In our new apartment there is a room just off the living room that we're using as a study/computer/book room, and I've laid claim to the one windowless wall.

A tent in the backyard probably wouldn't do.<br /><br />Every time I walk down the cereal aisle of the grocery store, I'm amazed at the variety--and strange types of cereals that are for sale. I really like Chex too. <br /><br />I'm hoping I'll like The Red Tent. I've really dragged my feet about reading it.<br /><br />I enjoyed my pamper me day, thanks!<br /><br /><b>Stacy</b> - Oo! That sounds good too. Although, I've never really liked Cheerios with milk. I love them dry though.<br /><br /><b>Iliana</b> - If it was just me, I imagine I would eat cereal for breakfast now and then. My husband just isn't in to it. <br /><br />Thanks! I hope you have a good weekend too.<br /><br /><b>Terri</b> - That messy chocolate sundae sounded good to me too, but I was good and skipped it. :-) <br /><br /><b>Emerald Fire</b> - Thank you so much!<br /><br /><b>Carrie (Patience)</b> - Haha! I can believe it! <br /><br />I'm the same way. Once they get home, I'm not feeling quite ready for them and so they get set aside until a later date.<br /><br />July's been busy, definitely. And mostly good. :-) <br /><br /><b>Wisteria</b> - I have to admit, sometimes I'm surprised my husband lets me get away with what he does in regards to my book collection, but then, he has his own collections and I'm sure he's glad I don't say anything about those. :-)<br /><br /><b>Julie</b> - Yes, I agree. We all should have a TBR room. :-) I hope you have a great weekend too!<br /><br /><b>Kristy</b> - I am glad to hear you liked The Red Tent. I hope I do too. And I agree. I wouldn't want to live back then either!<br /><br /><b>Molly (& Andy)</b> - Haha! It's bound to happen eventually anyway. I appreciate you taking the time to e-mail me. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-61821046875114667082009-07-17T22:10:18.807-07:002009-07-17T22:10:18.807-07:00Melody - Thank you, Melody. It really did happen ...<b>Melody</b> - Thank you, Melody. It really did happen quite by accident. We store other things in there as well, but the books have definitely taken over.<br /><br />Riley's friend did not come back today. I hope he's okay.<br /><br />I hope you have a great weekend too.<br /><br /><b>Meghan</b> - A spare bedroom does seem like a good place for books, doesn't it? We haven't gotten any complaints about all the books in there when company stays over. Of course, we don't often have company spending the night . . .<br /><br /><b>Yvonne</b> - Exactly! It wouldn't have turned out quite so well if I planned it. :-) I hope you have a good weekend too!<br /><br /><b>Nicole</b> - I definitely need more shelves. If we were staying in this house, I'd have my husband build shelves all along the top of the wall, like a border through every room. Okay so maybe that's not the best idea. <br /><br />We get a lot of comments on the books in our living room. Everyone goes straight for the bookshelves and linger there for awhile. :-)<br /><br /><b>Caspette</b> - I don't think Riley can fit under the fence like the little dog can, thank goodness. But, yeah, that would be bad if the little dog rekindled the escape artist skills in my dog.<br /><br />I hadn't really thought of it when responding the book cover question, but I admit to spending more sometimes for a more attractive cover when given a choice.<br /><br />Yes! Bookshelves make wonderful places for kitties to play. Mine love to climb up on mine and settle in at the window, sometimes even sitting on the books themselves.<br /><br />I hope you have a great weekend too, Mandy!<br /><br /><b>Sandy</b> - My husband and I were even talking possible names for the little guy. He didn't come back today. I hope he's okay.<br /><br />Oh, definitely! Converting a grown child's bedroom to a TBR room is a wonderful idea. :-)<br /><br /><b>Lisa</b> - Haha! I try not to use the bed in the TBR room as a bookshelf, but it's happened when I'm sorting or have yet to file books away on the shelves of the designated crates.<br /><br />I hope you have a great weekend too, Lisa. I look forward to reading your thoughts about The Red Tent.<br /><br /><b>Kathy</b> - Haha! Maybe you can convert the dining room into one or something like that. :-) You can still eat in there, you may just have to move around a few books.<br /><br /><b>Kelly</b> - We could open our own little library!<br /><br /><b>Kristie</b> - When you put it that way, I wish I had a basement. That would be perfect! I bet it will look wonderful when you are finished. I hope you have a wonderful weekend too.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-39040471897227116502009-07-17T20:42:03.401-07:002009-07-17T20:42:03.401-07:00Well now I am regretting encouraging a Goodreads h...Well now I am regretting encouraging a Goodreads habit - I didn't know you had a TBR ROOM!The Bumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334162339045336577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-51379713127026592742009-07-17T19:52:49.342-07:002009-07-17T19:52:49.342-07:00I hope you like The Red Tent.

We have been divorced for about 7 years, and since that time my library has become my house. So I can totally understand the TBR room. <br />I'm going to post about this tomorrow I think.
