Awful DIY Bookshelves

Picture 1 This is just stressful.  Picture 2 How would you get a book off without having to contend with at least a couple of books? Picture 3 There's so many awkward angels, I would be afraid something was going to fall off at any time. Picture 4 I don't understand why you would want a bookshelf where you have all the books move every time you take a book down to read.  Picture 5 There is just so much wasted space. 

Physical or ebooks?

There's always the debate, is physical or ebooks better? With physical, or paper, books, you get to actually hold them in your hands and feel the texture of the paper. And that new book smell, ugh, so good. Pardon me while I drool over the thought. Not to mention that some of them are so pretty! I just recently bought The Nightingale and the texture of the cover is beautiful, not to mention the design of it. You only really get that with physical books. But they do have their downfalls: they take up a lot of space depending on how many you have and how thick they are. Not to mention that new copies are usually twice as much as ebooks from what I've seen so far.  While in public, physical books can make a great deterrent so that people don't talk to you as you can hide behind them easier. Though you can do that with an ebook, it looks a lot more rude to be staring at a screen versus paper. Plus you look just a smidge smarter staring at a book over a phone or tablet since
