I like what I like and what I like is love. Romance reader and vintage romance collector. My bookshelves that are organized by color annoy people.

I bathe in the hatred people have for my bookshelf organisation; by color. Look I love it visually so you can keep your opinions about that to yourself. And I've talked previously about how they are all entered into an app to make them easier to find.

@ItsAndyRyan My son once got home from school and asked if the "c" word was a bad word. "Well I'll let you say it this one time. Because it could be really bad or nothing." It was crap. "Hell no. That's not a bad word." "What's the word you thought it was, mom?"
