This includes books owned by me and my darling partner so all the ones you think are good and reflect well are mine and all the ones that you think are shit are hers

I wonder how many copies of Our Band Could Be Your Life we’ll have between us?

Should get a rolling tally of our band could be your life vs meet me in the bathroom vs inverting the pyramid. Any more potential winners?

Slaugherhouse-5, On the Road, Catch-22 … Visit from the Goon Squad?

I don’t have many physical books (maybe 25?) and they’re all spread out around the house

Would you like me to take a photo of them all?

I gave away a load of books so now only have like 2 shelves in total, it’s bliss.

What a kind, shelfless (selfless) person you are!

Beautiful alphabetical order aside from the ones too bulky to fit

That Harry potter one is not mine.

This thread is just making me angry I still haven’t sourced new shelves for our living room.

90% of our books are in boxes in the kitchen :expressionless:

Here’s one tucked behind a door because we have no space at all in our flat. Others are in spaces too messy to show. Have a bunch inevitably in parents loft. My partner reads 100+ books a year but swapped to kindle a long time ago otherwise our flat would be floor to ceiling books.

Oh: this is in the storage room also

Not the complete collection but the meat of it at least.
