Light Novel Collection & Haul
-
Hello, because this type of topic exists on near every other forum on the internet I thought it would be good to start one here. Show off new pickups, your budding collections (physical and digital) and maybe even some non English copies, so to start off:
-
Day-ammmmmm!!! Nice collection!
-
are your Spice and Wolf: Anniversary Collector's Edition books (tome?) a first edition, if so what number it is? Mine is 1519
-
Why do you have 2 Spice & Wolf collections, if you don’t mind me asking? That reminds me though that I still need to finish mine...
-
@drone205 yes first editions I had Sensei sign at NYCC back in 2016
I have #37 & #173
@LegitPancake although it is a very small reason (some may even say petty) when I got #37 signed at Kinokunya I asked for Sensei to addrsss it to me and add the date, when the person at YP took my card with my details they had their hand covering the part that sai date so he only signed it to me from him. So at NYCC the next day I bought another copy, #173 and had him sign it to me with the date.

Here's mine, bit of a mess.
-
Looks nice, I would share mine, but it's pretty much all books on Medicine so it's nowhere near as fun xD. I have most of my LNs on digital.
-
@paulnamida Mine would just be a small stack of books in paper that I’ll donate when I’m done with them and a kindle and a nook, so yeah mine is not too impressive either. That said, I have a fair stack in digital.
-
Oh, dear God. I've got enough books to start a library. Two "standard" bookcases, and a homemade one that's double stacked with paperbacks.
-
I'll have to take pictures of my shelves when I'm back home :o
-
Wow, I thought I read a lot, but you have me beat :D There can't be many English print titles you're missing (except OOP or older YP series). I'm sure you have a ton of JNC titles too. Just curious, why do you have duplicates of some series, like Seraph of the End and Rokka?
Maybe it's just me, but it bothered me how YP did the spines of The Irregular at Magic High School. I wish they kept all of the arc sections the same color or at least matched them for each book in the arc, and why did they change the color of 7's to that dark blue? I know it's a small annoyance, but I wish they had kept them more uniform. I'm not sure if that was their choice or Japan's though.
Also, fist pump to a fellow LOGH fan. Did you see the anime before reading the novels or are you starting with the novels?
-
@hyperion Older YP stuff i have digital (Book Girl & Suzumiya)
I started Log Horizon after i watched the anime so i kinda shot myself in foot there regarding story.
I actually only have doubles of S&W Collector's Edition, the Rokka and Seraph novels are just 1 of each volume currently published.

@rahul-balaggan Oh oops, I didn't notice that you took a picture of the same shelf twice but just removed the front row of books.
Sorry, I meant Legend of the Galactic Heroes when I said LOGH. So to reiterate, did you see the anime before reading the novels or are you starting with the novels?
-
@hyperion My bad that went over my head, I have never seen the anime and the books are...out of this world....

Times like these I wish there were a downvote button D:
Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

@myskaros for what it’s worth I’m pretty sure my terrible pun counted as a sin against God

New books that came in today:
-
My shelves that I just posted on Discord:
Kind of awkward since I'm in a studio, so can't do a dedicated bookshelf wall.
-
It be hard to show mine but I do have every single sword art online book and blu ray available some grimgar books but as my assassins creed collection takes up half the room I had to buy the rest of my books in ebook format (around 160 books) not bad considering I only started to read LN in November last year
-
I've gone almost 100% digital these days, the exceptions being when something isn't available digitally eg. Log Horizon, My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected, Attack on Titan LNs etc.
Kindle and Bookwalker are my primary reading platforms, and I can proudly say that I own every single LN released by Yen Press and JNC to date, sometimes even purchasing the same title twice since I couldn't resist picking up the physical copies of Grimgar, Arifureta and Clockwork Planet as well despite already having them on Kindle.
If we were to include manga as well though, then at last count I currently own 3,137 titles on Kindle and 718 on Bookwalker. And if you can believe it, my physical manga/LN collection is roughly equivalent in size, which is why I eventually switched to digital due to storage concerns.
