My Boyfriend just asked me “Why do You need so many books? Can‘t you get rid of some? You have 3 shelves filled of our bookshelf....” 😳🤯🥺 We‘ve been together 5 years and STILL had to ask me this?!?! Most of my books are in storage because we don‘t have enough room for them, and a measly 3 shelves is NOTHING!!! I think my poor partner has lost his mind! 🤪🧐 #booklover #booksaremything #neverenough #handsoff
Riveted_Reader_Melissa 3 shelves 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Not nearly enough! 3y
TEArificbooks When we got married my husband said we have a space issue. You can have tbr library or keep library. So I have a whole room for my tbr library. And 14 years in I also have a wall in the bedroom for books to keep, a picture book library in my youngest‘s room, a chapter book library in the oldest‘s room, and 3 book carts by the front door of books ready for new homes, and a mobile little free library in my car trunk 3y

TEArificbooks So tell your boyfriend 3 bookshelves is not enough space for a book lover and he should count his lucky stars 3y
Soubhiville You need to show him pictures of a lot of our shelves. Give him some perspective. 3y
Soubhiville I‘m actually a bit mad at him for you. 3y
LibrarianRyan I agree with @Soubhiville. Josh kids me at time, but he is also a big enabler. I think he secretly loves it. Especially when he gets to act like a DC character to announce the Penguin is here. 🐧 🐧 😁 3y
Patchshank I haven't felt this offended since Marie Kondo said more than 10 books is unnecessary. 3y
Susanita The nerve! 3y
wanderinglynn He thinks 3 shelves is a lot? 😂🤣🤣 Clearly he needs some perspective. Or get rid of him and then you‘ll have even more space for books. 😆 3y
Sleepswithbooks Just pat him on the head and respond, “You‘re pretty.” Then go enjoy a book. Less irritating or stressful that way 😂 3y
vivastory @wanderinglynn Amen! 😂 3y
vivastory I agree with @Patchshank You should look him in the eye & tell him if he's not careful you'll have to KonMari him 3y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego 😯🤦♀️ men, lol. 3y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @Patchshank 🤣 3y
Branwen Ugh! 3 shelves?! Unacceptable! 🤣😂 Tell him if you get rid of him you'll have more room for books! 🙄 3y
wanderinglynn @Sleepswithbooks 😆🤣🤣🤣 3y
TheSpineView This is just another example of clueless men!😂 3y
Birdsong28 He should know better by now as you have been with him for 5 years! Did he expect you to turn around and say yes you are right I do have too many books! Tell him that you will get rid of the books when he gets rid of something he loves. 🙄📚📖 3y
maich 😂😂😂 Mine sometimes ask me the same. 3y
sgoffe I just moved my book collection into my boyfriend's house last week. He built me a nice big bookcase which fits my current collection but with no room to grow so now we're looking for other areas in this rather tiny house to squeeze in more shelving. We have a deal - I don't object to his tool buying if he doesn't object to my books & knitting supplies. But eventually, I will have to deal with the reality of the limited space in this house. 3y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick My boyfriend might have the audacity to make snide comments about building furniture with all of my books, but at least he hasn't suggested that I have too many. I'm sorry. How attached to the man are you? 🤣 3y
