Book Blogger Hop is run by Billy@CoffeeAddictedWriter. I was first introduced to the Book Blogger Hop posts by Bonnie at Bonnie Reads and Writes. Definitely check out her site. She is great! Anyway, Book Blogger Hop deals with a different bookish question each week, and this week’s question, posed by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer is:
I am an unapologetic hoarder of books. It’s funny because my OCD doesn’t let me be a hoarder of anything. I love neat piles and orderly spaces. I throw stuff out constantly. But when it comes to books, I just can’t help myself. I hoard like crazy. But is it really hoarding when books are so vital and educational and escapist and cathartic? Hoarding has such a negative undertone, and I truly don’t think there is anything negative about being surrounded by books.

Collector. I don’t keep all books, only the ones I love and want to read again.

One of my goals this summer is to reorganize my books shelves. I want to giveaway the books I haven’t really cared about for years. It’s time they find a good home.

Sharing blessings. 🙂 That thought made it easier to give away books I loved but knew I wouldn’t read again.

That’s how I’m going to check myself…”Would I read this book again?” 🤔 If my answer is no, that book goes in the donate pile. 🙂

Me too! I’m taking down every book from my shelf and asking, “Will I read you again?” If the answer is NO, to the donation pile, it will go. 🙂

Hmm, tough question! And, hard to know the difference, LOL! I think collector because I have no trouble getting rid of ones I know I won’t read again!

I think you nailed it right on the head, Cindy. I, for some reason, can throw anything away…except books. I am a hoarder of books. It’s actually quite odd. LOL!
