We did a bit of a cull the other week, but have books all over the place
The kitchen has 2 big shelves which bridge wall units, with cookery books - plus a big pile of clipped/torn out recipes, which regularly get filed but grow again just as fast.
More cookbooks are in the tall bookcase at the top of the stairs, which also houses 'permanent' books, like my poetry ones, some old hardbacks that are a mixture of pretty and sentimental...all sorts.
There are more in the second bedroom, and then there's the smaller bookcase in here, for current/to choose from/reference books, again all sorts. And Bb has a pile in the hall that his mum brought round, and another few in a magazine holder by his side of the sofa...plus the ones on the kindle, and the few on the coffee table
