Friday Linkups - I Hate Everyone Except You

It's Friday linkup time!  I'm linking up with the Book Blogger Hop hosted by Coffee Addicted Writer, Book Beginnings of Fridays hosted by Rose City Reader, and the Friday 56 hosted by Freda's Voice

This Week's Book Blogger Hop Question:
Do you re-arrange and move books around on the shelves or move books off your bookshelves to another area after a certain amount of time or do you just leave them the way they are?

My Answer:
I'm pretty limited in book storage area right now.  I do have one small bookshelf that's devoted to fiction and one larger bookshelf that has non fiction and middle grade.  I used to have books piled up under my side of the bed but for allergy reasons (a rather vicious dust mite allergy) I had to pack them up in plastic storage boxes and put them in the guest room.  Right now the only time a book gets moved is when I read it.  I don't typically keep a book I've read unless it's a book I want to reread or will reference for something.  I usually use paperbackswap to swap books I've read for new books.  At the end of the year I'll fill in gaps on my fiction shelf with books from my storage boxes but that's about all the moving around.  I have plans of turning one of the guest rooms into a library with lots and lots of shelves and once that happens I doubt I'll move books around all that much.

I've been a Clinton Kelly fan since I found his TLC show What Not to Wear at least a decade ago.  The banter between Kelly and his co-host, Stacy London, was always so funny and their advice was always so fantastic.  I was thrilled when I discovered he was on The Chew, a daytime talk show where they mostly talk about food that features Carla Hall, Daphne Oz, Mario Batali, and Michael Symons. He always comes off as hilarious as smart so when I saw his latest book, I Hate Everyone Except You, at the library I knew it had to come home with me and so far it has lived up to my expectations.  It's hilarious, smart, and with a touch of heart.

The Beginning:
In the spring of 1982, I got it into my head that I needed, more than anything in the whole world, to visit Action Park in New Jersey.  The commercials, which played every seven minutes during reruns of Gilligan's Island and The Brady Bunch, spoke to the deepest desires of my thirteen-year-old soul.

The 56:
Mark must have put Meredith on tray duty because she began to tidy the empty tables around us.  She wouldn't look in our direction, and I couldn't blame her.

So what do you think?  Keep reading?
