I’m really excited about this topic today because I don’t usually participate in any of the weekly memes about what I got or bought etc. Therefore, this is one of few picture posts of:
My Bookshelf Tour!
Okay friends. So, here are some very ridiculous and telling photos of my bookshelf. Be warned: it is not pretty.
Okay, I lied. They are totally pretty!
I have most of my READ books on my shelves. These books are the ones I want to keep, display and read over and over again. These are my favorites.
Close up! – some YA
Close ups! – my paranormal romance area
Close up! – More YA!
Close up- Adult Fiction
Yes, Oooh and Ahhs. I know.
And now, I show you my PILES OF SHAME!
These are books that I bought, have every intention of reading, but have not gotten around to reading yet. I’m focusing on them a lot more this year than ever, mostly because my poor husband wants to see our floors and has been scared many times in the night when a pile of books have falled aka BookQuake!
Yes, my friends. It is shameful. I have gotten through a few recently, so I’m feeling hopeful that I can focus on some of these in the near future, once I get the review copies under more control. But remember, the quicker I get through them, the more giveaways I will have!
And honestly, I really do love books. I like having them around, even if I haven’t read them. I like sorting through the stacks, finding the right one that fit my mood or opening them up and seeing signatures or remembering the event when I got them.
There you have it!
And be sure to stop by The Reader’s Antidote, Nite Lite and Books Unbound for their lovely bookshelves! Happy Reading!
No shame! I live the piles though I do not want to be near them in the event of an actual earthquake. And man do those shelves look good. The people who put them together must be pros. 🙂
🙂 Those people that put together my shelves are seriously professionals. I hear they put them together twice, just for the fun of it!
The books are just so pretty. Now if only I could focus on only them for a while and not just on kindle!
Your book cases are gorgeous! And your pile of shame looks very similar to my own. 🙂 Book buying is impossible to stop, isn’t it?
It is!… and really, why would we want to?? 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
So many books!!! You have an awesome collection and some of my favorites as well.
I’m so glad to hear that Lenore! Thanks for commenting!
