A Summertime Unhaul

I’m officially out of room on my tbr shelf. It’s time for summertime unhaul. It’s getting hard to clear down my shelf. A lot of these books were books I expected to love at one time. Some of them I’ve dnfed and just held onto hoping that they would stick someday. And some of them I haven’t even started but ultimately lost interest in. I want to make room on my shelf for books that I’m super excited about. So here we go.

Anno Dracula

I’ve had this Anno Dracula for literally years. I haven’t made it past page ten so it’s time for it to go.

Pet Sematary

I will probably read Pet Sematary one day, but not right now. I’ve heard it’s a great exploration of grief. Honestly, I don’t want to go down that rabbit hole right now, even if it is packaged as a horror novel.

Reckless Girls

I loved The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins, but for some reason I have no interest in picking Reckless Girls up. Vacation settings to tropical islands aren’t usually my vibe, so it just doesn’t draw me in.

The Goldfinch

I bought The Goldfinch minutes after reading The Secret History. But honestly, I don’t even remember what it’s about. I just don’t have the energy to devote to this massive book right now.

The Atlas Six

I dnfed The Atlas Six I honestly think I burned myself out on dark academia for now. It just felt too similar to other books I have read. It didn’t have anything extra to keep me hooked.

Hester

Hester just was not what I expected. I had set the bar so high for this one and it ultimately let me down. I dnfed it pretty early on.

Hang the Moon

I selected Hang the Moon in my BOTM box a few months ago. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have bought this one if I had found it at a store.

So that was my summertime unhaul. What have you unhauled recently?
