A shelf of finished gluebooks and sketchbooks.

Spine
I am a horrible person who feels no pangs of regret when pulling spines off old books, to use in collage. But if I didn’t pull spines off books, you would never get to see the pretty stitching underneath.
The book’s pages will also be cut up and recycled.

Organizing Books
I finally organized the books I use for collage and found that I have an entire shelf of astronomy texts, several shelves of biology texts, and a half shelf of school yearbooks.
Also I have the world’s cutest spokesmodel.

Shelfie
It’s library shelfie day. I totally failed at taking a photo at work, but luckily I brought half the library home with me.

Goodwill Haul
The last few times I’ve been to Goodwill, they haven’t had any books I wanted. Today I found a bunch.
I also saw, but did not buy(!), a bunch of 8-track tapes.
And bonus begface. Did you know that cute aggression is a real thing? I just want to squish him and nibble on his adorable ears.

Shelfie with Mack
I got Mack the hood ornament in a white elephant Christmas swap several years ago.
And one of a pair of old hand-painted folkart bookends I found at Goodwill. Kitschy-cute.
I spent the afternoon dusting and tidying up bookshelves. You can’t even tell that I did anything. Hmf.

Marginalia
I worked today, because I will need to take time off Tuesday to pick up my car. One of the books I cataloged was a gift, and it was full of marginalia and annotated dog ears.
I know writing in books makes some people break out in hives I love it, though.

Goodwill Haul
The baby books are for my niece, Hazel.
I also got a super cheap step for Frances. I attached a piece of carpet to the top, and she’s used it about fifty times already today, to get on and off the couch.
Between her crappy knees and the arthritis in her spine, she’s been really reluctant to get on the couch and the bed. I’ve been worrying about how to help her out, so I’m glad she’s willing (and eager!) to use her new step.
