In case you missed the five hundred times I talked about it, I recently moved. It was a big move — all the way from New Jersey to Tennessee, or about 800 miles. I had already done a huge unhaul a few months ago but still ended up bringing about five big boxes of books with me. When I got here, though, and was given the opportunity to trade in some books for cash, I made some hard decisions. Was I really going to read all of those books? Probably not.
Hence, The Great Book Unhaul of 2019, Part Two. Otherwise known as Books I’ve Recently Removed From My TBR. I am a little bit sad to say that I did not keep track of all of the books I got rid of. It wasn’t as many as earlier this year, but it was still a big pile!
I’m not including books I got rid of that I’ve already read on this list. This is just books that I bought that, for whatever reason, I don’t think I’m actually ever going to read.

Nothing against any of these books, of course! I think I probably would have enjoyed a lot of them if I’d actually sat down to read them. But most of these were cheap impulse buys (or I got them for free) and they just weren’t anywhere near the top of my TBR. I’m just telling myself that I can always check them out from the library if I really get a burning desire to read them.
I’d like to say this is the last big unhaul for a while, but my next pile is already started.
What are some books you’ve removed from your TBR? Have you done any big unhauls recently? Let’s talk in the comments!

I adore the feeling of finally admitting I’m not going to read a book. I got rid of only four books from my tbr earlier this year and even that felt great.
I hope your move went well!

Thank you! It was the biggest move I’ve done by myself by far, but it went really well. And honestly, taking any number of books off your TBR feels great!

I’ve been getting rid of a lot of books recently too! But then I also find ones that I’d forgotten about and realize that I still want to read and my TBR pile gets longer (even though the book was there anyways, somehow). I’ve read a few of those on your list, and if you like fairy tale-inspired stories you may want to reconsider Spinning Silver. It was one of the best books I’ve read this year.

That’s great to hear! I can always get it from the library. 😊

Good for you. I am trying to do the same, but I always seem to buy more books than I get rid of. (sigh)

Me too. I got a few new books last week myself. At least I’m clearing up a little space.
