clean out my bookcases and reorganize them

It’s like an obsession – go to the second hand shops and buy books. I’m finding the styles of books I’m collecting is changing though.

All I have to do now is start reading through the books and deciding which ones not to keep. The rejects can go back into second hand book shops for recycling.

Then I bought more books, yet still have not cleared out some of the old unwanted books. Then to add to that my daughter gave a pile of her study books to add to my shelves. This is just not working as I’d hoped.

To replace the temporary shelving I have up at the moment. It was a real bargain at an op shop – all it will need is a new coat of paint (but that can wait for now).

I’ve been slowly moving more books up to the room I call my library. There is also boxes of things belonging to my eldest daughter cluttering that room up. At present I have boxes and a suitcase full of books scattered all over this room. I need to work more on this to tidy things up and arrange books in subject order so they are easier to sort through and find.

I must make sure my eldest daughter works on this with me over her UNI break.

I’ve moved most of my books to a new room – delegated to be my library. I’m still sorting them onto the shelves. I would like to cull a few of them, but I like to hoard books and I keep buyng more. Hopefully I will be able to part with many of the unlikely to be read again books I have.
