There's that distractibility factor again!Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929914252480696798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699397659689455615.post-34983646183291919042017-03-06T23:33:33.816-05:002017-03-06T23:33:33.816-05:00Nothing like rearranging books to reorient!Nothing like rearranging books to reorient!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699397659689455615.post-60723835964793996232017-03-06T23:10:06.589-05:002017-03-06T23:10:06.589-05:00I love the idea of bookshelf therapy.

I used to pull all my books out and dust them and rearrange them alphabetically every couple of years when the sideways books and new purchases take over everywhere and I can no longer find anything. But, with a child in the house, it has not been done in at least 6 1/2 years. I keep eyeing the bookshelves and wanting to arrange them (which really is code for "hold every book in my hand and marvel at it, leaf through it, and add it to my "read next" pile until I want to read every one I own next.") I know, however, that last time I did this, I ended up with piles and stacks and mountains of books on every floor in the house for two days until I got it all arranged. I have a terror of what might happen if I attempted that in the presence of my hurricane of a six year old son. For now, my bookshelf therapy consists of gazing at my biggest wall of books and running my hands on their spines and dreaming.

I imagine you found some favorites you'd forgotten. Happy times.

PLEASE grab a couple of coffees and come on over to our room and arrange these books! <br /><br />Bookshelf therapy- love this and I am glad it made you feel better!

I was going to say that bookshelf therapy is cheaper than real therapy, but I'm not sure that's true when I think about your bookshelves. :) Happy reading.Julie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497758310228642932noreply@blogger.com
