Losing weight is easy, just move your book collection around.

This week we decided to take down a whole wall of shelving full of books. I had to look at every book, check value on Bookfinder, sort piles for donation vs keep. Today we put crates of books on the street and I'm sure they will be gone by evening. (That's how we acquired lots of them in the first place!) I used to be an eBay seller but I stopped for Covid and never started back up.

We are left with just a couple hundred books that are mostly antique little treasures.

Anyway, this morning I'm down two pounds. Just in time for Halloween candy. 👻

OMG! That's still quite a collection of books. How many are you getting rid of?
