There is a bookshelf in our living room that I haven't quite known what to do with. It was shoved against a wall when I was moving in but I never intended to leave it there. While unpacking I stacked books on it without thought or order and filled in around them with odds and ends that needed a quick spot to live for a while.

The shelf has stayed there all these months because I haven't known what else to do with it. The space on them is desperately needed but I didn't know where I wanted it. Finally I have decided to give up and leave it where it is. We have company coming this weekend and I just want thing to look orderly so I have started pulling off the books that don't belong there and arranging the ones that do.

Now the real problem: what to do with a stack of old romance novels!
