I put my books on the shelves, arranging them alphabetically, only to change my mind and rearrange by color and then again by which books I think would be friends.
I love this idea so much and considered altering my bookshelf organization when I remembered I wouldn’t remember which books were friends. Even in real life, I’m terrible at determining compatibility, assuming everyone I like must also like each other. Then coming to realize that is not always the case while at a coffee shop sharing a table with said persons who don’t like each other—awkward. Anyway, alphabetical it is for me and my overloaded bookshelves.

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind. Nor hath love's mind of any judgment taste; Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste: And therefore is love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd.”

“That's what I love about reading: one tiny thing will interest you in a book, and that tiny thing will lead you to another book, and another bit there will lead you onto a third book. It's geometrically progressive - all with no end in sight, and for no other reason than sheer enjoyment.”
