Q: When you've read a book, what do you do with it? (Keep it, give it away, donate it, sell it, swap it..?)


I have an absolute obsession when it comes to my books. I keep them, all of them. Even if I hated the book, I will keep it and put it in a box that I have under my bed. The books I can re-read over and over go on my shelves, and I have a box for the rest. If I have doubles, I'll give it away. But that's about the only time I ever would. So, I guess I'm a book hoarder myself! - Kristen.

I'm with Kristen on this one. I keep all my books. I still have all the books I read when I was really little. The only difference is that I have about a gillion shelves in my room, they don't go in boxes under my bed. I need my own library!  -Kelsey

    I was reading about Feng Shui and learned that you are not supposed to store stuff under your bed because it blocks energy from flowing around you while you sleep. But I think having books under there must be okay because you are surrounded with book energy :)

    I had the most insane amount of books until I started blogging. Now I'm hooked on giving books away!

    That box idea is pretty interesting. Once I get settled in my new place (im moving) I will definitely have to look into that. I definitely have one series that I wouldnt mind boxing away even if I will never part with it, I know Ill never read them again. LOL.

    Thank you for following my blog, I am a new follower of yours. =D

    It depends on how much I don't like a book. If I really dislike a book I will probably decide to throw it away. Whether I succeed at that is another question! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend!

    I don't keep books I didn't enjoy. I don't see the point when someone else could enjoy it. Although putting them under the bed like you do would keep my dust bunnies company! LOL

    Here is my Follow Friday post

    Hi there,
    Just returning the follow.

    I used to hoard all my books too, until I ran out of room and started tripping over some. Needless to say, all the books I hated went to someone else that may be more appreciative of them.

    Have a great weekend!

    Same here, I keep all the books. Only multiple copies of the same edition escape from my shelf :P
    And even the books I don't like. What if I might enjoy them in the future?

    Thanks for stopping by. New follower.

    Have a great weekend!

    Love your answer! Before I moved I was a book hoarder, but I had to give so many away. I am slowly becoming a book hoarder again though. Hope you have a great weekend!
