What Order is Your Library?

[Lesle, Appalachain Bibliophile]

No Pam Im thinking Luís has a lot of books.

Mine are childhood and up, with Mom's when she passed. Most are classics but I do have a bookcase 6'+ that are modern.
It is my retirement plan and my Grandson Brayden likes to read as much as I do.

Most of the books on my Goodreads shelves are my actual books too! It helps me to remember what books I have and usually a general idea of where they are.

Yes. And most of them aren't listed!

At the end of each day, I enjoy passing an eye-beholder on my books.

It is! A nice view from my shelves!

Since my book count is over 900 trying to locate books is crazy.
I have been adding a bookcase count to most of my books. That way I know which case they are in and generally each case has a section that I do not need to log. Like my Agatha Christie's, Christmas, YA's, Nicholas Sparks, Richard Paul Evans and John Grisham.

If my books keep appearing in your feed that is why!!

I have a shelf that is specially dedicated to books that I will keep adding to.

My books have multipled over the last few years, but my husband supports my... Collection. I can usually find what I'm looking for pretty easily, but if not, I have a good general idea where it should be. Hopefully, by the end of this year we can get our own trailer and I can get real book shelves!

TLDR (too long, didn't read) - my books are chaos but I know where stuff is mostly & little areas are organized.

I had my books very organized a few years ago but now I'm making piles again around the house and stacking sideways on top of rows on the book shelves :/ I need to take some good organizing time out soon!

[Phrodrick slowed his growing backlog]

I recently undertook a huge culling of my library. We were about to move cross country so less was more.
As of now I have one section (each) for my wife's books, and my (unread) books. One section for read and most like to be sold or given away.
In all filling about 1 2/3 book cases.

At least one shelf should be gone already, but the un read seems to be growing too fast. EsP frustrating as I tend to have 2 or 3 books going at anyone time.

That was what I was talking about - a shelf for my unread books.
