2023 TBR Declutter Challenge - hosted by buggy

A short book
Again, defined by you! These have a way of sneaking their way onto shelves because of their comparably low time commitment... don't fall for it (too many times). :)

If you pick one up and realize it doesn't interest you, get rid of it! 
Continue to do this until you've found one you're actually interested in investing several hours of your life into, or until you no longer own a book that fits this prompt.
