The Novels Shelf Shift Begins

And it creeps slowly along...
As I often seem to do, I am starting at the end of the alphabet because that is where I moved other books and freed up some shelves to move the novels onto. Good thing I can alphabetize backwards as well as forwards. I am weeding out old books that have not sold in a long time, like years. This gives more space for the keepers and allows me to better utilized the space. I am also revamping the duplicates of the novels also to make it easier to shelve and restock.
The never-ending work of a bookstore--

Acheron, by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Finally, the book that answers all the questions about the Dark Hunters series. Who is Ash? What is Ash? Just how did the whole thing start? All these and more are explained in this book. As always, the story is very well-written and moves briskly along. The author's humor is also apparent as usual. Released last year, the store now has one copy available.

A Bookstore Threw Up in My Carport

I bought a lot of books from a woman who was selling off what was left of a family member's store. I had to send my two handymen with a truck to get them all. This is not all of them. At this point, I had already taken one stuffed-full car load of books I could not use for the store down to charity and another car load to the store where they reside in the back room for now waiting to be processed. Another load is in my storage area in the dutch barn. This is the last of the lot. The small stack of boxes nearest the camera will go to the store eventually. The large stack will go off to charity when one of my handymen gets their truck back on the road (each of them has a non-functioning truck right now).
The small business owner NEVER truly has a day off, even when staying at home that day.
