I love books. I collect books. I have about 15 full shelves of them. Haven’t counted them in a while. But I’d say I’ve read, maybe, 70% of them. And no, I will never replace them with an e-reader! Sacrelig!
So, in case you were wondering what’s on my book shelf, well, I can’t show them all at once – way too many – so I’ve decided to make a series of posts for your curiosity to revel in. These posts are not in the actual order of my shelves, or in order of preference, they just happen to be what I’ve taken a photo of today :o)
