Any less clutter, including digital clutter, feels pretty good to me :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3216081229982312439.post-337336536575407542016-02-23T20:55:13.001-05:002016-02-23T20:55:13.001-05:00Well done!

My online to-read list is out of control, but I recently cleared out my physical shelves as well and it does feel good :)DoingDeweyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902496432225294188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3216081229982312439.post-13286890806344162612016-02-20T21:24:02.103-05:002016-02-20T21:24:02.103-05:00Thanks!

The number can be scary for sure, but I'm really glad I faced it and am working on letting some go and having a more reasonable approach to books in the future.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3216081229982312439.post-42633459348812136162016-02-20T21:22:47.745-05:002016-02-20T21:22:47.745-05:00ShelfLove definitely helped me get my act together...ShelfLove definitely helped me get my act together! It's hard to admit things got out of control and that I spent time and money getting books I no longer want to read, but hanging on to them doesn't do anyone any good -- not myself or anyone else who might get some use and enjoyment out of my excess.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3216081229982312439.post-75221511091069676832016-02-20T21:20:16.143-05:002016-02-20T21:20:16.143-05:00Thanks Tiffany!

It can be a little scary to face the number, but I think it helps give some perspective and figure out where to go from there -- it did for me anyway :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3216081229982312439.post-17145297526175734482016-02-20T21:17:47.503-05:002016-02-20T21:17:47.503-05:00Thanks Jenny!

I couldn't resist using bookshelves as nightstands -- they were less expensive than other things we were looking at and they are super useful :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3216081229982312439.post-32952818855232066592016-02-17T18:49:51.142-05:002016-02-17T18:49:51.142-05:00Nicely done.

I think taking a break from cleaning your shelves is a good idea. You don't want to get burnout or overwhelmed. I know I would.
