No such thing as too many books

April 2, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

Not long ago I cleared enough space in our library bookshelves to accommodate our new stereo system and vinyl collection. Remember?

The bookshelves have all been thoroughly dusted, sorted and catalogued. David built the shelf insert for the stereo components. The top shelf where the turntable sits has drawer slides so we can pull it, open the lid and place the album.

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:
Last night's library book sale scores
But then my mom gave me three boxes of my grandfather’s cookbooks:
Some of my grandfather's cookbooks which my mom just gave me
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.

    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.
