Avid readers, I have a confession to make - I destroy books!!!!!!!!!!
As you know, I like playing hide and seek [although the level of seeking leaves a lot to be desired]. This bookcase is really a door. I couldn't use whole books to make it for several reasons, the main one being that my carpentry skills are not up to supporting such a weight. So................ I run books through the saw bench and cut their spines off! There will be complaints, reports will be made and friends will be lost. In my defense I would like to say that I was very selective in the books that I chose.

All books published by Mills and Boon

Readers Digest publications
Books that were already falling to pieces.
I was surprised to learn I could buy books from some charity shops by the yard, as in days of yore. This proved to be a good move as there were lots that the terrible Goddess wanted to read, mainly intellectual, and some comics for me. The rest got beheaded.
I'm going to sit on the naughty step now and think about what I've done.
