This is why I utilized my local library. I can borrow books and decide if I absolutely LOVE it, then I'll go out and purchase a physical copy, otherwise I'll return it and it won't sit on my shelf. 🤣
This was a riot. Your giggle after picking up certain books rang down into my bones. I know the exact feeling of seeing a book, remembering it, not caring anymore, and just laughing it away. Byeeeee!!! This was a super freeing video. I did a massive unhaul a few years ago before a big move and this makes me want to do another one!
ariel ily sm!! its so cathartic, especially as im older and much more curated in my selection of books. like i don't really buy books anymore, libraries are elite!! also miss youu 💛 hope all is well in your corner of the world :))
This is exactly why, for me, transitioning to an e-reader has been a forever game changer as a mood reader. I used to carefully pick physical books because foreign books from SEA regions are so damn expensive but even with this, I still get disinterested fairly quick so for practicality (financial and space wise), I just donated all of them and only kept 1 book lol
Omg when you said dead name I was confused for a second. I’ve been following you for years! You are so completely Ellias that I totally forgot. Much love to you! ❤
There's no better motivator to unhauling than imagining the sheer amount of books you'd have to pack up if you ever have to move 😅 Excellent unhaul! Also, I noticed The Books of Babel behind you. Love to see it!
I still remember when you got your billy bookshelves and were excited to fill them up so this is very fun to see, you’ve come a long way :’) Always, always appreciate your honesty!
I love how Warcross didn't need a summary because everyone knows about it 🤣 I feel like I'm having flashbacks to Booktube circa 2012-2017. What a time to be alive.
honestly rewatching this even after edits there are still more books i want to get rid of!! rn i only want the basics and my favorites....nothing else lol.
Love a good unhaul! When I moved, I had 171 boxes of books. We literally moved 171 boxes of books! So crazy to think about. I think we’re in our forever home, so no more moving, but honestly, I would move them again if I had to, because I’m an insane person lol
OMG! The way I really understand you in the Colleen Hoover ERA you were in..this is so relatable istg. I remember buying all her books in 2019 when I first started reading and ISTG I GAVE LIKE ALL HER BOOKS 4 AND 5 STARS!! The Malak(my name) I am today really want to reread all her books with my new age and perspectives in life. I just know that her books and writing style really won't get along with me..😂😂 I'll never get over how I once upon a time said that "Colleen Hoover is my forever favorite author." After i have read from other authors that can actually write...omg... I realized how young and a beginner I was.😂🤌🏽
Oh! It's such a personal pain to me that you unhauled Fredrik Backman books💔🙃 I mean I just love them very much (currently reading the grandma one) not that you were wrong in any way! And yeah a move with that amount of books must be hellish
Emergency Contact is the one that caught my attention first in this video. I won't continue with The Truly Devious series, especially the fact that there were more books in the series and Truly Devious was meh. I remember Joce (squibblesreads) pointed out that you liked Warcross and I remember how much you love it back then. I didn't like Sadie as a dark contemporary/thriller. I like Shadow & Bone more than Six Of Crows. I 💞 Verity. I don't think I am one of those girlies. 🤣
7:30 minute...those are a trilogy HARDCOVERS you had them in college? 😮... I had library card😂 ...I am curating my library now so I know what I pay for HC. Wish was that lucky I would habe 2000 books at home by now.
Yoooo do you need somewhere to offload the Six of Crows duology? 👀Real talk, I need to clean up my book collection. I know I have some I bought, but haven't actually read yet.
@@ellias kindle not the same thing, if you don’t have a physical copy you really don’t own it….good luck, but you can’t shake the book monkey of your back..
This is why I utilized my local library. I can borrow books and decide if I absolutely LOVE it, then I'll go out and purchase a physical copy, otherwise I'll return it and it won't sit on my shelf. 🤣
my motto from now on honestly!!!!
Currently obsessed with unhauling videos, they're so satisfying
Me too!
