15. Make a list of every book on Mt. To Be Read
Three of my best friends came over a week before my hip surgery and helped me get a great start on organizing, sorting, and cataloging books for my home library. I put together a simple spreadsheet with title, author, notes, how many copies, and if it's a BookCrossing book or not. My friends and I made it through almost 50 of my 70-something boxes. I did the others on my own, six of them today to finish off this project. There are a few books here and there around my house I haven't entered in yet. But I'm pretty sure I've got nearly all of them.
Most of my books have made it onto my library shelves already, which I'm thrilled about. I'm going to need to build or buy a few extra shelves because some of mine are bowing or I need more per bookcase. But so far I'm really thrilled with my progress in setting up my home library. And I'm thrilled to finally have a full list of every book I own that I need to read. I'd better start reading!
EDIT 9/28/14: Oh no. I just found 3 more boxes. Whoops! Where am I going to find the space for them on the shelves?
EDIT #2 9/28/14: I just went through the 3 boxes... still don't know how to fit them onto the shelves, but I've updated the count.
