Bookcase Blogging: Days 2-3

(Ow.)

Between yesterday and today, I boxed all of the books that were residing in the living room, plus the books in three more seven-foot bookcases.  As a result, my dining room now contains more books than are absolutely necessary; what it no longer contains, as it happens, is a table.  Ah, well--I needed to replace that table, anyway.
Yesterday was also the last day that I needed to move seven-foot bookcases around, which is a Good Thing.  (5'3'' woman + 7' bookcases = occasionally awkward moments.)  I relocated six of the bookcases to the smaller bedroom, although one of them didn't fit where it was supposed to fit.  (It was too wide by about 2 centimeters!)  All of the religion books will find a temporary abode in here; eventually, some of the books in my office will take their place.  (And I'll even have lots of space left over!)
Meanwhile, in this game of musical chairs--er, books--some of the smaller bedroom's denizens are now living in the, well, living room.   (Hooray! Still more space!) After all this is completed, early in July (hah!), everything that used to be in the living room will be in the main library. 

In case you were wondering, I received ample assistance with my Herculean labors:

wait, what happened to the table?

The table (which, incidentally, was one step above grad student furniture) rolled out to the curb, where it was promptly appropriated by someone in search of free furniture. (Seriously. It was gone in about an hour.)

I was down to one chair, as the other three had all slowly but surely collapsed; this was a source of some amusement in the LP family. (See under: one step above grad student furniture.)

Do you have any special system for how you put books into the boxes to maximize the amount of books that can fit? And where did you get the boxes? And am I just a little too interested in your books and your boxes? *LOL*

Disraeli is, obviously, inspecting your work. I think you'd adequately packed that box.

You would be a Bibliophile in my estimate..is that the right word for collector of books..I am reading a PG wodehouse book right now - the Little Nugget different from the rest of his books, the Jeeves and Psmith series. Full Moon and Pigs have wings were hilarious. Janet Jeyapaul India -homecurry.blogspot.com

Have you cataloged your books yet on the internet?
