It's Time for an Unhauling!
I'm unhauling a shit load of books . . ok, maybe it's only a shit load to me, the book-hoarder. But work with me, people. I'm actually getting rid of books! This is a big deal for me. I mean, I usually don't ditch a books unless I hated the stories, and I went to a dark place of mental loathing that made me dump them off at the best donation spot available.
It's spring, and time for spring cleaning . . .I guess. . .or maybe I just want room for books I really want to read. Yeah, that's probably more like it. Anyway without further ado, the unhauling.
Death at Wentworth Court by Carola Dunn
This book has been on my TBR since 2011, so yeah, I feel like I'm not gonna get around to this one. So out it goes. I'm sure it has a fan base, and I'm not dissing the book or it's author. But hanging about for eight years? Yeah, this book is just taking up space on my TBR list that could be dedicated to a good fantasy or a smutty delight, or . . I don't know, and educational book on potatoes. Ok, that was random, but you get my idea. It not getting read, so it getting knocked. Sorry Miss Dalrymple. . .
Bookmarked for Death by Lorna Barrett
This is the second book in a series I wanted to try years ago, and I'm just not interested anymore. I mean, it still sounds cute, but I know I'm just not gonna read it. So goodbye, it's not you it's me.
Mr. Darcy's Little Sister by Allyn C. Pierson
This is a book I added back in 2012 when I was on a ravenous Austen/Regency binge. I never got around to this one, and since my ardor for this style of book has cooled slightly, I probably won't be reading it. So I'm afraid it will have to go to the unhaul pile. Maybe a Janeite will find it and give it a good home. That will make me feel better about tossing it away. Happy thoughts.
Christmas at Pemberley by Regina Jeffers
This is going for the same reason as the book before it. No longer digesting Regency books at the speed of light. I forgot I even had this, so off it goes to a home where it will be better respected.
Uncommon Grounds by Sandra Balzo
This was an impulse moment because of it's funny title. So, good bye, I release you to find a more fulfilling relationship with another.
Shadow Hand by Elisabeth Stengl
This was a "oh, what a pretty cover" moment. But as I flip through the pages, the story seems a little dull. So I'm using my hand to send it to the shadows of my unhauling.
Thrush Green by Miss Read
This was a pressure moment. Someone I know loved these books by Miss Read, and I was like, "Um, sure, I'll read one". But one quick flip and it's easy to see it's not really my jam, so bye-bye little purple book.
Satan At St. Mary's by Paul Doherty
Besides the funny title, I'm just not going to read this book. Ever. So, thou are released to find a better destiny then collecting dust on mine shelf.
Artifact by Gigi Pandian
This was an impulse. I don't read mysteries in the volume I used to, so I'm saying farewell.
Nutty as a Fruitcake by Mary Daheim
Yet another mystery. Funny title, cute cover, but I'm never going to get to this one. I just have so many other books I want to read.
Murder at Breakers by Alyssa Maxwell
I don't even remember getting this one!
So I think it's safe to say I'm no longer interested . . .Sayonara.
Well this ends my unhauling. Stay tuned for more of my crazy bookish life.
Happy reading!!
