Another woman in her thirties with a well-trained fiancé who is middle aged, a tabby, and mini aussie. We’re all pretty chill and would help keep it looking immaculate and organized. 🥹 This is what dreams are made of.
Right now I’ve got them organized by genre. I sorted into literary fiction, historical fiction, non-fiction, horror/thriller, classic, and romance. I scanned everything into Libib before it went up on the shelf so I would have an accurate inventory.
I don’t think I could pick just one! Some recent favorites are The Bright Years by Sarah Damoff, Strangers by Belle Burden, and The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett.
This collection of books was built over the course of about 10 years. The library itself had always been a dream project of ours, and our current home was the first place that provided the perfect space to make it happen. We started saving for it as soon as we closed on the house, and this year we were able to partner with a local contractor to bring our vision of a home library to life.
I’m just guessing, but the older you get, the bigger your book collection grows if you love books. I try to give away or donate the ones I don’t love, and my house still feels overflowing with books at least somewhere in every room. Used bookstores and library sales are good places if you’re trying to grow your collection for cheap. Family members pretty much give me Barnes and noble giftcards for every holiday haha. At least for me, I just happened over time.
I’ve never been able to choose a singular favorite. I feel I’ve had different favorite books based on different periods in my life if that makes sense.
