Okay, so this post is for book geeks like me

BOOKS.  They're amazing things, admit it, who doesn't want to enter some alternate reality every once in a while?  DISCLAIMER: I know the pics are horrible.  Maybe sometime in the future I'll get around to taking shots during the day, but hey, I got hit by precis fever.  Also note conglomeration of random broken dragons on top of shelf.  I'll have to post on them.  Someday.  No promises.  Description of shelf below picture of shelf.  =)Okay, let's get on with it, shall we?  This is the wizarding shelf.  Wait no, this is the HARRY POTTER shelf.  In its entirety, with the exception of my third copy of Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone, which isn't here right now, but hey, I can read one of the other two copies, right? This, uh, is the supernatural fantasy shelf.  In case you couldn't tell, it goes Fablehaven, Twilight series, Septimus Heap (1, 4, 5.  2 and 3 I have on ebook), Percy Jackson (1-4, five is on ebook), The Fire Within, Eragon and Brisingr (Eldest is on ebook), Dragonology Handbook Companion.  Uh, yeah, I'm a bit old for a lot of this stuff, but whatever, I can never get enough supernatural fantasy.  Sometime, I'll have to go into detail on these serieses... now THAT would be a fun post.Classics: Charlotte and Emily Bronte, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Louisa May Alcott, Baroness Orczy, L. M. Montgomery, James Herriot.  All that stuff. Random!  Y'know, the stuff everyone should have, like Alice in Wonderland, Daddy Long-Legs, baby-name books (crucial to writers, trust me, tacky as it may seem... baby name sites work as well, but there's nothing like a book), My Side of the Mountain, the dictionary... Warriors shelf (plus Redwall).  This was the staple of junior high reading for me--- I, my brother, and a friend of ours were seriously obsessed with the series!  Then their writing got bad (and I, uh, became a teenager) and I stopped.  It's still around, for when the cats-fighting-in-the-forest phase hits the youngest siblings.  Also, ancedote, my friend and I marked all the cat-romance sections (cat-romance?  Now it's like EWWW!), while we said we liked this (we did, at the time) I think it was possibly to irk my brother, who hated this gunk.Torrey Academy books (plus that beautiful thing called the Bible).  I do have more TA books, but they are currently nearer to my desk. Animal guides.  I read these to ridiculous amounts in and before junior high.  I could identify pretty much any breed of dog, and guess at mixes.  I still get the "what dog breed is that?" question, but the most common answer is now "Uh, I dunno."Craft books, poetry, summarized classics.  Also a junior high staple.  Don't do much with them now; I've refined a lot of my art style (though I'll never finish adding to that!).  I hated the first book when I was young.  It creeped me out.  Also, note Shel Silverstien, "Where the Sidewalk Ends."  Also one of the books that creeped me out.  I've never been a poetry person, but this was one of the thing that freaked me out majorly.  The summarized Shakespeare---I almost told my mum not to buy it for me, but she did, and I ended up loving it.  I actually do use some Shakespeare now, for um, classified reasons.  101 Dalmatians---another favorite as a child.  I've still got a few kiddie books, see?

Realistic Fiction and library books (all realistic fiction, funnily enough, with the exception of Artemis Fowl.  Which is hilarious and definitely for boys, but hey, there goes my tomboy side again).

Bored yet?  Yeah, I thought so.
