Typically when I am done with my books, I let my 10 year old have them and as she ends up with a little stack between what I have read and she has read, I take her to a used book store and let her trade them in and get herself more books.

I mostly read ebooks on my iPad. But I collect hardbacks from my favorite authors. And when I pick up paperbacks — or a box comes from my club — I have a special way to get them to my mother in prison. She started a library in her unit and shares them with everyone … everyone that respects books, that is.

I get 90 percent of books from the library, so I just return them. The few I buy are ones I want to keep.
Thanks for the contest.
