    I like the gift certificate! YouTube has a DIY video for making the secret compartment out of a book. Cool but sort of wrong to cut up a perfectly good book :)

    I prefer my bookshelves to be horizontal and show the solid looking wood. Actually, I’d really love to have floor to ceiling bookshelves with a ladder that rolls along the shelf. And a secret room behind the bookshelf :). I don’t think I’ll ever get the ladder but my husband has promised to make my laundry room door into a swinging bookshelf someday….

    I am a huge reader. But just don’t have the space for buying books so I just borrow everything from the library. Libraries rule.

      Agreed. Libraries DO rule. :)

    I love reading. My nose has been in a book since I was 2 years old! I received the Kindle from my parents for my birthday this year, and I LOVE it. I wasn’t sure how I would like reading on a screen vs. a real page, but I got used to it right away. I also like how Amazon lets you read the first chapter of the book for free before commiting to purchasing the book. Stephanie- did you ever get a kindle? I thought you mentioned that you wanted one. It would certainly save a lot of space in the RV!

      Not yet, but it’s my biggest wish right now. I’m pretty sure that I would love it.

      What have you been reading? Anything really outstanding?

    That conceal bookshelf is pretty incredible! I’ll second the bookmark idea too – I like having a pretty bookmark, right now I’m using a book thong – like this one: http://www.etsy.com/listing/52806170/crystal-wish-jeweled-bookmark-beaded

    Love the conceal bookshelves. How have I never seen these? So many possibilities! Thanks for sharing :)

    I saw a bed in Ikea where the headboard was a bookshelf. I was very high too – all the way to the ceiling. I think iit would look really stylish

    I’d love a bookmark. I’ve used receipts and hair bands and assorted odds and ends on the fly, but I greatly prefer a real bookmark. Something like this http://www.etsy.com/listing/69193329/natural-blue-turquoise-hematite-bookmark?ref=sr_gallery_17&ga_search_submit=&ga_search_query=bookmark&ga_noautofacet=1&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade%2Fbooks_and_zines%2Fbookmark

    I love books/bookstore certificates best, but I’m also a bookmark lover!

    Yay Amazon money! :)

    But those conceal bookshelves are pretty cool too!

      Amazon money is the BEST, isn’t it? It’s the ideal gift for almost anyone…especially a reader.

      P.S. What are YOU reading these days? [Do you have a Kindle? I can’t recall].
