DISCOVERED: The ultimate bookshelf blog

In 2007, I started a blog category called “bookshelf furniture.” I wrote ten entries through 2008, and then my blog's focus turned to other topics.

Last week, I found a wondrous Tumblr blog titled Bookshelf Porn, and I've been inspired to feature them again. (The above image is from BP via Book. Book. Book.)

In spite of its title, there's nothing indecent about the site, though it does feature an obscene amount of bookshelves and related insights, quotations and links to articles. It's a primarily visual and incredibly thorough catalog. Check out its extensive archives.

New question, as we move steadily from print to digital: What could virtual bookshelves for e-books look like? (If a blog paying homage to them existed, it'd probably be pretty short.)

Hello and welcome!

My name is Kristin Gorski. I recently earned my doctorate (EdD) in instructional technology and media. My research focuses on technology and literacies, writing in digital spaces, and how media literacy may support academic literacy (among other incredibly interesting topics). On occasion, I’m also a freelance writer and editor. “Write now is good.” is my personal blog about writing, creativity and inspiration (with healthy doses of technology in relevant places). I started it in blogging's heyday (2006) and still post to it, time permitting. If you'd like to collaborate on a project, have writing/technology/creativity info to share, or want to say, "Hi," contact me at kgwritenow (at) yahoo dot com.
