Books in Our Home Library
Everywhere one goes to our home, reading materials can be seen. Magazines in the bathrooms and on the bedside table, cookbooks in the kitchen, children’s story books on the sofa, the paperback I am currently reading on the bed (lol!), countless e-books in the computers and different kinds of books in the library.
Here is one part of our home library. Pardon the clutter, the books keep piling up faster than I can organize these.
I have a thing about collecting an author’s books if I like what I have read. Among my collection are (my almost complete) Mary Higgins-Clark and her daughter Carol, David Baldacci, Michael Crichton, Richard North Patterson, David Kellerman, almost complete Archie McNally series by Lawrence Sanders, Dan Brown, Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum, among others.
Oh, by the way, I don’t usually buy new books, I get these from bargain book stores. I only buy new books that come in series like the Harry Potter books.

Great pic for the theme! Happy weekend 🙂
I have bookcases every in my house. I had to get a new one just to hold all the books I’m waiting to read. I’m a collector too ~ Neil Gaiman, Christopher Moore, Patricia McKillips. I have all of Clancy and most of Ludlum.
I used to keep every book I ever bought… but now, reality set in and in combining two households who both hoard the books.. it was impossible. We would need two or three rooms to hold them all. So, donations to the library, sales at garage sales and gifts to others. It was either that or have our house be like living in a public library.
My books are up here.
Seeing such a library always makes me want to look through and see what’s there. Good thing we have this bookstore were they sell bargain books and in the back of the store they have shelves filled with second-hand books bought from personal collections. I can spend hours in there!
Enjoy your weekend.
Ours used to be like that 😀 Buti na lang inayos ni hubby lol.
