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 the Pratchetts together. Then other fantasy culminating with Le Guin so it can transition to SF but keep all the Le Guins together.
Then all the SF apart from Banks.
Then misc.
Finally a Banks shelf with non SF alongside the Culture.
And elsewhere a grimdark shelf because it didn’t fit with the rest.
Non fiction below that.
