Hope you guys enjoy today's video! To clarify: as many commenters have pointed out, Marie said she personally owns 30 books but encourages people to only keep books that spark joy for them. The purpose of this video was to try and help others to see that she's not bashing reading at all! She's just encouraging you to take a second look at what your have in your collection and if you really want to keep it. I hope this makes sense!
I'm about to receive a copy of the Little Prince that has been printed on a machine more than 100 years old. They only made 250 copies and my name would be in it because I gave money for them to restore the printing machine that they used to print it. I can't wait. I've been waiting for it for 1,5 years but finally it's ready and they will start shipping out the copies next month. It will be one of my most prized possessions.
Love the idea ;) she actually just Said that she owned 30, and that's fine for her but that anyone should own all the books that "spark Joy" for them ;)
This was hard but probably go with novels that I love re-reading 1 War and Peace 2 Pride and Prejudice 3 Picture of Dorian Grey 4 Jane Eyre 5 And then there were None 6 Death on the Nile 7 Rebecca 8 Testament of Youth 9 Dune 10 Good Omens 11 Absolute Sandman 12 V for Vendetta 13 Great Gatsby 14 To Kill a Mockingbird 15 Complete Poetry Poe 16 Frankenstein 17 IT 18 The Stand 19 Maus 20 The Golden Compass 21 Lion Witch and Wardrobe 22 The Hobbit 23 Mistborn 24 Name of the Wind 25 The Bad Beginning 26 The Witches (Dahl) 27 HP Half Blood Prince 28 The Book Thief 29 The Bronze Horseman 30 1984
ICaughtTheSnitch26 i found it funny as well that those who reacted strongly and negatively about Marie Kondo are those who haven’t read the book or watched the series. The series was basically a summary of the book. And not a good one at that. There were so many tiny details that I found really important that weren’t mentioned or explained in the series at all!
I actually did do an unhaul after watching Marie Kondo on Netflix and it’s all about “does this make me happy” if not you would unhaul it. It’s the same method applied to clothes. And she does talk about doing a sentimental unhaul but it’s done separately because it’s so emotional and much harder to do. It’s basically organizing your space to make you happier.
She actually just said that's about how many she has... it wasn't ever meant to be a suggestion for others but it's everywhere now... 😔 lol she's just not obsessed w/books. I mean I've met people who think even 1 physical book isn't necessary 😉📚📚 me, I'm building that personal library!
Kelsey Myers I don’t think reading is not her thing, but the climate and space in homes in Asia is very limited/bad for books. That’s her main reason to not have too many books but the ones she really treasures. I think she mentioned that in an article when this meme started to blow out of proportion.
Kelsey Myers like in any situation, to each their own right?! Regardless of what # she may or may not have chosen, she also is consistent about her “if it doesn’t start joy, throw it out!” concept! For book lovers, each every and any book sparks joy! Also like Twinkie said, the space situation in Asian countries can dictate style trends. A library might be the last thing they need or want, but I’m like you! I’ll lug 50 boxes of books w/me every time I move, my own library (a la Beauty and the Beast) in mind!
Kelsey Myers and you still would be surprised how much they can store in such a small space 😂 that is why guru’s like Marie Kondo became so big in recent years as hoarding stuff is a serious issue in Asia.
No no no, she said she personally likes to keep 30 books. Not that people should own no more than 30 books. She said you shouldnt get rid of books if it makes you unhappy.
Marie kondo wants you to think about whether you want to keep something because you like it or it has a use for you OR if you are just afraid of feeling guilty after letting something go. I say this because the marie kondo method is often confused woth minimalism but it's not. It's about feeling comfortable with the amount of stuff you have and appreciate and cherish your possesions. Also she wants to convey that maybe someone else will have much more use or joy for that one item you give away. So you are not throwing things out but give it a new chance to become important to someone else. I don't think 30 is an attainable amount of books for book fanatics, but for the regular person it totally can be. And the important aspect is that it's not a must if you cherish and love all your 300 books so be it.

