hvert I have a problem with books too. I'm getting better I now save them to donate to the annual book sale. It's in April and they start collecting in the fall. It's a slow process to part with them but I find that every time I go through them I am to part with more. DH got me a e-reader and a friend introduced me to a place on line called BookBub. It has books on sale sends me an email everyday with books I maybe interested in. I only download the free ones but am careful to watch out for series. Last thing I need is a new author with a series. Between that and smashwords I get books and don't have to worry about my lack of shelf space.
