I have gotten rid of many more books since this post!Jill Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919221814694982320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602022414393987181.post-89634156392134283252012-11-08T18:30:44.775-08:002012-11-08T18:30:44.775-08:00Thank you so much for sharing your boot camp exper...Thank you so much for sharing your boot camp experience! This is very helpful and inspirational. My husband and I are music teachers and church musicians, and I also home school two children. It is so awesome to have found your example.

I bet it's feeling a lot more open and clear now. <br /><br />Melanie,<br /><br />If you have a Hastings around you I found they pay top dollar for books. They won't take everything but oftentimes they'll pay out as much as $6 on a title (sometimes a lot lower than that though). My favorite thing to do with books was to donate them to the library. That way I knew other people could use them AND I could rent them again if I found I needed them. Good luck!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />TanjaTanja from Minimalist Packrathttp://www.minimalistpackrat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602022414393987181.post-49337164834328816192011-02-16T11:34:55.426-08:002011-02-16T11:34:55.426-08:00Melanie, thanks for your comment.

There are a few I have listed to sell on Amazon (mostly music books) and a few others I posted on paperback swap.Jill Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919221814694982320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602022414393987181.post-39598444602273848442011-02-16T09:49:38.268-08:002011-02-16T09:49:38.268-08:00Jill,

The last few years I have been on a slow trajectory toward a less cluttered life with a few stops and starts. Just this last week, spurred on by an upcoming charity booksale I again faced the boxes of books in the basement. We have so many great books, but when they are almost all available at the library, I question the need to actually "own" them. But when it comes to passing them on, I get stuck on the potential monetary value. "I could sell it on ebay..." Well, I've got to face up to the fact that I'm not going to and realize I could really make someone's day if they find a great value at a charity booksale! (--hoping they are not just buying it to sell on ebay!) <br />--What do you do with all the books/etc that you are culling?<br />--MelanieMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00085707265019976465noreply@blogger.com