The KonMari method completely changed my life. It was so liberating getting rid of a bunch of things I held on to that meant absolutely nothing to me. It was shocking to my family and some of my friends that I was throwing away so much, but I really don’t miss anything and I transformed into a much more organized person. Loved the video! ❤️

Congrats on 200k! I think it would be hard for me to pick 30! Some I’m sure of but as those numbers dwindle down to the last few books it would be hard!
hey hailey i love your videos and u inspire me to continue reading!! i can’t wait to read ur books that hopefully get published this year!!❤️ btw i’m a canadian too aye!!🇨🇦
I watched one episode of "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo" and I ended up clearing out 75% of my wardrobe, but that's mainly because that much doesn't fit me anymore. Since I have less than 30 favorite books, this wouldn't be hard for me. I just have a large TBR.
CONGRATS ON 200K!!!! I appreciate all of your hard work 😘💗 This was an intriguing video and I’d like to go through my books now and see what I’d keep 😅
I'm really happy Marie's influence is getting recognized. If only we could protect her from the backlash.. Her methods have changed my life drastically, I'm a pretty sentimental person but I was able to let go of so many things in life. I realize I get overwhelmed with clutter, now I'm trying to practice minimalism, and I couldnt be more happy. People should not take her words too critically, as she was just implying ways for us to declutter our lives, which is a must.
Love this video! So creative. I absolutely enjoyed it. Also I read The Nightingale coz u wudn’t stop talking about it and guess what...it is now one of my fav books of all time. And...I would love to dive into more of historical fiction now after reading this book. So thank u for the rec ❤️
I love this idea!! Now I'm just staring at my shelves thinking about which ones I REALLY would keep if I had to get rid of a bunch of them. It's fun to think about!!
Congrats Hailey on 200k!!! Also this was a really creative take on the whole debate :D You had some awesome picks! The strange and beautiful sorrows of ava lavender is one I want to read soon cuz I've heard nothing but good things about it.
I have that exact copy of A Midsummer Night’s Dream! I love it. Oh I need to read Fall of Giants! Have you read his Kingsbridge series?? So good. Great video idea! Jessica
This is so amazing for you to do all of these videos, i am really into your videos i have so many books that i want to buy because of you!! I love every single one of your videos and i watch them all the time - some m ore than once, your my favourite booktuber and i wanted to wish you all the best because i could never be as confident at setting up a channel than you are XXXX
I’m not doing this in order of my favorite books. But here are my 30 1. The summer I turned pretty. 2. The siren. 3. Always and forever Lara Jean. 4. Royals. 5. Shuffle repeat. 6. Once upon a dream. 7. As old as time. 8. OCD love story. 9. Simon Vs the Homo sapiens agenda 10. Love life and the list. 11. Listen to your heart. 12.always never yours. 13. The fault in our stars. 14. Midnight sun. 15. Everyday. 16. Words in deep blue. 17. Ali’s pretty little lies. 18. Entwined. 19. If I stay. 20. Everything everything. 21. Rotten apple. 22.

My teenage beating heart. 30. 13 reasons why.
I read The Book Thief by Markus Zusak in 2017 cuz of you would always talk about it (but I’ve been watching you way before 2017 though) then I met him a couple of months ago before the release of Bridge of Clay and he signed my books. I was soooo happy cuz he’s my favorite author now and it’s honestly all cuz of you!!!! Thanks Hailey💖
Now it’s my mission to read The Nightingale cuz you keep talking about that one. It’s a shame cuz I have it but I’ve just been reading other books😭😭😭 but I’m reading it in February definitely!
The only books I keep are graphic novels that I loved and I collect different versions of Harry Potter. I get rid of everything else once I've read them because I never read books again. HP being the exception.
Hailey, I know Im a little late in commenting but I really hope you read this. You NEED to read the Handmaid's Tale. Its gripping, terrifying, and sad in all the best ways but most importantly it is SO important that people understand the message Atwood is writing as a fellow Canadian, and woman. I promise you'll LOVE it! Put down everything and start reading it TODAY!!!!

