The Books

Yesterday I thought I'd finally get around to unpacking a box of books...but once I started, I just couldn't stop. It took about four hours total, but I got them all unpacked. And now I feel reunited with some old friends (and ready to start reading!).

Now for some gratuitous book pictures...

^ Top shelf of bookcase one: a mix of poetry, old books, and travel journals. Followed by several shelves of fiction which I have mostly all read.

^ Bookcase number two: a couple shelves of non-fiction (these are mostly Jason's, i have to admit, but there are lots of interesting-sounding ones), and three shelves of kids' books. Which i read about as often as I read anything else...

^ Art books, big books, and the Calvin & Hobbes collection

^ In the hallway there's a little nook that was built for a telephone (back in 1955). I love old houses! I stuck all the small books there.

^ And then excess books had to go downstairs on the bookshelves already conveniently built. Here are my old English books that I am far too much of a nerd ever to part with. (The Medieval lit and History of the English Language are my favorites.)

^ And there are so many books that I can use them in decorating the living room.

So if Billings friends want to borrow any, please stop by. I've realized even if I don't buy another book, Talulah will have enough of a library in young adult fiction alone to keep her busy for quite a while! Might have to cut back on those library book sales for a while....
