Last month Lesley @tinley23 posted a month of photos on books and I said I would take a photo of all our bookcases and post it on 365. Well today I finally got round to doing it.
So this collage is for Lesley - A collage of our bookcases.
Top row - Left and right photos - nine bookcases in our rumpus room. Centre two photos - two book cases in the family room.
Second Row - Three bookcases in the dining room.
Third Row - Left picture - one bookcase in second bedroom. Second picture - 0ne bookcase in our bedroom. Third picture - One bookcase in the lounge room. Fourth picture - One bookcase in the third bedroom
Bottom Row - Seven bookcases in the study.
So 25 bookcases in the house.
I am just going out for a walk on the beach now so will catch up with your photos later tonight.
Oh and before I forget, someone just told me that my photo Lone Walker was on the TT this weeks, thanks so much.
@happysnaps Yes we have read them. We don't tend to read fiction so the majority of our books are either reference books of some sort or biographies. You name a subject and we have probably got a book on it, ha ha.
@ethelperry I tried counting them once a few years ago, but I gave up. Funny you should mention the library. I have a few friends who borrow books because they like biographies and I have just a few in my collection. I have an exercise book which they write their names in and the book they have borrowed, when they return it they cross it out in the book. I have got them trained. @maggiemae We have been married over 50 years so have had a long time to collect them. Moved house 16 times, three different countries, but our books come with us. We did have a bit of a cull a few years ago but have collected more books again now.
@casablanca I would love to have a browse in your book collection too.
Ooh, glad to see you have a couple of books on a single shelf! You should transform your home into a public library with all those books.
Nice collage. You have the same taste as I have about reading biographies. I love history books, too.
Wow, so many books! I would love all those bookcases in your rumpus room, it looks great! I have hundreds of books but they are all in roller boxes as I have no bookcases or room for bookcases.
That's quite a collection of bookshelves and books! We also have huge numbers of books. We tend to find we always have more books than shelf space for them!
Wow! You do have your own little library. I love reading as well, but I borrow from the library and limit myself to our one six-shelf bookcase for books I buy. If a new one comes in, one goes out.
Oh well done Babs! I love them all! W3 had about the same amount at the farm but have got rid if them all as they didn’t go with our new modern look. I have boxed the books I am keeping but hoping they will go on one large shelving wall. Brilliant collage...I’m hopeless at collages this is beautifully laid out. The books are all mine as Harry is not a reader...poor him....🤣🤣
Wow! That is a lot of books! I've never had that many and I've had to get rid of a lot since we moved into this house but I would never tell anyone to get rid of books! What a great collection of books- and book cases!
@onewing Omg - jealous doesn’t even get close! Oh to have that space. Fabulous! I am in awe, and would dearly love to have a mooch through your collection.

@maggiemae We both love our books.

What an impressive collection!
