The stacks of books languished and grew in my library as I transitioned from videos back to the blog and did not know how I would format an hual post as opposed to a video. I definitely won’t say that I have come anywhere close to figuring out a final format but I need to get these books out of my house.
I have divided the piles into categories like before. Some of the reasons to get rid of the book are self-explanatory while some will have accompanying explanation.
Duplicates
Five of these I purchased special editions of, one of which came in a regular monthly subscription. The Will of the Many came from either Goldsboro or Broken Binding. A Sorceress Comes to Call came in a monthly Owlcrate box while I purchased the Darker Shades of Magic trilogy from Owlcrate to match their Fragile Threads of Power edition which I purchased last year. The other two duplicates were accidents on my part. I purchased a copy of The Dark Becomes Her from Barnes and Nobel during their post-Christmas sale both online and in store. Whoops. As far as Punished for Dreaming, I discovered the second copy while cataloguing my books. I have no idea how I acquired the second copy.
TBR Unhaul – Series
I mentioned in my series update post that I had gotten rid of the rest of the series that I started pre-BookTube. Technically, these books are still in my house but at least I have them packed up and ready to go.
Read and Rated <4 Stars – Regular Edition
I have reviews of all of these either on Storygraph, or in the case of the DNFs, here on the blog.
Read and Rated <4 stars – Book of the Month
Read and Rated <4 stars – Book Box Books
Gorgeous design does not make up for shortcomings in the text, unfortunately. Later this year I plan to do a book box audit and will discuss the above books and what they belong to there.
Technically, I have a stack of nonfiction picked up years ago at the Really Good, Really Big, Really Cheap book sale years ago, but I did not see that sack until after I had packed up all the books since I had not put that stack with the rest of the unhaul piles. Never fear. They will make an appearance in the next unhaul.
