Bookcases are so much more than just a place to store one s books. They've become experiments in engineering and explorations into modern art, covetable in their own right. Financial analysts at Bloomberg have even used the IKEA Billy bookcase as an index of economic growth. In these pages you will find plenty of inspiration and diversity, from Juxtaposed, a shelf capitalizing on limited space to display seven books containing the world s most influential religions, to Sakura Adachi s Trick, a bookcase that constantly mutates into a table and two chairs. Shelves can even be re-imagined: the way laundry is dried in China informed Dutch designers Studio Ditte as they created their Kwan bookcase. So while we appreciate the efficient book storage of e-readers, let us marvel at physical bookshelves that are shaped like trees, or hold books upside down, or can even walk. This beautifully crafted book will bring joy to book lovers everywhere."

One season of MSW is MIA but aside from that - I‘m quite happy with this!

Still a lot of books on the floor that hopefully the shelf I‘ve now moved into my bedroom will be able to accommodate but that feels like a job for the weekend

I had a head empty no thoughts kind of Kmart trip…

Questions that would have been good to consider :
Can I lift this by myself? Will it fit in my little car? Will I die navigating the extremely busy carpark after I lose my car? Once I get it out of the trolley, will I manage to get it in the car without the trolley rolling away? How am I carrying this up a flight of stairs? Should I have measured the space I want this to go in?

MrsMalaprop Good luck 🍀 5mo
Bookwormjillk Let us know what happens! 5mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag Not gonna lie, getting lost in the carpark was kinda scary 🥹 entirely too many big cars trying to reverse park in and holding up multiple lanes of cars. Then there is me wandering around with the trolley looking for my car 🤣 it did fit and I got it up the stairs and into my apartment - but I haven‘t started building yet 😜 @MrsMalaprop @Bookwormjillk 5mo

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Bookwormjillk, I‘ve made the side bits and am temporarily bamboozled by the rest of the instructions. Maybe it‘ll make more sense in the morning 🤞🏼 (edited) 5mo
julesG I've had similar days. I have taken pictures of my car in a car park to find it again afterwards. I'm sure you'll manage to set it all up once you've had rest. 5mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, I usually park in a different car park because the open air one is so chaotic but it is near the entrance to Kmart… but yeah, I was off by a good 3 rows… big fan of taking photos usually - but it wouldn‘t have helped this time. I‘m genuinely terrible at puzzles and Lego - so tbh what happens 😂 phoning a friend is always an option 5mo

I got bored - so ended up finishing taking things off in the morning… I guess the real question is - will things go back on today? 🤭

Pa is currently replacing the fly screen on my security door and then - it‘ll be morning tea and then cutting this wood to size to go under the bookshelf.

Everything is coming off - as tomorrow my grandpa is coming over to help me put a little piece of wood under the shelf to tip it backwards so it‘s flush against the wall.

And then I can finally sort this shelf out and finish unpacking the last of my book boxes (hopefully)

Rissreads It‘s taking shape! 6mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Rissreads, I just don‘t know how I fitted so many books on in my old place… I still have so many books on my coffee table that I‘m sure used to fit 6mo

#2/ Right for me all day long. 🤘

Mitch I‘m definitely the left cart! The right brings me out in hives! 4y

Amiable @Lindy Me too! I organize by genre, not color or size. So some shelves are overstuffed, and others have more room. I know where everything is, so that's all that matters! :) 4y

Mitch @Amiable I don‘t sort by colour - but I love the spines to be aligned! 4y
AshleyHoss820 I‘m a little bit of both! My shelves are all neatly arranged by category, then alphabetical by title. But I have other shelves and piles that only make sense to me. 😄😄😄 4y
quietlycuriouskate The one on the right: it looks like total chaos but I know where every book is. 🙂 4y
Hooked_on_books Totally the right. If I had more shelves, I‘d get closer to the left, but then I‘d just buy more books and go back right again! 😆 4y
tracey38 I'd love to be the left but am a little bit of both. I just don't shelf books based on color. 4y

I got a new bookshelf for Christmas to replace the two that were destroyed by movers back in June. I filled it with The Wheel of Time series, my illustrated Harry Potter books, and all the Stephen King books I own. In other news, I am only missing nine of SK‘s books to have a complete collection.

Things were looking grim when I was down to the blue and purple stacks but barring 5 books (which hopefully my smaller bookshelf will be able to absorb) I got everything (plus rather more than a few new books that had been floating around without a bookshelf home) back on! SUCCESS!

I haven‘t mixed my black books into my main shelves for awhile (they used to be all on the bottom shelf)

I‘m always unsure if I like it when I finish a rearrange 😅

julesG My daughter just asked "why????!" She loves your shelves and I think it's her goal to once have shelves like yours, bric-a-brac included. 5y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, my apartment is a bit cramped so changing up my shelves occasionally makes me feel a bit better (it also makes me reassess what I have, get rid of a few that either no longer appeal or that I‘ve read and didn‘t completely love plus it‘s a good opportunity to slot in new books that are just in stacks for me to do something with “later”). When I take everything off I‘m always convinced that not everything will go back on (but it did!) 5y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, haven‘t put my bric-a-brac back on yet - but I‘ll post a finished pic soon and hopefully my shelves will still be aspirational! (I love my bric-a-brac - they all hold special memories for me from stuff my mum made to stuff I‘ve bought on adventures!) 5y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @ShyBookOwl, I‘m always half convinced that I‘ve made it look worse when I reshuffle - but it‘s good fun - I didn‘t think I was going to get everything on (and I was right - but I added in a few new books so it‘s still a win) 5y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Billypar, oh nice! I don‘t have any new shelves (only in my imaginary apartment of dreams) but it felt like it was time to maybe get rid of a few books/slot in some new books... Hope your book handling is going well! (edited) 5y