When I turned on my phone after reading Heartless after you reccomeded it in one of your videos, both you and Emma from emmabooks had uploaded! Lemme tell you, it was SUCH a hard choice.
Wow such a cool video idea! Wanted to tell you though, that there is an editing mistake just before you talk about radio silence, the strange and beautiful sorrows of Ava Lavender pops in right there but you end up actually talking about it lastly... Of course it is not a great problem for anyone watching but thought you might wanna know
I only have about 60 books on my shelf and all are sentimental to me or to be read. I only keep books on my shelf after I’ve read them if I love them and they have sentimental value. All others get donated so others can read too.
The Fault in Our Stars is the first book that got me to love reading again in highschool. It is so dear to me because if I had never picked it up I probably wouldn’t be as big of a reader as I am now! 😍
Oh Ken Follett... I'm looking at the copy of Pillars of the Earth above my head in the headboard bookcase. My dad lent it to me and I still haven't read it.
I know what you mean Hailey. I have a lot of books that have sentimental value for me. I just can't get rid of them.😍 On a side note, I want to ask you a question. I read the book, "Looking for Alaska" and I don't understand that book. I understand what happened in the book but not in an in depth way. Can you explain this book to me please? I would really appreciate it
I did that years ago. I got rid of all my books except for a few. I only read digital now. Well, except manga, because there's no easy way to get digital manga in Spanish =/
I HIGHLY recommend you check out Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance. It's magical realism like Ava Lavender. And It was beautifully written. Not sponsored, just really loved it! ❤
Question: Are you in school or do you have your own apartment or do you live with your family or something else? I'm just wondering where booktubers keep all those shelves of books...jealous bc I don't have room in my college apartment
My 30 books are: 1: Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy 2: The Resturant at the End of the Universe 3: Life, the Universe, and Everything 4: So Long and Thanks for all the Fish 5: Bridge to Terabithia 6: The Lovely Bones 7: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 8: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 9: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince 10: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 11: Wintergirls 12: I am not a Serial Killer 13: Fangirl 14: Sleeping Giants 15: The Knife of Never Letting Go 16: The Ask and the Answer 17: Monsters of Men 18: Lord of the Flies 19: Hamlet 20: Macbeth 21: Virals 22: The Woman in the Window 23: Angels and Demons 24: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (BECAUSE I FIND IT VERY VERY VERY AMUSING - ITS STILL NOT CANON) 25: Release 26: The Casual Vacancy 27: Aristotle and Dante 28: The Frood 29: Turtles all the way Down 30: The Famous Five - Five on Treasure Island This list is not necessarily my top 30 favourite books, instead, I took the 'deserted island' approach and have tried to choose books from lots of different genres.
to be honest am a collector an when I receive some cash wealth now I want do a big libery home one for learning so on the book keeping part is something u can pass on to kids nice's or nephews 😊
I only have about 70-100 books, but even I would find it so hard to only keep 30. Even my Harry Potter books would take up 1/3 of 30, including my Cursed Child, Fantastic Beasts movie script and 20th anniversary edition. The Cursed Child sucks and I'd never read the movie script of FB, but both books are just so pretty and I wouldn't have the heart to get rid of them especially with the added factor of collecting all HP books.
If you're interested in new authors check out "A Glimpse Beyond The Aether " (What happens when we die) and "Breaching The Sentry" (Can we change the past?).Syfy/romance.
30 books for me - that would be impossible, because I'd have to keep the 30 books that I have personally signed by authors; but then there are other books by other authors that I love that haven't been signed and I couldn't keep them under this method. I guess the positive is, I did unhaul some books last year - still waiting to sell them, at market or ebay or whatever - but they're not on my bookshelf taking up space anymore!!
If you like paranormal set in the twenties New York you should check out the Timeless duology by Alexandra Monir. The first has amazing descriptions of New York in the Tens, Twenties, and Thirties. I think you'd like it!!
I get rid of almost everything I read unless it’s 4.5 stars or more. If I didn’t have my good reads where I can shelf and review everything I have read, I think I would have a harder time getting rid of books. For some reason having the proof and my thoughts on every book, makes it manageable to toss most things I won’t read again.

