One of which is Heartless, and honestly???? It's a top ten book for me for sure, I literally love it so much. I was on my toes through basically the entire second half and certain parts had me gasping and screaming. It was the first Marissa Meyer book I'd read outside of the Lunar Chronicles and solidified her being an automatic buy for me.

One amazing thing-the stacks of books make a wonderful backdrop to the video! And I was close-I guessed 242. To help you feel better, and maybe inadvertently cast shame on myself, I have over 500 books I haven’t read yet. I have a problem with loving to buy and own books and I truly want to read them. I just need to accept I’m not a fast reader and to be more selective. Overall, I don’t feel shame because I don’t spend money on much else and the books make me happy-but I do really WANT to read the books I own! But I agree with you it’s not fun when people come over and ask about different books and I haven’t yet read them…

I'm currently deep into the process. I have about the same amount unread as you, although a number of them are graphic novels. Decluttering books is a change in mindset to remove the thought of "scarcity" or FOMO. Barring some out-of-print books, which could one day come back into print, you can still read ANYthing you get rid of if you decide you need to. Determine to own only a library of books you treasure. Commit to reading what you own. If that seems unmanageable, unhaul some of the unread books. If that is scary, set a smaller target to start with, such as 50 books. Get rid of duplicates first. Get rid of outdated or unwanted nonfiction or reference books. Get rid of books you don't like or don't want to read now. Consider getting ebooks for some series that you like and will re-read but don't "love". Unhaul books you have read and know you don't want to re-read. Determine if series you currently own but haven't read are still of interest. Again, remember that you can change your mind later if you get rid of some unread books, and that it's OK to keep only the books in a series you like. Consider getting a Little Free Library and keeping it stocked - sharing books is fun and will continue to motivate your unhaul over time. If you still feel the need to buy books, unhaul a book for each new book. Or say you have to earn new books by reading books you already physically own on a two for one basis.

This year one of my book resolutions was to to get through my older books that have been sitting on my shelves and give/donate books I know I will not read or dnf. I took a list of some books I have read that you have not read that I really enjoyed and they are in no specific order: The last thing he told me by Laura Dave, Heartless by Marissa Meyer (definitely my favorite and highly recommend ) Lore Olympus Vol 1, How the king of Elfhame learned to hate stories by Holly Black - another favorite , These twisted bonds by Lexi Ryan must read ( I've already read twice :) ), Alice through the looking glass ( Alice in wonderland series is my favorite since I was a kid, lol ) and The Beauty and the beast. Also not to add to your large amount of books to read but if you love zombies and retellings you should check out Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter - I read it a few years ago and its an awesome series.

At 20:34. I never had a stack fall on me but I did once get seriously injured by a stack of hardcover books. I was moving back too far and bumped my leg on a corners of hardcovers stacked high. A bruise the next day looked bad but not a cause for alarm. The next day it was worse and infected the entire leg. I saw a doctor and he thought it was an infection. The pharmacist said the medication is not working, go see your doctor. It must have been serious because I was at the specialist office doing tests that afternoon. I had a serious blood clot that could have killed me. After injections for a week and pills for a year I was given the clear bill of health.
