AN IDEA FOR BETTER OR WORSE – ok

I read an article in the newspaper this morning. An author wrote that he decided NOT to keep all his books on a shelf. Instead he chose to leave his books all over! Other people could read and enjoy them. I am thinking of doing the same as I have hundreds of books. I think that by getting rid of a few at a time I wouldn’t have so many to get rid of when and if we ever decide to move. However I am not sure if I would miss my books and be sorry. So I will think on it for awhile longer.
I could start with the books in my parenting section………………
I could start with some self-help books which aren’t helping me…….
I could start with romance fiction that I bought at used book stores………Decisions? Decisions?
I will keep you posted.
Years ago I weeded out my books on the HOLOCAUST and my Mandingo collection. I am still sorry!
BUT BUT when we do move I will have to leave most of them here or get rid of them so should I start before?
I would LOVE to leave a note in the book asking people who read the book to let me know that they read and enjoyed it. Maybe, just maybe, I could set up a separate email account strictly for this purpose. So what do y’all think?

I think that books are becoming obsolete and soon won’t be a nesesity like they were when you were in school. I would just take them to a used book store and see if they would buy them or give you a store credit.

That’s a wonderful idea, to put a note like that in the books!! Yep, you could open a separate email account. I think it is great to give things away. It cuts down on the clutter you have and gives some enjoyment to others. :o) !! And then you have an excuse for buying more books! hugs, Weesprite
