Come And See The Real Book Cave!

Hello and welcome to the promised updated tour around my bedroom, otherwise known as The Book Cave! Apologies for the lack of natural light in my room as pretty much none gets in with 9 actual bookcases, so photo quality at some of the corners of the room aren't great!

View from bed to door showing bookcases 1, 2, 3, 4 and edge of bedroom door. The thin brown units beside the door is the one my dad made from 4 cheap corner units to fit snugly in place behind the door! I covered it in stickers to tidy it up a bit!

View from bed showing bedroom door, bookcase 5 and TV unit up to edge of bookcase 6 in the corner. The polar bear thing is a foot massager! I still have to tidy the area around the electric fire and lamp. There are shark NF books, a few apocalypse and tudor books looking for shelf space under a box of DVDS of TV shows I'm recording right now ie Bake Off!

Bookshelf 6, foot of bed, corner of room.

Beside the head of my bed bookcases 7 and 8.

And this is my reading corner showing bookcase 9 and back of bookcase 8!

 Here is a closer look at the actual shelves and what is on them!  

Bookcase 1) IKEA-6 shelves. (red)
This book has a lot of mixed topics. Top shelf are hardbacks, next is mountain expedition non fiction, third assorted fiction and NF, next mainly historical, fifth true story with a few Stephen King, then a shelf with encyclopedias, kid's books and magazine collections. This bookcase still needs to be tidied!

Bookcase 2) IKEA-6 shelves. (grey)
This bookcase holds mostly urban fantasy with the odd thing squeezed in! The second bottom shelf has my large mountain expedition non fiction and the bottom shelf holds outsized non fiction history books.  

Bookcase 3/4) Charity Shop. (pine)
These are the four small corner display units that my dad turned into two bookshelves! This holds my mass market paperback books for series I've still to finish or that books have yet to be published to complete. The top shelf and a half has my favourite horror books that I want to reread and review. I was right against the wall trying to take these so apologies for the quality!

 
Bookshelf 5) IKEA 6 shelves. (blue)
Top three shelves are my zombie fiction collection and the bottom three are my apocalypse fiction collection. The books you can see are unread series or series that I've started but haven't finished reading/series not fully published. Behind these books are rows of completed series in the genre that I have read. 

Bookshelf 6) 2 shelves. 
These are my large encyclopedia books-dinosaurs, battlefields, warfare, books related to TV series and a few prepper manuals. You can see my Egyptian lamp, mirror and Anubis dagger, and on the shelves are various things from Game of Thrones, Elvis and stuff sent by penpals.

Bookcase 7) MFI-3 shelves.  
This one sits under my bedroom window at top of my bed and house my audio cds (Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, IT, Hunger Games trilogy and first Morganville Vampires book), my non fiction prepper manuals, my fiction thrillers and some assorted DVDs (Coronation Street), Harry Potter, Tudors and Jurassic Park/World). 

Bookshelf 8) Argos-3 shelves. 
This is my newish bookcase featuring, at the moment, my fantasy, SF, adventure and Indie horror books at the front! In behind these books are my mass market horror, tudor, thriller, fantasy and SF books. 

Bookcase 9) MFI-5 shelves. (black)
Top three rows are my Tudor and Plantagenet fiction and a few NF, the bottom two house my political and royal non fiction. Can't get a good photo of the bottom shelf but you get my point I think! Behind these books on the top two shelves are videos of 9-11 documentaries and other things like Seconds From Disaster, Air Crash Investigation. Behind the books on the other shelves are my alternative versions of Harry Potter, non fiction paperbacks of true stories and books that are now films.

Now you can see why I call it and my blog Chuckles Book Cave!
