L - Blogging Challenge "Libraries. Dream Home Libraries"

A to Z Challenge is posting every day in April except Sundays (we get those off for good behavior.) And since there are 26 days, that matches the 26 letters of the alphabet. On April 1, blog about something that begins with the letter “A.” April 2 is “B,” April 3 is “C,” and so on.

Today's letter is L.
Libraries. Dream Home Libraries. 

Although the majority of my new book purchases are ebooks, I still have plenty of paperbacks and hardcovers that I covet. 

I would love nothing more than to display my books in a manner that would be similar to what you would see in magazines. That way I could pet my pretties daily. 

Now lets face it, as beautiful as the  Lello Bookstore in Portugal is, who really has a house with room and books like this?

I'd be happy to have a nice simple design like some of these. I love how not only is there a great design element for your books, but excellent reading nooks too!

As you can see by the three examples I have shared, I have no particular style that I lean towards. I always joke with my kids that as soon as they have moved out, they better be sure they aren't coming back because the first one to vacate is having his room transformed into a home library/reading nook. 

Are you lucky enough to have a home library? If not, do you have your books displayed at all?
