I GOT RID of ALL MY BOOKS!! (huge unhaul!)

So I need to get rid of all my books. What? Or at least pack them all up. The move is finally happening. We are finally moving and we've got to sort this out. As you guys know, this has been a dire, dire, dark situation for the past year because I have had no space on these bookshelves. But we're going to pack them all up and I'm going to try and do quite a substantial unhaul. These are double stacked. There's a lot of books back there. Haven't seen the light of day in years and I don't know what's back there. Honestly, I don't know what kind of rare creature we're going to be unearthing when looking back at this bookshelf. My DDoS supervisor is here. My brother is here. Toby's just here like... Toby's here to help me pack up the books. We're going to go shelf by shelf. We're going to unhaul lots of them. I'm going to disappoint some of you when I'm not unhauling from my TBR. I know, I know, I know. They're going to be mad at me. They're going to be mad. But I've already packed up the TBR and if I'm honest with you, I could not make those decisions right now. I'm not in a space... There's too much going on. There's too much going on with the move. I could not bear to make decisions about unhauling from the TBR. But books I've read, I feel like I know my feeling towards. So shall I just get into it? I don't know how long this is going to be. This could be a very long video. We've got... I don't even know how many... How many books do you think are here? I mean your TBR is what, 300? TBR is 300. I think it's got to be triple that. Nah, I think maybe there's like 600 books here maybe. Yeah, okay. There's a lot. We're going to unhaul. Let's get into it. Should I have a TBR in the box with me? Just so they know if there's noise, that's the little gremlin who's causing it. Okay, first shelf. First shelf. The stuff at the top here... Do I... I don't... Oh, okay. This is horrible. I can't... I can't make this decision, please. I can't make this decision. Do I want to unhaul A Darker Shade of Magic? Do I want to unhaul that? Yeah, I gave it two stars. It can go. But everything else up there, I want to keep. And then going along, I would like to keep... Nibbadi go. You've got Jade City, Toby. It's missing. Toby's got some of my books. If there's any books you're like, where the f*** is that? But where's Tress of the Emerald Sea? And The Cult, I think I have as well. Oh, The Project. Yeah, okay. This can stay. Renegades. It was one of the first books I read when I was getting back into reading. It doesn't stick with me. Like, it wouldn't be a book I'd read today. But I have some nostalgia around it because it's one of the first books I got me back into reading. The Scythes I want to keep. This later I want to keep. House of Hollow can go. That can go. I have no feelings for this. I don't really remember it. To be honest, when I'm unhauling, this is my tactics. It's not about whether I loved or hated a book. It's more, do I remember the book and do I have any feelings towards it? Like, if the book doesn't create any feelings or have nothing to say about it, then I feel like I can unhaul. I want to keep The Raven Cycle. I want to keep Vicious. Daughter of Smoke and Bone can go because I've already unhauled the second and third books. So that can go. And then I think Pet can go. I don't remember much about this. So I'm going to unhaul that as well. Okay, let's take this first layer out and let's see what's behind. I feel like there's not a lot behind this shelf. I feel like it's other shelves. There's more behind. Okay, what have we got back here? We have got... Oh, I have to keep The Barren Nightingale. That's just because I have nicer editions of it now. But that's like my OG. So that has to be kept. Legendborn. I think that's unhaul. I don't really... I didn't love this. The Gilded Ones. Unhaul. I don't remember much about that. There's going to be like a lot of YA fantasy. I feel like we're going to unhaul. What is this? Oh no, that's Katherine Arden. We have to keep her. Emily Wilde. I think I might keep for now. I didn't love it, but I think I'm going to keep that for now. Okay, shelf one. Done. Okay, this shelf... I don't think I'm going to unhaul anything. Because this... Before my shelves became a mess, this shelf was all my favourite books. Like my favourite fantasy editions and like really nice editions. So that's a very quick shelf. There's nothing here I want to unhaul. I don't know how Brotherless Knight ended up here because that is not fantasy, nor one of my favourite books. But everything else is like my nicely Bardugo editions, my lovely Ben Nightingale editions. Let me get one of them out. Look how pretty they are. So yeah, nothing to be unhauled here. We've just got to pack her up. Let's go. Okay, this next shelf. Um, I'm a little bit nervous about it. Uh, um, apprehensive, nervous, a bit scared, also weirdly calm, perhaps on the verge of hysteria. Okay, here we go, here we go, here we go. Let's just go book by book. Let's start over here, I guess. Okay, you need to know I want to keep Tainted Cup and Education in Malice. Hang on, decisions need to be made. Decisions need to be made. I need to make decisions. Do I want to keep an Education in Malice by S.T. Gibson? I will keep it because I feel like there's people who I could like lend this to, who could enjoy it, maybe. Oh, I don't know. Do I want to keep this? Oh my god, Toby, help me make a decision. Coin flip. Coin flip? I don't have a coin. Book flip. