Gotta love a credit card rewards program that, in the long run, results in gift cards that get you free bookcases. Combined with a free shipping offer from Sears, I think we must have spent an actual $20 for two tall bookcases. And now our living room is decluttered. Whew! I was even able to put my stack of review books on shelves finally, instead of keeping them in a box.
I just finished Tan Twan Eng’s The Gift of Rain. It was not an easy book to read, but it was magnificent. I’ll try to review it tomorrow.
Meanwhile, once Thanksgiving is over I should be able to review a good handful of cookbooks!
Though we had to pay for our bookcases, we really appreciated them once we got them. They do help a lot with random clutter…
Wow! That is a great deal! I am glad you are putting those bookcases to good use. 🙂 I could probably use a couple of more bookcases, but I’m not sure hubby wants them. He’d rather I read the books and send them on their way. If only we weren’t such book collectors. LOL
Scott: Aye, and they’ve been long overdue. Every time we thought we’d have the money for bookcases, something like vet bills or car repairs came up!
Literary Feline: Hehe, I do try to donate a lot of the books I read to the library nowadays, but there’s a certain minimum I have to keep around. Particularly the ones I like to reference a lot, such as RPG books and certain writing books.
Ugh, vet bills… WTB pet insurance. Now to keep those shelves organized and dust free. 😀
Krones: I gather pet insurance does exist. I should really look into it… our cats could use it. 🙁 Selene’s allergies alone bring us into the vet’s office a couple of times a year, typically. And it was a lot worse when her asthma was constant, before we switched her to a raw diet.
