Alright Booklr, I'm moving soon and I need your help deciding...

How should I (or how do you) organise your bookshelves??

No genre separation, sorted alphabetically by author last name

Separation of genre, sorted alphabetically by author last name

Rainbow shelves (how??? What about series?)

Size order (again, how?? What about series?)

My shelves are chaos, there is no sorting them

Other (please explain in the tags)

prompt of the day: what book did you last re-read?

I am actually in the process of re-reading my entire collection of books. It is a slow process but is helping to better understand what I like and dislike in fiction. 

Has anyone else ever re-read all their books?

The Horror of Collier County (20th Anniversary Edition) Escaping the stresses of city life, a young, single mom visits the hurricane state, only to find that Florida can be a pretty scary place—swamps, alligators, bugs the size of small cars, and zombies. With a weed-whacker for a weapon and the world against her, this punk-rock mommy will take down every monster in the state if need be. Is Florida really haunted by the undead, or is it just in her head? Collects issues #1-#5 of the cult classic series by Dry County creator Rich Tommaso, and featuring new cover art, fully colored and collected in a deluxe format for the first time, and featuring two bonus stories. https://www.comixology.com/The-Horror-of-Collier-County-20th-Anniversary-Edition/digital-comic/768379 I just noticed that Dark Horse has rereleased the awesome Horror of Collier County by Rich Tommaso @richtommaso who it turns out made two other recent comics that I really liked the striking look of, Spy Seal and Dry County, both from Image comics. I loved the Collier County  series 20 years ago and feel it holds up well today. When you search for Rich Tommaso on Wikipedia, the second result is “The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library” with the mention: “The design work was done by Fantagraphics' lead designer, Jacob Covey. The pages are recolored by Rich Tommaso, using the original comics as a coloring guide, unlike some of Fantagraphics' more scholarly reprints, as the books are aimed at a more general audience than many of Fantagraphics' other offerings, which are often aimed at the comics cognoscenti.” Which the first part of sounds complimentary and the end sounds like someone making a dig. I really like Tommaso’s coloring and on one occasion tried to color a thing using only the colors in an early issue of Spy Seal. (I don’t remember which thing that was and if I even finished it.) #thehorrorofcolliercounty #horrorofcolliercounty #richtommaso #spyseal #drycounty #darkhorse #darkhorsecomics #image #imagecomics #richtommasocomics #comics #indiecomics #bokstagram #booksofinstagram #cartooncharacters #cartoons #cartooncomics #comics #swamps #aligators #CompleteCarlBarksDisneyLibrary (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byz7CBohSIn/?igshid=el9um00192nk

Ok. Here’s the deal. I am working all day long at my computer. I don’t want to post every day a photo of my screen. And I’m usually avoiding those photos. They’re not that nice. So in order not to bore you with those, I’ll just take photos around the house or of my food. Is that ok?  For today here’s a photo from my shelf. I arrange my books by colour. Which seems like a complete blasphemy to some of my friends seeing that I put Baudrillard in between Tales of Beedle the Brad and The Rules of Poker. But I enjoy looking at them like this. So they stay like this. Maybe the following days I’ll photograph the other colours. What colour would you like to see?

The History of Bees // Maja Lunde

This dazzling and ambitious literary debut follows three generations of beekeepers from the past, present, and future, weaving a spellbinding story of their relationship to the bees and to their children and one another against the backdrop of an urgent, global crisis.

England, 1852. William is a biologist and seed merchant, who sets out to build a new type of beehive one that will give both him and his children honor and fame.

United States, 2007. George is a beekeeper fighting an uphill battle against modern farming, but hopes that his son can be their salvation.

China, 2098. Tao hand paints pollen onto the fruit trees now that the bees have long since disappeared. When Tao's young son is taken away by the authorities after a tragic accident, she sets out on a grueling journey to find out what happened to him.

Haunting, illuminating, and deftly written, The History of Bees joins these three very different narratives into one gripping and thought-provoking story that is just as much about the powerful bond between children and parents as it is about our very relationship to nature and humanity.
