This may be a controversial discussion topic, but next week I'm embarking on a major inventory (and declutter) of all my physically owned books and I have a slight quandary so would love to get other peoples opinions.

Normally, if there's a book I own but don't feel the need to keep I donate it to charity or drop it into a little free library. It's easy enough to do and gives others a chance to discover books they may not have otherwise known about OR been able to afford. But I also own some books that I don't feel right sharing in any way, including LFLs, because they promote bigotry. In particular, I'm thinking about the Racist Wizard Books by The Infamous Terf. I received all the books as gifts when I was a kid and am sick of having them in my house, but I also don't want to further their reach by adding more into circulation. To be clear: this isn't about censorship (if you want to read them that's your choice) but about not wanting to personally put them into someone else's hands.

So the question: How do you get rid of books you own, but ethically hate and don't want to help circulate?

Are you ahead, on track or behind on your reading goals this year? I’m 6 books behind because a few rough months and now a book has 2.5 pages to hook me or I’m pausing and trying a new one. I love it though it’s fun for me and is helping me rearrange the monthly plan I made on here based on the vibe I get from the first few pages of the books I’m trying.
