You get to look forward to replacing them with new ones. That's the best part! Going north with us will be 3 big plastic storage bins filled with books to give away. After giving 2 shopping bags of books to a visiting friend also, I actually have a few empty shelves now to start filling up again, guilt free, mind you. Oh, the joy of that.Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282803815704229945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-25477230249067679642009-11-09T09:13:10.790-05:002009-11-09T09:13:10.790-05:00I enjoy having books everywhere too.

It isn't the size of the books, it is the size of your house.

My favorite episode is one involving a hooker and the commuter lane.<br /><br />But on the Bookshelf topic, I have begun putting overflowing books in nice wicker baskets lined with fabric. They can be slid out of the way easily enough into closets or under the bed, but they aren't that unsightly if left out. And you could have a different basket for the different categories - such as ARC, TBR, etc.The Bumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334162339045336577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-1841997928505123432009-11-08T14:03:31.868-05:002009-11-08T14:03:31.868-05:00Bandit, tell your mom that she has converted me to...Bandit, tell your mom that she has converted me to watching Curb...and since I was the last person in the universe to sign up for Netflix, I can now get old episodes to watch from there.
