Is this where I get to gloat and say I have whole room for books in my apartment (though I have several shelves worth in other rooms)?
We're slowly re-organizing the dining room to turn it into a library, with a table off to one side that we can eat at. Because our huge dining table? Is not used for dining. It is used for storing books, and for having a gazillion clothing alteration projects (with extra fabric, buttons, and trim) heaped upon.
Quick literary hive mind question:
What is the name of womb/birth symbolism? I know it has a name and can't remember it. Also, is there a name for the female version of "phallic" symbolism?
I don't know if it's the correct term; just that I've heard it before.
Looks like it googles well. Now to find the womb/birthing term.
paisleys are symbolic of the womb. I know that's not what you're looking for but it's a fun fact I like to share often.
ok , still reading
Rebel Angels.

What a great bookstore! Now, they just have to get themselves featured on Ace of Cakes for some national TV recognition--maybe they can order a funky theme cake for an event?
