Ha! I love the drinks named after the characters, particularly the Haymitch:
Our buddy Haymitch loves his flask like I love cake, but we thought that if we were to truly distill the spirit of Haymitch into one drink, it A) needed to be a shot and B) needed to be Serious Alcoholic Business. So, without further ado . . .
Ingredients:
1/2 oz Tennessee Whiskey
1/2 oz Bourbon
1/2 oz Scotch
1/2 oz Seagrams 7
In a cocktail shaker, combine the four liquors and ice and give a hearty shake. Strain into a chilled double-shot glass. Please try not to die.
Or you could sort by color: [link]
The color thing is awesome, but it would drive me nuts to have stuff by the same author separated.
I don't organize much beyond shelf by shelf. I put all fiction together, then poetry, nonfiction, etc., but I don't really alphabetize it, though I do put authors together. And hardcovers go together, with paperbacks together, etc. It's a little unique, but I always know where my books are.
I have to admit, I've been trying to find space on my shelves and I'm definitely tempted to get rid of books just because of their spine not really going with the rest of my collection:
Kavalier & Clay
I'm looking at you.
My coworker organized by colour and it looks amazing.
I organize my books alphabetically by author (or editor, for anthology), and by title within an author's set.
Have any of you folks who like YA read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series? It's not really YA, but it's really well done and very fast pace and entertaining.
I just read Riordan's new series with Egyptian Mythology.
It's a little bit younger, right, Kat? I think Ben has the first book in that series,
The Lightning Thief,
but he read it a while ago. I haven't tried them.