30 different copies of Alice
So trueee
what a waste of time
LOL
I saw the title and my first thought was 30 Alice in Wonderlands
I'm about to receive a copy of the Little Prince that has been printed on a machine more than 100 years old. They only made 250 copies and my name would be in it because I gave money for them to restore the printing machine that they used to print it. I can't wait.

All my books fall under the sentimental category XD
Love the idea ;) she actually just Said that she owned 30, and that's fine for her but that anyone should own all the books that "spark Joy" for them ;)
This was hard but probably go with novels that I love re-reading
1 War and Peace
2 Pride and Prejudice
3 Picture of Dorian Grey
4 Jane Eyre
5 And then there were None
6 Death on the Nile
7 Rebecca
8 Testament of Youth
9 Dune
10 Good Omens
11 Absolute Sandman
12 V for Vendetta
13 Great Gatsby

That's such a great list! Good mix of genres.
You deserve every single subscriber, Hailey! I love you and your videos; they make me so happy!
Marie said she PERSONALLY owns 30 books, yet some people took it as "only own 30 books" so there was a misunderstanding 😂
Exactly 🤓
NO ONE ON BOOKTUBE READ THE ACTUAL BOOK. Honestly though, I have seen at least 3 people on booktube take this out of context. 😑
ICaughtTheSnitch26 i found it funny as well that those who reacted strongly and negatively about Marie Kondo are those who haven’t read the book or watched the series. The series was basically a summary of the book. And not a good one at that. There were so many tiny details that I found really important that weren’t mentioned or explained in the series at all!
wellread misty exactly. Didn’t read the book. Didn’t watch the show. Didn’t try to research facts. Got offended.
Haha I love that you would keep 7 copies of Alice even though you only have 30 books to keep - honestly respect for your dedication to that book
I think it’s cool to wonder which books you would keep. It really shows which books have impacted you.
I actually did do an unhaul after watching Marie Kondo on Netflix and it’s all about “does this make me happy” if not you would unhaul it. It’s the same method applied to clothes.

