~nellie and skye both have posts about their bookshelves and so i am joining in the fun and spreading the idea~
i wonder what the contents of my bookshelf tells about me?
***
our bookshelf has six shelves, with four given over to books and two for bits and bobs.
i have to say i have two other bookshelves however~a tiny little tucked in a small corner space facing my six shelves and a huge custom built one in our front room which takes up one whole wall and home to many, many books and our collective cd/dvd collection~but it is still too small and we are contemplating using the larger end wall in the room for an even bigger one~the possibility of not buying books is not an option!
for this post i shall look at the books/bits and bobs shelves...
~'one hundred years of solitude' by gabriel garcia marquez
~all of armistead maupins 'tales of the city'
~'wilderness man' by lovat dickson
~all of laura ingles wilders 'little house'
