Weeding Library Collections: Library Weeding Methods | Stanley J. Slote

Last night, on a whim, I went through my bookshelves and did a purge. I tried to be brutally honest about books I will likely never read, didn‘t like when I read them, or will likely never return to. The result is the removal of these 250 books. #bookpurge

Redwritinghood Wow! Good job! 👍🏻👍🏻 5y

mreads Now you've got room for new books 😁👍 5y

TheSpineView So hard, but sometimes hard choices lead to good things. 5y

My goal for the year is to read 50 books from my physical shelves. In the first month I‘ve read 11, for a total of 20 books read this month! The only reason I‘m thankful to live in Michigan is for #snowdays #teacher #booklove #bookpurge Now, into some non-fic!

In honor of the #reversereadathon & a brilliant idea from @swishandflick I'm starting a series of #thisorthatgiveaway (s) as part of a massive #bookpurge. I have more books than I could read in my lifetime; plus I keep getting distracted by more. So, I'm purging the ones that I've read, will never read, have bailed on, or have duplicates of.
First, are books by 2 of my favorite authors. Comment below THIS or THAT. I'll pick 2 winners Sun 9pm EST.

BookwormAHN The Douglas Preston books please. Thanks for the chance 😺 6y

AmyG This! I have never read any of his books. Thank you so much. 6y

Karkar Oh these are both good authors. I think I would go with That. 6y

Chrys I understand the need to sometimes purge books you realize you won‘t read to make room for new interests. I would be a THAT, as I haves enjoyed what I‘ve read by him and am getting my 15 yr old into him now 😀. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity 6y
