My books are my babies! I am trying to cull them as I have thousands collected over the years, but it's so hard. I've replaced some of my favourites that are falling to pieces with a new book. I buy books as gifts for children or give some of my 50 year old children's books to Caelin. I sold children's learning books as a career for the last 13 years of my working life. those books I am giving to a school in Vanuatu who have no books. I love your story, Katie. I didn't have books as a child but I wasn't a deprived as you.
