Unhauling is self-care to make room for some brand new potentially new favourites. Also there’s no point hanging on to a book you didn’t like, it’s just gonna be bad reminders
I kept a copy of a book on my shelf that I absolutely despised just to use it as an example of what not to do when writing historical fiction. Though, it was completely out of spite since I paid full price for a book that I thought was actually pretty subpar. I kept it for five years where I would just angrily glare at it from time to time since it was front and centre on my bookcase. The moment I unhauled it from my personal library was the day I felt a huge weight lift from my shoulders.
@@TiffWaffleswow! May I ask what book was that that caused such bad emotions? Now I want to read it out of curiosity😂My version of your experience would be Adulterio by Paulo Coehlo (don’t know its translated title). Just nothing made sense and the story was so pointless and ridiculous and you could tell that the female protagonist was written by a man because of how absurdly she acted and how her thought process was. I think it was the first book I hated, before even knowing printed books could actually be bad. Little did I know lol
@july3817 they sent people they work with their whole monthly selection (6-8 books), so a lot probably ended up with books they would have never picked up for themselves. From what I saw, they stopped doing that
I personally believe that what you said about supporting Dominican authors can also be seen as passing the book so that someone who loves it can find it and recommend it to more people, that way the author becomes better known. I think it's a good way to see it. Even with the books that were given to you, I think people would feel better knowing that the book is in the hands of someone who loved it and not that it is a burden on you 💜
this feels so therapeutic to watch! i spent my day clearing DMs, photos and just taking the day off to care for myself. this week has been rough but i can't wait for it to end (and this month too). one good thing tho: i have my reading mojo back and have read some really good books lately (my favourites being tuesdays with morrie and this other graphic novel memoir called gender queer that i read for class). anyway, thank you for making my day, bella. i send you, and anyone who stumbles upon this comment, so much love and happiness 💜
this video reminded me of Chloe unhauling books when she reached a new chapter of her life, so when you said "its character growth" I was like yes mam 💕
I have been using the library more before buying books just because I rather buy a book that I enjoy versus wasting my time and money with reading a book I did not like.
I read grandmaster of demonic cultivation earlier this year and I absolutely loved it. Even though I had to ditch the book three times before I finally forced myself to read it and ended up falling in love with it. But the story actually starts getting better from the third book. I struggled a lot while reading the first two books. But I think you might actually like the story. So maybe if you want, give it another chance.
I had exactly the same experience.😅 The third and fourth books are my absolute favourites. ❤ SO good! Edit: I might even go as far as that I think I like it slightly more than Heaven Official's Blessing 🫣
I really enjoyed this video. There is such a therapeutic thing about letting go and embracing whatever lies ahead. Thank you for another great one luv 💕💕
I love the way you did this and how decisive you were! I love unhauling books that I didn't love. It feels so good to curate my collection to only favourites!
Unhauling is like taking a major weight off your shoulder. It's about the brutal, brutal honesty of your tastes and I love that for you!!! P. S. Your top is sooooooooo CUTEEEEEE ❤❤❤❤
This has inspired me to do a book unhaul, for the first time ever!! Also p.s. you look beautiful in this video, this soft romantic style looks amazing on you!
Hi! I'm a new subscriber and I really love your videos. You're so much fun and honest and thoughtful in your book rundowns. The one book that hurt me seeing leave your shelves was Sadie bc I absolutely love that book, I gave it 5 stars. I don't think I'll reread it either bc it's too heart-rending but I could never be rid of it. Hopefully it'll make its way to another reader in your country who will have their heart rip out but love it as much anyway.
I recently I unhauled about 1/3 of my books (I don't own that many but it was still about 15 books). I don't live near any kind of used bookstore, so I donated them to my local library. I love unhauling, just as much as I love getting new books.
I like MDZS more than TGCF. But if you didn’t like the first volume of the series I would suggest giving volume two a try before calling it quits because the vibe of the story changes significantly.
