Well, that is not the case in my library...a sleek, stylish, and comfy room where I could read my classics to my little heart's content...isn't there just something inherently cool and stylish about a library.
I want one.
Particularly an awesome rainbow color coded one.
I have really been wanting to read an especially good book...I was thinking about this one:
Or maybe this one:
Have you read anything that you just thought was the *best* lately??? I'm open to suggestions...(c:

I liked Water for Elephants and recently finished The Help- I think Tina Fey is hilarious and would love to read her book - along the "funny" vein are any of Chelsea Handler's bks.
(Love your blog, too:)
I want a rainbow library!! And I want that chandelier in the 2nd to last picture (7th picture from the top)!! It’s so purdy!! Hope you’re having a good day!

This is awesome! What a simple concept! I have never thought about organizing them by color! So cool!
Love those!!! And both of those books are on my list too-- I heard Bossypants its awesome!
I love a rainbow bookcase. If only I didn't live in a tiny house I would have some major built-in book cases put in and fill them with books arranged by the rainbow. Loved Water for Elephants, you should def read. I heard Tina Fey's book was hillarious though.
I wouldn't trade my library for anything. It says so much about a person. Right now I have "Balenciaga and Spain" on my nightstand. It's not about fashion, it's about art, tradition, culture, an amazing book and art album. Ada
Dreamy. We always talk about having a library someday! Maybe one that isn't just filled with Dr. Seuss and Pinkalicious.
I really like the libraries in the last two photos. I am yet to read "Water for Elephants". I has been on my to-read list for the past year yet I always find something else to read.
I would love a giant rainbow library, unfortunately I don't think the Boy would be on board. I tried organizing our small bookshelf by color and he got annoyed because he couldn't find anything, haha. Definitely read Water for Elephants. Also, Little Bee is good, but tough and the Glass Castle too.
Hello Gorgeous!
I dream of an actual library one day! Right now, 2 IKEA Billys in the office will have to suffice! That 2nd image is my fave. I LOVVVVVE.
And DITTO!! How did I not know about your fab blog?!
Good luck in my Shabby Apple Giveaway!!!

I love awesome libraries! My mom read Tina Fey's book recently and really enjoyed it!
I adore bookcases and library rooms. That second picture is amazing with the colorful day bed! Great photos!
Having a floor to ceiling bookcase is a dream! The Help was amazing if you haven't read that!
I would love to have a reading room and especially one as lovely as the photo on top. It looks so comfy and inviting!
I'm re-reading my favorite book "Princess" by Jean Sasson. It gives a window into the life of a Saudi princess and what women experience in fundimentalist areas of the middle east. I can't put it down.
A family I used to babysit for had the most fabulous library with huge leather couches and a fireplace! Ever since I've wanted one in my dream home!
I don't know how one person can have so many books! Maybe it's just because I love getting rid of things, so I don't hang onto them after I'm finished reading. And books that make a rainbow...I can't even imagine! Gorgeous!
I started reading Water for Elephants, but then decided to read the last of the Harry Potter books. It's been the perfect weather here for reading.
Started Water for Elephants and hated it! I'm reading the Count of Monte Cristo now. It's excellent! Super long, but since I "read" all my books on my ipod, it's great. And makes me totally in the mood for the movie again. I love the idea of a rainbow library. Super fun!
There is nothing like curling up with a good book in a cozy space, especially one with floor to ceiling bookshelves!
I just finished Bossypants and LOVED it! Another good one I just read that will really suck you in: Bright Before Us, by Katie Arnold-Ratliff :)
These libraries are sure spiffy!! Wouldn't mind having my own collection of books to display in such a fashionable way!
I love all 5 of the Emily Giffin books...(Something Borrowed, Heart of the Matter..etc)
I color coded my small bookshelf after I saw that Megan (HWH) did it! Love it!
Great images, now I just have to straighten my bookshelves!
Lil Bee was an entrancing book. By Chris Cleave

I'd love such a beautiful library! I read Bossypants, but didn't love it. I have Water for Elephants on my must read list though :)
There's something so "homey" about books... and now this has inspired me to color code my books! :) LOVE!
love the libraries! I LOVED WFE and am dying to read the tina fey book! =)

Oh my, love them all but the first shot especially.
I'm actually posting a book recommendations post tomorrow morning :) I loved Water for Elephants when I read it a few years ago, and I read the first chapter of Bossypants online and can't wait to get the whole book!
Thanks again for the guest post last week - even though Blogger ate all the nice comments :)
Wow, most colorful libraries I've seen!! There is an apartment near me that has an amazing library that over looks prince street that I drool over every time I walk by.
btw - water for elephants is one of my summer reads. can't wait!
I also love color coded bookshelves!! Such an awesome way to display color!
And the movie Water for Elephants was amazing...totally loved it! Never read the book though (: Not a huge reader...except for school books, of course!
Yes! A colour coded library would be amazing! Both of those books are on my 'to read' list - we have similar reading taste :)
umm i love Tina Fey!!! did you see water for elephants?? someday..i'll get my white full wall bookshelf!!
thanks for posting girl!
I've been loving this tumblr site called Book Lovers Never Go to Bed Alone, it's got nothing but pictures of great libraries (http://bookshelves.tumblr.com/).
