PersonalLibrary

Today‘s move went rather well. The movers got all my heavy items (piano, bookshelves) moved with relative ease. The boyfriend decided that I should have my own library/reading room. Still have more books to bring over, and need to hang my literary pictures, but the library room is coming along. #personallibrary

Chrissyreadit Your shelves look great! 3y

Skygoddess1 @Chrissyreadit Thanks! It‘ll be nice once everything is complete to retreat there for some peace, quiet and good reading 3y

erzascarletbookgasm Looking good 👍😊 3y

The Wife Upstairs: A Novel | Rachel Hawkins

One of my goals this year was to read more books I already own instead of checking out books from work (the library). Part of that is to get through the frankly, staggering, number of Book of the Month Books I have but haven't read. So I'm bringing back my #BOTM Bingo to try to knock some of these out. It's not a true bingo card, but I'm also making up the rules as I go along, so who cares? :D

This is just an incredibly small portion of my personal library that I still need to read 😬 I love books and I love buying them...oops! I am slowly getting through the list...with studying, my personal reading has slowed down 😞 Also, please excuse my terrible crocheting!

JohannaRose I soo wish I had a little library! I‘m slowly acquiring books as I go lol it‘s a process! I wish they weren‘t so expensive! And your crocheting is beautiful! 😊 6y

MirandaLeighBee @JohannaRose thank you :) I wish I could say this was all I had to read...but that‘s not the case...I have a lot lol 6y

MirandaLeighBee @JohannaRose also, one of my fave things to do is browse the book section at thrift stores...it‘s where I get a lot of my books actually 6y

JohannaRose @MirandaLeighBee Oh that‘s such a good idea! Thank you! 😃 6y

I Murdered My Library | Linda Grant

Grant moves from a four-story home to a two bedroom flat. This novella about picking which books will make the move was a quick and easy read. Many of us move and unfortunately can‘t take all of our books with us. Definitely a relatable problem.

CollapsingLibrary Recently had to make some of the same choices moving across the country in just my car! Thankfully my parents are keeping some of the books I couldn‘t bring with me until I get a chance to return and pick them up! 6y

SW-T @hjreviews 😊😊😊 6y

ShyBookOwl What a unique concept! 6y

Packing My Library: An Elegy and Ten Digressions | Alberto Manguel

pick

“The imaginary reality of books contaminates every aspect of our life.” So true! How often do you find your mind drifting to the characters in a book while going about your day? Their imaginary reality really does stick with you even when you‘re not actively reading. An insightful and thoughtful read about moving a personal library of 35,000 volumes from France to Manhattan.

Weaponxgirl Yes! If I‘m not careful it can affect my mood too if I read too many dark and deep books (probably my favourite type of reading) 6y

Thich Nhat Hanh: Essential Writings | Thich Nhat Hanh

I get to sleep in the library when I visit my sister so that means I get to browse all night. Book families are best families.

Eggs How nice 💕 I know that comfy cosy feeling--I get to sleep in my sister's library too when I visit her! I guess that's one of the top reasons I love to visit her 😊 7y

SkeletonKey @Eggs - It's so nice! Hope you get to visit soon 💜 7y

DivineDiana I want a Library where guests can sleep!😊 7y

SkeletonKey @DivineDiana - It's a wonderful luxury, hah. 7y

Library | Sarah Stewart

Hi friends! Do any of you have recommendations for personal library apps? I am going to do a major personal library overhaul next weekend and I love the idea of an electronic library. I have libib, but I'm not sure how good it is/what else is out there? 🤔 #library #organization #personallibrary #recommendation #litsyhelp

TobeyTheScavengerMonk I've got no suggestion, so I'll be watching this space as well! 7y

LauraBrook I use LibraryThing, but I do all of my adding on my home computer. The app they have lets me search my library, which comes in handy when I'm book shopping. 7y

Jabberwocky @LauraBrook so are you unable to add from the app or do you just prefer to only add from your home computer. 7y

drokka I use Collectrz app in conjunction with my laptop, but they aren't free. 7y

LauraBrook @Jaberwocky I just checked, and you can add on the app, you scan barcodes. I honestly never looked at that before - duh, Laura! 🤦🏻‍♀️ 7y

Jabberwocky @LauraBrook at least you know now? 🙃 7y

Jabberwocky @drokka Hmmm free is my budget 🤔🤔 7y

Guys. My bookshelves are out of control. Again. Why do those little DVD shelves have to be too small for books?? And when did my BF stick those chips in there? #shelfie #bookshelves #personallibrary

julesG I love this. A bit of clutter makes it cozier. 7y

huntersmom1977 Anna, are these your own book shelves? If so, WOW!! This is how I picture my own personal library 7y

annahenke @huntersmom1977 Yes, they are! 😊 7y

annahenke @julesG that's true!! 7y

Lreads Those DVD shelves look adjustable. Just saying . . . 🤔 7y

I-read-and-eat I love a messy bookcase! A bit of clutter means it's well used and well loved 😀 7y

abbsinwonderland My boyfriend has promised me a new five/six tier bookshelf. It'll be my first one. I have like eight three tier ones and we legit have absolutely no room anywhere. 🙃🤓 7y

erzascarletbookgasm Nah, it's not out of control..you haven't seen mine! 😄Looks fine to me. Maybe with a bit of straightening and adjusting, can fit in more books! 😉 7y

Usagi You could stack the books side ways in those little cubbies (temporarily)? 7y

Grim_Reader Perfection 😍 7y

Gina Oh my gosh! Grab a book n a bag of chips in one swipe. Genius🙆 7y

Richryan52 @annahenke I would love for you to read one of my books 7y
