Books 101: Cleaning, Sorting and Cataloguing A Dusty Packed Library in Goodreads

Goodreads Book Library

One public holiday last month provided me with a dilemma – either I fix the leak from the washing machine that my wife has been complaining about or clean up my library and update the book catalogue at Goodreads. Image source: Good E Reader

In the end, I decided on the latter with the fix on the washing machine postpone to the weekends so that if something goes wrong, I can rush to the hardware store for replacement parts.

Books 101: The Beauty of Reading And Building A Library

I love reading books since I was still small. My grandmother often says that all it needs to keep me busy is a book. As an adult, I guess one of the “wisest” things that I have done in my life related to reading & books is to buy a proper book cabinet and set my own library.

Books Reading Library Knowledge

(My latest collection of books – the one in green cost RM8.50 each whilst the Mammoth Book is RM19.90 – a far cry from Dan Brown’s latest thriller costing RM40)

I like reading (my wife have started to pick up reading, with a pace of 1-2 pages per day but reading a book still sounds “Greek” to my son) and over the years, I have been collecting books but without a proper shelf or cabinet, the books were simply lying all over the place.
