Friday report

[adair]

I have not done much this week. I cleared out a bunch of books (in boxes in the garage) that will need to come back, at least for a while. We are enjoying the empty space, and the surfaces we cleared for Mike's visit. I hope that serves as an inspiration to let go of more books, and more paper reading, so this lovely space can stay. I do need to bring the books back in so I can sort through them and pull a batch to take to Books to Prisoners. Some day, possibly this winter, I need to pull books from my double-shelved spaces so I can see what is behind, and what I can let go. List making is needed, so I can find the books in back, and remember what I have. My LibraryThing lists need to be checked and locations noted. So much data to manage.

Oh, I hear you on the managing of books. I still have some tagged with 'not seen in 2011 check', so I really feel the pain on that one. (I have teetering mounds of possibly uncatalogued books, and three kids rooms with books that I'm probably getting duplicates of because I don't already know we have them). Personally, I think we need to lose 1000 books to be under control and get rid of the temporary bookshelves in the games room, so I hope that yours isn't quite so bad!
