Brutal Book Purge 2023 | Unhaul Books With Me [CC] 

I'm a book minimalist. Only own books I absolutely love and will reread very often.

I have a few treasure tomes sogned by favorite authors, but I'm not really a collector. I'm a habitual re-reader. At this point in my life, I have enough books read and unread/TBR that my 2024 focus is unhauling. Some I will read and only keep if I love them or know I will reread so I can continue a series. Some I have ebooks for, and I'll unhaul. I will use my local library more. I am being ruthless. I will soon put up the Little Free Library I had built and start releasing the books into the wild. That thought makes me feel happy.

I love a brutal book purge! I have to sit down and actually get rid of some books, they're overwhelming me 😭 Thank you for the inspiration!!

I dont struggle with keeping read books. I struggle with letting go of unread ones. The potential is painful to lose

Loved to see your “keepers” shelf as a reminder of great books I should read 🤩

God this was so much fun! Also, not me thinking of buying every single book in this video 😂

I unhaul a book if: a. I didn’t like it, b. properly DNFed it, c. wouldn’t reread it, d. It’s been on my shelves for too long without being read and I’ve lost interest in it and e. someone will get more out of it than I did. I try to be very ruthless with my unhauls now too as I don’t have tons of space, and when I do eventually move, I would like my collection to be a bit more manageable. At the moment though it would be great if I could actually get my unhauled books out of the house, rather than leave them stacked in a corner for months on end.

Your shame faces were a delight. 😂 Great job unhauling! I’m in the midst of the process myself, and it feels good to let them go. I’m only keeping books I still want to read (which is not a lot of YA anymore) and books I’ve truly enjoyed.

Unhauls are housekeeping for booktubers! I do it every January as the rest of the house ❣

I have such a difficult time unhauling books. You are so amazing for a brutal unhaul.

Yessss unhaul time!!

You don’t need to apologize 😂

Do you have a place you sell your books? Because there are a few on her I would absolutely be interested in! I love your unhauls, you always do so well!

lol same on bear and nightingale and Becky chambers! Have you finished the bone shard series? I found book one so good, two a bit meh and three just didn’t bring it back for me. I am so sad. So intrigued it’s part of your personality 😂❤

Love a purge! Poor editing Judith getting all the work 😆

❤❤❤

Well, at least you got to dust your shelves...
