Not long ago I cleared enough space in our library bookshelves to accommodate our new stereo system and vinyl collection. Remember?
I gave a stack of books to a friend (more like family) for her store’s upcoming event, Notes and Letters: Music and Books. That means I “needed” more books, right? Well, maybe not, but I can’t resist a library book sale. I attended our public library’s used book sale last week and I’m pretty proud of myself. This is all I bought:
But then my mom gave me three boxes of my grandfather’s cookbooks:
Looks like I’ll need to so some rearranging and make space for more cookbooks in my kitchen. Never fear – I WILL prevail.
Are you a book collector? If so, leave me a comment and tell me your favorite type(s) of books to collect. I’m partial to old fiction, classics in older bindings, and certain types of travel stories.
I recently sorted out one large Aldi grocery bag of books to donate to the women's club book sale…then joined Blogging for Books and ordered my first book…yes, this is a problem but then I do the same with my thrifting. It's all for the booth, except what I end up bringing back home because I decide it suits my current decor…so I clear out a cabinet and then go off and bring another load home, lol.
Sounds familiar. Ha!
You can never have too many books!
I don't care what kind of books they are. If I can read them, and don't have a copy, I want them!
Being able to have ebooks really helps with the space issue…
Good to know I'm not the only one obsessed with books. 🙂
No, there's no such thing as too many books. 🙂 I go through phases with book collecting. At one point, I've collected cookbooks, medieval history books, women's studies books, craft books, environmental books, farming/sustainability books, simplicity books….I now try to just read books and ebooks from the library so I no longer accumulate books like I once did.
