Christine Hanrahan

Books!

At home

A small selection of some of my bookshelves. Memories evoked by books can be manifold. Reading travel books can remind us of where we have been or where we want to go. Other books will take us back to an earlier time, either one we knew, or wish we had known. And some books are like old friends, to be re-read again and again, comforting and friendly.

Impressive collection!

Our bookshelves can tell a lot about who we are and what we love. I used to go to estate sales in Dallas and I always took time to explore the bookshelves and often came home with a book or two.

You are so right...there is nothing like a book in hand. I don't really enjoy reading on the computer. V

I love looking round people's bookcases, you can tell so much about a person by the books they read, and they give a real insight into their lives...this is a fab shot Christine, well done

Books are not only good for reading, they also make fine photographic subjects!

Its funny how a collection of books tells a story of one's life - like you say friends but a read back on us.

Just a small section I see Christine! You obviously collect and read books as I do and why am I not surprised!? A world of lasting and treasured memories well portrayed. V

Wow. No wonder you're so literate, learned and knowledgeable! What wealth of information, and food for the imagination.

I’m definitely commiserating with my more than 1500 books. V

Beaucoup de livres, de quoi occuper des longues soirées d’hiver.

I love looking at other people's bookshelves!
You have a great collection of books and very nicely displayed.

The selection is amazing and I love the little turtle guarding them.

A wonderful collection. The tactile feel of a book is so much more pleasant than that of a kindle. V

From one bilbiophile to another, I must say I love this photo. So nicely presented. You can't have enough books. A home library sure comes in handy during these times. "V"

Great collection! Would love to have a library but like Dennis we don’t have the space. Don’t want to put them in boxes so we find them a home by passing them on to anyone or the public library.
Also thought about starting a Little Free Library (littlefreelibrary.org) but haven’t figured out a site yet.

Have you read them all? Time is running out! V

Great choice ! V.

I see some I have read, I don't have room to keep all the books I bought so they usually end up given
to the local library.

Great collection of life-=enriching books Christine.

A lifetime collection - wonderful.

They are like good friends, you can't have too many.
Dan Greenberg14-Jan-2021 22:13
A very cool and artistic shot of your book collection or at least this small part of it. ~BV~
Isabel Cutler14-Jan-2021 21:44
What better time to read some of these!
globalgadabout14-Jan-2021 20:56
repositories of insights and experiences, knowledge and pleasures...your personal library is impressive..
Helen Betts14-Jan-2021 20:54
Great captures of your collection. I love to collect books but never seem to have the time to read them. V.
