Book Organizing Tackle
You know you are a homeschooler when you never have enough bookshelves.
Look familiar? Most of my books are still in boxes from my move last November. I am tackling them this week. I had to save up to order the bookcases. I got 15% off the regular price.
I ordered one five-shelf bookcase from Target to be sure I could put it together. It took a few hours to assemble but it looks very nice, very sturdy.
Seven more “espresso” bookshelves should arrive today so I’ll spend the week assembling bookcases, then organizing the books. These bookcases will go in my office and living room. I have white Billy bookcases on my wish list for bedrooms and family room from IKEA awaiting the finances to purchase.
Wish List Bookcases
I am blessed with a master bedroom big enough to fit this corner unit.
This one will hold books for schoolwork next to our dining table, a nice 93 inches high.
I’ve shared this quote previously to express how I feel about my books.
Even when reading is impossible, the presence of books acquired produces such an ecstasy that the buying of more books than one can read is nothing less than the soul reaching towards infinity… we cherish books even if unread, their mere presence exudes comfort, their ready access, reassurance. –A. E. Newton (1863-1940)
I’ll try to post the photo results next Tuesday. I can’t tell you how bad I want my books on the shelves. Hope you all have a good tackle.

All you need now, Robin, is bookshelves meant for the bathroom! We’re still looking, because it’s the only spare wall space we still have!

Would you mind posting photos of the finished area when you are all done. I was contemplating this same shelving system with a matching desk for my family room and would love to see how it fits into your decor.
Have fun stocking your new bookshelves! We love books too and can never have enough books or shelves.

Hi Robin,
Hope all is well with you.
You recommended an online note jotting / sharing tool to help to organize your work/home to do list. Are you still using it? What is the name of the product?
Warm regards,
Jenny
