Today, we came across the awesome Tumblr Bookshelfies (via Business Insider)

What is a "bookshelfie," you might ask? Well, it's a selfie taken in front of your bookshelf, of course! (the contributors also list some of the books that can be found on their bookshelves.

Submit your own on the Tumblr!
