Last night in a sudden burst of motivation this finally happened. All of my cookbooks are now located on top of a DVD storage cabinet near the kitchen, rather than in a pile on the floor. My favorite writers now occupy the long wall shelf near the bed, and other fiction that I’m likely to thumb through when trying to remember a line is set up on a bookcase in the bedroom. What didn’t fit there is taking up the majority of two other bookcases in the spare room.

Most importantly, one large box was filled of books to give away, and multiple boxes were filled with books to keep stored. Until we move, I think this can be checked off.
