“Meh, who ‘reads’ books? It’s pretty!”
Store shelver probably.
My mum used to do this to my books in my room and I hated it
What’s an Op Shop?
It looks like a charity shop that I would see around here. They also organise clothes by colour which makes more sense but still, I’m only looking for my size and in a charity shop the clothes are all random so availability is more important.
It’s a shortening of opportunity shop
I’m in the mood to read something orange today.
I did this to all my parents’ bookshelves when I was about 8. For the next 45 years they blamed me every time they couldn’t find a book.
This is a far more rational order than the chaos that is our bookshelves:
And that is after significant weeding.
We did try with the paperbacks, but we decided “fuck it” after a while.
Putting the wooden doll up one shelf with the other humanoid figures would be a good start.
It took me a while to figure out what you were talking about. That’s not even supposed to be there. That’s my daughter’s. I have no idea why she decided to put it there apart from the aforementioned “fuck it.”
I think that is mildly satisfying. To be fair: I haven’t seen a single book shop sorting the books alphabetical. A book shop isn’t a library.
i love it. searching through old books at a resale shop is a great setting for randomness to explore
My wife does this to our books and it drives me nuts.
- “Where’s The Art of War?”
- “It’s in the black section”
One year her mom and I reordered them by author last name while she was away on a work trip. Took her 5 seconds upon returning home to notice it was different and she was furious.
“I’d like to buy a book, please” “What are you interested in?” “A blue one!”
Maybe they’ll further alphabetize it after sorting by color… hahah right. What a mess
baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarfffff
