Book Love.
Okay, so we’re packing up our house to sell and move. I took 12 – TWELVE – boxes full of books to donate to our local library – good quality kids and adult fiction. Our local library will shelf those donations that are appropriate for the lending area, and sell the rest for fundraising efforts. It’s nice to know that others will love them as much as we have. These twelve books barely scratched the surface of our book holdings, but we can’t part with the rest. Plus, I have new books coming that I ordered online.
Thankfully, our new house has several built in bookshelves.
Is there anything better than the feeling of opening a new book?
I think the only thing better will be opening a new book in a nice book-reading spot in our new house.
Once I get a picture of said spot, I’ll share it with you; so stay posted!
~Thanks!

Amen to that, Rebecca. Brave of you to thin out what you were able.
I can never move again because my books must go with me. Four years ago, I moved around 65 boxes or so. I would need a lot more now and cannot cull any.
Wow. You have even me beaten. You need this: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=588548241173825&set=a.267253143303338.78332.239074532787866&type=1&theater
Be careful of your back! Anyone moving should heed this warning…..I found out too late, that my back was in very bad shape, after I moved, too late! Now I’ve been laid uo since October…the new place is super, but I wish I had gotten more help!
Good advice, but don’t worry. I’ve got guys for the heavy stuff!
