[quote=Anonymous]She has hundreds, as do we. But hers are actually more merited than ours. I rarely read books again after reading them once (though generally DH and I will read everything at some point so at least two people are eating it). But DD really does read a lot of her books. She rereads a lot of her chapter books, especially series, and still goes back and reads some of her favorite picture books (she's 8). We do go through and purge periodically but if she says she wants to keep a book, I let her. At this point a significant amount of her reading is from the library and she's reading longer chapter books so her acquisition of books has slowed (if she loves a book from the library and wants to reread it, we will often buy it used online), so I don't really mind holding onto the books from when she was younger if she wants to.

I also think a lot of our books, she'll eventually read. She loves science fiction and fantasy and we have a lot of that. So that may pay off eventually too.[/quote]
