I suddenly feel like my bookshelves have run amuck.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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.
