It's Getting Real

Oh my goodness folks!  The move is just around the corner...three more days and I will be waking up in my new home.  At the moment though I am feeling rather desolate as all of my many bookshelves look like this.

It is really weird and oddly monochromatic to have all of my books packed away and nothing but sad empty shelves staring back at me.  Of course the upside to all of this is that in my new house all of my friends are coming with me.

Here are 16 of the 22 boxes that are filled with nothing but books that are coming with me...and that is after I *gasp* actually donated some of them.  I am so ready to be at my new home with my Hubbin, my book nook and all of my literary friends.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Packing Up The Library

Started packing up all of my books today.  I was going to wait until a little bit closer to the move, but realized that as I started packing up the first round of books in the spare room...it takes me forever.  See, I can't just grab a handful of books and put them into boxes.  Apparently I have to open every book, read the back cover, scan through the book, exclaim over how I forgot I had this particular book (between Hubbin and I we have over 700 books and counting).

Sometimes I even start actually reading the book and totally forget that I am packing in the first place.  With the amount of books I have this makes for a potentially very time consuming task.  This is why even though I'm not moving for over a month I am still gonna go ahead and start packing the tomes now.  Of course if all my books are packed I'll have to buy more to read until we move and then a couple more to read until I unpack the books...that is completely reasonable right?!?

Important Packing

Getting ready for my vacation!!! YAY!!! SOOOOO EXCITED!!!! Of course I have started with the most important part of packing.

These are the books that are coming with me on the cruise, all divided into their appropriate summer categories (SciFi, Mermaids, Pirates, Mystery, Fantasy, Hubbin and Misc.)  I can't wait!!!!  I will list them all in a couple of days, but now MORE PACKING OF BOOKS!  Happy Reading Everybody!
