Shelfie Time... 'The week is done, finally...' Edition

It's been a 'bit of a week' and to be honest, I'll be glad to see the back of it. Good job it's Friday then ;o)  With various bits and pieces going on (mostly around tying up loose ends at work before I leave), my reading hasn't exactly hit a brick wall but it has slowed right down with the usual dose of 'inability to focus' and so on. I'll get it back though, I always do.

In the meantime, and while I'm trying to figure out which pieces of work can be completed/handed over, I thought I'd revisit a series of posts that I haven't touched since March last year. Yep, it's time once again for me to show off a couple of shelves and see if I can come up with some 'interesting facts' about them. It might even remind me to actually read some of these books. Wish me luck... 

Not so much a 'shelfie' then, I lost the final remaining shelf (in the move) so this is more of a... I don't know... It's wooden and it holds books but I'm a little hesitant to call it a bookcase without at least one shelf in it. I'll have to get back to you on that one.

Anyway, what we're looking at here is a great example of a set of books; some of which have been read while most of them were picked up (somewhere) with every intention of being read, until something else caught my eye. It's a similar problem for my other shelves but this one feels a little more so somehow ;o) I'm having a little 'tidy-up', in the flat, and now this part of the living room is a little more visible, maybe I'll get to some of these books. Maybe... 

But, you're here for five interesting facts aren't you? Lets see if I can come up with some (3 out of 5 is the 'pass mark')...

1) I have a real soft spot for John Jakes' 'Brak the Barbarian' series, so much so that I will quite happily give a home to a hardback copy of a book that I already have in paperback. This is the reason why my flat is filling up with books. Well, one reason... ;o)

2) Somewhere in these pictures is a book that I started, read the ending and freaked myself out to the point where I've never read the bit in the middle. I really should do something about that.

3) Somewhere else, in these pictures, is a book that I've read to my daughters every Christmas for the last, I've lost count :o) The funny thing is that it isn't a 'Christmas Book' at all, not even a little bit Christmassy. Christmas traditions can be strange sometimes...

4) If you're wondering whether I survived the Zombie Apocalypse, of course I did. It was easy ;o) 

5) And finally, one of these books belongs to my youngest daughter; she really wants me to read it and... I might.

And that's your lot :o) Is there anything here that you'd like me to bump up the TBR pile? Leave a comment and let me know.
