Unfortunately, the new organization was pretty much full from the start, so while a few purchases could be squeezed in, additional purchases began to pile up on a nice empty counter near the bookshelf. When I needed that shelf for a visitor (its where my guests can put their suitcase to have an organized place to live from), the books moved to my dining room table, many on top of my keyboard, and suddenly I foudn myself living in aside what seemed like a pile of books. I reorganized my books in 2023, and having little space to add new books to the collection, I began to collect piles of books on the working shelf near the book case, causing clutter and chaos.
The visitor was my mother, and she suggested I rent a place to store the books, and thus the seed was planted for the Library of Everything. I think she meant a storage unit to put books in and not to open a store at Pike Place Market, but hopefully she’ll understand.
The shelf contains three sections with nine square shelves each for a total of 27 sections. I considered this a challenge to organize my vast collection of books into 27 top-level categories.
