First Quarterly Cull of 2016

Part of having a Richer Reading Life is doing quarterly culls. If I wasn't excited about it, won't be rereading it, couldn't remember why I bought it, or what it was about it, it was going.

I will absolutely keep things I’ve read and loved. I take a while to reread my favorites because I have a long memory but I’m fierce about the books I love. Armada went to a guy I saw in my building. The Fault in Our Stars, We’re Just Like You Only Prettier, and one other book went to my building’s lounge. Simon’s Cat, The Atrocity Archives, and one other title went to the little free library in the organic market behind our building. Everything else went to the library.