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. If it lands, cover up, I keep it. If it lands, if I catch it, backing up, I unhaul it. I wish that I could just disappear. Okay. Landed, cover down. Landed, cover up. Do I unhaul it? Okay, I guess I unhaul it. Yeah, I don't feel much toward this. We can unhaul it. The gods have chosen. Skullduggery Pleasant can go. Tom made me read this in his reaction video. That can go. These I'm going to keep. Even though I'm not continuing Pages & Co, I feel like I could lend this to some kids. Or like Tom's nieces. I feel like they could enjoy it. So I feel like I could lend that to them. Queen Bee I'm keeping. I feel like, again, I enjoyed this. I gave this four stars for this middle grade, even though I'm not continuing the series. So I'll keep that. Okay, now let's, let's go along here. Most of my S series I'm keeping. I'm keeping probably most of this. These I'm keeping. A Magical Coven and The Diviners. Girls of Paper and Fire series. Oh my- Okay, okay, okay, okay. You see what's been happening here? The Ravens and the Monarchs. This is actually a really good YA sorority witches series that I feel like is underrated. So I'm keeping that. Madeline Miller I'm keeping. This is chaotic. These books, I read Daughter of the Moon Goddess and didn't like it. And then I've never read this. But they're such beautiful additions and particularly the spines, I am keeping them because I like having the spines on display. We will- Let's, let's ignore this right now. We'll come back to that. Let's do the second. Orbital is going. Trash. Hated it. I only kept it so it could be in my worst books of the year video. Arch Conspirator by Veronica Roth that I think I'm gonna unhaul as well. Just didn't do it for me. Forgettable. Anything that's forgettable is going. That's the greatest sin. This I'm a little bit 50-50 on. The Alexi Harrow novella series. Didn't love it as much as I've loved other Alexi Harrows but I feel like Alexi Harrow is an author I'm gonna have a lot of her books going forward and like have a collection of her books. So I want to keep it- Excuse me. I want to keep it because of that. Sean Maguire Wayward Children series is staying. Oh my god. It's pretty cute. Francis Harding Legends and Lat- Toby can attest. Legends and Lattes. Good book. Great book. Great book, great series. The third one has come out. I need to get my hands on it. These are staying. Midnight Library. The Midnight Library are staying. Right, let's see what we've got back here. Dear god. Oh, You and the Reaper. I enjoyed. I'm keeping this. I think it just got pushed back there because I had no space but this is a standalone YA fantasy that I actually enjoyed. So I'm keeping that. What the he- Oh. Oh no. This is so bad. Going. Going was probably one of my worst books of the year last year, I think. It's like Great Gatsby kind of inspired. It was bad. That's going. I wonder how many- I'm not keeping track of how many I've been hauling but hopefully we'll have a counter on screen. A Rivet Enchanted. I'm gonna keep this. Am I? Yes. I enjoyed it but I didn't enjoy it enough to continue the series. Huh? Okay, okay, cover up. I keep it. Catch it this time. I'm gonna try and catch it. Back. I don't. Cover. We're keeping it. Bella Donna. Can go. Found this. Very boring. Very meh. Should have loved it. Gothic. And it was disappointing. So that's going. That's a nice addition. Someone will get. Oh, Book of Night by Holly- Now here's the thing. I don't know what I'm allowed to do with ARCs. Whether I'm allowed to give them to like a secondhand bookshop or not. But I'm unhauling it. Whatever. I don't know. I just gotta figure out what I'm allowed to do with it. But I'm unhauling it. Where I have an ARC of Where the Drowned Girls Go. Even though I have the normal book. I think. Maybe. Maybe I don't. I'm gonna keep that. And then what have we got here? Heartless by Marissa Meyer. I feel like I'm gonna keep this just because I have a lot of Marissa Meyer. And it kind of goes with them. And they're- Oh, I forgot. Okay, okay, okay. Keep the ARC of Girls in Storm's Shadow I have. Even though I have the other edition. Because I really like that series. And keep The Winch of the Witch by Katherine motherfucking Arden. As she's known in this house. Toby, we always refer to her as Katherine motherfucking Arden. Like, that's what she's known as. Even though I have the other editions. It's one of my favourite series. So we're keeping that. Okie dokie. We now have to pack these up. How do you feel about that, Toby? So excited. Yep. Let's go. Okay, next shelf. I feel like at a quick glance I'm not gonna unhaul a lot that's like forward facing. It's just what is behind. I don't know. Okay, here we go. Let's