Because you are the only ones who can understand my joy!!
Shane finally bought me (and put together) a second bookshelf. While not all my books fit, you are able to see our coffee table
All sections are alphabetical by author.
First bookcase :
- borrowed / library / for review
- top of TBR
- Shane’s shelf — may have to claim this soon lol
Second bookcase :
1. favorite series
2 & 3. all other books (that would fit)
Is it odd that I feel a sense of peace knowing my books are safe in their new homes?






I can’t rest if I know my bookshelves are out of order. I’m completely in favor of you taking over Shane’s shelf. My husband doesn’t get a shelf, as his would look quite like your husbands and I would lose my mind.
@ Jennifer : Glad it’s not just me! Oh I probably will steal his shelf soon specially since the shelves are in our living room. But part of the deal with getting the Kindle was that my need to get more bookshelves would slow down lol.
LMAO! Shane’s little shelf looks so… so… what’s the word… cute! It matches my husbands!
My poor hubs. I had him build me a freaking library and my books are already spilling over to his little shelf! I need help!
@ Missie : Hahahaha I’ve decided I’ll need a library whenever we build a home. Getting an eReader has helped with the amount of books taking up space at least
Sweet! I want some new bookshelves. I have two 6 ft tall ones and they are overflowing. Currently my dining room table is housing the extras. I just can’t bare to part with any!
@ Cinnamon : wow 6ft! I have a feeling I’m going to need to invest in some bigger shelves at some point
I’ve given away some doubles or ones that I now have on my Kindle, but for the most part I also can’t part with them.
“Because you are the only ones who can understand my joy!!” LOL!
I felt the same way when I got a new bookcase a couple weeks ago. Hubby was just happy that all the books where now on shelves instead of cluttered all over the living room. But it felt so good to see all my books arranged nicely. Just looking at it makes me feel calm. Well, other than the packed-to-the-brim TBR shelf, which makes me feel slightly panicked!
Love your new shelves
@ Alita : My hubs is very excited that our living room no longer *looks* like a book hoarder lives here lol. Urgh I couldn’t believe how big my TBR and borrowed shelves are! At least now I can see what I need to get read?
Glad you got them off your coffee table I know that was driving you crazy.
I vote you take Shane’s shelf too boys don’t need shelves
@ Stacey : It was! Now I just need to clean off the clutter that had grown up around the books
I think I’m going to rearrange Shane’s shelf so that it holds our magazines (and maybe a few of my books….)
I have always felt really lucky that Richard shares my passion for books. He buys books just as fast (of not faster sometimes) as I do. Now though.. we are seriously running out of space. We are in dire need of new bookshelves too.
@ Rachel : You are lucky! I wish Shane could learn to love books as much as I do
However, I can’t imagine finding space for books for two bibliophiles!
Oh! You have Runemarks on your shelf! I loved Runemarks! It was a lot of fun…
@ Sarah : Unfortunately it had to be returned to the library before I could read it
I’ll just have to check it out again soon!
Looks like the same shelves I have! Thanks so much for sharing with us!
