This must be part three, but my complicated numbering and labeling system is complicated and I’m glad we’re almost done with books!
We finished the 2 non-fiction shelves that are in the family room. I forgot to track specifically how many bags we filled because I was so focused on trying to even FIND bags. haha.
We’re up to 33 filled bags, one large cardboard flat full of books, another box (I think it originally held a ream of paper) full, and our entire dining room table is covered in books that I need to box or bag. I suspect we’ll be close to 50 bags once I manage to find some bags.
I also think we’ll be donating the bulk of our books to Books4Cause since our FOL can’t handle this many books. These folks will come pick them up or we can throw them in the car and drive them over — they’re really close to us and it shouldn’t be a problem to do that, if need be.
Next up: Magazines. (Cookbooks won’t be far behind … I just need to clear space for TW to go through them and find some more bags, sheesh.)
I’ve been following all of this and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve muttered “whoa.” The tshirts were the first. But these books. THESE BOOKS. I know you all are readers, but WHOA. I want to sit on the floor and just be surrounded by your books and hope they don’t fall over and crush me!
Okay but in the end I really want to know how many Billys you emptied. (And what are you doing to do with those Billys?)
Cheering you on!
I’m really impressed with y’all.
