Another load of books going out the door

 I talked to my brother last night and told him I was going through the books--it's like drowning puppies for me.  And he said, it seems like you're always cleaning out the bookshelves.  And it's true.  Got some hard core this time. Even my husband pulled a few from his shelves. They are in the back of the van now.
