Unfortunately, I have to turn down more review requests than I can accept simply because I'm not a fast reader. (I don't understand people who can read an 80,000-word book over the weekend and then write a review of it the following Monday.) So, here in this small den where the bookshelves already cover the walls like thick wallpaper, books are piled on top of anything. Anything (such as one of my cats) could set off a rumbling cascade of books at any moment. Note: my real shelf is larger than the one in the picture.
If you have sent me an ARC, I haven't forgotten you, I promise. I know it sounds lame, but I'm backed up, running behind, and trying to catch up.

Have a great week and, if you're behind in your reading, please stand clear of any and all bookshelves.

We have books piled up on our marbletop buffet, on the floor by the couch, on the floor next to the bed. On the nightstands, and on our desks. If we piled up all the books that never make it to the bookshelves, they'd weave their way up the stairs to the second floor. Yeah. I understand the avalanche of books thing!
I have 7 bookcases upstairs, many double-shelved. Then there are the stacks downstairs, 4-5 large plastic storage containers in the basement, and about 5 similar containers in the garage. Several years ago I donated 5-6 large plastic containers of books to the monastery. Currently, I have at least 1700+ ebooks, and many are free. it is so hard to refrain from gobbling books!
Mary and Smoky, I'm not surprised to hear you have books anywhere and everywhere.
