So … the books that you own (however many there may be) … do you display them proudly right there in plain sight for all the world to see? (At least the world that comes into your living room.)
Or do you keep them tucked away in your office or bedroom or library or closet or someplace less “public?”
Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!


Is there such a thing as too many books?
Oh, I do hope that this means I get to see lots of pretty book displays, today!!! I went for the naked shelf but still pretty…

They’re actually stored in my closet but allow me to defend myself by clicking on the link: http://thestoryqueen.blogspot.com/2011/04/booking-through-thursday-3.html. It’s not as bad as it sounds, I swear!

My answer: http://florestadelivros.blogspot.com/2011/04/booking-through-thursday-cereais.html
This may be cheating (if so, sorry!), but I’ve blogged about my books-on-display here http://svh2.wordpress.com/2010/08/11/have-i-told-you-lately-that-i-love-books/
I couldn’t imagine not having my books out on bookcases and neither could my husband or my offspring! We all love the cosy look and the fact that people can see an important facet of our personalities.
I missed the past month or so of BTT, so I answered all of the questions (including this one) and they can be found here:
