CBarton said...

I am a hoarder. Lucky for me, so is my husband when it comes to books.

NoraA said...

I only get rid of my doubles (I donate them to a library that puts them into circulation). I'm NOT a hoarder, I'm a collector, with books going back to the 1960's and earlier. Many of them are either first editions or first printings. Lots of them are autographed or personalized. I have close to 3000 books in two rooms and a storage bin.

Unknown said...

I will clean out ones that I did not really like but the rest are hoarded and guarded well.

Unknown said...

I'm a hoarder lol

The Menagerie Mom said...

I can't even lie, I'm a book hoarder. I think getting rid of books would nearly kill me. Thank you for sharing this, Melissa and Mudpie!

Unknown said...

I do both. I hoard all of my books when I first get them and read them. Then the day comes when I can't find a book and clean my shelves to organize them. That's where some I enjoyed but won't read again go into a box and are donated to a local shelter. It's hard to let them go, but I'm firm on, once in the box, it stays in the box. LOL

Sandra said...

I'm definitely a book whorder I can't seem to get rid of any I want to have a huge library

I do clean out my shelves every so often, but I don't get rid of much.

Deborah Wellenstein said...

I am a book hoarder, but I have a box of books that people can choose from when they come over.

Heather C said...

I usually don't keep books after I read them. They go straight to the library so it's not really necessary to do much cleaning of my shelves.

Debby said...

I clean out my bookshelves to make room for more...but I keep a zillion of them!

Deborah

Tina W said...

I clean my bookshelves about twice a year - and take them to the volunteer stations at the medical center where I take my Dad for appointments. (I used to donate them to the bookstore at the library, but after being stuck at the hospital with my Dad a time or two, I know what a godsend a book can be when you are sitting in an uncomfortable place for HOURS...)

I clean out my bookshelves every year or so. I always let my family pick out a few and then take the rest to my local library. They put them either in their system or in the Library book sale. The money goes back into the Library so it's all good to me.

Linda Herold said...

I am definitely a book hoarder!!

I mostly hoard my books but I'm always letting folks borrow a few here and there so it kind of helps keep the amount of books manageable. Kinda. haha

Summer D said...

I'm normally a hoarder, but we moved recently and I decided I would finally have to go through my gigantic stacks of books. It was a bittersweet day.

Carolyn Daley said...

I donate most of my books to our local hospital. They have a section in the main lobby where visitors can buy used paper backs for 25 cents or hardback for 50 cents. This way there is a variety of reading material available to people and the hospital can make a small profit that adds up over the year to buy new machines.

slehan said...

I get most of my books from the library. If I do get books I don't want to reread I'll donate them.
Thanks for the contest.

susan1215 said...

I will clean out ones that I did not really like but the rest are hoarded and I reread them.

Gaby said...

I never in my life I'll get rid of a book out no matter what. They are very important to me. I accumulate them no matter if I have no space.

Sharon Braswell said...

I hoard them mostly, but I donate some to the library eventually...except of course for my very favorite series collections! Thank you for a wonderful Giveaway!!

Kaye Killgore said...

Honestly, I try to pass books on, take them to used bookstores, etc. but I'm a hoarder at heart.

Anonymous said...

We tend to keep them.

Unknown said...

I am a horrible, horrible hoarder. I even have multiple copies books I've been known to re-read. "Collector authors" have hardbacks and paperback copies, sometimes even two paperbacks, one for collections purposes, and one for reading. Of course, books I know I'll never read again get donated. I don't keep books I'm not going to read (or cherish for collection purposes). If I didn't hate a book, though, I might try reading part of it again prior to donating, because I've been known to fall in love with a book the second time around. Most of the time, if the book is horrible (to me) on the first read, it's a goner(unless it was a gift, then it's cherished). My daughter gets first dibs, though, if it's appropriate (YA).

diannekc said...

I mostly hoard. I do share them with my sister after I read and then she hoards.

I am Miss alisha.,From united states of America.I will start by saying to all that have experience heart break and also cant do with out there lover should please stop here and read up my story, So as you will know how to go solving or getting your ex back from this spell caster..AND AGAIN I WILL WANT TO ALSO TELL ALL THAT THIS SPELL CASTER I WILL WANT TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD ABOUT IS HARMLESS AND DO NOT HAVE ANY SIDE EFFECT, BUT TO RESTORE AND GIVE YOU BACK WHAT YOU DESERVE, COS WHEN I MEET WITH THIS SPELL CASTER THAT WAS INTRODUCED TO ME BY THE WIFE OF MY BOSS IN MY WORKING PLACE, HE MADE IT CLEAR THAT HE CAN CAST SPELL ON SO MANY OTHER PROBLEMS EXCEPT IN GETTING YOUR EX OR MAKING YOUR LOVER TO LOVE YOU MORE THAT WILL SUITE YOU. Last year December, My lover was cheating on me and was not also give me the attention that a man should give to a woman,And really that was troubling my mind and tearing my heart apart to the extent that i was not concentrating in the office the way i use to before the break up by my lover.And before that incident,I always see how my boss use to love his wife so much. I was binging to think that i was not doing the right thing to him that will make him love me forever,So i really gathered my courage and went to my boss wife office to ask her the secret that made her husband love her so dearly,In the first place she refused in telling me,She asked me why i am asking her such a question,That if is it not normal for every man to love his wife.I told her the reason that made me ask her about this question,That my lover started cheating on me lately,When i knelt down before her for her to see my seriousness in this issue that i went to ask her,She opened up to me by telling me that i should not tell anybody about what she want to tell me,The wife to my boss started to say to me that she used a very powerful spell on his husband to love her,And the spell that she used is harmless, But the spell is just to make him love her and never to look for any other woman except her. I QUICKLY ASK HER HOW DID SHE GET TO KNOW THIS GREAT,POWER,DURABLE AND PERFECT WORK SPELL CASTER,she said that a friend of hers also introduce her to him. Then i also ask her how i can meet with this spell caster.SHE SAID EVERYTHING TO ME,THAT THE NAME OF THIS SPELL CASTER IS Dr. AZEN TEMPLE.My next question to her was how can i get this wonderful spell caster,She said she is going to give me the email of the spell caster for me to contact him for my problem,Really she gave to me this spell caster email and i contacted him and explained all to him,And after every thing that needed to be done by the spell caster, In the next two days, My lover that hated me so much came to house begging for forgiveness and i was so glad that i have finally gotten my heart desire..I was so grateful to this spell caster for what he has done for my life.. So i made a promise to him that i will always continue telling the world about his wonderful work towards me and also to other that came to you before and also the people that will also get to you from my story that i narrated online now..I will want to say to the entire world that you should not cry over noting again, That there is a great man that has been helping individuals to restore there Joy and smile in there faces !! The direct email to get this man is :[azentemple@gmail.com]or what'sapp +2349038299828 ,This is what i want to tell you all out there,That is thinking that all hope is lost ok..Thanks
