Book Unhaul Challenge!

hey guys it's Hannah and today I'm going to be doing at the book unhaul challenge this challenge was created by Lala over on books and Lala so I'll leave her original video as well as her channel link down below but basically this challenge is all about helping you on haul some books from your bookshelves it has ten different questions that kind of help guide you through some like books that you may not need on your shelves anymore and I definitely need that because I am so running out of shelf space I'm no stranger to when hauling books I've filmed like maybe two or three book on hauls in the past but I do also just unhaul books from time to time because I genuinely just don't have enough room in my room anymore and I have too many books which is the opposite of a problem usually but I'm just genuinely out of space at this point and it's definitely time for me to just kind of cleanse my shelves a bit I also just kind of want to try and like trim my collection down more two books that I'm extremely excited for and the ones that I've just truly truly loved because I just need to like cut back a little bit so that's kind of what my goal is with this video but when I saw all I do this challenge I just thought it was super creative and very clever and just like something I needed to do so that's what I'm doing today like I said there are 10 questions and I'm just gonna go through each of them and take at least one book off of my shelves for that the goal is to get at least ten books off of your shelves with the ten questions but I really want to do more than that because I really need the space so we're gonna try and go for like two each question actually no I'm not gonna reserve it to that because I feel like they're gonna be somewhere I'll only have one and then others well I want to take off like five so we'll just we'll see what happens I just realized I keep saying their questions they're not really questions they're just categories but anyway the first category is to and haul a book that you rated low okay for this one I feel like there are a lot of books that I gave pretty low ratings that I've held on to like okay we have 13 reasons why which I did not like this book I've talked about it several times I don't know why I still have it besides this though I could get rid of emergency contact I gave that one a pretty low reading but I haven't like talked about it yet and I feel like I have more feelings to mull over on that one so we'll hold onto that for now yeah for this I think I'm gonna go with 13 reasons why the next category is a book you changed your mind about and I don't know what to choose for this I feel like I've gotten rid of most of the books that I changed my mind about like I just don't have them anymore like throat of glass and I can't even think of anything else but like throne of glass is the first one that comes to mind um yeah so I don't know actually you know what for this I think we're gonna go with the one memory of flora banks this is one that I read and I did a review for a while ago and I liked it when I read it but like since reading some reviews I feel like I like it a little bit less now and I guess that's kind of like changed my mind about it and I just don't see myself like rereading this any time anyway so this one can go OK the next category is a series you won't be completing and I feel like this is probably gonna be more like series I don't plan on even starting because I feel like when I start a series and like I don't like it and I know I won't be finishing it I just get rid of it but like let's see I feel like I feel like I kind of want to get rid of the bone season I don't know this is just a series that I got so long ago and I just don't see myself reading it anymore and I don't honestly even know what it's about like I have no enthusiasm when it comes to it anymore and I feel like I've heard just like some not-so-great things about it more recently so yeah I feel like I should just I should just move on from this part with it because I just I have I have no like time or energy for this I feel like there have to be more series though because like there definitely are also if you're wondering why I'm wearing like a giant cardigan it's because it's freezing cold right now like this shelf I don't want to touch because this is basically like that's like my favorite shelf that's my classic shelf that's my Shadowhunters that's just like definitely series I still want and stock and those are arcs which there could be some arcs I could get rid of well wait on that for another question oh you know another series I don't see myself reading anymore is the wrath and the dawn by renee octa and honestly also the flame in the mist yeah I'm gonna go with these two also because I just don't see myself reading either of these the next category is a book you dnf'd or did not finish I don't have a single book on my shelf that I didn't finish because I've gotten rid of the only book I've ever dnf'd but there are some books that I have like started but I just never finished them not because like I don't plan to finish them in the future just because I just have another time so maybe there's one of those oh I think here's the appetite by David Arnold I started this a while ago but I only read like 15 pages and I just didn't care to keep reading at the time and also maybe a map for wrecked girls which I also started a long time ago but I just never got around to finishing so like I don't know I didn't dns these though yeah we're gonna go with these ok the next category is a book that you have multiple copies of and I feel like I mostly just have multiple copies of like my favorite books and I'm not getting rid of those like we all know I have five copies of the Night Circus I'm not getting rid of any of those but there are a couple books like there are some that I've been sent duplicate copies up cuz I've gotten them in like two separate subscription boxes and stuff like that but I usually just take those off of my shelves anyway because I don't want multiple copies of them oh though there is one book yeah hey Lloyd I have three copies of this book and I already took one of them off of my bookshelves and I feel like I don't need a second one because I haven't even read this yet this one I may like kind of hold on to you for a little while longer just like put it somewhere else in my room just in case I really do like the book so I could have like two special copies but for now I feel like I don't need it taking up more space okay this next one is a book you'll never actually get to and I feel like this is where I've got to be like real honest because there are so many that I'm just never gonna have the time to get around to and it's time for them to just like go because I don't want them to just like seat here unread for so long when someone else could love them one that immediately comes to mind is pinball 1973 and hear the wind sing by Murakami I just don't see myself reading this I also recently had a friend who read a lot of Murakami and didn't like him so I just I don't see myself getting around to this at all anytime soon also star climber and airborne there are like these two sci-fi books these are also part of a series I guess that I just like I don't know enough about them I'm just not super into sci-fi I don't know why I'm holding on to them the tear knots by TC Boyle another one I got in the subscription box that I just like don't see happening okay there are a lot for this and my sci-fi still haven't been cleared out but like the diabolic the hunted the take down yes yep yeah okay yeah I think I got a decent stack here