Welcome to Litsy!

Did a little 2025 book rearranging… @Malachi wants to help me pick my “next book” (let‘s call it a real-life jar of fate), so I rearranged the left so he can pick from a set selection. 😏 The one on the right is just the shelf in my bedroom… starting to be too packed with 3 shelves double-stacked!

Anyone else have plans for how to pick “what‘s next” from the ol‘ tbr in 2025?

I‘m actually cleaning, sorting the books for my tbr, give away, little libraries and deciding what to put back on my shelf‘s in my office (as you can see) and since it‘s #nationalshelfieday I wanted to share my shelf‘s 😊 thank you @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks for reminding me 🙌🏽📚

Did I get a rotating bookshelf to make more space for plants as well as books?
Yes. Yes I did. 😆
Will mostly be used for books that need to be read sooner rather than later and the side facing the window has succulents. Win/win imho #shelfie

No13 on the #EasterOMC #readathon #photochallenge is show a #shelfie I have a LOT of shelves but I don‘t think I show these too often. On the left, the top two are my Potterverse shelves(I have more now!)below them is my Dame Agatha shelf then my classics(WordCloud etc)top right down is my Maasverse shelf, my Jay Kristoff, my Pratchett & George.R.R.Martin special editions, then Penguin Galaxy SFF & Bloomsbury Modern Editions, lastly it‘s a set 👇

I‘ve been getting that urge to reorganize myself books again lately 🤣 #Shelfie #JanuaryJazz @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

The Washington Post has a fun article feature shelfies from 9 authors, including fellow Litten @ChrisBohjalian ! I loved peeking onto all these shelves!

#Illshowyoumineifyoushowmeyours

I set a collection of novels aside for Christmas borrowing for Year 11 students, and came back to find them colour coded (by Imogen). Too bad the photos taking doesn‘t show the titles (my bad). One week of school left before we close down for the summer holiday. Lots still to do. #shelfie #rainbowbooks #controversial #olderraders

Today‘s random #shelfie is of some of “hopefully next to read” part of my #MountTBRShelvesOfDoom Theres a mix of SciFi, Fantasy, Historical Fiction & Magical Realism. How many are on your shelves?

Today‘s random #shelfie is the blue shelf hiding behind all those overflow books. I did have a pretty #rainbowshelf for a little while🤏 #cantstopwontstop #bookhoardersareus #itsnothoardingifitsbooks

Today‘s random #shelfie moment is what‘s behind the overflow in my last shelfie posts. This is (obvs) my red rainbow shelf in my #MountTBRShelvesOfDoom #rainbowedition🌈

Today‘s random #shelfie is another overflow stack in front of my rainbow #MountTBRShelvesOfDoom oh, and my Kava bowl the hubby brought back from PNG

Today‘s random #shelfie is of some more overflow on my #MountTBRShelvesOfDoom I have 10 shelves behind these overflow books that my DIL & I spent two days organising into rainbow shelves that looked amazing, until I couldn‘t find any books coz I‘m used to alphabetical shelves, then because I kept having to shove more new books in front! Are you a rainbow shelf lover or a Dewey Decimal or alphabetical shelver?

Today‘s random #shelfie is of another section of my #TBR shelves in the spare room. Not that there‘s much spare room in there at all anymore😋

Today‘s random #shelfie is of part of my #TBR shelf in the spare room, believe me there‘s much much more in this particular shelf!

Today‘s random #shelfie is of some of my WordCloud Editions collection. I love their vibrant colours so much!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍🤎🖤

Today‘s random #shelfie is part of my Dame Agatha Christie shelf. These are most of my “signature editions” but I also have vintage 70s editions, Crime Collections Omnibuses & assorted other special editions. Yes, I‘m a bit Dame Agatha obsessed. #christiecrimeclub

Today‘s random #shelfie (sorry it‘s late, today was brutal) is of some more overflow books in my spare room TBR bookcase. It‘s mostly the House hardcovers of both Goblet Of Fire & Order Of The Phoenix, a few more #owlcrate & #fairyloot YA & some misc. books. I‘ll end up with complete hardcover sets from all 4 houses soon! Though it‘s hard to support the author, I‘ve decided to focus on what the books mean to me🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #loveislove

Today‘s random #shelfie is of part of the stacks of books on my desk in the library. I really really need to trick someone into helping me get these shelves in shape!

Today‘s random #shelfie is of my Waterstones Editions of the DC novels & my Lord Peter Wimsey editions from Booktopia. If you‘re gonna hoard books, make sure they‘re pretty ones!😍

Another random #shelfie (I‘m bored, you‘re welcome!) this one of some of my Read books waiting to be shelved. Once I find a victim.. I mean helper.. to give me a hand organising my 2500+ large library. Any volunteers?

Can‘t sleep, so here‘s another random #shelfie for you! Part of the overflow in my spare room #MountTBRShelvesOfDoom it has a lot of my #bookbox YA novels from #owlcrate & #fairyloot You‘re never too old to be trash for a good YA book!

Today‘s random #shelfie is of part of my #MountTBRShelvesOfDoom in my spare room. After I ran out of shelves in my library, I commandeered some space in our daughters old bedroom and put a set of cases in there. And now that‘s overflowing too.😋 #itsnothoardingifitsbooks

Today‘s random #shelfie is my Virago Modern Classics & my Seasons Edition-Winter classics. The seasons editions are gorgeous, laser cut paper over leather.

Today‘s random #shelfie is of another one of my very messy #MountTBRShelvesOfDoom A few of these have been there for a couple of years at least while others are only a month old. I‘m hoping the three #Backlist challenges I‘m doing this year will push me to finally clear a lot of these books🤞Coz there‘s a full shelf behind these as well!

Today‘s random #shelfie is of some of my Bloomsbury Modern Classics editions, some Australian Penguin Children‘s editions & a few WordCloud editions. I really need to re-organise my special edition shelves, I have so many now.

Haven‘t read much today due to headache, so here‘s a random #shelfie of another small part of my overflowing #MountTBRShelvesOfDoom

Taking a leaf out of @BookishMarginalia page & posting a #randomshelfie This is a tiny part of the overflow on my #MountTBRShelvesOfDoom there‘s a full stacked shelf behind these ones! Yes, I have a problem, no it‘s not hoarding if it‘s books! My problem is not enough shelves😋 The Ice House has been in my TBR the longest I think, I bought it in a 2ndhand bookstore over 15yrs ago, the stores not there anymore unfortunately☹️

It‘s #Shelfie Day!

Her I am with the modern Classics and my horse books! 📚
