My grandpa made me this bookshelf as a graduation gift. Not all my books will fit on this shelf so I have more books on another shelf and combined with the family books downstairs.
Do you have any special or different ways of organizing your books?
Not really. Although I always keep my books together by either author or by series.
What's the thickest (most amount of pages) book on your shelf?
Systematic Theology
What's the thinnest (least amount of pages) book on your shelf?
The American Girl short story books
Is there a book you received as a birthday gift?
I've gotten quite a few books for birthdays over the last few years. These are some of my favorites.

Again it's the American Girl short stories
What's the biggest (height and width wise) book on your shelf?
Millie, Elsie, and Violet's Life Lessons books
Is there a book from a friend on your shelf?
My friend gave me the Dear America book, My Face to the Wind, for Christmas one year and The Redemption of Sarah Cain for my birthday.
Most expensive book?
Millie's Grand Adventure and Millie's Fiery Trial each cost me quite a bit of money. I started to buy this series once they went out of print and they were harder to find so they were a little spendy, but definitely worth it. : )

The Scent of Cherry Blossoms

Yes, I have two Meet Felicity books. One is Pleasant Company and one is American Girl.

A book you won?
I've never won any books.

The A Life of Faith: Millie Keith series are my most favorite books, but I have let someone borrow them before.
Most beat up book?
Millie's Unsettled Season isn't really beat up, but it has seen better days. You can't really tell in the picture, but the cover does have quite a few creases.
Most pristine book?
Probably the Imposter, it's pretty new.
A book from your childhood?
Maybe Elsie's Endless Wait, I've had that book for quite awhile.
A book that's not actually your book?
20 Most Asked Questions About the Amish and Mennonites and Little House in the Big Woods are actually family books, they are just in my room because I'm in the process of reading them.
A book with special/different cover (e.g. leather bound, soft fuzzy cover etc.)?
Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgean is leather bound.
A book that is your favorite color?
I like the color on the A Life of Faith: Violet Travilla books, but it is not my favorite color of blue.

Yes. Andrea Carter and the Long Ride Home expanded edition, Andrea Carter and the Long Ride Home, and Heartbreak Trail by Susan K. Marlow and One Summer's Desire by Abigail Prigge.

Wow, that's a lot of books! :) You have the whole Millie, Elsie, and Violet series!! Could I borrow the last book of Violet? I've never finished it and I'm dying to find out what happened :P Which series is your favourite? :)
ReplyDeleteHow are the Beverly Lewis books? What are they usually about? I've seen a lot of them where I am, but have never read them before!
Thanks for sharing Rebekah! :)
Out of the "A Life of Faith" books, the Millie ones are, by far, my favorite. : )
DeleteI really enjoy Beverly Lewis' books. She mostly writes Amish fiction.
Thanks for commenting!

ReplyDeleteI have:
Felicity, Kirsten, Addy, Samantha, Molly, Caroline, Circle C Beginnings, Circle C Adventures, and Circle C Milestones, Indiana Cousins, The Discovery, and Rachel Yoder: Always Trouble Somewhere, A Life of Faith: Kathleen McKenzie and Summerhill Secrets.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Faith, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
DeleteJust recently, at a library book sale, I got the Indiana Cousins series. I haven't read them yet though. Did you like them?
By the way, I'm really enjoying your bookshelf tour!
YES!!!! I love those books! :) Especially the first one. "A Cousin's Promise" is one of those books that if I read it every single day for a year I don't think I could get tired of it. :) Books 2&3 are great too! It's an amazing series. You'll really like it I think. ;)
DeleteWow, you have some amazing series! :) I started collecting the Millie Keith series before they went out of print as well, so I paid quite a bit for books 6 and 7. . .I still haven't gotten book 8 yet. :P
ReplyDeleteMy two sisters have collected quite a few of the Violet and Elsie ones as well. They're all sooo good!!! I also have enjoyed working through the three life lesson books. :)
Which of the Beverly Lewis books are your favorite? I haven't really read a lot, but I've heard good things about them! :)
I really like all of the A Life of Faith series too. My favorite is Millie.
DeleteI also really like most of Beverly Lewis' books. My favorites are "The Heritage of Lancaster County" series, "The Rose Trilogy" series, and "Child of Mine".
