Lauren’s a psychopath.
The “J” in “J & L(auren)” is MISERABLE
It’s a Jason isn’t it? He seems happy on the outside. He has a good job, people think he’s lucky having a probably pretty wife and the dinner parties are great in a home that’s so neutral no-one can dislike the decor.
But he’s thinking of ending it. It’s just that every time he is about to have enough free time to drown himself or something he gets a text from Lauren that needs answering immediately.
She wouldn’t like the mess anyway, he ponders, it wouldn’t be very neutral.
Normally I’m against the death penalty, but I’ll make an exception for Lauren
I bet all the books are about homeopathy and essential oils.
Did you know you can buy books with blank pages? You can even choose the severity of the discoloration and degree of mottling of the pages. Utter psychopaths.
Those are some of the best books. They can take a while to fill up, though.
Not journals, staging books.
I know someone who has beautiful 2 story bookshelves with a rolling ladder. The only real books I saw on their massive bookshelves? The hunger games and Harry Potter. So sad.
Which is honestly hilarious and sad, because you can basically just spend a weekend going to estate sales and get a phenomenal amount of gorgeous old books for less than what they probably paid for those fake ones. I’ve picked up so many cool turn of the century science/engineering books that are sometimes hilariously outdated, but they cost like a dollar or two at most, the majority being like 10/$1, and at the very least look really nice on the shelves if that’s all you care about.
I love reading. I read a lot. And I rarely open a paper book. So perhaps Lauren also has an e-reader, and keeps the books there because she inherited them. Or maybe she likes the smell of old books as it reminds her of her grandparents house where she used to spend her summers. Or it may be that she likes the feel of moving her fingers through all those pages. It brings back old memories of her librarian mother who passed away when she was just a child. Or…
The point being, why the hate? So here’s a different take. Perhaps Lauren has a good reason to have the books like that.
My daughter does this, has done since she was a little girl. Once, I asked her why - she just shrugged and said she preferred it that way, no specific reason.
Fair enough, I thought. Her books, her shelves, no one was getting harmed by it - and I moved on.
Why is everyone getting so butt hurt in this thread about it?
Only thing missing is a “live laugh love” sign
I must be stupid because I can’t even figure out what it means to stack books back to front.
You’re not stupid.
I think they mean with the spine facing the wall instead of outwards.
Barbarism.
