Changing rooms

I think I already wrote we were thinking about changing the "office/futon" room into a "study/bedroom". What I had not thought about is all the work it entails. Marvin and I have been working moving stuff around, oak furniture is heavy and we seem to have lots of it too!
So far we have moved Marvin's desk and file cabinets into his bedroom. We had to move some of the other furniture around, and it will go into the other room. We had decided to get a sofa bed rather than an actual bed because most of the time nobody will be sleeping there, and that way it will be just like a sitting room and it will be easy to convert when we have guests :) We went out looking at furniture stores and found one we both like, it's corduroy sort of light brown and converts into a full side bed, it's pretty comfortable, Marvin said he can see himself sitting there reading. We would also have to move bookshelves around etc etc. And also we have a little dilemma...will the sofa fit through the door?
I'll keep you posted.
On to a different subject. I have read 55 books since January 1, pretty good eh?
I have read 2 books lately written by Catalan authors, the setting is Barcelona. One is called "The Gaudi Key" is sort of similar to the Dan Brown books of Templars and knights etc. but the central figure is the Sagrada Familia and works of Gaudi, so I enjoyed that part http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/e/martin-esteban/gaudi-key.htm.
The other book is called "The Angel's Game" which is a prequel to "The Shadow of the Wind" http://www.carlosruizzafon.co.uk/
That's all for today, have a good night everybody :)