go one by one. The Phoenix Keep- Okay, hold on. I'm like, I'm not gonna unhaul anything from here. And then, okay. But I did tell a bit of a lie there. The familiar I'm not unhauling. The Phoenix Keeper. I can't remember what rating I gave this. But it wasn't super high. Should I do a flip? Okay, flip time. Cover up. I think. That was a bit- It was sideways. Okay, another one, another one, another one. Cover up. We're keeping it. I feel like that is another one I can lend people. Who am I lending- Who are these people I'm lending books to? In my brain. Okay, which co-op favorite girls we're keeping. The Diviners we're keeping. Let me just actually look at the front here and see if there's anything I'm not keeping. Because then we'll pack everything else up. All these. Singing Hills, Psycho, I want to keep. The Schwab Spell Shop. Oh, Divine Rivals can go. Divine Rivals can absolutely go. That can get gown. I did not enjoy this. Oh, Ghostwood Song. This is a bit of a forgettable one, I think. I think that one can go. Okay, Anne Crim I want to keep. All of these I want to keep. Oh, we have some- Okay, these two were when I paid that service. The like tbr.co one to recommend me books. And they didn't do it for me. I think I gave them both pretty low ratings. So both of these don't stick in my mind. I think I will let go. Let's see what's behind here now. Um, oh, gold. Okay, interesting. Over the Woodward Wall. And along with what I see. I think I'm gonna keep. Just because I keep. I have a lot of Shaun of the Wild books. It makes sense to like- I like when I- Oh, there's- The dust is gonna make me sneeze. Oh my god, the amount of dust that is now swirled. I don't know if they can see it. Can they see the dust? I can see the dust. I'm gonna keep these. I'm gonna keep them even though I didn't love them. The Cat Who Saved Books. I don't even remember what this book is. Yeah, me. He could be walking down the street. I wouldn't- I wouldn't know a thing. So I'm gonna let it go. What? My mum would love that book. I don't think she would. It's got a cat on the front. Yeah, she doesn't read any books I give her anymore. Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yvette. I think like- Part of me feels like trauma bonded to this book. Okay, Toby's saying unhaul. I was gonna unhaul it. That can go. Kai Cave. I didn't love. I was disappointed by this one. So that's gonna go as well. That can go. Somewhere Beyond the Sea by T.J. Klune. I'm gonna keep because it's the sequel to House on the Rooftop. Even though I didn't love it. I think I gave this like three. I do love the first one. It makes sense to keep it sequel in case anyone- Again, these- These mythical people that I'm lending books to. Everything else here is staying. So let's pack it up. Okay. Hello, what's this thing on the floor? This is my more like magical realism slash sci-fi shelf. So let's see what we want to get rid of here. Okay. The Perishing was like a really, really weird book. That I remember like enjoying that it was shooting for something. But I don't remember it. And it's not a book that I feel like I could recommend to anyone. So I'm gonna unhaul that one. Diesel I want to stay. Before the Coffee Gets Cold I want to stay. A.S. Kings I want to stay. Split Tooth I want to stay. A lot of these I want to stay. Anything- Oh my god. Why is this even still here? Security! Can you please escort this lady over here out? I think this was my worst book of last year. It is bad. Really bad. It's like AI romance horror sci-fi. It was awful. That's- That can go. All those I want to keep. Do I like- Okay, hang on. The Foreman Coffee Shop I feel like I remember. And also an Absolutely Remarkable Thing was a bit disappointing. But I'm gonna keep that. The Foreman Coffee Shop- Actually, I love this edition. I'm gonna keep that. I'm gonna keep that as well. Okay, let's see what's hiding behind here. Okay, The Echo Wife. Forgot Existed. That can go. That can absolutely go. What the **** was this book about? Oh yeah, okay. That's going. Rules for Vanishing by K.S. Marshall can go. There is so much dust. It's swirling around me. Can you see it? A very meh YA horror that I've seen done better. So that can go. I forgot I even still owned this. The Ones We're Meant to Find. I remember being really sad about this one. Not loving it. That's going to go. Um, I think I'll keep The Daughter of Dr. Moreau by Simona Garcia. Because I have a lot of Simona Garcia's. This wasn't my favourite. But again, it's an author I probably want to collect. And then The Cartographers by Peng Shepard can go. I get what it was trying to do. It was shooting for something. And I appreciate that. But it did not achieve it. And it was very disappointing in the end. So that one can go too. Okay, Fancy Shelf is done. We now move on to Mystery Thriller. Which I am not going to lie, I'm a bit petrified of. Because you may think it's only like half the shelf. Because half of it is covered. So there's not as much here, let me tell you. The Dark Zone back there. I don't know what's there. That's not my business. That hasn't been my business for a long time. I