I agree. You cannot have too many books. Well, you can, but who cares? Some you'll probably never read, but who knows? Others you may read again. Go for it. If I was up thataway I'd meet you there!
When I moved to my new place, I had 14 boxes of books that I gave to a local charity that does a huge book sale once a year. I'm not sure how I accumulated so many books but, I looking at the shelves in my new place, I still have quite a lot that I couldn't part with.
We have shelves packed with older books that we've resolved to thin down and give to the library for its book sales. I keep approaching, then retreating. And it hasn't helped that I also attend the book sales ($1 a bag! Who can resist?!).
It's a wonderful habit to be addicted to books. But I have decided to let the libraries have them and store them and dust them and keep them healthy and crisp so I still have the ability to enjoy them.
HAHA books do count, but have fun anyway.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to some images from the sale.

ReplyDeleteBooks are invisible and they float where they are no one's way. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou could hold a book swap at your home.....naw you would never let anyone out the door with your books!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for my bank account and shelves that I'm nowhere near St Paul!
ReplyDeleteI know, it's an addiction... I am trying hard with ebooks, but it's not the same!
ReplyDeleteBook sales are always mandatory.

ReplyDeleteA book sale would definitely draw me in!
ReplyDeleteDownsizing books? Anathema! If I lived closer I'd be at the sale too.
ReplyDeleteGo for it!
