And that does give me some comfort, but it made me wonder if you're someone who tends to hoard books like I do, or if maybe after you read them, it's really easy for you to immediately sell them or give them away to friends. Or maybe you're somewhere in between

I think for me, I would probably just, I don't know, give it to someone who would love it as much as I loved the book, that would be me. I mean, selling is always good. Yeah. I mean, the thing with getting books back, books that you will love back on your shelf for me where I am right now, as you know, reviewing with publishers and things like that, I have no doubt that I'll get books

So I took a batch to half price books yesterday and sold them and I feel really good about that. And then I have a whole pile that I'm sending to a friend right now and a couple of others that I'm going to be giving to family members who I think might enjoy them. So it feels really good just to share books and even selling them at half price

But if I did decide to undertake this address task of clearing out my bookshelves, I'll probably consider donating it to some library or probably putting them all away in a bag or another shelf or something and hand it over to younger cousins or family people in the family who I know for a fact, would enjoy reading these books, or maybe friends as well, who would really take care of these books?

But, you know, I really like the idea of wishing the book well and donating it to your cousin friends, people, you know, would appreciate it. People, you know, would read it. And I think that's a great, great, great feeling I really miss not miss. I mean, I missed memes, I had it. But I wish we had a little free library in my neighborhood because that would be the absolute best thing ever for my books