think this first stack. There's nothing here. I want to unhaul. They're all pretty iconic. Rick Shosman here is covering up something. So let me move him. Oh my god, I can't see what is there. No, nothing there. We want to unhaul. They're all good. Okay, let's take all these out. And see what's in the Dark Zone. Give me a sec. Okay, let me bring all this stuff across. And we'll see what's here. These four books. I'm keeping all of these. These are all books I've enjoyed. All by authors. No, they're all books. These are all like four or five stars. So these are all saying. Then these ones I'm not so sure. Okay, what have we got here? We have got The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendrix. Look at that dust. That is insane. A profound silence has entered the chat. Going. Completely forgettable. What does it say? Unforgettable. That is the opposite of what it is. Death and Croissants by Ian Moore. A very mediocre murder mystery. Cozy murder mystery. That's going. And History of Wild Places. This one I'm going to keep. This is a very interesting like cult-ish story. That I did enjoy, I feel like. So I'm going to keep that one. So not many on that shelf that we're going to unhaul. Although I feel like there may be more. Next shelf. I'm going to be honest. I feel like there's none visible that I want to unhaul. And I feel like that's probably going to be the case for most of the rest of this shelf. Like, I think I keep my favourites visible. And then hide the ones I don't love as much. So I think... Yeah, looking at it. There's none here I want to unhaul. So let's take these out and see what is behind. Okay, let's take those two out. Okay, what have we got here? Bloody hell. Okay, Survive the Night by Rowley Sager is ass. It's a terrible book. But I own a lot of Rowley Sagers. So again, I feel like these authors that I have a lot of their books. And kind of like a collection of their books. I kind of want to keep. If that's wrong, sue me. Yup. In the Hall with the Knife... I think I'm going to unhaul this. It wasn't what I wanted it to be. It was disappointing. Oh my god, the dumb ----. Horror wiki ping. Oh, The Devotion of Suspect X. I'm going to unhaul this one. This one was like... I don't love Japanese... The Dust. I don't love Japanese thrillers. I think I prefer Japanese like mysteries or Japanese like magical realism fantasy. But the thriller tropes and like storylines that they have, I don't love. So I'm gonna unhaul that one. Horrored by Katrina Leno. I'm keeping. That's a great like ghost story book. A Fatal Crossing by Tom Hindle can go. Boring. Tom Hindle I'm sad about. Because he is like one of the bigger mystery, murder mystery authors in the UK. His books are pushed pretty heavily. I have not enjoyed a single one of them. And I will not be reading any more of them. So that one can go. Her Body and Other Parties by Kamen Rider Machado staying. Monster Calls by Patrick Ness staying. The Drift by CJ Chudas staying. I have a lot of CJ Chudas. So I can finally put them all together. I feel like they've been split up. What S.A. Cosby is this? All of a sudden it's Leader. That's staying. I really, really enjoyed that. What else do we have back here? Ace of Spades. I'm gonna unhaul that one. That one makes me very sad. I am yet to enjoy a 3-day B.K.E. Mini. I love her premises. I'm gonna give her one last go. I think with her third book when that comes out. But this one was very disappointing. Okay, if we were villains. I didn't love. I feel like I gave three stars. But I want to keep it. There's just something about this book. I feel like I have memories about it. I feel like it's one of the first books I read when I started Booktube. I want to keep it. Even though I didn't love it. And that doesn't always make sense. But I told you it was going to be vibes based. Okay, that's that shelf done. Oh, we have a plant. I feel like I can't even look at it. I can't unhaul. No one can unhaul that. Well, I don't know actually. Who knows? It's been hidden for how many years? Yeah, that's true. Okay, next shelf. Um, there's a lot of books here. That series. The truly devious series. I don't want to unhaul. Obviously, we're not unhauling Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter. None of these murder mysteries. Do I want to unhaul? Oh, this can go at the bottom. Oh my god. It's a load bearer. Don't take it out. I can do it. Toby opinions. Hated this book. But I do have a lot of books by this author. They're one of my favourite authors otherwise. If you've got other books, why keep one you hate? Okay. We'll unhaul it. This stack here that we can partially see. Don't want to unhaul any Aggies. Don't want to unhaul these. Defeat. Should I unhaul? Should I take the rest of the set? I don't know how to even go about this. What a catastrophe. Okay. Come on, Yampa. Don't you come. Okay. Oh, there's a lot of books back here as well. Okay. Hang on. There's ******* pens back here. What the hell? Why are there pens? Why are there pens here? Green ones. Well, we have pens, everyone. We're keeping all of these. Keeping these. The Feast. Do I want to unhaul this? No, I