honestly, seeing those empty spots on the shelf is exciting because i can't wait to see what they're going to be filled with later 👀 and i am now eyeing my shelf because ive been too much of a coward to unhaul, but this video finally motivated me😈 _cough_ unhaul beartown _cough_
This might sound kinda random, but oh my god right when I clicked on this video I gasped😫 you’re looking so pretty wth. Anyway thanks for the new video❤️❤️
you not liking wilder girls was a shock!! i usually like the same books as you, but i LOVED wilder girls, i gave it like 4.5 stars. and yess, unhauls are good for the soul :)
In my country English books are so hard to find and they're so hard to get and when i find them it's really expensive for my budget as a student And i was watching this video and thinking if i have the books that's she's unhauling, i will be the happiest Most of them are on my tbr, and getting rid of books is so hard, but I'm so proud of you cause letting go is a must
Did my ears deceive me??? You might give MDZS another try?? Omg I genuinely thought you were gonna unhaul it 😭 I personally love WangXian so much. I know you said the writing was a bit rough, but the couple is so adorable and so sweet. (And the story does get dark later on, like TGCF)
100% agree with unhauling gifted books if you didn’t like them. If I had given someone a book gift that they read, disliked, and got rid of, I would not be offended at all.
Nice unhaul. I appreciate the honest comments/reactions. About Frankly in Love - take a photo of the book and say goodbye. I avoided Tomorrowx3 because of the trigger warnings, but then I heard about the plagiarism accusation.
I think it would be a good idea to keep the notes from the books that were gifted and unhauled that way you still have a memory token from the gifters but not the actual book.
I wish I could be brutal with the unread pile! At the moment, I focus on repositioning the ones I read and have no plans of opening again, going so-so ))
5:48 I feel exactly the same with The Maid by Nita Prose. The idea it was really good because she was trying to do an unique caracther but she didn't do it well at the end😅y en español da todavia más cringe. DFN por la mitad porque ya dejó de interesarme, cuando no te importa demasiado el crimen en un libro thriller es que va mal la cosa 😂
Honestly, one of my friends gifted me a trilogy, and I only read the first and half of the second one…I really don’t think I’m ever going to pick it up again but I kept them because I felt bad…but this video finally gave me the courage to move on 😂
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED AMARI AND THE NIGHT BROTHERS. i was so suprised because it’s a Childrens book but it was so spectacular and even tho your unhauling them I’m sure that you know I have way to many books on my tmr I’ll never read😂
0:21 You look so beautiful with that blouse 🥺🤍 21:59 Perfect definition of why we read books 💞🤣 39:35 Luckily my friend is not around because she LOVES this trilogy 😂
I also felt the same exact way about On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous and I also gave Severance 2 stars… although I think you decided you did give it a higher rating. Lolol Ohh I loved Orange! It was my very first manga series and I adored it!
I love that top on you it's so cute!! Been trying to find stuff like that, but the stores in my hometown are either focused on street wear or basic items 😭 Edit: thanks for the inspiration I have been thinking about doing the same. Start fresh. I've got a few books just because they were famous a while back, but dont feel like reading them tbh 😂
When you have trouble letting go of books because of their covers or notes from friends, take a picture. Pictures take up less space, can be stored digitally, and you still have the memory.
I think you should give Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation another go. Also, I did not like Wilder Girls much either so it would be an easy unhaul for me as well.
personally i see no harm in trying grandmaster of demonic cultivation a second time! my first experience with it was watching the show, so i was a little familiar with the world before the book. This book as a first dive into danmei can be kinda jarring!
unhauling it totally fair but you're totally bashing on BOTM lol. i love hearing you talk about books and mixing it up with español. your videos are a MOOD
I don’t think I’m bashing on BOTM though because I would still recommend it sponsored or not 😂 I’ve read some new faves thanks to them I think it’s normal for not all of them to be bangers 👉👈
WIlder Girls was the only one that hurt me, I LOVED it but I can see why not everyone would. Tbh maybe this video will inspire me to do my own unhaul since I'm running out of space for books Also I'm kinda surprised you didn't get rid off Beartown!
Maybe try the Manhua for Grandmaster. It was my first one too, and while I found the books ok, I liked seeing the drawings and visuals the Manhua gave.

