The Overflow Shelf

We don’t have lots of space for books and unfortunately I’m able to read and collect them at a pace that’s not sustainable and turns books into clutter. We are experimenting with an overflow shelf to resolve the problem. The way it works is that once I have no space to place a new book, I have to pull out an old one and add it to the overflow shelf for donation.

This is how the overflow shelf looks right now. The local library asked for more Lee Child books and will get some. I hope other people appreciate the latest trend with the Jack Reacher books more than I did.

  1. That’s similar to the cookbook situation in our home. If I get a new one, I have to get rid of an old one. Usually, though, our son takes the book before I can donate it. Otherwise, extra books get donated to the book exchange our church maintains. The members of our congregation are voracious readers with varied tastes, so there’s always lots to choose from.
