I would have to build it out of books that I had absolutely no interest in reading, or I would get hopelessly distracted during the building process and not be heard from again for a long, long time.

Love, love the Christmas look, Bluebird! So festive. And I agree with another responder – it is a great idea to make a tree out of books, but then I’d see one I want to read, and oops! There she goes!

Just be sure before you start that all of the books are written in some foreign language(s) that you never studied. 🙂

Or too many books and not enough shelf space.

aw, heck. I could’ve been doing something like that while re-organizing my shelves. Heaven knows there are more coming in the mail and less space so far (just not reading ’em quick enough to get rid of the lousy ones to make room–gah!)
