She believes “all good book nerds have them in all parts of the house!”). Congrats Melissa!

Book Me!
We try to contain all of our books to bookshelves throughout the house, while trying to know the audience. Family room gets non-embarrassing books to be browsed and lent out like humor and popular fiction; guest room has fun fiction and travel/hiking guides; and the office has some professional development and books relating to our personal work bios. Of course, random books will find a new home outside of this system every time we “clean.”

Kendra says
BOOK ME! My favorite books are on my nightstand. These books would definitely class up (and color up) my nightstand. :)
Kim says
BOOK ME!
I probably have too many books. The last time I boxed them all up, I had more boxes of books than I had of shoes or clothes. My favorites are usually displayed somewhere where I can get to them easily (coffee table, side table, nightstand), but I rotate favorites frequently and they really could be anywhere. Once we get moved into our new place, I’m looking forward to getting all my books unpacked and accessible again.
Candace says
BOOK ME!!!
All my favorite books are stored on a bookshelf in our office. Although, with a new addition on the way, looks like the books are going to have to make way for baby!
Katherine B says
Book me!! I keep my books on my extremely full bookshelf in my room. My special books however, are not kept on the bookshelf but are usually lying around where I am most likely to read them!
Cheri says
Book Me! I’m kind of a mess and have books everywhere. Book shelves, coffee table, cookbooks on top of the fridge, stacked on the dresser and night stand, even in boxes in my future in-laws basement. But there is always room for more books – especially wedding and house books as we are in the middle of planning our wedding and looking for a house!!!
Amanda says
BOOK ME!
We have a corner table between our two sofas that usually holds our interesting reads and the latest copy of Real Simple.

BOOK ME! Books live in every room of my house. Cookbooks live on an out of the way counter in the kitchen, novels live in the bookshelves by my bed, children’s books and non-fiction books live in the bookshelves in my living room, and trivia books live on a shelf in the bathroom.
Sara says
Book me! My fav books live on a special shelf in the living room, and tucked into a pile on an end table with a little ceramic bird on top of them.

BOOK ME! We keep ours in a bookcase in the dining room- I love the colors and textures they bring to the room!
Congratulations on your book’s release day- very exciting! Can’t wait to have it!

georgianne cox says
BOOK ME! :)
I have a kindle now so any new books I buy now are on there…I sold/gave away most of my paper books…except my all-time favorites – I keep them – in my art/inspiration room…with everything else that encourages me to see the world differently.
Janice says
BOOK ME! My current faves are on my bedroom dresser, but I have grand plans of creating a library to house my whole collection (which is currently stored in the garage after several moves) . . . I just need to find the space somewhere in the house.
Jess says
BOOK ME…
My books get a spot in my bookshelves (or strewn about since I’m constantly reading things).
Plus, I need a new copy of yours. The one I originally bought for myself, I decided to gift for a friend’s birthday!

book me!
my books are scattered across the house. I use the pretty ones to decorate with – a few meaningful ones stacked on my daughter’s dresser, a few prop up other decor on our built-ins, a few adorn our bedside tables.
Joanna M says
BOOK ME! My favorite books are all over the place – we have a large bookshelf surrounding our TV so that’s where most of them are, but i have a bedside spot for what I’m currently reading, an office spot for stuff I want to access during my workday, and we have a bedroom bookshelf which is mostly for boring books that don’t need prime real estate :)

Ashley P. says
Book me!!!
Erin says
BOOK ME!
In my house I have a beautiful wall of built-ins and embarrassingly, not enough books to fill them! I’ve always been a huge bookworm, but lately have moved so much that I got rid of so many books. When I didn’t have enough for the bookcase, I was like, “I don’t even know who I am anymore!”
Laura says
BOOK ME! Hi, I have two wooden album crates stacked next to my bed as a nightstand. The top one is solely for books I need to read. (Right now it’s pretty full, but I could always find room for books by my favorite bloggers!)
Julie says
Book me! My favorite books are on our coffee table.
Lori S says
BOOK ME! I keep some on my bedside table and my favorites on the coffee table in the family room.
