Loving this series by photographer Laurie Rubin. As a bonafide bookworm, one of my favorite things to do is find a comfy spot and check out my bookshelves. I can stare at the titles for a good long time (obviously this only happens when I have a lot of time on my hands). I just think books are so pretty, and you can tell so much about a person by their bookshelves. I just loved unpacking the boxes of books when Ryan and I moved in together (we had 12 boxes between the two of us). It was a real metaphor for me watching our lives and bookshelves merge.

So when I stumbled across Laurie Rubin’s portfolio and her gorgeous photos of book pages, I just had to share. And be sure to check out her site because there are many many more to be had.

    Love the third photo. It makes me feel like I’m peeking out from behind the library shelves.

    I’m such a sucker for books too. One of my favorite date nights or escape nights is coffee and perusing at the bookstore.

      Erin,

      We love bookstore dates too! Deciding if we have to pick one or have ALL of the releases of Catcher in the Rye in our fantasy library is our idea of a happenin’ Friday night!
