Ok littens serious question time!

Are 1.5 Game of Thrones books enough for an 11 day vacation where I will have anywhere from one afternoon-evening to several to myself?

TrishB How fast do you read? 2y
BethM @TrishB when I‘m left alone? I‘m not slow 🤷‍♀️ 2y
TrishB More then 😁 2y
squirrelbrain I agree with @TrishB - it‘s not enough! 😁 2y

When Baby Bird leaves your nest empty, your basement turns into a box jungle. As soon as you decide to move, that's the time to start packing; it's also when you finally finishing unpacking the previous move🤦‍♀️😂

You know you have a book obsession when more the half of your books are packed, you‘ve packed your books to take with you, and your already stressing about your tbr books that your not going to see for a while 👀😳📖📚📚📚

Tamra Good luck! 5y
Leftcoastzen Aaaaahhhhhhhh!📦📦📦📚📚📚How sad in a way when you posted about the move I thought , how many books can move with you!😂 5y
Ddzmini @Tamra thank you @Leftcoastzen oh I‘m taking all of them but I‘m flying out with the bag and my computer bag but the rest will follow with the rest of out things and that will take 3-4 weeks 😝😋📖 5y

dragondrool I hate when I carefully curate my selection for a trip, and then partway through said trip my brain dredges up a certain title I wish I had with me but don't. I tend to be hounded by thoughts of the too-far-away title for the rest of the trip. 5y
Ddzmini @dragondrool I know I‘m already doing that and I haven‘t even finished packing the books yet 🤣🤣🤣📚📖 5y
jfalkens @dragondrool @Ddzmini books are always the last thing I pack for that reason 5y
Ddzmini I know I‘m thinking about taking a separate suitcase for books and my computer a whole suitcase 🧳 😳👀 @jfalkens and @dragondrool 5y
jfalkens @Ddzmini sounds like a good idea, especially since you said it'll take 3 to 4 weeks for the rest of the books to arrive. Otherwise you could get a library card right away and rent books that are in transit, depending how much it is to fly with the extra suitcase if they do it by weight 😱 5y
Ddzmini @jfalkens I‘m going to have the books suitcase as a carryon 😝 because I know it will be over the weight limit and I‘ll have my computer in it as well 5y
jfalkens @Ddzmini ahhh books do always seem to be the heaviest boxes! 5y

You don't realize how many books you have until you are moving homes. So far, 11 boxes of books are packed. 😶

I have been disappeared for weeks because boyfriend were moving in together and packing over 400 books plus everything I own takes lots of time and energy. Moving day is the only time I regret a little bit being a reader. But just a little bit.

2 boxes, 2 carry on suitcases, 1 giant suitcase, and 1 laundry basket full of books and still have all these books to pack!

I also need to keep at least 10-15 books unpacked so I can keep reading the rest of June and July.

How do you pack up your books?! Any tips?

Slajaunie I don‘t seal the tbr box until it is actually moved. 6y
wanderinglynn I try to pack books in the smaller banker-type boxes. I usually do the bottom with hardback books, then the top with paperbacks to try to limit the weight because a box full of hardbacks tends to be really heavy. If I‘m using a larger box, I do a layer of hardbacks, a layer of paperbacks, then put light-weight things on top, like decorations, pillows, towels. Again to keep the weight reasonable. Good luck! 6y
Laughterhp @wanderinglynn Thanks! That‘s a really good tip! I‘m trying to make them not too heavy, but I couldn‘t figure out how I should do it. 6y

1. I am an army brat so moving was our thing. How many times? 5 times before the age of 12. That is enough counting. Guess at the rest. 2. I moved from Kansas to Okinawa to Hawaii to Missouri to Korea to Louisiana. 3. 25? More? Not sure. 4. Forever home! 5. Movers in military and the last time I moved. @JoScho

Most of you know we've been using cinder blocks and boards for our bookshelves. We listed them on FB to sell, and someone said they could grab them tonight. So, we quickly packed all 1,500+ books and stacked everything outside... hoping this guy actually shows up because it looks like were building a wall. 😂

kspenmoll Best of luck!!! With the move & moving these cinderblocks! 6y
Rachel.Rencher @kspenmoll Thank you! Thankfully the guy showed up for them. He's going to build a chicken coop 🐣 6y

