I recently began work as a visiting assistant professor at a new university. I’ve finally settled into my office. My books surround me, and I love the feeling of it.
Here is my favorite section of the shelf. It seems timely.
I like being surrounded by books.
The Bookshelf of Emily J. 
Nice! And the best part is all that empty shelf space with such potential!
Yes! I can get MORE books! 😉
It looks splendid. 😃
Thank you!
I have shelf envy. How fun to set up a new office and arrange all your books! Congrats on your new job too, that’s the second best thing after the shelf space.
Yep. Agreed. Arranging the books and having the space was much more awesome.
Great shelf and great sounding job. “Sighs” remembering a lovely room at university where I used to have great debates with fellow students about literature!
Sigh. I am sighing for you (and me). I need more of those types of meetings.
Congratulations on your new position! And your amazing bookshelves😄
Thank you!
Whoa! Congratulations, Doctor J.
The bookshelves are really nice looking. Loved the pics, and I see you got some cultural studies texts up there. And your printer! Well that’s all right. I remember finding an old dormitory bedside table that was slated to be thrown away and lugging it to my office for a printer stand. Some things never change! 🙂
So what are you teaching?
I’m teaching technical writing to non-English majors and visual rhetoric. Next semester will be more technical writing and some writing with style for English majors. And yes, my own printer! That is a luxury I can get used to. 🙂
Being surrounded by books all day is bliss! I hope you’re enjoying your work. 🙂
Thanks! Definitely bliss.
Nice!
🙂
pure bliss
So true!
Congratulations for your new job, and for the nice shelves ! What a pleasure to work in this office… 🙂
Thank you!!!!
Lovely. Enjoy your space! 🙂
Thanks!
“I like being surrounded by books”. I think many of us could confess that, Emily. I, for one, am decidedly guilty of that. So, glad you are feeling at home in the office and I hope all goes well for you. 🙂
I am in good company here! Thanks!
I love it!
🙂
Congratulation!!! I like your position.
Hello,🙂 I am also new blogger, thank you so much for the valuable tips.
I’m thinking to review about all products, mainly I write about language, daily, family, travel.
If you could come and check out my blog and leave comment to advise me https://whathyonadid.wordpress.com/
Thank you!
Good luck with your new blog. It sounds like you have some exciting topics!
Thank you. Emily. Enjoy your new position. Have a great day! 🙂
I am also guilty of having a ton of books! My brother only gives me a hard time about them when he has to help me move them 🙂
Ha ha! That makes sense. Moving books is a pain.
Congratulations, Emily! How lovely to be surrounded by books all day, at home and at work 🙂
🙂
Good luck on your position. Life is a juggle!
It sure is. Thank you!
Books help us to see the road, but we must walk it to know
🙂
Jealous! You must love your job…
Pretty much!
