Hold Tight Shelves

I love bookends, but these shelves are brilliant! I could see these acting as my just read shelves, because I'm constantly adding a finished book and having to rearrange everything. With these I could just slide out the stopper, add my book and slide it back.

Floating Shelves

A friend sent me a link to floating bookshelves as a joke... and I bought them. They are awesome! They are tiny little L-shaped pieces of metal that you can't even see once they're up. You put the back cover of the bottom book under the bottom of the shelf and it clips into a tiny lip on the shelf. Voila floating books!

They hold up to 15 lbs. of books and I actually have a tiny bit of space on my bedside table again!
