I keep them all..i won’t let anyone borrow them and I don’t give them away. I am a shelfish book hoarder, I full on plan to turn my children’s rooms into libraries when they move out. Lol
My children had a bookshelf in their room when they were growing up, I donated them all to a Headstart school… Now I wish I had kept them for my Grandchildren…
I won’t let any books go and now after losing one book i’d had since i was a little girl (more than 30 years) after i loaned it to a little girl to read who then lost it ? and another to a neighbour who can’t find it, no one will ever borrow a book off me ever again, books are too important to me and matter way too little to others x
If i’d borrowed a book of someone see or anything for that matter and lost it or something i’d make a point of replacing it but others don’t seem to think like me when it comes to the property of others sadly x
I keep them all. I hope that one day there will be some young person around me which one I could teach how to love books… Also, when you live in a poor country you are naturally prepared for everything bad what may happened – so I collect them as more I am able, to have them in the worse times if those times ever come..
Give the ones away to friends/family that I think would like them and donate the rest to the local library. I would rather people keep reading them and enjoy as I did.
I have a shelf or shelves rather filled with all my read books … they go as far back when I first joined the scholastic book club and received them in the mail…that was 1990 so my collection is pretty big
They are all my babies! I lovingly place them on their place on my shelf and there they shall stay til a TRUSTED friend would like to borrow it, or until i want to read it again 😀
Most of mine I keep, wait until some time has passed and read them again. Any I don’t want to keep goes to my library 🙂

Lol I let people borrow mine but it’s with a “you know I’ll hunt you down and kill you if anything happens to my books” speech first.
Nope, I don’t even chance it…most of the people I know don’t even bring your dishes back so I know I’d never see my books again. Lol
Yeah there’s only three people allowed to borrow mine lol
I keep my books… I have 6 bookshelves in my house… My Husband calls me a hoarder ! Lol
That’s what I said !!
A house without books has no Soul …
I keep the ones I loved, and trade the rest. 🙂
It depends on how much I enjoyed the book. If I really enjoyed it I keep it, if not so much I give to my local branch of the library.

Keep them
The ones not in series I pass on to local or closest veteran hospitals . I think of all our veterans have done to keep us safe .
Give them away, trade, or donate.
I keep them, shelf them away, and one day read them again someday out of the blue when I cross them.
I give some away and keep others.
I let some people borrow them but they have to sign a paper that if anything happens to it the have to replace it.
Pass them on to family members but not my favourite authors.

I know how you feel. If I lend one of my good books and don’t get it back I won’t lend books to that person anymore.

Depends on the book. Sometimes will pass along the fiction. But usually like to hang onto non-fiction and classics.
Read them again
I bring them to Half Price Books and get money for them
I have a very hard time parting with my books so i keep them for when my children are older. And their children and so on
Keep them forever. Unless I didn’t like it. Like 50 shades and Twilight. Then I give them away
