Summer Cleaning...sort of

Summer's here! And I mean OFFICIALLY HERE! I'm now free from all my workload from school these past weeks and I can finally sleep (oh how I missed sleeping until late in the morning!). That means i also get to read more often. But before that, I first need to clean my room and of course, my shelves which have gone pretty dusty.
I just hate it when you lift a book from the shelf and BOOM--a sandstorm! Okay, a bit exaggerated but you get the idea right? All the dust flying off the books is just, well, bad. And it also destroys books and accelerates the foxing process.
That's what pushed me into cleaning my bookshelf--again. I resolved into cleaning my shelf  monthly but I think that is not enough and I need to consider cleaning more often. I also want to make a sort of log-book to keep track of what I'm reading. Being the low-tech/caveman person that I am when it comes to organizing stuff, I initially wanted to keep a binder but problems would definitely arise when it comes to alphabetizing the books so instead, I opted for an Excel spreadsheet (yay for Microsoft haha) template I downloaded and tweaked to my preferences.
So here's what happened to me the whole afternoon (and lots of coughing and incessant sneezing after inhaling the clouds from hell):

I'm still not finished yet. I still have to put some polish so the wood will smell better. Tomorrow I'll be dealing with the dirtier cousin, the shelf in my room which contains a great deal of old books and encyclopedias. Ugh. I think I need to wear a mask.
