1. I used to move constantly, but we've now lived in the same house in Vermont since November 2012.

2. Stoner - the title character moves from the tiny farm where he grew up to the University of Missouri, first as a student and later as a professor.

6-15-23: It took me a whole day to lovingly box up my books for our impending move back to Philadelphia from Florida. It‘s amazing how much I accumulated over the last 11 years living here. When we moved in 2012 I had 1 box and one bookshelf. Now I‘m going back with this! And there is a storage facility in Philly waiting for me with a bunch more. 📚📖💖

So my partner and I just got some good job news, and we have found out that we‘ll be moving probably in July. This is the most notice we‘ve ever had before a move which I‘m grateful for. However, one of my thoughts has been the dread of packing books. So I‘m doing a survey. Has anyone had to pack a large library (1300 unread)? Do you do a cull before you pack? How do you go about deciding what to keep? Also, any general book moving advice?

We had to leave NYC for a little while. But we‘ll be moving back as soon as we can. Until then, we‘ll be “Strangers In A Strange Land” living in a VERY red state.

All the books are packed and ready to go for our big move this weekend. 😬
*Only* 6 boxes for me, 4 boxes of SO's comics, and 1 box of kiddo books. Why do they seem to take up so much more room packed than they did on shelves? Send help 😵

1.18 - mostly military moves
2. US coast to coast 2000-ish Mike's
3. 43, as of last move.
4. We are staying here as long as humanly possible.
5. Mover YAY YAY YAY!!!!!!

1. 4 times as a child, 19 times as an adult (not counting moving in and out of college dorm rooms)

2. 3,637 miles - from Chicago to Belfast

3. Impossible to count! The last time I moved (from England back to Northern Ireland) we needed 2 trucks)

4. I hope not but I‘m willing to go!

5. YES. Because I‘m a grown up now and some things are ALWAYS worth paying for!

I Moved a few days ago. Little by little I've been setting my books. Three bookshelves down, seven to go!#bookcollector #reading

Moving is really messing with my reading time which makes my dog sad because reading time is snuggle time. #bostonsoflitsy #dogsoflitsy
