I did end up purging a lot (8 bags to the local indie and Half Price) and I could probably do some more. In fact, if I want to put anything else on the shelves, I'm going to have to purge! But I do love looking at all my books at once for the first time ever. :)Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-71274789073424294112015-08-13T16:01:23.046-07:002015-08-13T16:01:23.046-07:00Wow.

Makes me a bit tempted to ditch my big bookshelves and get a Billy Bookshelf...though I'm in the process of purging books (sad face). Thanks for the tour!

By the way, I hear that the "Tidying Up" book advises you to pare down your book collection to 30 items and store them in a closet. I could never do that.Loryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08519976394732029323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-53593655251842081572015-08-09T19:23:37.099-07:002015-08-09T19:23:37.099-07:00Oooh, pretty!
