The Culling of the Beloveds
The semi-occasional-not-quite-annual cull of the bookcases has begun. First pass netted 18 novels. This.... barely even made a dent.
(the rule for fiction is: if I haven't read it in a year and have lost interest, it goes. It I read it and felt no desire to read more of the author's work, it goes. If I read it and loved it but haven't touched in it several years/won't reread it any time soon... it probably needs to find a new home.)
If anyone's interest 'shopping' in the culled list when I'm done, drop me a line.
EtA: up to 42 books, one of which was a duplication and two were galleys. Also determined that the first printing hardcovers of Elizabeth Lynn's "Dancers" trilogy and my much-battered, much-read copies of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit go nowhere.
Also, this will leave my possession when someone pries it out of my cold, dead fingers (or offers me a boatload of money for it):
In very good condition, with color plates. There's no copyright page, but the inscription on the flyleaf reads 1933.
