This weeks bag of sad and unloved books are headed out the door to find a better home. This is such a PIA to do because I have most of these books listed at paperbackswap and half.com where they've been languishing for years. So instead of just tossing them all in a bag and getting on with my life, I have to look them all up and delete them. One bag at a time to a clutter free home . . . 

Another bag of unread and unloved books is headed out to the donation bins. Yay me. It's hard letting them go but I've held on to some of them for over a decade and seeing them around, doing nothing but collecting dust, makes me feel like a hoarder and overwhelms me. I've culled the oldest, mostly those given to me by my mother-in-law and friends who no longer wanted them (I can never say no to more books!), because I'll never get around to reading ALL the books ever written in this lifetime. My dream is to one day have tidy shelves filled only with books that I'm dying to read. I've bought so many books that I no longer have any interest in reading that it's embarrassing. This is probably the 8th bag I've donated in the past year and it feels so good to set them free!
