny!! This was the most entertaining unhaul video I've ever watched. Congrats on unhauling all of these books. I've unhauled around 100 books this year, and it felt great! High 5!!!

[@AliDoisRead]

Omg thank you!! 🤭🤭 It really does feel great! I’m so shocked lol

[@kazreadsbooks]

@@AliDoisRead I think unhauls are kinda therapeutic for me, it's kinda cleansing and I love to reflect my past choices and trying to not repeat some of my past "mistakes" like buying popular books I know wouldn't be my cup of tea, or book tastes just changing over the years which just happens :3 I'm getting better at letting books go, pretty books make it hard for me but I'm also getting better at mostly buying books I do enjoy 😁💕 I just discovered your videos, bc I was binging book unhauls, and it was really fun so yeah I agree that it wasn't boring in the least ^^

[@AliDoisRead]

100 is impressive- I love to unhaul books to send then on to a new home and make room for more books to come into my life!

[@heechulelf]

I can't begin to even declutter my online tbr list that's completely unphysical, the power this needs is astonishing

[@AliDoisRead]

omg my online tbr is a scary place hahaha

[@so_big_hope8694]

Honestly I also couldn't keep a book that has an unpleasant smell. I liked the 'book of night', but I can see why people wouldn't finish it. 'Skyward' is on my tbr. Arcs can be given away BUT NOT SOLD. I didn't really enjoy 'seven days in june', also unhauling it :) I read 'the girl who fell beneath the sea' and 'The society of irregular witched', gave both 1 or 2 stars *gasp*. I have such a hard time getting rid of pretty books, but watching unhauls helps me look at the books I own in a more critical way. Ps. subscibed to you, you're so fun to watch, leved this vid

[@YW2324]

Agreed 💯. Very well said 😃

[@OnlyIfForAPage]

I love unhauls and it was so fun to watch you go from "I don't know if I can unhaul 20" to then unhauling 100 😁

[@MrRoro_su]

I keep all my 5 stars. And i barely re read. Im scared that they are not available anymore when / if it's out of print 😅

[@AliDoisRead]

I’ve never even THOUGHT about that **screams**

[@backtoreads]

this was fun and not boring at all!!!! also I could never get rid of my 4/5 star reads hahaha but I also do love re-reading though so that's just me also girl don't feel bad about your book buying habits, I know there's loads of think pieces on the "over consumption" of books but I honestly don't think it compares to actual over consumption or fast fashion. there's this substack piece I really like titled, "no one buys books" which gives insight into book buying with actual numbers from major pub houses. it a cool piece if you want to check it out :")))

[@AliDoisRead]

I think I was on that declutter high because I’m having some regrets 😂 Ooh I’ll look into that for sure! It’s weird, I feel so happy for other people getting new books all the time but am so hard on myself for it smh 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wow 100 👏🏽👏🏽Good job!! I love how you kept saying I’m not gonna keep explaining why I’m unhauling this book and then you kept explaining.😂 I say “to make a long story short “ and then tell the whole story so I felt really represented there😅. Another great time. Hope the move went well and you’re settling in okay.

[@AliDoisRead]

Lmao I was rolling my eyes editing this. Especially the couple times I said “no comment” and then proceeded to comment at length 😂 Thank you!!

[@maxanderson8623]

For the past few days I've been watching unhaul videos like my life depends on it, and yours was EASILY my favourite lol! Your love for your books is so nice to see, but alas the need to unhaul will get to us all at one point or another 😔. Hoping to see more of your videos in the future, you seem like a lovely person :)

[@AliDoisRead]

Ahh thank you!! This is so nice to hear 🥹

[@KatieColson]

Moving in 4 days? Omg good luck girl. Also, you did a fantastic job at unhauling here. It’s so hard but so cathartic

[@thepeachygamer7392]

I’m so happy to hear someone else didn’t like powerless, the ending just fell so flat for me because part of me was hoping she was going to get her powers somehow but she was still just plain and normal. Idk didn’t feel it

[@dittebrouer2855]

Purging books is such a good feeling. I sometimes find a book I can't remember reading, buying or why I wanted it in the first place. Now I've started to not keep them if I felt the were just fine. The hardest thing is to get rid of really pretty books, even though you didn't care for it 😅

[@YW2324]

Yesss exactly 😅. I don't really have any books like that. Lol 😆. But I did give some to free little libraries ❤

