My craft/writing room. I have only a select number of books that I have kept over the years and they are proudly shelved where my jewelry making supplies and quilting stash are stored, with my writing table. These things make me the happiest.

The bedrooms contain the most books that actually get read, having one or two bookshelves each. But the living room has bags of books bought at book sales that never found a place and books that have been left out after being read, so it probably has the most reading material even if said reading material is rarely read.

Right now two rooms are tied for having the most books, my son's room and the living room. Both of those rooms have book shelves in them but I am soon to get a book shelf for my room and then my bedroom will have the most books. And if I have my laptop in my bedroom with all the ebooks I have on that, I will have double the amount of books in any other room.

If I had to think about all the places that I carry my books (Kindle books not included!), I would have to say that it would be in a big box in my bedroom closet. I know, weird place to keep books, however I don't have a bookshelf and my house is so very limited on space that they must stay in the box in the closet! I like to shuffle through every now and again and find a favorite to reread.

My room and my mom's study...though the dining room, living room, parents' room, and basement have a lot of bookcases crammed in them too.

Bedroom. 3 large bookshelves and 2 cases of books under the bed. I keep telling myself I need to narrow down but these are my favorites. My boyfriends tells me I'm addicted. Guess there are a lot worse things I could be addicted to :)

Well let me think. There are actually many places. I have books all over the house. The first spot, where you will find most of my books, are in the exercising room/library. My families exercising equipment is in the center of the room, while there are book shelves along the walls. All of them are filled with books. Whenever we fill up those, we add more shelves. Another place I keep books is on the coffee table next to the couch because that's where I read during the day time. I also have books on and inside my nightstand for when I am reading in bed. I have the more exciting books in the living room, and the calmer books in my room, the ones I know will have happy endings. I don't like reading anything scary right before I go to bed. If I read anything suspenseful, I prefer to do it during the day.
