Books you keep close by. Books that changed your life. Books you reread. Books you want to share. Books you think you couldn’t live without. Come up with 10. Or narrow it down to 10. Burke’s Book Store is asking for your entries in its “My Ideal Bookshelf: Memphis Edition.”
Think of it as a city self-portrait. Dozens of Memphians already have — via a bookshelf smartphone snapshot, a simple listing of titles and authors, or on the page provided by Burke’s on its website. But do so by June 30th. That’s when Burke’s will randomly draw from the submissions they’ve received. That’s when you could be the winner of a custom painting of your ideal bookshelf by artist and illustrator Jane Mount.
