message 1015: by Dichotomy Girl (new)

Dichotomy Girl (dichotomygirl) | 403 comments Well, I didn't get any reading done this weekend...but, I went through, cleaned out, and re-organized all the bookcases in our house. We currently have 11 (!) for the 3 of us. I weeded out a big plastic tote worth of books that none of us will ever read again. I read so many ebooks, that my bookshelves are now dedicated to my absolute favorites. I was able to move some of my childhood favorites into the 6 year old's room as she learned to read this year (and has listened to some of them on audiobook already).

And, I found a whole bunch of books behind other books that I had completely forgotten I owed and want to read...so yay!

Dichotomy Girl (dichotomygirl) | 403 comments So I failed majorly on my goals yesterday. I snuck out of work and kidnapped my husband to go see Wonder Woman. Then he surprised me with a special action figure / figurine for my new bookcase (Jayne from Firely), so last night ended with a spontaneous Firefly Marathon. My Husband is on Vacation all week, so I might not get much reading done, but I actually get to see him, so that's even better! :)
