Let's commence my shelf tour my bottom shelf! However, I have a few things to say before I go into detail:
There's no particular order to the way in which I organize my shelves. I have one shelf for 'classics/old books' and one shelf for non-fiction texts, (the one I'll be sharing with you in this post) which for some unknown reason, shares it's home with a few notebooks and fictional pieces of writing (Clear evidence that I lack organization skills.)
So, without further ado- here is the first (half of the first) shelf:
To the far left is a set of 9 Longman Literature Guides, given to me by my nan a few years ago and, as far as I know, are just study guides for A-level/GCSE/first year university students. In my mini collection, I have the study guide for: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, The Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare, The Knight's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer, Sons and Lovers by D.H Lawrence, A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams, The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, Hard Times by Charles Dickens and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.
Propped up against the set of books is a drawing by my youngest brother or himself as a superhero, which I like to keep on display.
The next book is The Complete Human Body by Dr Alice Roberts (Although, multiple specialists from different fields came together during the writing of this book.)Given to me by my uncles at christmas, it is quite literally what it says on the cover. I find it to be quite useful when I'm doing some background reading on a certain way of the body.
Next to that we have Fashion, published by DK (Dorling Kindersley) I picked this book up at The Works whilst in Evesham. I'm not particularly 'into' fashion but I do quite enjoy looking at the photo's (it helps me to decide if I would realistically enjoy to live in the Edwardian time or not.)
Moving swiftly on to my complete collection of Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne and my copy of Classic tales of Beatrix Potter.The Collection of Winnie the Pooh Stories and Poems was given to my parents by my grandparents just before I was born, as was the Classic Tales of Beatrix Potter (probably) I love both of these books, particularly because of the illustrations. The tale of Mrs Tiggy Winkle is one of my favourites (I have a thing for hedgehogs, no thanks to Martin Freeman and Tumblr.)
The next three books are: The Usborne Junior Illustrated Maths Dictonary, (embarrassingly) The Sims Medieval official game guide and Al Seckel's Incredible Visual Illusions. I bought the Maths guide quite a few years ago now in year six and have kept it merely for reference because my mathematical skills are appalling. The Sims guide is my mum's, it's on my bookcase for safe keeping and my illusions book was picked up at a charity shop and happens to be one of my favourite things to look at when bored *takes a break from writing to look through the book.*
*Back.* The final four books on this half of the shelf are: Spider-Man: Happy Birthday and Spider-Man & The Spinster Six by Stan Lee and Michael Straczynski, Grey's Anatomy by Henry Gray F.R.S, The Oxford Popular School Thesaurus and The Children's British History Encyclopedia by Nicola Barber and Andy Langley. If you read my 'Me?' page, you'll know that I enjoy Marvel film's- however, I'm totally clueless when it comes to the comics so I "borrowed" the Spider-Man book from my youngest brother. My copy of Grey's Anatomy and the History Encyclopedia were both bought for me by my nan because I'm interested in history and the possibility of becoming a Doctor!
That is it for now my fellow friends of the interweb! I shall leave you with my song of the blog post: Hooked on a feeling by Blue Swede
I'm out of here white tailed deer- L
