This weekly chance to add to your reading list is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date.
So I've been working for the past month or so on reorganizing my bookshelves (including getting rid of a bunch of books) and cataloging what remained. It's been so much fun!! My one-year-old son helped, too, by pulling books off the shelves every time I had my back turned. :) At any rate, the process is finally over and I'm excited to share about it. Stay tuned for a big blog post about my revamped library!

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.
