As the title of the post suggests, this is the first of a few peeks into our book collection. Starting off with our cabinet in the living room, you'll see we are in full Halloween mode (and have been since October 1st to be honest) and I wasn't going to be taking the decs down just for a blog post, so excuse and look beyond. So you can tell how it usually looks, the only actual 'Halloween' additions are the obvious pumpkins, cobwebs and the black light wreath. Come take a closer look....
It would make sense to begin at the beginning so top shelf first, eh? The 'Disney' shelf. Here there are, at time of writing, a total of 34 titles including Twisted Tales, Books of the Movies and some of my favourite possesions - the Tales from the Haunted Mansion series which are just beautiful.
Unlike the vast percentage of our overall collection, almost all of these books have been bought brand new, even preordered, meaning they probably cost us more money than all the books on another of our bookcases.
Working our way down to the middle shelf, the home to our 'prettiest' books. I don't care what anyone says, we all judge books by the cover in some way, shape or form and Mr H and I are happily very guilty of this. We love old books, hardback books without their slipcovers, glided pages and embossed spines...you get the gist. This section changes often as we collect more and more beautiful books but at this time it's home to 20.
The final shelf is pretty self explanatory it would seem! A few, well only 10, of my Harry Potter books. If you saw this post [click here] you'll know that Mr H is a keen Tolkien collector, my things are Disney and Potter! In an upcoming post I will share my full Harry Potter book collection so far, though you'll see here I have the Hufflepuff Editions that are availible, Cursed Child and Fantastic Beasts screen plays and the illustrated editions also accompanied by a couple cute bits.
We really love our cabinet and hope you've enjoyed having a look at what we have on it. There is a tiny bit more room amongst the 64 books here but of course we enjoy having it more as a diplay unit with ornamental object too.
That's it! We do have another 3 or so bookcase tour posts to share with you over the coming months which we're looking forward to putting together!
