Book Un-haul: June 2016

Today I have a post I've been meaning to put together for quite a while now. Several months ago I reorganized my book shelves. I have already featured a tour of my main living-room shelf and have two more that need to be photographed and posted. I will get to those, but first I wanted to share a bunch of books I have decided to get rid of.

Unfortunately I won't be able to send any of them away due to the outrageous postage costs, so I will be donating the whole pile to my local library.

Here are the books I will be parting with:

This first picture is of books I have read, but didn't like for various reasons, most of which I couldn't connect with. I gave each of these a 2.5 rating or less and one of these books I decided to DNF. I don't have any plans of re-reading any of these titles.

1. Tiger: A Story of Vengeance and Survival by John Vaillant
2. The Little Giant of Aberdeen County by Tiffany Baker
3. A Tiny Bit of Marvellous by Dawn French
4. The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger
5. The Time is Now by Pauline McLynn (DNF)
6. Never on a Sundae by Wendy Markham 

         I enjoyed reading this first book, but don't plan on re-reading it.

1. Tapestry (Werner Family Saga #3) by Belva Plain 
   
   The second book I DNF'ed because I couldn't get into the story or its characters.
2. The Shipping News by Annie Proulx
   
   The third book is a discard from my partner
3. Conan the Defender by Robert Jordan
   
   Books 4 &5 were given to me by a friend, but their plots don't interest me. 
4. Born to Die (To Die, #3) by Lisa Jackson
5. Smash Cut (Mitchell and Associates #1) by Sandra Brown
   
   I have a much nicer hardcover copy of book 6. 
6. The Da Vinci Code (Robert Langdon #2) by Dan Brown
   

I wasn't interested in any of these books with the exception of Angels and Demons, which is a duplicate copy. 

1. The Panic Zone (Jack Gannon #2) by Rick Mofina
2. True Blue by David Baldacci 
3. Angels and Demons (Robert Langdon, #1) by Dan Brown
4. Charade by Sandra Brown
5. The Body Farm (Kay Scarpetta, #5) by Patricia Cornwell 
6. Lethal by Sandra Brown

The first three books in this picture didn't interest me and the last book I've read several times. 

1. Bone Cold by Erica Spindler
2. Deeper than the Dead (Oak Knoll #1) by Tami Hoag 
3. Tell Me No Secrets by Joy Fielding 
4. The Virgin Suicides by Jeffery Eugenides
   

And these last three books are ones I have read by didn't love and don't plan on reading again.

1. Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky 
2. The Postmistress by Sarah Blake
3. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
