#31bookpics @howjessreads

Prompt: Shelves

2 of 4 tall shelves also have a short bookcase for under the window. Still have books stacked on my night stand and on my desk.

Velvetfur So organised and tidy! 😍 6y

I am running out of room. I have 4 bookcases and only one shelf left. I also have 4 stacks of books (pic on right) waiting to be catalogued and filled away. I also have two more stacks on my night stand. There is no way they will all make it. What am I going to do!? Hubby suggested a culling. 😱😡

CatLass007 Nooooo! 6y
ManyWordsLater I spy some room on top of the shelves.... 📚📚📚 6y
LazyDays Oh no! Agree👆👆👆 6y

Reviewsbylola I‘m out of room too. But like @ManyWordsLater suggested, I stack on top of the bookshelf too. 6y
TheSpineView Yes but it is a last resort. I am a bit OCD and prefer shelves. Maybe I will move the nonfiction on top. @ManyWordsLater @Reviewsbylola 6y
jb72 I stack my small paperbacks two deep. I ran out of room a long time ago. I‘m gonna need more shelves soon. 6y
TheSpineView @jb72 Good idea! 6y

I really should be reading, instead I am going to try and catch up on photo challenges.
Here is my #shelfie for #spookyoctober . Sadly these are all the physical books I have left now. :-/ I used to have so many.

#aprilbookshowers Day 24 - #shelfie

It's nice to finally live in a place where I have room for bookshelves. 😊📚 My books used to be stored in boxes and piles in closets.

ValerieAndBooks Nice 📚😍! 8y

#TBRtemptation post 9! From the 5-time acclaimed author comes a memoir for those who love bookstores & have fondness for a particular one. While recovering from radiation therapy, she volunteered at a bookstore to help customers find the books they needed. She lived & breathed books through all occasions for a year. She also talks about growing up with books, the Bookmobile, & the hundreds of bookstores she's visited. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

ValerieAndBooks Blaming you yet again 😊!! 8y
TheCanuckReader Are you trying to kill us??? How can I resist all of these books about books? 😂 8y
MrBook @ValerieAndBooks ☺️👏🏻 I take full responsibility 😆. @TheCanuckReader And there's lots more of them to come 😎🙈! 8y

My #shelfie for #riotgrams Day 1. I have floor to ceiling shelves on 3 walls of my library, so this is just a small slice. Note the shelf of witchy stuff for full moon rituals 🌕, and the quote cards in bottom left. If I panned down from the cards we'd see my writing desk. I cycle through quotes that inspire me & make me laugh. @bookriot @Liberty

Thing is, if we have to do something other than what we're meant to do creative-wise, isn't it wonderful that our other jobs can almost be like hobbies? I play with the coining: Hobbs? Jobbies? Hork? Wobbies? #lifegoal
