My daughter's room i...Yes I can relate to this! My daughter's room is basically a library...3 bookcases that I can think of off the top of my head. There would be more but simply no room. She rereads almost all her books again and again and is such a quick reader that this is a godsend! My son's room has two floor to ceiling bookcases..not quite full yet but it's getting there! Then we have a big pine bookcase in the hallway...and still piles by everyone's bed! Books are such a common present in our family that it's impossible not to have lots...I remember years ago learning that my husband's family view them as 'groceries' ie; necessities not luxuries! Lovely way to look at life. My mum was a librarian and my dad a journalist so books = life I guess! Oh and every year I have a big clean out, along similar lines to you Sue, for the school fete.... Long live the book!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677903765123497474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-12469824019009624622011-10-23T19:09:23.421-04:002011-10-23T19:09:23.421-04:00I loved looking at your book selves...LOL I have ...I loved looking at your book selves...LOL I have 2 very tall bookcase, one shorter one and then about 200 books on shelves in ,y walk-in-closet LOL<br /><br />Have a great week Sue.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-5043828619366047002011-10-21T08:23:01.625-04:002011-10-21T08:23:01.625-04:00Not a bad vice to have, Kathy!!

No exaggeration. When we first walked through our new house, we both looked at the living room and said, "Library!" It has 6 large bookcases (and the two that have my children's books are double stacked!), office- 1, master bedroom- 3, garage- 3! I know it's ridiculous but books are just so much fun to have!!! It's our only real vice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-72777953084575877362011-10-19T21:00:47.815-04:002011-10-19T21:00:47.815-04:00That's a lot of books!
