unclutterI got 17 books out of the house this week; that is 32 so far this month. Slow but steady seems to be what I aim for. I'd like to clear shelves at a time, but clearly I can't move that fast in the book removal process.
I also continued entering books in my LibraryThing account. I have 3904 books entered so far; I have been a member since 2006, but not always entered everything I bought, or even finished entering those I already had. Getting most of my books there is part of editing what I keep; some are tagged moved on and entered in the Moved On collection. Others are sent away without ever being entered. I am working on the east wall of my living room, and tagging each book with its location so I can find it when I want it.
The latest shelf I finished has fandom-related books - Firefly, Serenity, Homicide, Blake's 7, Blade Runner, Buffy, Angel. There's a little space left on the shelf; I am saving it for other fandom books I find as I work up; I see Space:Above and Beyond up there, and Babylon 5, Beauty and the Beast, and Forever Knight, and I know Alien Nation books are somewhere. They may not all fit on this shelf, but at least they will be grouped.
Other decluttering has been fairly standard; look through the paper piles on the two tables where they accumulate and do something with them. The piles are not gone, but they are smaller and a couple of important things were found and dealt with before it became a problem. We are expecting heavy snow tonight and tomorrow. That means I will not have to go anywhere to do anything, and I can do a little more paper sort.
Excelsior!
