How To Love Your Bookshelf

         How To Love Your Bookshelf


At the Book Corner we really love the bookshelves that we have in our rooms and believe that everyone's bookshelf should represent who they are as a person.


For example if you like to crack jokes and say funny things your bookshelf probably will have joke books, funny stories and comedy books.


What is very important about your bookshelf is that you like the books on it and that you would read any of them right now.


It often happens that you are looking for a book to read and you notice that you have outgrown your books. If this is happening to you it might be time to update your bookshelf.


In order to update your bookshelf, you first look at your bookshelf and then you take off any books that you wouldn’t read again.


Then you go down to your local charity shop or sell them at a car boot sale. After that you might want to get some new books so you might want to go down to your local bookshop or to an online shop [like ours!]


Once you have a bookshelf full of books that you like you are one step closer to loving your bookshelf. To improve your bookshelf even further, you could organise your books in a way that you can see all of your books.


To do this you must find a way to organise your books in a way that you will remember and you can see the books you can read. You can organise it any way that you like but our recommendations would be either by alphabetic order or by the order of the way you want to read


When you have done this you will not only have a neat and tidy bookshelf but one that represents who you are. This means that you are a little bit closer to loving your bookshelf as much as we do.


After this you might want to find a way to keep track of the books that you have read of your shelf. You can do this in a list that you could stick beside your bookshelf or online on a website like Goodreads.


Did you know that the bookshelf at home doesn't have to be the only bookshelves that you have. If you use online libraries you can put books that you want to read onto bookshelves and then when you have time to read the book, it’s right there on your bookshelf.

We think that, if you follow even one of our suggestions you will love your bookshelf as much as we both love ours! We really hope that you try some of our suggestions, if you do tell us how it goes in the comments


Is there any other way that you have found that help you to love your bookshelf more than you did before. If so tell us those in the comments as well.


Happy Reading

Reading by Neassa

 Hey guys, it's Neassa. I don't really have a specific topic for this post, so I'm just gonna talk all things reading. Why am I doing this, you might ask? Well, it's because reading books isn't confined to one subject, so neither is this post. I am often asked, why reading? Why are you a bookworm when you could be a gamer or a sportswoman? Well, firstly I can still be a gamer or a sportswoman and still be a bookworm ! It's not a job or a commitment, it's just for fun.  And why reading? If I'm completely honest, I'm not sure. I really can't remember a time when I wasn't surrounded with books whether I was reading them myself or having them read to me by m parents, so I have been enjoying stories for years ,and I just never stopped! I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I also like writing short stories. I would love to write a novel, and am really excited about that. I like writing because I like to try and cover topics I lik...

How To Buy Books For And With Your Child

  A key component of reading is, well, books! And if your child doesn’t have any they want to read they won’t read. Period. So it is vital that your child has access to books they want to read. All The. Time. Especially if they are hesitant to read in the first place. With this in mind, I have created a list of hints and tips to help your child to pick books for themselves, along with some bonus tips on how to pick books for them yourself. No pressure to pick Make sure your child knows there is no pressure to pick a book at all. You are just going for a look, and if they pick it’s a bonus.  This can help to pick more enjoyable books as they are likely to buy books they actually want to read, rather than picking books for the sake of it. Money Is No Object At least at first, focusing on the price of the books will deter your child from picking the more expensive ones, that they may want more. While many book shops can be expensive, we would argue that it is worth it to encourag...

The Future

  hvhgrdkhgs;igfvrs/gsvh.dc\k.hvzouesnzvzh’zafbj/zfhf;dhuhufdz;;bzxdc’uszfd.ghdzshgf That was me getting myself to type. It is difficult to know how to start these things sometimes. I’ve decided to keep it in the post anyway to show you guys that we are not perfect and to be more authentic. Another personal post today. It is approaching a whole year since we launched this business. I cannot believe it. Sometimes still have to shake myself and say: I have a BUSINESS. Selling BOOKS. I am living the dream. And I have all these people (you guys!) behind me who believe in us and are getting benefit from our books and our content. It is amazing to think how far we’ve come. But today I’m going to focus on the future. I’m going to talk about my hopes, dreams and wishes for this business, which I hope can become my lifetime job. I think that reading is extremely important. I think it is why I am where I am today. It is how I learn and grow. It is my everything, and running a business that s...
