    It might be easier to show her your new “Because you always buy the book.” tattoo, which she can reference in the future.

      We did the home remodeling thing a few years back, which is stressful and fun in equal measures. Good luck with it! Hopefully there are some bookshelves in those plans!
      Thanks! I have plans for a library in a spare room at some point. It's not on the priority list of the project superintendent (wife) so it'll be years before it comes to pass. Thank God my son-in-law is handy. The savings in labor cost alone is amazing!

        Lower back tattoo, I'm assuming.

            Yep. Black ink. Really fancy calligraphy. You know, something that screams "I GOT CLASS!"

              The problem will be the illiterate tattoo artist, who will write it as "Because you always by the book", and then you'll be an Internet meme forever after.

                Well, of course. You don’t want it to sully a sophisticated outfit like a pair of low-rise jeans, crop top and bellybutton ring...

                  THAT's a tattoo that forces you to plan your wardrobe around it.

                    No ragrets.

                      I have just spent the most I have ever spent on a single book purchase. I wonder if that was a good or bad thing? At least it was a 2 book set.

                            Gauntlet Beardless Warriors and Brothers in Arms S/L set. No slipcase. Been wanting to order it for a while and decided to pull the trigger.

                              Ah, yes. I think I have that one on pre-order reservation, too...really looking forward to it.

                                I have the single volume on preorder. The SL was out of my price range when I ordered it. Perhaps I should upgrade ...

                                Actually I have an unsigned two volume edition on order. Thinking I should try for the signed one.
