I moved to England a mont ago and could´t bring a lot of books, but I currently have a shelf with my 7 books, 2 notebooks and a couple of school revision books. Really miss my old bookshelf and all my books, but hopefully my new bookshelf will end up looking as good here in England :)

I have an IKEA cube with 4 cubes in it, if that makes sense. One is filled with films the other 3, packed with books! At the moment I'm begging my dad to build me some more bookshelves, as i have run out of space (even after giving my sister about 50 books to borrow and store in her room)! Im one of those people who try to keep them tidy but then keep reading and picking up books and it just turns into piles of random books again! Any one else got that habit?
I usually organise mine via authors/series. Alphabet organisation takes faaar too long.
My shelf is a work in progress. My books have been in storage for the last few years as I have been moving around and didn't have room for them. Now that I am settled here I have started building a shelf out of wooden crates that I an painting (im still only half done with it. its hard to find time to paint between work and sleep) Right now my books that i have read are on the shelves that I have finished, not really in any order other then series and collections being together. My TBR pile (40 books) sits in two piles on the floor next to it.
Ohh i like the idea of using wooden crates!! That sounds so cool!!
I do have too many random piles that don't have categories!!
Emilie: how's England going for you? Do you like it? Where have you come from?? Xx (don't answer if it's too prrsonal!! I'm really nosey!) I hope your new bookshelf works out for you xx :)
Ashley/Darby: how do you view images on goodreads??!!?
Ailish: England´s good, still having some language problems, but I love it here :) Moved from Norway a month ago Xx
Ailish: you have to see their profile online. Next to their profile pic is a little link that says "view pictures." Click on that and all the pics are right there :)
Ohhh!! Ok thanks, I'll have a looksee xx :)
Darby and Ailish: Lol it took me forever to figure out how to upload my pictures from my ipod onto my goodreads XD
I love hearing of every ones shelves.Here is a photo of the crates and my giant tbr piles on the far right...

Where did you get them cube shelve things from? I really want some for my cd/DVD/book collection
I got them at Michael's. You could probably find them at just about any craft store and even some home improvement ones. They come unfinished so you can make then any color you want.

Liz: OMIGAWD your bookshelves are so pretty!!!! I HAVE to try to do something like that!!
I have one big bookshelf with about 130 books on it. Recently I got another bookshelf where I my contemporary books now and I have my unread books in my bedside table
Skylar: wow that's a lot of books!! Bedside table seems like a good place to put to read books xx :)
i organize my books a bit by genre i think... if i feel this book reminds of that one in depth,style and quality, I'll put them in the same shelf. obviously different books from the same author are together though
My bookshelves are alphabetically organised that way all my series and books by the same author are together. Everything stand vertically except my Harry potter series and the twilight series which lie horizontally for space reasons. I also have a shelf that has my 2015 memory jar on it. And then school books and books that are to big to go anywhere else are on one shelf. And then my bottom shelf has ally crafts pieces on it. And then ontop of my shelf I have photos of loved ones who have passed away and then just family photos a everyone's bookcases seem so so cool!
Mine appear to everyone to be in a jumbled.up order. Although I instantly know the moment one of them has been put back in the wrong place. My sister always try's to play pranks on me. I am very OCD about the places that my books ho on my shelf and when I can't work out where the moved book is or where it is moved to or what book has been moved I get really paranoid. Its weird. I will just know as soon as i walk into my bedroom.
I have two book marks. One of them I haven't seen in ages.

Mine used to be organised alphabetically until I ran out of room so now I just lie them all horizontally on whatever shelf they fit on to
