nook of books

a little nook of books.

i am still unpacking from my move, but one of the first things i did was put together my bookshelf.  yes, it is overflowing, and yes, it is color-coded.  the bookshelf is ancient and falling apart.  but i love this sunlit corner i've made for myself - it just makes me so happy to see all of the physical books displayed in my apartment nook.  (speaking of nooks, i still don't own one.  or a kindle.  i like printed books.  i think it stems from my childhood - i grew up with books all over the house.  my dad is a voracious reader.)  on the wall, i have a collection of prints: a poster from the first concert i attended in minneapolis more than 3 years ago with my good friend v; this print from jane mount's "ideal bookshelf" series; and a postcard of this sculpture from the walker art center that i picked up with my parents when they were in town.  oh, and the design*sponge at home book because the cover is soo pretty and anchors the whole coral-red thing i have going on.
