Final Book Haul Before I Move | June 2024

Three months' worth of hauled books adds up to a lot! So, here's one last look at books I've recently hauled. There's a ton of classic novels on this list as well as some literary fiction. So even though I'm moving I've cleared out a lot of books to make room for books that are harder to find. I have no regrets and hope you enjoy and find some new books to add to your TBR. Happy reading and thanks for watching! #bookhaul

The Cholmondeley surname is pronounced 'Chum-lee' (yes really)

That's crazy! 😂

😂 True. I should have erred on the side of saying fewer letters!

@dorothysatterfield3699 Месяц назад

I envy anyone who is about to read their first Sherlock Holmes book. You enter the world of late Victorian London, go on adventures, and always return to the cozy flat at 221B Baker Street, where Mrs. Hudson does all the housework and serves all the meals. I hope you enjoy the stories as much as I did when I first found them over forty years ago.

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

Thanks! Do you think this is a good one to start with or should I start with book 1?

@dorothysatterfield3699 Месяц назад

@@noteworthyfictionThis is an excellent place to start. It's his earliest book of short stories, and they're some of the best. If you read a few and don't like them, you can just stop without having invested a lot of time. But the very first book, A Study in Scarlet, is a novel. It'll be fun for you to read if you decide you're a Holmes fan, because it describes how Holmes and Watson first met.

@@dorothysatterfield3699 great! Thanks for the insight!

You always have so many books you are hauling that I have never heard of lol. 😀

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

Fun times!

@Dinadoesyoga Месяц назад

Yay! I love me a Nicole massive book haul. 😅 You found a mass market paperback of The Instance of the Fingerpost! I've been looking for that. And those Tor classics are so fun! I might have one on my shelf. I'll have to look. I was today years old when I first heard of Georges. Please read that one soon and tell us about it. I'm highly suspicious of never hearing about it. Happy reading!

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

lol. I love me a Nicole massive book haul too. I did find it in mass market. Usually I'm not a fan of that size, but sometimes it's super satisfying. I am hoping to get to Georges really soon. I also have suspicions and questions about it. Surpressed?bad?amazing? We'll see.

@warraichcleaveland Месяц назад

HEY kislux !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

My pleasure.

@MyMessyBookshelf Месяц назад

We are kindred spirits! Nothing like a last book haul before a big move! 😂 Fabulous haul! I love the Barnes and Noble classics… even more than the penguin black spines.

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

Right! Can't move knowing there will be too many empty spaces when you arrive. I too like B&N Classics more than the black spines. My favorites are Modern Library (larger font like B&N, nice pictures on cover, but also super floppy and nice paper). Best part of black spines are the notes, but I rarely reference those on first reads because of spoilers.

@rainybluereads Месяц назад

You make me want to get back to reading the classics- that’s all I used to read for years!

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

Bwwahahaha. I mean, that's great, Rainy. 😊

@ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged Месяц назад

Ohmygosh the capitalization drives me insane as well. Amazing classics haul! I also have that same edition of Wives and Daughters and I love it.

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

Yes, the need to keep the irregular capitalization and spelling to annotated editions. I personally find it adds nothing to the reading experience.

@MargaretPinard Месяц назад

Ooh, the Dreiser sounds very interesting, for the reasons you mention--wonder if they had communes and Arts & Crafts schools here...

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

Exactly! I also love reading and learning about artist communities.

This was so fun to watch!! Whenever you read them ,I hope you enjoy the read📚. Idk if you read this book,but I highly recommend it,it’s called; the perks of being a wallflower. It’s such an incredibly deep and rich read. I’m nearly finishing it;but I’m taking my time reading it;because the importance it has in apart of my life. I watched the movie first before I read the book. But I’m chugging along with reading the book,and I’m enjoying every once of it!!🙇🏻‍♂️✨

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

ooo. I have heard of The Perks. I'll try to keep it in mind as I search the library. It's on my TBR.

@awebofstories Месяц назад

Great haul! Used bookstores are my catnip! My favorite is in my hometown (about an hour away), so whether I see my family/go that shop depends on if I'm trying to curb my book buying/trying to avoid my family.

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

Book buying or avoid family. These are hard choices.

@believeinyourshelf Месяц назад

For Ernest Hemingway, you absolutely must read The Old Man and the Sea. I hear so many people say it's boring, but my thoughts are that they aren't reading deep enough. It's such a short book and can be read in one sitting, but it has so many themes that can be discussed with someone else...or just to be thought about by oneself.

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

Good idea! I know of that one but don't think I've read it. I have a picture of my dad at the beach that I titled that, I don't think he got the joke! I will definitely keep that in mind over the next few weeks.

@theresas709 Месяц назад

We don't have a lot of used book stores where I live either, but our antique stores have some books. Make sure you check them out. The nearest Half price books or any big store like that is over 2 hours away. We have 3 or 4 small family owned ones but they don't have much.

