Good Monday morning everyone. Its that time of the month where I show what books I am unhauling this month. I had so much success last year unhauling books that I thought I would continue this again for 2016.
I decided way back in January (2015) that I wanted to document how many books I was giving away each month to see if I was making any kind of dent in my book collection.
I know last year I probably brought in more then I was actually giving away so this year I am trying to be cautious with my book buying and I am giving myself a budget each time I go shopping in hopes that it will curb my spending.
So each month I will be posting about what books I am unhauling and then another monthly post will be what books I physically bought in the month.
Are you a constant book buyer? Can you resist buying books on a weekly bases? Please tell me I am not alone in this?
I am gradually going through the bookcases and the many boxes that I have stored in the basement and doing a purge because this summer with fingers crossed we will get the basement finally renovated and I can purchase new bookcases and set up a library down there. So over the next few months I am expecting larger unhaulings.
Take a look at what I unhauled this month:
(Unless otherwise noted these are books I have read and I am passing them along to another book loving home.)
- Star Darlings: Tessa’s Lost & Found #9
- The All Girl Filling Station’s Last Reunion by Fannie Flagg
- No Love Allowed by Kate Evangelista
- Homeroom Diaries by James Patterson
So for May I am releasing 4 books this month. I am thinking I might have unhauled a few books that I didn’t get the chance to document 🙁 I am usually more on top of these things. I guess May was a busy month for me.
- Total for 2016 is 67
- Total for 2015 is 211
I plan to go through some of my books in the next few weeks and send them up to Carl’s family when he goes to visit.
Its nice sharing books with friends and family isn’t it?
Oh thats really cool, I need to be able to get rid of the books I own. There are too many. Proud of you indeed.
I think that is one thing I am good at doing is passing on books but it seems like I get more then I give away LOL I know I have way to many and I need to do something about it. Thanks so much every little bit helps
