You'll love this-my library quadrupled in size one day when my favorite antique store went out of business. The owner Lance, a longtime friend of my parents and me (we went antiquing nearly every weekend when I got older) was thrilled to host his first auction. I walked away from the store with 8 bookcases and over 3,000 books-all for $45! At the time my husband and I were living in a basement apartment so we took 2 truckfuls and 2 carfuls of books and 1 trailer full of bookcases down to my parent's house. (Shoutout to my parents for storing those books in their front room for a few months until we found a place and I sorted through all of the books!) I now have my library set up in a large room in our basement and it is amazing!

My name is Samantha and I am 28 this year. I live in Utah with my husband (also a bibliophile) and our two pups! Matilda is a Bernese Mountain Dog/Newfoundland mix and Elizabeth "Lizzy" is an English Mastiff. They are both named for literary characters-Matilda for Matilda (obviously) and Lizzy for Elizabeth Bennet and Elizabeth Swann!
