For #LibraryShelfieDay, here's the book case in our living room. The top two shelves are reserved for the works of Terry Pratchett.

A photo of a book case in the corner of a cosily lit living room. It's crammed full of books, nicknacks, and other ephemera.

The thing I've found really lovely about this whole endeavour is just how similar a lot of us are. And I immediately picked out a load of books you have that I've got and am either reading, have just read or am waiting to read! Kindred spirits. 👊 :blobcatbook:

@TheBreadmonkey@beige.party I made a point of removing Mein Kampf and my Ayn Rand collection before taking the photo ❤️

Oh my god. I'm so sorry but I appear to have did an actual lol.

@TheBreadmonkey@beige.party Joking aside, this is a modest collection that mostly exists as decoration / collection, because 99% of my reading these days is done with my Kobo. But that doesn't make for such a nice corner of the living room.

I like to imagine that these aren't even your books - they're your owners. That you are actually a cat and the packet of Dreamies are yours.

I used to work in the art gallery in Bradford (birthplace of Hockney). About 10 years ago we were selling the sumo book and I so wish I had bought one at the time. Part of my habit at the time was to buy a work from our open exhibitions every year. I don’t have any to put it now mind, but I do like nice things.

It has gone up in price dramatically. This one came from Saltaire. Many years ago Hockney was commissioned to do a drawing for the cover of the BT Bradford Area phone book. I wonder who now has the original

I saw a massive Hockney wall at Cartwright hall in 2011 I think.
