I have been molting books since I was 16 or so. I have to shed some of these every once in a while to make room for new ones but there are some I always come back to at some time.

I read almost my books a second time and get so much more out of them because I'm not speed-reading.

I also find that I have to cull the collection about once every 10 years or so.

This is the link to NPR's 2015 Book Concierge. Click on the book covers to find a short summary and further links to reviews and some author interviews.

Fiction. Non-Fiction. Kids' Books. Cookbooks. Something for just about everybody. And don't miss the choices of categories on the left side of the page.

Thanks Boomer. I do not read as much as I should. This will give me some ideas.

I download books all the time from the Library and From Bookbub.
Yet I have to say, I am so happy when I go to the Library and come home with a bag full of interesting books!

It.s better to go to the library and check out books rather than download them imho!

You are very welcome.

I must warn you though that it is hard to stop clicking on those book covers and a whole lot of time can go by before you know it. -- But it actually helped me with a little Christmas shopping. I ordered 3 of those books and they have arrived already. And books are so easy to wrap. -- So I guess Book Concierge was actually a timesaver now that I think about it.

Have fun!
