{Rain Gutter Shelves}

(please note the image was found on Satori Smiles and is not my own)

This is such a neat idea and I am going to do it when we get our own home. What a great way to encourage reading and helping to make sure your bookshelves don't end up looking cluttered and books being ruined from being squashed onto the shelf or stepped on because they fall to the ground and the kids just don't pick them up. (I have this problem now!)
