I'm working on offloading more stuff (books, DVDs - things taking up shelf space) from my collection, and being more accurate about their thickness measurements so that LibraryThing can tell me exactly how much shelf space I've freed up.

 

Yay, my offloaded stack is now as high as a garden gnome! That's 17 items so far, 1 recycled (an ARC, because I don't sell those or donate them to be added to library collections) and the other 16 donated. I have no idea what final number I'm aiming for, but ideally the stack will be at least a couple feet taller than the stack of books I'll likely be bringing back from the 2020 Book Bonanza.

This year, I'm trying to make sure the data for each of the books I finish is as accurate as I can make it. On LibraryThing, that usually means double-checking the dimensions, which always seem to import from Amazon wrong. I also make sure the e-books I finish don't include physical data.

 

Here's the stack of things I've read so far this year: taller than a tennis net, shorter than a hobbit. Last year, my stack grew to be higher than Stonehenge, but I'm pretty sure my data was way off - from what I can tell, LibraryThing usually incorrectly records Amazon's height measurements as "thickness," resulting in stacks that are far taller than they should be.
