I have 20+ boxes of books when we moved into our old apartment and we lived on the third floor, HAHAHAHAA. They weren't too happy.<br /><br />2-3 months packing is my own slow craziness. I pack a few boxes and then do nothing for a week or two, lol. And of course, lots of purging of books, clothes, etc. I try to get rid of a lot, and the bf is a bit of a pack rat who hates to get rid of anything ever.

I shall email you and give you my new address (why would you need it, I wonder?!

But I so get what you're...You poor, poor thing. But I so get what you're going through. This is why whenever I find out we're moving, I start packing like 2-3 months in advance. Because I take a LOT of time doing that looking at stuff, playing with it, putting it down and getting no packing done thing. <br /><br />Also, does this attic have regular walls or slanted walls? If it has regular walls, two 5-shelf bookcases would fit most of your books if you stack them on their sides (3 stacks of books per shelf, 4 stacks if you make one or two shelves mass market books only). And then you could get another small bookcase, or stack extra books on top of your dresser, etc. (I am a PRO at fitting massive amounts of books in small spaces.)<br /><br />Could I pretty pretty please have Walden? I've been itching for a copy ever since I read Rules of Civility.

(This book shall forever be known as 'the hat book' now) As long as she promises to review it so I can know if it's any good or not :-p I feel like people have already told me it is but yes! You're already sending me two books and it would just be mean if I were to deny her the only book she's asked for! Plus, I have a stupid number of books already. Seriously, stupid. And I've totally failed my book buying ban :-/<br /><br />In conclusion, please give Alley the hat book :-) And thanks, about the postage :-) anarmchairbytheseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593618746095559894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-46975293806137824772013-09-15T22:16:13.875+01:002013-09-15T22:16:13.875+01:00Have the Hat book!

I think it's fair enough to not be giving books away on the internet- I'm pretty much only doing it because I'm trying to SORT before I actually PACK, and they need to leave the house, like, yesterday. And I feel sad to get rid of ANY so at least I know some will go to good homes! <br /><br />I am also not buying things until after I've moved out, EXCEPT when I go to ikea next weekend, but that doesn't count because that's like furniture and shit. Also, IKEA!!! (I love ikea. It's all very exciting.)<br /><br />You ENJOY PACKING TOOOOOO, moving buddyyyy! (if we lived near each other, we could totally combine forces and help each other.

That is what packing does to my brain. What I then thought was that I am doing a lot of traipsing and sorting this weekend and I really don't want to have to do any more traipsing to the post office.

I've culled a load of stuff and there is still <i>so much</i>. It's freaking me out. But on the plus side, all of the books are now in boxes except for the 20(ish - the pile is upstairs and I am downstairs) that are going to the charity shop. I kind of thought of giving them away but then I thought, <br /><br />Your list is lucky that I am moving to or I would be all over it! As it is, I'm not permitted to acquire anything new until we are settled in the new house.
