You’ve heard a similar “request” yelled during Mardi Gras in New Orleans, right?
Please don’t respond with THOSE kinds of photos. This is a PG-rated blog.
Instead, Nick (Call of the Siren) and I want to see the books on your shelves. We want to take a dip into your psyche and expose your literary soul to the world. Call it a “Reader’s Rorschach.”
Now post away and leave a message on Nick’s or my blog so we can drop by and wander at our leisure among your titles. And just to prove that Nick and I are not just voyeurs, we’ll be posting photos of our own shelves this weekend.
Thanks for indulging our curiosity! Who knows, maybe we’ll throw you a necklace or two.

Ooh, I don’t know if this is a lazy response, but it’s the most logical way I can think to do it. I recently posted pics of one of my new book shelves. It is the Penguin case. I just decided that would be my theme. Here is al ink to it. Hope you like what you see. These titles probably aren’t reflective of my overall taste. I like so mnay different things. 🙂

Thank you for sharing your link, Kate. This is not lazy. You are being efficient. :o)
Well, I’ve just spent an hour searching for my camera and the only conclusion I can come to is that I’ve put it in a ‘safe place’ and then forgotten where that is. This means…..I have finally become my mother!! I’m now going to go lie in a darkened room for a while…
Should my senility recede at some point, I will post pics. 🙂
Oh no! I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve done that type of thing. I hope you find it. I’m dying to take a look at your library! :o) Just call me nosy…
Stay tuned. Dogpatch Writers Collective will be posting photos of their shelves this weekend.
Dogpatch is in the game. Take a peek.
The Guardian has interesting info on browsing the books of famous dead writers:

Too fun, Jill! At my age I feel a lot more confident about showing my bookshelves than the alternative, although it’s only 11:33 in the morning.
:o)
This is one of my favorites for this year so far for depth and easy reading at the same time. http://wp.me/p2jC53-1ck. I’ve read quite a few good books, though! 🙂
What a fun idea! I’m traveling a lot lately so got behind in my blog reading so missed this post. Will try to post something when I get back to my normal routine!
Thanks so much. I’ll put my curiosity on hold until then. 🙂
It ain’t pretty.

L-O-V-E I-T !!!!
I’m away at Squaw Valley Writers Workshop right now, so I have NO time to do anything except write this short note. Will take a closer look at your bookshelves when I return. Thank you for playing!!
