Yes, I do, and that is my fault. It occurs because I buy too many books and my book library competes for wall space with my wife's art collection and our daughter's photography. In addition, I need to devote some wall space to the handiwork of my grandchildren (oldest being 8 years). If they only realized how much more worthy my books are, I wouldn't have the problem.
When my wife saw my preorder list (ie, my spreadsheet showing the books I have already preordered and scheduled to arrive in 2021), she ordered 4 more bookshelves. But I fooled her -- I set up the bookshelves and put the books I had in piles on the floor on them. Unfortunately, that still leaves me with books in piles on the floor, books on top of cabinetry, and no bookshelves for the forthcoming preorders.
I guess the joke's on her -- she'll just have to buy more bookshelves
