Welcome to the Book Blogger Hop!
This Week's Prompt:
If you had to, would you pass your book collection on to someone special? If not, what would you prefer your family, or friends do with your books after you’re gone?╍Submitted by Billy, Coffee-Addicted Writer.
My Answer:
I’m a bachelor, so I don’t have any children to whom I can pass my books after I die. If I ever get married and have kids—which is a big if—I would leave my books to my family. I don’t have any close friends, so if my parents are still alive, I would leave my books with them. They can choose to sell them, donate them, or give them away to someone else; it really doesn’t matter to me. After all, I would be gone, so my feelings about it wouldn’t count. If only I could be buried with all of my books!

I pretty much had the same answer. I will likely leave them to my niece and nephew. What happens after that is beyond my control. Though I wouldn't mind being buried with my unread ones! Lol.

I didn't do the post today, but I have told my son to donate to the library or hospital or stuff some little free libraries. He reads, but won't want to transfer all of the books I have to his home. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same. Stories are meant to be read, not stored out of guilt. If no one felt a personal connection to them, I’d rather they be donated to a library, a community organization, or passed along to other readers who will actually open them.Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteI have kids but they are too young at the moment to really appreciate them. My other option would be my sister. I doubt my partner would want them. Like you say I won't be there so it won't bother me 😂
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Hopefully, certain titles will go to friends/family who I know will appreciate them, and then my poor wife will be saddled with taking care of the rest in a humane manner.
ReplyDeleteI do hope my family would donate my books to the library if there are any that they do not wish to keep. This is a good question to ponder on and ask them what they would do. Have a good weekend!
