Headlines "Farewell, Mister Bananeopian" by precious_katuch14 The rain was pouring in grey sheets outside our living room window. Loisse and I had already made plans to visit the new Kadoatie café downtown, but they were washed away like fallen leaves swept away into the gutter. Still, we wanted to do more than just huddle together in blankets reading on our couch, so we were on the floor sorting through our book collections.
The apartment I shared with Loisse was not big enough for a library – unless we crammed ourselves into one bedroom and put all our books in the other – so we turned the living room into a library. We found space on the floor and on the walls for shelves, but eventually, the books started covering the tiny coffee table, showing up under the couch, and adorning our dining table as unexpected centrepieces. We knew we had to start figuring out which books to keep, and which books should be rehomed.
“The hardcover edition of Cookie Jar Princesses!” Loisse exclaimed as I held up a thick graphic novel with a Female Royal Shoyru and a Female Royal Kacheek peeking out from a cookie jar on the cover. “Don’t tell me you’re getting rid of that, Andler!”
“After Clive Stables sold it to me at a bargain? No way,” I replied, putting it into the box on the coffee table, with the other books that were strictly in the “keep” category. The box next to me, which was for books that didn’t make the “keep” cut, was bare except for a few books I was certain I wouldn’t need to read again.
