Goddamn I’m having a hard day today. I am inexplicably angry for some reason. I don’t know if it is menopause getting to me or all the bullshit going on in this country. I am pissed! Well, technology has not been working for me today, so there is that annoying detail.
I am trying to put up some of my books. They’ve been in the garage for years. I have 18 crates of books. I have a beautiful bookcase/library in the living room but it is full. I need to organize the cupboards underneath my bookshelves but I know I will not have enough room for 18 crates of books. What to do? I don’t have very much room for more bookshelves, I’ve about maxed out of space. I don’t want the crates back in the garage. I know the obvious thing to do is get rid of some books. NO!! I will not! Sacrilege!
Eventually I will get rid of some. I can get many of my favorites on Kindle. I hope my granddaughters or my niece Vada might be interested in some of my books. I don’t know. Lots of things have changed since my childhood and I was always somewhat into old-fashioned literature. I mean, who else collected or even knows who Trixie Belden is? My mom had read Trixie Belden mysteries opposed to Nancy Drew so I carried on the tradition. They were a childhood favorite of mine but very outdated. Then I probably have hundreds of Regency romance novels. That IS the thing these days but there are so many more modern day authors to choose from, Regencies that really sizzle with sex and that was not quite my vibe when I was devouring those romance novels. I preferred a more innocent type of novel for the most part. I don’t know. I hope at some point I will have some time and inclination to revisit my old books and weed out some of the ones I really didn’t enjoy. It will take some time. I ain’t lying when I say I have a library.
I need a bigger house. I just don’t want the bigger bills that come along with it.
