Maybe there are some books that no longer match what you enjoy reading now. I know my tastes have changed over the years just like you mentioned. If it doesn't sound like anything you really want to read then donate it to someone who might enjoy it. If they ALL sound too good to pass up then set a goal each month to read a certain number of books from the "old" stack! Because you sure don't want to miss any new ones coming out!! I plan on having a book in my hand when I die! lol But I also worry about my eyesight failing as it can do when we get older. Guess I will have to learn to enjoy just listening to a book. But I would miss the feel of holding one in my hands. Thanks for another great discussion, Sandi!
Hmmmmmmm, good question. I like to put some laundry in the washer and then sit down to read. At least I'm accomplishing one of the things that needs to be done!! But sometimes my conscience will bother me and I have to put the book down and go do something else that REALLY needs to be done. But I'm either at the computer and reading a book many times during the day and squeeze in some cleaning when I can. But don't plan on being able to eat off of my floors!!!
Our small town library can check with other libraries to get books that ours doesn't carry. I'm not real sure about new releases tho. The ones I want to read they usually have. Of course, my sister-in-law is the librarian and listens to my recommendations!!
