  • 9. When It's Time to Say Goodbye to Your Books

    05:48
    Big changes are happening in my life. After years of collecting books, I've reached a point in my life when I need to get rid of some of my books. At first, I dreaded it, but as I went along, I realized that maybe now is the best time to let someone else appreciate the books that have brought me so much joy. This is how you say goodbye.Jonny Eberle is a writer, podcaster, filmmaker, and photographer. He lives in Tacoma, WA with his family, a dog, and three adorable typewriters.

    Creative Colloquy, the South Sound literary nonprofit that I'm involved with is celebrating its 10th anniversary! As someone who was there almost from the beginning, I talk a bit about the organization and why I love it. If you're in Tacoma on Monday, March 18, we're having a party with live music, featuring readings, a raffle, and more. I'm one of the readers at the event and I'll be performing a brand new short story. Details here—I hope to see you there! Also, apologies for my voice. I've been sick and still sound a bit gravelly.Jonny Eberle is a writer, podcaster, filmmaker, and photographer. He lives in Tacoma, WA with his family, a dog, and three adorable typewriters.
