Hi Folks, sorry for the lack of posting this week but work is kicking my a$$.  I have been putting in 16+ hour days on the ambulance so...yeah...posting is not happening.  I did find a couple of minutes to buy more bookshelves for the rest of my unpacked books.

Now just waiting for Hubbin to put them together and then try to find a minute or two in between shifts to put the books away.  I will try to do a big girl post tomorrow...but it all depends on my night.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Dust Jackets

Do you know what I hate?  Dust jackets.  Yep those paper/plastic covers placed over books (mostly hard cover) that are there to protect and add color and pictures to our tomes.  I usually take them off the minute the book is purchased.  Usually 'cause the sound and the slipperiness of it drives me crazy when I am trying to read, but also 'cause the book underneath is usually so much more elegant looking.  I also like how my series that are in hard back look all similar without the dust jacket and even the most ludicrous of books looks awesome on my book shelf when in it's naked glory.

The funny thing is that as much as I hate dust jackets...I can't bear to throw them away...yep I'm a weird one folks.  I don't know if I feel guilty throwing away any part of a book, or feel at some point I might regret getting rid but for some reason they all get kept.  So I now have a big giant pile of dust jackets stashed on the bottom of on of my book shelves just waiting for me to figure out what to do with them.  If any of you have any ideas let me know.  Until then I've gotta go take all the dust jackets of my new books and add them to my stash.  Happy Reading Everybody!
