It's still in the living room so it's moved up a few notches.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-86941051558455485572015-03-24T00:07:12.646+01:002015-03-24T00:07:12.646+01:00I would like to try Kate Morton again someday.

When we lived in the country, my husband built floor-to-ceiling bookcases on two walls. We stained them a transparent blue. They were beautiful with trim on sides. They appeared to be built-ins. At bedtime, I prefer books to be either on my tablet or a paperback. I do like short stories when I'm waiting...in my car, an office, etc.Nonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08623569563122986528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-72683878020362799412015-03-19T21:54:20.706+01:002015-03-19T21:54:20.706+01:00I love short stories!

Ah, the prefect bookcase...you are in for a long sermon now! Growing up, I had what we used to be called a bookcase bed. They were wonderful! The headboard consisted of a bookcase shelf. This was for your glasses, tissues, alarm clock, book you were reading, and even the next couple books you were going to read. Just think of it, no getting out of bed to fumble for your glasses or blow your nose!! Sadly, they are a thing of the past now and found only in antique shops (I guess this makes ME an antique) My friend wanted one so bad that she had one built! So that would be only one of my ideal bookcases.Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.com
