All I've ever wanted was a room just for books in my house. Half of the books are my boyfriend's. I was lucky enough to find a man who loves reading as much as I do.
Gordhead
I'm glad you have 'Dune' in there

Long live the fighters!

Wow, I gave up on my dreams before I even hit 30.
didnotouchyou
Never give up, never surrender! Or something like that.
krioc
I had a weakness for those leatherbound Barnes & Nobles collector's editions, too. I think I have 20. They live in a drawer.
Drakhma
i have that starwars book in the last pic.

#1. Oooh, cozy bookshelf. #2 ... It's bigger than I thought. All the rest: THERE'S MORE? And the romance under the window-haha.

John Saul!!!! Woop woop!!!

Fun fact - in olden times, they used to call a room for books the 'library'. Homeless men surfing for porn were optional upgrades.
didnotouchyou
Haha yeah...I've always had a library, it might a been small, but its never had its own room.
splooshforArcher
I bought my dream bookcase and I have the perfect comfy chair picked out for my library. Just need to finish the renos the set it up.
dientesdelperro
you need more shelves so you don’t have to have horizontal stacking :(
comalle
This is my husband's and my dream too, waiting for a house to fulfill it. We have over 30 boxes of books in storage waiting to be freed...
didnotouchyou
Been there when we finally unpacked books the boxes completely filled our foyer. May they be freed soon.
NeneJPhilly
I’m so jealous! You should see my bedroom (I don’t live alone); it’s filled with books. I want a library. BTW: Rafe IS the best.
SpookyPillows
This was also my dream! Hello fellow dream accomplisher.

Thank you for this post, I HAD to zoom in and browse your collection, and it is magnificent! Congratulations on your achievement
didnotouchyou
Thank you.
EscapingRealityViaFandoms
Almost a whole shelf for BTVS!!

"a room just for books"... that's called a library, sir
didnotouchyou
Ma'am
RoAnnon
Terribly sorry, my eyesight is getting worse and I can't see clearly from here :D

This is a dream... but sadly I’m 27, working full time, saving all my money and still can’t afford a house. The UK is hella expensive...
ImNotDumbIJustPlayOne
SLOW, MOFO'ing CLAP!
AnIdiotSandwich
How many hours do you (you and ur bf) dedicate for reading every week?
didnotouchyou
I really don't keep track. Bf is very slow reader but I usually read 3 or 4 books a week.
BillMcNutt
Respectfully, there is entirely TOO MUCH WALL SPACE visible. You CLEARLY need more books.
didnotouchyou
I'm 33........I hope to live a long life, nough said.
MigraMines
This is my dream as well but in my dream it is every square in of the walls except for where there is a big stone fireplace
didnotouchyou
MigraMines
I seriously started my collection just for that
threalbigC
I spy House of Leaves. Love that book.
Mannequinhandjob
Best/only book I spotted.
guardian19d
You should have s bookshelf blocking the door. Like it's a secret library with a secret bookshelf/door to enter.

MyGrrrrrFace
A revolving book case would be something a bit different. Possibilities
Ishalldefenestrateyou
Unless you are a super villain, make sure you have a second normal entrance. Else firemen could have trouble finding you.
didnotouchyou
I'm gonna die in a fire trying to save all my books anyway.
PrivateIsotope
Or maybe some sort of bookshelf like covering on the inside and outside of the door? That'd be cool.
guardian19d
Yeah that'd be cool too. Overall, very nice.
IntrovertTurtle
I see some Julia Quinn. You should checkout some Lisa Kleypas
Lori123456
I love Kleypas and Quinn. Sarah MacLean is good too. Any other recommendations? We seem to have the same tastes
IntrovertTurtle
If you are looking for historical romance, Christina Dodd is also in the same vein, start with the governess ones.
didnotouchyou
Honestly I'm burned out on romance. Julia Quinn is the only romance author I still read love her books. I'll keep that in mind tho.
IntrovertTurtle
Those two are the only re-reads in my collection. It was the only books I noticed right away since they looked familiar.

Who else zoomed in on all the photos to see if we have some of the same books?
booyouhorcrux
Zoomed in to look for Harry Potter
AnalBumCoverFor7000Alex
The *true* book lovers did.

That is awesome! Nice job.

exactly7lemons
I'm so fucking jealous... +1 for achieving your dreams OP
didnotouchyou
Thanks
superhans1988
I really like how they’re stacked
didnotouchyou
Thanks
DrPepper523
Also, some very good book choices. Yes I zoomed and looked around :)
didnotouchyou
Yea thanks. I always look if you can zoom in clearly on a pic with books.

As a person who wants to read more but doesn't find/make time, how do you do it? Do you re-read books you've already read?
didnotouchyou
That's 2 or 3 hours a week tops.
didnotouchyou
I watch very little tv. Maybe 2 or 3 hrs tops. I read at least hr before bed every night. Take a book everywhere. I do reread.
BarryInTheStreetsOliverInTheSheets
I already don't watch tv. I do spend a little bit on the internets though. Thx
shiyal
Did you put pages on the last one?
didnotouchyou
Yes it's modge podged with a old dictionary that was falling apart.
CreepyPhlox
How do you use modge podge? I have the m.p. and a glass jar that I want to stick a backwards picture on to but don't know how to start.
didnotouchyou
I just glued them on then did 2 coats of modge podge on top for protectio.
shiyal
Thanks!
spasquini
This is also my dream, but I have a very little house and this dream cannot be accomplished ... sadly ... so I bought a Kindle ...
Flavonoidz
Get bookshelf wallpaper..
MrsSlavicHorse
Congrats on having a house though!
TheDustyOne
Step 1: Buy a little doll house. Step 2:Buy couple of regular size books. Step 3: put books in doll house. Step 4: Achieve your dream.
softestpants
Check out Scribd! So damn good.
MPinky
Same. My current house is tiiiiiiiny. But the Monthly payment is low so it's a great starter home. Dreams can wait till later.
Smayds
I love books, I have hundreds. But my Kindle is the best thing ever.
spasquini
Nothing beats the smell of a paper book ... only the quantity of books that Kindle can have inside. Astounding.
Smayds
Oh I still enjoy the feel, the smell of books. Plus the instant flicking-back to re-read a passage. But the newer Kindles are pretty close.
BurntMomWarfare
This is also my dream but I have 5.5 kids and 4 rooms
DROlD
The 0.5 is a dog? A good boy?
BurntMomWarfare
Lol no I'm 4.5 months pregnant. But we have 2 good boys and 3 evil spawns for the 5.5 children to play with.
watergypsy
I live on a narrowboat, but I dream of towing a (smaller) boat behind with nothing in it but a fire, kettle, one comfy chair, and books
StormtheGiant
I am intrigued, what is this "narrowboat"?
Fly1
its a narrow boat.
imafishgoat
Thats why its your dream,now stop giving up and go get your library and fill it with your books
Shelest
Make a tiny closet with just a Kindle stand in it.
AmyBethMegJo
I have the master suite in a shared apartment, & I have to keep all my things in there. I sleep in a twin bed so I more room for bookcases.
DROlD
Kindle is great for that purpose!
spasquini
Yeah! Full of books there!
sebastVillain
My condolences.
