Project Attempted Deck Clearance

A few years ago the loft looked like this:

motivating an enthusiasm for riddance




 

 

14 - FOURTEEN - boxes of books, as detailed on t'other blog, with five full sets of shelves downstairs. 

Clingy! And unfathomable now. I mean, we've moved house, actually AND figuratively. 

Them boxes is well gone. Now, after reading, books are either integrated into the shelves or moved on with gratitude (cf Marie Kondo etc).

Still, after quite a sea change, and although engaged in a quite modish regimen of micropiling, there remain, nonetheless, quite a few piles of books. 

So in an attempt to accelerate this particular reader, and to inaugurate this blog recommencement, I'm working through a strict regimen of No New Books* Until All The Unread Books Are Read.  The great Attempted Deck Clearance Project!

And you can read all about it here!

Dust covers

chalkboard. Text: "Feed the Minds. Booksale today."

Hi 

 This is the third recommencement of a blog. It's concerned with books, and words, mainly how they're contained in books, but also how words show up in other places as well. 

 It's a place where I can keep notes on responses to tomes, favourable and not, mine and other people's, as well as general notes on writing that is non-bookular. 

Mainly books, though. It's a blog I've set going previously, then promptly forgot about in the busyness of keeping up different interests. So, this time, the dust covers are intended to stay off the furniture. 

 THIS TIME! I tells ya...
