More books on the shelf
In my last post I thought it would be interesting to capture the books on our shelves. And I think think it’s an interesting idea – to have the ability to look back years later and see what books we had in what order. But I’m realizing it’s probably only interesting to us – to me and my family. It’s a lot of hassle to list out all the books and the authors and in the end I haven’t the will to bother to explain how we even came to own these books and whether or not they are even worth reading. So what’s the point? If you don’t know us that well and you care to, then knowing what books we have might help you gain some insight. So it’s worth knowing that the bookshelf is fairly new – we just bought it at the end of last year, and therefore the books that have made it onto the shelf is the literature that we’ve most recently read and/or is closest to our hearts (that’s the theory anyways). I think most of the books on the shelf published today are probably more current to us, closer to what we’ve been reading recently or more of our go-to books for inspiration, coffee table books and such. So I present to you more of the books on our shelf:

Have you seen this blog Richard? http://bookshelfporn.com/
I have, and was most disappointed to find it does not contain any porn.
That’s what I’m talking about though, that’s the kind of setup Kelly and me want in our house one day!
