A Profoundly Good Waste of Time.

Do you notice anything out of the ordinary about this photo of my square bookshelf?

It's sort of a trick question. There are multiple answers that could be acceptable. They include but are not limited to...

• the beautiful handmade toolbox on the top. Tom D. made it for me out of reclaimed wood, and it keeps all the love letters people mail me neatly in compartments.
• the little jewelry box Er made me when she asked me to be a bridesmaid.
  
• rows of earrings. I love earrings. I have NO idea why I waited until I was 21.5 to get my ears pierced. Thank you Rachel for holding my hand. And thank you Jennie for sending me my first pair of dangly earrings that I still have.
  
• the bulky dresser next to it. You may not make any comments about the pointy drawer pulls. It's my daddy's from when he was a boy, and it has grown on me. Plus it hold my tv. Super important.
• my beautiful paisley sparkly ugg boots. Don't judge unless you have spent thirty minutes in a pair. I heart my ugg boots. Especially because they are paisley and sparkly.
  

Really I wanted you to see what happened to my books. I got inspired by this lovely blogger featured in Better Homes & Gardens, and I decided my books would be happier arranged by color. I think they are radiant. I don't exactly know where each book is because I mixed fiction, nonfiction, borrowed, Christian, and educational.

But it makes me ridiculously happy to look at my bright books. Never mind that the Christmas cards aren't finished and there are yet more cookies to bake, the books and I are happier with this new arrangement. Try it. You'll like it.