feel like it's an interesting classic and I really like the cover. Shari's we're keeping. When the stars go dark we're keeping. Courtney Summers we're keeping. There's a lot of books back there. I'm gonna unhaul. I love this edition though. This is one of my favourite covers. Let me tell this story one last time before we go. This is like layers of card that have been photographed. Isn't that so cool? It's like a... It's been layered and I think it's so cool. But I didn't love the book and it feels pretty forgettable. So this can go to a better home. Uh, right. Jesus Christ. I'm gonna go... I'm gonna... Let's see what we've got here first, I guess. How to Kill Your Family by Bella Mackie. That can get unhauled. Don't really have memories of reading that. This can definitely go. Death of a Bookseller by Alice Slater. What a womp womp of a book. Personified. What else have we got? What the heck is this? Oh, River Woman, River Demon. Was the third book that TBR.com recommended me. Buck Madrid, right. I've already unhauled the other two. We're gonna unhaul this one as well. And The Death I Gave Him by Mx Liu. Yeah, I don't feel the need to hold on to this one either. It's like a sci-fi Hamlet retelling. And it didn't feel very successful to me. That one can go. We're unhauling a lot here. Um, oh no. Natural Beauty by Ling Ling Huang we're keeping. Um, Sleep by C.R. Taylor. I think it's like a pretty good isolated murder mystery we're keeping. Six Stories. This one is super hyped up. I found it disappointing. So we're gonna unhaul that one. Murder the Family I Really Enjoyed we're keeping. The... okay, we're about to find some books that I have not seen for a long time. Okay, let's make a stack, shall we, here? Jeez, okay. What have we got? Oh, okay. Okay, this book wasn't good. As you can maybe tell by the cover. But I read this in Costa Rica when I went Costa Rica with my Troba trip. And it's like a great memory. So I'm keeping that. Hashtag murder trending. I want to continue this series. I'm keeping that. The Gas List, one of my favourite books. There will be another edition somewhere. I don't know why this has ended up being hidden. But it has. So we're keeping that. That's a momentous Megwood Books lore book. That was one of my first murder mysteries that I read. Oh, interesting. Okay. Okay, okay, okay. The Drowning Woman. I think I gave one star. It was so bad. So we're gonna unhaul that one. The Last Housewife by Ashley Winstead was disappointing. That's something I don't want to unhaul it. I think it's because I like the cover. I'm gonna do a flip. Is it face up I keep it? Uh-huh. Okay, I'm doing it. I have to let it go. I think I gave it like two stars. So it's fine. I just love the cover. Okay, let's let it go. Confessions is another Japanese thriller that I didn't enjoy. There's something about the way they're structured that just doesn't vibe with me. So we'll unhaul that one. The Sanatorium I'm gonna keep because I did enjoy this thriller. Ask for Andrea I'm gonna unhaul. I didn't- there was like a period where a lot of my patrons were reading this and loved it. I did not get the hype, sadly. Oh my gosh, this book. The Antique Hunter's Guide to Murder. One of the most disappointing murder mysteries I've ever read. And then Mr. Magic by Kirsten White I'm gonna keep. This is a very interesting horror that's like themed around a kid's tv show and people who are on it and they don't remember anything. So I'm gonna keep this one. That was a lot of books. That was a lot of books we just tackled. But we did it together. We've only got however many more shelves to go. Okay, next shelf. Again, I feel like there's not a lot here that I want to unhaul. I don't have any- oh no, hang on. This one can go. I'm gonna unhaul The Nesting, another forgettable thriller. That is really the biggest sin when it comes to unhauling. I couldn't really tell you. Oh, it's set in Norway. I remember that. It's like in a posh house. But other than that, I remember this being like a 3, 2.5-y kind of thing. And then I'll also unhaul When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole. I just didn't love this. I'll be open to reading more from this author. I think I own her newer thriller which is... Oh my god, I can't remember what it's called. One of Us Knows. I'm getting confused because they're all one. No one. One of Us Knows. Let's take out what's in front because I don't want to unhaul any more of these. And then let's see what's behind, shall we? Okay, let's bring across what we've got. Oh my god, there's a lot back here. Holy Jesus god, okay. Oh my gosh, look at this! The Bungalow Mystery, Nancy Drew! These are hard to get your hands on. And I think I might read some more of them. I'll keep that. That's really- I love Nancy Drew. The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kirsten White. We've kept one just now. We're gonna get rid of this one. It's a Frankenstein retelling. It's YA. It was meh. I have nothing to say about a lot of these ones I'm unhauling. They're just meh. The Cousins! Aggressively meh. I don't think Karen McManus- Like, they're younger YA and I just don't think they're for me. So I don't think I'll pick any more of those of her ones. Pine. I can't remember really what I thought of this. I can't remember if I enjoyed this or if I didn't. So I'm gonna keep it because I generally don't- I could have given this four stars and I don't know. Okay, a lot of these we are keeping here. The Winner in the Library we're keeping. In My Dreams I Hold a Knife we're keeping. Seven Lively- No. A Very Lively Murder we're keeping. Christie Affair we're keeping. