Good for you, Kathi! I never regretted getting rid of books that I did not want anymore. And I am very happy with the new ones coming in, once I made space for them.
When I moved to Italy I got rid of nearly 60 books I never thought I could let go...old editions I had read at uni or second hand books I used to buy when in high school and I couldn t afford new. Anyway unhauling is a good thing ....there are so many out there..love your content
Nahhhh…. You? Unhauling? I don’t believe it!!! I am so proud of you! Finally!!! 😂 As you say… it just makes some room for new books. I also sorted my books recently. I took around 20 to op shops to donate. I have another 20 to exchange in the second hand bookstore, and I am hoping to sell some too. But yes, I haven’t stopped buying books so you don’t notice any difference when you look at my books… Thank you so much for filming the video. I hope you have a great weekend! ❤
😂 Yes me! Thank you, Gaby but I won't be satisfied until they are out of here. Well hopefully I will be able to make some room for new ones I want. I certainly won't notice much difference when these books are gone.
The Throne of Glass comment made me laugh haha though I believe that original edition might fetch a nice price as it is older and some collectors enjoy owning multiple of those (I've seen them go for around $100 USD on some sites).
Once I asked a local thrift store if they could pick up my books from home. they didn't. So I throw out almost a whole library in the recycling bin of my apartment building. I filled up one and a half containers. I was so upset. Quite recently i went to that shop and bought there Louise penny books, paperbacks for 5 Euros witch was a real bargain. What I want to say is they could have made a lot of money with my books back than wehen the charge 5 Euros on a paperback. today I am going to the open book box from time to time and at the next days my books are always gone. I cant sell them because posting is to expensive. here.
What a shame to throw away books. I'm surprised they weren't interested in them. Is the open book box like street libraries? I love the idea of sharing books this way.
