Dear Fahrenheit 451

This might be my favorite book of the year. NO LIE! I related to this book on such a personal level. Not just because I'm also a librarian, but her opinion on books, hilarious asides, and love for her profession made me want to become best friends and join a book club with her. For real. Dear Fahrenheit 451 is composed of a bunch of letters written to novels, authors, and series that evoked a strong response from the author. They weren't all positive, some were negative, but ALL of them were witty, funny, and well written. The book manages to be informative, inspiring, and personal without being too judgey which can be a hard line to stay on. My reading list just got longer (alright alright I'll check out The Virgin Suicides!) and I can't wait to read whatever else Annie Spence decides to write.

Gettin' My Nerd On

 

This is my collection of young adult and juvenile books. Note the 

large collection of "Dear America" books. Be insanely jealous. 

 This is the main portion of my books. I don't store anything on the bottom shelves because I'm scared to death that it will flood again and throwing out books is the worst feeling ever.

This is my Vonnegut collection artfully stored on top of my wine rack. I'm starting to run out of room so I'll have to move them elsewhere.

My very small selection of graphic novels and comics. And the sleeping girl in flowers is a print (that I ripped from online, sorry Pickart!) from my very talented friend Ryan Pickart.  

A few random books chilling underneath a glass head filled with scarves.

My collection of DVD's not quite books but they are alphabatized!

My collection of board games. Game night anyone?