I just don't see myself having any time to get around to these there's so many other books that are like higher priorities for me right now okay the next category is a book you bought because of the hype the first one that jumps to mind when I think of this is the cruel Prince by Holly black but I don't think that like I want to get rid of that just because I didn't like hate that book I just didn't love it and I might maybe you want to read the sequel so I'm not gonna get rid of that one Oh actually I just thought of another one this is another book that I have like multiple copies of I got like this second copy of the shadow of the wind I know this has nothing to do with this category but I just remembered this I got another copy of the shadow of the wind and this is not like the one that I had expected and it came like super damaged so yeah I don't need to keep holding on to this I'm like I guess we can just like qualify this as my hyped one I got rid of a ton for the other ones like I can't think of another hyped book that's on my shelf right now that I just want to get rid of the next category is a book you bought because of the cover which I am so guilty of I do this all the time to this day I don't think there are any on my shelf right now that I bought because of the cover that I want to get rid of but there are some that I'm just like holding on to because of the cover but they were all sent to me the first thing that comes to mind with this is first and then and Wishart by Emma Mills these are actually books that were both sent to me but I just really really liked the covers and that's honestly why I keep holding on to them but I just don't see myself reading them all so I'm totally running out of space on my contemporary shelf I have to and I'm afraid I'm gonna have to like go on to a third which I never thought would happen to be like another one I feel like I need to get rid of is the outsiders by se hinting because like I'm not gonna read this I don't like se Hinton so why am i holding on to it this also has nothing to do with the cover but I'm just like in the zone of unhauling books now so I'm just like taking them off so these are the three that I'm definitely gonna go with for now this next one feels like a personal call out but it's a book that you don't know anything about because like I don't know what a lot of these books are about because I don't read a lot of summaries sometimes cuz I just like being really surprised so I'm sure I could honestly find like so many on here I feel like most of these are gonna have to be ones that were like sent to me in subscription boxes because I didn't even like personally seek them out so I know less about them first ones they come to mind honestly are the Sandcastle on fire and before she ignites I got both of these in subscription boxes and honestly I don't remember what they're about it all like I'm pretty sure this is like a thriller this is obviously like a fantasy but I have so many other books to get to like I just don't see this happening soon another one is everything all at once by Katrina Leno this is another one I got in a subscription box from like a long time ago don't know what this is about other than it's a contemporary yeah I feel like these three are definitely ones that I could say I have no idea what they're about so I probably shouldn't have them on my shelves for this long okay and then the last category is a book that you didn't buy which i think is actually most of these I've actually bought a decent number of them never mind but a lot of them were sent to me so another one that I did not buy myself so probably something that was sent to me by the publisher or in a subscription box okay for this I think I'm gonna go with given to the sea by Mindy McGinnis this is another one that I was sent in a subscription box I don't remember which one but it's from a while ago I was interested in the concept at first but like now I just have so many other books that all of these are just like too many and I I don't have all the time for them so I think this one has to go alright so that is it for the unhaul challenge those are all of the categories and now I'm gonna go through and like count these and then show them each to you because I don't know how many there are my bet is just covered in books okay so I don't know if you can see the stack I would really have to like hold it with my hand so it doesn't fall over because it's so tall it comes all the way up to my hip um yeah these are all the books that I've been hauling let's count them and see how many there are 26 books okay like I don't think I can physically hold all of these my arms are literally not long enough but we're gonna try and hold some of them for this thumbnail they're all falling alright so those are all of the books that I'm on hauling and I'm just gonna go through and show them to you all like I said they're 26 books so I'm not gonna explain why you already saw my process of taking them off my shelves I'm just gonna go through and name each title the bone season and the my mordor by santhu Shannon the takedown and the hunted foolish hearts and first and then by Emma mills at aeronauts the diabolic one memory of flora banks and everything all at once the shadow of the wind before she ignites airborne and star climber the outsiders and thirteen reasons why the sand castle Empire hear the wind sing and in paul 1973 the flame in the mist and the wrath and the dawn by renee atiyah given to the sea and the hearts we sold a Hazelwood and Everland and lastly kids of appetite and a map for wrecked girls alright so there you all have it that is it for my unhaul challenge this was really really good for my bookshelves and my mental state honestly it's just like getting rid of some like clutter some books that I don't need anymore that are just taking up space and it feels really nice to have some more open shelf space that I can rearrange now cuz my shelves are a mess I know a lot of people are gonna ask but I do with my books once I on haul of em I donate them or I sell them to a used bookstore but I'm also actually planning a giveaway for a couple of books not the ones that are featured in here but some other books that I've done hauled recently just on my own that I'm gonna be doing for you guys and it's gonna be like on Twitter I'm putting together like a couple like different packages that just have like some books bookmarks promotional posters and stuff like that little items and things that I've gotten but I just do not have the space for they're all new all unused it's just stuff that I don't have any room for and I wanna be able to give it to you guys because it shouldn't go to waste so yeah I'm gonna be doing those like separately so if you want like some books and stuff that I might be giving away you can go and check that out on Twitter it's not up yet but it will be soon ish so just go check out over there but yeah when it comes to these I'm just gonna be donating them and that'll be really really nice just to give these books a new home to people who will definitely get to read and love them and that's my favorite thing about sharing books it's great that is it for this video let me know in the comments down below if you want all any of your books from time to time just because you need to free up some space or if you don't like a book do you immediately take it off of your shelves I'd love to know your process if you'd like to follow me on any of my social media all of my links are in the description box as always thank you all so much for watching this video I hope you enjoyed and I will see you in my next video bye [Music]
