Book Shelfs, New Acquisitions January-March 2013

Although my book shelfs are overflowing with tomes I haven’t read, the temptation to add just a bit more always win over reason.

Sure I have plenty to last a few years but with books it’s never enough.

This time my loot was quite good, nine books in all.

I finish unpacking all of the books and made some temporary shelfs from some cardboard boxes.

This is basically everything I have bought in the last 6 years, most of it I have not yet read.

Going throught all the books and organizing them I found the book which is my intention to read to reach 1,000,000 pages.

It’s “American Gods” by Neil Gaiman, this particular edition is a paperback that was a birthday present from my beautiful wife some 7 years ago.

P1020630

 So it went to the top shelf where it will need to wait for about 18 years.

Well back to reading and planning a new project ECO.LECTORES more news coming soon.

Happy Readings!!!!

Book Shelfs, Part Two

I made a little progress in unpacking some of my books, that’s the good news.

Now I came to realize that I have a lot and that’s not the bad news, you can never have too many books.

What you can have is too little shelf room, that’s really the bad news.

So I had to improvise a little.

As you can see the space in the book case filled up rapidly, so I had to convert some cardboard boxes into temporary shelf.

I hope to finish this week so my reading space can get back to normal.

For now I will keep using the dinner table as my reading spot

Book Shelfs, Part One

The not so great part of moving is that you have to pack, in our case for the most part the boxes sitting around are fill with books, which is awesome but kind of a pain in the ass when is time to organize them.

The challenge is that back in the old apartment we had a custom made bookshelf on the wall of the living room that housed most of the books.

So what to do here.

IMPROVISE!!!!
