Finally!

This was supposed to be posted a week ago, but I've been super lazy since I've been sick. Here it finally is though. This weekend, my man put my bookshelf together, and I put some of my books away in it. Here are the products of my addiction:

This was the Empty Space in my Office that prompted me to "need" a new bookshelf.

And those are all the homeless books that needed shelter. 

These are my Paperback Fiction Books.

This is what my new bookshelf looked like before assembly.

(I unfortunately forgot to take pictures of all the pieces, as well as the progress of my man's handiwork, 

so this will have to do.)

I also forgot to take a picture of what the shelf looked like sans books. Oh well.

But here's what it looks like with all my books in it! Yay! 

Isn't it pretty!?!? 

(That's a Cinnamon Cherry finish bookshelf from Canadian Tire.)

If it looks kind of weird, it's because I had to lean it against the frame of my closet because my house is old and the floor is a little crooked in that corner. Let's call it my home's little "quirks."

These are the top two shelves.

They contain some of my favourite fiction books ever (so far).

These are the bottom shelves, full of some of my other favourite fiction books!

(Honestly, I think all my books are my favourites.)

So YAY for new bookshelves. To celebrate, I went out and bought about a dozen books to help fill up some of the "empty spaces." I'll no doubt be filling ALL the spaces of all my shelves soon enough, and will then need yet another new bookshelf. Or a bigger house. We'll see.

The Space for Books

Today, in celebration of my new bookshelf (yep, my boyfriend has given in and decided to support my book addiction: he bought me a new bookshelf for my birthday - which is over a month away haha), I have decided to post pictures of my current bookshelves. I literally have books in every single room of my house. Just for fun, 'cause you know, I like books and stuff. So here we go:

In my Office:

This is my Classics and Antique Books shelf.

Bookshelf is made of wood, with Espresso finish.

Linguistics books, Writing Craft Books, Anthologies, Special Interest, and School Notebooks.

 Bookshelf is fairly cheap (from Wal-Mart), but surprisingly sturdy.

Because I'm still studying in Uni, here are my current School Books:

Shakespeare Studies, Renaissance Literature, Medieval Literature.

Oh, and several Dictionaries, Grammar books, and MLA Form and Format.

In my Reading Room:

 Small bookshelf of 

Children's Literature and Personal Writing Notebooks.

Poetry, poetry, and more poetry.

Fiction and Non-Fiction Mass Market Paperbacks.

In my Living Room:

Biographies, Hardcover Fiction, Arts and Travel Books, and Non-Fiction Shelf.

Along with a close-up so that you can observe my cat Ginny sleeping on top of the bookshelf (that's HER spot), as well as my special owl Sheldon (named after my favourite character from The Big Bang Theory).

 In my Entryway/Hallway:

Anthologies and Collections of Short Fiction.

As you can see, there is still space here for me to buy more books! YAY!

And here is the reason my boyfriend bought me a new bookshelf:

An empty space in my office, along with a large collection of Contemporary Fiction books 

that need a place to sleep.

(The books you see are just a fraction of that particular collection. It's getting out of hand!)

So now, I have the lovely task of putting together my new shelf, and tomorrow or Friday, I will post pics of the end product, along with commentary and pics of my Contemporary Collection. Wish my luck everyone; I am not the greatest handywoman.
