been working on my list of needed JD Robb books…

my daughter found a bunch in a used bookstore on a walk in Ottawa…

that meant I had to find, and compare, my list with the titles she sent me… found the list, phew, and sent her four that I could use…

this morning my housemate helped me double check the books on the shelf with the list, and I forwarded that list to my daughter… she found another four…

so, now that the comparison has taken place, it appears that I only need ten to complete my collection;-)…

woohoo…

it was mainly overcast and rainy last Thursday, so I spent most of the day inside…

being as the weather was not so great, I decided to work on a project that has been on the list for a while, lol…

first I printed out a list of JD Robb books that I found online…

next I removed all of the books I have and set them on my desk…

I cut some coloured paper to use as markers and compared the list with my books and inserted a sheet of paper where the missing books belonged… I also checked off which books were still needed…

the books went back onto the shelf and I then prepared a spreadsheet listing the whole series and marking which books I still need to complete my set…

happy to get the project completed…

now to send the list off to a friend and Globosapiens bookstore to see how many more we can find;-)…

once I find the remainder, there will need to be some reorganizing of the shelves, as I still need around nineteen, lol…

on Sunday I finished the last of a large collection of books by Fern Michaels…

I had received the first of two boxes and a bag full of them at the beginning of August…

I have enjoyed every single one of the fifty-four and was a bit sad that I’ve finished them all… I can’t even think of how many hours I’ve spent in the garden and the living room devouring them, lol…

not half an hour later, the next book by JD Robb was delivered, woohoo;-)…

excited to read this and all the other books that have been on the sidelines since I started the Fern Michaels collection;-)…

after getting the books yesterday, today’s project was to get the JD Robb Excel spreadsheet prepared… it was fun to spend some quality time with the laptop…

once they were entered, I had to sort them in order…

I laid them out by number and then found a place to line them up…

and they fit perfectly on the shelf in the computer room, although it may be an issue to add the rest, lol…

finally made it to GLOBOsapiens Used Bookstore, as a number of friends had told me about it…

took a box full of books that I had read, which have been rattling around in the trunk for weeks, and came home with a box full of books that I have been looking for…

they only take cash and luckily I had some on me… and, because I brought books in, most of the ones I purchased were half price…

I’ve been looking for the JD Robb In Death series for quite some time so was thrilled when I found twenty to add to my library woohoo…

now to add them to my list so I know which ones I have and which ones I still need;-)… and figure out where they are going to go…

fifty-seven…

a few days ago a friend dropped by with some books for me and in the process brought me a couple of my JD Robb favourites…

we have both read the entire series and she has the collection, so now I am going to start collecting the series…

two down and fifty-seven left to collect…

great excitement…

got a call from my next door neighbour… we are both readers and share books on a regular basis…

she was at a thrift store and found books by one of our favourite authors… she wanted to check to see if we had read all the ones that were available…

we chatted and went through the list that I’ve made as I’ve read the books… I used the list inside one of the covers and have noted each book we’ve read…

we discovered six… yay…

once she dropped them off, I went through the list and marked the books in order of where they are on the list, which is the order I will read them… I also included three that I had just purchased…

so, you may not hear from me for a while, lol…
