I cleared the shelves.
Beginning to sort, I found each title endeared. Ones I’d finished or read more than once – and ones I’d dog-eared where I’d quit on them. These were the ones I owned finish to.
Within minutes, distracted by a bookmark, I restarted one, as if paying down on a debt.
The rest rested on the floor.
My little project would take some time.

I like that post. I know that feeling well- trying to organize, but getting distracted by an interesting book.
