Hi Denise
I have noticed a lot of photographs lately on the decorating blogs of books displayed by color on shelves.  What do you think about this?  Thanks for taking the time to answer, Jesse

Well, Jesse, I’ve seen a lot of this, too.  We must be reading the same stuff!  This picture made the blog rounds many times.  Whoever did this certainly caused an uproar!

I decided to go around my house and take random pictures of a few of the millions of stacks of books I have.  It is hard not to notice that I tend to do this.  Not as rigidly as the picture, mind you, but certain colors tend to–congregate.  I can’t really help myself.
