Why settle for one favorite when every book is a doorway to a new adventure, a new friend, or a new world? My shelves aren’t cluttered—they’re a kaleidoscope of experiences waiting to be lived again and again.

"So many books, so little time." – Frank Zappa
📚 The reader’s eternal struggle.

A marker, ink, & paint pen drawing of my OCs, The Watchers (TW), two supernatural robed creatures with gold hands & wings, robed so that their faces (we think they don’t have any!) are covered, showing only the mouse-like ear bumps on their heads. Left TW is lying on the second shelf down, gold feathered wings folded on their back, leaning on their elbows, looking at right TW, who is reaching for a book on the top shelf (Really Wicked Spells), trying to use their gold, blue, & yellow dragon wings to reach it (their feet do not touch the ground.)(Actually, their feet aren’t visible…). The left W is saying (in speech bubble): “…Asked The Prophet for new wings, huh? I TOLD you to wait until AFTER the summoning, “Smaug”!”. The right W is replying (in speech bubble) “Oh, shut up.”. The bookcase is brown wood. All the books have joke titles (like How to Knit Dr. Wu’s Cardigan!). Top shelf, L-R: a mysterious glowing machine, 13 books, a wooden box with a gold lock that has a cobweb & a mouse skull set on top, a three-eyed, fanged, skull under a glass dome, 11 books about Cryptids. 2nd shelf, L-R: a pink day planner (for 6000 b.c.e.), 15 diaries dating from 3000b.c.e.-1970c.e., left TW lying in front of books, 7 visible books, right TW’s arm & head, 7 more books. 3rd shelf, L-R: a box with air holes & 2 labels (DO NOT OPEN!, & CONTENTS: ONE CAT (MAYBE)) marked Schrödinger Animal Distribution, 7 books, a gold machine with black legs that has a glass top containing a large eye & smaller eyes on stalks, 2 books (Tiny Mobile Death Ray!), right TW’s body, 3 books. Bottom shelf, L-R: 22 books, the rest covered by right TW. Don’t worry, TWs are inseparable! And The Prophet will probably give them new wings soon(ish). TWs are in the library of The Mouse Prophet (also my OC). The book titles reference my other OCs, monsters, magic, & parodies of real books. Wings reference for left TW: TigerStrawberry/iStock, right TW: The Sforza Hours (1400s). My fave bit is right TW’s wings.

This WAS fun! 😀 It took me about 20 hours altogether, & I space out my “things on shelves” drawings, b/c they’re a lot of work (by comparison, most drawings take between 4-7 hrs).
The Prophet has a very large library. 🤨

And I don’t feel the least bit guilty about it. 🤣 #somanybooks

I'm officially on vacation for the next week to burn some time before I lose it. Now...to dive into the "to read" stack and see what I can get through.

My Dirty Little Reading Habit (book reviews incoming) A while back I had begun working on a series of non-fiction books I called the Book Club Companion series. The idea was to read and review current popular fiction, and then write some pop-literary …

Perhaps some of you would like to join me in my reading challenge. I'm setting out to read the 238 best novels ever (as determined by the internet). I'm just about to begin the Cosmic Trilogy by C.S. Lewis. More about the challenge at www.msmanz.com/my-dirty-lit...

So excited to have gotten @debbieohi.com’s new book for my library! Now, to process all of the books in this photo (plus 100+ more out of the frame) without stoping to read them…

"On which device would you like to read the novel: Phone, PC, e-reader or paperback?"
Me: "Yes."

#reading #somanybooks

The bad thing about impulse-buying e-books is that it's so easy to lose track of them. I just noticed a book I got earlier this week and had already forgotten buying. 😬 (It was super on sale, at least. As was the one I got yesterday.) #somanybooks #solittletime

"Do you need therapy?"

"Nah, I'm good."

"Do you want to try and publish one of the ten novels you've written?"
