...On The Shelf
I took part in the 2015
A-Z April Blog Challenge
A-Z April Blog Challenge
I thought we could take a quick look at my bookshelves:
 |
| These two shelves are built into the wall of what was, in the 18th century the Parlour |
 |
| close up: up top books about Devon and the countryside down below our lottery Champagne wins! |
 |
| bit out of focus sorry - I'm too lazy to go back & take the photos again! |
Now to my study....
 |
| My books and reference books: |
very top shelf CD's
Left: my novels Right: horses in history side saddle
L: women in history 18th Century - R: pirates
L: King Arthur - R ships and shipping
L: Roman Britain - R Jacobites, 17th Century & History of London
 |
above the CD's.... between the speakers
all the BIG books
Left side ships and shipping Right side History
 |
| these are all the nautical novels mostly Parick O'Brian and James L Nelson |
nearer the camera Anglo Saxon England, Normans, Vikings, 1066
Far end... Behind my chair... dictionaries, Devon reference
(note how worn the dictionary is - I have to keep an elastic band round it.
Really must get a new copy!
I have novels upstairs in my bedroom and the spare room
and a few boxes in the attic of more reference books
Now for some unusual bookshelves
(not mine - I Googled for them)

Thank you for following!
Your books are so...organized! I try, really I do, but whenever I'm looking for a book I have to root around quite a bit. Love the naked bookshelves! LOL
ReplyDeleteThey're not really organized - it just looks that way! If I had them I'm not sure where I'd put the naked shelves LOL
DeleteI love those built-in shelves in your wall! Your 'traditional' bookshelves are way neater than mine (I need more to spread my ever expanding collection onto) but I can almost always lay my hand on the book I want without too much difficulty.
ReplyDeleteNaked bookshelves were ... be still my heart! LOL!
I treated myself to matching bookshelves in my study as the room is new built (it could be a conservatory in future years) I was going to make do with old stuff, but decided against - pleased I made that choice now
DeleteI love seeing other people's bookshelves. Mine are much messier and would need a good tidying-up to have their photos taken!
ReplyDeletewell I tidied up for the photos - and fortunately you can't see the dust! LOL
DeleteI've got you beat insofar as books on shelves. My poor husband had to literally build me a new office where I have over a thousand books! ;-) But I love your indented shelves....very nice! I enjoy learning new ways to put books somewhere, haha ;-) Even better? With those built in shelves? You won't see the dust collecting ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have a lot more books in boxes and I've given a lot to the local library as my sight isn't so good now and I can't read books with small print. As for dust.... what's that? (poor sight can be VERY useful! LOL)
