There’s Something About New Bookshelves
Two weeks ago today, filled with excitement from getting two new bookshelves, I created a Twitter poll asking if anyone would like to see a blog post about them (and my new personal library arrangement), a shelfie on Instagram, both, or neither.

Grimm’s Complete Fairy Tales: King Thrushbeard
