Well, this may be harder than originally thought of. Naturally that is more often than not the case when starting big passion projects.

I figured I would go through my inventory of books across all formats- nook, Kindle, and physical. I doing so I realized how many duplicates I have. Whoops. Currently I am writing a list of all the books on my nook account, seeing how that one is the least active.

I love Barnes and noble, I just wish their e reader experience was a bit more friendly. Having to log into the account on a computer to purchase books, just adds to the steps. I would much rather support Barnes and Nobel however, its just not as easy. I do however will drive an hour to the nearest store and wonder the aisles like a child in a candy store.

Kindle made their formats way to convenient and synced together. The ease of purchasing or downloading books makes choosing that app the obvious win. I just don’t like Amazon for what it is, although I use that website like its life support most days.

Physical books are amazing and I love seeing them all on my book shelf, collecting dust, untouched for who knows how long. Sigh. I am a sucker for a good art cover and if I heard little snippets of the plot, I shall pick it up.

This is where I get into the danger zone of having all the duplicates. Now I like the concept of trophy books, having a copy of one book you finished reading. But I do need to get in the better habit of actually reading said books. That’s why I’m excited for the next year of picking a book at random and just leaping into this project

I should sit down and put everything in in one of those random wheel things and let fate take the wheel to pick books. That or some random generator. Because at first glance, this is rather daunting.

Trying to keep the spirits of a new project is rather challenging this time of year. Typically I can bottle it up and just deal with it. But now that I have a semi creative outlet, I should be feeling better.

I am off to count my books and shelves. Weeeee.
