My Science Fiction Book collection is one of the big things I had to decide what to do with as I would to have room for them where I am moving. I did not realize how attached I was to the books until they were gone. Seems that after living in 10 different locations in four states when I moved here to number eleven I felt I would not move again. I did what I had always wanted but had not because I knew I would not stay. I had book shelves built in and I unpacked all my books. Now I am moving to a smaller place closer to my children. (I am 76 and realizing some hard truths. I need to be closer to family. I could put it off but decided to do this when I was in control.)
The books left yesterday. I asked the Friends of the Library if they would like some of the books and they said they would like them all. I pulled out a few and watched as 5 very nice people came and packed the rest up. I managed not to cry until they left. Now I can't seem to stop. Even though I know it was the right thing to do and that they are going to a very good place I am still very sad. (See photos of before and after.)
I don't know if I will re-start the blog after I move. However the Goodreads post on the side bar will still be keeping up with what I am reading.
