I've been trying to get my hubby to donate some of the numerous books in his collection so that our son can have his room back. All of our books are currently taking up space in my son's room. I thought it might make it easier for my husband to let go of the physical books themselves now that he has the digital copies of them stored on various devices. Hmm, maybe if I gave him some ideas of what to do with them. Here's what I came up with so far:
Make A Book Chair
Donate Them to the Book Vending Machine
Birds Like Books Too
Book Fashionista
Gateway to Another World
Or A Hobbit Hole
See? There are lots of choices. Oooh, I think he'll like this recipe for book smoothies. Hopefully we can find some happy solutions here. Write on people!
Funny ideas of what to do with your books. Good luck getting your husband to let go. I have a hard time with my husband getting rid of anything.
ReplyDeleteHi Natalie, honestly, I feel his pain. Who wouldn't love to have their own library filled with beautiful books!
DeletePersonally, I favor the Hobbit Hole. Thanks, Kris
ReplyDeleteAs long as there's a swimming pool out back!
DeleteLOL. YOu could also build a maze of books like they did last year at the London Book Fair.
ReplyDeleteHi Michael,
DeleteOoohhh, I love that idea. Thanks for sharing.
Cool ideas. I love the hobbit hole. Maybe your husband could retreat there with his hard copies and his book chair. I don't care if I fill a hundred cases, they will have to pry the inked paper from my cold dead hands, lol!
ReplyDeleteSusan, if we had the space in our tiny house, I'd have beautiful coffee table books, design books and classic novels.
DeleteI have been told my books cases are a mess . But I don't think any of the ideas posted here are going to work for me :( "O" well I guess I'll just have to think about it. KC
ReplyDeleteHi KC,
DeleteEnjoy your books and appreciate how lucky you are to have the space!
All terrific ideas! Except maybe the book smoothie.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, somehow I don't think we'd get too far in those shoes either.
DeleteWonderful ideas! And I do have a lot of books too. I might try the bird feeder with my grandkids. Beryl
ReplyDeleteBeryl, you may even be able to use thrift store books for that one.
DeleteHysterical! I favor the chair and the birdhouse.

Hi Kathy, yes, it just goes to show how multi-use books can be! (chuckle)
DeleteLove this post! I vote for a book castle with its own book dragon. (Just don't let him sneeze!)
ReplyDeleteOoohhh, I wanna live there! Thanks for stopping by and sharing the fun, Judy!
DeleteIf only there was a way to convert books into chocolate chip cookies, I would eat them.

Sounds like someone needs a batch of Hilde's best! I'll pass along the message. Thanks Lupe!
