Books

[affreca]

It is realitively cool, thanks to a bit of rain last night. Combine that with annoyance for having done little this weekend compared to the other human in the house, and I decided to make a storage unit run for books. For once, unpacking should be easy. All the paperbacks were packed in order, with four rows of boxes upright (why I love 10 gallon rubbermaids), and the boxes labeled 1 through 24. There are 4 units of 8 shelves each. It works out to 3/4 of a box per shelf, or 3 rows of books from each box. And there is room left over on each shelf for new books. I like it when things work out numerically like that.

I would unpack more, but Lju came to me for cuddlings while I was checking LJ. I can't move.

Wait, did you just say you had TWENTY-FOUR 10 GALLON RUBBERMAID CONTAINERS of books?

...Holy shit. That's a lot of books.

I thought we were bad with our 350-ish.

Aaahh.. You not familiar with my.. addiction.

There's 24 10 gallon tubs of paperback science fiction/fantasy, which is the majority of my collection. But there is also the 10 gallons of mysteries, the 20 gallons of stuff that got packed last minute, the 60 gallons of hardcover/trade paperbacks and the 8 boxes of nonfiction. And that's after I sold 7 10 gallons of books before the move. There's a reason I need a room for my library.
