Here are additional interesting ways to hide your book stash decorate with books. They can be put in lots of places, not just on shelves. I used this set of Monica Ferris’ Needlecraft Mysteries as a display in my sewing room on the mantle over the fireplace.
A tiny quilting book is in the lap of a little bear in his rocker.
Up in the library, a trio of rabbits looks at a book with pretty watercolor pictures.
A dark corner of a Victorian shelf holds a stack of books waiting to be read.
Next to the gas fireplace is another tall stack, no they don’t get hot here.
The bedside table of the guest room holds a bedside reader, a big book with short stories for guests to enjoy.
Corners otherwise ignored become little places to store a few books in line for reading.
This little mouse reads his book on the shelf under a side table.
Hope that gives you some new ideas. Now you have seen a large part of my To-Be-Read pile too. The stacks are mostly in the queue. I didn’t show you the 8 bookshelves and two other library tables holding more books. Yep, I like books!!
Where do you put your books?
From My Carolina Home 
Have you thought of making a lamp out of some “not to be read” books? I had hubby drill a hole through 4 or 5 books to make the base. Turned out real cute.
I enjoy Jan’s books.
Every time you feel yourself being pulled into other peoples drama, repeat these words “Not my circus, Not my monkey” (polish proverb)

I love the little rabbies and the cute bear too.
I have a nice collection of Boyd’s animabibbles.
And lots of books on shelves.
I just love that you love books…real books…lol I chuckled when i read…” not my circus, not my monkey ” lol
ps. we have a huge library…all of our books are in one room
I have a library as well, but I’ll bet yours is bigger or I wouldn’t have to hide my stash all over the house!
