elennielI 've been sorting the books in my room (which is now an even bigger mess than before thanks to my efforts to "clean up" - ironyyyy), which were on the shelves and in various boxes, and have also been trying to catalogue them in an Excel file. The rough total is about... 234. 8D
Well, books that are mine are actually less than that since about 15 were originally my mother's books (the LOTR and Narnia books, for example, are older than I am 8D ).
In that 234 are...
38 Star Wars books
12 Elinor M. Brent-Dyer books (Chalet School series)
11 Enid Blyton books (there are at least 6 more that I know I have but which aren't in my room and I don't know where they are D: )
11 C.S. Lewis
10 Diana Wynne Jones
10 animation/film-related books
7 J.R.R. Tolkien
7 Louisa May Alcott
6 L.M. Montgomery
5 Agatha Christie
4 Gerald Durrell
4 Georgette Heyer
4 W. Somerset Maugham
Other authors include: Jane Austen, Isaac Asimov, Arthur Conan Doyle, Roald Dahl, Pearl S. Buck, Fuyumi Ono, Lian Hearn, Catherine Lim, Madeleine L'Engle, Adeline Yen Mah, George MacDonald, Ursula K. LeGuin, Gregory Maguire, Neil Gaiman, Richard Gordon, E. Nesbit, ...
I don't know which books to bring with me to Scotland!! Pride & Prejudice, definitely. Maybe one of my Twelve Kingdoms books (most likely Sea of Wind). One Star Wars book... I want to bring along at least one of my LOTR books, but I'm kinda afraid that they'd spoil or fall apart or something. :(
I wish I could scan all my books and them along in digital format...

If you have any text books that are expensive that you might use, I'd give them priority.
Why do I sound so serious?

Textbooks huh... Don't have any at the moment, unless I bring the book I have on Singapore cinema with me. On that note, all my animation/film-related books might eventually come in useful but the weight of one book would equal three storybooks. lol