Congratulatons on reaching 200K subscribers. Keep up the great work!
Congrats on 200k! I think it would be hard for me to pick 30! Some I’m sure of but as those numbers dwindle down to the last few books it would be hard!
hey hailey i love your videos and u inspire me to continue reading!! i can’t wait to read ur books that hopefully get published this year!!❤️ btw i’m a canadian too aye!!🇨🇦
I watched one episode of "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo" and I ended up clearing out 75% of my wardrobe, but that's mainly because that much doesn't fit me anymore.
Since I have less than 30 favorite books, this wouldn't be hard for me. I just have a large TBR.
@Shelvesfullofbooks I didn't have much of a choice 😂
I did the exact same thing with my wardrobe after two episodes of the show.
congrats on 200k, you deserve them so much 💓
loved this video as usual x
CONGRATS ON 200K!!!! I appreciate all of your hard work 😘💗 This was an intriguing video and I’d like to go through my books now and see what I’d keep 😅
Oh no! Winger isn’t on there, lol. I’m currently reading it due to your recommendation and I’m absolutely LOVING it.
Congrats on 200k!!!! I love you Hailey!!!
6:50 Anyone else automatically think of Aria’s mother from Pretty Little Liars every time she says “Ella Montgomery”? Just me?
Ok
I started laughing when I saw the title 😂😂😂 Marie Kondo is blowing up!
Jana .dlink Absolutely 😂
I'm really happy Marie's influence is getting recognized. If only we could protect her from the backlash.. Her methods have changed my life drastically, I'm a pretty sentimental person but I was able to let go of so many things in life. I realize I get overwhelmed with clutter, now I'm trying to practice minimalism, and I couldnt be more happy. People should not take her words too critically, as she was just implying ways for us to declutter our lives, which is a must.
Love this video! So creative. I absolutely enjoyed it. Also I read The Nightingale coz u wudn’t stop talking about it and guess what...it is now one of my fav books of all time. And...I would love to dive into more of historical fiction now after reading this book. So thank u for the rec ❤️
Loved the concept of this video! It’s super interesting to think about☺️
I love this idea!! Now I'm just staring at my shelves thinking about which ones I REALLY would keep if I had to get rid of a bunch of them. It's fun to think about!!
I feel the same way about the little prince! Every summer I pick one night and read it in one sitting and then cry and it's just a really good time
I love your list. I'm glad I do not have to declutter this many books. Greetings from The Netherlands ;-)
What a cool video concept! I could easily see this being a tag.
Congrats Hailey on 200k!!! Also this was a really creative take on the whole debate :D You had some awesome picks! The strange and beautiful sorrows of ava lavender is one I want to read soon cuz I've heard nothing but good things about it.
I have that exact copy of A Midsummer Night’s Dream! I love it.
Oh I need to read Fall of Giants! Have you read his Kingsbridge series?? So good.
Great video idea!
Jessica
Congratulations on 200k !
This was such a fun video 💕☺️
I just finished The Upside of Unrequited! I'd never read a Becky albertalli book before that but I enjoyed it. I really want to read Radio Silence.
Did my phone glitch or did you talk about Ava lavender before radio silence?
that is what I thought too
I think she probably thought of something before that one and the editing got messed up.
I loved this video topic - definitely made me start thinking about which books I would keep if I was limiting myself to a certain number like thirty.

I read The Book Thief by Markus Zusak in 2017 cuz of you would always talk about it (but I’ve been watching you way before 2017 though) then I met him a couple of months ago before the release of Bridge of Clay and he signed my books. I was soooo happy cuz he’s my favorite author now and it’s honestly all cuz of you!!!! Thanks Hailey💖
Now it’s my mission to read The Nightingale cuz you keep talking about that one. It’s a shame cuz I have it but I’ve just been reading other books😭😭😭 but I’m reading it in February definitely!
The only books I keep are graphic novels that I loved and I collect different versions of Harry Potter. I get rid of everything else once I've read them because I never read books again. HP being the exception.
I loved this idea. So proud of you for always pushing forward.
You reminded me that I have looking for Alaska and now I’m craving it. Thanks for reminding me. I love your videos
Hailey, I know Im a little late in commenting but I really hope you read this. You NEED to read the Handmaid's Tale. Its gripping, terrifying, and sad in all the best ways but most importantly it is SO important that people understand the message Atwood is writing as a fellow Canadian, and woman. I promise you'll LOVE it! Put down everything and start reading it TODAY!!!!

