I haven't been very active lately, reading has taken a bit of a back seat. Instead I've been stubbornly battling onwards with a diy fitted kitchen and living room revamp. As a result all of my books are piled up in the upstairs of our house.... I'm sure this isn't really a fire hazard! On the plus side my upper arms have been getting a great work out from all the heavy lifting 🙄

This is more complicated than anything I‘ve ever built from scratch, and I don‘t have room for more bookshelves, but it makes me want to build some! I have all the tools I would need except for a drill press, my dad has one I could borrow and he lives right down the street. It‘s so tempting to try! 😬📐🛠

Cinfhen I LOVE it 😊 7y
SandyW I'm enabling you... Try it, you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish! 7y
GypsyKat @SandyW Haha! Thank you! I know I can, I‘ve built stuff before. It‘s more that I really, truly have no place for it. 7y

2BR02B My boyfriend at the time built the huge set of plywood bookshelves in my room. They've only collapsed once so far. 🤞 7y

Last night we finished most of the stuff on our fireplace wall... Even got some books in the alcove (very rough arrangement for now lol).... Nice as the facing wall doesn't even have plaster yet!

Natasha.C.Barnes @cocomass 😄 I'm building a set for an operetta in that pic--very low-budget affair. The hoops became this big tree-like canopy thing. What I love about theme parties is transforming a space (we made big birch trees for a Christmas party once) and that was the biggest example of one I had on my phone. 7y
cocomass I‘m so impressed. Your commitment to themes is seriously inspirational! 7y
Natasha.C.Barnes @cocomass ☺️ Thank you! If you like theme parties you all are welcome to check out my Pinterest boards. I've got a lot of other crap on there I have to clean up, but maybe what I've collected would be fun for other people as well as me! Pinterest.com/Natashacarol9 7y

So...not a great day for my willpower (and this wasn't even everything I bought). When there are discounted books to be had, my eyes glaze over and I turn into Daffy Duck: "It's mine, ya understand? Mine, all mine! Mine, mine, mine!" *maniacal laughter* Then the fog clears and I have to do damage control. I feel like this community will commiserate rather than judge.

My belated #bookrainbow for yesterday's #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge
Litsy for Android beta hasn't let me post all day so I'm back on the iPad! 💪

Bibliogeekery I've been trying the Android beta test as well and I've never successfully been able to post a photo from it. I can comment (like now) but have had to use the iPad for posts. Have you had success on other days with Android posting? 8y
DebinHawaii Pretty and worth the wait! 😀🌈 8y
Bibliogeekery Beautiful picture, by the way 😀 8y

britt_brooke Nice photo! 📷 8y
Carol @Bibliogeekery I was able to post yesterday via Android but not today. I was able to post the first day beta was available, too, but then it had a major crash and I didn't redownload it until yesterday. 8y

elkeOriginal Beautiful! Library cards and Reading Rainbow mug put it over the top. ❤️💛💚💙💜💖 8y
Well-ReadNeck ❤️🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 8y
saguarosally Android beta? Yay! Now I hope Litsy will be in the Amazon AppStore. ✍🏽 8y
Carol @saguarosally once it's out of beta I bet it will! Stay tuned; it has only been beta for about a week or two. 8y

The book was very cute! I felt like I wrote it, or we could be friends! The mid section with drink recipes from Mamrie Hart! I have tons of great ideas now!
