Losing Weight

Yeah, I've lost about 35 pounds, but that's not what I'm talking about. Over the last month, I have removed almost 200 books from my TBR.

First I went page by page through my Wnat-to-read list on Goodreads and Marie Kondo'd the list. There were a bunch of books I couldn't remember why I added, and others I decided I was no longer interested in.

Then, yesterday, I went through my shelves of unread books and pulled a bunch of them that I no longer want to read. I made piles of them, took pictures of the stacks, and removed each book from my Goodreads shelf. (side note: I only found 2 duplicate copies. And only one of those was a surprise.)

There is actual room on my shelves. No shelf is double stacked. I feel so free!

Now I just have to tackle my read shelves. Sigh