The hardest part of packing is always the books! I've whittled it down to these four for my holiday trip home (including one from #booktoteswap, gifted by the wonderful @Caffienequeen ), plus my awesome new bookmark from @4thhouseontheleft 📚 ✈️🎄

AmyG What a nice bookmark! 6y
alisiakae @Ajessgirl It sounds like you will be leaving NYC as we get there! That‘s probably where I will mail the next #LMPBC book from. 😃 I‘ll be in NY & CT visiting family Dec 28-Jan 3. Glad you like the bookmark! 6y

Ajessgirl @4thhouseontheleft We are ships passing in the night! I think the holidays are the best time to visit - enjoy all the lights and trees!! 6y
alisiakae @Ajessgirl Thanks!! We‘re actually avoiding most of the touristy stuff, and focusing on family. And food. 😜 And bookstores! We used to live near the city, so we‘ve been there a ton of times! Enjoy your trip home! (edited) 6y

For the people who won't think I'm insane: My library is finally packed! I'm definitely getting the uhaul book boxes next time! My hubby had already bought these by the time i heard about them, so I used them, but I probably packed them too heavy. Glad we have a dolly! 😂😂😂

Captivatedbybooks How's the uhaul book box different from a regular box? 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Yeah books are so heavy 🙃📚 7y
Amandajoy @Captivatedbybooks Uhaul has small boxes for books so you can't pack them too heavy. Makes them much easier to lift. 7y

On my way to get more boxes... (not even halfway through the library😂😂)

Amandajoy Uhaul sells book boxes. I found those to be the best because you couldn't pack them too heavy. 7y
The_Literary_Jedi Sometimes grocery stores and smaller retailers will also let you have boxes. They won't be uniform sized but free is good 😀 7y
drokka I don't know where you are, so this may not apply, but liquor stores are a box bonanza, and since the bottoms are glued, they can take the wait of books. Like @The_Literary_Jedi said, grocery stores too are good for the same reason (canned goods). In my city, restaurants also recycle and tend to have a green box for boxes (again canned goods and liquor). 7y

I really shouldn't be surprised that I had 7kg excess baggage and had to pay a fee, right? I'm so glad my graphic novels are safe and sound! Also my teacups (wrapped in bubble wrap), fragrances and skincare. Patting myself on the back for a packing well.🙌

Took this shot of my empty bookshelf right before flying off from Singapore to Manila. No books were harmed in the packing process! They were all included in boxes sent home or in my suitcase. During my last trip, I already brought all signed/personalized copies which filled up one small suitcase.

While packing, I came across these bookmarks from my trip to Germany and Czech Republic last 2015. Bookmarks make great souvenirs, right? Perfect for any bookworm. Although I rarely get to use these because I mostly read on my Kindle.

Haven't really been able to join #LitsyPartyofOne because I've been too busy running errands this weekend. Here's a shot of the last of the books that I have with me, which I'm packing into a suitcase. Mostly graphic novels that I didn't want to put in boxes to be shipped from Singapore to Manila. Have I mentioned that I hate packing?

Getting a head start on packing my books before moving in June. I definitely need a heck of a lot more boxes.

Rachel.Rencher I moved across state last month, and I think I had about 50 book boxes. Thank goodness for movers because those things get heavy! 7y
saresmoore Since we did the heavy lifting ourselves, I put a layer of books in the bottoms of several boxes and covered them with lighter things so there weren't as many crazy heavy boxes. It worked well! 7y
TheLibrarian @saresmoore That's a great idea! Currently my boxes are all smaller but I can't be too choosy since they were all free. But when we get larger ones I'll have to do that. 7y

TheLibrarian @Rachel.Rencher I'll have a decent amount too but sadly no movers (except friends for the furniture). Thankfully we have pretty much the whole month of June to move so lots of small trips. 7y

TheLibrarian @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thank you, we'll need it! @LiteraryinLititz No I haven't read it yet but it looks good and thank you! Confession: I've read like one book on the whole bookcase. 7y
