My office. It's where the bookcases happen to be.

In the sitting room. I always wanted to make my room a personal library but, that task has proven to be a little bit harder that I thought: an empty wallet is an enemy for a bookshelf...

The living room. They are in a cupboard because my husband decided that books are not decorative enough and doesn't want them on display in a bookshelf (I don't really understand why). The good side is that sometimes I forget what's in there, and then it's like getting new books - kind of like finding money in your pocket when doing laundry.

The den has the most books in it by far. My husband built floor to ceiling shelves along one wall, and we filled them immediately. I'd like him to build more in the upstairs hall, too.

My own physical personal library is actually kind of sad as most of my books are on my kindle (in that case wherever my kindle is?), but the spare bedroom in our home is where my bookshelf is kept. Why? I guess I don't have a good reason as to why; the bookshelf just found its home there :)

We have a walk in closet that has become our library. I try to keep books we aren't reading in our "library" so they don't get lost. My kids have bookshelves in their rooms where they keep their favorite books, but we keep most books in the library.

My bedroom does, mostly because I am the only one in the house that actually reads for leisure.

My office has the most books in it. However, I put all of my favorite books on a shelf in my bedroom.

While I love looking at or being in rooms with tons of books in them, at the moment, all my books are in my computer! I guess that doesn't count as a room. Oh well. :-)

My bedroom, with about seven hundred, since I'm the only one who really reads much for pleasure. Then the living room, which has around a hundred gifts and heirlooms in a little built-in bookcase.

My bedroom is where most of the books are in my house. Although my mother's been getting books from various places for when we finally set up the used bookstore I wanted to open, and she's been keeping them in my (deceased) great aunt's old room for the time being. So that room is a definate contender.
The joys of literature transcend the evils of the world. I believe in its miraculious baptism and emotional power of the words trickling down the page. To me, there is no higher artform...
