Cassandra 🍁โ˜•๏ธ📚 (blondie2611) | 151 comments I have all my hardcovers together. All my paperbacks are together. My sprayed edge hardcovers are together. I used to do alphabetical order with the authors last name. It ended up being a pain in the butt cause of all the shifting I had to do each time I added a new book.

Mike | 107 comments In real life on a real bookshelf, I have 2000 physical books. They are arranged by authors last name, and cross referenced on my computer. On Goodreads they are a massive unorganized jumble.

Vanessa (vanessacumberlandcountypa) Once upon a time in a small North American home, there was a couple whose shelves were organized by subject areas for non-fiction and genre for fiction. Then, life happened and they're All. Over. The. House. I love the ideas above, btw.

vaishnavi โ˜†๏พŸโ .โ *โ  (readby.vaish) (readbyvaish) | 12 comments I can't really say my bookshelf's organised ๐Ÿ˜‚ I just put them back wherever I find enough space once I'm done reading.

But once a month when I'm affected by the cleaning virus I move them around and they're usually arranged by height or color (books from a series are together always)


message 23: by noemi (new)

noemi | 23 comments I'm in the process of moving houses, so all my books are in boxes now and will probably change my system. but until a few weeks ago, my books were organised by language first. within each section, they're divided by status (read/not read). i do tend to stick together all the books of the same editorial series
