I give away many books and also put them in my classroom library. Still, there's always more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-75445710301809068192014-09-01T11:59:19.733-04:002014-09-01T11:59:19.733-04:00The worst part about having a lot of books is when...The worst part about having a lot of books is when you move ! I am on a diet so can't eat comfort book. I have found that books can be comfort reads! I give ways and sell the books after I have read them. I have been trhough the books that I keep after I have read them about 10 time so not doing that anymore. Would love to have a room like Hart Johnson talks about! We live in a small apartment so just have three small bookcases.

I REALLY want a room that is built in book selves ALL THE WAY around (except for a fireplace on one side and french doors to a patio on the other)... Nice comfy chair in a corner to read and a big old fashioned writing desk on another. I only KEEP books that really touch me (or have some other history for me--like I have a bunch of family books), but I pick up 'to read' books all the time, so probably have hundreds I intend to get to.Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-59704619345295253342014-09-01T11:26:27.028-04:002014-09-01T11:26:27.028-04:00I have a hard time getting rid of books.

I tend to read at least half of my books on my Kindle, so that has helped cut down on the size of the TBR stack - at least the "real" one. For the virtual TBR stack, the sky's the limit.
