I have many text books from when I was in college. Did you keep your text books? I did keep a few that my daughter was surprised to see me putting on my new book shelf. I have my French Textbook and I just put it on the new shelf. It was time to empty all the boxes of books to see what I have been storing for many years. Other books I saved were dictionaries, which certainly can't be used in a box. One book that surprised me was a cook book, which was basic measuring and a couple recipes. Another was a computer book and we all know it would be good for a history paper, but not for running my laptop. Have you opened any boxes in your garage and received a surprise at the contents? Were you able to reduce your storage area? I sure feel better seeing the space reduced.

I do not keep them. I have thought about it when I went to college back in 2005. What I did was sell them back I needed the money at the time. To go to college is not cheap at all. I think I want to go back but paying for those books is a killer. Take care and happy mylotting to you as well.

Well I want to keep them but I can't as I don't have that much space to keep all my books, so I prefer keeping the good ones and I always gave away my old books to someone who needed them. Still I have a HUGE collection of my books and my mum is so annoyed with that :D lol!
