Do you often find yourself getting lost in a book to the point that you have to simply ask yourself where has the time gone? Its not hard to do. Some authors are so good at writing that they can fill your head with a story to the extent that it becomes as clear as the real life that you are living. It can be what keeps you up at night. It can turn a stress filled day into something that was worth surviving. It is simply the perks of being a book nerd, and it is something that we should all do a little more of.
The Books We Cherish
There are some books that we read for only a moment in time. They are the books that are well worth checking out, but they may not impact your life or become a true classic. The novels, those books that have continued to be read, even though they were written many years ago; are the ones we cherish the most as a book nerd. They are the ones like, “To Kill a Mockingbird”, “Wuthering Heights”, “Pride and Prejudice”, “The Great Gatsby” and a personal favorite of many, “Great Expectations”. These books, no matter how strange the wording, will always be something we can open and get lost in. There are also some wonderful kids books like, “Charlotte’s Web”, “The Hobbit”, and “Ann of Green Gables”. There are more books than you can fit into a single list and all of them have a place on someone’s bookshelf.
Love Your Books
It does not matter whether you have a classic novel in your hand or a newly printed book by a favorite author; you should always love your books and share them with others. You should never bend your book so that the covers fold beyond the spine. You should not fold pages or write in books that you love. It is recommended that if you have a book you truly want to preserve for the future; you should keep it in a cool area that is away from direct sunlight. You can dust your books as you would all other decor, but you should do it carefully. If your area has been getting a lot of rain or your home feels damp on the inside, it isn’t a bad idea to consider drying your books. Simply take them off the shelf and put them in the sun for a short period of time.
Take the Time to Read
There are many people who say that you can develop a love of reading from infancy. Parents should always read to their children until their children are able to read to them. If we can encourage everyone to love books, the books that we have now will always be “readable” in the future years. It ensures that there will always be a copy of the books we consider classics. It will also ensure that the books that are brand new to us will still be enjoyed by future generations. Can you think of a reason why we shouldn’t take care of them so that our grand-kids can enjoy becoming lost in a book?
Throughout history, we have all placed a lot of value on books. They appeal to us on so many different levels and often you will see offices or mansions with a large book display.

When you think about a bookcase, you likely imagine a library, but the truth is; they can be so much more. They can hold educational books and books that allow you to travel into another world beyond our own. These shelves can hold keepsakes amid books that you have chosen specifically because you value them. You can choose to have books that are classic novels such as “Gone with the Wind.” You can have books by your favorite authors. You get to choose, and no matter what you place on it, the end result will capture the attention of anyone who visits your home. The reason is simple. People are drawn to books. Even people who are not avid readers, will appreciate the fact that you display a love of books. They will also appreciate the style of your bookcase if you decide to custom design it.

From there, you will need to gather up your building materials. This should include wood, wood glue, screws, your drill, and of course the saws that you will use to cut it out. You will want to have a measuring tape to ensure that you are cutting the right lengths. You should measure both the width and height that you want.
