Week 6: Books!

OK, these bookshelves probably look pretty neat and organized... and they are... some what.  But this is one of those cases where something looks neat and clean because it's not really being used because it's not actually functional.  Therefore other areas of our house are unorganized because of lack of space...space that could be better utilized here.  We have an entire room filled with my husband's books, and that room needs to soon serve another purpose (baby's room) so we need to find places to put his books.  Goodwill is apparently not an option.  :p  Probably half of the books don't need to be here because either 1, I'm never going to look at them again, or 2, I haven't even read them yet.  So step one is to weed!  Just like your pulling weeds from your garden so your plants can flourish, I shall weed my bookshelves of unnecessary books so our others can be better enjoyed :) I weeded about half of of my books, some of which I will sell because I no longer use or need them, and the others which I have not read have been placed in easy to access bins underneath my bed so that next time I need something to read I can easily pull them out and pick.  Next I was able to have Chet select a few subject areas from his collection of books and organize them on the newly vacated shelves.  Success!  Week 6:  complete!  (Disclaimer:  you will probably see "Books" as another organization project this year as we still have more of Chet's book for which we need to find permanent, easily accessible homes.)
