Most of mine now are on kindle, if its a history book (my other passion I keep it normally) everything else charity shops or to my mum if she wants to read it
Take back to the library. Some bought ones i keep or take to bootsale to sell some to charity shop or leave some by a bin for people to help themselves.
Charity shop – or pass on to friends and family. Many I keep if I think there’s a chance I might reread. I would never, ever, throw a book away – that’s sacrilege. They are special objects – even if they aren’t to my taste.
depends: The french book stay home and are lent to 3 different family members who live in small villages. The English books I either keep, send to Goodwill or to church for their Bazaars.
I give crime books away to my nephew, unless they’re particularly outstanding and then I keep them. Other books, it depends. If it’s a nice hardback copy, then I’ll usually keep it or if it’s a book I love and will want to read again. Similarly with my Persephone books. They’re collectors items, so I definitely keep all of those. Non-crime books I don’t want to keep, I’ll give to the secondhand bookshop at the National Trust property where I volunteer.
I keep mine. I don’t think I could give them away. It’s like giving away part of me. Plus I love hording books. Dreaming of an awesome library one day ?

I try and pass on too
Pass them on to my mom and when she is done anyone else who may want them. Very rarely do I keep a book.

Pass them on, charity shop, or swap library. Don’t keep them as it’s very rare for me to read a book a second time.
