  1. One of my other hobbies is collecting old travel books. By "old", I mean 100+ years. Most are from the "Peeps At Many Lands" range, published between 1904 and 1934.

    I started it on a whim. Now it feels like an act of rebellion.

  6. Members of our Folk Horror Revival Facebook group helped with this article!

    It's such a seminal book for a generation. I found my parent's copy lurking on their shelves, and then accidentally destroyed the dust jacket by carrying around with me in my school bag.

    Bonus #shelfie of its current home.

  7. This book was worth losing the only bookshelf I had. People who value possessions more than people still have that bookshelf, while I have someone who wanted to get to know me better just because I'd read this book, too.

    My grandmother had given me one of a pair of bookshelves she had before she died. Several years later, my parents wanted it. They had always been selfish and abusive, but this was a new low. My grandmother had left them money, but they wanted the set. I was in need of a new apartment, a permanent job, and friends I could count on, because I only ever heard from family when they wanted something. I let them take my bookshelf. I never heard from them again.

    That same week, I got a date with a man I met at a music shop. I asked him about AI, which led to a discussion of books that explain it well, including The Science of Discworld. I could tell he was about to mention how Terry Pratchett described homo sapiens, so I asked "Pan Narrans?" On our date, he said he'd asked me out specifically because he was amazed that "The Storytelling Ape" made sense to me, too.

    After our second date, I moved in with him. I had no bookshelves, but I had my favorite books, and now I had a man who also thought books and people who read them matter more than furniture, too.

    Well as your #shelfie appeared in my TL via @Anoia & you seem to be from foreign parts😜 you might not have seen #GNUTerryPratchett bookshelves as they were displayed in the Salisbury exhibition almost a decade ago.⤵️

    The Specialist in the 3rd photo was one of the books that had excerpts read from in when pTerry did the Radio 4 Xmas With Great Pleasure unfortunately not currently available but one of his other Radio 4 appearances is:-

    Desert Island Discs
    bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00944ry

    Sadly his "The Museum of Curiosity" appearance is also not currently available on the BBC site but I have a vague recollection that it might be available in some kind of Archive not mentioning No names, no pack drill😜

  23. Part of one of my bookshelves. This one is in my room. I need to get pics of the others, but there’s overflow of my own books on them!

  28. It is not Sunday but I’m still posting a shelfie today. Mainly because I want to show off these antique Victorian bookends my husband gave to me as an anniversary gift.
