Take the first 5 (or 10 if you’re feeling adventurous) books
Read the synopses of the books
Decide: keep it or should it go?
My shelf has gone down one to 1152.
This week’s books:
1916 by Morgan Llywelyn – KEEP. This book is set during the Irish Rebellion, a part of History that I’ve been interested in learning more about since the very brief discussion about it in an English Literature course I took in college.
Little Boy Lost by Marghanita Laski – GO. The synopsis on Goodreads isn’t inspiring any interest in reading this book.
The Return of the Indian, The Secret of the Indian, and The Mystery of the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks – KEEP. I never finished this series when I was a kid, only having read the first 2 books, and I re-read the first book, The Indian in the Cupboard, a few years ago.
Breakfast with Socrates by Robert Rowland Smith- KEEP. The Goodreads synopsis says that the author applies different philosophical ideas to the everyday, mundane activities of life. I think this will be a fun and interesting book.
Wideacre by Philippa Gregory – GO. Another non-inspiring synopsis. I think I’ll stick to Gregory’s later novels.
My want-to-read shelf is now down to 1150 books. I honestly didn’t think I’d get rid of any books this week, but instead, I got rid of two! The next post will be filled with yet more of the physical books I own.
