Pulling it together

Book packing - completed!

I've finally finished cataloging and packing all of the books I am keeping (there are a couple of shelves worth that are going to the used book store, but I'm giving friends first crack at them.)

I now know exactly how many books I have.  That is absolutely incredible to me.  Now...I need to finish tagging them for easy reference.  I did end up using LibraryThing.com to catalog them, but it was worth the money.

Now I can see the gaping holes in my collection and actually fix them.  ^_^

Now...on to my next two major projects:  the DVDs and making decisions on the magazines I've been carting around forever.  I have a bunch of Japanese magazines and photo-books, out of print/rare niche magazines, and things I just wanted to hold on to because there was a recipe or article that I was meaning to scan.  Well, now is the time to make those decisions.  Probably...I will keep most of the Japanese stuff regarding Gackt, and my print copies of The Green Egg from the early 1990s.  Possibly my old copies of Run and Compute Magazines.  Everything else will probably have to go away.  *sobs*   

So much work left to be done, but I'm confident that I will be able to finish it before the end of the month.  Wish me luck!
