Book meme - X - Marks The Spot (Start On Your Bookshelf And Count to the 27th Book)

[byslantedlight]

X from snailbones! Bit tricky this, cos my bookshelves are all in fragmented bits around the room at the moment (and really are storage boxes...) But let's see what I can do - I'll start from the highest ones, and count to 27 that way! *g*
And the winner is... Stardust by Neil Gaiman, that I read for my Once Upon A Time Challenge, way back in April. It seems so long ago, now! It was the sixteenth book I'd read in 2014 (I'm on my seventieth now), and the first for the challenge, in fact. I liked it, though it read as self-conscious... The cover, simple as it is, is gorgeous too... *g*

I've had a bit of a Neil Gaiman year this year, which started when I borrowed The Graveyard Book from my sister when I was at her place in Australia, and loved it to death. It's still my favourite, though I liked Ocean at the End of the Lane alot too, and of course Fortunately, the Milk!

What about you - what's currently the 27th book on your shelf? *g*

What worries me, is that the assumption is that people will only have one bookshelf... unless it was a typo and they meant "bookshelves" (as in a bookcase)...

And oooh for Decorating Australian Houses - I love reading older decorating books and seeing how tastes have changed! I like the sound of The Architecture of Happiness too - you'll have to read it and let me know if there is one! Although now I have the song in my head ...sees angels in the architecture, spinning in infinity...hallelujah! If you'll be my bodyguard..." That bit always seems quite happy!
