I used to have my own library but had to get rid of them when I moved from Maine to Texas and then to Washington. So now I have only a few books and a lot of e-books on my iPad. I love books.

Latest Review: "30th Century: Escape" by Mark Kingston Levin

Post by cherryalakei »

I have a small bookcase in the living room which I keep some of my newer books which I am actively reading or want to read, along with my comics and cook books, but downstairs I have a artist studio with custom shelves for books and collectibles. I have a whole wall that is custom shelves, which houses my favorite books, among my art and history books and school textbooks and of course my degree and some collectibles (like my sweet hardback edition of Stan Lee's Romeo & Juliet: The War)

We do have plans to put in a larger bookshelf in our living room though, since my book collection keeps growing at an alarming rate lol

No, only a bookcase. I wish I could, but I can't find space in my house and I don't have enough time to make a library. If I could have one like Belle in Beauty and the Beast (a silly wish, I know), it would be a dream come true.

Not a library per se, but I do have one specific room that has all my books. It is in my den/family room downstairs but has the TV and the kid's play room too.

I have a small room in my basement that I turned into my library/study. I transferred most of my books down there and I have a small table and chair where I can sit and read or write if I want to. It's still a work in progress though. I'm in the middle of decorating it to fit my eccentric tastes.

Well, I have this book shelf in my room that has to two rows horizontally, and is just a few metres long in length. I regard that as my library. I'm not sure about the exact number of books therein, I speculate there's about a hundred or so.

No I don't. I have a shelf where I have kept my books and I read my books on my bed along with coffee. I don't think its very much necessary to have library, all you need is passion to read.

No, I do not have my own library, but I wish to. I could read any book I want at anytime I wish.

I am currently rebuilding my library. I am looking into a house with a basement where I can make half of it into a small library (just like the public ones, but not as big) then my husband can have the other half for his video games

I have a small library of books in my bedroom, and packed in boxes. I like to think that I will read all my books. I have trouble finding time to do so. Occasionally, I discover another book to put in my library, including another e-book for my Kindle. I do not know when I will ever read everything. I know that I love to have books around! Ignorance is a terrible thing.

My whole apartment feels like a library. I have as many bookshelves as I could fit. I always wanted to have a room just for books but my place isn’t big enough. Maybe someday.
