Good job cleaning some books out. I did something similar and found that I had stuff on my TBR that had been there 20 years that I still hadn't got around to reading. Out the door with them! In defense of Charles de Lint, I think his strong books were the Newford short stories, which were some of the first urban fantasy written and he really helped to popularize it. I don't know that they've held up all that well because so many people have taken that idea and run with it, but his stories are the stones they stand upon. In agreement, Possession might be a classic but I didn't like it either. For a literary classic it's so full of ridiculous eye-rolling melodrama. I read the whole thing and wish I hadn't.
I haven't done an unhaul in a while, but I think my spouse and I are going to take a weekend to go through our book collection to see if there is anything that both of us want to donate
Book unhauling is a great idea for the start of the year. Someone gifted me the invisible library. I haven't read it yet. I'm always feel a bit under pressure from gifted books 😅
♥♥♥
Yay! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year 😊
And to you!!
Peepeepoopoo ❤
Poo
Rather than unhauling I just started putting books on top of the shelf 🤣
We're all going to have to accept the "hoarder" label eventually haha

I used to SUCK at book unhauling but I'm slooowly getting better. Don't let anybody pressure you!
Making space for better books!!
That's what I keep telling myself haha
Nothing like unhauling at the beginning of the year. Can’t wait to see what you replace them with 🫶🏽
It's like a hydra, each book you cut off will be replaced with at least two new ones....
