Sunday Salon: A Note To My Dear Husband

To my dearest husband,

Saturday marks the 36th anniversary of my existence on earth, and I know you often struggle with what to get me. Here's a hint. A big hint. Jilly needs some new bookshelves

Look at this literary mess. My dad's Civil War books on the floor. Piles stacked two-deep on shelves intended for a vase and a few paperbacks. The top littered with too many pictures. What is a girl to do?

Certainly you would never suggest that your beloved wife stop acquiring books. I know this thought never entered your mind.

So, please help me out. And get a gift that keeps on giving - until I acquire more books and need more shelves. (But that's what next year is for.)

Thank you for your thoughtfulness and your love.

Your Wife

I really hope you get what you want. Last time I tried this I got an electric toothbrush!

Oh no! An electric toothbrush?!?! That would not do, at all! =)

If getting you a new bookcase seems a little blah for a gift from said hubby to the book addicted wife....perhaps he should look into something more creative. Like the bibliochaise

or perhaps with a little elbow grease he can transform a staircase in your house to look like this:

happy pre-birthday!
But what do you want from your readers? :)

I would never suggest not acquiring books, but someday soon I want to blog about getting rid of books. Because it's something I've only become really able to do over the past year or so, and it's such a complex and difficult process for so many of us!

Poo to Livejournal for not letting people just put in a name and url. I'll have to post this using one of my LJ accounts and SCANDALOUSLY put my current journal at the bottom:

LOL Jill! Good one! At least your asking for something practical and relativly inexpesive (not counting all the books).
