And I love the fact that Ruth also has other things besides books in these wonderful bookcases. The globes and the microscope at the top shelf definitely add a nice touch.
Her reading taste is varied as well. I can spot several biographies and works of fiction among the books. And she has a good collection of Penguins!
What do you think of Ruth's bookshelf, dear reader?

Cute! I love those shelves. I wish my other half would just give in and let books and cats take over the house.
Hi, Hagelrat! Hahaha. I wish that too. Although, I prefer dogs to cats.
Oh I love this idea, my Gran has walls taht have just become shelves and shelves alone and think its great.
Hi, Simon! The shelves are wonderful, aren't they? I'm envious as hell.
I love this feature on your blog Peter, but it often leaves me "green with envy". :)
What gorgeous book shelves. I like the idea of having them in the living room.
Yes, the other objects make the bookshelves look more lived in & real. Lovely!
I so need some built in book shelves. And I love this regular feature. Thanks.
@Diane: Me too!
@Vivienne: Yes. Bookshelves in the living room make for good conversation pieces.
@StephanieD: Of course, my favorite is the microscope.
@C.B. James: You're welcome.
this looks such a lovely cosy spot to curl up with a book ... and a pretty intellectual collection there too.
thanks for sharing

Hi, Martine! Yes, it is cozy, isn't it?
Darn it, Martine stole my comment. Oh, wait. She was here first.
I love a reading spot where I'm surrounded by books—even in the bookstore.
And thanks, Peter, for Mass on Sunday. You really touched me with that.
Hi, Charlie. I just hope that you feel better soon.
This is a really nice bookshelf and yeah I like the little additions of several stuff around the books. But I wouldn't do this on my own shelf. I'm much too careless I'd probably just knock them all down each time I browse through the shelves. :P
This is one of the nicest bookshelf pictures you have in your collection, Peter. The room seems light and airy so that the entire thing is just so attractive.
I love it! It makes me want to simply grab a book and read it.
How I wish I could make a similar book case in our house, but alas, space is really becoming hard to come by.
@Patrick, josbookshelf, and Jhay: It is one of the nicest!
mAN, i WANT!! i WANT!! LOL AWESOME!
Hi, Krista! We all want this awesomeness!
Wow, very nice.
Very informative blog. Keep it up.

Hi, Peter! I agree--the microscope is my favorite. Next to all the books, of course. Such a lovely, lovely shelf. Sigh.
Wow, thanks everyone for your wonderful comments on my bookshelves! It's made me see my jumble of books and random collection of stuff in a new light.
Oh wait maybe I should have said.. "I NEED!!" lol
Great idea! I don't suppose anyone but a booklover would understand our fascination with other people's books LOL.
I want! I want!
Wow, I wanted my books to be that organized. Feels good when your books feel good where they are staying too, you know.
Here's my share of shelves. Before they collapse. Haha!
