Please speak louder. Thanks. I’m 77 but your site is tough for me to hear.

The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams! My favorite book

“You just lose the mood” YES

I loved my Brilliant Friend and the next three Neapolitan books, Anna Karenina is great, as is Tess! Ferante, Tolstoy and Hardy are all excellent writers! So I’m here talking to your video, saying “nooooo, keep that one, you will read it one day and love it!”However, those are some of my favorites. I do admire you are able to let go of the ones you don’t think you will ever read or reread.Happy unhauling!

What a great video!!! I love people I’ll never meet understand a part of me that some of my daily people never will😂 John Mark Comer books are good!

i recommend Small Great Things. I'm currently reading Qmericn Dirt for the 2nd time. tHIS TIME FOR BOOK CLUB. i ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT.

love a book un-haul ... as much as a book haul. Commend you on your diligence in getting rid of books. I'm so in denial about going thru all my TBR books - and parting with ones I haven't read yet. I do NOT keep anything I've read unless I truly think I will re-read it at some point. Have a fun September with all your celebrations! Jacqueline

A.J. Fikry is one of my all time favs. It is wonderful.

I purge my shelves every quarter. Sometimes it’s hard to find books to unhaul and other times there’s no stopping me!😂

There are quite a few on your shelf that I've read and enjoyed but if I can only pick one to recommend that you read, I have to say The Dream Daughter by Diane Chamberlain. Absolutely loved it.

I recommend The Downstairs Girl! I really enjoyed it- it is a great story, lovable characters, unique historical context, and not a “heavy” read

Washington Black is the best book I've read this year, hands down! and I think our taste is pretty similar!

A Piece of the World was really bad (in my opinion).. 2 stars.. if it hadn't been a short book I would have DNFed it. Pillars of the Earth is an all time favorite read.. that said I read it a LONG time ago when I was just getting back into to reading so I don't know if I would still love it now. So a more recent vote would be This Tender Land. Finn is so super cute!! Glad you guys are on the mends!

I'd reccommend The Storied Life of AJ Fikry by: Gabrielle Zevin.

Loved what the wind knows!!

I read homecoming and the forgotten garden and loved them! I have the rest of Kate Morton’s books but the fact is they so long! I know I’ll love them but they huge!! I’ve been wanting to read the lake house for a while!

I need to read the diamond eye!

I didn’t love the Paris library the way others did

I really need to read the giver of stars!

I loved the nightengale!

I also don’t care about Daisy jones

It does feel good to get a lot of books you're no longer interested in off your shelves. I purged mine a few times four or five years ago, and now I don't usually find as many books to get rid of (though that might change with all the books I've been buying the last few years). It's so hard to narrow your list down to one book, but I'm going to go with Greenglass House. It's a fun middle grade read, and everything else I thought of recommending is harder hitting, so since you're interested in lighter, more fun books lately, I'll go with that one.

P.S. SORRY! Meant thanks Gloria...

I LOVE almost all of J. Chiaverini'shistorical fiction bks; but I like the type that has lots of facts. Also loved The Snow Child. That author had a new one come out 2 yrs. ago?? Got it and will read this winter. Finn is adorable! Can't believe he is 11 mos! Thanks Jen

I love unhauls!

You are so good being brutal - I go through moments of wanting to be brutal and then I remember rebuying books I got rid of in the past! I've decided that I need to do an unhaul of books I can bear to part with and also have some rules around physical book buying which is purely because of the lack of space and remembering how difficult I find it to get rid of books once I own them. From your list, if I had to pick one, it would be A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. I had My Brilliant Friend out of the library for a couple of months and then when that list was released, thought I should read the first 50 pages and it was a dnf - I could see why it gets praise but I didn't want to read about lifelong frenemies from the perspective of a jealous character that I just didn't like.

Great job on organizing and unhauling! The books on your list that I have read and stuck with me are The Kitchen House, Plain Truth, This Tender Land, Cane River and Burial Rites. I’d also say Pillars of the Earth but it is a chunky monkey!

The Dream Daughter by Diane Chamberlain

From your Goodreads link, I recommend West with the Night. It was funnier than I thought it would be.

Girl with the Louding Voice

Okay, I love 3 of your Christian NF books. Just thinking about what you stated where your level of “deep thinking” is currently, I’m going to say Unoffendable is my one choice. Gosh it’s hard to stop there though!😂

Loved this video! Loved seeing Finn- almost one😱🤯‼️🎉 Way to be brutal with your shelves 💪🏻 I’ll head to goodreads & be back…❤

The book on your list that jumped out to me was The Feather Thief. It was in my top 5 in 2023!

Girl, I’m a first time momma as well and my baby girl is 10 months old. I look “disheveled” the majority of most days haha. & also feel how hard it is to get stuff done during this season. It’s tough but also filled with all the love. I’m inspired now to get all my books onto my Goodreads. Project accepted lol

I had fun looking through your Goodreads shelf - there are SO many good ones on there, but I'm going to recommend A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. There are many others I'd love to mention (like the two true accounts of real people: Angela's Ashes and Unbroken - absolute INCREDIBLE reads), but for fiction, I'm going with A Tree Grows in Brooklyn 🙂 On another note, I read 300 pages of Wolf Hall and GAVE UP!! I love the Tudor era and this was just too much for me! Also, I just ordered your Pango book, The Salt Path! It sounds soooo good! Hubby is from England, we love Cornwall and Devon - so I can't wait to get it! :)

I recommend The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict. I just finished a short story by this author, Agent 355. It was fantastic. I suspect Marie Benedict may become a favorite author for me. Please give Finn a hug for me. He is absolutely adorable.❤

The Little Prince is really good and a quick read if you want to just knock out a TBR book in a sitting or two!

I have read a few of the books on your shelf, and I think that the one I would recommend is The Downstairs Girl. Because it is YA I think you'll be able to fit it in easier, and while it does deal with heavy issues, it isn't so heavy that it is depressing.

I recommend Being Mortal. I teach a Health Psychology course and have a book club assignment. It’s one of the options and it seems like students have enjoyed it so I’ve been keeping it on the list.

The Things They Carried and Angela's Ashes are both great reads for different reasons.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the invention of Hugo Cabret!! And Firefly Lane and I think you should read the little prince since I think you’d really like it

I love how ruthless you were....unhaul with an "I just don't care"!! I can really appreciate that :)

What a project! I love goodreads for the info and sorting. I use storygraph for their stats only. The unhaul - “I don’t care and I don’t care”. 😂 Good for you. I am horrible at unhauling. 😊💙

From your Goodreads link, if I can only choose one (there were several!) to recommend it would be The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd.

The island of sea women by Lisa See. 2nd choice-winter garden by Kristin Hannah. Both really good reads.

Can I pick two? I really loved Lady of the Rivers, but also Time Traveller’s Wife jumps out of the list ✨
