Currently sitting at ~800 volumes. I collect first editions, first printings as much as I can. Also serves as a listening room. Second picture is some of my 1800s leather bound sets on a table in the entryway. Third picture is the shelf in the bedroom.
Rearranged to make some new space and a dedicated horror/mystery section.

I live in a tiny house, but I still made sure to have a library built in! Hoping to add to it eventually, going up the angled wall too.
Still growing some and will need to expand the storage capacity soon
What shelves are you all using? I was thinking about going with the IKEA Billy shelves, but it seems like they have the tendency to sag. Looking for something that looks like wood and sturdy. Would love to find actual wood shelves, but I’m thinking that’s going to be considerably more than I’d like to spend beings I’m going to need several. Thanks!
A work in progress but here’s a look at my office so far (sorry about the lighting)
ITS GOING TO MASSIVE!!!!
My library space at various stages of its evolution
i’m moving out of my childhood bedroom soon and i wanted to show all the books ive picked up throughout the years! i used to have the rest of the rick riordan pjo spin off books, but i gave them away to my niece a few months back.
My wife, sister and I recently combined our collections and fulfilled a childhood dream of a library in our house. We used to have to books stuck in kitchen cabinets and drawers but we read so much more now that we can see what everyone has! And the cats have a new spot because they like to be tall lol
Years of collecting, but all packaged away in a single weekend 🥹 It will take 5 days of driving, but excited to get there and VERY excited to reorganize everything!
There are books in almost every room of the house, but my manga room is my favorite.
My husband has his political / historical / “books with words” as he likes to call them downstairs 🤣 I’ve my fantasy / sci fi in my office. A silly amount of cookbooks in the kitchen that we need to be more adventurous with recipe experimentation. Books everywhere.
January 2023, it was our New Year’s resolution to start going to bed an hour early and reading to disconnect from the day and the world. It’s something we both love doing together and is slowly turning our home into a library 😍 Obsessed.
