Stephanie2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I have a bookcase full of books, two storage boxes and piles around my room. My to be read list is amazingly long! Quote
Nellie Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Due to the fact that I was overrunning our house with books, we turned one of our spare rooms into a library. We bought some nice bookcases from Ikea which have doors on them. Non-fiction books are ordered by subject, and then fiction alphabeticall. Yep, I am anal about my books, but to be fair I have about 3000 so if I don't put them in some order, I'll never find anything! Quote
KW Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Book shelves get the keepers. Under bed storage and storage rooms get the OTHER keepers, lol. Quote
qoquaq Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Like someone else said..On my bedside cabinet..they do'nt belong to me,they belong to the local library..but my 'can't give up books' are in a special storage next to the bed. Robin Quote
bookwormmum Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 We have three bookcases in the spare room and I have a little pile of library books my the side of the computer desk. Quote
Chimera Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 A bit everywhere: on my bedside table, desk, chairs, the floor ... and sometimes on shelves *laughs* Quote
Kylie Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 At the moment they are stacked on a bookshelf & in piles around my livingroom while I try to find the bolt thingies I need to put my other bookcase together. I think I have a spare one lying around from when my Dad put mine together. I'd offer to send it to you, but you'll probably find your own by the time mine gets there! we turned one of our spare rooms into a library. Me too! We bought some nice bookcases from Ikea Me too! which have doors on them. No doors for me...I couldn't be bothered with the extra expense. Now that I have the room, I've been able to sort my fiction books alphabetically by author. I have my non-fiction books separate, and they're grouped by subject (mostly), and then sorted alphabetically (or not, in some cases). Quote
Nellie Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 LOL Kylie! Great minds think a like! Here are some of mine... Notice the empty shelves?.... They're not quite so empty now.... Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 LOL Kylie! Great minds think a like! Here are some of mine... Notice the empty shelves?.... They're not quite so empty now.... Wow, I'm jealous. This looks great I love the bookcases. I need to get a room that can be turned into a library. Quote
Ceinwenn Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Wow, I'm jealous. This looks great I love the bookcases. I need to get a room that can be turned into a library. Here here! What I wouln't give for my own place so that I could turn a spare room into a library! Quote
Inver Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Here here! What I wouln't give for my own place so that I could turn a spare room into a library! Have our house but no spare room:blush: Quote
Raven Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 On book shelves, on the floor, in stacks on my bedside table, in cardboard boxes in cupboards and one solitary book of quotations next to the toilet (for when I really need inspiration!). Quote
Weave Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 At the moment, in various different places, we are running out room! Quote
Icecream Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Have our house but no spare room:blush: We have plenty of spare rooms but they are either undecorated (like the room that is perfect for a library), or full junk. Quote
Kylie Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 LOL Kylie! Great minds think a like! Here are some of mine... Notice the empty shelves?.... They're not quite so empty now.... Beautiful! I posted a link to a pic of my bookshelves on my blog a little while ago. Not sure if you saw it but here's the link. I crammed in an extra couple of bookshelves on the two large bookcases so I could fit more books. Quote
Nellie Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 oooh! So pretty! Looks like the same bookcases I have. Isn't there somthing very beautiful about all those books together? Quote
whitegold Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 My parents have books all around the house but my collection is in my bedroom on shelves and in piles. I REALLY need to get a bigger book shelf. Quote
Suburbanite Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 In a large, unorganised pile near my office desk. When I get a moment, I pick one at random and start reading. I'm currently wading through about five different stories. Quote
Ravenwood Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 In my bag, beside my bed, on the arm of the sofa, on the table.... and stacked two deep on the shelves lining the walls of the kids' playroom: I so envy that library Nellie! Quote
lexi Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 under the bed, on the desk, on the shelves, in the closet, on the closet, at my grandma's house, at my friends well, I very often borrow books, so even I do not know where all of them are Quote
Elizabeth Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 I have one big bookshelf that my books go on, and then a smaller one that is unfortunately falling apart. But they still don't hold all of my books. I have a little metal shelf that holds yet some more books. We also have plastic bins under my mother's and my beds where we store books. And lastly, the rest of the books are just strewn across the house in different places. Quote
Peacefield Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Some are on a fancy book shelf in my living room, which I reserve only for hard-covers and big coffee table books. The rest are on 3 big bookshelves in my bedroom, 2 small bookshelves in my bedroom closet and on top of and in the drawer of my nightstand. Quote
carm Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Some are on my headboard, others are scattered through my bedroom and there are others in my shed Quote
wordsgood Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 Um....How does every room in my house grab ya? Quote
