Coronavirus Skype I have got More Books than you have

[70deb]

Coronavirus on TV has now become a platform to show of how many books they have got

Some of those bookcases need a good tidy!
I will admit to having my more worthy titles in plain veiw and the utter trash I also read is slightly more hidden 😂

Seems I am not the only person to notice this. Those books located behind them like that looks very staged, contrived. These people are just very vain. A load of sheep trying to out do each other.

I have noticed this too.

Also counting how many times they say

' that's a great question' as the first line of their answer.

Yes I've never seen so many book cases on TV before!

We've been laughing at this too. Our bookcases are the last thing we'd want in the background, everything is genuinely jammed in, rather than artfully arranged to look full and the eye level shelves are mainly dog eared copies of favourites, you'd just choose a relatively empty wall. You just know that Gove's actual bookcase is bursting with mills & boon.

Luckily the USA isn't following the trend yet, or someone would be trying to persuade trump his dr Seuss and comic collection might not give the right impression.

Nobody is using Skype

Oh dear, think I might be guilty of this although we use Microsoft Teams which seems to blur out backgrounds.

I see Nietzsche, which immediately takes pretentious score to 11, but then there's also the overflowing wrapping paper and some pulp fiction

I was laughing at this on Sky News. I was trying to read the spines behind the guest’s head

Remember Prof Robert Kelly had artfully arranged some books to disguise the spare bed in his office and then his daughter toddled in ...

I don’t have fiction books on display because I read entirely on kindle but I'm currently WFH set up on the kitchen island and by genuine coincidence I'm in front of my cookbook shelves.

I hope no-one I have video calls with thinks that's a deliberate 'l think I'm Nigella' thing because it's simply where the bookshelves and space to sit at the island happen to be.
