    My philosophy when trying to purge: if you’re on the fence about it, then go ahead and unhaul it. Because unless there is a specific reason to read it like a readathon or challenge, you’re very unlikely to ever pick it up.

      Good philosophy! I usually look through my tbr pile and if I haven't been picking up a book and I feel guilty about it...then I usually think it is time to unhaul (unless as you said there is a reason to keep it).

    Joe Abercrombie tends to write dark, disturbing books that include torture and gore. I haven't tried Half a King, but I tried one of his other books, and it was gruesome with unlikeable characters. I couldn't finish it. It wasn't the kind of thing I wanted stuck in my head.

Same with Catcher in the Rye, I love it but pretty sure you won’t like it. Lots of language. I love Amor Towles. He’s right up there with F. Scott Fitzgerald as a favorite author of mine.

    Here's my two cents.... We Hope for Better Things by Erin Bartels is a wonderful read. I think that you should give it a try if you haven't already gotten rid of it. Also, The Moonlight School is similar to The Librarian of Boone's Hollow by Kim Vogel Sawyer, if you liked that one, you may like The Moonlight School as well.

    I liked The Moonlight School. It's about a literacy program for mountain people back when. It's not my favorite Suzanne Woods Fiction book but I really did like it.
    I DNF'd Child from the Sea. BORING. Could not get into it.
    I rank Amy Lynn Greene's as: Things We Didn't Say, then The Blackout Book Club, and then The Lines Between Us.
    A Name Unknown--that Shadows over England series is the precursor to The Codebreakers... sort of. I really loved books 2 and 3 in that series and liked A Name Unknown (it was sappier than the others if I recall correctly). Book two was GREAT though. #BecauseMargo. She was awesome (and the protagonist of The Code of Love or whatever that's called). That said, I really don't think you'll enjoy A Name Unknown.
    I've got To the Lighthouse and hoping for better things because I'm not a fan of Woolf either.
    Yawn... Catcher in the Rye. Maybe I should retry it. I did NOT like it before.
    Gatsby... blech.
    I LOVE Understood Betsy!!!
    I really loved Bird by Bird. My mom did NOT (I thought she did, but I was wrong!)
    Under the Bayou Moon is one I'm eager to read. I talked to Valerie about it and it sounds so good but I think it could turn out to be like Edge of Belonging good or more southern women's fiction good. I can't tell which. One I think you'd like. The other, not. LOL.

    If you do decide to read Red Rising, I will be very interested in your thoughts! The majority of people seem to love it and it absolutely baffles me! It is incredibly poorly written. Not to mention, the “plot” is mostly just children doing really horrible things to each other (or planning how to do so), and almost every character is unlikable, and not in a good way lol. One of the worst books I have ever read. 😅

Anna karenina although she is the title character is actually set up as the example of who we should not be in her relationship ship with vronsky. They are a tale of the pitfalls of idolatry. Levin and kitty however are a beautiful story and such an antidote to the title character. Martin Cochran of memoria press once called it the greatest Christian novel... don't know if I would call it that but it is beautiful and shows stories of redemption and beauty and also the opposite. Love it!!! Absolutely recommend. ❤❤
