Once a person retires from full time work and begins to downsize, books are often on the "get rid of" list.
Around here, that is clearly not the case at all.
That's not to say hundreds of my books have not been given away because they have been released.
When I moved from a house to an apartment, a huge library had to be weeded out.
But many other boxes of books never made the cut and have been in storage for three years.
As each box comes out of storage and is opened, (in a desperate attempt to get rid of the storage unit,) my heart jumps a few beats.
The reunification with books I love has been sweet.
One major problem remains. Where, oh where, will the incoming books be stored in this small apartment?
I need just one more tall, skinny, white bookcase so the incoming books can be rescued and remain rather than be packed in bags and donated.
Friends are treasured, right? Well, books are among my dearest friends, probably always will be, so books need to keep me company while I still have breath.
DO YOU PREFER A PLACE WITH NO OR FEW BOOKS OR MANY?
