[READ it or UNHAUL it \| tackling my overconsumption with 500+ books](https://children-of-diaspora.binderybooks.com/item/aLkcamsdJZUAGwxWadi8/)

Book collecting and book reading are two different hobbies but with over 500 books, it's starting to feel out of hand. I've read about 60% of my physical TBR and I want to get through more of them so today we're starting with my poetry collection.

I was inspired by these Read it or Unhaul it videos by Emmie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB2J8Zy4aXI and Hal Jones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPtu2Z9j2YQ
