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

Welcome

Hi! Welcome to the Book Corner Blog. This is a blog all about children’s books. As children ourselves we are experts on the subject and we want to share our knowledge with all of you. We know that many children associate reading with school. We hope that this can change since there are so many books out there that are nothing to do with school but still very, very good. On our blog we hope to introduce children and young adults to books that they will want to read instead of ones they think they should read. We are also hoping to include some author interviews. We have so many questions to ask the authors of our favorite books. There are some books that you read and they just fill you up with questions. We want to get answers to those questions. We hope that our blog will cover those topics as well as many more. We will try to post at least once a week and we would be overjoyed if you were to read some of them.  Saoirse and Neassa at The Book Corner

Why you don’t like reading

           Why you don’t like reading In this blogpost we are going to talk about a lot of common reasons why people don’t like reading and how to get around these problems. We know that there are so many different reasons that people don’t like reading and we are only going to cover the basic ones. Teachers Teachers are actually a huge problem when it comes to children reading. They often make their classes read books that they don’t want to read as part of their work. These books are usually classics or books that are quite complicated and very “wordy” [meaning that they have a lot of words and phrases that are uncommon or rarely used]. Not all teachers are like this, though. When I [Saoirse] was in sixth class [fifth grade] I read “Holes” by Louis Sachar. This turned out to be one of my favourite books so that ended up being a good thing. Another problem with teachers is that they rarely have very good or interesting books in their class library. For us, this is a big problem becaus

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
