Stop! Before you proceed to read part 3, please do make sure you click this link to find your way to Part 2 of our Book Collection Tour! Done? Good. As we whittle our way slowly to the ending of these collection posts, this post provides us with the penultimate part. No alliteration intended.
This bookcase is another beautiful antique score from a charity shop, just like the one shown in Book Collection Tour: Part 1! From what we can gather it looks as if it has been handmade and is chock full of what Drew Pritchard would call 'patina'. Plus it was a bargain. Oh and it's primarily home to our fiction, YA, box sets and series.
Working our way down, the top shelf houses some bony bits and pieces, candles, incense, our new TBR jar (separate post to come soon) though it all changes periodically. Following that are mostly series' with my boxed Chronicles of Narnia set taking pride of place...I think that shelf definitely gives a good indication into our reading tastes.
Up until recently the second book-filled shelf was mainly just a colour co-ordinated mix of fiction and somewhat still is. However, with new books entering the household and things getting moved around, it's becoming more difficult to organize them this way.
Now the bottom two shelves definitely are on the younger age scale. You'll spy one of my other favourite series in a box set on the bottom shelf - Oz, along with my puffin classics collection and paragon children's classic collection.
Other than that those shelves admittedly annoy me slightly because they just have a kind of messy, nonsensical look to them. Don't you think? I guess many of them are lone books from series so hopefully as we complete those series it will all start to look a little more put together.
Ahhh, I can't believe we only have one more of these posts to do! Boo! I'm pretty sure by this time next year we'll be re-doing all of these tours seeing as most of the book shelves have already changed since they've been posted haha.
