A day in my life — part two

It has been a lovely and sunny day — I love the fact that it still is light when we take tea at five.

Life and I have on collision course lately — I haven't been feeling well and of top of that, life has poured unwanted things in my lap. So in an attempt to tell life who is in charge I've started, very slowly, to carry out things that I — not life — want to do.
If you've been here before you now that I love books — and that I have far too many. Keeping track of them is a problem, not to mention how to store them. I've been looking for a program to catalog them, but they are either too expensive and too complicated — or too simple. So a few nights ago it occurred to me that I could give my books a blog of their own (not public). It really works, at least for me, the question is how long it will take me to type in the information about thousands of books.
I started with English fiction and so far I've worked my way up to Huxely. I give each author a post of her/his own. I add links, information I might have about how I got the book and sometimes what I think about it. Here are a few examples:

I label each post with the authors name so when I go to "Edit Posts" I can see (and click on) all the authors. If I only remember the title I type it, or one word from it, in the "search blog box". I think it will work.

The book by Ruth Cobb (above) is the book I came to think of when I found "Highways and Byways in Surrey" by Eric Parker this morning. I have been looking for information about Ruth Cobb without success. She seems to have illustrated children’s books — but I find nothing about her. There is another Ruth Cobb, a watercolorist, but she is American and I believe this Ruth Cobb is British.

So typing titles into my new blog is what have occupied me this afternoon. When I needed a break I moved books to my new bookcase. Some of you might remember that I made a bookcase for my summerhouse in September. I have been looking at our "last" wall here, for a while, wondering if I could do something similar. So some days ago I went on a hunt for something I could use for a bookcase. I found some board, not planed but I figured that it won't show once I get the books up.
