Hi, I'm An Addict.

So, I will admit, I have a problem. I have an addiction-esque problem. I love paper. Whether in journal form, notebook form, or more noticeably, book form. I love books. I like to read. I love bookstores; especially old ones, or ones that sell used books. I have not read every book that I own. I continue to grow my library and therefore, have to make some hard decisions every once in a while... I have to decide which books to take off of my shelves and put in a box for storage because there are just too many to "display", and I need the space for new additions (especially since I can't just add more bookshelves to my living space!)

These pictures are the product of my latest decision makings. I now just have to find space for two large under-the-bed totes, and four smaller under-the-bed sized totes (why not just put them under my bed? An excellent question, and one that I will answer if you read to the end of this post). A decision I made when I was working on this project was to write the name and author of every book I own - intending to put it on a spreadsheet, so that I can have inventory of my collection. While I was thus documenting my books, I "found" some books that I'd forgotten I even had! I made another decision that as soon as I am done reading my current book (and the subsequent following two books in the series... Harry Potter - which I've not read before), I am going to read these "lost" treasures that I have rediscovered! :) I am excited! I am also looking forward to some looong summer days when I can do nothing but read.

I shall probably post more pictures with my "projects" as I complete them. I have already gone thru my movies and have four totes of them under my bed as we speak (or, as I type this), which is why I need to find space for book totes now. I don't know what my next project will be, but it will be a good one ;) It might be another addiction, or it might be a pet peeve - such as having no closet. Maybe it will be a grand solution to my sock-bucket issues...
Thanks for reading! Keep the Peace.
