The Agony of the Edit: When Moving House Means Breaking Up with Your Dearest Literary Friends

As the moving date rapidly approaches, I’m faced with the hardest decluttering task of all: deciding which literary companions get a spot in the boxes and which ones must be rehomed. These aren't just books; they are dear friends, silent companions who traveled through time and offered comfort. Each volume holds a specific memory—a late night read, a tear spilled, or a chapter of life documented by dog-eared pages.

Saying goodbye feels like a true betrayal, but limited space dictates this agonizing edit. It’s time to trust that these stories will find a new reader who needs them just as much as I once did. This bittersweet moment of moving on is the toughest chapter in the moving process. 🖤
