Love this idea! Will participate when I have the next book. :)
Waiting for my book to arrive. Will be sure to post a #Shelfie as soon as I do! This is an amazing idea, Kodak. :D
Instagram. And I'll be sure to tag you!
My Instagram amount is dedicated to books, so I love this idea!
I love this!! i'll take my #shelfie tomorrow. ;)
Only two on Twitter as of now. Buck up people! (Excuse my absence due to my photo-phobia (a term I made up))
I'm afraid I absolutely hate having my picture taken (especially by myself), but Kodak, you mentioning your selfie looks ridiculous does make me curious. Where did you post it? :D
Yay! Great idea. Excited to see all these booklovers. As soon as my copy arrives I'll shelfie the hell out of my cam ;)

The message was for you but I guess it could be both :P
Can't post mine in Twitter but will in Weibo as soon as i get my copy!
I've got a bookstagram @izzybooks (https://www.instagram.com/izzybooks/) where I post photos of books in general, although my face does not make an appearance x) I will do my best to take a #OurSharedShelfie though!!! I'll probably post it there ^^ Although I've got the ebook version of The Color Purple which doesn't look quite as nice as my hardcover of My Life on the Road.

Where did you pos..."Learning to celebrate your-self is one of the key steps in feminism...getting out from under some patriarchal ideal of what we should each look like. And it only gets worse for women as we age (I am 69 and must now celebrate my aging self. So far so good, by the way)
So my crone advice to us all is, as the song so intuitively states, "Let it go..."

Will post mine tomorrow when I fetch "Die Farbe Lila" (The color purple) from the library. Looking forward to it.
Tomorrow I'll finally get my copy of the book so I'll definitely post a selfie on fb (although I'm afraid I'm not very photogenic :( ) ;)

Fuck! Who told you I was Rowan Atkinson? Was it you, Katelyn?! I swear, she's lying. You have no proof!
What ID? I don't have an ID. And if I did, which I don't, it surely would NOT say Rowan Atkinson on it. Nuh-uh!
I love this!! I posted a selfie with "My Life on the Road" a few weeks ago and I'm definitely going to be doing it with "The Color Purple" when I start reading it. Don't be shy, everyone! We'd all love to see your pictures - in pjs, with pets, while drinking tea, anything!
Take care.

I'm sorry. I don't know what your [psi] book description was about or why it wouldn't be allowed, but I'm pretty sure profanity should be allowed if it isn't being directed at someone as an insult. After all, we're all adults here... well I'm not but we've all reached the age where we've already discovered the F-word, right?

The description to which you are referring was from a repeat spammer who had been warned previously. Posts repeated on multiple threads are considered spam and are against the rules here.
Profanity, used respectfully, is permitted here on Our Shared Shelf.
I added my SHELFIE to Instagram today! I can't wait to see some more of them as the month progresses. (:https://www.instagram.com/rscianatico/

oh okay. those spammer boys are fun though.
how do I take shelfies? my phone camera takes good quality pics but the cam is on the back of the phone and man it's too much work, I'll ask somebody to take the pics for me....

OH YEAH, god bless chris rock, richard pryor, bernie mac and the def comedy jam videos.
Elen, thanks, hehe, I see that book will help a lot of people here on, to make selfies and to get more self-esteem ;) (joke, please don't delete me) :)Katelyn, I am not a spammer, and I have always stick to the topic, the book has very wide spread knowledge and I can use it to describe many of the topics here debated.
I believe I have never before been warned (as I would know about), but my posts were directly deleted. I believe there was none violation of rules, except in Elenas topic, when I make too long description, which was not recommendation. But I understand that this is your work, and of course many times there is something that bothers us without a reason.
But is it true that I have posted relevant information from the book. When it goes for religion, I have explained the view of the theory which is from the book, when it goes for feminism I have explained the view from the theory. But you must understand that if I do not add the background knowledge, nobody will understand anything. So I apologise to any mod, if I somehow offended him/her, and I believe we will continue to work with each other on the same shelf ;)

a shelf with 100.ooo people, that's just too crowded.....
we need plenty of furniture for this living room.
oh and I need to figure out who's gonna help me with the shelfies.
Mod
What exactly do you need help with?
You have a phone with a camera on I assume? Go nuts. ;-)

Basically the cam is on the back and I can NEVER hit the take the pic button darnit.

Do you not have an icon on your photo screen that lets you reverse the camera? (so that it's pointing at you).

nope
Well I took mine on pure chance. And as you can see, it's not that bad.
