From My Bookshelf

In the process of working on getting things checked off my list for this month (read about that here), I went through my bookshelf and packed up my books into this trunk like thing which, when I move, will be a coffee table of sorts and is the perfect place to keep the books stored since I want them but don't read them very often.

My bookshelf before I packed up all the books.
This also doubled as storage for my many perfumes lol.
Top Shelf: school books and photo albums. The dog was given to me by my sister Em when I had to put down my puppy Jackie.
Middle shelf: My favorite books, some cd's, and unique little things.
Bottom Shelf: Books to read, some books I have read, and empty frames (far right).

Here are a few shots of the books I had on the shelf. I have a large variety of books I (used to) enjoy reading. I don't want to get rid of them because I am still holding onto the hope that my vision will clear enough for me to be able to focus on reading again.



Most of my Hardy Boys collection. I was never a Nancy Drew fan as a girl; I did read her books in my late teens though.

My favorite books growing up: Mandie! I loved the fact that she was of Cherokee Indian decent, like me!

The Wakefield Dynasty by Gilbert Morris. I'm actually missing book 5.

Well, there you have seen a little peek into my past life. :) I don't read much now because of my brain injury and because I have "fuzz" in my vision (it's like the stuff on the TV before you turn on the DVD player) which makes reading really, really hard for me. I would read what was necessary for college, but other books pretty much just sit there. I do have two books I'm working on right now, but I only read a page and then put it down until the next time I pick it up so who knows when I'll ever finish them.
