Last batch... for a while!
If anyone wants any of these before they are donated please let me know and I will send it to you.
Unfortunately I can only ship to continental US right now though (super sorry) because the mail is so screwed up these days.
@Laughterhp @Chili how about these? LOL

If anyone wants any of these before they are donated please let me know and I will send it to you. Many of these are great I just have doubles, some were just so painful to read the first time around I know I will never do it again.

Doing some weeding of my home library. If anyone would like any of these let me know. Not that any of these are incredibly popular, but I will use a first come first serve basis system. Because of shipping costs and issues, continental US only please. (Sorry)

Last night, on a whim, I went through my bookshelves and did a purge. I tried to be brutally honest about books I will likely never read, didn‘t like when I read them, or will likely never return to. The result is the removal of these 250 books. #bookpurge

Redwritinghood Wow! Good job! 👍🏻👍🏻 5y

mreads Now you've got room for new books 😁👍 5y

TheSpineView So hard, but sometimes hard choices lead to good things. 5y

So when teachers or libraries weed or are forced to weed they call me ...I can get books into kids hands instead of a paper gator 😳 but I find treasures too ....so if you're ever looking for a book and can't find it, I run across all kinds of books 📖 I may have a copy 😬 social@bookhippie.com FYI

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Wow! I‘ll keep that in mind! 6y

Lovesbooks87 Wow! This is amazing! 6y

ErinGoBragh1011 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa thank you for the referral. I sent her an email. 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @ErinGoBragh1011 You‘re welcome! It‘s worth a try! 6y

ErinGoBragh1011 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa heck yes it is! Because seriously the only book I would ever spend that kind of cash on is an original Poe. 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @ErinGoBragh1011 I agree, for what they were asking, it better be a hardcover, first edition, signed, collectible author. 6y

Well, it's taken me way too long but I've finally pulled my books off the shelves and out of boxes and am weeding through them. Some might call it work, but it's rather fun. By the way, the book piles and boxes continue around the corner into the hallway.

writerlibrarian I do this for a living, yes it is fun and somehow cathartic. Says the librarian who enjoys wedding a lot. 7y

Tanner @writerlibrarian Whew, just finished. I still don't have quite enough bookshelf space but at least I don't have books in boxes anymore (other than what I'm giving away). 7y

One of my #bookishresolutions (well, really the only one) is to go through, weed out, and organize my library. I have 5 bookshelves of various sizes in the house, plus boxes of books in my basement. Here's one of the shelves. I can't remember the last time I weeded, so it's time. #readjanuary

RealLifeReading Good luck!! Happy new year! 🎈🎆🎊 🎉 7y

Tanner @RealLifeReading Thank you! And Happy New Year to you as well! 🎉🎊 7y

PurpleyPumpkin Good luck! I have such a hard time weeding my collection. It's even hard for me to part with books I don't like, which really is ridiculous. 😂Let us know how you do. 😉 7y

Tanner @PurpleyPumpkin Me too! I keep books too because I think I should (since it's a "classic" or "important" book), and I have to get over that. I'll post updates! 7y