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde we're keeping. The Gas List we're keeping. This one? The Neighbour's Secret? What did I think of this? I don't- Okay, I feel like I don't remember it so maybe I should let it go. I don't know but I just kept Pine for the same reason. Flip, flip. Okay, Cover Up we keep it. Cover Out we're keeping it. I feel like I did enjoy this. Okay everyone, we're starting to really feel it. I'm starting to get tired. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Last mystery on the shelf. Let's see what we've got. Anything here that I want to unhaul? I didn't- The only one here that's a bit meh is The Golden Spoon but it's so unique that I kind of don't want to get rid of it. It's Fake Off meets Murder Mystery. Anything here- Nothing's visible. Nothing visible that I want to unhaul. I don't want to unhaul Holly Jackson, Firekeeper's Daughter, The Big Four is like Agatha Christie's worst book but I don't want to unhaul it because I have like every Agatha Christie so that wouldn't make sense to do so. And then we begin on a few of my Lady Hardcastle's there. So let's pull everything out and see. Like I said, I feel like these shelves- Oh my god. These just emerged, The Writing Retreat and The Chateau. We're keeping both of those. I feel like these shelves it was what was pushed away that I wanted to unhaul, not what was visible. Unlike there were a few of those fantasy books that was like, they were visible that I was like, What the heck book is that? This is a- Okay. Oh my god. It's The Woman I Wanted To Be by Diane von Furstenberg. I have a soft spot for Diane von Furstenberg. I don't know why that's in Mystery Thriller because it's a memoir but it's saying because I love Diane von Furstenberg. Oh my god. Let's just get all the Lady Hardcastle's out as well because they're not going anywhere. I think I probably have like 10 at this point. Toby the series. I know it looks unassuming but let me tell you, it's the greatest work of fiction known to man. Alrighty. We've got you. We've got- Oh my god. I'm gonna keep sharing the peanut because that's another author of what- What? Dust. Cut to other camera. Ignore that. A filthy- Oh! A filthy rude little bitch. I have some questions for you was a bit meh but I really like the second half of this. The first half of this was like a boarding school which should be fun but it wasn't. The second half was a court setting that I did enjoy. I'm gonna keep that one. Homecoming, however, this brick can go. This brick can go. This was so boring. I don't know. I- Did I finish this? I think I did. I think I pushed through but it was like the most boring book ever. And then we got some little books here. What have we got here? Agatha Christie can stay. These are like cute little fun. An old woman- An 88 year old woman killing people that can stay. Oh and then this is staying. You're guys not getting murdered in the Quaint English Village. It's very fun. This is staying. Did we only unhaul Homecoming from that whole place? I think so. Oh. Not a very unhaul-y shelf. There we go. Okay, mystery thriller done. We're now gonna get onto my half shelf which has my smaller genres in it. Again, I feel like these are quite well double stacked so I'm not sure what is back there. Okay, full disclosure. We have been gone for hours. We went. We had to get more boxes. We've run out of guys. I don't think I was prepared for how many books I own. It's a real problem. And then we had lunch. So we've been gone for hours. It's now like dark outside so bear with. But we're on the final like half bookshelf. So this top shelf you're looking at was supposed to be like contemporary books but some romance has found its way on here. Out of what we can see... Anything I want to unhaul here? I think, I'm not gonna lie, I think maybe these two. Oh my god. I think maybe Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and The Kamigawa Future Detectives can go. I think I remember finding both of these a little bit disappointing and not quite doing what I wanted from that like cozy bookshop vibe. So those can go. But I think the rest out of what's the front here I want to keep. Let's take those out and then see what's behind. Like always, I don't do that. As you can see it's basically a whole nother shelf. Okay let's take these as we go. So Love Aubrey. Definitely staying one of my favourite books of all time. Like in terms of... I read this when I was probably eight years old and it still sticks with me. Oh god, oh god. Here's the thing. YA contemporary... I don't know if I'm... That's not really what my collection and what my