Musing Mondays (July 19)

This week’s musing asks…

What does your bookshelf (or, what do your bookshelves) say about you to the people who come into your home?

I think my bookshelves say that I’m an eclectic, avid reader.

I have books on many different subjects, as whenever I get inspired to learn about something, I start collecting books about it. For example, I went through a phase where I thought I wanted to be a psychologist, so I collected a bunch of books on Psychology. Then I went through my “want to be a Writer” phase, and collected books on the craft of Writing. Then — most recently — I got really inspired by health & fitness, so I collected a bunch of books in that genre, too (that’s still an ongoing phase).

I own over 1200 books, too, and no matter how many times I try to whittle my collection, it just grows again. You can view my collection HERE.

Of course, most people who see my collection just think I’m nuts. They wonder how on earth I can read so much, and where I find the time. And, they just don’t understand my passion. But, in all honesty, I don’t care. I love my books, I love reading, and there are worse evils out there.

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your answer in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks!
