Girl on Book Action: Sexy Bookshelves, Installment 2

It's that time again, my sunflowers!  Time for another post showcasing delicious, sexy bookshelves.  This month, you get to see one, yes only one, of my very own shelves.  To assist me in telling you about my shelves, I've recruited the ever-lovely Morrigan and my sadistic paramour, Pinhead.

Here you see the top two shelves, and you may notice that the shelf actually begins with the letter "Do."  That's because "A-Da" are on a different shelf.  As you can see, Morrigan disapproves -12 of my collection of LKH novels, and well, she's right to do so.
 The bottom two shelves are less embarrassing to share with the general public, but their contents led to a duel between Pinhead and Morrigan - both wanted to claim the delicious and unsettling works of Caitlin R. Kiernan for themselves.  I can tell you - it was a bloody, horrific battle and neither of them won.  Thankfully, none of the books were harmed.
 My cat decided to make an appearance in the pictures!  Her expression clearly states "Wow, you sure are a crazy lady!"  Not only can you see the whole shelf in this picture, you can also see parts of the "to-be-read" table.  Also, Pinhead has claimed the higher ground, while Morrigan roams the lands of Katharine Kerr and Caitlin R. Kiernan, turning irritating former templars into toads when the need arises (no, neither Katharine Kerr nor CRK write about templars).

One last picture, taken this week to show how the shelf has been reorganized recently.  Look at all that empty space waiting to be filled up!  I best go do some reading.

If you'd like to see your very own sexy shelves here, please do send them to us (girlonbookaction at gmail dot com).  We need our fix, you know!

Girl on Book Action: Sexy Bookshelves!

Every so often we here at Girl on Book Action like to do something new to jar you out of your regular routine of reviews.  Personally, I'm hoping that this will become a semi-regular feature in these parts, as there is little that titillates me more than sexy bookshelves (I mean...*sigh* never you mind!).

First, we have the shelves of none other than Handsome Dan from Down Under, whom you might remember from his excellent guest review of Xombi (clicky here to have a look-see).

He writes:

As you can see my Bookshelf acts like a shrine to nearly every nerd aspect. Video Games, Comics, Books, Movies and Role Playing games.

Included amongst the various documents and footage files are toys that I've accumulated over the years. Highlights would be a plush Count Von Count and a Chibi Freddy Krueger.

This bookshelf just screams, "Help I need a life!"


I, Doomwench, disagree with that last statement, but perhaps I'm not the best judge of that.



Next, the enviable shelves of our good friend Jen (you can find her blog Suburban Pagan on the side bar or clicky the name):


I don't think this particular set of shelves needs a blurb.  Just stare in envy as I'm doing right now, readers.

*happy sigh*  Are you ready for more?  Because I certainly have more to show you.

The lovely Mallory sent us these treasures:








Wonderful, aren't they?  Hark, I think I hear the sound of contentment emanating from book lovers everywhere.

Now, don't you wish you could have your own shelves on display?  To have people salivating about your overflowing bounty?  Or fainting at the pristine organization of your most prized possessions?  Well, fear not!  We would love to see your own arrangements!  You can e-mail them to us at any time (the higher res the better for proper ogling), with or without blurb (though you risk me blurbing for you) and we'll include them in the next titillating sexy bookshelf post.
