That's a good question Karen! I don't really have any more room, either!

I have a small spot in my bedroom for one more set of tall and skinny bookshelves. Right now, the books are all piled up in that spot by the wall until I find one.

I also have 30 or so in a laundry basket in my closet. EEK! I need to have a room dedicated just for books. An actual library--one of my biggest dreams!!

Ohhhh.. Same here, Jenny!! Maybe when I retire I can convert my office into a library. I need to start pinning library ideas!

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments I actually have some really nice bookshelves that I haven't seen in about a year - because I keep moving! (NO MORE MOVING AND THAT IS FINAL!!!!!) On this last move, we stopped by mom & dad's storage barn (where the bulk of my house has been for the past 2 years) and we tried to get the bookshelves on the truck. Couldn't do it, they wouldn't fit. I nearly cried. Mark told me he'd get them here asap. I was just over there at the barn and we measured them to see how big a pickup needs to be.

I also have 4 of those 9 box "cubbie" sort of shelves from Target. I originally got them for fabric, but they've gotten filled up with books! I really want those bookshelves back again; they're beautiful, glass shelves with lights on top - got them at Sam's Club one year. Even with all the books I already had, I hadn't yet filled them. Now I think I may come close : )

And then there's always the stack of 4-5 that's either on the nightstand or on the floor next to the bed. And the one that's usually in my laptop case.

Oh! And that book I forgot and left with my mom for her to read: The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman

Yep, I about fell over dead when I saw Eleanor & Park. Could. Not. Believe. It. I snapped that baby up so fast!

OK Karen, I won't tear up Mists of Avalon for bookmarks. I'm sure I have something in a box that would do even better - Mark's got all these dry commentaries and I'm sure he'd give one up (lol!)

Yeah, that is my point. I used to have three large bookcases of books and smaller ones too. No more. Never again. I carry hundreds of books on my Kindle. Very efficient, and don't even need a lamp to read it.

I know the feeling! I honestly did a little dance in the middle of the book section when I found each one. Totally worth the search though. I'll be interested to see what you think of Girl of Fire and Thorns. I had mixed feelings about it.

Its not a YA book, but its one of my favorite books ever, and its on sale for $2.99 today on Amazon!!

Kindred by Octavia E. Butler

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ref=...

Its a time-travel/historical story, but its much more about slavery and human rights than anything. A fantastic book!! Its one of those books that I think everyone should read!
