I have provided many worthy books to friends and neighbors and to libraries in the area, but there are still books in boxes up to the ceiling! I'm looking forward to our wall of books in our new house.

I'm not planning on moving any time soon, but I've decided to clean out a lot of the two rooms full of books I have in the bedrooms our kids no longer use. If I do move again, it will be a bit lighter!Karen McCulloughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15709823258020421437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079931541460049406.post-13440575667588236212018-01-25T07:36:57.430-08:002018-01-25T07:36:57.430-08:00I share your love and possession of books! We'...I share your love and possession of books! We're at the stage where I'm trying to get rid of everything I don't use or need to simplify life. I look at the walls of books in our house and my husband looks at them too. We both know some of them have to go, but whose? I think his German philosophy books from college (in German, of course) should be the next victims. His look in response tells me that's not going to happen. He suggests my collection of beloved classics or better yet, the romances. Yes, I could part with some, especially since they'd go to the local library for their book fair and have a new life elsewhere, but my favorites? Never!Deborah M.

For us, too, books took up a lot of boxes. They were the old friends who couldn't be left behind. Best of luck in your new home. BTW, love the cover of your bookSandy Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824301408180614516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079931541460049406.post-65699012674744275012018-01-25T05:22:46.541-08:002018-01-25T05:22:46.541-08:00Leigh, I admire you and your husband for hauling a...Leigh, I admire you and your husband for hauling around all of those books, but I can understand. I most of my books during Katrina, but have already accumulated way too many even though I read a lot on my Kindle. It's hard to get rid of a good book. I admire you for the effort.Fran McNabbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193141285229214245noreply@blogger.com
