SO MUCH
My girlfriend and I moved in together last year, which as we all know means that our book collections got married. She organized her collection by alphabetical order. Very nice. And I've just kind of put mine everywhere. Problem that I didn't expect is that we bad a few duplicates. And in Tier York City, there are only three ways of getting rid of things that you don't need anymore. Number one, you can stoop it. Like this lamp. I found it a few weeks ago. It's so freaking nice. Number two, Facebook Marketplace. One time, I found a jet engine on Facebook Marketplace. And number three is my favorite. It only applies to books, but if you go to this shop and you give your books to a lovely lady, in return, she will give you a jar of pickles. I love you, New York Tier, so much.
