Finally, one month later than I thought it would take to finish cataloging my books, I am finished! (I admitted to Colby I thought it would only take me three days and he laughed at me.) Because I am borderline OCD, not only did I catalog the books but I arranged them in bins alphabetically by author's last name. The grand total is....wait for it...4,058. (Colby estimated that I had 4,000 and he was right.) Now that number does not include the approximately 400 duplicate books that I had in my possession. I know what you all are wondering, and no, I have not read them all but I would estimate that I have read at least 85% of the books in my possession, if not more. The garage is now jokingly referred to as the "library" since that is where most of the books are stored.

Awesomeness! Hey Jess, do you have a good book I could borrow? :)
That is really cool. Until you move! :)
I just love you to pieces. We should go on a nice picnic, lay on a blanket with a good book and then take a nap while everyone else is searching for arrowheads.
and I totally know about the spring one day winter the next. It was so nice and then wham more snow. Boo! I'm ready for warm.
Crazy! Can I check some out? I know you've got the GOOD ones. :)
Broke down and watched "Twilight" last night... I need to borrow the series now.
That is SO many books!
Where are they going when you move?
I'll house some of them for you! :)
