What a beautiful bookcase! I need something like that to keep my books dust-free & nice & bright. I'm new here, & am doing a purge of my own, so getting inspiration from others lol. You have some gorgeous editions! XD NB - The Witcher books are fantastic. Sapkowski is one of my favourite authors.
I literally watched your other book purges yesterday and was wondering when the next one was going to come out😂 Literally the perfect thing to put on when tidying 👌
Goodness, Alice, even your book purges are gorgeous, beautiful, and soothing! 😀❤️ As I’ve mentioned in comments on other posts, I’ve been buying physical books like crazy this summer, and find myself in the predicament of having nowhere to shelve them without either winnowing my current collection or buying a new bookcase. This may be just the inspiration I need to let go of some books. Even ones with beautiful covers. 😟😉 One of the books you got rid of, a title by Mick Herron, is written by a former colleague of mine. I say a former colleague, but when he worked at our company, it was over 30,000 people and he was in an office in the UK, I believe, while I am in the US, so I didn’t know him, just of him. 😀
On Thursday it was 30 degrees and today it’s around 25 (the same temp in my apartment) so I am surprised to see you wearing a winter sweater already ! I have Foreign Soil on my TBR and I know it’s good. As for the purge, loved it. I do keep an open bag all the time and put the books in it after I read them. Now the bag is full. I am about to clean up and sort out all my apartment (I do this twice a year)and I will unhaul books for sure. Have a nice Sunday !
Great book purge, Alice! OH! You MUST read The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie! I am a huge Flavia de Luce fan- they are so fun, so good- cozy and funny. I think they're going to be making them into a tv series...
You have the coolest collection ever! Felt same way about The Vegetarian. I picked it up seeing a lot of hype, but didn't really got beyond first 30 pages or so. (Dumb question, so apologies up front) What do you do with books you purge? I mean do you give them to charity or friends/family or local library...? Interesting review about The Confessions of Frannie Langton. Have it on my Scribd downloads. Will look for and go through your your review and decide if it's worth giving it a go. Came across the world of Andre Norton and decided to give Forerunner series a go. She has been big on my list (along with other notable names in fantasy/sci-fi world like Mercedes Lackey, Michael Moorcock, Marion Bradley, Lionel Fanthorpe, Piers Anthony, Harry Turtledove, Brian Aldiss) for a while. 🙂
Thank you! :) Not a dumb question at all! Once or twice a year there's a local school where I live that arranges a flea market to raise money for their after school programs, so I'll usually give the books to them. I'll also sometimes go to a local recycling centre where people can donate books, clothes, furniture etc and other people can come get it for free :)
@@TheBookCastle : That is such a noble way of purging the books. For every book there is a reader. 🙂👍 If I ever part with books on my shelf, that'd be the way I'd like to do it. Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
Love a book purge! Awww I absolutely loved The Bone People, but I can totally see why you found it difficult to get into - the writing style can put people off I think and it deals later on with some pretty dark subject matter. I couldn’t finish The Vegetarian, just wasn’t into it - and I keep seeing The Toymakers in your vids and I’m so wary for you because I was bored out of my mind and ended up skim reading it just because I was craving a Christmassy book last year 🤦♀️ hope you enjoy it more than me when you get round to it!
Lovely video. I am a New Zealander, and The Bone People by Keri Hume is a national novel that lots of Nzers know. I studied it at university, and to be honest with you, we have some better pieces of literature. It is tough to read, albeit important ideas.
@@TheBookCastle Thank you for replying ! o you happen to remember which edition ia was specifically or have the ISBN ? There are many different editions with that cover.
does Norway have a second hand online bookshop btw? I'm just wondering because I recently bought Swedish books on a Swedish second-hand sort of ebay for books. I'm still struggling to find a way to get Norwegian books that doesn't cost me £50 per book haha I tried to find some of the books you recommended but I couldn't afford them :D
The only one I know of and use is Bookis, but I don't know if they ship internationally :O You can contact sellers on there though and maybe they'd be up for sending them to you where you are :D
I've never seen that edition of The Vegetarian. It's beautiful. Too bad the book is not good. I quite hated it myself. But I liked Human Acts since that is a book more along my interests, being a book about the student rebellion in South Korea.
@@willlexie I'll consider it, but to be honest I'll probably just donate them in the future too :) I understand some of you would love to get the books, but organising, packaging and sending stuff off to so many people will probably be a bit too much for me. Sorry!

