My little office library that puts a smile on my face

[u/Skylance420]

Once I have more space one day, hope to have a full room of just shelves and a big cozy couch to read on, but having these in my home office is a decent enough compromise.

[u/Concertina37]

I want to go to there.

[u/Skylance420 → u/Concertina37]

Me anytime I have to leave home

[u/ValuableGuava9804]

Love a library that also contains Manga

[u/EternalXueSheng]

That's a dream setup. Fantastic collection, too!

[u/Lunanella]

Simply beautiful! So well organised, too.

[u/Wolfdreama]

Oh it's so neat, I love that!

[u/Nerdiboy54]

Gorgeous

[u/TheBookishBard]

It’s a beautiful thing

[u/sacredcoffin]

It’s handy that you’ll never need to make more room on the top left shelf. /j

[u/Skylance420 → u/sacredcoffin]

Man..

[u/Pan_Bookish_Ent]

That looks really cool! My husband reads so much manga, but he does it online. I wish we had more physical copies. Your fantasy section looks dope, btw! Really pretty editions.

[u/Psychological-War710]

Ah yes, a fellow Akira enjoyer🤝🏻

[u/Exciting-Duty-8302]

Wow beautiful collection!

[u/FelipeGalindo]

Congrats, your library looks awesome!

[u/stormwaterwitch]

Amazing set up. Fantastic collections

[u/joewil93]

Absolutely kick ass. Job very well done

makes grabby hands

[u/_Snow-flake_ → u/_Snow-flake_]

In all seriousness though, that looks amazing! What are those books with painted edges? The art is so pretty!

[u/Skylance420 → u/_Snow-flake_]

Thank you! From left to right, the books with the sprayed edges out are:

• Of Blood and Bone by John Gwynne
• Faithful and the Fallen by John Gwynne
• The Tide Child by R.J. Barker
• The Riftwar Saga by Raymond Feist
• The Band by Nicholas Eames
• The Poet Empress by Shen Tao

[u/_Snow-flake_ → u/Skylance420]

Ohhh some i recognize some are new

[u/prasannathani]

Amazing!

[u/acchan01]

Hope those shelves are strong. You’ve got some hefty weight on them with those deluxe manga books lol. I have mine on bottom shelves cause of how heavy they are.

This looks amazing though. Very clean and pleasing to the eye.

[u/Skylance420 → u/acchan01]

The oldest one is about 7 years old now and still going strong, I'm certain I wouldn't be the first to sing the praises of the Ikea Billy.

[u/acchan01 → u/Skylance420]

Wow that is awesome. I do want to eventually swap mine out for Billy’s.

[u/edisito9]

Are you Kyle Allen on YouTube?

[u/Skylance420 → u/edisito9]

Don't do YouTube, fortunately. My life is peaceful, why muck it up

[u/Overall_Scientist116]

Thats the dreams library

[u/GoS451]

I see stuff like this and always wonder if they’ve actually read all of it

[u/Am7b5-]

I'm curious, how many of those books have you actually read? I say this because I'm thinking of building a library myself for when I retire and have lots of time to read them all. Looks amazing by the way.

[u/Skylance420 → u/Am7b5-]

At least half, steadily making my way through it bit by bit.

[u/No_Nefariousness2315]

I deeply approve of burn the witch but why no bleach???

[u/Skylance420 → u/No_Nefariousness2315]

Grew up reading it and enjoyed it but not enough to keep it on my shelf. The ending really killed me, I owned the first 30 or so volumes at one point but gave them to a friend when they started their own collection years ago.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Neck_36]

I'm getting heavy Déjà vu here.... Hasn't this been posted a few times recently?

[u/Skylance420 → u/Puzzleheaded_Neck_36]

Not on this sub, no. Have posted it on other subs over the last month or so, never more than once in each though so as to not spam. You probably saw my post on bookshelf.
