Feature And Follow Friday (9).


                      A Weekly Meme Hosted By Parajunkee And Alison Can Read.

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 don't like to give away my books when I've finished them unless I have a double, which because of that doesn't leave me with much room around the house.

    I'm the same page as you, I don't like giving away my books either! I sometimes buy doubles though because I'm super picky about the conditions of my book.

    I'm glad I'm an e-reader when it comes to spatial reasons, but I do miss the pretty hardcovers. What hardcovers I do have, I don't like to give away either.

    I have no room! I wish I could keep all of mine. I am hoping to get more shelving, but don't really even have room for that. Ek. LOL

    I don't think that there is a book blogger around with enough shelf room. We can always use more. Old GFC follower. Thanks for stopping by my FF and for the follow.

    Hi,
    Thanks for stopping by my blog!

    If only I had more bookcases, I wouldn't be giving away any of my books. But sadly, that isn't the case and I tend to like space to maneuver around my room without fearing that I'll step on any of my precious books. So, all the books I deem bad reads, I give away or donate.

    Have a great weekend!

    I think running out of room comes with the Territory of choosing to be a reader. I actually like when books expand off my shelf and start stacking in corners or on tables. It's vanity thing, I know, because I think it makes me look like I read a lot. I lend them were I can, but I hate parting with all but the worst of books. Sometimes I have to make the sacrifice though.

    When I still lived at home, I had no room for my books. Now that I moved, I have these huge book cases. So now every book has their own special place!
