Back in black

Sorry for the dearth of new posts, folks. It's been a crazy couple of months for me (for instance, I no longer live in subtropical paradise!) But that's all for another post.

Today, I'm linking to a great blog contest over at One Scheme of Happiness about summer reading ideas—and y'all know how I love my books!

Reading rainbow

Ah, Reading Rainbow. What a great show—is it still on? Anyway, my living room is a different kind of reading rainbow. Inspired by this photo, this one, and the observation that I have a lot of yellow books (thanks to Nancy Drew and National Geographic), I decided to create my own book spectrum. It was a perfect after-work unwinding activity. I realize the complete impracticality of having my library organized by hue, but I figured this arrangement would be no less practical than the completely haphazard arrangement I had beforehand. Plus it looks so pretty. For an even lovelier sight, take a look at my beautiful rocks on top of the bookcases!
