Everything About Secret Bookcase Doors is a Tumblr that does exactly what it says on the tin. This is pure awesome. Image here from Stashvault

Everything About Secret Bookcase Doors (via Bookshelf)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Very cool. I’ve been trying to figure something out for my office since I have an entry to the kitchen which could use a door like this. I’d already been digging around and have seen some of these, but saw some new ones so definitely tracking this or a bit.

Cory, I just wanted to say that somewhere, deep in my soul, my inner child is drooling over this. That is all.

Really enjoyed that. But it really needs a scene from any Scooby Doo episode ever written.

Those are good. But nothing beats the closet from Real Genius.
