NaBloWriMo #12~~Speaking of Book Hoarding~~

Well, I needed to move some books. They've been on the floor for the past, well, depending on the bag, 6 months to a year to almost 2 years...well I DID have a pretty decent excuse...I've been having surgery when I shoulda been doing other stuff.

In 2010, I wrecked my shoulder moving a fucking tank of evil hamsters off a shelf in the back room of work...They heard me swearing next door I'm sure...what a pain rush...After cortisone shots and stuff like that I had to have surgery on it. ugh

Whilst I was waiting for THAT to heal enough so that I could do Personal Torture, I ended up on the dining room floor. Then had a pacemaker put in because of my wonderful arrythmia...ugh. So I couldn't lift the bags to move the books...

In 2011, I finally bit the bullet and had the work done that my heart needed...double ugh.When you've had your chest taken apart and your giblets rearranged and some things replaced. It took 6 months before I could cough or sneeze without fearing my scar popping open and my guts pouring onto the floor...that and the fact that it hurt like a bastard. So carrying 30+ pounds of books was NOT in the picture, or the frame or anyplace ELSE in this particular art museum.

SO yesterday, I decided that I FINALLY needed to move some of them and put them in the cellar so that I'd have some room to move in the parlour.  So that I didn't forget what I had, I got the lightbulb idea to put them into my Shelfari account! Easier said than done though. Shelfari got bought out by Amazon...great. I could LINK my Shelfari account and my Amazon account...BUT I forgot my Shelfari account password.

I hadta do the old "forgot the password send me a new one" deal. That took a long time...But it finally came through and I was able to put in some of them. I still have 2 bags that had been on the floor, carried 40 pounds of books downstairs in a box, and have another shopping bag full that I took out of the car. The other shopping bag is for my sister's bday and Christmas, so that doesn't count.

Out of the two bags that I listed, there were only TWO that I couldn't get to go in either by ISBN or ISBN 13 or title or by author...I wasn't in the mood to put in a whole thing about them, so I figger that I'll accumulate a pile, then do them all as one batch.

I have, according to Shelfari, all the books that I've listed on my page, is 305! eek...

I think the link will work...if not, take my word for it...

I got a shitload of books...

I'm actually trying to sell some...TopHatter, an auction site has a group that auctions books. I have a flock in this one here with the Enchanted Arts group:
