Hope you enjoy my original song about how many of us constantly reorganize our shelves!

Just so you know, I am playing my sister's guitar. As much as I like pink, it's not really my perfect guitar color. But my guitar is far away at school! 

Lyrics:
I organize my library 
by author alphabetically,
though rainbow can be aesthetically nice

I've also seen it done by size,
I guess it's quite nice on the eyes,
but finding a book, I'd have to think twice

By genre can be nice as well,
think I'm in bookshelf sorting hell,
but when it comes to books I am precise.

Knick knacks are an issue too,
I think I've got just one or two
My Harry Potter merch grows day by day

A bookish mug, a Funko! Pop,
you'd think I ran a trinket shop,
or maybe that I just got carried away

It's looking good, I cannot lie
You'd think that I'd be satisfied,
but I'll change it up tomorrow anyway

A therapeutic calm descends when I rearrange my bookends,
I simply can't describe the way it feels

The next day it will change again, the way it looks all depends
on how I feel that day and what appeals

Got my classics, got YA,
got sci-fi books and fantasy,
got ARCs and new releases piling up

I really like the way it looks,
I can't stop staring at my books,
but I know it will never be enough

I feel the itch, it's coming on
and even though there's nothing wrong...
Living the bookworm life is pretty tough
All this reorganizing's kinda rough
Gotta go so I can rearrange my stuff!

Thanks for watching!
