New bookcase! Yay!

[lagilman]

It's a paler shade than I thought (but it will darken) and oh my god, people. Books that were stacked and overflowing now fit with room to spare (damn well should, since this bookcase is two feet longer than the old one). And it's deeper, so I am able to hide extras [author copies] in the back, rather than stacking, and...

And wow. It's even got that new bookcase smell.

(it's also COLD - being on a truck all day in this weather can do that to wood).


Oh yeah, I also wrote a hair over 3,000 words today. Psh, that's nothing in the joyous glow of New!Bookcase....

so, where did you move the old bookcase to?

[lagilman]

It's now in the office proper, holding all the research material, supplies, etc that used to be scattered/stacked/out of reach.

I think there may need to be an addendum to the Commandments for Writers/Readers: Thou shalt not covet thy flist's bookcases.

(I greatly anticipate the day when I somehow manage to have enough shelf space to unpack the remaining boxes of books so I have enough room to...bring in another bookcase. Or three.)

I'd probably be fine with the bookcases I had, except that I have this bad habit of writing books, and then the publisher sends me copies, and copies of the reprints, and the foreign editions, and...

Not that I am complaining. Just trying to make room, rather than shoving them all in the closet.

Squeee for new bookcases! Now, when do we get to see a picture of the organized pretty?
