How do you decide what books are keepers and what books you can give

Hi Susan - thanks they look very interesting posts and things that we need to do and check out ..
Cheers and Happy Labor Day - Hilary
Susan: To answer your question: When I started reviewing books,I passed them onto specific individuals at my church. One I saved for our Son. Then the church library needed some newer books. After I read them an write my review review,I bundle them up and take them to our pastoral assistant. I do this because we live in a small house and have little room to keep things.
Hey there! Thanks for the G+ post. I'm going to go and check it out. :)
Edge of Your Seat Stories
I put a post-it in the books that are not replaceable, i.e. are out of print, if they have sentimental value or are worth re-reading. If they are readily available as e-books they get tossed, with the exceptions of a few favorites and author-signed books.
Hi Hilary - Thanks for stopping by. It's always a pleasure to see you.
Hi Quiet Spirit - Yes, print books do take up a lot of room. Passing them on to a church library is a great idea.
