Well, I’m away
from my shelves again. :(
For those of you
who don’t know, I moved to NYC this past summer. Moving meant I couldn’t take
my books with me. Thus, I left 99% of my books at my parents’ house. It’s sad
to be away from my preciouses for so long.

Because I can’t
see my shelves as often as I’d like (and because we all know us book collectors
love to just stare and drool over our collections), I took some pics of my
bookshelves. Just so I can remember them later. I thought I’d share these
photos with you guys, as I know the second-best thing to staring at our own
collections is staring at another book collectors’ shelves. ;)
On days that I
don’t have other posts planned, I’ll share photos of a bookcase. I currently
have five-and-a-half-ish bookcases that I’m planning on sharing. This will be
bookcase one. It holds a mix of fantasy and paranormal YA books that I’ve read.
The very top shelf
on this bookcase contains my Harry Potter collection. I’ve got 1–6 of the Harry
Potter books in beat-up paperbacks and all seven in hardcover, plus The Cursed Child, two illustrated
versions, and a movie creature companion. I also have multiple copies of the
shorter books, like Quidditch Through the
Ages. I received the screenplay version of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them for Christmas, but I didn’t
really have the time to add it this shelf since I would have had to rearrange
everything.
The shelf below
the Harry Potter one contains my YA fantasies and a Hermione plushie.
I have to layer my
books and stack them in order to fit them on my bookcases, so behind the Throne
of Glass stack are some more YA fantasy books.
The second shelf
down is a mix of YA fantasy and YA paranormal books. I have some Mary E.
Pearson, Becca Fitzpatrick, Cynthia Hand, and C.J. Redwine here.
Behind the Pearson
and Redwine books are Lauren Kate’s and Kiersten White’s books.
The next shelf is
primarily YA paranormal. There’s some Jennifer Estep, Aimee Carter, and
Josephine Angelini.
Behind those are
Kimberly Derting and Meg Cabot books.
This shelf is kind
of dark because it’s closer to the ground (and thus, farther from the light),
but it’s also mostly YA paranormal. Here there are Rachel Hawkins, Julie
Kagawa, and Kresley Cole books.
Behind those are
Andrea Cremer and Maggie Stiefvater books.
On the very bottom
shelf for this case are… more paranormal books! Such a surprise! Did you read
my sarcasm there. ;)
Behind those
books, there are some Cassandra Clare and Rick Riordan copies.
Whew, well that’s
bookcase one. Are there any titles pictured that you have on your shelves?
Love your bookshelves! I love the books you have on them. So many books that I want to read! Everneath, the Gathering and so many more! I want! :)
ReplyDeleteEverneath is a good one!
DeleteLots of pretties! I have a lot of these books in my kindle account. I don't think I have any of these in paper though. I see just the jacket for one book. We always have book jackets on our shelves because we take them off to actually read the book. Thanks for letting us have a peek!
ReplyDeleteYep. I have to take the dustjacket off to read hardcovers. I just don't want them to get damaged.