Whether its long or mini your book purges remain my favorite to watch! :D
Thank you so much! :D
You've got such a beautiful collection of books! 😍
Thank you so much
Looove your channels book purges. I really like the way you take the camera with you at every shelf, it almost feels like we're there 😂
Yay, I'm glad you think so
It's such a bummer when the book sucks but the cover is beautiful.
The struggle is real with those books xD
I feel ya 😩

Good timing then! :D
This has inspired me to scan through my shelves and have a purge of my own! I always feel so much better after doing one
It's very refreshing, isn't it! :D
I LOVE BOOKS PURGE
Thank you!

Honestly, it was very warm with that sweater on but I just wanted to wear it xD Hope you have a great Sunday too
Can you tell us how much do you spend in a year on books? :)
Great book purge, Alice! OH! You MUST read The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie! I am a huge Flavia de Luce fan- they are so fun, so good- cozy and funny. I think they're going to be making them into a tv series...
Thank you! And yes, I really need to read it, I've had it for ages!
I was just going to say the same! Love Flavia!
Would love to read your interesting books am so interested really like style of books to read
I read the Jeanette Winterson book you mentioned for uni and it was too weird for me. So I’m glad it’s not just me 😂
We're in the same boat with that one xD
What I did to make room in my bookshelves, was put all my cookbooks in the kitchen.
Clever! I wish I could do that but my kitchen and livingroom are the same room so there's no space xD
this is always so relaxing to watch ^^
Thank you! :D
Such a beautiful collection of books! :)
Thank you!

love purges!
I’ve been purging a bit myself, so this is quite inspiring 👌
Yay :D
That was fun to watch.
Thanks
Glad you liked it! :D
How are your book organized? By genre or name? Or color? I couldn't tell. Love to see an organization video
It's not really organised by anything in particular :)
Lovely video. I am a New Zealander, and The Bone People by Keri Hume is a national novel that lots of Nzers know. I studied it at university, and to be honest with you, we have some better pieces of literature. It is tough to read, albeit important ideas.
That's good to know! If you have any recommendations for other books, I'd love to know!
Where did you get the black edition of the Starless Sea?
Ordered it from Book Depository! :)
@@TheBookCastle Thank you for replying ! o you happen to remember which edition ia was specifically or have the ISBN ? There are many different editions with that cover.
@@gracie9658 I'm pretty sure 9780385545365 is the ISBN :)
@@TheBookCastle Wow thank you so much for taking the time to answer. Have a lovely week 😊
The us edition are the black cover. I think the uk edition (blue cover) is better.
does Norway have a second hand online bookshop btw? I'm just wondering because I recently bought Swedish books on a Swedish second-hand sort of ebay for books.

I love your vidos❤️
Thank you!
I've never seen that edition of The Vegetarian. It's beautiful. Too bad the book is not good. I quite hated it myself. But I liked Human Acts since that is a book more along my interests, being a book about the student rebellion in South Korea.
Ooh, Human Acts sounds way more interesting! :D
Can international viewers buy your purged books?
Maybe still can use the money for donation.
*just asking
I've already donated all the books :)
The Book Castle It’s okayy... Maybe for the next big purge? :’)
@@willlexie I'll consider it, but to be honest I'll probably just donate them in the future too :) I understand some of you would love to get the books, but organising, packaging and sending stuff off to so many people will probably be a bit too much for me. Sorry!
