I don’t own many books. But the few I do own hold significance to me. Each represents a life event. Each is like a mini-memory palace. This video isn’t current, but this goes over the significance of my small collection. Bookshelf Tour: Every Book I Own! youtu.be/0DFs9bTyNiE
It’s no secret that I’ve had to sell a lot of collection to free up space for a baby bedroom, and money for baby bedroom furniture. Well today is the day that the survivors were moved to their new location in the house. So here, in thread form is my new, consolidated collection:

Waiting not so patiently….
It’s so sad that I’m not excited. I LOVE Gene Wolfe. I LOVE owning physical copies of books. I LOVE The Urth of the New Sun. But… I also love beautiful covers. And I just don’t have faith that publishers know what their audience wants. I hope I am proven wrong.
