Stab or swallow
I really like the third one

LiberBEARian
I'm buying this ridiculous house, might as well start planning now
LiberBEARian
also because I miss my books, we started packing already

Lady Stardust
oooh, a library porn day, yay
LiberBEARian
LiberBEARian
Lady Stardust
i always have very mixed feelings about these
LiberBEARian
LiberBEARian
Lady Stardust
: which ones?
Lady Stardust
because although they all look lovely to be in
Lady Stardust
I would hate to own a room so full of stuff
Lady Stardust
except this one, I love this one
except this one, I love this one
LiberBEARian
Our current library is like that now, and I love it so much, but it is a LOT to take in.
LiberBEARian
I can't do minimalist and Sergio loves minimalism so we're fun when it comes to decoration
Lady Stardust
i just ...it's like porn in that it's not the way real people can live
Lady Stardust
I'm very very bad at mminimalism but I try reallyhard
LiberBEARian
We tend to compromise because I have curio cabinets and so many books, but we keep the floor clear
LiberBEARian
But yeah some of these are painfully staged
Lady Stardust
i have a constant urge to collect random cute shit but I stop myself
LiberBEARian
I tried with the big chair by the window and gave up because I didn't have a footstool and ended up putting my legs on a bookcase
Ptriciadactyl
oof that one with all the plants and the arched doorway and the exposed beams
Ptriciadactyl
I love
LiberBEARian
Lady Stardust
because if I let it rip I turn full-on hoarder and the next thing you know I'm having to dig a path to the fridge
𝔚𝔦𝔱𝔠𝔥𝔠𝔯𝔞𝔣𝔱
Liking this plurk for inspiration for putting together the library in my loft space
Ptriciadactyl
I really want a library someday
Ptriciadactyl
now I cram 3 bookcases into my room
LiberBEARian
I think for the new house we don't have a dedicated library space
Ptriciadactyl
that's okay
Ptriciadactyl
there will be space for books
LiberBEARian
Which is tough but I think we have enough freaking wall space to just put bookcases all over
𝔚𝔦𝔱𝔠𝔥𝔠𝔯𝔞𝔣𝔱
this in particular because my loft ceiling slopes similarly

Lady Stardust
it just feels so freeing to me to own all my books and audios in digital format
Lady Stardust
like, I never have to dust them, they can't get scratched or dogeared or stolen
Lady Stardust
I can't leave them on a bus
Ptriciadactyl
I have a harder time organizing my digital space than my physical space
LiberBEARian
Problem with me is that a lot of my books rn are over 100 or 150 years old and have dedications written in them.
Lady Stardust
..well, I could but I'm very good at not forgetting my phone
LiberBEARian
Or I remember my dad reading them to me as a kid.
LiberBEARian
So at this point I'm just collecting them
Ptriciadactyl
yeah, there's no replacement for that sentimental value.
Lady Stardust
oh yeah, stuff like that you need to keep - I still have all my Pratchett books in deadtree format
Ptriciadactyl
I'll come help you unpack your books and other things when you move, Allison
LiberBEARian
same! including my favorite one with a signature. ;-;
LiberBEARian
Ptriciadactyl
: I love you for this
Lady Stardust
I have my I Shall Wear Midnight with the special mosaic cover!
Ptriciadactyl
(but I assume you actually have some opinions how you want to arrange them, as opposed to my brother, who literally texted me a picture of his bookcases and said, "when are you coming down to organize them?")
LiberBEARian
We at least are trying to parse down before we move. Basically nothing with sentimental value that I haven't looked at in years
LiberBEARian
Ptriciadactyl
: haha yeah. I think
spooky queer
helped me last time and I have a vague idea.
Lady Stardust
also i'm incapable of organising a book storage place
LiberBEARian
History, fantasy/scifi, Judaism, nature, English literature, classics
Ptriciadactyl
I have my book organization system down
Lady Stardust
I just pile the fuckers wherever they fit and deal with it
LiberBEARian
I think my novels are all over the place with the rare exceptions of Pratchett and Bryson
spooky queer
yes i organized your whole library thank u very much
Ptriciadactyl
and when I pack books to move, I pack them by shelf and number them so I can just unpack them without thinking at all
LiberBEARian
Comics are their own shelves
LiberBEARian
hahahaha
Lady Stardust
so it helps to have them piled into a place with a search funcrion
LiberBEARian
smart, I almost lost my goddamn mind at Sergio when he started pulling them down at random
LiberBEARian
"I'm doing it by size!" "you fucking what"
spooky queer
that is why i told him to stop helping lmao
Ptriciadactyl
my last move was a thing of beauty, I sorted through everything I owned in the couple weeks before I moved, and I had a seamless unpacking the same day I moved in.
LiberBEARian
The only thing we've done so far is clear out one bookcase of the books we don't wanna take with us
Ptriciadactyl
(even though I had packed almost nothing the day before my move and you looked at my room in horror, once we started it went so smoothly)
LiberBEARian
Part of my own library porn

Ptriciadactyl
books and yaaaaarn!

these are older pics but it's essentially the same

(there's a third bookcase behind that door, and there are a few in the hallway too but you get it)
