Lanier, I've collected Grace Livingstone Hill's books from I was a teenager and have a shelf dedicated to them as well. Gretchen, I spotted a Bobbsey Twins mystery on you shelf that took me back to my childhood years. Thanks for sharing your treasures. I’m a book lover myself so I enjoyed peeking into your libraries.

I think one can come to know the person a little by their selection of books...or perhaps some of their interests anyway. It is nice to know that I am not the only one with that leaning tower of books on my desk! *smile* Can't wait to see everyone's book shelves. “One of my favorite things to do upon entering another’s home is to peruse the shelves.”

It has always been one of my favourite places to visit, as, after 18 years, I still haven't worked my way through all of their bookshelves! Our house is also full of books, but we haven't had as much time to collect them as they have! I think books give a house character. :) It was fun to see a reference to WIlliam Morris, who was born and spent his early years a few miles away from where I live! There is actually a museum devoted to his work there, though I've never visited. My grandparents’ house is FULL of books.

I've been discovered on my knees - for a closer look at books and bindings - in front of their bookcases and I've been known to put my head on one side - the better to read titles - over their cups of tea. I enjoy, so very much, looking at books and bookcases - they're a snapshot of a soul. I can't wait to see the "tour" of you ladies' bookshelves! :) When I go to friends’ houses, my eyes are instantly drawn to their bookcases.

A large family in a small house doesn't leave a lot of room for books, although we're all readers...some more bookwormish than others. But we LOVE the library. We are blessed to have access to two different county library systems. Every time I stop in the library, I take about twice as long as I intended too. It's just too fun to stroll the isles! I sometimes laugh too, because our shelves aren't actually filled with favorites. Well, we do have a favorites shelf with the Little House series, the Chronicles of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings and Little Women. But most of our book spaces are filled with books that looked interesting but we couldn't find in our local library. Many of them I'll probably never read again, but I don't have the heart to sell them. Because, someday, I just might have time on my hands and need a book from my own shelf! Sounds like my house!

]]> Comment on A Literary Desert Island by Mary http://ylcf.org/2010/03/a-literary-desert-island/comment-page-1/#comment-11017 Mary Tue, 16 Mar 2010 04:50:48 +0000 http://ylcf.org/?p=5287#comment-11017 The Rosary, by Florence Barclay The title sounds Catholic but it's actually after a popular song of the time period. The Rosary is a unique British love story with a Christian perspective and emphasis on the sacredness of marriage and the family. It was a best seller in Great Britain in 1910. I have reread it multiple times and own two copies, one for lending! It is unusual because the heroine is a very different character--she is almost thirty years old and plain, but she still has a lovely romance...such a good book! I recommend it to my friends and all of them so far have been hooked. The Rosary, by Florence Barclay

The answer: we are passionate about our local library! The books on our shelves are ones we could not borrow, as well as a few we read over and over. But, at any given time, you will find around ten glossy plastic-covered books resting on dressers, desks, and the dinner table! It is wonderful to be surrounded by books, whether you own them or borrow them. In my family, the library has been such a wonderful blessing to us; even when our purse is empty, worlds can open to us.

Come to think of it, the same is done with our both bedrooms and the home office. :) I had to laugh at my daughter when she called on her way home from a conference this weekend. Her opening words were, "I spent way too much money on books but it was worth it". That's my girl. Your den sounds exactly like what I’d love.

I have books everywhere and my collection seems to keep growing at an alarming rate. :) Stacks of books on tables, under tables...books stacked so high that they almost become tables. As we prepare to move to Georgia, I thought to pare down my collection to lighten the load, but I have found it impossible. Each book once read becomes a part of you and to discard one would be to discard a part of oneself, so a bigger moving truck much be ordered! lol Lanier, I do so envy your bookshelves.
