We have soooo many books, both for DH and I and for LO. I agree with not keeping ones that don't get used, but we do love buying books :) Moving with them is a capital PITA, but it is a price we are willing to pay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1798230 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 20:58:13 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1798230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! I have a book addiction though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1798222 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 20:51:43 +0000 Bao 1798222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can never have too many! I buy my girls used books all the time. I do donate my books if they aren't an all time favorite though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1798219 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 20:49:31 +0000 Freckles 1798219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends. DH and I have stopped buying books for ourselves because we just haven't been finding the time to read them. I used to buy a lot of books for LO but lately our weekly trips to the library have been great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1798216 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 20:46:39 +0000 mrsjazz 1798216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In our small apartment, yes! We actually got rid of boxes and boxes of our own books, but now we have more room for books for her. I buy her new books all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1798195 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 20:32:34 +0000 cmomma17 1798195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Books are my favorite thing to own! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1798181 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 20:24:01 +0000 shopaholic 1798181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, yes. I'm so glad now all my books are on Kindle/ipad.<br /> For LO - no. I love building her book collection! As she outgrows some, I'll store them away for the next kid, but for right now, I don't think we can have too many! I get sick of reading some of them the same week over and over, so I like to rotate!:silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1797476 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 12:22:08 +0000 looch 1797476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, yes, if you aren't going to read them. I don't read fantasy as a genre, so it would be pointless for me to buy them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1797439 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 12:10:59 +0000 lamariniere 1797439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love buying books, but I've slowed down since it's expensive to buy English language books here, unless I order them. I miss just browsing in a bookstore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1797394 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 11:58:14 +0000 dagret 1797394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say no, DH says yes. A lot of L's favorites are getting pretty beat up, so I'm not worried about having "too many" with another on the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1797204 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 10:43:14 +0000 Springtime 1797204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1797200 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 10:42:04 +0000 Somebunny 1797200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Hi. My name is Somebunny and I'm a bookaholic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1797190 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 10:38:20 +0000 fancyfunction 1797190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! But I'm a total sucker for books. I'm always in my library's shop getting books I can't find anywhere else (and they're all $1!) My husband thinks I have a problem, but I love building a little library for M ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1797115 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 10:06:57 +0000 LuLu Mom 1797115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, never have enough books or Disney movies ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1797093 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 10:00:41 +0000 autumnlove 1797093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: Yeah, there are some books LO 1 doesn't show any interest like Llama, Llama, Frances and Olivia but I am keeping them for now because I hope the other LOs might like them in the future! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1797069 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 09:54:36 +0000 edelweiss 1797069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, i think it is possible to have too many books. there are some that never get read, and the chances of LO rediscovering and actually enjoying them are pretty low. i think periodically culling is a good idea, because otherwise we're going to end up with a mountain of books that maybe will make us feel like "oh look how many books we have!" but in reality most of them will not be used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1797061 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 09:52:26 +0000 jhd 1797061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't think you can ever have too many books! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1797053 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 09:51:41 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1797053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! My future LOs already have a bunch of books. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1796985 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 09:34:10 +0000 pui 1796985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you can "have" too many books, but I dislike having a bunch of things I will likely never use again in my house, so I only buy hard copies of my favourite books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1796984 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 09:33:52 +0000 mrsjyw 1796984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope!</p> <p>Same for us, we love the library and like buying our own books too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-have-too-many-books#post-1796982 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 09:32:48 +0000 autumnlove 1796982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:P I don't think so! We go to the library a lot but I still like buying books that I can't find there! </p>
