* = originally was placed in the keep pile upon finish, but over time I became more and more uncomfortable with how patriotic the characters were, so I decided to put it in the donate pile.
** = I owned two copies of Enders, one with the dust cover and one without. I’m donating the one without a dust cover
^ - I don’t own a physical copy of Dracula, but if I did, I would’ve opted to keep it.
^^ - I don’t own a physical copy of these three, and if I did, I would’ve only kept them so that I could have the entire series with me, not because I actually enjoyed them very much.
