Are you still working on your purge or was 10 books enough.<BR/><BR/>I remember it was late at night (of course) and I was a pacing nightmare and ended up waking Bob up all teary eyed and he says (and this is why I love him) 'don't get rid of any of them if it makes you this upset. I don't care how many books you have.' I whined a bit more and then filled 4 tubs (close to 200 books I *think*) to go somewhere other than in our home. Bob was floored when he woke up in the morning.<BR/><BR/>The trick for me was to look at that book that I had started at one time but hated 3 pages in. Good-bye. Then there were the ones that I had had for years but I was never tempted to pick up. I can tell you I've never regretted the purge because I think most of the books were by authors not around anymore.<BR/><BR/>Course, that was 2 or 3 years ago and I'm sure there could be another purge session but uh, they are all in a closet and suddenly I'm very grateful they are hidden ;)<BR/><BR/>CindySCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1155932288269596532006-08-18T13:18:00.000-07:002006-08-18T13:18:00.000-07:00Renee ~ Please, please buy something this time! :-...Renee ~ <BR/><BR/>Please, please buy something this time! :-)<BR/><BR/>Good for you on purging through some of the books. I did that a few weeks ago and now have a few boxes that I'll either turn in to my UBS, donate to my library, or list on paperback swap.Devhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719293114461054932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1155884160765177412006-08-17T23:56:00.000-07:002006-08-17T23:56:00.000-07:00Kimber: Well, not a whole category :) But there ...Kimber: Well, not a whole category :) But there was a Blaze with that character. She was one of those radio sex therapists (like Dr. Ruth) whose big secret was that she was a virgin. Blech!<BR/><BR/>Ames: Good job! I purged about 10 Blazes so far. I can't figure out why I bought so many of them, except maybe they were cheap at a library book sale. I'm going shopping soon and my mantra will be "I deserve it, I deserve it". See I'm practicing already.ReneeWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184560393907186300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1155870067018238732006-08-17T20:01:00.000-07:002006-08-17T20:01:00.000-07:00I purged my library tbr.
