The Arrangment Book Novels & Stories

It had been delivered to my address. I opened it. Children's books. A full box of them, organized with a precision that was immediately recognizable as his, arranged alphabetically by title, which meant he had thought about the ordering before he placed the order, which meant this had been planned for longer than last night. I looked at the stack.

The perfection of the scene was suffocating, but that was why I quickly noticed something out of place. They had a shelf of books here in the living room, and the book seemed to be arranged by colour rather than alphabetically. The colours were also ordered in shades, from darkest to lightest on the shelf. So the dark red book between books of lighter red, stood out like a sore thumb. Looking around only once, I stood up to investigate. When I pulled it out, I saw it was a book on pack history, unsurprisingly. But when I moved to put it back, I noticed the black button tucked behind the neatly arranged spines.

The photograph that is the first thing you see when you enter the room, that is positioned at eye level, that catches the light in the afternoon. The books in Vivienne's arrangement. Vivienne had been Alexander's assistant, had known Dom, had understood something about the way grief needed to be organized. She had arranged the books not by author or title but by association—the books Dom had loved on one shelf, the books that had been important to Alexander during the years of his brother's illness on another, the books that had arrived in the years since, sent by people who didn't know what else to send. The arrangement had not been touched since Vivienne had made it. It was not a museum di

The arrangement is the visible trying. ---

He was staring down at a heavy notebook and he turned it towards me when I came forth. “This is the record of how all the books here are arranged. It’s stored Alphabetically by way of the author in shelves labeled according to Genre.” I didn’t look at the book. I stared instead at him. Initial giddiness aside, I was not a guest here. I was a slave. A low-ranking one at that. Why was I here, so far away from the Harem being shown this incredible library? “Write down any book you wish to borrow down in here. Just make sure you return them to where they need to be once you’re done.”

"Or something did. The reference section used to be arranged by subject matter. Now it's arranged by — I'm not sure what. The principle seems to be correct but the system isn't written down anywhere I can find." "It reorganized last week," Clara said. "The wards that maintain the cataloguing system had been running on a disrupted signal for a long time. When the disruption cleared, they returned to the original arrangement." She paused. "The original arrangement is by the age of the magical tradition each text belongs to, oldest first. The subject-matter cross-indexing is in the catalogue on the librarian's desk." Lysa looked at the catalogue she apparently hadn't noticed. Then she looked at

You never seem to stop amazing me", he frowned, very confused. "I was bored and I couldn't watch TV so I'm just rearranging the books". "How?". "I feel the cover of the book, I'm arranging them by colors". He looks at the arranged shelf and there, the books were arranged by colors. "How can you feel colors?". "Honestly, I don't know how to explain. I can just do it". "Yeeaaahhh", he looks at her skeptically. "Honestly i think you're pretending to be blind. it's one thing to be able to feel things but it's another to feel with colors".

The books were similar in sizes, and has no unbalanced pattern. "Here!" Nathan shouted. "Shelf No. 21..?!" he frowned. I felt the disappointment in his voice. But why? "Does the arrangements of the Shelves were—" Ella was a bit shocked, covering her mouth. "They were arranged randomly!!" Aaron concluded, and panicked. He rapidly thrown all of the books in his chosen shelf just to find the Encyclopedia! "Oh, here!" Trixie gladly shouted. She was jumping in joy! "Encyclopedia No. 13, right?" she smiled.

And that alone answered his question. “Mom.” “What?” “You’re hiding something.” “I am not.” “Whenever you say that, you usually are.” That made her smile because she knew he was right. Elena folded her hands in her lap. “The people I told you about. Evelyn Sinclair and her daughter, Serena. We arranged a dinner already.” Callum stared at her for a moment. “You planned this without asking me?” “I knew you would say no.” “That should have been your first sign not to do it.”

I had just finished mopping the kitchen floor, when my cell phone rang. Trying to swipe the answer button with wet hands, I then kept it on speaker and spoke," hello?" Honestly at first I didn't know whose number it was. Cause I didn't had anyone's number. Our marriage was arranged indeed, and it was also all of a sudden marriage. Like one day Tariq's parents came to see me and the next day it was my nikkah. I did knew Tariq as Akka's friend from college but other than that I didn't know anything.
