 So, this is a really bad timing for me to start the video for multiple reasons. One being I just had an oral surgery and two being I'm in the middle of moving, but this is the part of moving that I really wanted to feature and I'm about to get started with it. So, this is going to be a fun, interesting video if this ever actually becomes a video. Hi, it's Marius and welcome back to my channel. So this video is obviously going to be very different and as I said at the beginning of this video for my little intro, this half of my mouth doesn't move or look sad or something. I'm still numb and swollen from the oral surgery that I had earlier today, but today is Thursday, it's August 27th, yep, and today we are packing up to move because my husband and I are moving to Minnesota on Saturday, but tomorrow is my step-brother-in-law's birthday so we kind of want to spend all day with him and celebrating with his family and saying goodbye rather than packing. So, it is 10.30? Yes, it's actually legit, it's 10.30 in the morning and I just finished packing up my clothes and my shoes and like all those kinds of things and so the next major thing to be packing is my bookshelf because here, here, okay I'm like balancing, here is the thing. So yeah, the camera angle is kind of crazy because everything is being packed up so I can't quite do everything the same as a normal video plus I'm going to be moving around a lot. I'm going to pack up the books that I want to read that are very important to me kind of more so my TBR into my book trunk which I use this past year as a freshman and I absolutely loved it and what's cool about this book trunk and I'll show you footage in a minute. What's cool about it is that my husband got it for me as a gift on our anniversary and it's World War II trunk. It carried explosives in World War II so it's very old but still like works and so it still has like all those printed markings of like TNC right here or charge or and you know it's like it's got all that cool lettering on it but then what I did is that I took markers, wood friendly markers and I wrote some of my favorite bookish quotes and I wrote some of my favorite quotes from authors and I also painted leaves and stamped them on there just to give it a little more of a friendlier vibe rather than this carries explosives because while some books may be very explosive not all of them are I don't know and then my husband also wrote a cute little note on the inside for me so I'll show you that footage. So this is the trunk open my husband wrote a cute little note it says my love for you it is as boundless as the imagination in the books you read. Love Brennan it's hard to see but that is what he wrote because he knows that my favorite thing about reading books is the imagination and the creativity in them so here I just you know I put the books inside but I decorated I decorated the top so like you can see it says ammunition for can with explosive projectile but then like right below I got books are uniquely portable magic notes who persons ever read the same book reading is a form of escape you know I've just got all these different quotes. This is my favorite way to travel long distance with books because it will always be labeled what it is and it's it's unique in that it's short but it's long so it can carry quite a few books it does get pretty heavy but that's because a lot of books are heavy so this is what I'm taking my priority books in. So I'm like I said I'm just going to put the more the books that I'm going to read in the trunk I love my trunk and I've been really thinking about doing a video of how to transport books because that's been very crazy and I've been having to do that driving from Michigan to Minnesota is about a 10-hour drive so it is going to be a nice long journey to go on so insert montage of me stacking this full and then I have to go find more boxes for the rest of the books because I am moving all hello yeah but it's fine I love you so I am going to be taking all of my books with me it's just a matter of books that are coming with me right now this weekend and books and other boxes that my parents will be driving out to Minnesota over Labor Day weekend because we have a Prius and while those are great for long distances those do not have a lot of room and storage so we're taking all the bare necessities so lots of kitchen things bathroom things bed things and a few clothes now and then some books now we can fit them and then my parents will come up in another weekend or so with everything else in my aunt and uncle's truck and then hopefully we'll be all moved to Minnesota I'm just gonna go ahead and get right into it okay Caravalle by Stephanie Garber because I have not yet read it uh the memory book Christina Henry because I'm in the middle of it and I've been in the middle of it forever as well as this is the little Paris bookshop I don't want to put this in with the other books because I don't want it to take up space it's not that important the total by Neil Shusterman I really want to finish this trilogy so that book is definitely coming with in the first round Joaquila by Bram Stoker look how beautiful it is and there are so many other books I want to read as well so that's definitely coming next up is a song of rates and ruins by Roseanne a brown this this is this copy is technically an art got it off