A few years ago, I went through some big life changes. I decided to give myself a personal project and turned my spare bedroom into a library room. I had previously donated most of my physical books and mainly bought them digitally at that point. I figured I would spend many years to come collecting and filling up the room. However, it filled up a lot faster than expected and I ended up having to expand out to another room. I've slowed down the buying of physical books again. I just don't have the space for many more, and besides, I have a lot of stuff sitting on my shelves now waiting for me to get to them.

A photo of a room in my house taken from the doorway. There is a window on the opposite wall where natural light is coming in. Trees can be seen outside it. Below the window are short bookcases with two lamps and a speaker sitting atop them. A chair can be seen to the right of them. The wall to the left is lined with bookcases. In the middle of the room there are two rows of bookcases. Some large zines and oversized books sit atop the farthest row. The bookcases themselves are nearly full of books.
A view of the room described in the previous photo but taken from the corner of the room where the chair next to the window sits. More bookcases can be seen lining the far wall. Another chair and a lamp can be seen in the opposite corner.
A photo of another room in my house. A dining room table can be seen in the foreground. The background is a wall lined with four bookcases filled with books. There is another small bookcase on the wall to the right of these. It is shorter than the other ones, but also filled with books. Those ones happen to be graphic novels, though you can't necessarily tell from the picture.

I have this weird collection of junky first editions of books because they look wonderfully used. And I read them!!

At today's estate sale - for $2 - a first printing of "The Other Side of Midnight" (by Sydney Sheldon, the same guy who wrote I Dream of Jeannie) without its luxurious early-70's dust cover.

I just love finding books like this tucked away in collections. Nothing around it matched, although plenty of other pop fiction. These things are what catch my eye.

I also have an awesome copy of Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Anais Nin's Little Birds, and All The Kings Men (not read yet). Several of and related to Paul Bowles. 💜

A black hardback book with red writing on the spine that reads "The Other Side of Midnight". On the book is a small carved wooden mask and a colorful metal ball in greens and reds and deep blues.

My entire Shirley Jackson collection. The Popular Library with the fancy font (& art by William Teason, I think) is the series I had been missing one from, UNTIL NOW. The others are miscellaneous vintage paperbacks I've collected, including two rare ones (The Corgi HILL HOUSE & the golden cat CASTLE one.)

@bookstodon@a.gup.pe

Popular Library editions of 11 Shirley Jackson books with her name in a fancy font and fantastic artwork (I think from William Teason but I may be wrong)
10 miscellaneous editions of Shirley Jackson paperbacks

Who's a fan of Billy Martin aka ? I can't properly convey how amazing it was to discover their Words in the 90's... Utterly unique, provocative, beautiful prose; the only comparison to Barker for darkly , , writing.
If you like & aren't familiar, I highly recommend Exquisite Corpse and well, everything else here!

What's your favorite, if you've read Brite?


Books by Poppy Z Brite aka Billy Martin: Exquisite Corpse, Liquor, Prime, Drawing Blood, Lost Souls, Wormwood, Plastic Jesus, Are You Loathsome Tonight?, The Devil You Know