reading taste now is. Me and my love at the end of the rainbow, definitely keeping. This is a beautiful beautiful middle grade. I'm gonna keep Watch Us Rise by Renee Watson and Ellen Hagen. But I'm gonna unhaul Felix Ever After and Love is a Revolution because I don't remember what they're about and they didn't stick with me. Then, oh my god, let me take the top of this. Okay no, this is easy because I think all of these... Yeah all of these are staying because I love The Travelling Cat Chronicles. I love Elizabeth Acevedo. Really enjoyed Blackout. Really enjoyed Black Flamingo. Those are all staying. Okay and then the final thing... Oh okay, I think I might unhaul Grown by Tiffany Lee Jackson. Honestly, I don't really remember even reading this and I probably gave it three stars. So that can go. But then we will keep Such a Fun Age, We Are Okay and The Alice. It was meant because I love them. Okay, I just started the romance shelf but I wasn't filming on here. Listen, I think it's miraculous that, from my knowledge, we've made it this far without that happening. So I didn't unhaul anything that was at the front of my romance shelf. You've got your Abbie's. You've got your Emily Henry's. Okay, that's it basically. Let's go see what's behind. Okay, we've got a Crystal Maldonado. Not unhauling. I love Crystal Maldonado books. Oh my god, this used to be my romance and poetry shelf. I forgot. We're gonna see some poetry. Two Charlie Cox's, one of my favourite poets. So we're keeping that. Oh, I'm gonna let go of this Tully Hibbert. I found this one disappointing. It was YA romance and I think I'm just not. At the end of the day, a YA romance. Skelly. Egghead by Bo Burnham. Hmm. I could let this go, you know. I think I've owned this since I was maybe like 13. And I think I made a video once on how the poetry in here is quite bad. But I keep it because I love Bo Burnham. But I don't think it's his greatest work. So those two can go. And then what have we got back here? Um, I'll keep Great Goddesses by Nikita Gell. I think I enjoyed this. Love and Other Natural Disasters. Did I enjoy this? Again, I think it feels a bit meh like Three Stars. So I'm gonna unhaul that. And then The Holiday Swap by Maggie Knox. We can unhaul it because it's very forgettable. Is this one about twins? Have I read this? I don't remember. I don't remember, love. I don't remember at all. I really don't. It was an awful long time ago. That's never a good sign when I don't even know if I've read it. I don't know if I've read this book. Um, I think it's best we let it go then. Okay, next we have graphic novel shelf. I'm gonna be honest, I don't think I can get unhauled a lot from here because I keep this collection pretty tight. We do also have on here one of my gorgeous editions of Pride and Prejudice which is obviously going nowhere. Let's see what we've got. Okay, Heart Stopper's staying. If you have me- Okay, we have got a few actually that I feel like I can unhaul maybe. Tea Dragon. Society. Festival. Whatever is going nowhere. All of these. Moon Cakes. Bloom. Prince of the Dressmaker is staying. Lore Olympus I did just read and wasn't obsessed with. And maybe this is like a kind of book that people could really- someone else could really appreciate. So let's unhaul that one. Heart Stopper is going absolutely nowhere. I'll- I'm gonna keep If You Have Me. The Girl from the Sea I think I might unhaul because that one hasn't stuck with me. Bloodlust and Bonnet I'm gonna keep. But quarantine comics? I, if I'm honest with you, don't remember a thing. So that can go. Laura Deen keeps breaking up with me. And Sheets I want to keep. And then Sargro I want to keep. The House of Lost Horizons. That can go. I feel like I didn't get what this book was trying to do. I think it's based on Hellboy? And I don't know that well. So that can go. I'm gonna keep The Dusty Corner. The Isle of Whispers I'm gonna keep as well. Horror Time. Um, this shelf scares me for many reasons. Oh my god, I think there's a lot of books back here. Oh let me not touch this. All the dust. Out of what's looking at me, do I want to unhaul anything? I don't actually think so. I think I want all of these books. I mean, maybe What Moves the Dead isn't my favourite T. Kingfisher. But again, T. Kingfisher. Oh, not the dust. Not the dust. I think I want to keep all this stuff. So now we just need to see what's behind here. Oh my god, my books are so dusty. Also, I think this is going to be awful for me. Well, there it is. Okay, You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight can go. That was disappointing. Oh my god, House of Leaps. Okay, I feel like I must keep this because it was really a testament of my suffering. Toby, you have no idea what this book is. It's horrific. I'm keeping it because it's a testament of my suffering. Ring Shout, I'm going to keep. Horror Store, I'm going to keep. What else have we got here? Oh my god. Oh, The Rest is Dark. I feel like maybe what I think the plot of this is, is what I thought Ghostwood Song was earlier, which isn't a good song. Funny will keep though. Oh, I'm unhauling The Rest is Dark in case