| It’s a truth universally acknowledged that the eye is the window to the soul. But for me, it’s the bookshelf.
Forget the insides of pantries, shoe closets or the artworks adorning walls, if you really want to get to know someone, then take a good hard look at the selection of books on their shelves.
Do they have a curated collection of classics? Or a matching set of orange popular penguins? Perhaps it’s travel tomes that occupy pride of place?
But it’s not just about the selection – how a person’s books are displayed can be just as telling.
Is it any wonder then, that the internet was up in arms after lifestyle blogger Lauren Coleman committed the ultimate in bookshelf crime – displaying her books backwards! The controversial styling technique was denounced as “anti-book” and Coleman herself held up as an example of the shallowness of interior trends.