Unhauling is so therapeutic! Now I’m inspired to donate books!
yes!!! i feel so much lighter 🥰
I admire the decisiveness. This Bella came ready to take care of business. Now I’m inspired to dump a few.
👏 DO 👏 IT 👏
I just unhauled an entire shelf of books that I had for years & have not read yet. Yay for more space for books we love 🥳♥️
here's to better books and a better book collection 🥰🫶
It's always interesting seeing how many people unhaul Book of the Month books. I've seen that in quite a few unhauls videos now
And it’s often the same people who have like half of their videos sponsored by BOTM 😅
@july3817 they sent people they work with their whole monthly selection (6-8 books), so a lot probably ended up with books they would have never picked up for themselves. From what I saw, they stopped doing that

!!!!
Girl you are so brave for this! I am so bad at unhauling books, but this has inspired me to go back through my shelves and get rid of a few
👏 Do 👏 it 👏 its so cathartic 🫶
I have been using the library more before buying books just because I rather buy a book that I enjoy versus wasting my time and money with reading a book I did not like.
Un-haul is a great way for the next favorite book to fit in your selves😊😊😊😊
So true!!

you need to give Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation another go! It's my baby. along with The Untamed tv show version of the story
Unhauling is like taking a major weight off your shoulder. It's about the brutal, brutal honesty of your tastes and I love that for you!!!
P. S. Your top is sooooooooo CUTEEEEEE ❤❤❤❤
literally loved this video it's so therapeutic watching someone unhaul so many books💘
This has inspired me to do a book unhaul, for the first time ever!! Also p.s. you look beautiful in this video, this soft romantic style looks amazing on you!
Yay! Thank you! 🥰🫶
Letting go of things that don't have good memories attached to them is so therapeutic. OMG the quotes at 6:30 😂

That white lacy top is gorgeous 😍
Unhauling books📚it’s what we do from time to time!👍🏾💞
Girl we have some kind of telepathic connection cause whenever I am having a bad day you upload a video 😭😭
the pink shelf is soooo pretty
What a lovely thanksgiving treat. Much thanks from the US on turkey day
Edit: maybe we could all buddy read Grand Master of Demonic Cultivation
that's a great idea!! 👀
23:54 that throw was personal 😂
Yeees I love unhaul videos! I always feel so satisfied
Funny how I was thinking about you and then you posted this- and also that top looks so pretty but you're prettier 💞
Oh thank you! 🥰
I like MDZS more than TGCF. But if you didn’t like the first volume of the series I would suggest giving volume two a try before calling it quits because the vibe of the story changes significantly.
if you want a book similar to "The stationary shop" in my opinion, you really need to read "as long as the lemon trees grow"
The Untamed is my favorite show so I’m a little bias but yes give Grandmaster another shot
Watched this while cleaning my room and it was the BEST energy and motivation ❤
always a W finding a reading channel who reads novels and manga 🤝🏻
honestly, seeing those empty spots on the shelf is exciting because i can't wait to see what they're going to be filled with later 👀 and i am now eyeing my shelf because ive been too much of a coward to unhaul, but this video finally motivated me😈
_cough_ unhaul beartown _cough_
your spanish accent is s cute, plus the way youve organized this book shelve. im in love
Thank you so much!!
This might sound kinda random, but oh my god right when I clicked on this video I gasped😫 you’re looking so pretty wth. Anyway thanks for the new video❤️❤️
you look so gorgeous in the video!! love your outfit 🤍
Thank you so much!!
About time I unhaul books too! Gotta make room for those new books 😅
Girl that top is soooo cuteee!!!❤❤
thank you!! :')
Alexa turning on and your response had me chuckling I was so taken by surprise lmaooooo
her unhauling “on earth, we’re briefly gorgeous” was a personal attack to me 😭😭😔✋
you not liking wilder girls was a shock!! i usually like the same books as you, but i LOVED wilder girls, i gave it like 4.5 stars.
and yess, unhauls are good for the soul :)
You look so cuuuute! The shirt, the hair, the glowy cheeks, you’re so precious
You’re too kind thank you 😭🫶
You unhauling the gilded wolves was like a dagger in the heart 😂 but I get it. Make that space girl! For better books 💕
Omg you had me sold on your channel in the first 10 seconds 🤣 books ✅ KPop ✅ kdramas ✅ video games ✅🥰🥰
Welcome to my channel 🥹🫶
45:00 Yes!! And please vlog it!!!🙏🏻
Love your dress so much 😭😭💗
Thank you 😭❤️🩹
Feeling the pothos cutting in the Starbucks frap glass bottle. Me too girl me too lol
day one of asking bella to do a dominican readathon/book recs video
In my country English books are so hard to find and they're so hard to get and when i find them it's really expensive for my budget as a student
And i was watching this video and thinking if i have the books that's she's unhauling, i will be the happiest
Most of them are on my tbr, and getting rid of books is so hard, but I'm so proud of you cause letting go is a must
I’m sorry if you’ve said before, but every video you have the most amazing jewelry and I just wondered where you get them!
Bella talking Spanish to Alexa is way too funny
omg i love your outfit 😭💕
Omg thank you 😭🫶

