New Bookshelves/Bookshelf tour!

It's taken almost an entire year to build these, but I am so glad they are finally done!! 

Here's kind of a crappy picture of what the shelves looked like  bare, just after getting them done:

I was so excited, that I immediately started putting my books up after taking this picture, and didn't even think about getting a decent one. So here is what the shelves currently look like:
If you can't tell, I am a little obsessed with penguins... 
The first two book cases are all of the books that I've currently read. They're sorted by series/books by the same other and then single books. The third book case is sorted in the same way, but are books that I still need to read and the last book case is all of my adult books and a few classics. 

Here's some pictures that break down the shelves some more (sorry for the weird angles, I don't have a tripod to take level pictures with and photoshop skills aren't very good):

The last book case:

I'm not going to go into a detailed report of all of these books. The top shelf has some Kresely Cole books. The second shelf has A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness, a bunch of Kim Harrison books and two book by Lynda Hilburn. The third shelf is all of the Argeneau books by Lynsay Sands.
The fourth shelf has some random psychological thrillers, a random adult book and Dracula. And the fifth shelf has the Barnes and Noble leather editions of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the Jane Austen books, a collection of the Brother's Grimm books, House of Leaves and three Stephen King books. 


I have a 108 read books from the first two book cases and 80 unread books from the third book case (I'm not counting anything from the fourth book case, since most of it is stuff that I read when I was in high school, about 5-6 years ago, and the rest is just random books that I was given by other people.)

My boyfriend and I have come to the agreement that I can't buy anymore books until most of my unread books have been read (he says I have to read all of them, I'm just aiming to read about 60 of them.)  I've decided that at the end of any book reviews I do from books that I own the physical copy of, I'm going to put an update on how many books I still have left to read. 

Hope you enjoyed this kind of picture bookshelf tour! I really love my new bookshelves. I seriously can't help myself from wandering past them every once and a while to gaze at them. They're so pretty!!!!
