Join me in my journey of decluttering as I prepare for a big move. In this post, I share my book unhaul process and discuss the books I have decided to pass on to a new home.
,,Why I Decided to Do a Book Unhaul
In this post, I wanted to share my process of decluttering books as I prepare to move to a new home. As a book lover, it can be difficult to part with books, but sometimes it's necessary to make space for new adventures.
The decision to do a book unhaul was not easy, but I realized that there were many books on my shelves that I had already read and didn't plan to reread in the future. I wanted these books to find new homes and bring joy to other readers.
By decluttering my book collection, I'm not only making the moving process easier, but I'm also creating space for new books and new memories in my future home.

Criteria for My Book Unhaul
When deciding which books to pass on, I had a few criteria in mind. Firstly, I considered whether I had already read the book and if I had any plans to reread it in the future. If the answer was no, then it made it onto the unhaul pile.
I also thought about whether the book had sentimental value. If a book held special memories or was given to me by someone important, I decided to keep it, regardless of whether I planned to read it again.
Lastly, I considered whether the book was easily replaceable. If it was a popular book that I could easily borrow from a library or purchase again in the future, I decided to let it go.
These criteria helped me navigate through my book collection and make decisions that felt right for me.

The Joy of Passing on Books
One of the best parts of doing a book unhaul is the joy of passing on books to others. It feels great to know that someone else will get to enjoy a book that once brought me happiness.
In the post, I showed some of the books that I decided to donate or give away. I hope that these books find new homes and bring as much joy to their new owners as they brought to me.
Passing on books is also a sustainable choice. Instead of letting them collect dust on my shelves, I'm giving them a chance to be loved and read by someone else. It's a win-win situation!
