We had an interesting discussion today, in the library where
I work. One of our student assistants made the comment that he could tell a lot
about a person by looking at their bookshelves. Interesting observation, I'd
say.
From my shelves you could probably tell that I was a
children's librarian for twelve years. I have several autographed picture
books. On a lower shelf you'd find writing books, nature identification books and
several Bibles. On some other shelves—yes I have more than one book case—you'd
find poetry books, craft books, and some select fiction. And then there's the
shelf with a few vintage beauties. I've collected books for years. I've passed
some along to library sales, friends, and family. And I typically give books
for gifts, because who doesn't love good books. Then there are the ones I
receive in exchange for a fair review. I've found a way to feed my passion without
paying big bucks! Thank goodness.
Now tell me, what would I find on your bookshelf? Mysteries?
Sci-Fi? Inspirational books? How-to books? I'd love to know!
Penny, what a delightful post. A shelf full of books gives a room a lovely ambiance. I have to confess I have all of the above. Our family homeschooled, so we collected a huge stack of classics and children's books, plus what we already had. I still pick up children's books at the thrift store if I come across a particularly lovely one. I love inspirational memoir and romantic cozy mysteries the best.

We do have a lot in common. I enjoy a good cozy mystery, too. Thanks for sharing, Wendy.
