How big is your bookshelves?
Being that every book I read I write a review of it on my blog. I may have only started back in August but I'm close to having about 1000 views from people coming on to read what I've posted on it.
With so many books out there to read I will probably never get all I want to read. But, its one book at a time.

I'm in negotiations with my 'resident handyman' trying to convince him to give me a full wall of bookshelves in the lounge in return for getting rid of the freestanding units & the plastic containers. Negotiations are at a delicate stage & progress is slow.

I now keep all of my books on my nookcolor. It saves me so much space!

The books date from early 1920's to 21st century and cover a wide range of genres and subjects from average to academic. They arrived from diverse sources like book fairs, for various reasons like hobbies. Their content is well known and they are frequently referred to during discussions. If any age group walked in, they would be able to find suitable reading material.
Why not donate to a literacy project - a book stored in a box is such a cheerless thing.

Good idea but i imagine books on serial killers and graphic gore-filled stories wouldnt be the most suitable material for such a project!Maud Fitch wrote:There are bookshelves in almost every room in our house, literature of all shapes and all sizes and an e-Reader sits atop a stack of magazine.

In the attic .... I could never do that.

No they have to stay where I can see them & run my hand along the spines as I pass through the room ... and stop for a chat while doing the dusting.
I know ... I probably do need treatment

No you donl't need treatment, I am exactly the same, I have to read next to all my other books I dust them and talk to them, let them out of the shelf for a little run around. Hang on a minute, I think I need treatment.Fran wrote:In the attic .... I could never do that.