[@AliDoisRead]

I struggle with the pretty books too 😆

[@AliciaAnnReads]

With ARCs, I think it’s mostly a moral / ethical dilemma. You received a free book in exchange for a review. Regardless of reviewing the book or not, it’s still kind of crappy to turn around and sell it when you received it for free bc a publisher and / or author wanted you to give your opinion on it. There’s no law though if you want to sell it; it’s more just considered rude. But also, like another comment said, ARCs change a lot, so that could be a slightly different book from the final version, and whoever gets that ARC might not know it’s an ARC and might blast the book negatively across social media and review platforms bc they got the raw version. I would hate that for an author. If you’re giving it away, I would literally write inside the front cover that this is an advanced reader copy and the final book sent to print could potentially be different.

[@AliDoisRead]

That makes a lot of sense. Yeah I was planning on donating all of these but I will def write in it so it’s very clear this is an unfinished copy! Thanks for the advice!

[@candyhyojung1860]

omg first time watching you and kinda obsessed hehe❤ also i think you can keep 4 or 5 stars you really loved even if you dont think you'll reread it! it can be hard to get rid of things and i find it's so much easier to just not buy books than to try and get rid of ones you already own (even if you didnt love them). so i find it so good to use the library and then i only buy the book i really love and then i also don't have to get rid off 3 stars bc i dont have them aha. its just a system that works really well for me and means you dont feel any guilt over keeping or getting rid of mediocre fine books and i find you consider what you're buying more. :)

[@AliDoisRead]

Omg thank you!! You are so right, library and then only buying my favs is how I’m going to try to do it going forward (wish me luck lol)

[@AliDoisRead]

[@francoisedelmotte9191]

I no longer have the time or even the inclination to reread any books. Because I want to discover and enrich my culture again and again. And I know that I have so much more to listen to read and see that I'll never be able to do it all. But it doesn't stop me from trying as much as I can. So when I buy a book, it's often on new but interesting subjects. And if I loved it, or if I was affected by my reading, even just a little, I keep the book. The limit is space and my money belt. But I keep them as trophies, or rather as a sort of archive of my discoveries. Which is why I find it so hard to get rid of my books now that I have more room to put them away.

[@stevie__reads]

[@picklejuice2]

I think you're being really hard on yourself here 😟 books and reading brings us joy! And sharing that passion with others also brings deep joy. So "just seeing them on my shelf" or "keeping it just for someone else to notice it on my shelf" isn't silly or stupid at all. Maybe im projecting** but i think we may have had a similar experience in childhood of not having a home that felt like OUR HOME so all of these "homey" things feel superfluous. But i promise you its not. You are allowed to have things and keep things just bc they bring you a bit of joy. [[ if i was totally just projecting please ignore

[@AliDoisRead]

I totally get that! I feel like my thing though is that I only want my absolute comfort favs surrounding me. But you’re so right joy over everything else 🤭

[@RainbowSunny1]

I think it’s okay to keep books you liked, won’t reread but they’re so pretty!

[@BookChats]

When you got to that maybe like for the unread books wow was that relatable. Anyway, if you want to read some sci-fi murder mysteries those exist! The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal is the one I've read and it's definitely an adaptation of an old Hollywood noir film.

[@wolfwatch9731]

the idea that you aren’t allowed to resell arcs is. not true lmao. i genuinely don’t know where people got the idea that you can’t sell them. now, most reselling stores (like second & charles and stuff like that) won’t take them for about the same reason they won’t take hardcovers without the dust jacket; it’s lowkey an “incomplete” product. you CAN sell them directly to someone, and if you have a local bookstore that buys back books they might take it, etc. or you can just donate it.

[@candyhyojung1860]

I mean they do say not for sale on them. their purpose is for promotion and reviews not for retail and profit so I guess it's like you shouldn't sell something that you were sent for free to review/promote ? and i guess the not for sale is more like for bookshops to not sell their free, bookseller copies rather than individual online reviewers. no ones going to stop you if you really want to haha.

[@wolfwatch9731]

@@candyhyojung1860 the “not for sale” is, as you brought up, for booksellers as it isn’t a retail product. commercial resellers (like second and charles or half price books) can’t take them. again, there’s nothing preventing you from directly selling to someone else, unless you actually have a legal agreement with the publisher that you received it from.
