I found a blog series all about what is on other people’s bookshelves!

I felt like I had suddenly found many kindred spirits and it inspired me to share some of the more extreme things I have done because of books.

Check out the series at Modern Mrs. Darcy’s blog.

1. When I moved down to Oklahoma to go to school I felt lonely and lost. My parents came down to visit, brought my books, and a bookcase to display them. It made me feel at home and happy to go to my apartment each night.

2. When I first went to my now husbands apartment I was impressed with his book collection. I am not saying that is the only reason I kept seeing him but…

3. I went to meet my soon to be in-laws for the first time. I saw my mother in-laws bookcases filled with books and liked her immediately.

4. I might have pursued a friendship with someone after finding out they were an Austen fan. I felt like we had a mutual friend.

5. Right after we got married my husband made me bookshelves to fill our spare room with and turn it into a library. I still think of it as one of the best gifts I have ever received.

6. I often stop myself from talking about something a friend of mine did because I realize it was a fictional charter in a book and not someone I have actually met…

7. My husband learned early on that I hear nothing when I am reading.

8. Sometimes I get so into a book that I start reading the characters lines out loud…
