Reclaim Your Bookshelf

May 2, 2010 By 1 Comment

Is your love of books creating feelings of overwhelm? If so, it may be time to evaluate your personal and business book collection. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

  1. If you didn’t like the book, let it go.
  2. If you are not going to refer to it again, let it go.
  3. If a book has been sitting in a stack to read for YEARS, let it go.
  4. If the book has no sentimental value…that’s right…let it go.
  5. Buy an electronic reader like a Kindle (I love mine!).
  6. Create your collection only with books that you love.

Share the wealth with other book lovers by passing your unwanted books on to a friend, donating them to a library or selling them at a used or online book store.

    Great suggestions. It can be so hard to let go of books, especially those you keep meaning to read! I’ve been concentrating on ordering books online from the library, rather than purchasing new ones, it is a great way to get the latest bestsellers.
