FOLLOW FRIDAY


This is a weekly meme hosted by Alison Can Read and Parajunkie. This is my first time participating because I just came across this. Or at least I think I did. lol...

If you would like the rules to this meme or if you would like to participate in it then click on the picture above and it will take you to the site.

Q: When you’ve read a book, what do you do with it? (Keep it, give it away, donate it, sell it, swap it..?)

Well, I tried keeping all the books that I read but I was running out of space and I don't like my books to be boxed up-I believe their covers represent art and I like to display them. But...I started selling off a bunch of my books over the past spring/summer. Even if I like a book I will get rid of it, because I know I will not re-read it, unless it is a non-fiction book (those I will keep usually). I do pass on books too if it was a really good book and I think someone else will enjoy it. Well, even if I didn't, but I know someone else will.  I will also donate books to my library. It really depends.

    Thanks for hopping by, I'm following you back. I agree with showing off your books, they are art. Unfortunately I had to box up most of mine and put them in storage. I live back home now and no room for them there.

    Hi! I'm following you over from "Follow Me..."
    I'm absolutely a book hoarder! LOL Except I've just started passing my books along to my daughter now that she's become more serious about books.

    I agree with you; covers are works of art. Some of them are absolutely amazing!

    I usually end up keeping all my books, just because I always find something special about them, even the ones I don't particularly care for. :P Thankfully I only have 300-something books, which most are stored on my 3 shelf bookcase (how did I do it? I really have no idea) so they don't take up too much space.
