The Great Book Sort of '18 Part 1

 We went through every book in the house.

The pictures are mostly the library, but we have book shelves in every room except the bathrooms!

 I had thought we were up to 4000 books, and I knew from experience that we really can't keep more than 3000 without losing track and creating random piles.

It turned out we were probably closer to 5000 books, maybe a bit more.

 We gave away or donated about 2000 books!  And that's not counting the ones we recycled because they were in terrible shape!

 We sorted and we culled and we cleaned for a week, but we ended up with around 3000 books that we love.

And we know where all of them are!
