It can be dangerous entering. ;-) Like you, it's been awhile since I last organized my library. I have so many books and it takes a lot of time to add in the new additions. I don't have enough shelf space either.<br /><br />It's hard for my husband and I to part with books too, although we don't have anyone to leave the books to like you do. I am trying to be better about letting go of the books I will not re-read, but it's a slow process. I grew up surrounded by books and I like the feeling of being so now.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277775467976733660.post-46732666684882574622009-10-17T12:59:10.595-04:002009-10-17T12:59:10.595-04:00It would be very nice to be able to have a room ju...It would be very nice to be able to have a room just for books!

I didn´t own any books when I was a child, but I have also bought loads of children´s books as an adult when I find good quality at the right price. And especially my youngest loves reading old children´s books. It is wonderful to enjoy the same books and discuss them afterwards.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277775467976733660.post-41252580573413835142009-10-16T13:03:10.657-04:002009-10-16T13:03:10.657-04:00I think you've put your finger on it when you ...I think you've put your finger on it when you used the word "creature."
