The Bookshelf - Show your books, comics, etc.

Postby Froken Keke » July 14th, 2012, 10:43 am

Got the idea for this from another thread, couldn't find anything like it when I searched, so here we go.

Surely we don't all read obscure underground webcomics? I bet you read a lot of other stuff too, comics, books, magazines, whatever. It would be fun to see all the comicbooks and novels and coffeetable books and stuff you own, a picture of your bookshelf, or your pile of books ready for burning, or your jumbled mess, or whatever. A look at someones bookshelf tells a lot about that person, I think this could be pretty fun, like that "show your workspace" thread.

Here's a picture of mine;

As you can see, I'm much more into comics than ordinary litterature. I have an excessive amount of Tintin, Moomin, Dragon Ball, as well as a bunch of other stuff. I do have a bunch of One Piece and other stuff in my closet that doesn't fit into the shelves, I'm always running out of space.

Now, let's see yours!

I don't have a camera so I can't take pictures of my current shelves, so here's a very outdated bunch of pictures from 2010:

My collection has grown since. Also, these are just my Japanese comics. I have half a shelf of American comics, and several shelves of reference/photo/art books and novels. I like books.
I need to get rid of some of the series I'm no longer interested in though ;_; They take up room. It's hard to get rid of Japanese books though, nobody wants them here.

This thread has me on a quest to get a camera now.
I need it for another thread I want to make too :T
Busy, busy.

I feel like it's obvious that I of all people should point this out, but I see you have Yu-Gi-Oh! R in Japanese. I'll take that off your hands if willing! xDD

I collect mostly manga--I don't read many American comics or novels because I'm an uncultered weaboo who only reads them chinese comics 'cuz I have awful tastes. I'd love to start reading American comics and novels though! I really don't know where to start, though.


Anyhoo, here's my stuff.

Edit: Will post when Imgur stops being down.

A story about secret agents playing a trading card game to protect a city from a terror plot. It's not as insane as you might think.

Comics are not really something I am bothered about, and they cost a ridiculous amount of money here. So instead, look at some of the books I have. I have a few boxes more, these are just the ones I re-read the most and like having around.

Count the cats!
Spoiler! :

The mangas are Samurai Deeper Kyo, Ouran High School Host Club, Dramacon(?), Snow Drop, God Child, FMA, ... (????)
I have more, but they're broken so I think I put them away.


But yes, clarifying some things.

I don't have the entire Eragon series, though I do think I have it somewhere. I have read it.
I also currently have the first Song of ice and fire, but its next to my bed as I finished it recently.
I have two different translations of LOTR. Sue me.
While there are some games in my bookshelf, most of my games are below my working desk or next to my computer.
I keep comics bigger than pocket-format in my wardrobe.
I'm not a twi-tard, but the they were a gift, before Twilight was even popular. There were times before Twilight was popular. And I lived those times... Ahh, nostalgia.
I have three reference books on cats, but on my floor becaues I'm using them.

I like books, but not as much as I like cats.

Bookshelf number one (of a total of two). We just got moved into our new home about a month ago and have been doing renovations so this just went up not too long ago. The other has yet to follow and by the time it's done they'll both sit in the living room. :)

The bottom shelf on this one is DVDs, though. Sorry for that, guys. I'll get a picture of the second one as I get it up too.

This one here is purely novels and anatomy books (that I'm currently studying) as well as a healthy dose of WWII books that recount everything from the whole war right down to specific battles. I'm something of a Modern History nut though I 'specialize' (I use this term loosely) in the World Wars.

I'm relieved to see I'm not the only one covering my bookshelf with things other than books. xD
I'll try to remember to take a picture once my husband's awake.

a foldable wooden chessboard, sewing box, and an old photo of me and grandpa, as well as a jar of black sand from a beach I can never remember the name of

I put these (long with Mushishi on the opposite side of the shelf) on their own because I use them for inspiration/references a lot.

I have no bookshelves... I just put books on convienent surfaces. A lot of them are currently living in boxes in the attic. I'm hoping to move soon so I may have some actual pictures of my bookshelves at a later date.

Just a glimpse of my (rather extensive) collection! The rest is still in packing boxes and spread in dribs and drabs around the house- I think I might have a liiiiittle bit of a book problem.
