Shelves: I haz them

The little attic flat I moved into recently only had the very basics in terms of furniture, and “the very basics” did not include (somewhat puzzlingly for the likes of me) shelves of any kind. At first I wasn’t going to do anything about this, as I’m only living here temporarily, after all. But one year is not that short a time, and considered the piles of books that already covered my floor after only two months, getting some inexpensive shelves began to seem like a very wise idea. An afternoon of work and two hammered fingers later, behold! my brand new bookshelf:


Here are a few close ups, in case you want to do some proper book snooping and read the titles. You can click on the pictures to further enlarge them:


Top to bottom:

• Children’s and YA, mysteries, speculative fiction, and Zombies versus Unicorns (I am and always will be Team Unicorn, of course.)
  
• Historical fiction, general fiction, and bookmarks.
  
• Non-fiction, Viragos, and classics.

• CDs, videogames and DVDs.
  
• My boyfriend’s TBR shelf.
  
• Library school stuff.

It’s amazing how much less chaotic and more homelike the place feels now that there’s a proper bookshelf in it!
