Verity Books | Clearing Out Bad Romance Books | Purging My Shelves #3 @VerityBooks | Uploaded February 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I'm taking advantage of the Valentine season to clean out the romance books on my shelves and decide which ones get to stay!

Also my lovely cat, Eliot, does show up during the Dear John section so....do with that information what you will.
