my collection 002.JPG my collection 003.JPG my collection 004.JPG my collection 005.JPG my collection 006.JPG OK, folks. Here it is, finally! Pics of my book collection. Some of you have been asking for this for some time and I finally took the time to take some pics. Mind the mess, I am NOT the best housekeeper around. First photo shows my TBR pile on top of bookcase. Second is various authors. Third shows anthologies and books about King. Fourth shows Koontz, Robertson Night Visions and Rowling at bottom. Fifth is British editions and paperbacks. Sixth is audio's, ARC's, DT and Stand comics, red leathers, Bachman's.

Five and a half years ago I did move and sadly I had to get rid of alot of books. Had all of David Morrell's, all of James Patterson's, all of Grisham's, and alot of others. I hope I won't have to move ever again. Of course, the collection keeps growing so I'll probably have to find a bigger place...

We used to have over a thousand books, my husband and I. About five years ago, we downsized and got rid of lots of them. Now we have about two hundred. I call them our "core collections"-- he has his favorite books and I have mine but we cheat a little. We have a sixty volume set of The Great Books. They're published by The Encyclopedia Brittanica and contain the complete works of great writers like Homer, Plato, and Shakespeare and the "bestsellers" of many others like Dickens, Hemingway, and Faulkner. It's a good tradeoff… you still have a pretty meaty library at your fingertips but at the same time you don't have all the book dust, which we almost always had, seeing as dusting is just about my least favorite activity on earth. :smile2:

That is soooo awesome!!! Beautiful. I have over 700 books, but your collection is way better!
Please, tell me where you got the puzzle cube!!!! (Hellraiser) I would love to have one of those!!! Also, you have two copies of a Tabitha King book I want to read...can I borrow one? :haha:

Picked up the Hellraiser cube at a comic book store years ago. As for the Tabitha King books, one is an ARC and the other is the hardback. Sorry, I don't lend out my books- it would be like letting one of my kids (if I had any) get adopted out.

I only lend if I'm ready to lose--learned that the hard way when Carrie, The Dark Half, Nightmares & Dreamscapes, Silence of the Lambs, etc. etc. walked out the door & never came back. Took me until last year to find another HB Carrie *sigh* Now I buy up copies of books that I'm likely to lend (SK books, Lambs, & These Is My Words are likely loaners) & give them away.
