as of right now I have scanned and catalogued 440 books from my and @ameliarating's home library. there are 2 nonfiction shelves and 3/4 of a shelf of graphic novels to go, this not including the handbound books, zines, art books from conventions, and many, many seforim, none of which have barcodes or ISBNs.

don't look at the time stamp for the first post. nobody needs to know that information.

saturday at shul I was talking with a guy who introduced me to an app that one can use to build a record of your personal library by scanning isbns. someone should've stopped him but they didn't so here i am going ooooh a project that could easily suck me in and consume me for hours where i can't stop until i'm completely finished

better put some guardrails on that one I guess

#so uh. how about them guardrails #i'm fine! i'm fine. everything is fine #important text posts #this is my real life #now that i've pried myself away from that project time to eat dinner #also for people who are like 'how the hell do you have that many books lise'#this is what comes of a combination of 1. working in the book publishing industry & adjacent for just over 7 years #and 2. my wife keeps getting things for her library from other retiring rabbis/books for school #so that's how that happens. that and not reading fast enough and checking out 12 books at a time from the library
