Things I love: Book Stacks

I love buying books and as much as I would love to have a Kindle one day there is just something about stacking books that appeals to my eye. I love to stack books around my house for cheap and easy ways to add charter to my home. I have stack of books in almost every room of my house and rotate them with the seasons or my mood. Here are some of my book stacks that I have piled around the house.
Beautiful Classics.


They can help a room form a theme. These are the books I have in the Dude room (too bad they are all my books, sans the Arnold one).
Fashion Books are some of my favorite to collect! I have many of them that I rotate to inspire me.
You know I have Barbie books!

Sucked In

About this time last year I sucked got into the uber popular Twilight series. The hype for the move was everywhere and I knew I would get dragged to see it. But I am adamant about reading books before I see movies, so I broke down and read Twilight. It was a quick, guilty pleasure read. Then I went and saw the movie and thought it was "eh". So I moved on. Well once again the movie is everywhere and I have to admit the second movie looks much better. I am not sure if it is the story line or just more vested into the movie, either way once again I am reading the book before the movie comes out. I only started it last night and my book mark indicates I am not very far in. We shall see. I'm sure it won't stand up to the Lost Symbol but I had to wait a few years for that book. I was though, impressed by the wedding dress sketches I saw on InStyle for The New Moon movie. I absolutely loved the backless one by Prabel Gurung. I guess this means there will be a wedding. I am going to keep on reading to find out...
