I think I'm old...(I am) but I'm amazed at how complex board games are compared  to what I grew up playing, even Dark Tower was less.

I think you missed scoring the goblet, so you did better than you thought.  I think if you had stuck with the cat toy you could have scored even better. Cute game. I second the book-ends idea.  Knick-knacks should go on the left and the bookend card should sit on the shelf covering the front cover of the rightmost book (with the plant or cat on top of it).

You're amazing Paula!!

You're in the official kickstarter video playing!

31:04 From the KS, it looks like you can shelve in between books, not just at the front or end of the shelf. Your books just have to stay together as they come from your hand and are placed on the shelf.

This was a fun playthrough. Unfortunately, because of the latest PTRWRB series "Barbed Wire Lullabies", I cannot unhear Paula introducing her with "I'm on my period!"
