Well, it was a useful mad whim?

Today was beautiful and sunny. So what did I do for most of the day? Stay inside and reorganize book cases. But now my vampire books are easier to get to, which makes sense considering they're the genre I re-read most often.



Four of the five shelves. I still haven't reorganized the very top (not pictured) shelf, but when I do, that's probably where all the Vampire: the Masquerade books and art books will live. And I discovered I have more "real" vampire books (non-fiction about vampire archetypes, folklore, and the vampire subculture) than I realized.

I swear I don't read every vampire book I come across, really. There are whole swathes of them that are too annoying and dumb, even for me. (But I do have the tie-in novel for The Lost Boys.)

Beautiful! It looks great when a fairly specific genre is so well-represented. I love the display you've made with the books at the top, as well. I'm a librarian, so you'd think I'd get tired of looking at well-organised bookshelves, but I never do. In fact, I'm pretty sure my obsession is getting worse!

do you have/have you read "Let the Right One In"?

What a beautiful collection!

I particularly like all the Draculas. I am super jealous; I only own three editions.

Non-fiction vampire books are endlessly fascinating, although I admit to never having finished some of my Montague Summers books because his prose style is kind of insufferable and I get tired of him not translating things.

I love that Funeral Home sign! I would probably hang that on my lamppost by the front door. Where did you find that?

oh wow, I have been trying to get hold of the Lost Boys novel for so long, but it is so rare! lucky you!
