Actually started a little bit of revision today. W00t! Got slightly overwhelmed by the amount of material to try and encode into my brain, but there's not point in freaking about it. Just need to get it done
( Read more... )
Finding books you forgot you had is lots of fun. I had a similar experience a couple of months ago when boxes that had been in storage for years were finally moved into the apartment.
I wish you and your byootiful bookcase much joy :)
I've never had the urge to shelve my books alpahabetically. Mine's an idiosyncratic system based on how the books fit my mood, who's currently on my reading list - and size of book. Explains why I can never find the book I want after a fad of re-ordering *g*
but! but! but! what about non-fiction books? board books? do you shelve the children's novels with the adult novels? that would create some really weird combinations....
...oh, wait, I forgot, I'm the only dork in the world that buys herself picture books and the like. :)
Selected non-fiction is shelved under author name amongst the general book population. Reference books have their own shelf. Most of P's non-fiction have their own bookcase and are shelved according to genre - Manuals (police)/Crime theory, Martial arts, Maps, Marathons and Mountains *g*
The children have their own bookcases in their bedrooms and all of their books are there. Apart from the Harry Potters, which were mine first and therefore downstairs. Tis madness, but there's method in it.
I have the fortunate excuse of buying picture books and pretending they are for the children. *g*
Well, I found you via our mutual friend, Stacy, she of the equally awesome slash_girl moniker, and the hotch/reid comm you operate with her. :)
so, i decided to friend YOU too. Hope ya don't mind this gesture. :)
anyhoo, i'm a writerly, viddin', 'boardin' chick, who'll be 26 in just under a week (the 11th).
and besides all things criminal minds, hotch, reid, hotch/reid and Thomas Gibson (of Dharma & Greg too, anyone? anyone?), we also both like Doctor Who and David Tennant (Ten) and Johnny Depp, writing, and good books.
and i think THAT is already plenty in common. Don't you? Anyhoo, as I don't have any CM fans aside from Stacy & sheerpoetry on my f-list yet, and you seem like a kool kat, I was wondering if we could be friends? :D
~hopefully, a new pal of yours, Sharma :)
PS I also love Stargate: Atlantis, Firefly/Serenity, X FIles, Nathan Fillion, Joe Flanigan, & Gillian Anderson. :D
