Although sometimes I write in books as I read them, many I read so gently they look as if they have not been touched. So, for birthdays and the holidays I "shop my shelves" and see if I have the perfect book for the receipient. Last Christmas I weeded out over 30 books. .-= Kim´s last blog ..Kindle Didn’t Start a Fire =-.

I am slowly weeding out my library. My goal is to only keep the books I want to re-read and the books I have yet to read but want to. My husband, surprisingly, is having more trouble with letting go of books than I am. I imagine when we start packing for our move (which is still up in the air) we'll really get down to business. .-= Literary Feline´s last blog ..Review: The Last Dickens by Matthew Pearl (& A Giveaway) =-.

I am pretty bad at weeding through my books but I suppose once it gets to where I have no more space, I won't have a choice. I currently have five bookshelves and they're pretty much full but I guess I could always cram more in there. .-= Stephanie´s last blog ..Book Review: College Girl =-.

Sounds like you might be quite ruthless with your books! Not as sentimental as some

I used to keep all my books except for the ones I absolutely hated, but I don't have the space any more. It would be nice if I did, though.... .-= heidenkind´s last blog ..Leonardo da Vinci Mystery =-.

I've always liked giving away my books, but have a lot of trouble just weeding them out and giving them to Goodwill or something. My library doesn't accept book donations, unfortunately, or I'd be keeping their shelves supplied! I guess it makes a big difference to me to know that the book will actually get read - when I give a book away to a friend or fellow reader, I know it will get read. When I give it away to Goodwill or something similar, I have all these doubts. I also find I don't need to keep certain books by favourite authors anymore, so I have far less "keepers". I think its because ever since I started blogging, I'm realizing that there will always be more fabulous books on the horizon to be read and loved! .-= Belle´s last blog ..Thanksgiving Feast, The Beatles, and a Head Cold =-.

I have trouble letting go of books, but they're starting to take over, so I will have to get rid of some soon. I think I'll take some to my in-laws' beach condo. .-= Kathy´s last blog ..Against Medical Advice winners! =-.

Initially it feels difficult. Once you start giving out, it doesn't! Booking Through Weeding .-= gautami tripathy´s last blog ..Booking through weeding =-.
