AJ noted someone did a Marie Kondo Challenge and decided to give it a go and so have I! So…What 30 Books would I keep if I could only keep 30? Well I mean the ones pictured for sure…but let’s see what else (and that’s impressive since I don’t have my final/physical copy of Descendant of the Crane)

Well there we have it, I would cry and throw a fit if the rest of my books could not stay but these are the ones I guess I couldn’t do without, that I own already.
But let’s be real. I’m not getting rid of most of my books anytime soon, and I’ve loved almost every book I’ve read that I own, and if I don’t, well, out it goes.
What about you? Did you do this prompt? Send me your links for it! And if you didn’t, what books would you want to keep?

Great post. It is so hard to know what books I would keep if I were to try and get rid of some. Even if one keeps all their books, just the mental exercise of trying to pick would be enough to make me scream NO STOP NO!

I somehow forgot to add the Harry Potter series on my list and I feel like such a fraud 😁 I have this gorgeous hardcover of Wuthering Heights that I’m definitely keeping. Great list! I wrote mine here https://sakhilewhispers.wordpress.com/2019/04/04/30-books-id-keep-if-i-were-marie-kondo/

I don’t own many books, and like you, I usually like the books that I do keep most of the time. I’d keep Opposite of Always, Cage of Deceit, American Panda (when and if I get a copy) – actually, I’d keep all of the books that are signed by authors. There’s something special and personalized about keeping them, so those would be my priority for sure.
