I feel like everyone's teaching to the test - and it makes life hard for those of us teaching subjects NOT on the test (music!). Funds for us are not top priority. <br /><br />I don't have a huge book collection - two bookcases. My ereader has helped with that, but it's mostly because I don't buy unless I have a gift card, or see it for very cheap!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00068505185508588407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-59438992408410240942011-04-10T13:46:05.553-07:002011-04-10T13:46:05.553-07:00We've been in our current apartment for almost...We've been in our current apartment for almost 4 years and I still have books in storage that I have no room for, can't bear to go through them just yet. One day I hope to have a home with lots of room for books.<br /><br />We are in practice test mode for our state test which is the week of May 12th.

However I'm still painting and waiting for bookshelves to be delivered so like you, books are everywhere you look at the moment!Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-40715903912091536822011-04-10T11:39:29.285-07:002011-04-10T11:39:29.285-07:00I live in a partial studio, so I am definitely lim...I live in a partial studio, so I am definitely limited in my acquisition of books. I keep my absolute favorites, giveaway the rest, or loan them out to fellow readers never to be seen again. It pains me to part with them, but I rarely go back to them once I've read them unless I want to loan them out or reread. And with all of the books I have on my list, my rereads will probably occur once I retire :) Good luck getting through those tests!Short Story Slorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09139511411002760755noreply@blogger.com
