During Christmas 2012, I received a copy of My Ideal Bookshelf from Geri and David. I came up with a bookshelf of my own favorites and loved all the comments I received from people about what books would be on their ideal bookshelves. I think I used my selection for my banner in 2013, or maybe part of it, or maybe for just part of the year? I used to replace banners (mastheads?) frequently.
I thought I’d share the cover of the book again because of the titles the authors gave the books in their illustration. It’s probably impossible to list one book in any category–reading experiences and reactions can be fluid depending on our age, circumstances, memories–but feel free to share a category and which book in your reading history fulfills it. Or put your answer on your social media and let me know in comments so I can drop by there.
If the photo’s hard to read, the categories are: “My Favorite Book,” “Book That Changed My life,” “The Book I Read Again and Again,” “The Book I Love The Most,” “The Book That Made Me Who I Am,” “The Best Book I Ever Read,” and “The Book That Makes Me Cry Every Time.”
My own shelf as a I curated it in early 2013.
