Weight: 6 lbs
Method of Disposal: Donating
I am packing boxes and hauling old furniture out to the curb to be taken home by new people. I am walking in my front door and feeling overwhelmed by how messy everything looks and how many more boxes I need to get. I am daunted by the idea of moving everything 30-40 minutes across town and also learning how to do my new job (new title, same place). To calm myself in between all of these things, I am re-reading all of my young adult and children's literature before putting it in one of the donation boxes.
Today, I learned about various winter holidays, the night crossings some Jewish families took to escape the nazis, and the different breeds of penguins. I also read about 260 lb pet chickens, the too trusting Jemima Puddle-duck who laid her eggs in a foxes house, and several love poems to literature. It makes getting rid of books a slow process when you reread them all, but it is so much fun to revisit the stories of my childhood, then my teenhood, then my bookstore days, and then, hell, even a book I read last year and then forgot.
