Hmm we’re on shelf 3 already and I’ve only just got to letter T in the ‘modern literature’ section (and letter W will take up almost an entire shelf on its own).

I don’t mind very much as I was almost regretting ordering the other bookcase so at least this validates my purchase, but I definitely reckon I’m going to have to do some weeding...

#Think the A Song of Ice and Fire books aren't going to make the final cut #Not because I have any major issues with them just they're not even a complete set and I'm not fussy about saving them #The Casual Vacancy may also be going #I've been back and forth on this (the whole Rowling thing; plus I may never reread it but I felt like it should stay there for the record)#I mean really though when did I last read some of these- I have GOT to either reread them or give them away #I mean there are Inspector Morse novels in there that I know I read but have NO memory of #And Mary Stewart's the Hollow Hills is pretty but am I really going to reread it? Really?#But we shall see how this goes #Modern literature really isn't an issue #I mean it's the area that's most likely to expand in the immediate future because there's some books I've read in the last few years #that were audiobooks or library books but I would like to add to my collection for future rereading #However it is definitely not the biggest section and I don't mind making some sacrifices of older material #Mediaeval and classical literature is going to take up a hefty amount of space though #And there was me thinking I might not be able to plug the gaps even with children's books and my jotters #I was even considering dismantling the travel section in the living room to move upstairs but fingers crossed that may not be necessary #Though I'm still faced with the conundrum of whether The Living Mountain belongs with my nature and travel books or Shepherd's novels #Earth & Stone
