Tidying Up

stillbook.jpg I have spent the past couple of hours clearing out my office/guest room/storage space. 5 bags of garbage and 2 more of clothes for charity have left the building. I'm exhausted, but satisfied with the results. There's still a small pile in a corner which needs sorting, but first I need a little time to recoup.

I have been trying to decide what to do with the books. I often re-read, and have wound up with a library of my own. There are some, however, which I feel I am able to let go of now. The question is, what to do with them? Most of them are paperback and therefore unacceptable as donations to local libraries and bookstores. I know about BookCrossing.com but there really isn't much participation in this rural area. In the end I suppose I will place them on a tarp in my front yard with a "Free Books" sign and hope for the best. I hate the thought of simply throwing them away.
