2023 TBR Declutter Challenge - hosted by buggy

A book someone else purchased for you.
Not every book recommendation can be spot on.

If you pick one up and realize it doesn't interest you, get rid of it! (Just tell your aunt you're still planning to get around to it eventually... :) )
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.
