Donating Gifts

[the_broken_tower]

I decided to send a gifted book off to a Little Free Library without reading it.

This was hard, because I try to read gifted books even if I'm not interested in them, out of respect to the person who gifted it.

There were some things that made the decision easier. It's part of a series, and there is no interest or energy for new series right now. It's a genre that I don't like, and the summary online is a checklist of things I do not want to be reading about. And, the person who gifted it has a habit of ignoring when other people don't share her interests, and is currently giving me the silent treatment for setting a boundary. :/ This book is in the 'gifted by an asshole' category.

So I'm not under an emotional or social obligation to read it. Goodbye book. May you find another reader who appreciates your story.
