Our Daily Challenge 2-8 November: Bookcase/Bookshelf.
I found it very much trickier than I thought to make an interesting image.
I have hundreds of books which are mainly arranged by subject and size, so the choices are manifold
And of course its all flash indoors at the moment, which I HATE!
There is a slightly more creative one of a different shelf here www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/the-garden-in-winter/2651784

My somewhat more primitive and untidy contribution. Actually, significant contributions from the rest of the family as well.
The mantle bookshelf in the McHuston Bookstore. I pick this as my best/favorite pixel worthy frame of 2021. You may ask why this shot??? I always work at posting a photo that cannot be replicated in a do over shot. The bookstore is in final phases of closing by Christmas 2021, these are old books printed in 1890s to 1920s, they are all gone scattered to the four winds of the internet. I wanted the one book but they declined to sell in store and put them online for best offer. I hope that each found a great home. So this frame cannot be redone with these same books or even the bottle. I really struggled to find which one, I had a lot of good ones but no really stars that stood out.
this was taken by kelsey,and the face under the book is mine.
i really like how this turned out,i just kind of picked up the book and it
fit nicely.
THE AUTHOR OF THIS BOOK COMMENTED THE PHOTO ! :)
i cant take credit for this!!!

These are Buddhist prayer flags that are strung across my bookshelf. Each flag presents a symbol and one word of the Sanskrit mantra 'Om mani padme hum'.
Tibetan Buddhists believe that saying the mantra (prayer), Om Mani Padme Hum, out loud or silently to oneself, invokes the embodiment of compassion. Viewing the written form of the mantra is said to have the same effect -- it is often carved into stones and placed where people can see them.
almost done organizing all my books by colour. i'm thinking of putting all the white covers in another room altogether.
What I mostly wanted as a child was a new book to read on the Christmas holidays. I think the longing must have run in our family, as these volumes belonged to my great Aunts Blanche & Lilly from the early 1900s. Back in the days of no media entertainment and no music unless you made it yourself, these books must have been treasures to them.
This shelf holds some of my most loved books.
From the left we have Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss, which I enjoyed, though it's by no means one of my most loved. Next to that is The Alienist by Caleb Carr and its sequel, The Angel of Darkness. I adored The Alienist, it being about the early days of criminal profiling in late 19th century NYC. Five Children and It, by E. Nesbit, is about five children finding a strange creature on the beach. I read it many, many times when I was a child.
As a pre-teen, I adored Lois Duncan, who wrote I Know What You Did Last Summer, if you've seen the movie. I wasn't too keen on that book; I much preferred Stranger With My Face (the beat-up slim purple volume just to the left of middle), about a set of twins separated at birth who could engage in astral projection.
Yet another Anne McCaffrey volume, this one being The White Dragon, all about Lord Jaxom and his albino dragon Ruth. Jennifer Crusie's Faking It isn't about what you think it is; it's about a family who owns an art gallery. I'm pretty sure their business is counterfeiting works of art, but it's been a while since I read it. I thoroughly enjoyed it, however. And then we have Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All by Allan Gurganus. I really, really loved this book, which is about a woman who married a Confederate veteran when she was 15 and he was 50. She tells her story to a young candy-striper while in a nursing home near the end of her life -- and it's just the type of book I love. Lots of little vignettes held together by a common plot which moves through the main character's life.
I have yet to read The DaVinci Code and bought it primarily because everyone else owned it. But I got it from Costco, so I didn't pay much for it. I haven't read The Handmaid's Tale yet either, but I plan to. The Three Musketeers is an excellent book, even if I end up replaying the movie with Chris O'Donnell in my head as I read.
I really must do something about the books in my house. This is a photo of the top three shelves of a bookcase in my living room. It's a pretty random mixture of things. I've read some of these books but most are unread. Of them, a few will be read in the future and a couple might be re-read. But most will never be read, or even opened, by me. I really must do something about it.

Obviously these aren't all my books. Several of them belong to Grace, including the copy of Charlotte's Web. Mine was paperback. Some of my older books are on this shelf, like Emily Post's Etiquette and First Steps in Cooking. I picked them both up at antique stores.
I also picked up those Shel Silverstein books at the thrift store. Thing is, I totally forgot I already had a copy of A Light In the Attic. My first copy is just out of range of the photo, to the right of the Heinlein book.
To make this shot I used the traditional photographic method of zooming out during the slow exposure. The falling digital photography book was added in Photoshop later at the point of focus. This is really just an exercise in technique and colour. You must decide if it works as an image. Something to do on a cold winter afternoon.

A sample of some of the books on my bookshelf. Some are actually mine, and of those I've even read a few!
