Bookstooge's Reviews on the Road
Without The Good Book, Life's Road is Hell
Getting rid of both the Big O manga and the Oh My Goddess! manga.
Well, getting rid of 50+ volumes of manga, that frees up a lot of shelf space. Not quite enough to get rid of a shelf, but it’s a good start! I’m wondering if I should do a book giveaway of a bunch of my graphic novels? What do you think? That would free up a shelf right there.

You’re thinking of While You Were Sleeping, Speed or The Lakehouse. No Reeves in The Heat. And you were going to teach me about movies…

Doh, you are correct. I was mixing up Heat and Speed. That sounds like a very BAD drug combo to be sure!
Uhhh, wait. That was just a TEST to see if you were paying attention. Honest.

Right now, nothing. But eventually we’ll consolidate and get rid of some of the bigger bookshelves. We have a mix of half bookshelves (little 3 foot tall ones) and some 6 foot tall ones. Aiming to get rid of some of the bigger ones that we got for cheap used back in the day. Less shelves to move eventually…
