Now that we're all moved in and settled, you guys want a bookshelf tour?* Of course you do. Or if you don't, whatever, my blog. Here we go, bottom up
BUILT INS!
I'm not going to say we bought the house because of the built ins because that would be ridiculous. We also bought it for the fireplace.
But seriously, look at this thing. I can fit in it.
Anyway bookshelves. These built ins are in the basement and can you tell which side is mine? We agreed to split the shelves so Tom gets all his sports stuff down here and I get a selection of some of my favs.
Moving upstairs, we actually do have some more built ins on this floor, but so far they have not been taken over by books. Well, except for
Calvin and Hobbes but otherwise, it's pictures and mementos and Mets bobble heads and a brick** and
Nightmare Before Christmas music boxes. As you do.
But back to the books.
This is where the bulk of the books live. They are marginally organized. Shakespeare is mostly together. Horror (minus the Stephen King and a few other picks) are together. Vonnegut and Morrison are together and I don't really know why they always end up next to one another but they do. The rest of it might get organized at some point. Maybe.
This table behind the couch is not
technically a bookshelf but yeah, it's only a matter of time before it fills up.
Upstairs!
Our bookshelves/night tables. Tom's side (on the right) is random books that didn't end up somewhere else. His sports books all made their way downstairs, hence the lack of theme here. Oh also and there are random DVDs that ended up upstairs instead of with all of the other movies.
My shelf (left) includes my favs: Fforde, Bryson, Moore and then a few other key books.
There's shelf in the spare room and right now it's spillover. Which is sort of what the room itself is though we're working on cleaning that up. I don't have a picture of it cos I forgot to take one when I was upstairs and now I'm downstairs and, well, I think you see the problem.
So there you go. My bookshelves.
*Also I want to post something that isn't a review and this is what I came up with. Technically I wrote a draft post where the only thing in the post was "Bookshelf tour!" Thanks, past me, for the idea.
**If you are curious, the brick says "Trapped in a brick factory get help" and is a replica of the one at CitiField when they built the new stadium because every once in awhile I give great gifts.
