Shelfies

Because of the title of my new blog, I thought it appropriate to post some shelfies!

I try not to let my shelves get too disheveled, but it does happen. Having a toddler who loves books makes it a challenge – at least for the shelves within her reach!

I took these photos without adjusting anything except to remove family photos for privacy.

Main bookshelf

I’ve read probably 75% of the titles on this shelf (from Target). It includes some Christian selections, leadership books, classics, memoirs and autobiographies, textbooks, yearbooks, and paperwork. The stack of books on the floor to the right of the bookshelf is my haul from our recent local library sale.

Office bookshelf

I’ve only read a handful (probably less than 25%) of these. This is another shelf (also from Target) with a little bit of everything as far as genres are concerned.

Guest bedroom

I figured guests may appreciate one or more of the following: a copy of the New Testament and Psalms, A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson, and a collection of The Best Poems of the English Language. The colors of these books also match the green theme of the room!

Nightstand

There is a reason I am only showing the bottom half of my nightstand. The top is cluttered beyond belief and only keeps my current reads, which you can see in the Goodreads sidebar of this site. The bottom shelf is books I keep meaning to read sooner than later, but I’ve put them off for way too long (with the exception of Captivating and The Five Love Languages, which I’ve already read).

TV stand

I have some matching classics on my TV stand for decorative purposes, but I do plan on reading them someday. Jane Eyre is askew thanks to my daughter!

Daughter’s bookshelves

I love the Ikea shelves (also known as spice racks) that we put up in my daughter’s room. She has tons more books, but it’s fun to see some select bright, fun titles when you walk into the room. The bin below the shelves (under the pink sheep) mostly holds books she isn’t ready for yet, including books that once belonged to me and her grandmother!
