I love book bloggers—not just because y’all will fangirl (or boy)
with me over some author’s new release, but because you have the best insights
and questions. Bookcase Showcase? My favorite blog topic yet. And it couldn’t
be more topical too because I just. Got. Bookcases.
Oh, yes, it’s been almost seven years since Boy Genius and I moved
into The House That’s Trying To Kill Us and I’ve been asking for bookshelves
since…oh, probably the day before we moved in. In BG’s defense, we’ve had a bit
going on. There was the electrical work that had to be done, the floors that
had to be replaced, the rain that poured in through the side door…sigh. My
point? He had a good excuse, but you’re not properly moved in until your books
are arranged on their shelves.
Which brings me to book arrangement. Am I the only person who
arranges books by Feels? For example, I put Dennis LeHane and Lisa Gardner
together because they both scare the pants off me. Similarly, John Green and
Jay Asher are grouped next to each other under Amazing and/or Writers Who Give
Me Shamespirals. BG says this is nuts. I disagree. I can always find the books
I’m looking for.
And if my filing system happens to thwart thieves that want to make
off with my beloved Maggie Stiefvaters (because she’s not filed under S, she’s
filed under Wow!) all the better, right?
As always, a huge thank you to Kirsty for hosting me at The
Overflowing Library. I hope you enjoyed the post and I hope you enjoy FIND ME!
