Book Stack: 8 Months Worth of Books

I arrived in Wichita last night and was met with a beautiful sight: 5 big boxes of books that have been stacking up since early January. (These aren't all the books that have been sent to me over the past 8 months since my dad sends me boxes with the most urgent books from time to time.)

Here's a quick video view. Enjoy!

  1. oh my WOWNESS! that is fantastic. Maybe I'll just let all my books pile up for 9 months so I can have a huge stack to open at once.... or maybe not! :) thanks for sharing!

  7. I'm not sure, but I think I might become too overwhelmed with such an amazing stack of books. I would probably go into something of a book frenzy running around in circles shrieking, "Where do I begin? How am I going to find the time to read them all?"

  8. Yay! Are you shipping those back to yourself I take it?

  9. Taren, Steph & Alissa - For sure! My questions to myself are:

    1. How will I take all these books back with me?

    2. Where will I put them once I do get them back?

    3. When will I find the time to read all of them?!!

  10. Alea - The cool thing is that I upgraded to business class on the flight back so I get a free allowance of 3 bags up to 70 lbs each. I'm going to need it!

    Can I just comment how much I love Delta airlines? They upgraded me on all the segments of my trip this time around :)

  15. Oh wow! Now that's what I'd call a haul!! :P

  16. That's Fantastic!! Enjoy them Lenore!! I'd be so happy I think I may just lay them all out and roll around in them screeching "They're all mine...all mine"!! LOL I'm kidding!!

    It's SO great that Delta upgrades! No doubt!

    I LOVE your blog!

  21. Alba - My cats couldn't come with me, thus no cats in the video!

    Molly - I think I brought Germany's weather with me. I've never been so cold in Kansas in August!!

    Melanie - Out of all of them, I am most excited to read BEFORE I FALL!

  30. Wow!! Definitely like Christmas in August!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Wow, that's heaven! ... or maybe not, simply because I have too many books piled up myself to read and they are starting to get in the way of stuff like, you know, walking around freely :) But I don't think you can ever have too many!

  32. I am so envious of you! Your stacks are awesome! Now you will have to make time to read all those wonderful books.

  34. Wow! You have more than I've ever had on my trips home! My parents have to send my books to me sometimes too but there are always a whole bunch of contest wins and non-urgent ARCs waiting.
