Right now, I'm working out the details for a monthly book giveaway contest right here on my blog called Yay for YA. One of my writing gigs involves writing a column for a local magazine, South Jersey Mom. It's called Chick Lit Pick and I receive A LOT of ARCs. So every month, I'm going to giveaway TWO books, one of my current fave YAs and a book that I read for the column. I have a hard time parting with books, but they're starting to pile up on the floor of my office. And I absolutely LOVE chatting about and sharing good books, so I can't wait to share some of my faves.
Does anyone else hoard books? Or do you hoard something else?

I just went to my first library conference and got a bunch. But I'm not ready to part with them yet. Maybe after a few more :)
I'm a complete and total book hoarder-- it's just too hard to part with them!
Very jealous of all those free ARCs of yours . . .
I do hoard books. And, well, lots of things. :)
PJ - You lucky duck.. I have to find out when there is a library conference near me. :)
Alyson - Yes, I know. Me too. It's painful, but seriously, my office is looking really cluttered.
Barrie - :) My dad hoards batteries. Says, you never know when you need them.
Great idea! I love YAY for YA! And I hoard EVERYTHING: Books, magazines, receipts, clothes, toys. It's impossible for me to throw anything away, and the clutter is getting a little out of control. Definitely time to start tossing/donating/giving away some of this stuff. You know what they say..."one woman's trash..." XO
I have a hard time parting with books, even ARCs...but it is necessary!
I always say I'm haging onto them for my kids, but the truth I need to give more away.
My kids are out of the board books stage and I have MANY that I haven't donated. And since it will probably be about 20 years before I have grandkids, I don't think I can use that excuse.
I donate pb mock-ups and MG ARC's to my daughters' school library / clasroom.
Your contests are such fun!
Hi, Alexa - Receipts? Toys can become overwhelming. :) BTW - I know who number four is. :)
Hi, Angela - My parents always bring out these old Fisher Price toys for my daughter and her cousins. There's some interesting stuff. I like the library idea. :)
I have a lot of books, but I don't hoard. Most get passed on to my grandmother or someone else.
BTW, my copy of SCREWBALL finally, arrived...I'm hooked!
Hi, Amy - Yay! I'm so glad it arrived. Enjoy!
