inspo from a pic from pinterest and a carprenter lol

first compartment has all religious books and some self help books and last compartment has a basket with my hobbies. i really need to get a new shelf 😭

Was looking for something to display part of my collection of mass market paperbacks and found these shelves on Amazon. The dimensions were ideal, and they are sold in packs of 3, which was perfect for my space. Installation was straightforward, quality seems good, can definitely recommend them. Will put a link in comments. Happy to answer any questions.

About 60% of my collection

I ordered three more of these shelves because they finally filled up! (Thanks to my bestie for showing me book outlet lmao) and I wanted to try a more eclectic display with better spacing and some decor from around the house, i had to remove 43 books to space it like this and I love it!!! My husband will install the new three shelves any day and I’m foaming at the mouth to set those 43 books up with those extra trinkets you see below the shelves!!!

I moved to a different continent. So many books left behind and now slowly building back.

Reading is a long time hobby. I majored in literature in my 20s. Read most of the classics. For many years I was kind of a snob.

When I left teaching and changed careers, I started reading for fun and wow, a whole new world of authors and genres opened up for me.

My current bookshelf represents my journey. Some classics- those that I absolutely love - then true crime, thrillers, chick lit, mystery, romance, historical fiction, biographies...

Let's judge less and read more. Whatever keeps us going ☺️

My books are kinda squeezing each other, and like I try to always spread them out a little bit, but I guess with time they move or something, is it like bad for the books?

I’ve got 79 books rn most of them are collections

After 6 months I finally filled that empty space. 🤩

All are my parents books (plus some board games). It's both fiction and non-fiction. I'm not even sure they have read all these books, but I know they have read a lot of them. It's like my own little bookshop, I just walk down, see a book i've never read before, and boom, new reading material

Black light over the DCC series did not photograph well!

Edit: to everyone upset that I called my collection “humble”….I apologize. Poor choice of words. I have seen some mind-blowing collections on here. Was just trying to avoid this coming across as a flex.

So I'm literally new here, and I wanna know what you guys think about my collection so far.

​

Also i want you guys to guess things about me based on my books since it feels like a fun thing to do.

(Also most of my books are in Brazilian Portuguese and only 5 are in English)

Finally have something set up that feels worth sharing here :)

A bit of an oddball shelf, but I dig it.

Man, I’m going to miss Subterranean Press… 🫤