I love the Handmaid's tale's cover so much! 😍
I can't believe I almost forgot King of Scars is coming out on Thursday!! How could I ever forget that my Writing Queen publishes a new book??!!
I know this video is two years old but I still wanted to say your hair looks really great in this!
I really enjoyed this video! Some of those covers are beautiful!
When I turned on my phone after reading Heartless after you reccomeded it in one of your videos, both you and Emma from emmabooks had uploaded! Lemme tell you, it was SUCH a hard choice.
"email!"
You're adorable I love you
You put in a lot of work in these videos you deserve every sub you get :) ❤️
Oooohhhh the nightingale 💕 I honestly think about that book at least once a day!
Wow such a cool video idea! Wanted to tell you though, that there is an editing mistake just before you talk about radio silence, the strange and beautiful sorrows of Ava Lavender pops in right there but you end up actually talking about it lastly... Of course it is not a great problem for anyone watching but thought you might wanna know
I only have about 60 books on my shelf and all are sentimental to me or to be read. I only keep books on my shelf after I’ve read them if I love them and they have sentimental value. All others get donated so others can read too.
Plz continue reading vlogs. I love them so much!🎆🎉✨
The Fault in Our Stars is the first book that got me to love reading again in highschool. It is so dear to me because if I had never picked it up I probably wouldn’t be as big of a reader as I am now! 😍
Always love watching your videos and hearing your thoughts
Oh Ken Follett... I'm looking at the copy of Pillars of the Earth above my head in the headboard bookcase. My dad lent it to me and I still haven't read it.
🎉Congratulations hailey 🎉 i hope u gain more and more subscribers cause u deserve it girl
Congrats on 200K! 💚💚
I know what you mean Hailey. I have a lot of books that have sentimental value for me. I just can't get rid of them.😍
On a side note, I want to ask you a question. I read the book, "Looking for Alaska" and I don't understand that book. I understand what happened in the book but not in an in depth way. Can you explain this book to me please? I would really appreciate it
I did that years ago. I got rid of all my books except for a few. I only read digital now.
Well, except manga, because there's no easy way to get digital manga in Spanish =/
the fault in our stars is also what got me in to reading and i am so grateful
“This is another story that I feel like is important to me because- EMAIL!” I died laughing at that....
Hailey *picks up Radio Silence*
Me: did I just teleport to a Kat’s video? 🧐
I HIGHLY recommend you check out Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance. It's magical realism like Ava Lavender. And It was beautifully written. Not sponsored, just really loved it! ❤
Congrats on the 200k!!!! ⭐️🥳
I bought this box of puffin in bloom it's so cute. 💚
I only have a few. Maybe at least around 70 or 80? Not including e-books and audiobooks.
This is such a fun concept!
just ordered heartless! can't wait to read it :)
All the books are looking fabulous
Question: Are you in school or do you have your own apartment or do you live with your family or something else? I'm just wondering where booktubers keep all those shelves of books...jealous bc I don't have room in my college apartment
I LOVE that edition of Anne of Green Gables!!
Congrats on 200K!

This list is not necessarily my top 30 favourite books, instead, I took the 'deserted island' approach and have tried to choose books from lots of different genres.
to be honest am a collector an when I receive some cash wealth
now I want do a big libery home one for learning
so on the book keeping part is something u can pass on to kids nice's or nephews 😊
I only have about 70-100 books, but even I would find it so hard to only keep 30. Even my Harry Potter books would take up 1/3 of 30, including my Cursed Child, Fantastic Beasts movie script and 20th anniversary edition. The Cursed Child sucks and I'd never read the movie script of FB, but both books are just so pretty and I wouldn't have the heart to get rid of them especially with the added factor of collecting all HP books.
If you're interested in new authors check out "A Glimpse Beyond The Aether " (What happens when we die) and "Breaching The Sentry" (Can we change the past?).Syfy/romance.
First- I love ur lipstick and second PLEASE read shadow of the fox
anyone else notice she said the strange and beautiful sorrows of ava lavender twice at the end? haha
This is such a cool idea for a video!!
Hailey looking so pretty today!!!
If I had to, I could not own any books but I just love having a physical copy and would want a legitimate library one day.
30 books for me - that would be impossible, because I'd have to keep the 30 books that I have personally signed by authors; but then there are other books by other authors that I love that haven't been signed and I couldn't keep them under this method.
I guess the positive is, I did unhaul some books last year - still waiting to sell them, at market or ebay or whatever - but they're not on my bookshelf taking up space anymore!!
If you like paranormal set in the twenties New York you should check out the Timeless duology by Alexandra Monir. The first has amazing descriptions of New York in the Tens, Twenties, and Thirties. I think you'd like it!!
I get rid of almost everything I read unless it’s 4.5 stars or more. If I didn’t have my good reads where I can shelf and review everything I have read, I think I would have a harder time getting rid of books. For some reason having the proof and my thoughts on every book, makes it manageable to toss most things I won’t read again.
interesting topic. I really loved it.
In my high school if you tale English 12 (semester class) The Hate U Give is a required book you will read in class.
