Too cool!
Except, I could never live there. I'd be constantly poking holes in the walls to read things.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They're not actually books.

Which I was relieved to see, as I was starting to get very irate at the size of some of the "books" being incorporated into furniture. "A book that size has to be very, very old, and you're using it for furniture!?!?"

Because books.
The chairs at the dining table were gorgeous. I liked the bed, too.

Loved the bed, but I love the design of that "screen" even more--what a brilliant idea, to have bookshelves on wheels with the ability to fold up! That would save me tons of room in my apartment.

It cracks me up that there are so few actual books shown.

One of the most awful stories I ever heard was about the wealthy woman who went to an antiquarian bookstore and purchased leatherbound books by the linear foot as a decorative device. Then she asked if the bookstore would cut them in half, because the shelves she had were too shallow. Good thing this House of Books link is cool with the faux.

It was just announced on my Regency writers' board that Zebra is discontinuing its traditional line. It doesn't really surprise me, but I honestly thought Signet would move first--they've been bringing out two Regencies per month to Zebra's four, and I've heard vague buzz that makes me feel like they're about to drop the line.
Traditional Regencies were the first romances I ever read, and I have a friend who just published her first and has another scheduled for the fall, plus two critique partners who are working on simply brilliant stories for the format. Sigh. End of an era.

I'm surprised there's any still out there, Susan. When I quit Waldenbooks back in 2002, they seemed to be phasing them out even then.

I'm betting Signet will end their line too by the end of the year.
