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

The Future by Neassa

 Hi guys, I know Saoirse wrote a post about her future with the business, what we see happening in the future and where we want this to go. Although I love the sound of here future, I have my own path ahead of me, and it's a bit different. If you haven't read Saoirse's plans, they are: Writing blog posts and maintaining website (year-round, but specifically during COVID and winter) Car boots sales on Saturdays/Sundays during the year and a pop-up stall in summer. (After COVID and while I’m still in school) Pop-up stall as a part-time job (while in college) Actual shop (after graduating) As Saoirse mentioned in her post, right now we are living the dream. Just two normal sisters doing what they love to do. How could that be a bad thing? I am happy and content with we are doing right now, but don't feel as though that will always be the case. I, of course, want to stay a part of this business for as long as I possibly can, but I also have always wanted to be a teacher. I

Reading Consistently: A Quick Guide

Well hello there :), We are gathered today to discuss something that is an amalgamation (spell check? absolutely) of two topics I find quite interesting: reading (obviously) and habit-building. Yes, yes I am a nerd. I have decided to embrace this fact today. I just find it so intriguing how some people have certain habits while some don’t. Of course, many habits are built when someone is a young child, but I think everyone has the power to build new, or change old, habits given the correct tools. So, today I am going to talk about building a reading habit. This is, in my opinion, one of the best habits you can have. It has many benefits, which I’ll do another post on, but briefly some are: increased empathy and vocabulary, better quality sleep and less stress. Just before jumping in, I want to just say: I am no expert. BUT I think I can provide valid advice on building reading habits, as I have a healthy reading habit, experience building my own habits and I have (nerdily) watched coun

Reading indoors vs. Reading outdoors

  Hi all, it’s Neassa and today I’m going to be listing the pros and cons of reading indoors versus reading outdoors, to find out which one reigns supreme! Just to begin, I would like to point out that I enjoy reading indoors and outdoors, so I am curious to see which one will win the battle of the reading spot. Reading indoors: Pros You are always warm and dry When you are reading indoors, the temperature doesn’t change along with the time, so i can begin to read when it was sunny and read straight through a thunderstorm without even noticing. The room will stay heated, I’ll stay cosy (and oblivious at times!) and everything is just right. You have the comfy chairs. I don’t know about you guys, but we have the most comfortable chairs inside. There are a few garden chairs outside, but they are not as comfortable as the big, cushioned chair where I love to curl up with a good book! You can play music When I am reading, I love to play soft, relaxing music that is said to improve concentr
