A good book on the shelf is comforting intellectual wallpaper

A Library, Collected is now on Instagram!

The Library...in Boxes

This is what 1800+ books look like when moved from a three bedroom house to a two bedroom apartment.  They are stacked in the dining area of our apartment so what you're seeing is the tip of the iceberg of boxes stacked 5 to 6 high and 4 to 5 wide.  It is going to be A LOT of work getting these on to the shelves...and I lost one of my largest bookshelves in the move.  It just fell apart! Luckily, I have another book shelf at my mom's that I can use for my movies and now use the movie book shelf for books.  Stay tuned for pics of the finished library.  I will also start adding my book catalog to the blog soon.
