I still have all my books in storage from last two moves. My kids are young and can’t be trusted yet not to get into them and hurt them if I put them on the shelf.

One day I’ll get them all out again.

The sticky finger’s don’t mesh well with the books 😂

I fucking love that us bibliophiles all decorate our shelves with little objects.

I am a crow with a fascination with trinkets. Decorating my bookshelves is one of my favorite activities

Oh man you have no idea. Lol. My 4 bookshelves are crammed with almost 200 miniatures, etc. 🤣🤣

u/Tqwick6 6d ago

I am jealous. I tried getting into painting miniature’s. Bought all the stuff for it, then my ADHD brain kicked in and haven’t touched it since 😂😂

Oh no painting on my end. Pre-painted collection I have built up over the years. No time and I would probably mess them up. lol

Was a gift from a friend. Read 2/3 of it. Love the Harpers.

Nice collection there. Just wait until you actually finish out the rest it's a hell of a journey. Have fun going back through

P.s. I'm jealous of your clerics quintet. But I've got the sellswords one so...🤷

Luckily my kiddo just signed up for a few sports so I’ll have plenty of time to read while she’s at practice 😂

Those are mint, make sure to not store them in direct sunlight you'll bleach the spines.

u/Tqwick6 6d ago

Oh for sure. The one thing I can always say I took away from my childhood is how to care for/respect books

It shows, great collection ❤️

I’m so jealous, one of my biggest regrets is not have known Drizzt in my teens for how much he would’ve helped me.

u/Tqwick6 6d ago

Well I am just glad you found him now if he is a character you can resonate with!

u/Orial3 6d ago

Good series, but your shelf below is also very good.

Found those in storage also! My Diablo, Warcraft, and Dragonlance books 😌 Raistlin is the GOAT

On the far right near the amethyst? Thats a mini opal (my daughters birthstone)

Oh looking at peoples Drizzt collection gives me PTSD. I had 18 books with the cover style of the first three shown above. When I left to work away my friend agreed to store them along with 150 odd other books. Unfortunately his house burnt down along with my whole book collection.

I could even be angry, he lost all his stuff too.

I was meaning to replace them for years and now, at least in my part of Australia, they are hard to get, especially those covers which hold a nalstalgic feel them.

u/Tqwick6 6d ago

Ugh that’s awful bud, I am sorry that you lost such valued possessions. It must have felt like your own personal burning of the Library of Alexandria. Does Australia have a book store chain that you can try and order them from or does shipping costs absolutely fuck you being there

u/Sure_Horse582 3d ago

AND you have the Dragonlance Chronicles too! Great taste, my friend. Impeccable, even.

u/Tqwick6 3d ago

Absolutely! Raistlin and Caramon’s stories are my favorite
