Scene of the Blog Featuring Jaime of Confessions of a Bibliophile!

I have one of the best jobs on the Internet-- I get to introduce some wonderful book bloggers and let them show you where they create those posts that we all love to read. Not only that, but I get to peek at their blogging spaces first!

This week my guest blogger is Jaime of Confessions of a Bibliophile. This Virginian's blog is bright, uncluttered and clean-- just like a magazine. (Heavens. See what happens when I go for a rhyme? I apologize!) I had to smile the first time I read Jaime's explanation of, not only how to spell her name, but the fact that she was a female. Fortunately I've never had the gender issue with my name, but I certainly understand the spelling part!

Jaime openly admits that she's obsessed with books. From a preference for mysteries, thrillers, historical fiction and literary fiction (which strongly resembles my own favorite genres), Jaime's been branching out into Chick Lit and Young Adult novels. Hmm... I've branched out into YA myself.... I really enjoy Confessions of a Bibliophile. If you're not already a fan, why don't you stop by Jaime's blog and say hi? Chances are you'll be adding her to your blog reader of choice!

Okie dokie. Time for me to stop hogging the spotlight and let Jaime show you where she does her blogging. (Click on the photos to view them full size.) Take it way, Jaime!



This is where I actually do most of my blogging (and knitting. and living.). The stack of books there have been waiting patiently for over a week to be cataloged and put away. I also do some blogging at work, but that would make a much less interesting picture!




This is what I see when I'm sitting in my space! Don't ask what I'm watching, I have no idea. These are just three of my 8 bookshelves, and hold primarily TBR books. Oh, and one of my cats decided to be in the photo. I don't have kids, so I have cat toys strewn about my living room.




See how woefully behind I am in my review book reading? And even more paperbacks I haven't read yet!

Books, knitting, books, television, books, comfy chair, books, laptop, books, good lighting, books, cat, books... looks like the perfect set-up to me! In my opinion there's nothing woeful about a large TBR stack (or stacks). That makes me smile. What would be woeful would be the lack of a healthy TBR. I can get the shakes just thinking about having nothing in the house to read.

I would imagine that your pets keep a pretty close eye on you while you're knitting, reading or blogging, and that they know precisely when to stage An Intervention so you don't strain your eyes. Ah yes. I used to have pets!

Thanks so much for showing us your creative space, Jaime. All of us who crave having our Inner Peeping Toms fed each Wednesday certainly thank you!

Who'll be showing off a blogging space next Wednesday? Stop by Scene of the Blog here at Kittling: Books to find out!

  2. That looks like a wonderfully comfy place to blog and knit and play with kitties!! And don't worry, we all have gigantic TBR piles.

  4. So neat and tidy!

    And though I have children, we can hardly blame them, as they are all grown-up now :D

  5. Thanks everyone for the comments! I assure you, it's not always that tidy. The book piles are a *little* out of control right now...

  6. Your chair looks like mine, so comfy it's a sin. Very happy one of your cats got into the picture. I used to have 2 Great Danes who both thought they were lap dogs - just TRY knitting or reading in that scenario! It was hilarious.

  7. I've never met a Great Dane who *didn't* think it was a lap dog.. They are so sweet!

  10. Great space Jaime! Your couch looks so comfortably & I totally support having several cts strewn about the living room! Love your bookshelves of course! and the fact that you have many more!

  11. Love that space and look at all those shelves...I would love some more bookshelves!

  12. I have to admit, we've gotten really lucky with deals on bookshelves. Most of them are those cheap $30-$40 sauder shelves from Walmart or somewhere online (one Scott built himself, actually for DVDs). But they've held up really well, overloaded with books and through a couple of moves!

  13. Jaime-- All my bookcases are Sauder as well. I think they're great!

    Caite-- No, you're not the only blogger without a cat. I'm currently pet-less, but if I did have a pet, it would woof!

  14. I obviously need a new and more comfy blogging chair! Fun space.

  15. What a cozy space! I wish I could leave all my stuff on the couch, but it would end up moved and probably lost by the hubby and the girl.
