When I moved to my current house 27 years ago I had 4 bookcases worth of books that I packed myself. I wouldn't let the movers pack them. I also took the dust jackets off all the hardcovers and transported them in my car so they wouldn't get damaged. I now have 16 bookcases. I so hope I never have to move again. Lol

We have movers that are going to help load everything into the truck, but I packed all the books myself. I think we still had about 9 bookcases last move, but I did not have them as full as I do now! 😂 I get a room for my library at the new house, so we'll see what that does for my bookshelves... but we're also renting now and will probably move again in a few years once we find a house we love to buy.

I feel ya! I’m starting to also box all of my books for the move and am feeling the stress of all the things! We shall get through this! Hugs. ❤

Yes! It's been a lot of stress and anxiousness for a little while now. But with only 1 week left we have all the big stuff done. I'm ready to get this done!

@@ChelseaZhao me too!! 😆

I'm also in the midst of moving! I have about a quarter of the number of books you do and I'm also not moving as far as you, but I feel the pains of moving all the books.

It is a lot!! Even with only a quarter of my books, it can get overhwelming. I wish you luck with your move too!

It is a pain packing and moving, but it is refreshing to reset up the books.

OMG! Yes! I hate have to pack them up and move them. But I'm really looking forward to reorganizing them in the new space!

Good luck! I know what it is like about moving with lots of books. I had to unhaul a lot. Granted I moved from TN to FL so only a 16-18 hour drive and it was only me, but still it was very stressful

Only 35!! 😂 More than I originally thought, but I'm glad I wasn't quite at 40 yet.
