Literary Photo Challenge

Today is a day for birthdays! The Book Chat, hosted by Jessica from Sweet Green Tangerine, is celebrating its first year in the blogging world. Rather than provide a new topic for this week, Jessica has suggested that we choose one from the past year to re-visit (or, in my case, one that was never answered). I've decided to display a visual literary feast by completing the Photo Challenge from April 2012.

The reading chair in my office (covered by a quilt made by my mom with all the t-shirts I adored as a teenager); bright red side table with my current read (The Book Thief), pretty flowers, and a bowl full of toffees; necessary coffee cart with all my favourite mugs.

My bookmark collection (hiding behind one another); a couple prints; chocolate and vanilla candles; a Magic Mouse that I never use. 

My fairytales bookshelf (anthologies of classics and modern retellings; unicorn figures; Wuthering Heights and Wall-E lurking on the wall in the background.

The few books I have with me (most are stored away at my mom's house because I move around too much. 1st bookshelf, top to bottom: vintage children's literature readers & horror anthologies; magazines I've designed,  literature texts, & cookbooks; nonfiction books. 2nd bookshelf, top to bottom: all of my favourites & my Wuthering Heights collection; "classics" (most are vintage) and graphic novels; children's literature (again, most are vintage) & my to-read pile; random fiction books & my set of Harry Potter.