Yes! I’m loving these videos
literally after uploading this i looked at my bookshelf and want to unhaul more books again lol
Same I looooove

i truly believe the kindle spoiled books for in general now haha

OG LETS GOOOO IYKYK!!!! but glad you're still here
I did this about 9 years ago, I’m now regretting it and accumulating all of my books back to share with my children as they age.
i definitely will keep my childhood favorites but getting rid of books i will no longer read or like :)
There's no better motivator to unhauling than imagining the sheer amount of books you'd have to pack up if you ever have to move 😅 Excellent unhaul!
Also, I noticed The Books of Babel behind you. Love to see it!
it was much needed for the move and now post move i still want to get rid of more books lol
I still remember when you got your billy bookshelves and were excited to fill them up so this is very fun to see, you’ve come a long way :’) Always, always appreciate your honesty!
omgg you're an og; that was ages agooo 😭
I love how Warcross didn't need a summary because everyone knows about it 🤣
I feel like I'm having flashbacks to Booktube circa 2012-2017. What a time to be alive.
WHAT A TIME i remember when it was literally all the craze esp when we were in line for the arc at book expo
Great video! Six of Crows though... And signed too! That broke me - especially since I love this duology and don't own the books.
yeah i still have them! since they're signed i figured i might as well keep them or sell them in the future haha
@@ellias my collector's heart rejoices, haha
I felt sooo much lighter just watching this! An unhaul is always good for the soul!
honestly rewatching this even after edits there are still more books i want to get rid of!! rn i only want the basics and my favorites....nothing else lol.
Channeling Marie Kondo ✨✨✨
the blueprinttttt
having the original shadow and Bone books and giving them away is crazy only because they sell for SO much, you could make bank if you wanted to
NO WAY I WISH I KEPT THE TRILOGY LMAOO

171 OMFG HOW!! how many books was that lmao
Insane. Haahah a lot of the book you removing are ones I read because of you and absolutely loved. Great video
we love growth and development :))
Love your vibe!! My Kindle + Libby spoiled me for buying any books.
I just got rid of a bunch of books before I went on vacation. Love you’re videos as always 😊
thank youuu
@@ellias welcome
six of crows duology signed?? that one got a little kick to it
more than a kick since she's also personalized hmmhmm
Oh my gosh, I remember buying Famous Last Words at a book fair in high school, I was obsessed!
omg finally someone else who has read it!!
OMG! The way I really understand you in the Colleen Hoover ERA you were in..this is so relatable istg.

After i have read from other authors that can actually write...omg... I realized how young and a beginner I was.😂🤌🏽
god what a time tho righhtt??? like its called GROWTH!!! haha
I wish I would live near your little library 😭😭
trust me i handed all the good books to the local library and only added romance books to the little library haha
those hardcover grishaverse books 😭😍
IM SO MAD i could have sold them lol
Owning Tana French books and not reading them is so valid. I should probably donate mine tbh
i literally got them all at a used bookstore and just.....never picked them up so back they go lol
20:14 that was a jumpscare full picture at the back of the book 😂
trust me i was not prepared
I love my books but moving is no joke. I do a lot of my reading on my ereader now. I don't really want to get another bookcase
i read most of my books on my kindle now
minimalist king
Love an unhaul!
ALWAYS
Ellias !!! Hope you’re doing well 💖 also ur outfit is so good
thank youu bb
I really like that you don’t keep things only because someone else thinks you should!
i kept most of them for sentimental purposes but time to let em gooo
omg so glad you said uk thrillers don’t stand out to you bc i feel the same but everyone seems to love them? i find them boring and way too long
MYONNNAAAAA WTF HI GIRL WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN???? why am i finding out this new channel????
@@ellias yess i started a new channel because i wanted a fresh start
That Harlan Coben author picture on the back cover is so funny, also his name looks huge on the front cover.
like why so big and the ENTIRE back cover???
Is it okay to ask why you changed your name?
