Tour of my bookshelves!

Previously I wrote a post called Bookshelf Love featuring bookshelves with interesting designs and how our shelves can sometimes reflect aspects of our personality. So I thought that I would give you a photo tour of my bookshelves so you can see what books I own and what they show about me in how they look/are organised.

Some of my books are organised in the different reading stages I've gone through and what age I was when I brought the book and I also like to try and keep series books and books by the same author together but this is not always the case

This is the bookcase that I first had when I started to buy a lot of books and read independently a lot more than I used to.

This photo is of part of my collection of Enid Blyton (the second row of books behind on the top shelf) , most of which I purchased in a second- hand store but a few were copies passed onto me from my parents. There are also more on the second shelf and altogether, I have about 100 Enid Bytons that are very special to me- I would never sell them!

This is a section from my most recent bookshelf, which is above the first. I don't know what did without it! At the bottom are all books that I have read/am going to read this year, with my Georgette Heyers and various library books. On the top shelf, which is not in the photo, there are all of Mary Hooper's historical fiction books (signed!) and about 20 Chalet School ( Elinor. M. Brent Dyer) titles.

Although many of the books I read are from the library, this bookshelf will fill up soon too but thankfully, my family are building a guest room with lots of bookshelf space planned.

These bookshelves are above my desk and computer and are right in the middle of the room if you are looking in from the door. On the bottom shelf is the rest of my extensive collection of Chalet School books along with rare hardback editions of Angela Brazil's school stories, some of them were first published in 1915!. On the top shelf, there is a mix of books, with a box set of the My Story Diaries. 

What are your bookshelves like?
