Books, books and more books!
Okay, so I’m packing the house. It is daunting! I’ve been here 7.5 years and have accumulated a lot of… ah… stuff. Books in particular. But I have come to a cross roads in my packing and sorting. What do I do with books so old they have become obsolete? Old school textbooks, for example, superseded by new information incorporating new technologies. What do I do with these? Books that clearly have no use anymore
There’s a part of me screaming that they cannot be thrown away but let’s be honest, who the hell is going to want these? I don’t and I love books! Gah!
I’ve lost count of the number of boxes so far packed with books but there is a method to my packing: Blaze books; historical novels; all contemporary romance not Blaze; self-help books; books on writing; diet books (OMG I have a lot of these and the total sum of help they have offered? Zero. hmmm) reference books; travel books… you get the picture. Here’s the kicker though, I’ve even noted whether they are boxes to store or boxes to open soon after the move. Organised, huh?
Strangely though, sitting here with 10 bookcase shelves empty, I’m only halfway through. It’s quite disheartening. And scary. How on earth do I mix all the his and hers stuff when there is just so much of it?
Eh, I can only laugh and you can only wish me good luck because I haven’t touched the finance section yet ![]()
