Descant (one of my favorite literary magazines!) recently wrote a post about cleaning off the bookshelf. Some titles are impossibly hard to part with, no matter how embarrassing. Yes, I’m talking about my entire Baby-Sitters Club series. Others, not so much.

Their suggestions range from the charitable to the communal to the depressing, but they do have a point. You can’t hang onto books forever.

When you’re done with a title, what do you do with it? And what books can’t you part with?
