So, pictures of my new bookcase.
I ran out of space in my room, so I can only place my bookcase just beside the door. And since it doesn’t come with doors, I got my mum to make a piece of curtain to cover the books from dust.
So far I’ve only filled half of the total number of shelves (and really, only half the total number of my novels are out here.) I can’t decide how I want to arrange them, so I got pissed off and stopped arranging. So far, the top shelf is what I call “Asian and Ex-Soviet Country Lit”, which contain things from Chinese writers, Russian writers, and even Albanian writers. The second shelf is the “Murder and Mystery Lit” shelf, containing writers like Kathy Reichs, Greg Iles, etc. (My sister’s book case has a “Tess Gerritsen” shelf; can’t see why she’s a fan of that horrible writer.) And the third shelf is the “Dead Authors” shelf, which has things like Dickens, Bronte, Austen … and the fourth shelf is a bunch of miscellaneous works I don’t know where to put (which is why I got pissed off). There stands a lone copy of Harry Potter (I think it’s Deathly Hallows), Middlesex, Where Lost Things Go, Eat, Shoots and Leaves, etc.
I have half the heart to mix up genres and just file in an alphabetical order by author name. Ack.
so nice… *envious* my pseudo-bookshelf has two shelves. the bottom one i put my favourites, arranged alphabetically according to author’s name. second shelf is just a mish-mash, books that i would probably donate eventually after one last read.
Yeah, your sagging upper shelf. Hahahaha. Well, this bookshelf is far from my dream wall-to-wall ceiling-to-floor shelves, but this will do for time being.
file according to colour!
… thanks arh. (-_- )”
