Unhauling 55 books | Sorting out my collection before moving house

It's been a long time since my last unhaul video, and this time I managed to unhaul 55 books!

Good job unhauling. I say when in doubt, let it go. Unless a book is out of print and in ebook format, it's not like you can't read it the future if you really are dying to. Books should be a joy, not a burden that makes you feel guilt for not reading, or stress from not having room for books you love. And tbh, having multiple copies of multiple series seems like a luxury that few can support storing. Let the books you don't love go to make room for new loves, and let the ones you won't re-read go so others can find them. I sometimes only keep one book of a series if I didn't love the rest enough to re-read. There are synopses online if one needs a refresher on the plot. I love well-designed books are beautiful objects, but having multiple copies is not necessary. About signed books - yes, those are harder to let go, especially when personalized. I go back to how much I love the book and whether keeping it will prevent me from keeping a book I like better. Tastes do change. And if you take a photo of the signature, you still have the memory. Add it to your reading journal with a paragraph about how you felt at the time.

"I'm sorry if I unhauled a book you really love" I saw one of my favorites on the shelf and thought to myself, "If she unhauls that, I'm gonna be so sad" but it stayed

Oh my gosh I LOVE Nina LaCour! I still haven’t read Hold Still but I definitely won’t unhaul it❤️

I am much older than you, so I have had to come to terms with the fact that I can't own every book I read. I wouldn't be physically able to. I stopped buying every book by an author just to have a complete physical set. I might collect all the ebooks but I only keep the physical favorites. There is a never-ending stream of limited edition and collectors sets of all popular books and series. Over time, one gets immune unless there is an absolute favorite. And then one only needs a single copy.

Thank you for the comments! I definitely see myself changing as I get older, and may be I will become stricter or more lax with what I keep and what I let go of. I already see myself changing and not feeling the need to keep as many editions as I formulate more of a collection!

Why do the spines of these broken stars all look so ugly together who made that design choice
