I have so many magazines and books. My hubby built me a bookcase for my magazines, and I do need another one. I also have more in other bookcases.
If my hubby told me to get rid of them, I couldn't, as there are so many, where would I start and how can I know what I want to keep. Also I guess he knows not to ask. I really could open a library in my house, with the amount of books, magazines I have. Maybe your hubby could build a bookcase to hold them, or buy some of those plastic containers with lids on them and archive them, at least you will still have them.
Best of luck....
