Oh my goodness! This video was a blessing! I ve been procrastinating decluttering my many bookshelves for ages. Your suggestions were just what I needed as a strategy I can actually use. Thank you so much for sharing!📚

[@aflourishingplace]

Thank you, I’m so glad to hear that! 😃

[@MichelleL83]

The struggle is real! 😂 Thanks for the great tips. Now on to try and execute them! Maybe a little at a time... 😬

[@aflourishingplace]

It IS real! Thanks for watching. 😊

Thank you, I loved your list of questions to ask myself when going through my books. The reference books and fantasy, future self books will be the hardest.

[@aflourishingplace]

You bet! 😊 The future self books are always the hardest for me.

I’ve been aware it’s an identity issue for me too. This was helpful for me.

[@aflourishingplace]

I’m so glad! 😊

I try to revisit clearing up my bookshelves on a regular basis. Yes, I like physical books. Have tried a 'to read' shelf (in the next 3 months), but not really working for me. I find if I de-clutter books, I allow myself half that number of new books in. It's a work in progress.

[@aflourishingplace]

Yes, I feel like revisiting on a regular basis is a must for me! 😊

What do I do with the books I’m getting rid of? I have several hundreds

Depending on the kind of book and its condition, you can either donate them (thrift stores, libraries) or recycle them. Since you have so many, just make multiple trips. Whenever you go out to do something else, take a box of a couple dozen books to one of the above places that's along the way. Take at least one box each week and it won't be too long before you have taken care of them all.

@@Ellenhelle you can try to sell them. We have a chain store nearby called 2nd & Charles that buys books to resell. Beyond a local place, it becomes more work, but with a lot of books, it could be worth it to sell them to Thrift books or online.

I love donating books to the Little Free Libraries in my neighborhood. There's a very helpful locator map online that shows all their locations. I've donated books, magazines, periodicals and anything else that others might read.
