Behind her alphabetized set of encyclopedias (which are the only books her parents approve of her owning). You know she's reading something rediculous sounding like "The Cowboy's Nerdy Sweetheart" under the covers with a flashlight at night, dreaming of the day that totally hot guy from chem class realizes she's the one...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441163674584452295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214193336996953667.post-59268179502338062282011-07-28T13:21:24.574-07:002011-07-28T13:21:24.574-07:00Jessi just describes them as "alphabetized&qu...Jessi just describes them as "alphabetized" but I'm assuming it's alphabetized by author or subject, or author within subject like I do it (e.g.; fiction by author, field guides by author, religion books by author). I also think it's funny that Jessi's surprised that Janine is organized.SJSiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00996362396265436534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214193336996953667.post-32275069491709874272011-07-28T10:01:34.849-07:002011-07-28T10:01:34.849-07:00You guys, Janine keeps her books alphabetized.

Alphabetization isn't the most useful way to organize nonfiction. At home, my children's fiction section, YA fiction section, and adult fiction section are alphabetized by author, but my nonfiction is organized by subject. I haven't gone as far as putting them all in strict Dewey or LC order, but that's mainly because of issues of space and proportion. For instance, my 746.432 section would be enormous.wanderingfrognoreply@blogger.com
