#AntiBookHaul
blurb

I've had H&S (as they preferred to be collectively known 🫠) and Tecumseh for 26 and 24 years respectively, and at 1207 and 509 pages, I have to face the truth that I'm never going to read them. So, they join the #AntiBookHaul ranks, and I've created space for four other books to come out of floor stacks and onto a shelf! This feels simultaneously 📚👋😢😮‍💨 and 📚👋😌🏆

Bookwomble And as long as I keep buying books faster than I read them, it's also a Sisyphean task. Mrs. B has suggested a one-in-one out rule, but that feels too close to Kier Starmer's immigration policy for comfort! 😏 2d

Deblovestoread My husband is not a reader and I often get a glazed eye look when I talk about what I‘m reading. BUT you have brought to my attention the advantage of not having to share book space…it‘s mine all mine. 😂 2d
quietlycuriouskate Hurray for ousting H & S! (Though I fear what new shelf they'll bully into making room for them.) 1d
Bookwomble @quietlycuriouskate I don't think Bullock was complimentary about that double act, so whoever had it after me won't find it a celebration 😏 That said, I don't think I'll get anything out of it personally other than confirmation of my firmly held belief that they were atrocious people, so I can save myself 1200 heavy pages! 1d

Is there such a thing as an #AntiBookHaul ?

I've taken a deep breath and I'm taking these to my local National Trust second hand book room in order to make space on my shelves for books I want to keep.
(When I say "space on my shelves," I actually mean "marginally reduce the height of the piles of books stacked on the floor," but let's not pick nits!)

Ruthiella Good job! Someone will delightedly pick them up and think, “What a find!” 👍 2w
Bookwomble @Ruthiella Unfortunately, they were unexpectedly closed for the day, which me saying was possibly a sign I'm supposed to keep them did not strike Mrs. B as amusing 😁 I'll take them another day. 2w
AnnCrystal 👏🏼😉👌🏼📚💫. (edited) 2w
