beccaelizabethHave rearranged books again again
(or possibly again again again)
Now all the Doctor Who, Babylon 5 and Buffy tie in novels are in the top shelf. The Buffy books don't quite fit, because I have Spike & Dru as a mini hardback and the Tales of the Slayers books are a bit taller than the others. This irritates. But the other books are all tidy in there.
Yes, having my RPG and tie-in collection be the most prominently displayed makes me look a total geek. And having them surround my Lit & Cultural Studies stuff sends a certain message too.
However the overall impressino is accurate, so I can live with it :-)
I still need to move the desk a bit so I can stack stuff behind the computer again. Make things stand up properly, rearrange stuff a bit. Since I now know which books I take out at all and which basically live on the shelf I can move them around with that in mind. Maybe put the art books one shelf lower, where they won't even be visible. I mean I love them, but I only ever used them for craft projects and lately I haven't done anything not on the computer so they haven't moved at all, except when I got a book out from further along the shelf and everything sagged.
But the Martial Arts books, which are in the far corner and absolutely impossible to get at, I have pillaged for source material regularly. So they need to move somewhere easier.
As do the magic books, and the dictionaries of symbols.
If I keep all those on the end near the sofa and push along everything that is currently all gaps and leaning then I'll have books where I need them.
Cunning Plan!
... No, this is neither homework nor recreation per se, but it is both productive and relaxing. And also counts as exercise.
