I just finished rewatching TED LASSO and it left me in the mood for MORE SPORTS. I‘ve had ON THE ICE lingering on my Kobo for ages since I wasn‘t wild about another of Amy Aislin‘s books, and I figured I might as well give it a try while I‘m in this mood. It‘s much sparklier than the other one! I do find the excessive American college talk grating, as always (and especially from non-American authors), but the character dynamics are great. Yay!

xicanti @TEArificbooks it was a strawberry shortcake matcha iced latte. I kept seeing people with them so I thought I‘d give one a try. It didn‘t disappoint. 3w

Thanks for the tag, @julieclair and @TheSpineView !

Three of my bookish quirks (I‘ve got more - I could write a book!):

1. I have to alphabetize bookshelves, even when visiting a library or bookstore - call it the librarian in me!

2. I have to read in series order. When I don‘t, I feel like I‘m missing something!

3. I do everything I can to avoid cracking paperback spines. I‘m not a fan of the cracked spine. #TLT

dabbe

TheSpineView You're welcome! Me too on #3 2y

dabbe #1: Do you alpha by title or author? #curious
#2: That drives me crazy, too!
#3: That's smart; otherwise, you'll have to tape it back together again! 🤩😍😃 2y

Librarybelle @TheSpineView @dabbe I like the spines to look as new as possible. Though, I have plenty of paperbacks I bought as used paperbacks that are well loved. And Denise, I alphabetize by author and then title if I have books by the same author. 2y

monkeygirlsmama Same for 2 and 3! 2y

Librarybelle @monkeygirlsmama 😁 I‘m so far behind on the Gamache series by Louise Penny, but I refuse to read the latest without reading the 6 others I need to read! 2y

DHill #2 - Same!! 2y

Librarybelle @DHill Yes! Glad I‘m not the only one! 2y

Deblovestoread Same for 1, 2 and 3. And holding The Brothers Karamazov is challenging that effort! 2y

Librarybelle I know, @Deblovestoread ! I cradle the spine of my copy of #TheBros as much as I can so it doesn‘t even show the slightest indentation! 😂 2y

Mollyanna I am so with you on 2. I even have to read the half steps in order. (edited) 2y

dabbe @Librarybelle I tried by genres and hated it. I think I'll go your route next. 🤩 2y

Librarybelle @Mollyanna I get so annoyed when I miss one of the “in between” stories or mistakenly read it in the wrong sequence! 2y

Librarybelle @dabbe I debater separating out by fiction and nonfiction but decided against that. It works for me just having everything alphabetical by author. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y

Gissy I too try not to crack the spine either. Sometimes it is so hard to read the book because they are not floppy editions. I also organize my read books like you but those unread books, I organize them by genre. 2y

LiseWorks I am the same with series, I have to read in order and yes it's because I might miss something 2y

Librarybelle I know, @Gissy ! I sometimes have issues reading the print near the inside spine 😂 2y

Librarybelle @LiseWorks That‘s what makes the #InDeathLongReadalong so good - we‘re reading them in order!! 2y

Mollyanna I am with you! I sort my books by non-fiction vs fiction. Seems to work for me. 2y

Librarybelle @Mollyanna I may eventually sort by nonfiction and fiction once I have all of my books sorted, but alphabetizing by author works for me so far. I do have bookcases and shelves throughout the house that focus on a specific series, or in the case of one of my bookcases, only nonfiction. 2y

Mollyanna I am the same with the bookshelves throughout the house (one NF, one classics, one sports/entertainment). My “library” (one of the extra bedrooms) is where the majority of my books are and I have one bookshelf dedicated to NF (sorted by topic) and the remainder are fiction by author. The system seems to work when I‘m looking for something. I do reorg once in a while as it‘s fun just to play with all the books. 2y

Librarybelle @Mollyanna Yes! It‘s so much fun to move the books around. My “library” is also an extra bedroom. ❤️ 2y

Mollyanna Great minds… 😊❤️😊 2y

julieclair #2 I'm the same, except for cozy mysteries, where I don't mind hopping around. 2y

Librarybelle @julieclair It is a little easier with cozies, but I still much prefer reading them in order 😂 2y

BookNAround I call foul here. These aren‘t quirks! These are the way to have a proper and ordered universe. 😉 2y

Librarybelle @BookNAround 😂 2y

Compound a Felony: A Queer Affair of Sherlock Holmes | Elinor Gray

bailed

I‘m bailing on this one. The writing is quite funny and smart, but there isn‘t enough plot to keep me going for the whole novel. I kept waiting for the case to begin. It just isn‘t my thing.

We Are Totally Normal | Rahul Kanakia

Meh. The main character is not a very easy character to love. #lgbtq (ish?)the end was the best part.

Love Around The Corner: A New Milton Novella | Sally Malcolm

pick

Normally this would make me come over all Relationship Advice Dalek (COMM-UNI-CATE! COMM-UNI-CATE!) but they are stupid in so normal a way I let it slide right now. If you get embarrassment squick from stupid misunderstandings this may not be for you, though. It turned out cute enough to work overall, for me.

Stephen Hawking's Universe: The Cosmos Explained | David Filkin

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be #curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
It matters that you don't just give up.” ― Stephen Hawking. #QuotsyOct19
