Greatly enjoyed this piece and accompanying pictures. I’ve had the same thoughts re my large collection of fiction and nonfiction…applying some rules to stem its growth might be an idea.

You know what reduces stuff, Liz? Renovations! I completely renovated my condo a year ago, and it forced me to be brutal with what I kept, and tossed. When you want to play nicely with contractors, you make fast decisions!

I wish! We’ve been on renovations for the past ten years with my husband as the contractor. My own project while he builds away: paring down room by room, shelf by shelf.

I hear you! Good luck with reducing your book collection. Do you have those mini libraries on people's lawns? Go for a walk and make some deposits!

Ah! Good idea. There are some here and there. I’ll probably have to bring them closer to my work as that neighborhood would have more readers more in line with my tastes.
