part 369 prohibition cocktails

[aphanon_meme]

Meme, you did it! And on Christmas, too!! How fancy. How was your year? It's almost the new year and I don't know about anyone else, but I'm excited to enter the 20s. We can finally bring back some excellent slang, like "That sounds berries to me!" or "I guess I'd describe myself as a cancelled stamp." Have a good year... and don't take any wooden nickels!

Enjoy part 369!

Anon, you have a strength I can't even imagine. I find it so hard to give up books, even ones that have been on my "to read" shelf for a decade ;;; I love having a collection...

What did you get rid of?

YOU GOT RID OF 70 BOOKS?!?!

anon you are amazing, oh I don't envy that decision ;;;

I have only shelves but boxes and boxes stuffed with books everywhere in the house.

well, for me it's like: is this a book i could easily borrow from the library. have i read this book in the past year, or at all. what is the realistic likelihood that i want to read this book now, or reread it, in the coming years.

i'd gathered a lot of books from book sales and stuff that were like 'oh, i might want to read this, and it's cheap, so i'll keep it around as a reminder' /shoves into the abyss of 923820498 'reminders' to be forgotten forever.

what's harder to part with is weird vintage/antique books. i might never read them but they are genuinely cool/rare as objects, like not SUPER rare but possibly worth selling, or if i were to want them back they wouldn't be available at the library. haven't been able to part with any of those yet.
