Today’s post is going to be quite different.  Today’s post is going to be an eBook unhaul, yes you read that right eBook unhaul.  You might be asking yourself what is an eBook unhaul, well an eBook unhaul is when you go through your eReader for me it’s a Nook Tablet and you delete books that you’ve come to the realization that you’re never going to read, books that you’ve already read with no intention of ever rereading them and essentially freeing up wasted space.  The books have also been removed from my Goodreads account.  Books that I have read will be marked with an *asterisk. 

All the books were purchased with my own money, were acquired legally for free, or downloaded for free from Project Gutenberg.

Here are the books that I’ve unhauled from my Nook:
*The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
*The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
Aesop’s Fables by Aesop
The Complete Hesiod Collection by Hesiod
The Complete Aeschylus Collection by Aeschylus
Euripides by Euripides
The Complete Plays of Sophocles by Sophocles
Children of the Dawn: Old Tales of Greece
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
*Hesiod the Homeric Hymns by Hesiod
The History of Herodotus by Herodotus
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
*The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson
*Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson
Vengeance Road by Erin Bowman
*The Crown by Keira Cass
The Dark Days Club by Alison Goodman
*Mirror in the Sky by Aditi Khorana

Now that summer is finally here, I thought it would be fun to share some books that I think would make great Beach Reads.  These are books that I own, and haven’t read yet.  Some of them are eBooks and some are traditional print. 

On my Nook, I can create different shelves and add books to them, exactly like you can do with Goodreads.  On my Nook, I created a shelf and titled it Beach Reads. 

On my Nook Shelf:
Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett
They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera
Again, but Better by Christine Riccio
With The Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo
Alex, Approximately by Jenn Bennett
A Thousand Perfect Notes by C.G. Drews

Traditional Print:
Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson
Ana of California by Andi Teran
Rabbit: The Autobiography of Ms. Pat by Patricia Williams
The Color Project by Sierra Abrams
Pride by Ibi Zoboi