I thought ellias suited me more than Brandon and thought it was a perfect time to change when I officially came out to my mom
I also got rid of the grisharverse books recently!
apparently those hardcovers sell for a lot 👀
The signed six of crows duology let-go was painful even for me 😭
i kept them sighhhh bc they're also personalized lol
hahahahaha what is THAT edition of twilight omfg
lol I have it and never finished it
a big door stopper tbh
THE LUNAR CHRONICLES, THE RAVEN BOYS AND PJO SURVIVED YAYYYYYUH
the lunar chronicles unfortunately did not survive the first three moves haha i got rid of them first
@@ellias yeah I figured that out later 😭😭
but hey! Atleast trc is still there!!!
A Discovery Of Witches is my favourite book EVER!!!!!
The Southern Bookclub’s Guide To Slaying Vampires is good too!
the show was soooo good, i love it
Oh! It's such a personal pain to me that you unhauled Fredrik Backman books💔🙃 I mean I just love them very much (currently reading the grandma one) not that you were wrong in any way! And yeah a move with that amount of books must be hellish
perhaps one day ill read them from the library since they're pretty popular!
harlan coban (cobin?) jumpscare has me cackling
i was not expecting a white staring right back at me so sudden haha
Ugh I’m in the process of moving and I didn’t realize just how many books I actually have.
good luck with your move!
SEND THEM THIS WAY, ELLIAS! 😎📚👍
I WISH HAHA
Emergency Contact is the one that caught my attention first in this video.
I won't continue with The Truly Devious series, especially the fact that there were more books in the series and Truly Devious was meh.
I remember Joce (squibblesreads) pointed out that you liked Warcross and I remember how much you love it back then.
I didn't like Sadie as a dark contemporary/thriller.
I like Shadow & Bone more than Six Of Crows.
I 💞 Verity. I don't think I am one of those girlies. 🤣
omg joce shoutout wow you are the OG haha
god verity killed me fuck that book lol
the authors portrait on the back of the book cover is so strange! i cant imagine readjng it jn public haha
i think this is the only author ive seen like this lol
7:30 minute...those are a trilogy HARDCOVERS you had them in college? 😮... I had library card😂
...I am curating my library now so I know what I pay for HC. Wish was that lucky I would habe 2000 books at home by now.
yeah a lot of the books ive brought with me from home home and now its time to let them go haha
When I unhaul I do 3⭐️ and lower are out and 3.5 and up rated stay then I do that every 6 months
this is a good system
came here to make sure dark rise wasn't here
lol i liked it! still need to read the sequel
Wouldn't Cindy love the Crows duology?
i think she has copies?
Yoooo do you need somewhere to offload the Six of Crows duology? 👀Real talk, I need to clean up my book collection. I know I have some I bought, but haven't actually read yet.
i ended up keeping them for now bc they're not just signed but personalized too sighhhhhh
We are doing yearly a campaign of having books to built a national libraries in the world wild, if you are interested about supporting us, we chat.
SOC NOOOOOOO
YESSSSSSSS (jk i ended up keeping them lol)
@@ellias lmaooo that's the power of soc for you :)
The Darkling and Alina shipper/stans are terrifying. Literal genocidal maniac apologists😂. I regret reading grisha trilogy so much. It was so mid
oh god they were maniac on twitter and in the comments when cindy and i were reactingg to the show it was insane no thank you
So, all this time you had Colleen Hoover books in the background of your videos 😳
yep i read most of her books before tiktok was a thing and used to love them until i knew better and that's on growth!!
@@ellias that's what life's about, learning from our mistakes and growing
elias don't give up 'daytripper' by the Ba brothers...you might like it :)
😭
Please don’t get rid of Grady Hendrix’s books 😢. Please try one of his better novels before giving up on him. He is so good at horror
ill check out his books at the library and we'll see:)
Whatever number of books you get rid off….you will replace with other books. Trust me
haha yes you're right.....replaced on my kindle!!!
@@ellias kindle not the same thing, if you don’t have a physical copy you really don’t own it….good luck, but you can’t shake the book monkey of your back..
@@johnnythepillpopper1974weird scaremongering...download your kindle books and use calibre to convert them to other formats. they belong to you
I was so disappointed by Burn our bodies down too 🥹
the only book i read from rory powers lol
I am going to add you as a friend in Goodreads, will you accept my invitation ?
