This is not my library... but it is interesting...
a library arranged by COLOR!
Could there be so many pink books
in the whole world?
I would not have imagined it.
Please pardon this utility post. I'm trying to create a single "place" where I can keep track of where and when I talk about what books. I'll be adding to it as I can... this is becoming a bigger job than I'd anticipated.
I need to figure out a way to order these... by author? by subject (sounds easier than it will be)? by date of reference? Any suggestions?

Clerk's Response: "Give It Up For Shecky Greenburg, the funniest man in the Catskills! He'll playing here at the Pine Valley Lodge all week!"

You're obviously not familiar with a certain genre of chick lit, the kind where a young woman goes to an urban place and after many adventures finds both a job and a man--every single one of those books is pink.
