Shelf of the Week: @hollyli's BookTok Shelf, 8 Books for a Tenner Before She Moves

James Mumberson

Every so often a shelf lands on Sell Your Shelf that makes the rest of us look disorganised. This week it's @hollyli's.

Sixty books. Mostly romance, romantasy and young adult. Prices from £1. And because Holly offers free shipping on orders over £10, you can walk away with around eight books in a single parcel for the price of one new paperback.

Meet the seller

Holly's reason for selling is refreshingly simple. "I've finished reading them and I'm about to move away, so I just want to clear my shelf," she says.

She's found listing painless, too: "This app is extremely helpful and easy to use, so I can share my collections with those who want them."

Which means one thing for you: once these are gone, they're gone. Holly's moving, and the shelf is going with her, one parcel at a time.

What's on the shelf?

If your For You page is mostly spicy covers and enemies-to-lovers, you'll feel at home. Highlights include:

  • Icebreaker and Wildfire by Hannah Grace, both £1
  • Butcher and Blackbird by Brynne Weaver, £4.20
  • It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover, £1.80
  • The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston, £1

It isn't all romance. There's Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi (£1), The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa (£1.50), and Malorie Blackman's Noughts & Crosses (£1) for anyone who missed it at school.

Complete series, one parcel

This is where Holly's shelf earns its spot. Rather than scattering series across separate listings, she's bundled them:

  • Shadow Blood Souls by Eva Chase: all five books for £14.25
  • Made series by Danielle Lori: all three books for £10.00

Anyone who's tried to track down book four of a series secondhand knows why this matters. No hunting and no mismatched editions, just the whole run in one go.
