Good morning booklovers,

if you, like me, have bookshelves stuffed with around your house, then Eva Wiseman has got news for you... they signify more about your life & the society we live in than you thought.

'bookshelf wealth' (a new design trend), is not the innocent amassing of things to read, we may have thought...

@ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon As a child I was an avid reader, but we moved around a lot so I was always back to whatever few books I absolutely couldn’t part with. Now I have masses of books, and people always ask if I’ve really read them all. Yes, they don’t go into the bookcase until they are read (I have a TBR shelf elsewhere). It’s a bit sad if people don’t read their books, but perhaps they end up having a kid like me and then they aren’t wasted.

@riggbeck @ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon second hand books have a kind of magic to them, especially when you find the name of the last person who owned it written in there (or a book plate detailing why someone received the book as a prize/gift).

@riggbeck @ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon aren’t these delightful? I wonder what sort of Christmas H Patterson had, and how long it took her to get the whole series of books (I found more books over the years with her name in them, all from the same author).
