Aussie Readers discussion

I want to focus on reducing the number of double-layer shelves in my bookcases this year. To start with, I'm planning to read:

Jean Harley Was Here 4★
Blue Dragon 3★
The Whole Bright Year 2★
Eve Out of Her Ruins 3★
Buttertea at Sunrise: A Year in the Bhutan Himalaya 3★
Stasiland: Stories from Behind the Berlin Wall
Pomegranate Soup
Doña Nicanora's Hat Shop 2★
The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu 2★
A Guide to Berlin 4★
The Palace of Illusions
The Great Alone
The Orphan Master's Son
My Last Continent 4★

Great idea Andrea! Some good titles there. Good Luck :)

Good luck Andrea :)

I concur with Carolyn, love the idea! All the best with it Andrea. :) xo

I wasn’t totally successful, but I got rid of a few. Probably just replaced them, to be honest!

A book read is a book read, Andrea! I think it's a very worthy aim, to reduce the unread books on your shelves. Unfortunately during the year I've had to face the fact that I am pathological when it comes to aquiring more books! At least most of them I've bought second hand from the library, who sell their surplus titles for 50c each, so I haven't spent as much on books that are sitting unread on my shelves! Best of luck for 2020!

LOL thanks Sarah. I’m a big fan of secondhand, too, so at least it doesn’t hurt the bank balance too much. Just takes up a lot of room on the shelves.
