Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades,…

The Empty Shelf

1st May 2012

I am in the midst of sorting out books to give away/sell.  As someone who actively hoards books, this is painful.  But also a good thing.  I want more space, less clutter.  Fewer boxes to cart out when we move.  Somewhere in my mission, I found this: I’m posting the above as proof, and for posterity.