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

Good idea! I'll also be looking at thrift stores. Where I currently live our thrift stores have amazing classics collections. People unhaul them but few buy them. All the more dangerous for me!

@theresas709 Месяц назад

@@noteworthyfiction Yes, I have found some at Goodwill and Sal. Army

@MargaretPinard Месяц назад

That is a disturbing cover on McTeague-eep! I got that one recently because I liked the other Frank NOrris I read: The Octopus and The Pit were verbose but fascinating.

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

Good to know, but I agree, I can't look at the cover for very long!

@hollyc4624 Месяц назад

I’ve been wanting to read Fyodor Dostoevsky for a while, but have yet to do so. Best of luck on your move and I totally support your book buying 😂🙌🏻 Gotta take advantage of those good prices.

I agree. It cost less to buy and ship them than to buy full price.

What a great haul!!🎉

@sarahs.6838 Месяц назад

Black Water sounds like it could be based on the Teddy Kennedy accident. Almost exactly the same thing happened. I wonder if Oates used it as the basis of her novel!

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

As far as I know it is and she did, but I don't want to say more until I've done a bit more research and confirmed.

@angelaluz405 Месяц назад

I've never heard of Georges...but now I need a copy. It sounds really good. I only know McTeague as the book that inspired the silent film Greed. In the making of Greed, they tried to put on film absolutely everything in the book...which made the original film 9 hours or more long. It was cut down to just over 2 hours for theatrical release, which was still VERY long in the silent era. Obviously very few people have ever seen the full 9 hour film.

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

Wow! Cool details on McTeague. Thanks for letting me know. I can't wait to read Georges. I'm soooo curious.

@MargaretPinard Месяц назад

Ooh, nice! I'll be reading Stendahl this summer too, but the Life of Henri Brulard for a reading vlog 🤓

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

ooo. I'll keep an eye out for that. Happy reading!

Good luck with your move! I moved last October from Nebraska to Maine. I lived in my former home in Nebraska for 26 yrs so we had to dump a lot. I parted with a lot of books which made me very sad but it had to be done. I still have 4 large bookshelves full of books that i love.

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

Thanks for the well wishes. I've been unhauling and reading my shelves for the last 6 mos like crazy. I'm feeling pretty good about where I'm at, but we'll see how I feel after a 4mos separation.

If you want an interesting factoid, the Du Maurier family was somehow related to JM Barrie.

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

That is interesting! Thanks for sharing.

@clarepotter7584 Месяц назад

Oh exciting. The Dumas book looks interesting and Miss Macintosh book described as 'the Arabian Nights of American Life.' I hope your new second hand book is as good!

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

Yes, I'm expecting that it's going to be pretty hard hitting.

@BookZealots Месяц назад

Nicole, Have you read The Count of Monte Cristo? If so, I highly recommend reading The Black Count by Tom Reiss. It is about the true count of Dumas's father. I haven't read Georges by Dumas though. I'll need to find a copy. I saw the title of this video and laughed! 😂 Because all serious readers can relate.

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

I have read The Count and loved it. I'm hoping to check The Black Count out soon, so thanks for the reminder!

@theresas709 Месяц назад

I really enjoyed Sherlock Holmes. All your editions look awesome. Some I haven't heard of. Is that Oates book about Kennedy? Have you ever read The Trumpet Major by T. Hardy? I was thinking of reading that this summer.

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

From what I've heard, yes, it's about the Kennedy incident. I didn't want to say much more until I've done more research on it. I have not read the Trumpet Major. There's still quite a few of his I haven't gotten to. I'll have to keep an eye out for that one.

@carrieamoreno Месяц назад

Kinda crazy to think such an English staple as capitalization had an introduction period 😅 all great things start somewhere

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

lol. So true. Spelling makes sense, but it's amazing how prolific people were despite there being little agreement on capitalization and comma usage.

@Bibliopolitan Месяц назад

Cholmondeley is pronounced 'chumly', believe it or not.

I believe it. It seemed suspicious to try and pronounce all those letters in an English name.

Have you got War and Peace by Tolstoy? It is full of the Napoleonic wars

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

I do! It's the only story that highly features the Napoleonic Wars that I like! I've read it twice now. Maybe my standards are too high and I'm secretly comparing all other accounts to Tolstoy's. 🫤

@abookhug Месяц назад

I would say, better lower your expectations about Trilby, this one can really be frustrating and really didn't age well.

@clarepotter7584 Месяц назад

George Du Mariner was pretty anti semitic, I didn't enjoy 'Trilby'. I was reading it last October at the same as Jennifer Brooks, bless her and she didn't like it either.

@noteworthyfiction Месяц назад

oh no! Thanks for the heads up. I always wonder with lesser known books and works. Sometimes they're cheesy, some times they're good, and sometimes...they deserve to stay hidden!
