I used to follow some booktubers who loved to revamp their bookshelves based on color, title, author, genre, or alphabetical order. The real debate here is: what’s your preference - neat and thoroughly organized or delightfully chaotic?
For me, the color or alphabet sorting feels like a headache waiting to happen. Instead, I prefer to sort my books by author and series, if applicable. It’s a system that just clicks with me.
What about you? Share your bookshelf organizing style, your reasons behind it, and any tips you’ve picked up along the way.
I found a mobile app called My Library. You can add most books just by scanning a barcode. If it has the ISBN, you can manually use that. Also, if the book is older than ISBN, you can still add by title or add details by hand. It’s been a life saver for me because I have a ton of books. I also use it when I buy new. It keeps me from buying repeats. It also has a movie and game option, but I haven’t used those as I use Gameye for my games and consoles.
