Litlove, I hate packing at the best of times and I’m sure I’ll be wandering round muttering “where’s that book?” for months. And choosing which ones to leave out to read is just so difficult! I’m sure I’ll want to read ones that are packed away. I don’t want to move ever again.

Oh moving house! The trauma! The upheaval! Yes, pack a special box of comfort reads and uplifting novels to take with you. Mind you, if you can manage to track down your biography like that, then the chances are you will be a whizz at locating items in a zillion cardboard boxes!

Thanks to each of you for your good wishes. I hope to write a few posts this week before the move takes over my life completely! I've been thinking of taking part in Emily's Attacking the TBR Tome challenge and selecting 20 books to keep separate so I can read then whenever I have "spare time"!

I think only her children’s works have always been in print. The rest went out of print and has only recently been republished again! Too bad about having books inaccessible–that’s a drag. Hopefully the move will go smoothly. At least not being close to the computer means you might have more reading time? Though undoubtedly you’ll be busy with your move. You will be missed, but hopefully it won’t be for too long that you’re away!

I’m curious about the biography. She was such a favourite of mine as a kid and I read a biography then, probably geared down to kids and of course now out of date. Good luck with the move!

Moving can be such a pain. I hope you can reserve a special box just for books to be read so you can take breaks from unpacking (or worse, renting!) Your readers will be rooting for the solicitors to make haste before the holidays!

Good luck with moving Margaret. Will miss you for the couple of weeks. Hurry back.

I understand about moving your household things and storing your books. One thing my husband & I did was make a list of which books were in which box. Of course, many of ours are still in boxes after moving to our house 5 years ago, but we keep acquiring new ones as well. Good luck in your move.
