Too many novels is definitely how I want to go, but I'm probably more likely to suffer from a stong bout of drawing-room anguish πŸ˜œπŸ˜‚

Screenshot of Bookwyrm showing me the books I have read in 2025.

Comic from Unshelved about a boy asking librarian about what books he can check out and the librarian telling him he can check out any book. The teacher says it's above the child's reading level and they have a policy. The librarian replies he loves the sound of a breaking policy breaking.

So, putting the book down where you finish reading it until it organically evolves into a pile of books doesn't count as "arranging"? Rude! πŸ˜œπŸ˜‚

I noticed that I can't leave the page number blank when I post updates on my BookWyrm account. I'm listening to an audiobook, so I don't have pages.

(Amusingly I'm listening to a story about a vampire living in the modern-day U.S., so this is making feel that feeling of "uh, my circumstances are an odd exception to the way things are implemented." heh.)
