Once you start that habit of one to two chapters per night, you can make your way through quite a few books before you know it. Still, I can't remember a time when I have ever gotten to the bottom of my "want to read" stack!Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485338098212307793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330030209576515508.post-51656797687897778892019-10-24T22:57:12.634-05:002019-10-24T22:57:12.634-05:00My problem is for every book I finish I seem to di...My problem is for every book I finish I seem to discover two more I want to read!Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485338098212307793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330030209576515508.post-60640209748256364832019-10-24T19:42:16.165-05:002019-10-24T19:42:16.165-05:00All of those books sound interesting and worth a r...All of those books sound interesting and worth a read. I would add some of them to my list, but honestly, I'm such a slow reader it takes me forever to get through what I already have. I am trying to make a point to read a chapter in at least ONE book every night, though, because I'm ready to book blog again!<br /><br /><a href="https://stormsandstardust.net" rel="nofollow">Kim</a>Kim@StormsAndStardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11503672462907062962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330030209576515508.post-13405901249001812252019-10-24T12:48:26.385-05:002019-10-24T12:48:26.385-05:00So many books, so little time!

Giving up my favorites I think would cause me physical pain. I can't believe you had to choose 500 to part with!Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485338098212307793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330030209576515508.post-33172895249718688762019-10-24T11:55:42.282-05:002019-10-24T11:55:42.282-05:00I would love to browse this collection!!

When my children and I downsized from a 4 bedroom house to a 3 bedroom apartment half the size, we had to donate close to 500 books from our collaborative collection as we needed some of the bookshelf space for actual storage. It was an excruciating task as a lot of the books I keep were linked to life events I went through and I wasn't mentally ready to part with them.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08762583175264212276noreply@blogger.com
