Book me!
I have books everywhere…bookcases, side table in the bedroom, buffet in dining room, entry way console, storage totes in the basement (probably 4 full)! I started reading at a young age and read anything I could get my hands onto. I have a kindle, but nothing beats a brand new paperback or hardcover. I love the smell! (OK, now I’m weird.)
Amanda says
BOOK ME! I keep my favorites on my Kindle, but part of me wishes I had a hard copy to lovingly admire :)
Elizabeth says
BOOK ME!
We have lots of bookshelves, although our books always end up everywhere because we use them so often. I’m a librarian and my DH is a professor, so, needless to say, we are HUGE bookworms!

Right now all the books are in an Expedit in our craft room/office. Easy and presentable.

BOOK ME! I usually keep a big stack of books on my nightstand for nightly reading, but we recently moved to a new place and all of our books are still in boxes. I’m going through withdrawal! p.s. I’m excited your book is finally available … I’m going to get my hands on a copy one way or another!
Brenda Foster says
BOOK ME!
Congratulations on your book release!
Can’t wait to see it.
My books are all over the house. I mainly borrow books from the library and hate to return them. :-( Hope to win these so I can look as long as I want. Lol

Our house is abounding with books more than it should be – each room has a few lingering here and there – but we definitely have those “special” shelves in our home office that are reserved for our favorites.
Emily says

Book Me!!! We have two bookcases on either side of our bed because we love to read in bed. The kids also have a big bookshelf in their playroom for all of their books. We are big bookworms!!
Meredith K A says
BOOK ME! We have tall bookcases on either side of our living room fireplace where all the favorites go, from fiction to biographies to cookbooks. Your blog is what turned me on to books as decor, so now I occasionally pull out some pretty books when I style our coffee table for company! You might also enjoy the fact that we kind of Ikea-hacked the bookcases by stacking two Expedits: a 4×2 on top of a 2×2 on each side. They look almost built in, and we get tons of compliments on them! Your blog also gave me the idea to attack some books horizontally for added interest on the shelves, and to intersperse with other items like pottery!
Kathi says
Book Me!
Fave books are all over the house – bookcases, displayed on our entertainment center and our coffee table….
Emma P says
BOOK ME! I moved an April and got rid of most of the novels that I have read and know I will never read again. I have stashed all by novels in an open nightstand in the guest room right now. I want an etagerie for my living room to store my pretty books!
Erin says
BOOK ME!
I am a huge library-goer, so I only buy books that I enjoyed enough to want to own (along with highly-recommended ones from friends). My current read usually goes gets carried around with me. And my favorites are on a bookshelf in the living room.
Anne L. says
Book me! … In my bag because I’ll want to read through them on my train ride to work!
Betsy says
Book Me! I have a lot of bookshelves of old books. But I’m starting to stack some, bigger, pretty books (ala these books listed) on various console tables as decoration. Looks pretty!

I’m embarrassed to say that I don’t have any books in the house…they are all on a Kindle! I would love some pretty books to have out.

BOOK ME!
Most of my books are kept on my Kindle. But in the case of hardback versions (like my pre-ordered YHL!), they are kept on the coffee table to bedside table.
Jennifer says
BOOK ME! I keep books in every room of the house – with different piles in different rooms depending on genre. ‘Pretty’ or reference books are usually in the public areas with novels lurking in the bedrooms. And usually a large stack next to the bed just for good measure. :)

Sam says
BOOK ME!
I keep most on the built ins in my office, but a few on my nightstand and a few more on ladder shelves!
