Loved your responses to this one, Debs! Great to see the rest of the Book Shack 😀Fab little den you've got there. I'm just preparing my answers for my own responses, and you and I share the same view on white bookshelves... we have big set in our living room, and they are an absolute nightmare for dust! Sure they make our dark living room a little brighter, but I'm not a fan of the amount of cleaning they require! Gorgeous cover picks - as you'd expect, I'm also a fan of the linocut style cover art 😉Great video!
I did actually think of you with that first linocut cover 😊. I do love my little book shack, it is really cosy and it is also very private… apart from the cat. I’ll look forward to your version and I agree, white bookshelves suck 😂😂
Absolutely agree on your answer to “too many books”!
😂. Definitely no such thing
Hi Debs. The face that accompanied "He drops it on my head. Just saying" was hilarious 😅😅!
I have been conked on the head so many times 😂😂
I loved the covers of the books with churches and landscapes. The spider on the horror book was terrifying.
When I put them all together I couldn’t believe how similar they were 😊. Absolutely no need for that spider!
That's so funny, I looked at the first two books with lovely covers and thought 'Steeplechasing' has a cover like that and lo and behold it's the third book!
I certainly seem to have a style that I like. I didn’t even realise how similar they were until I saw them all together 😂
Impressive collection. I also love the covers you choose, especially the J L Carr. I am attracted to houses on covers or gates, don't know why, just like them very much. I really enjoy hearing about and seeing book collections.
Thanks 😊. Funny isn’t it, I like churches but had no idea those book covers would be so similar
I love the book shack, Debs! Wonderful to see all the way around it. I'm sorry that Phil drops his phone on your head, but your telling the story did make me laugh out loud. I can totally see you rearranging all of the furniture in your daughter's bedroom as she slept. I love the covers on the books that you chose as ones that you love, and yes, you definitely do have a style.
I love my book shack too ❤. I suppose I should think myself lucky Phil doesn’t use his iPad to read 😂😂
I very much enjoyed your video today Debs. You had me laughing and I loved the tour of your library. Thanks for sharing my friend. 😊
Thank you so much for tagging me. I really enjoyed doing this tag 😊
I really loved the covers you chose to show us - the way they built on eachother was really lovely. I've also got some shelves that I screwed into the wall. They've been up for about 2 or 3 years, but I'm still convinced that they'll come crashing down sooner or later!
It’s weird because it wasn’t until I’d collected them up and put them on the table together that I realised how similar they were. But then the progression became obvious. This is obviously a style I enjoy very much 😊
Nice to get a full look around the shack!
It’s in a bit of a mess at the moment but still my favourite place 😊
I loved seeing your setup. I know you feel it’s not enough but it looks great.
It’s a bit chaotic at the moment David but it’s a lovely cosy place and I do enjoy it 😊
I’m with you on spiders. I couldn’t have that book in the house.
Hideous isn’t it 😊
Interesting answers Debra. Funnily enough no one that has done the tag so far says they write their name in their books, or indeed the price paid. Two UA-cam Channel makers have said however they might well write the price paid in the future. For why indeed? It is certainly not an ideal reason to pick out a book from your shelves.
It was a great tag Richard and fun completing it 😊
Fun video, Debs. I'd advise against reading John Wyndham's Web if you are an arachnophobe. I don't like book covers that are from the movie and 'stickers' that can't be removed, either.
Thanks Jim. I’ll remember to avoid Web. I’m glad we are in agreement about movie covers and ‘stickers’ 😊
