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.
All books by the same author or series are together, but other than that, there is no real organization. However they best fit on the shelf is what works for me. I have close to 900 books, but I know where they all are. I may not know the exact location on the shelf, but I know the bookcase, the shelf, and approximately where on the shelf it is.
