I have well over 3000 books, (although I do donate a few hundred each year to the library for the book sale.)

The books are all neatly organized, in wonderful colorful bookcases (from Nadeau), throughout the house, in every room. They are a treasured part of the decor, and add to beauty, coziness and comfort in our home.
(Thankfully our whole family are bibliophiles, and we each appreciate the sheer joy of reading.)

The only books that are not in a bookcase, are the four books I have from the library, that I am currently reading this week:
"Wolf Hall" by Hilary Mantel, "The Forgotten Garden" by Kate Morton, "Boogaloo on 2nd Avenue" by Mark Kulansky and "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg.
I will be returning these library books next week for four or five more.

Like most of the book lovers here, I love the library, my Kindle, Barnes and Noble, and also frequent the smaller booksellers, as well. Everywhere I go there is always a book in my hand, and I always have several going at once. I could not imagine life without the appreciation of books and reading everyday!

I don't have any book shelves. On my desk I mainly have reference books and in a closet I have some fiction books of different kinds.

[My friend dolly used to give me all her mitford series books from jan karon and I love them I wish she would go back to writing more of the mitford series .]

I have her books, too. They're wonderful!

Sadly I lost several boxes of books a few years ago...someone accidentally threw them out during a move But I have been in the process of replacing them.

I have a lot of WWII books, many that my dad gave me. I have the Band of Brothers books; several written by men who were on the battleships at Pearl Harbor - the Oklahoma, California. Several biographies of Admirals, Halsey, Mitscher, just ordered Nimitz.

"Girls Like Us" - 3 in one bio of Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon

The Harry Potter and Hunger Games series'

"A Tree Grows in Brooklyn", my all-time favorite

"The Complete Sherlock Holmes"

The Abraham Lincoln books by Carl Sandburg

"The Mirror" by Marlys Millhiser

"Pioneer Women" by Joanna Stratton

I found the old Beverly Cleary/Anne Emery books...the 50's "malt shop" types....and Henry Huggins. I still have some of those from when I ordered them out of the Weekly Reader back in the '60s! .25 a book.

I have a lot of Christian study guides, concordance, commentaries - several Bibles. Josh McDowell's apologetic books. Stuff like that....

I'm at work, can't picture them all in my head :/
