@DarkMatterZine@kimlockhartga@bookstodon I can’t seem to get rid of any. I had two that I was determined to donate but then I thought one is getting a sequel and what if I need to skim it before I read the sequel? And the other one might be fun for Christmas. So I brought them right back home.
@jillrhudy@kimlockhartga@bookstodon I never thought there was any such thing as “too many books” until I started reviewing. Since then I’ve given away a few thousand $ of books at least, in many directions. However, I keep the ones I absolutely love or those I consider “significant” for some reason. And those I’m trying to force myself to read to eviscerate in a blog about ableist authors. That’s my “yuck” pile.
@DarkMatterZine@kimlockhartga@bookstodon I rarely get print ARCs unless to pass along for library book club consideration, because I have no idea what I would do with them all! I just get dARCs on my Kindle.
@jillrhudy@kimlockhartga@bookstodon I get both. I never even try with Edelweiss because in my experience it doesn’t work. I hate Netgalley because it’s too much effort then they remove the books at arbitrary deadlines while demanding reviews before I’ve finished. For ebooks, I want them emailed to me. I can read paper but not how you think. So it’s complicated.
@kimlockhartga@bookstodon Don’t just hope, go and talk to them. Often libraries are influenced by requests. The more requests for a specific book, the more likely they are to buy it.
Also cough it’s possible it will become a banned book, which may mean it’ll be available electronically via certain libraries working to subvert book bans.
