Hello Book lovers!
As some of you know, I’m not a person who likes to keep all my books. In fact, I have two rules when it comes to books I will keep in my bookshelf:
- Did I not only like, but REALLY like this book?
- Will I realistically re-read this book within the next few years?
If any of those questions get a NO from me, it’s going out. Since about half of what I read is on Kindle, my bookshelf doesn’t actually represent all the stuff I read. And YET, there’s so many books in it already! We’re not lacking space but I want to prevent hoarding books, so better start now than when I have no space whatsoever.
Also, I like the idea of someone else discovering the book I read and loving it. I live in Germany at the moment, and there are quite a few immigrants in the city, but not as many options for English books as I’d like, especially in the YA section. I found life-changing books in the library when I was a teen, and some of those brought me so much consolation and made me feel understood – books I’d never have picked up otherwise. And in such an important and formative part of my life.
So I believe it’s REALLY important to have a good YA section!
Wow, that was a long introduction. Here are the books I’m giving away:
- Aventurine: Das Mädchen mit dem Drachen, by Stephanie Burgis
- A Touch of Crimson, by Sylvia Day
- How to be a woman, by Caitlin Moran
- Lab Girl: A story of trees, science and love, by Hope Jahren
- The 9th Life of Louis Drax, by Liz Jensen
- The Italian Teacher, by Tom Rachman
- The Other Boleyn Girl, by Philippa Gregory
- Big Little Lies, by Liane Moriarty
- The Lonely Hearts Hotel, by Heather O’Neill
Lucky library. I have enjoyed many of these titles.

Good for you, and for those who will be able to read the books because of you!

Not really, since it seems they didn’t really put my books in their shelves… for some reason

It is wonderful that you are donating those to the local library, especially since there aren’t a lot of books in English available there.
