...and I love it, so phhhbt. 😁 I've already given away about 25% of what I originally had, so that's a lot into Little Free Libraries!
This is what I've been working on today. I finished emptying the armoire-desk-turned-bookshelf and dismantled it. It wasn't meant to hold that kind of weight, it was a desk. The wood was warping and breaking (well, it was particleboard). It had a lean to one side. I had it stacked two or three deep with books crammed in like a Tetris game. Unloading books into my multitude of cloth shopping bags got me 25 bags of books + two milk crates + four magazine files.

After taking the desk apart, I slid this other (the first one pictured) bookshelf over, and managed to cram 10 of the 25 bags mostly onto the top shelf of this one. I used to have it stacked like this before I converted the desk into a bookshelf, so I know it's sturdy. I've been stacking it with more and more books since I was seven. 😂
This all sounds very simple, but it was lifting piles of books, packing and unpacking them into bags, unpacking 2/3 of the other shelf so I could move it over, then repacking it even fuller. Oh, and dismantling a piece of furniture that had about a hundred pieces of hardware in it. It was fairly physical labor. Moving a bookshelf in my home is not a simple or quick task. 😃

So that's been my project du jour, and I am tired. LOL. Tomorrow I might bring the filing cabinet out into the living room and attempt to stack the rest of the books on it. We'll see. 😉
I was listening to the audiobook of The Age of Cryptocurrency while working. I really like that book. I wish more people would read (or listen to) it. What have y'all been up to today?
