Selfless selfie 2 - June challenge

I love nosing at people's bookshelves to see what I can work out from the books they read... Here are a few of my favourites :)
(_Cold Magic_ by Kate Elliott, _Shantaram_ by Gregory David Roberts, _The Queen's Fool_ by Philippa Gregory, _The Tipping Point_ by Malcolm Gladwell and _The Winter King_ by Bernard Cornwell). It was a tough choice - these were just the first I came too!
(I struggled with lighting but have to dash out for the evening so this will have to do!).

Ooooooooo - I think I will steal this idea! Great shot :)

[Nicole Campbell]

I too, love this idea.

[Livia]

Good presentation of your favorite books! Great covers!

[Allison]

Great idea and shot!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I'm the same way- I love reading people's bookshelves! You'd have a lot of fun in my house because I have quite a few bookshelves and they each have specific books! Nice shot Alia!!

[Beth]

Nice capture. You've reminded me of a couple of books I've been intending to read. Particularly "The Tipping Point".

[Kimmi]

I like to look at others bookshelves too. Tells you a lot about the person

[Ramesh Chand]

nice shot.....

[Kerri]

Yeah, a person's collection of books can tell you a lot about them

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Cool shot.

[Dixie Goode]

OOOh, Shantaram and the tipping point re two of my favorites, which gives me hope that I might like the others on your list. My Brother-in-law works with cobras and often goes to Mumbai and stole my copy of Shantaram and I had to replace it because I can't imagine not having it

[Katie]

Neat! This would be a great idea for a thread on favorite books ...

[Jane Hyde]

Good idea for the challenge

[Pyrrhula]

nice and lovely idea for the challenge , cool shot

[Sue Kosa]

Good idea !!!

[Margaret Tryon]

Yes, I agree. You can tell about a person by their books. Love the lighting in your shot.

[Allison]

I can't agree more with everyone - great way to learn about people... although, I've never heard of any of these books, so I guess that means I don't know much more about you! lol

@pandorasecho I have random book tastes - of those in the pic:
Shantaram - contemporary, semi-autobiographical
The Tipping Point - pop science
Cold Magic - Steampunk fantasy
The Queen's Fool - Historical fiction
The Winter King - Historical fantasy

[mihaela oprisan]

i like too see what other people read!but now it's more difficult because of e-books :)

[Danielle Greenwood]

haha I do the same! I've read one of these books, Shantaram. Loved the first 3/4 of the book then he drove me mad....lol

[summerfield]

i have "the queen's fool" but never got around to reading it; someone sent it to me from somewhere. nice set up, very nice shot.
