For the Up Close and Personal Challenge

Sometimes a higgledy piggledy bookcase can give you an up close and personal peek into the reading activity in a house. This is one such peek at one of our bookcases.

An intriguing and eclectic collection. One of the first things I do when I visit someone is, if I can do it without appearing too nosy, look at their bookcases. Of course, if there are no bookcases I feel uneasy! I see some familiar books here. WOnderful idea! I was thinking of something similar a few weeks ago, and perhaps I will execute it now having seen your great gallery. V

Second book, top left... is that a MACQUARIE dictionary that I spy?

You are so right. I always think you can tell so much about someone by their bookshelves. :) Nice idea!
