Day 7 - Set of Books

So the history of this item might be a bit embarrassing! I have a set of The Chronicles of Narnia that was purchased in elementary school, and I have never got around to reading them! Most people have a book collection, but how many of us actually cull those on a regular basis? I am usually pretty good about it although I kidded myself for YEARS that I was going to get around to reading these! It is one thing to look over at the bookcase and tell myself that there is a book that I need to read. It is quite another thing to look over and see 7 in a row!!! I like to think of it as giving permission to let go of physical and mental clutter. If and when I ever get the urge to read The Chronicles of Narnia, I am sure the library will have me covered.

  1. Hi Stephanie,
    Day 7 good for you. I remember when I first started my challenge of 365 less things now I am up to 210. So keep plodding along because slow and steady wins the race.

  2. I did pretty much the same thing -- bought the set, then read only the first 2.5 books. Kept them for years and years and eventually gave them to someone who wanted them. I, too, figure they will be in the public library if I ever need them.
