We’re moving things around in the house, making space for Adrian to have his own room. While we’re at it, we’re also sorting through our library and getting rid of some of it.

I still love reading actual paper books, and I like to have lots of books easily accessible so that I can walk up to a bookshelf and pick something that I feel like reading or browsing. But there are books that, realistically, I will never read again.

Some I simply didn’t like at all, and maybe didn’t even finish. Those are easy to get rid of. I am very sure I will never want to read Sarah J. Maas again!

Others I enjoyed once, but not enough to read them again. Life is short and the world is full of books that I haven’t read yet. For me to re-read a book, it has to compete against all the possible new books I could read.

Still others I have re-read already and discovered that they didn’t age well – they were better in my memory than they turned out to be when I picked them up again.
