I've tried to stop buying books now and generally go to the library.

So thanks for enabling me to take a peek! :)<br /><br />We have several bookshelves in the living room (broadly organised by theme) then more books either side of the bed, and yet more in boxes. My craft magazines are separate, and I'm trying to purge the older ones which no longer have anything of interest. Amazing how quickly some of the trends look dated!Caroline Hackneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151607391428322498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677093240562122982.post-13576913335236605292012-07-02T00:25:27.629+01:002012-07-02T00:25:27.629+01:00I have been very strict with myself about books......I have been very strict with myself about books...I borrow from the library and no longer buy new ones because I live in a very small space. Several years ago, I forced myself to give away many books and I gave my old magazine series to my local library. This actually was a great idea as I can get them out and read them whenever I want and lots of others can enjoy them too! Now, the books that I have kept are what I refer to as reference books (non-fiction). I can find virtually anything at my library so let them do the storage for me!justasiamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04995550534807741426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677093240562122982.post-7092808764199647662012-07-01T22:57:16.254+01:002012-07-01T22:57:16.254+01:00I spotted lots of favorites - my Harry Potter book...I spotted lots of favorites - my Harry Potter books are on the top of my children's/youth bookshelf in the guest room, displayed with some Hogwarts House tea cups DH ordered from London. I'm currently reading Brisingr & the Narnia series is a favorite here, too.<br /><br />We have books in almost every room of the house, and I agree that having them where they are used is best. I keep my scrapbooking inspiration books in my craft room, cookbooks in the breakfast nook, children's books in the guest room (because most of our guests are my nieces & nephews), and our collection of fiction & non-fictions books on four sets of shelves in the front room.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650193963974000786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677093240562122982.post-80706290827835186112012-07-01T15:42:14.677+01:002012-07-01T15:42:14.677+01:00Not sure I'd be able to fit all of my books in...Not sure I'd be able to fit all of my books into one blog-post - and to be fair, I wouldn't want to share at the moment.