you didn't make that click. Um, Only Good Indians will keep. What else is back here? The Death of Jane Lawrence was disappointing. We can unhaul that one. The Woods Always Watching by Stephanie Perkins will unhaul. And these two will keep. Whenever you are ready. That's going in the video. I hope I get the end of this because that's going in. Okay, I'm tired. I haven't got it in me. I'm exhausted. I'm in shock. And I am traumatised. Last two shelves. We've got history here. The Fair Fight. I think I've almost unhauled this one and then I went back on it. And I don't want to unhaul that, so that's staying. A lot of these probably will stay, although I don't know what's back there. I mean, come on. Toby's my best book of 2025. These are staying. Everything here is staying. Let's see what's behind. Okey dokey. Oh, these are some good ones. The Stationary Shop is staying. Blind Assassin is staying. There's dust in the air. I think I might unhaul this one. The Spirit Engineer. It just hasn't stuck with me. I think this came out in 2021. It's just been a while. Let me get all this out. Oh my god. I'm gonna keep The Forest of Stolen Girls. I'm gonna keep The Color Purple. I don't really like this edition. If I ever see an edition that I like more. And also, I feel like I read this so long ago. I feel like I could reread this at some point and enjoy it. It's a very fun edition that I enjoy more. Maybe I'll get that. Lost Apothecary can stay. I feel like Circus of Wonders was disappointing. Yeah, this was disappointing. This can go. Nightingale will stay. Velvet was the night- I've kept other Silver and Garcia's. And I will keep Miss Pettigrew. Liz Fridae. Oh my god. I only have one last gag. My god. Last shelf. Okay. Obviously, Disney High is staying. Hobie is a no. Untold story of the rise and fall of Disney Channel's community. I think most of these will stay, to be honest. Story of a Murderous Day. I don't think there's anything I can see that I want to get rid of. What are these? Um. Oh, do you know what? I can let go of some of these. I'm gonna let go of the wet- Do I want to go with this? No, I'm gonna keep that. I might get rid of Unwell Women though. This. I want a book like this. I want a book about- No, did I like this one? I'm keeping it. No, I don't want to do it anymore. I've changed my mind. The Five is staying. Know My Name is staying. All of these are staying that you can see here. Let's get these out of the way. I'm just gonna take stuff out until we find something that's not staying. Okay, maybe- Oh my god. I feel like Stacey Dooley on the front line with Women Who Fight Back. I don't really remember. And I don't think that's something I need to keep, really. That was when I was in my journalism era, you know? Part of me thinks like, I'm never gonna need Willem, where there's a will and there's a way again. I didn't enjoy this, necessarily. But it does remind me of the cameo I got from Willem, where she opens it with- Hey Megan, you bugger's bitch. So I feel like I must keep it. Or just think of it, I didn't love the concert book. What the **** is this? Okay, these two can go because I don't remember this one. I remember this one. This is a patron book club and everyone found it a bit disappointing. And then, yeah, I'll keep this. Feminism for the 99% Manifesto. I don't really remember this one. So I think I will pass this on. And this is the kind of thing I think people could benefit more from reading it for the first time rather than holding on to it. Oh my god, we're done. Let's pack these up and I'll film a last clip after. I want the Pacta. Or should we just go to sleep? I think we should go to sleep to end the video. Okay, there we have it. My books are gone. They're all gone. I've got nothing left! What? This is crazy. I actually haven't seen it like this in years. That was an experience. Let me tell you, I think this video for you is going to be like half an hour, 40 minutes long. We started, I think, at about half ten. It is now five o'clock. We did have a two-hour lunch break slash errand break. Getting more boxes. But thank you for watching. I wonder how many I unhauled. I have no concept of how many I just unhauled. Maybe like 80 books. I'm gonna have to figure out what I'm doing with all these books. I think there's a bookshop near me. There's a secondhand bookshop I can take them to, maybe get credit. So we'll see. I don't know. I'm exhausted emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Thank you so much for watching this video of me packing up my entire book collection, basically. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope it was fun to watch. I hope I figured out how to edit the audio in a way that's enjoyable. I don't know when I'm gonna get this video to you because I know it's gonna be a nightmare to edit. But yeah, this will probably be like the last full video. It will be. The last full video I film in this room. So also thank you for joining me for the last years in this room. We're on to a different journey now. But thank you so much for watching. I love you all so much and I'll see you very soon in another video. Bye!
