    @DarkMatterZine@mastodon.social @kimlockhartga@beige.party @bookstodon@a.gup.pe 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@mastodon.social @kimlockhartga@beige.party @bookstodon@a.gup.pe 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@mastodon.social @kimlockhartga@beige.party @bookstodon@a.gup.pe 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@mastodon.social @kimlockhartga@beige.party @bookstodon@a.gup.pe 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.
