I think I must have been born with a fear of being not being able to read. If you step into my home, what do you notice? Books, books, books, and oh yes, some magazines. They are literally in every room. I am fortune in many ways because I get sent a lot of books to preview and to review, so this adds to my problem with having too many books in the house. I honestly have a cookbook collection of more than 300 books, I have stopped counting a long time ago.
After having moved across the country twice, in a short period of time, I have decided I needed to reduce my quantities of books. I have been in the process of donating books to the library when I can, and to friends, or anyone that will drop by my house, and wants to pick up a book. Thankfully the library takes magazines, they sell them to raise money to buy books for the library. I am still needing to weed down on the books that I have. The love of reading won’t stop, but the quantity of books needs to slow down.
