I suddenly feel like my bookshelves have run amuck.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Because books.
I only match within series, too. But I also love hardcover books, so sometimes when I have a favorite novel in a worn-out mass market or trade edition, and I spot a used hardcover in good shape (for a good price) I'll pick it up.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I understand the feeling, Lee. Match? Books are supposed to match?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I feel lucky if I manage to get all the books by one author in one place.

Art Crawl!!!
I want stuff in series to be in the same format. (So that I can stack/shelf/otherwise place them together more easily.)
And really? I can mostly only afford mass market.

I prefer trade to HC - I don't find them as comfortable to read, and the trade are still prettier and heftier than the mass market size.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
okay - my shelves have the same author together. rough alphabetical ( due mostly to lack of space . really. 9 shelves slight over 3 1/2 feet long does not come close to holding everything) But since books are often bought without plan , matching a series is crazy talk.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
My authors are together and arranged in chronological order by when they were released.
I am an anal-retentive freak of nature.
