Totally Random

what?

...it was your idea

Looking at bookends, since I want to keep my IFX magazines available, but don't have enough boxes for them (plus they'd be easier to access on a shelf). I think it would be rather pointless to buy any bookends though, because they all seem to take up more room than the books, and I don't think I'll have any left over room in spite of moving at least half of my books into the basement...

Anyway, I rather liked the idea of this one (though I'd have liked to see a more "substantial" Yoda)

You'll definitely need something to hold them up cos magazines don't like standing vertically by themselves.
I have to squish them between two heavy hardback books.

Cool Yoda!

yeah I'll have plenty of squishing books. And then there are those... um... tidskriftsamlare... but all my old ones are kind of crappy so maybe I should get some new ones.

*pleads with Google for help*

Yes, those.

I'm not even sure what they're called in English. Maybe a binder, or slipcase, or something?

I think IFX might have used the term Binder...

Yes, I thought so. Then again, "binders" usually have some locking rings. And slipcases/covers are usually for sets of books. So perhaps we should stick with tidskrifft... thingy.

You can tell how boring quarantine is when you spend your time contemplating the categorization of stationery supplies.

the translation would be "magazine collector"

are you in quarantine? I think we're only limited to less than 500 people so far, but asked to not travel needlessly. I'm still worried about my move but hopefully it'll be considered a necessary thing, if the government decides on stricter rules. (And last time I went shopping there was actually not much toilet paper left!)