of a like yard sale kind of thing but it was like for free it was like take a free book and I saw this and I was like yeah I'm gonna take this book for free I've been wanting to read it so like I might buy another copy that's like newer not so tattered and like with the final cover art but uh for now I'm taking this because I definitely want to read it I'm also taking Unravel Me because same story I have read Shatter Me and that was it but I want to continue with the series and so now I own Unravel Me so I can at least continue with the series by reading that one so that one's coming with so I'm also gonna take uh this is The Summoning by Kelly Armstrong it's the first in a trilogy that were my roommate last year gave to me and I just hadn't read it yet and I told her I would read it and then I just thought I didn't read it yet so I'm definitely taking this trilogy with me because I want to read them then if you guys have been following my channel then you know that I've been reading The Twisted Tales Disney books by Liz Braswell and Jen Calanita so um yeah if you don't know what those are they're basically Disney stories but with a what-if question that just completely twists the entire thing I have so far read three of them I have I own three more I own part of your world which is The Little Mermaid I have Mirror Mirror which is uh the Snow White here I'm holding these so far away and I have uh Straight On to Morning which is Peter Pan and I'm bringing these with me because December is my month of reading retellings and I'm super excited so they're coming with me uh we probably will be coming back home late December 4 Christmas but like we'll see I want them with me okay and then the last few books that I'm gonna try and fit in the trunk the trunk is pretty full right now um but the last few that I'm gonna try and fit are all books just on my shelf that I just have not yet read um again if you've been following my channel you know I've been reading a different genre each month but for the past month of August and most likely this upcoming month of September I've decided to take a break from it um just because of everything hectic in my life uh like I just got married and now we're moving um and just with COVID a lot of the genres I wanted to read are not genres that I own and therefore could not get books of um because I either couldn't find an audiobook or an ebook version or like the libraries are not open uh completely and so I wasn't able to get them so the next couple months I'm not really following that and I'm just kind of taking a break plus it was also starting to put me into a slump which I'd rather read something that I want to read that's not of a different genre rather than reading nothing at all or forcing myself to read so we're just gonna go with and yes no my husband is doing last minute yard work for my parents that he has been working on all summer that he's been wanting to finish have so he's using the power washer there's noise I'm so sorry please deal with it um and so that's gonna include The Emperor's Blades by Brian Stavely Stavely Stavely this one I'm bringing this book because it was given to me by my mother-in-law and I never read it and I want to I just have it that book doesn't fit we may have to rearrange um I'm also going to I'm also gonna bring City of a Thousand Dollars by Miriam Foster because it's on my shelf and I haven't read it I'm reading Before She Ignites by Jody Meadows because again it's on my shelf I started it and I really like the premise for it and the end I started it I like the premise for it never got past chapter two so bringing that along so the two that I'm bringing are Golden Hand and Clariel and um I I had thought that I initially read Clariel but then I hear my brother talk about it and I'm like I don't remember that at all so maybe I read it and forgot everything or maybe I just flat out didn't read it and assumed I did because I finished The Apportion Trilogy I own these two books and I'm gonna try and fit them into my trunk here lies a problem I have three books that I want to take that don't fit how it's set up the two books by Garth Nakes and then the Emperor's Blade because they're like big books in that they're too wide they're not too tall but they're too wide so let's see if I can't adjust some things I can yes no maybe no it does not work and now I need to go find more boxes to get the rest of the books I'm getting a little bit smile back a little bit of feeling a lot of pain but that's how this goes the room is such a mess all right box hunting here we go bad news guys this box is full this box is full that box is not like full but I gotta go through it yet but it's not a very big box those are all full this is all full from wedding stuff yeah everything in the living room is full and all the boxes we have are in the living room so uh I don't know if I'm gonna have boxes for my books we're gonna have to go buy some and obviously I need more boxes so I'm gonna put those together and then finish packing my books up and then part two will be after we've moved to Minnesota unpacking and organizing and then I can do an official bookshelf tour because hopefully those shelves will be a little more organized than these ones were but I was only gonna be here for the summer anyway so so that actually might just be the end of this video then if I'm
