I guess Lander is getting tired of all the books laying around in stacks everywhere. A stack on the ottoman, a stack on the end table, a stack by the chair, stacks upon stacks in our bedroom, and stacks in the boys rooms. He's building a bookshelf for our living room.

I have purchased shelving units (cheap) before, but the shelves always sag. That annoyed me so badly that I just boxed up all the books and put them in storage.  

Sometimes when I am looking at bookstores, or even online, I have to ask myself "Do I already have that? I seem to remember having that at some point." I'll be so glad to be able to look through my shelves and see if I do have a certain book so I won't make duplicate purchases.

I'm not sure that the shelf will hold all of my books, but it's going to be a lot better than the few that I have on the one small, sagging bookshelf I am tolerating at this point.

Maybe I'll post pictures in the next few days. Not sure how long this project is going to take...but I feel very loved, I'll say. He is doing this instead of plowing or sawing down trees, and moving them with his tractor (did I mention he bought a chainsaw and now he's sawing down all our trees AND plowing up all our land? I love my husband!!  )
