Have you set up a place of your own to read, write, or so on and so forth?
I've just created my own library in our basement.
As of now our entire dining room is FILLED with bookshelves. I wanted more space, and a little place of my own in the house to get away to. I set up a library in our basement. I painted the walls, BRIGHT neon blue, bought and built 9 shelves, added a little couch and a big comfy chair, threw down a few area rugs and tada! Now all I'm working on is the books! So far I have one and a half shelves filled.
I love this setup because it gives me room to grow in the books I read, and to be able to keep them close to my heart. It's a really cozy getaway.
