Six Cases and Counting

[revena]

Man, we have a lot of books. I'm trying to do shelving by genre, alphabetical by author's last name, anthologies before "a". My mysteries only take up one shelf, mostly because I really only hang onto stuff by Minette Walters for keeps (if you haven't read anything by her, do so. The Shape of Snakes is gorgeous but is chock full of blows to the mental gut, as it were. Fox Evil and Acid Row might be better choices).

The graphic novels and comics are also on one shelf, and my romance keepers are taking up one shelf, too (this is all in different cases, just to keep things interesting). Jameson has a three-shelf bookcase devoted to his Star Wars novelizations. We've got twelve shelves of science fiction and fantasy novels, and more coming out of boxes. I have two shelves of non-genre fiction so far. I haven't even touched nonfiction. And where do I put my books of myths and legends?

Dude. I forgot about the RPG books until just now.

I guess I need to get some more bookcases.

Now that I'm back in my apartment, I am just staring at my filled bookcases and piles of books on the floor and in the closet and am totally overwhelmed. I know I have a lot of books, but after having spent almost 16 weeks away from them, it was shocking to see them all.

I need more bookcases too.
