My bookshelf link-up

[birdienl]

Multiple people on the blogs I follow have been doing this link-up in the last few day: What's on your bookshelf? by Modern Mrs. Darcy
Now I dearly love to read books, but I also like to look at them, so I love these kind of things!



This is my single bookcase. As you can see, it's getting rather full. Might be time for a second one in not too long a time!

The top shelf is reserved for the Classics: Tolkien, Austen, Dickens etc. I love my 7-part Lord of the Rings set, the separate volumes have a perfect reading size!


On this second shelf are my works of Christian fiction and some of the general ones. There are a few books on this shelf I've not yet read: I was Alice by Melanie Benjamin and Call the Midwife by Jennifer Worth (the book on which the popular BBC series was based!)


The third shelf contains the rest of my works of fiction, including my collection of Jasper Fforde's! (Plus some autumn material from the forest!)


This shelf contains some children's books, gift books and my collection of inspirational non-fictional works.


The bottom shelf has the rest of my non-fictional work; some travel guides, a number of my study books and works on interesting historical subjects.

Hope you enjoyed this look into my book collection! Will you be participating in this link-up as well?

Lovely! I love to look at books too. Whenever I'm over at someone's house, I HAVE to study their bookshelves minutely. :-) I don't think I've ever seen a seven-part LOTR set!

I love it when bookshelves are overflowing with books! Wonderful!

I love seeing things like this. My bookshelf broke awhile back so books are kind of "where I can fit them" now.

Oh, fabulous! I'm so nosy, I love getting to see other people's books! You've got a lovely collection!!

Handig, zo'n 7-delige LotR :) Al zijn de pockets (dus 3 delen) ook nog wel hanteerbaar :P

Ik ben op het moment wel een beetje bezig om mijn boekenkasten op te ruimen. Heb er 3 in mijn kamer, 1 bij mijn ouders en nog wat kinderboeken in de opslag. Ik heb wel alles ingevoerd in Librarything, dus als ik iets zoek weet ik wel waar het boek ligt, dus ik hoef niet al mijn kasten door om te kijken welke delen van een serie (bijvoorbeeld) ik allemaal heb, aangezien ik dat dus in mijn database kan opzoeken :)

Oh yes, I feel exactly the same. You can learn so much from how a person's bookshelves look! And you already have conversation starters!

Yes, two parts for each part of the trilogy and the appendices in an extra part.

Overflowing, hehe, it's getting to that stage indeed!

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Oh no, they broke away! Did you store to much books on them ;-)

Thank you!

Jij hebt gewoon je eigen bibliotheeksysteem zo langzamerhand!

[moonreviews]

Ja :) Ik vind het wel handig, zeker omdat ik mijn boeken nog op verschillende locaties heb staan. En als ik in een boekwinkel sta en ik weet niet helemaal zeker of ik bepaalde delen van een serie heb, kan ik het ook snel opzoeken.
Maar ik ga toch nog wel naar de gewone bibliotheek, want ik wil niet alle boeken kopen :P Alleen boeken die ik echt vaker dan 2 keer wil lezen.

Pretty much,it was not great quality and some of my big hardcovers was too much for it lol.