100% agree with unhauling gifted books if you didn’t like them. If I had given someone a book gift that they read, disliked, and got rid of, I would not be offended at all.
you should give the MDZS vol 2 a go! If you don’t like it maybe watch the donghua because I enjoyed it more than the books
Nice unhaul. I appreciate the honest comments/reactions. About Frankly in Love - take a photo of the book and say goodbye.
I avoided Tomorrowx3 because of the trigger warnings, but then I heard about the plagiarism accusation.
It might be a dumb question to ask but what will you do with these books? Like are you gonna resell or what?
I’m going to be donating some, giving some to friends and selling to people who live in my country!
I LOVE your sweater, it fits you amazingly 😍🌹
Thank you!!
I think it would be a good idea to keep the notes from the books that were gifted and unhauled that way you still have a memory token from the gifters but not the actual book.

I COULD NEVER LET GO OF MY BOOKS, EVEN IF THE BOOKS WERE HORRIBLE. I AM ALSO TRYING TO GROW MY COLLECTION.
why would you want things you dont enjoy in your collection? letting go of things you dont enjoy is healthy and allows room for things you do
@@alisonpelley6841 I love collecting.....
I loved Vladimir 😂 one of my favorites
Off topic but that dress is so pretty 🥺❤
thank you!!

"Alexa no empieces.". Escúchame, me he reído a carcajadas
I don't have books to unhaul/declutter but I found this video very inspiring to get rid of some other shit in my life. so, thanks.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED AMARI AND THE NIGHT BROTHERS. i was so suprised because it’s a Childrens book but it was so spectacular and even tho your unhauling them I’m sure that you know I have way to many books on my tmr I’ll never read😂
That shirt looks good! Also great video :)
Thank you!! 🥰
0:21 You look so beautiful with that blouse 🥺🤍
21:59 Perfect definition of why we read books 💞🤣
39:35 Luckily my friend is not around because she LOVES this trilogy 😂
thank you so much 🥹💖💞 OOp don't show this video to your friend askjfh 😭
I'm currently reading Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation and loving it
You say the shelves are empty, I say I see room for new potential favourites 😀
I also felt the same exact way about On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous and I also gave Severance 2 stars… although I think you decided you did give it a higher rating. Lolol

i'm only a minute in but omg?? you look like a princess
When you have trouble letting go of books because of their covers or notes from friends, take a picture. Pictures take up less space, can be stored digitally, and you still have the memory.
that's a great idea!!
maturing is realizing that unhauling books is actual growth
just gotta say I love your shirt!
thank you!!
loved this video!🫶🏼 could u eventually tell me where your top is from, love it!
Oop- just placed Vampires of El Norte on hold at the library... still gonna give it a shot...😭
I hope you like it more than me!!
Girl yes, give grandmaster of demonic cultivation another chance. I promise you're gonna like it now that you've been reading other danmei novels
I think you should give Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation another go. Also, I did not like Wilder Girls much either so it would be an easy unhaul for me as well.
This was the most satisfying video ever!
Is Yolk already unhauled? If not, you should definitely get rid of it already. Also, Lolita
Yolk is GOOONE 😤 OOF I didn't even think of Lolita but maybe I should 🤔
the unhaul was harsh but fair x😂
I think you should give a chance to Grand Master of Demonic Cultivation😅 44:50
personally i see no harm in trying grandmaster of demonic cultivation a second time! my first experience with it was watching the show, so i was a little familiar with the world before the book. This book as a first dive into danmei can be kinda jarring!
Bella going through a character development to then keep Dracula and Beartown 😂
LISTEN DON'T DO THIS TO ME
I want that Vladimir copy actually... Too bad I'm overseas (Indonesia)
unhauling it totally fair but you're totally bashing on BOTM lol. i love hearing you talk about books and mixing it up with español. your videos are a MOOD

you should definitely do your own unhaul it is *very* cathartic 😈💖 Honestly I might get rid of Beartown... I'm still on the fence about it though 😳
Why didn’t you like Beartown? =)
I totally agree with your take on Vladmir! I dnf'd it ,it was insufferable....
Maybe try the Manhua for Grandmaster. It was my first one too, and while I found the books ok, I liked seeing the drawings and visuals the Manhua gave.
Good idea!!
this has put me in the mood to ✨unhaul ✨even though I delude myself into thinking I'll read them all 🤡
DOOO IT
getting rid of half of BOTM books is crazy 😭
So much for the "you can save so much money that way!" right?
recomiendas el libro de la Hacienda?
siii!!
Keep the books for their cover. Consider it art. 😊
seems to be interesting here!
