So after the disastrous search for Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks, I decided that it was time to get some books organized. *Side note: The book still has not been found- I’m getting close to concluding that I did not buy the book- because books simply do not JUST disappear.

So last night, armed with a glass of cold, ice water- I began the process of getting the books organized. Hard cover in the back, soft cover in the front- books of same heights together (to allow stacking on top of those books). Then tough choices: If I did not just LOVE the book- the book did not get a place on this highly coveted shelf. It was relegated to the crate. Books that I had not read yet are on top of a table so they can be quickly found and read. Signed books (which I did not take a picture of )have a shelf in another place of their own.

I’m really generous about book recommendations; but I’m not too generous about loaning my books- I treat my books with love and care- not everyone else does. But if it’s a signed book- FORGET ABOUT IT! It’ll never get borrowed- that book is totally off-limits!

Now you may be looking at this and thinking “well that’s not too many books”- Remember: this is just a small area of my books. I have stacks in other places, as well. Looks like I need to be asking for another bookshelf!
