But I now have quite a few shelves full of books that are taking up too much space! I moved 4 months ago and did give some away to a friend, but not enough. I finally stopped buying altogether after I moved, but there are a couple of Epics I want to get when they come out. For the most part I have broken my OCD cycle of buying. What finally broke my cycle of buying was moving to a smaller place and realizing I no longer have the extra room for hoarding books.