Bookwomble Genre>Author alphabetically>date of original publication>stacks of books I don't have shelf room for 😊 5y

jb72 Mine are willy nilly. There is no rhyme or reason to my shelving. 5y
Leniverse Century of original publication - alphabetical by author. But I also have some shelves that are Genre - alphabetical by author. 5y
hlgreenfield Personal significance with some stacking in between. I mostly have them by genre and personal taste. It makes sense to me, but to and outsider probably looks like a total mess. Then I have a few that got put out of order and in stacks since the organisation happened 5y
tdrosebud Mine is alphabetical by author. There are several authors that are stacked to help with space. Even further helping with space are photo boxes for those authors that I have more than I have room to stack. 5y
ravenlee alphabetical by author within genres, except for history which is alphabetical by author within time periods. 5y
Soubhiville Genres separate, then alphabetical. 5y
LittleBug Personal significance. My most prominent book case has some of my favourites, sorted by series. There‘s one in the guest room with a mix, so there‘s something for everyone. They are sorted by language and/or genre. The rest is sorted by genre, then author or series. Makes sense to me, probably not to anyone else🤣 5y
mreads By hight I like the shelves to be visually orderly, otherwise completely random 😁 5y
ju.ca.no A mixture of genre, personal taste and significance but also hights and looks and language. I don‘t think it makes sense to anyone but me😂 (edited) 5y
jillannjohn Personal significance but looks like a giant mess. Three bookcases that only make sense to me. 😘 5y
Freespirit I separate classics from modern, literature from general reading, then group authors, I like the height to be similar, and have a TBR bookshelf😊 5y
RamsFan1963 No particular order, it changes every time I either add books or pick my monthly TBR choices. I do have my fiction and non-fiction in separate areas, like any normal person. 5y
LeeRHarry Personal significance - although sometimes it makes it difficult to find things! 😏 5y
Scarlett_ohara I store them in my Kindle 😅 5y
TheDaysGoBy @jb72 This! Which is pretty hysterical considering I normally organize everything. The size of the book determines where it goes because some are tall enough that they only fit on one or two of my shelves lol 5y
jb72 @TheDaysGoBy Yeah you‘d think I‘d be more organized about it, but I like the disorganized book shelves....like finding a treasure. 5y
BeansPage @jb72 🤣🤣🤣 so true! 5y
BeansPage @RamsFan1963 oh boy I better rearrange my shelves then, because I have True Crime and biographies mixed in with fantasy and sci-fi and horror 😳😳😳🤣🤣🤣 5y
RamsFan1963 @TheReadingMermaid lol I didn't mean it as a slight. I read an article once that stated people who have fiction and non-fiction books on the same shelves are people who have a confused sense of reality. I took it seriously at the time (although now I believe reality is whatever you make it) and it's just stuck with me as how I organize my books. 5y
BeansPage @RamsFan1963 no worries sweetie I didn't take it harshly😘. I just thought it was funny because I just reorganized my shelves and yeah they are all mixed in together. So I guess my concept of reality is somewhat altered from normality 🤪 5y
CaroPi Personal significance. Nobody else will ever understand how I organize my books. 5y
jmofo My music and movies and television shows are in alphabetical but my books are not. The books are a mix of the other three. I never thought about it. Maybe because books come in different sizes but mostly the other media in their various other forms are not too different from each other...🤔 5y
MaleficentBookDragon Mostly by genre, but I ran out of bookshelves so there are now just random stacks around the house. 5y
Cedar_and_Grapefruit My non-fiction historical shelves are categorized chronologically by region. My fiction is categorized alphabetically. My poetry is organized by personal significance. My weird books are stacked decoratively amidst other knickknacks. 5y
Tex2Flo I‘m a mix between Stacked (most of the new stuff that hasn‘t found its final home ), Alphabetical (artist compilations), and Category (biography, nature, classic, fantastical) 5y

I‘m feeling kind of blue this Tuesday so I took a picture of my shelves to try to cheer myshelf up (😅). Hope you‘re all having good Tuesdays! 😊

JacqMac Pretty. It makes me think I need to tidy up my bedroom shelf. Lol 6y
TommieMarie74 @JacqMac Same here. This is so pretty, I‘m feeling a little embarrassed about how my bedroom shelves look. 😳 6y

drokka If I hung my rucksack on a knob like that, the poor knob wouldn't stand a chance. 😂 6y
xicanti You've got a lovely setup, made all the more so because I spy some of my favourite fantasies sitting on top. 6y
missevievelyn @JacqMac @TommieMarie74 it helps a lot that I use tidying as a procrastination go-to 😅 6y
missevievelyn @398.2 thanks!! 😊 it‘s only gotten worse lol but hopefully tomorrow will be better! 6y
missevievelyn @drokka Hahaha, I definitely have to take a lot of stuff out of it first 😅 plus the books weigh the shelf down, so it won‘t tip over!! 👍 6y
missevievelyn @xicanti thanks!! 😊 The small stack on top is my all time favourites stack!! Sounds like we share some fantasy tastes! 😄 6y

I'm working my way through my bookshelves, getting rid of books I'll never read or have read and don't need to keep. This is the bookshelf I tackled yesterday. Look at all that empty space for new books! I can't wait to fill it up! 😀

BucklingBookshelves It‘s always fun to organize the Bookshelves! I always think that cleared space will stay empty, but it never does 😝📚📚 6y
smilingshelves @Bucklingbkshelf I know this won't stay empty for long, because I have stacks of books that need homes on the shelves. At least I've recorded this moment for posterity! 😀 6y
