Decluttering/Reorganization

CoolFunnyQuotes.com

This is my problem no matter WHAT I’m going through.

Right now I’m going through my bookshelves upstairs. I have my permanent collection of books by favorite authors, plus books on art. I really try to concentrate, because I really don’t NEED all these books, but it’s hard to part with any of them.

The latest hard decision was my collection of Janet Evanovich books. She has a really wonderful sense of humor and makes me laugh at the characters she has created plus the situations in which they find themselves. I’ve read them all several times, though, and it is time for them to find new homes.

I listed 47 books on Amazon yesterday and sold 5 of them so far. I picture other people either discovering her for the first time – delighted looks on their faces and laughing – adding to their collection, or plugging in gaps with books they don’t have in the series. It’s a win/win for all of us.

So far I have one empty shelf. I am about to head upstairs to continue my efforts.

I hope that you are surrounded by favorite books, authors who bring you joy.

Watch Out!

I’ve been splurging – re-reading my collection of the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. There are 25 books in the series so far, 24 in paperback. I’m on #23, smiling all the way through it.

I love this series because the characters are seriously flawed and – if not lovable – are likable, and very amusing.  On re-reading, I sometimes laugh out loud, but not as often as I did the first time. The writing is so good, though, I snort, or at least smirk, through much of them. The wacky characters get into totally bizarre situations.  Sharing the situations with them, and seeing how they get through them, and the consequences, is a joy. I don’t really want to BE in their world, but I love sharing it from a bit of a distance.

Janet has # 25 in hard back now, and, of course, it’s a best seller. I’m not sure when the paperback will be available, but I’m looking forward to being able to add it to my collection.
