Bookcase of the Week - Starring... Rachel from Parajunkee's View

In today's Bookcase of the Week feature, I bring you Rachel (a/k/a Parajunkee), our favorite New Orlean and one of the most popular chicks I've seen around the book blogosphere.  See every time I'm visiting a new blog or something catches my eye about a layout or template, I always check to see who the designer is... and well, it's usually Rachel.   But not only does she create great layouts, she also reviews an assortment of books on her blog Parajunkee's View, she runs another blog titled Anya's Room which is geared towards younger readers and then, of course, there's her design blog Parajunkee Design and she's got a day job too.  phew

Lucky for us, and my harassing e-mail, begging her to play with us, she gracefully agreed to give us a little tour of her shelves.  I don't know why (maybe it's her layouts), but I knew her pictures would be bright and colorful and oh-so eye-appealing.  I was not disappointed.  Check it out for yourselves:

This is the more intense TBR that I have... 

the one that I should read first.

This is my TBR, recent reads and overflow shelf.

This is where I blog. My butt is usually planted in front of those screens day in and day out. The computers are a 27" iMac and and old MacBook.

And then the BIG BLUE BALL.

This was my Katrina temporary bed (we had to keep on replacing the blow up mattresses when the cats jumped on them) and has turned into my reading nook. If I'm not in my real bed or the tub.

Thanks so much Rachel for sharing your shelves and favorite book reading and blogging accessories with us.  I love the colors in your home and I must say that you've inspired me to get my own Big Blue Ball... well, I'll settle for any color (it doesn't have to be blue) but I do love that it looks so comfy.  I want one!!!

For those of you who haven't passed on through to Rachel's yet, please visit her here (tell her I say HI!)
