Morning Meanderings: We Are Off To See The Author!!!
Good morning. What a week and it has not ended yet. I have a full morning and then a friend from Book Club and I are going to the cities to have dinner with Sandra Brannon and then go to her book event at Magers and Quinn Booksellers. While I am tired now, I suspect as the time draws nearer I will get more and more excited. 
For Saturday Snapshot today I was hoping to have pictures for you of my new and finished book shelves – but no, while the racks are up… the shelves are not. So… I will show you before and current state… and next week, hopefully the finished look.
One end of the book room before… (do not judge…) 
Another section of the room
After I emptied the room….
And now, the beginning phases:
I am excited to get the shelves up and start organizing books!

Your shelves are going to look so awesome, I’m so excited to see them!
Thanks Cass me too! I cant wait to start putting the books on them.
Yes! I love organizing book rooms. I just did an overhaul on mine and I must say it’s looking very spiffy. I can’t wait to see your finished product . . . you will post pictures, yes?
Oh yes, I cant wait to show the finyshed look… and I cant wait to load those shelves with my precious…errr… books.
Ooooh, I’m so jealous you have a WHOLE room dedicated to your books. Can’t wait to see what it looks like once you finish. Enjoy your day with your author.
It used to be our business office Laura but as out business grew we moved it out of the house… thus… a large room needing something… something… oh I know! BOOKS! LOL
Congrats to the winners!
I can’t wait to see the finished room. In the beginning shots, I can see how many books you’d accumulated since I did that post with you on your reading room.
Enjoy arranging everything…and your author event!
Here’s MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
And that is not even the whole room Laurel… I did not put up a shot of the other end or the fourth wall. It is going to look good though!
Ohhhh, those shelves are going to be awesome Sheila! I can’t wait to see them once they are up and filled
A friend of ours is doing the shelves and making them so they will be adjustable. I am so looking forward to spending a day organizing that room
You’re going to LOVE all those shelves. Can’t wait to see it when you have your books up.
Happy weekend, Sheila!
Happy weekend to you to Beth.
Dinner with Sandra Brannon sounds like so much fun! I have a feeling you’ll have your second wind by then. Your room is going to be awesome!
I think it will be a blast Kathy. I am taking a friend from my book club who is excited to meet her.
I can’t wait to see the finished shelves. I’m sure they’ll going to look great.
I am pretty excited – they are nice deep shelves… waiting in my garage
I certainly can’t judge, Sheila. My back room looks very similar. I’m thinking maybe I should take these pictures as a motivation to do something about that….
Here’s my Snapshot.
It helps Bev
I love book organization projects! I’m looking forward to seeing the finished room.
My Saturday Snapshot
Me too Diana!
Ooh so jealous – you have a proper library! Or soon will have.
I will be able to check them out and know where to find them
I drooling over your shelves! I can’t wait to see the finished room! I’m sure it will look awesome!
I think it wil! Cant wait to put my pretties on the shelves
We have books like that all over the house! Can’t wait to the room all tidy with the new shelving. v
I cant wait either!
I’m green with envy, I love your room, and am dying to see the finished production. Good Luck, and what a lot of work.
Thanks Irene, this is a once in a lifetime project but I think it is worth it.
I kind of like the before picture, with all the books piled up, but look forward to seeing the finished room.
LOL – it was starting to get crazy and I do now want to give up going to library sales so something had to be done
Ohhhhhh man. I’m so excited to see this room. I am also SO JEALOUS.
Its been a long time coming
That looks like real progress! Can’t wait to see the finished product.
Me too Joy – still not done.. hopefully tomorrow…
waaaaa! I want a room of my own!!!!! I love you Sheila – I can show these to my hubby and say, “see, there is someone with more books than me!” So thank you my book-sister!
LOL – thanks Sharon – and hi Sharon’s hubby!!!
I can’t wait to see the after shots! I bet it’s going to feel luxurious with all of those shelves for your books!
I am getting antsy to see if I am going to be an organized as I imagine… hopefully the finished look will be my next Saturday snapshot
Wow, that’s so much book shelving, I’m jealous, it’s going to be wonderful, and worth all the work and disruption.
I think so too and now I cant wait to start putting books on the shelves
The book room is going to be very library-ish with all those shelves. I won’t let my books see the final photos … they will be jealous!
LOL, I am so excited!!!
I’ve already commented on the before picture on Twitter so I won’t repeat it here.
It looks like the “after” is going to be really, really good. Looking forward to seeing that!
I am looking forward to it too….. I want to put my books on shelves so badly
Looking good! I’m sure it will be amazing once you finish it. I have plans to cover one of our office walls with bookshelves, I just haven’t fit it into the budget yet. Enjoy yours!
Then I want to scan them all into some sort of library system so I know what I have
Woohoo! I forgot to cheer for winning Night Road! I’ll send you my info. And, thanks!
YEAH!!!! You are welcome
My mouth is hanging open, Sheila! (trying not to drool on my laptop!)
Wow, I thought I had a lot of books! Now are all of these TBR or are some keepers? Wow.
I can’t wait to see the after photos! I am just so impressed that you even emptied the room – lol!
Sue
Those are a little of everything Sue, some TBR, some my personal library, the boxed ones are library sales that I can not refuse, some are read….
That’s going to be a nice book room. I’m envious! I should get my act together — and get my books out of bins downstairs. Like I’m still in move in mode — 4 years later. I sort of dream about built in bookcases! cheers. http://www.thecuecard.com/
