this is what my bookshelves look like now. they're not too different to the way they were earlier this morning, but they are much cleaner
A few days ago a friend of mine introduced me to bookshelfporn.com and I’ve been hooked on it ever since, like obsessively. I’ve had the site open since then, terrified that for some reason I’m going to lose it in this great big cyber jungle maze. And until now, I’ve been fixated with doing a little something of my own with what books I’ve collected over the past four years (post-divorce, new life, new books). My bookshelves may not be bursting with books, but the ones I have are very special to me. They each have their own story, whether it’s the one being told inside, or the one I tell about the book.
I didn’t want to simply reorganize my bookshelves without giving my books their deserved share of fun. So this morning I indulged in a bit of book-play (happily to say, there were just a couple of topples and a few simple injuries to my feet). (more…)

someone needs to build a train track from my place to dar.nur. a train wouldn't hurt either. i spy. a little blue book
I took another trip to dar.nur this afternoon. I must admit, it was business, but I just can’t help hanging around and taking photos. The place is teeming with beautiful objects. A wonderful place to award yourself an allowance and go nuts! (more…)

body parts standing nice and tall at dar.nur
I have delivered some copies of my book Body Parts to one of my favorite shops in Kuwait, dar.nur. I also took ten of my framed postcards. dar.nur is the perfect place to go this time of year for fine gifts you won’t find anywhere else in Kuwait. I do hope you give it a visit.

imagine this under a christmassy douglas-fir
I spent this afternoon wrapping and organizing delivery of the first batch of my book Body Parts. I don’t know, maybe it’s in my blood (my mom’s a huge wrapping fiend) but I love fussing with ‘gifts’. I know these aren’t technically presents but the people who bought them should feel like they have just purchased a gift to themselves. Congratulations to them, and I do hope they enjoy the book. Happy holidays! (more…)
